New Pictures

We tried to take pictures yesterday to update our website.  However, we had a few hams in the barn that wanted to show off instead.  Spike and Simon wanted to look around.  They are so cute!

Spring is coming!

We have crocuses peaking up in the flower beds.  Suga had a litter of 5 babies yesterday.  Sabi had a litter of 3 today.  New life is popping up everywhere.  Now the snow just needs to stop and the sun needs to come out.  We are definitely ready for spring in Kansas.

Illustrated Guide for Holland Lops

I found a great post on Hollands last night.  Oak Ridge Rabbitry has a new post that describes what the different parts of Hollands should like.  They also have pictures that illustrate good and poor characteristics.  You can find this information at http://oakridgerabbitry.weebly.com/holland-lop-type.html.  Thanks to Oak Ridge Rabbitry for taking the time to put this information together.  It is excellent. 

Abilene Rabbit Show

We finally had a rabbit show this weekend.  We haven't been to a show since the middle of November.  But it feels like much longer than that.  It was great to see our friends again.  We were able to show our new juniors for the first time.  They did great under Scott Wiebensohn.  He was very complimentary.  He judged for our Holland Lop specialty show.  We showed 12 Hollands and 11 of them placed in the top 5.  We know we are on the right track when we do well under a judge who likes posed breeds.  Creme, our broken sable point buck, took BOS.  We did okay in the 2 all breed shows.  I think we have decided to attend a few less shows this year.  Then we can continue to focus on our breeding.  We are so thrilled with the results of focusing on breeding last year.  We want to continue to make those improvements.  Then we can share our Hollands with others.
