Meet Registered SLR's Starburst

This guy is getting up there in age but has new photos anyways. The first two are the new ones and the third is this guy as a older junior. He's got a good black to orange ratio however his orange is light and getting lighter the older he gets. In this way he could be called a black fawn tri which is not an accepted color combination. He's always had a great head piece on him and has been shown earning two legs one for BOS at eight weeks old. Not bad for a tri eh?

I'll try and take some photos of some torts here as I feel they've got a bit of a backseat in the last bit. I love the tris but a gorgeous tort isn't all too shabby either! We've still got the black orange harlequin buck pictured a little bit ago available but all others have been sold. Should be some more juniors coming soon!

Here's Starburst.

New babies!

We're happy to announce that SLR's Kaylee a tri doe posted a few days ago has two chubby happy kits in the box out of GC SLR's Tritan. These guys are sure to be stocky and nice! They were born two days ago now and are settling into the new world just fine! Photos to follow after Christmas.

Another cute little tri doe!

This is the third doe in the litter out of SLR's Buster and GC SLR's Moxie. This turned out to be a very good cross so far! Moxie is lighter in bone and Buster makes up for that but is a bit of a lower topline & headmount which Moxie makes up for, we'll have to see what these guys look like full grown.

This little gal was sadly over cleaned by her mom at birth so is missing both ears but does quite well and can certainaly be used as a brood doe. She is deeper in orange color than her sister but I would say that she still is a little bit torted especially on her nose. She's a nice upright doe with her daddys smooth body. So here she is!

Meet SLR's Buster

We're going to switch it up today and post one of our SR tri bucks SLR's Buster instead of another daughter of his.

Buster's been here quite awhile and by looking at his photos you'll see why! He's a super laid back buck with the best personality and has good looks to boot. He's probably one of the smoothest bucks I have ever laid my hands on and has a great big head to match. His faults are that he's just a little too big overall tipping the 4 lb mark carries a bit of length and my biggest little pet peeve - a slipped crown & folded ears! I do tend to be quite picky especially about the boys here but Buster has earned a spot on the brood bucks team. This is the sire to the two tri does and one harli doe recently pictured so we figured it was time for an introduction. He's been throwing some very promising babies for us here!

Here's SLR's Buster

A cute little tri

These photos are a little more clear than her previous introduction photos however she has a bald face now! So I took some new shots anyways but you'll have to excuse the head for now. This is an un-named torted tri doe out of SLR's Buster(Full sibling to Kaylee pictured below) and GC SLR's Moxie. SLR's Bumble is her sister and the third sister will be posted tomorrow.

Minus being in the uglies, she's got a great body and a promising head/crown piece. She is torted but we may have a show debut for her at the Wetaskiwin show in Feb. She'll quickly join the brood ranks here to produce some tris that look and feel like her type wise but have clean color!

Meet SLR's Kaylee

I took some new photos of this gal even though she's an older brood doe because she's just gorgeous. Keep in mind that she's a doe with a bucks head, ear crown piece and is almost as wide as she is long. She is a little chubby and flabby as she is an older doe but still has a showy presence and the sweetest attitude.

Kaylee is out of Reg. SLR's Starburt and SLR's Samara, full sibling to the blue fawn harlequin buck pictured in a previous for sale post. She is an exampe of a clean colored tri. I'll try to put some comparision photos between torted and clean tris to help those in need of some clarification.

Anyways here's the beginning of some new photos this week, meet SLR's Kaylee.

Meet SLR's Bumble

So I wanted to share atleast one photo before Monday rolls around! I took pictures of the harli and tri doe out of SLR's Buster and GC SLR's Moxie.
Meet SLR's Bumble, she's a tiny torted harli doe who is a doll and pretty darn cute to boot. She will stick around to join the brood doe ranks here to hopefully produce some nice tris for us in the future. Where there's a little more time to write I'll explain how the tort to harli or tri breedings go here. We love the type AND the color which is why we use torts however torted tri are a DQ and should be DQ'd for being four colors. Anyways I'll dive into the subject more later this week! Here's Bumble!

Calgary!

Robin and I just arrived in Calgary and the first place we ventured to was to the barn to check out the new babies! There is one gorgeous torted tri doe and a harli doe out of Buster and Moxie! Along with two cute little harlis, a tri and two broken chestnuts out of Athena and Chamber. I'll try and take some photos and post the little cuties starting Monday.

There will be one nicely marked tri doe out of Buster and Moxie that has no ears available shorlty after Christmas, we'll hang on to her two sisters for now to see how they turn out!

Anyways time for bed after the long drive.

Photo's

For those who don't know, I work as a registered animal health technologist in a small rural practice which I love doing. As a happy note, calving season has started today and we pulled our first live calf of the season! That's always a good way to start off.

Looking at this blog on a different computer I realized that it stretches the photos out sideways making the bunnies look really loooong in body on some computers. So if the photos look like this then it's not the bunnies nor the photos themselves yet the computer in which you are on.

Have a happy and warm day!

Meet GC SLR's Moxie

This is Moxie and she is the sweetest little gal ever. She's placed multiple BOB, BOS etc and has even taken the honors of best of the best opposites. She's got some cute little tri's in the box right now out of SLR's Buster that should be hitting the tables soon. She is a favourite here producing animals such as GC SLR's Bailey out of GC SLR's Tritan.

Here's the cute little gal.
