First time bringing Hollands to a show in a long time 🎉🎉

I’m pretty happy with this mother/daughter duo. Their bodies are definitely the direction I’m excited to see the breed go in the future. The senior doe happened to be in condition with a prime line, while the jr doe looks like she recently wandered through a car wash.

While it wasn’t my day on the tables with Hollands or Cals, Jackie Hambrick-Sutton for running a great show and bringing Scott in to judge!

Thank you Scott Rodriguez for keeping ARBA well and alive in District 1, and being a great judge to write for as we hustled a few hundred rabbits across the table as painlessly as possible.

I’m absolutely over the moon with how my 2022 ARBA National Convention went!

Thank you so much to the CRCS for hosting another well run convention, the judges for judging, and to each of the breed clubs for the beautiful awards.

With only 2 French Lop entries, I am extremely humbled to have brought home my very first Open Convention Best of Breed.

Additionally, I only brought 4 Californians to show and I’m humbled to have won 5th place Jr doe, 6th place Jr buck, and 1st place intermediate does. The overall quality of the cals were top notch with an excellent animal from each corner of the US, and I’m proud to be up there with the best of them as selected by two legendary judges.

With the Open Polish I’m most proud of bringing home 3rd place black sr doe in a deep class. While she did not eat until the drive home, I am happy to say she’s doing well, and retired to be a brood doe.

My show Holland entry ended up going off feed before the trek to Reno began, so she stayed home. I was shocked to have 2 in the top ten. Thank you to Chris Zemny for hosting yet another beautiful banquet. However the most exciting part of Hollands at convention was getting to watch Alysia win BOB Open Hollands!!!

Thank you to the mentors in my breeds and friends throughout the hobby to make my Convention 2022 something truly special. And most importantly, thank you Ashley for joining me on this adventure!

As I work on wrapping up my convention entries, I’d like to invite everyone to my au*ct.tion. I know it feels like everyone’s doing an au.ct*n these days, but like many others this year, I’ve felt overwhelmed by the interest in my herd.

I’m extremely honored to have so much interest in my animals. This platform streamlines the process of sharing my projects with those interested.

Included in this selection is a variety of Hollands, Polish, and Californians from my barn, and Mini Satins from Montana Sky Ranch.

Rabbits are entered in Convention under our names and will be transported, cooped and cared for throughout the week. We look forward to seeing everyone there!

Friends, enemies, and everyone else browsing the internet with nothing better to do,

I have started to go through my herd with a critical eye with the hopes of only wintering a few rabbits. Many of my favorites are looking for new barns. I will be continuing to update my list on my website to keep it as accurate as possible. (Emailing me at [email protected] is the best way to contact me if you have any questions)
💥 Hollands
💥 Cals
💥 Polish

Transport to Reno for Convention can be arranged!! 🚛

When people ask me how convention prep is going… how it started vs how it’s going

Hopefully my rabbits stay on the table at convention because this bu**er is getting fast 😂
Pro tip: let one of your rabbits jump off the table from you outside. You, too, can be in great shape by the time we’re strutting through the Atlantis to our banquets

Thank you Ashley Ball for consistently running the best show our valley has ever seen.

While it's been a strange spring with no Hollands to show from my barn (don't worry they're all just having babies), I had a great time with my other breeds!

I was honored to bring home two RIS with two different rabbits.

Diegel's Exposure Wheel - Californian Sr. Buck

Thank you to the judges who made the trek out here, and congratulations to the other winners. Winning RIS under Kathi with polish was truly a highlight of my breeding career, and one of the proudest moments I've had in the hobby. Thank you Kathi.

Our Story

Vince Lombardi said “Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.”

As a small and selective rabbitry nestled in the Flathead Valley in Northwestern Montana, I focus on producing top quality and nationally competitive Otter Holland Lops. Producing the perfect Holland Lop is the primary goal of countless rabbit breeders across the country and the world, myself included. As a breeder and enthusiast, perfection is a goal of mine as well.

As a breeder, I emphasize the well being of the rabbits, and their personalities. Then I prioritize their structural correctness, and finally their color. As a “color” Holland Lop breeder it is more difficult to produce a rabbit of equal quality, but I find the challenge a valid one, and hope to raise the entire quality of color Holland Lops as a whole.
