Priceless Farms Caviary

It was a fun, if not hot, and steamy show this afternoon with the Friendly Rabbit Club in Galesville WI. I was so hot I forgot to pick up my placement prizes

We had some nice placements, and I was most pleased with a lot of positive comments. Work in TSW in any breed is a very challenging endeavor, but add thwt to Aby or Teddy it seems even harder to get a good one. I am so pleased about how the programs are turning out.

I especially enjoy my travel partner and good friend, Rachel Boucher who makes my trips and shows so much more interesting.

Show A was Judge Todd Naragon: Best in Show was Kevin Brown with a Int Dalmatian sow. Reserve in Show was Shannon Heinritz with a Broken Teddy (i covet this teddy) Honorable Mention was Rachel Boucher Pink Eye Cream American sow.

Show B with Zach Sauer: Best in Show was Shannon Heinritz Broken Teddy, 1st Reserve was Jennifer Langreck White American. 2nd Reserve was Rachel Boucher Pink Eye Cream American Sow.

We had 2 Best of Breed Abyssinian with Pig Squeeks Show The World aka: Gusto. Bred by Dawn Gallagher So many great comments by both judges on his clarity of patching and distribution.

Priceless Farms In a Pickle Aka: Gherkin was Best Junior of Breed 2x. Again, I received excellent comments on the TSW clarity of patching, and she has a very promising coat. She lacks in white but makes up for the patching definition.

Also wanted to give some love to Ploeger Farms Merida. With such a fast moving, humid, and hot show, the longhaired exhibitors dont get a long time to primp and display the coats. She was beat out by a far better, but older male. By age, she's only an Intermediate. But by weight, she's 2 oz over Senior weight. Which means she doesn't have a senior coat yet. We will just keep plugging on and see where her coat takes us.

Our second cutie patootie is

Far Far Away Circus Time aka: Boscov a Beige/REO/White Broken Satin American boar. Only just born in May, this boy is BIG for a Satin. Heavy bone, just a tank of a pig. Got a little carrot belly going, lol. Im very excited to use him and show him for my Dilute American program. Thank you Brie. He will be fun.

We have two cuties coming up from Florida as well.

Far Far Away Let's Hang aka: Monkey is a Black Dalmatian American boar. From Brie Wieland in Florida. Cutie has a few spots but a nice-looking little guy for my Dal project. Can't wait to get this going again with spots.

We have a few new additions thanks to an amazing transporter, Colleen Wagner. She's always reliable, clean, and on time.

Round Hill Gregariously Mine Aka: Greg. Greg is a Silver Agouti/White Broken Silkie boar. Comes from Chandre Aldo with Round Hill Cavies in Virginia. We are very pleased with our talker. I love Silver agouti, and this guy already has a nice coat going. We will try to coat him as best I can. I seem to be doing ok with my Peruvian. I wish my daughter, Di would coat again.

I normally post these PSA, when things like this occur. If you think it's directed at you. You may want to think about it harder. If you do not do this, you are fine.

Impulse purchases and inquiries!

This is why I do not take a waiting list for newborns.

1. I, as the breeder, get first pick. The end. I breed with show animals as my end goal.

2. It takes 4 weeks to wean a baby. Most people looking for pets can not, for some odd reason, wait this long.

3. Pups die. They can be born perfectly healthy, and then !p**f! Be dead the next day. I do not hold for purchase, un-weaned pups. They also get bopped with the Sex-change Fairy wand sometimes. Yes sadly, this happens. It is not an exact science when trying to scrutinize the reproductive parts of a hours old 3 to 5 oz peanut sized animal. 🔎🪄

4. Back outs are a norm for me. Without deposits, I can't hold people to their word. They can be so convincing via chat, using terms like "my heart pig," "I need this so much" " its exactly what I wanted for years." Then time to pay and pick up... ghost💨 👻

So keep in mind if you are window shopping pages, dont do this to breeders, rescues, or anyone. Inquire if you are 60% to 90% sure you want to buy.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Frontline Goobs (Lilac/Reo mismark Aby) had her maiden litter this morning. It was a bit of a surprise as I just confirmed pregnancy last night. She carries babies well I guess.

KD Transport is coming through in July. Look at green states and direction of arrow. I've used KD in the past with good results. Babies can hope on this if anyone is intrested. Starts and ends in Arkansas

Priceless Farms Ghita is going to stay back as a TSW brood sow. She's not got the same head and shoulder as her brother Gaius. Her patching is a bit intermingled, too. But I do love her size.
