Ground Breaking!

Yesterday was the day we broke ground on the new rabbit barn. :-) Its going to be a 10ft by 12ft barn with a gable vent and 2 on each side 3ft by 6ft vent running the sides for good air movement. This will give the rabbits a nice view of the outdoors and the flower beds that are going around the outside of the barn.
We started the holes yesterday but it started to rain and the other half had hit a root with the post hole digger and said "I'm done for know lets take a break". So hoping to have it all done today if everything goes well. I will have to take pics as it coming along.

NARBC 2008-2009 Sweep year

NARBC sweet year has ended and know its time to start all over again. I thought I did really well for getting my feet wet back into showing English Angoras.
I was 12th place in the country with 1041.5 points in English Angoras and English wool I was 6th place with 88 points. That isn't bad at all for not showing very much. The rabbits have 13 BOB, 10 BOS and 2 Best In Shows for season 2008-2009. I don't know how mant GC I have to turn in and BIS I need to turn in.
They have done me well lets see if we can top it for next year. The New sweep year has started! Also right know i'm in the MSRBA club i'm ranked 23rd place in all breed points trying to beat my rank last year of 25th place, it doesn't end til out fall Convention in December. It can be hard when you don't have very many people to show with.

Thought I would post the rest pics of the bunnies. 1st is a little Star Buck's( yet to be named) (black tort) jr buck colored. I thought he was going to be super long in type but has he done a change on me to a really nice short little guy. I think he is going to have some really nice wool coming in. Sir: Countryside Magnum x Shepherd's TigerLily. 2nd Is Star Buck's Louis Armstrong Blue Jr colored buck that I kept back. First of I would like to say this isn't a color that I would keep.

Sir: Countryside Magnum x Silvertone Dominique. 3rd is Star Buck's ( yet to be named) Jr( Black tort) colored doe.
