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.

The bunnies are back in Beaverlodge!

With spring comes the time to move the brood stock back up north for spring summer and fall breedings. Here's a list of the bunnies that we brought with us;

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.

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!

Here's photos of the two pround parents = )
