News update

For those folks who haven't noticed. . . things REALLY slow down here at SLR over the winter months! We usually don't have anything to sell and don't have more then a few litters born during the winter months. Well we have two litters due near the end of January, two sisters bred to our Thumper and have one little harli guy from the summer available. He'd be best suited as a pet or brood but I'll try to get some new photos of him when we get back to Beaverlodge!

Anyways here's some photos of Thumper and the junior photos of the gals that he's bred too! They should make some good show bunnies for spring!

SLR's Thumper who has 2 junior legs but hasn't been out to show as a SR.
SLR's AnnaPrimRose who just turned SR.
And her full sister.

A Junior Buck

This little dude is a sibling to the tort doe and we're going to grow him out a little to see how he matures as we currently have no broken bucks to breed too! We've retired a lot of our boys so it's time to bring up some new ones and this little guy is one!

A promising JR

This little gal was the smallest in the litter and not the nicest put together doe in the beginning so I ignored her until now but she has really blossomed in the last week! She has that show attitude and wants everyone to look at how pretty she is. She also has a beautiful smooth and well put together body with awesome bone and a big chunky head for a doe!

Anyways enough of me giving you a mental image, here's her updated photos taken today!

Another cute little doe!

Here's another sibling in the litter born in July. This little gal is the last girl to be posted but just as cute as the others. She'll make a good brood doe when she's grown up!

We also had another new litter born on September 19/13 which consits of two heavily marked harlis and a tort. We'll post photos of those guys when they are older!

The cutest little tort doe

So this little gal is pretty much the cutest little tort doe ever! She is the smallest in the litter but is a very typey bunny and we're excited to watch her grow up and fill out. This girl is most of the rabbitry visitors favorite when they stop at the baby section.

We've also got these girls bred;
Aiden to Sassy
Aiden to Seven
Aiden to Dixie
Buster to Kendall

New babies at SLR

We are excited to annouce a new litter born on the 10th of July out of SLR's Aiden and HAR's Promise. There was four bunnies born, two broken oranges one doe and one buck, a black & orange harli doe and a tort doe. They are super cute babies and we managed to get some photos of them last night!

On that note we are officially SOLD OUT meaning that we have nothing currently available! If you are interested please inquire in a month or two and we'll know more about other litters that may be availble then.

Here's one little one and the others will be posted in the days to follow. This gal is a black and orange harlequin and cute as a button! She's the largest doe in the litter but is still pretty cute looking at this stage plus what a little sweetheart to boot!

Rain

Here's some photos of the youngest border collie we have here on the farm. She was born on Feb 28 2010 so is just a little over 3 years old now. She weighs 48 lbs and is a "wanna be tri color" meaning that she doesn't have the typical tri markings but obviously has the gene for it.

The above two photos are of her when she was a year old with some steers on the other side of the fence.
This photo was taken in the fall of 2010 so she would have been 7-8 months
This is her at a little over 2 years old.


 The above two are her at a little over 3 years, she's finally filled out a bit!
This one was taken a few days ago.

A cute little broken tort doe

This is the other doe that was born on Christmas day, sibling to the tri doe that was previously posted. We took some photos of both girls at the same time so thought to share the one's of this little gal. She has already found a new home in the GP area and we are keeping the tri doe to show and breed.

Anyways here's the little cute spunky gal.

An update at SLR

Spring in just around the corner and so close that we can feel it! The snow is melting and we are getting ready to start calving any day now. We were down to Calgary last weekend and picked up two boys who were posted for sale, those two little cuties are gone now so we are sold out yet again. The plan is however to bring up some more breeding stock again in May and have some little ones born at the farm over the summer.

We also have a posing article on the to do list so look for that shortly here. Until then have a fantastic weekend and enjoy this new photo of GC SLR's Tritan taken this weekend. This guy was the number 9th Top Lop in 2010 and is getting pretty old now but is still hanging around having a litter or two of kids! He was born and raised here at SLR and comes from a long line of really nice homebred tort does. For being so old he looks fantastic but is starting to show his age. I sure do adore this little guy = )

A cute little tri doe

This little gal was born at Christmas along with her broken tort sister. They are a cute pair of girls and we finally got around to taking some photos of them!

Anyways I will let her photo do the introduction! This little gal will be sticking around to either show even though she's torted or to join the brood doe program and make some clean typey little tris = ) She reminds me a lot of the beautiful tri girl SLR's Sassy when she was younger!

For Sale In Beaverlodge

These two little dudes were born a year ago and are now looking for new homes in the Beaverlodge area. Please note that we seldom sell anything in the Calgary area as we are not often down in that neck of the woods!

Both these guys are available for $40 each and come with a bag of transitional food, a free nail clipping, tattooed, up to date on deworming and a 30 day health guarantee. They do not come with papers as they are being sold as pet quality. This means that we consider them healthly and friendly but that they don't have quite the right stuff needed to pass on to future generations for the positive progression of the Holland Lop breed standard. They can be neutered at the Bear Creek or West County animal clinics for $110 plus tax and we do recommend doing so as this gets rid of the chance of testicular cancer later in life which is a common problem in older intact male rabbits. Anways here are the photos of the "kids" taken on March 2/13. Please e-mail me at starlitrabbitry@hotmail.com with any questions on the boys, these are the only two that we have available at the moment.
