We’re a few days late, but HAPPY NEW YEAR! We hope you had blessed holidays. In the busy-ness of three birthdays the same week as Christmas I needed to set some of the “balls” down, and social media was one of them!

Our county stockshow is next week, but we are already planning our breedings for NEXT years Satins for stockshows. We will likely breed less Satins this year as Reba leans into her English Lops and the girls grow their 4-Class herds. That said, if you’re going to want Satins from us that are born in 2025, we recommend letting us know sooner rather than later so we can plan accordingly. Also, be on the lookout for proven breeders that are ready to leave our barn, and feel free to message us if there’s something specific you’re looking for.

The R&D Committee is excited to support and promote an important survey focused on the rabbit industry. This study is being conducted by Jacob Lansing, an undergraduate student in Ohio State’s Animal Science Department.

The survey has received approval at both the board and committee levels. We encourage all members to participate in the survey and share it widely within the community. We look forward to future collaboration with the research team and hope to include the results in the DR for dissemination of the data to the membership.

Tonight was the very first Randall County PeeWee Rabbit Contest! We are so grateful to the parents who made it happen, HF&C Feeds Amarillo for sponsoring prizes, and the older exhibitors who helped out.

The contest consisted of Showmanship, Breed ID, Quiz & Poster contests. Randall Co. Senior exhibitors helped by grading the little ones, and it was really special to watch them work together.

Our Alysen earned Reserve Grand Champion and each contestant walked away with a gift bag of goodies and study materials.

This was such a special event to be a part of, may it continue for decades to come!

This year the E-Lops are here, too!

Oh, the years we spent praying for what we have now!

December 26 we will be traveling from the Amarillo area to the Uvalde area. See pinned posts for our availability. We could potentially make arrangements for a few others needing a ride as well.

Shiny two day old tortoise Mini Satins

We will need to clear out some cage space again, soon! If there’s something you’re looking for, send us a message and we’ll see what we can do.

Disclaimer before the trolls find us: nothing leaves our barn under 8 weeks old. We prefer for them to be much older than that, so we can keep an eye on their quality as it develops.

We’ve had 2 litters of Satins & 3 litters of Mini Satins born this week.
Next week we’re expecting a litter of Himalayans & 3 litters of Dutch.

First time tort Mini Satin Momma, HT Morning Glory made a FABULOUS nest three days in advance then proceeded to pull more and more fur once she delivered her 7 tort babies sired by J&Cs Ozzy. We are so very proud of her! The rest were experienced Mommas that thankfully all did amazing jobs once again!

Isn’t it so fun to learn which does nest well in advance and which ones nest the hour of?

The Chinchilla Mini Satins are six weeks old now and making us even more anxious to get to spring show season. They’ve got lots of growing and practicing to do but Reba sees lots of potential!

Do we have any localish friends traveling to the Missouri State Convention that a Satin could hitch a ride to a new home with?

🌟 AVAILABLE 🌟

HT MYSTIK • Himalayan-Blue •Satin • Doe
DOB 3/4/24 • Current Weight 8lbs 4oz

Mystik has never been bred. I had plans to pair her with a large blue buck this spring, but looking at cage space, it’s apparent I’m going to have to let go of this variety. She is the last of the Himalayan Satins. She has a very docile personality and enjoys sitting in my lap while I drink my coffee. We would not hesitate to recommend her for a kid, as long as they’re strong enough to handle a rabbit this size. She is out of a blue doe x white buck pairing.

Bunny snuggles make for the perfect start to the week!
