Spring plans

We are down in Calgary visiting for the week and packing up most of the bunnies to take back up north for the "breeding months" We have also sexed our litter out of Thumper and the broken orange doe, there is a magpie buck, two black orange harli bucks, one broken black buck, and two black does. Most of the boys will be available once they get weaned and are eating solids well which will be another month yet. They will be heading back with us so will be available close to Grande Prairie and not Calgary. There will be nothing available for sale in the Calgary area until at least fall/early winter.

We also sent one doe with mom to the SARBA Chestermere show this past weekend. SLR's AnnaPrimRose placed 1st/8 and took a BOSV win in the solid senior doe class. She took two other 2/8 placings and sadly has a broken toe which DQ'd her from the fourth table. We still may send her out to a show or two to see if she can get those other two legs for GC papers but if not she'll make a fantastic brood doe. Our plans are to breed her this summer to SLR's Thumper our black buck with 2 GC legs. Anyways I will post some photos of the babies when they get older as they are in that ugly stage so it's a bad time to take photos! Hope all is well with everyone!

SLR's Zoro

Meet SLR's Zoro a just turned SR buck here who is out of SLR's Aiden, sire of Aiden is GC SLR's Tritan who was 9th Top Lop in 2010. This little guy was the pick of the litter born in fall and has really grown up nicely. He's super smooth with a beautiful head and bone to match.

Watch for some babies out of this guy in the summer!

A LARGE bunch of babies!

We had a HUGE second litter from one of our broken orange does that was born on Mar 14/14. She had a whopping 9 babies with two of them being peanuts that died. Color wise there looks to be one broken black, two black, one black & orange tri, two black & orange harlequins and one magpie. All the babies are doing really well under this mom's watchful eye! It's been at least 7 years since we've had a broken black born here(which is Mom's favorite color) so she has already laid the "it's mine" claim on this little one!

On the second note we are still sold out at the moment and will be until at least June. That being said 99% of the animals are sold in Beaverlodge not in Calgary as we usually sell animals during the spring, summer and fall which is where the herd in during those months. There are several other breeders that are within the Calgary area that usually will have stock available year round. We also operate on a first come first serve basis meaning that we usually don't do a waiting list, when something comes available it gets posted here and then it's sold that way.

Here's a photo of mom and dad of this newest litter!

SLR's Thumper who has 2 GC legs with one showing.

This is a baby photo of them mom who was born here last summer out of our harli buck SLR's Aiden and an outcross tri doe.

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!
