New additions to SLR

This is a little cutie that we picked up on the way down to Calgary this weekend! She's adorable and hopefully going to be a great brood doe! Here's her as a junior and I'll post a name after I find out if she has one! Thanks to Sharin of Hoppy Acres Rabbitry for this little doll plus her mom and another tri doe!

A little bit more about the folks that run SLR

Besides raising rabbits for the last twelve years we have some other hobbies that pretty much all involve animals. Our family runs a cow calf and backgrounding operation which involves about 200 head of cows, 200 calves and 200 steers/heifers. A cow calf operation is one that raises the calf and a backgrounding one takes the calf from weaning time until they weigh about 900 pounds in which they are ready to go to a feedlot and be fed for finish. This keeps us pretty busy chasing cows from pasture to pasture in the summer and feeding the herd in the winter!

Another passion of mine has always been horses. I was certified as a CHA riding instructor at age 17 in Texas and still have a strong passion for them 7 years later! We are the owners of one beautiful palomino gelding who gives pony rides to the wee neices and nephews in his spare time and helps us move cows from place to place as a real job. He's been broke to both ride & drive by myself and he's now giving lessons to the little ones around here. Putting kids up on horses has been my biggest joy in life for a long time now and to have a horse that loves doing it just as much as I do has been such a blessing!  Here's some photos gathered from around the farm over the last few years.

For Sale Tort Junior Buck

This adorable doll is looking for a new home as I'm keeping his broken brother instead. This guy is just a little too long in body and a little too big for show but he is out of GC SLR's Tritan! He's showing some very promising development in the head & crown area and has fantatic short bone! He'll be a nice looking dude when he's older. He's $40 to  pet home with no papers.

An update at SLR

Hhhmm well here goes to show how good I am at the keyboard, I just wrote a nice long update and then swiftly deleted it within two key strokes. Instead of re-writing the whole thing I will still make the same posts that were promised this week so stay tuned for updates!

For Sale SLR's Opal Jr Doe

This little gal is available to a pet home for $50.00 and was born on March 25 2012. Her parents are SLR's Aiden and SLR's Athena which should make her mature to around the 4 pound mark. She is a big sweetheart always coming up to the cage door when it's opened for some love! She also loves to get out of her cage and explore everything and anything! She's used to kids, dogs and other bunnies and will be dewormed and tattooed before leaving to a new home! Drop me a line at starlitrabbitry@hotmail.com for more information.

For Sale SLR's Tri SR buck

So this little guy is quite the character! He loves to explore and will push his head out of the cage door everytime for attention. He doesn't have a name right now but he is available to a pet home and will be a year old in fall. This guy does have one bad habbit right now and that is his spraying! So he would be perfect for an outside home or someone who is willing to try him out and see if he would stop it if not around other bunnies. He is not a bad buck type wise but does carry some length through his shoulder and his crown needs a little work. Gret head for a young buck and nice clean tri coloring! Anyways on to his photos!

Bunnies in Beaverlodge!

To start off spring we have moved 12 bunnies from Calgary up to our Beaverlodge location for the summer and fall. All the bunnies head back to Calgary come fall as we don't have a heated building to keep them in over the cold northern Alberta winters. We have been bringing all our sale animals up here and selling them but this year we don't have much to sell so we have brought our brood stock up to hopefully get a few litters up here. Here's a list of who is up here!

Boys are:
GC SLR's Tritan
SLR's Chambler
SLR's No name tri SR buck who is FOR SALE, photos to follow
