Herd Updates

10/2/2015

 
Boy it's been awhile since I have posted anything about our herd.  Sometimes I get the impression the general populatiion only cares about cute fluffy babies.  And since that is the last thing I care about, I rarely have little fluff balls to post.  Yes they are adorable and I enjoy them so much, however at our rabbitry we are very very committed to growing ours sometimes into their senior months before making any decisions.  During that time there are so many times I think, yep your going to go and then a week or so later I get the same rabbit out only to realize it has potential. Besides that, being a Holland Lop Breeder in Utah is almost sickening if you look on KSL.  Thanks to all the people who don't care about the breed, there are oodles and oodles of 6 week old babies on ksl.  It truly makes me cringe.  I wish there were penalties for these people who promote breeding and selling babies for money.  Ugh.
On that note, we have had only 2 litters in the past 5 months.  One included 3 bucks out of my favorite doe, Clover.  They other was a single doe.  Needless to say, they are all looking really nice.  The doe was a line breeding project so has replaced her dam.  I really didn't want to hang on to all 3 bucks, but it looks like I may have to.  The little broken seemed so scrawny as a kit I kind of wrote him off from the get go, and now he is my favorite one.  They are from our slow growing line so it's taking them awhile to mature through their uglies.  The solid tort and the broken tort have almost finished up their molt and I am in love with both of them.  The black buck is still working on his molt but looks really nice and has huge bone.
