We have been lucky this year to have a mild summer with many cool nights and rain. Makes it much more enjoyable for me and the buns. Less flies too!
With no shows in sight for months I don't have much going on. Shows inspire us to evaluate the rabbits one by one and groom and get excited about them. However when they are so far away it becomes less exciting each month. Especially with Hollands who may look phenomenal now, but by November, not so much.
We didn't do much breeding at all over the summer, just worked on our 2 does we really wanted a litter out of. On the bright side, all four kits look amazing. I really feel this will be our first round being able to offer up something of show quality. So for those of you interested in a buck later this fall you may want to let me know now. We are growing 3 out and as lovely as they are, we do not have a need for 3 bucks, so will likely part with 1 or 2 of them. We also have a brood doe that is just turned senior that we have decided to let go. We are still on the fence about Sugar. He is a solid tort buck. He is on the small side, but he is very very typey. He would be excellent for someone who needs him with the bigger gals. He is built so nice we have really hesitated to let him go, however where we are still working on our line breeding project we don't have a need for him anywhere in our near future. I'll be working on photos for listings soon.
