This has been quite the crazy year. I haven’t bred any rabbits since early spring. Recently I bred a couple of does which will be due in a couple of weeks. Next week I’m hoping to breed three more does, two of which are new from this spring’s breedings.
On a sad note, we said goodbye to Maverick and Davina this year. They will be sorely missed.
Maverick
He was my first buck and refused to eat until he got pets and scratches.
Davina
Always so sweet and falling out of her cage to greet us.
We have added a Beveren doe to our meat breeding program. Her name is Bellafina. Mercutio, our fuzzy Beveren buck, will be super excited when she is old enough to breed. lol
Look for some sale bucks coming up soon. I’ll try to get pictures uploaded next week.
I’ve culled 6 of the 11 kits that I had from my January litters. Here is what is left along with comments from a fellow Champagne breeder. The doe is spoken for, but the bucks are available to the people on my waiting list (those people should have a text message from me). These pictures were the best I could get given that these are junior bucks and I was by myself doing this, so understand that they are not perfect pictures or poses.
N15R1, Buck $100 Comments: Nice rise, but could move its peak back a bit. Great depth/width of loin. Well balanced. He’s a little low in the shoulder which makes his body a little long.
NBR1 (Formerly known as B), Buck $80 Comments: He’s a tall buck with nice width of loin, but flat. Good HQ and shoulders.
N3R1, Buck $80 Comments: Excellent meat rabbit. Good width, but very flat. Good rise with full HQ, and beautiful fur.
O3R1, Buck $80 Comment: Good rise and full HQ. May have a white spot on its back. Will show well if the white spot doesn’t develop.
