I sold 2 rabbits this afternoon, woo-hoo :) Ran to feed store...but they were closed. I'll have to get grain tomorrow morning. I've decided to switch grain. The Purina Show Formula just isn't quite doing it for me, so I ordered some bags of Manna Sho Formula instead. I used Manna Sho wayyyyy back when I first started breeding and showing rabbits. At the time I had Satins and Jersey Woolies, after I switched to Manna I started winning BIS's & RIS's at almost every show I attended, once even taking BIS & RIS at the same show. The rabbits fur was gorgeous, and flesh condition was amazing, so I decided to make the switch back. Hopefully I'll see the same results I did almost 6 years ago.
Another note, I really, really want Checkered Giants. I located a breeder in Maine, I'm hoping the information the woman from the ACGRC is up to date and he is still breeding, because he's close to me. I am very excited...I have sold out of Holland Lops, am cutting back on Mini Rex and may sell out of them completely, and am going to be selling the Hares. I love the Belgians, but I have NO outside breeding stock, everything I have is related and I can no longer breed the lines I have and for 2 years have not been able to get an outside lined buck in my rabbitry, so I'm giving up. I tried my hardest to promote and breed this lovely Arched animal, but I'm at a stand still and can't find a way out without importing very expensive animals which I can't do right now.
Anyway, I'm hoping to have these Checkered's in my rabbitry before the snow hits the ground. C.G's and the woolies are going to be my main focus, after my 2 Mini Rex does kindle I'm going to keep the best one from each litter and show them on a very limited basis, I'm not sure I'm going to continue breeding them.
