Well I had a rabbit show in Cobleskill, NY yesterday. I took almost all of the dutch(missed my tort buck) and they actually did fairly well. Neena, my tort junior doe did the best with her mother, Kitty, doing the worst. The two blue's that I brought were mediocre along with the two blacks. I sold a holland brood doe, I'm weaning down to 4 bucks and 4 does by winter (I hope) and leaving room to get another dutch doe.
Naturally I came home with new ones. A blue Dutch buck and a blue Mini Rex buck.
For those of you that don't know the difference, the Dutch have the white markings, they need to have specific markings and Sam's are very good compared to my present Blue buck, Larry. So when Larry's babies with Amita are born, I'm keeping a doe from that litter and selling Larry on to another breeder to start their own herd.
The little mini rex buck is only 8 weeks old, he might lighten and turn into a more Lilac color or he might darken and go a good blue still. He's sharing a cage with Dylan, my Holland buck baby right now.
Dylan is doing wonderful, he looks very very promising, I can't wait to start showing him.
He's incredibly friendly and *loves* to play with you.
Grandma, Aunt Cathryn, I took this picture for you, I'm sure you recognize mommy Neigh, but this is baby Olivia who you didn't get to see, so I took a picture of them for you.
