First Show of the year and New MR

The MSU show was well not a very successful one for us, we had really nothing that was bred here to show, only those that we had bought from other breeders. Everyone is out of condition, so I was suspecting us not to do well but it was fun no matter what and I was able to buy some things that I had been wanting for awhile.

We decided to hold off on shows until we get some of our own juniors on the table, so now if only we can get these darn rabbits to breed. It's been a struggle that's for sure. I bred four today and one is due on the 26th but after palpating her I'm positive she's not pregnant. I really don't think anyone took today, the bucks were being lazy, only one of my does were even ready. But out of all that I bred only one is a proven mother, the others are all virgins so we will see what happens.

We bought four new MR at the show so I'll do some introductions:
My husbands First Black otter Doe

Pride my broken red buck- Soooo excited.
Ginger- Castor Doe






PC's Dopey- Castor Buck\




We badly needed new foundation stock to work on our lines better and these four will be a big bonus for us. Plus I can finally see some broken red kits in my future, now if only I can get spice bred to him. She carry's red and has a heavier pattern, so paired with pride I do believe I will get a few nicely marked kits. 

We also were able to pick up a 9 hole cage bringing us to a total of 26 holes, much more to work with. Now I have a place for Jr's till I decide if they stay or go.
