Most of the girls have had a good breeding break over the summer so we'll be breeding quite a few of them over the next bit. We're still trying to get back to genetically correct tri colors and breed out the otter gene that is in them so we can stop producing so many foxes and improve the orange color. It's been a couple years already but I think we are almost there if we can just roll the dice right and end up with some tris now! We'll part with some brood does after we get some litters on the ground so should have some does available in January or so.
We have a couple cute litters right now that are just over a month old.
Grand Champion Registered SLR's Sundance Kidd x VIB2 has three tort does in the box. We were hoping for a nice tort doe from this cross to replace the dam with. This is a repeat cross as it produced Grand Champion Registered SLR's Billy The Kidd who had 9 legs by about 7 months of age.
Grand Champion Registered LLL James x Grand Champion Registered SLR's Annie Oakley has a broken tort doe and a black doe in the box. Annie's our little 5 times Best In Show Winner and 2 times Reserve In Show winner and we were hoping for a broken tort out of this cross so we can have some brokens on the table. Outcross so we'll see how this gamble paid off in a few months.
That's pretty much all that's new for now, just getting the bunnies ready to be moved into the heated barn for the winter. The cages are almost all pressure washed, barns clean, bunnies are dewormed so we're just waiting for the temps to drop so they have to be inside as they seem so happy outside. That's our update for now, hope all is well with everyone!
Grand Champion SLR's Billy The Kidd as a just turned SR buck.
