Molting & Herd Bucks

I feel like I am covered in fur every time I go to the barn right now.  The cages, ceiling and walls are covered in fur even after we clean them.  It will be so nice when the summer molts are over.  We desperately need to update our website.  We have several Hollands to add to the website. But we can't take pictures during their molts.  We are really excited about Lil' Bit Farms' Lane.  Melanie and LeAnne sold him to us this month.  He is our new herd buck.  Lane is awesome.  He has a wonderful body and head.  His personality is awesome - very friendly.  We are very fortunate to have such a great Holland in our barn.  We are still sad that we had to replace our other herd buck, Sampsom.  We lost Sampsom this summer.  That loss was devastating to our rabbitry.  We didn't expect to be able to replace Sampsom with a new herd buck so soon.  We were really excited when Lane came up for sale.  We never dreamed we would have a Holland of his quality this soon in our rabbitry's life.  We started showing a little over 3 years ago.  We expected it would be about 8 - 10 years before we would have great Hollands.  But thanks to our friends selling us Hollands and mentoring us that process accelerated quickly.  Philip has been very successful in Kansas and nationally.  Thanks to everyone who has contributed to that success.
