Hi all. Things are getting exciting(for me at least). In another post I had mentioned that weare doing 4H this year with rabbits....my son is going to show and domeat pens. I had been having a hard time finding anyonewilling to sell show quality rabbits...I wanted show quality because Iwant to start out good, and not have to keep adding a lot of rabbits(all Californians) for 4H and I'm hoping that things will go wellenough that I can supply for other 4Hers.
Anyway....I finally found someone to sell me some nice lookingrabbits ...atleast to my untrained eye. I bought three does for the priceof my leg! And they are beautiful. The have reallynice rounded backs in pose and good shoulders and full hips.Today I am going to look at bucks....the guy I got the does from had abeauty of a buck but he was only 3-4 mos old (not old enough to breedby the end of November) but a great show quality buck. I maygo get him later after I get my breeding bucks, then again I may findsomething even better than him.
My cages, by the way turned out saggy, I got the wrong babysaver wire.(I got hardwarecloth) I finally found the 1/2 by 1" welded wire and am going to fix theircages.
Now for the pet buns....Ella is stilldigging. I finally got a newpaper to try to put in there and see if that willstop it. Flying poop is just not on my love to dolist! But she is doing well after the scare Ozzy (RIP) put usthrough. Bubba is still messier than ever! But itis getting better with the weather getting cooler. Jenna andLex are still unhappy about not being togetheranymore. Jenna may join our breeding stock...It all depends on our bucks...shehas low shoulders, which is a deduction (or something like that) so atleast one of our bucks needs to have good shoulders...hopefully bothwill.
Yes! Texas is cooling off!!! I'mthrilled.
That's all for now...

I forgot to mention...I am going to my very first ARBA showtomorrow!!! I am so excited. I'm taking a travelcage JUST IN CASE!!! This is going to be so neat...I can't wait to seeall the rabbits, and hopefully talk to some breeders. WooHoo!
