Introducing my new red doe and black buck

I finally found something to update on here, not much has really been going on. Pretty much to a hiatus from things since our last failed breeding's. This time around we have four does bred, I plan to just foster out sunburns kits as soon as they are born to another doe, or split however many she has amongst the does who have kits themselves. I know for a fact all the other does are wonderful mothers, so there should not be a problem.

I realized I should introduce my two new additions, we got from our dearest friend Kellie. 

First up Ella, who is actually a kit from one of my own bucks that I gave to our friend. Really impressed with his lines that he passed on. She's a nice Doe, can't be shown because her sibling chewed on her ears but she should make a good addition to our breeding program when she's ready to breed. I plan to line breed her back to her sires brother, so her uncle. She's is in molt right now, so her coat could use some improvement, but I like her. Nice short ears, good clean coat, good density. I think i like her shoulders.



Next up is my new black buck, black jack. Not sure what I want to do with him, since I don't breed blacks. I might though, who knows what the future holds. I'll show him see how he dose, then maybe purchase a black doe to pair up with him. 



Hopefully my future posts includes kits, we are desperate to improve out lines but only if we can get these does to take and then keep the kits alive. 

Thanks for reading

Happy New Year

Happy New years everyone! Wow 2013 seems like 2012 was barley here.

New and exciting changes for us. We are going to buy another six hole cage plus a larger three hole. Bringing our total to 23 holes, 24 actually but I'm debating on if I want to keep my large single hole. It is getting old, but I might be able to bring it back to life. It's useful for a grow out pen but a pain to clean so we shall see. Plus plan to bring in a few new rabbits so I can rebuild my show and breeding team. I'm starting to see the light, now lets hope for good luck!

Anywho happy new years from The Vadnais Family!
