New Christmas Babies at SLR!

We had a litter born here on Christmas day out of SLR's Aiden a harlequin buck and a broken tort doe out of GC SLR's Tritan and GC SLR's Bailey. It sounds like she had one harli who didn't make it and has two remaining tri babies. These guys should be really nice chunky babies when they are grown up! We're going to be heading down to Calgary next weekend so will post some new photos of some of the bunnies as soon as we get there!

It's beginning to look like Christmas!

Christmas is our favorite time of year here and it's quickly coming! We've been busy at the farm vaccinating the calves and just got them all weaned on Monday. We just have the cows to preg check and deworm and then things should be quiet until we start calving on March 31st.

Robin and I just got back from a flying trip down to Calgary for my sisters wedding. We were only able to stay down there for 24 hours because of our work schedules but was able to have a look through the bunnies and see how things are going! The little tri JR doe has really popped into herself and is looking like a beautiful showy little doe! Sadly none of the litters caught from the last breeding and we did end up loosing Tahiti Treat to a pregnancy complication. The gals are all re-bred though for Christmas babies! When I'm back down there around the 27th I will take some photos of the two old junior bucks that are available too so stay tuned for those photos!

Anyways I thought to share a photo of a good friend here who was really put off that we went away and did not take him to see what was happening down south! Even with being gone for just about three days including the driving he was SO excited when we got home that he had to tell us about it non-stop while I was out doing chores for everyone else! What a silly kid! We've also officially had this guy now for three years which makes him ten years old, he is now broke to both ride and drive so there is never a dull day which is spent outside!
