I just wish Dayka had been in coat, the judges really loved him, he just couldn't compete with the REW bucks in top condition with his coat unfinished. I am very pleased with Quinn's placement and Image winning the Colored wool class.

Next show is Feb 27th in New Gloucester, Maine.

so my final show list got cut down..again

I went out this afternoon to clean some cages/feed all that good stuff, pulled my shaded wooly jr doe out of her cage, and oh my god.

The oats really did the trick getting her back into flesh condition, she is much smoother, but she hasn't finished out her senior molt and I doubt her coat will be ready to show in 6 days. I couldn't resist, the fluff was flying so I plucked the remaining spots of dead coat out. She is now half senior coat and half dark bald spots where I plucked and her new coat is growing in. I put my hands on her and I'm happy with her body type, nice width, good depth, and is becoming really smooth again after her week of rolled oats. I haven't managed to show her yet, but I really want to, she will be turning senior soon. That coat is also coming in nicely.

My broken wooly jr doe is also out of coat, the fluff is flying everywhere with both of them being older juniors starting to get their senior coats in.

The only wooly I will be bringing is Dayka, my self sr. buck. He earned a GC leg at his last show and I haven't shown him since then, so we'll see how he does, he is out of flesh condition too but I've been upping his grain ration and giving him oats.

I am bringing my 2 BEW jr mini rex does. Ice is looking really, really nice. She is so deep and wide. Frezia is very short in body, I like Ice's fur better, so we'll see what happens.

That's it, that's my show list. I'll see you all next weekend!

Well then!

My show list for next weekend just got shorter. My shaded wooly doe went into a major molt today, I was pulling handfuls of wool out all day long, and she has a big spot missing in her wool cap.

She was one of my hopefuls. Looks like I'm down to 1 JW for the show, my 2 BEW MR are starting to molt as well, they're both at that age where they'll be turning senior soon and blowing coats. One of them has it worse then the other, so we'll see.

I don't think I'll be bringing my jr. black buck along, I'd like him to grow out some more first, he is really tiny, too small to throw up on the table and be competitive.

I don't think I'll be showing the Hare, I have no interest in it, she's fighting me to post every day and she too is blowing coat.

So my show list is down to 3.

At least that leaves me more $ to buy cages and meat breed stock :)

Jan 17th Final Show List

I've made my final decisions on who I'm brining to the show next weekend. I've been up and down all week on who I want to bring and who I SHOULD bring. I need to learn to leave rabbits half bald at home!

I palpated one of my Black MR this morning...still doesn't feel like she took, but I am horrible at palpating..so I guess we'll see what happens, but if she didn't take, she's coming to the show with me, she is in excellent coat condition right now.

I am only bringing 2 Jersey Woolies. A Self Sr. Buck and a Shaded Jr. Doe. I was really contemplating bringing a Broken Jr. Doe, but I have a feeling she is over for a junior, and with her molty coat she wouldn't be able to compete with the senior class in full coat. She has a gorgeous head, better then all of my bucks in the barn, she also has the cutest pattern I've seen.

Mini Rex, I am bringing 2 BEW JR Does, sisters, who are very closely matched in type. One has better fur then the other so we will see who will beat out who. I may also bring a Black Jr Buck, that Black Sr Doe if she didn't take and that's it for that breed.

I might be bringing the Hare doe, because someone sanctioned them and might as well at least bring her to have more competition or fill a class. But that's it for my show list, very small. All the other rabbits look awful right now, blowing coats left and right.
