ERBA Show

Just realized I never put my results on here. The ERBA show had to be moved at last minute, because the stable was double booked. The show end up being in an open arena. It was a very cold show! Luckily the sun was out, it could have been even colder (last year it snowed at this show...). I was really happy with how the rabbits did. I only took five Dutch with me, and three Silver Martens.

Dutch Results:
Show A
Rogue (Black jr doe)- Best of Breed (2nd leg)
Maverick (Black jr buck)- Best Opposite Sex (1st leg)

Show B
Jewel (Black jr doe)- Best Opposite Sex (1st leg and 1st show!)
Maverick- Best Opposite Sex Variety (not enough for a leg :(

Silver Marten Results:
Show A
Arson (Black sr buck)- Best of Breed (14th leg)

Show B
Arson- Best Opposite Sex (15th leg!)


Currently have 5 litters, and 6 more due next week. One of my litters reaches weaning age this weekend, but sadly there are no keepers in it. I have a gorgeous little Black doe in it but her undercut just barely touches her elbow. Made the mistake of looking at her type when Nicole was over yesterday... My other litters look to have some nice ones coming up luckily.
Nicole took Arson yesterday, and brought me Ember and Cinder. We decided to sell Ember (Black buck), as he just can't beat his dad. Nicole has a breeder whose able to transport rabbits to some shows for her, so we're hoping Arson might be able to make it to both Yakima and Davenport. Not that he needs any more legs... ;)
Next show for me is the Yakima show on April 10th. Will be judging at it.
