Brooklynn has some Brood Netherland dwarfs ready for a new adventure. She’s getting out of shaded for now.
1) Unrelated trio of Himis 2 does and a buck. Can go together or separate. 1 doe from Dynamite Dwarfs Silvia Durant line, 1 doe from Champion and Rubys Gems lines, 1 buck from Kotten Tails and Simons line.
2) chestnut doe with eye injury has one leg but poked her eye and has a cataract now so unshowable. Out of Simons lines.
3) poor colored smoke pearl buck. Beautiful guy. Out of Ruby Gems and Champion lines.
4) 2 littermate chocolate doe BUDS out of Laura and Ruth and Hopper lines.
5) Blue otter buck beautiful head and ears but don’t like his top line. If you need head and ears he’s your guy, he is a good front end parts rabbit. Out of Sullivan’s and Hopper lines. Dam is Sullivan’s BHY1 Chicago Style Pizza, Chicago won Best in Show 2022 KS state fair, 2022 KS state convention and several other Best in Shows.

Will get pictures soon. Been working on convention and fall cleaning haven’t been able to get them yet. Can bring to KSRBA this weekend or ARBA convention for pick up. Off site housing available.

Blue otter Buck is on temp hold till Sunday.

Brooklynn’s young bantam Cochin rooster Henry the 8th, who won Best in Show at the Shawnee county fair 2024. Made the trip to Hutchinson for the Kansas state fair poultry show. I entered her in open by mistake and was pleasantly suprised to learn that he won a purple ribbon and 1st place bantam young rooster Cochin. He is such a handsome young man. We can not wait to see little baby Henry and Katherine of Argon chicks soon.

4-H/FFA week at the Kansas State fair 2024
Weather was warmer but the rabbits stayed cool. We all had a great time especially Brooklynn who absolutely loves being at the state fair and showing her rabbits to all who want to get an up close and personal rabbit experience. Her and the Quinn family always have rabbits out for people to touch and learn. This year she was unable to bring one of her favorite big breeds the French lop and they were molting horribly. She loves taking a French lop to show others as they are big balls of lazy fluffiness and people get excited to see how calm and sweet the bigger breeds can be.
She brought 3 breeds this week and recived Best of Breed and Best opposite of Breed in 2, and Best of Breed in 1.

She was also blessed with a cow hide purse given to her by Nakol and she hasn’t taken it off since.

Side note: I am so impressed with how well she’s able to ground using the fringe on the purse. Anytime she started to get anxious or nervous or overly excited I’d see her stroking the fringe and settling her soul. Thank you Nakol you’re an Angel, and we love you so much.

So I’m predicting her new rabbit show attire will be her signature PenPal hoodie/shirt and cow hide purse holding her “scampers” Bryer model horse she adores so much.

Thank you to all who put on the show, the judges and commentators takers, the runners and everyone who watered and fed the animals all week. Brooklynn was happy to help run and care for all the rabbits while we were there. It was nice to see her feel comfortable enough to help without being asked. She’s growing leaps and bounds.

The rabbits and Brooklynn were worn out by the time pictures were taken. They are all happy to be home resting.

Open week at the Kansas state Fair 2024 was a very fun and relaxing. Brooklynn had a blast helping others learn about her rabbits and letting them hold and pet them. She amazed us all at how well she held up. She was a runner (bringing others rabbits to the show table and back off) she helped feed and water all 900 rabbits that were in coops all weekend. Got to visit one of her favorite people Nakol and eat street corn and drink the best ice cold root beer. Her absolute favorite thing to eat at the fair. Thank you to all who put on the show and cared for everyone’s rabbits for the entirety of the state fair. Thank you to Shawn and Brian for judging and giving great feedback back, good or bad it’s always great learning advice.
Kansas State Fair Open Youth Show 2024
Brooklynn brought 4 breeds and recived Best of Breed and Best opposite Breed in 3 and Best of Breed in 1 as (she only brought one animal in that breed).
Later Her Havana went on to win 2nd reserve in show with a very special little doe with a very special story of survival.
Proudest moment are the ones where she knows how hard she worked and how hard she knows her rabbit worked.

Bit of a proud momma/Daddy brag post here….

Brooklynn is going through her rabbits trying to make room for next months breedings.
She gifted a friend a couple bucks (boys) and has been working on getting them table ready. (Show ready)
Here is a perfect representation of patients and care.
The two pictures are of the same animal 2 months apart.
Now this guy has been a “mug only a momma could love” kinda guy for awhile. But erlier this week Brooklynn got him out and we took pictures. I also want to point out, I have not been as big a presence as I use to be in her rabbitry, so this is 💯 percent her caring. She has been working him for a few weeks getting him ready for his new home. Doing all the preventative maintenance and care on her own. To say I was impressed is an understatement. I’m shocked at the transformation this buck has achieved. She is so excited to get him to her friend and praying he does well for him.
He’s so sweet, an extra bonus.
Now to make his pedigree and get his bags packed!
So in love with this guys outcome.

July 26,2024 Shawnee County 4-H FFA fair.
Brooklynn’s chickens did pretty great at the poultry show.
Her young Bantam Cochin Rooster Henry VII the 8th won Best Bantam and Best in Show. He’s such a handsome young man but not lovable like Jon Snow was. We still love him and treat him like the royalty he is. His wife Catherine of Aragon decided to molt so she got a blue ribbon, but she sure is a looker.
Brooklynn’s sweetheart baby a very young Brahma rooster named spotter recived a purple and was deeply considered for best large foul, came along with his bonded buddy, Princess Sofia a baby Pekin. They are 3 and 4 months old and are inseparable. In fact after the show Brooklynn put Spotter in with Sofia because they were separated for a day and sad. Who would have thought a Rooster and a duck would be inseparable 😝
Pumpkin the snowy call duck won Best water foul second year in a row. Don’t let the size fool you. She runs the yard and plows over the geese. She’s the Queen of Ruby’s Gems poultry edition 😂 congratulations to all the other exhibitors. We all had a great time. Thank you to the Judge Cherie? And the poultry superintendant Chris for all the hard work you put into the poultry department.

July 28th 2024. Johnson county ARBA sanctioned Open/Youth fair show. Brooklynn’s rabbit were honored to win Reserve in Show and Second reserve in show. It was just her and Dad for the day. I went to Topeka to pick up her animals from the Shawnee fair and made it to the show just in time to watch them be chosen. It was a pretty fun week.

Reserve in Show Ruby’s Gem’s Valid Havana and 2nd Reserve in show with Team Oklahoma Florida White Cinnamon Apple.

July 26,2024 Brooklynn entered her 6th year showing at the Shawnee County 4-H/FFA Fair in Topeka Ks. Where her rabbit Azula a homegrown Havana won Best in Show and Best fur, also winning 2nd Reserve in Show with her Team Oklahoma’s Mischife Thriller. A beautiful Florida white breed by Bridgett Armstrong. Grand champion Meat pen.
It was definitely the smallest fair at Shawnee county she’s been apart of. But she still had fun 🤩
She also won Best in Show Poultry with her bantam Cochin Henry the VII (8th) but that’s another story we’ll tell another time.
Thank you to all for putting on the show, the awards and the great time.
Thank you to our Judge Chelsea Landzettle

Netherland dwarfs ready for brood or pet futures. Topeka KS area will work with transport.

First two pictures are a seal buck not showable color but he’s got a great type nice head and ears and very sweet. Would make a great pet or shaded herd buck. We love this buck so much and hate to send him off but daughter needs cage space.

Second rabbit in picture 3 is a smoke pearl buck. He’s molting and needs to grow out his new one.

Third rabbit in picture 4 is a lilac buck Rodger is very sweet and lovable. He is a recognized variety but has silvering so he’s not recommended as a show rabbit but produced nice colored lilac kits.

Fourth rabbit in picture 5 and 6 is a brood quality seal doe. Unrelated to buck. She’s big 3lbs would be a great pet or shaded brood doe.

Not pictured
is a black otter buck he’s over weight and not able to be shown. He’s got a great head and ears and would make a very nice herd buck or pet. He is also in heavy molt but has a beautiful coat when it comes in.

Himi buck not showable due to weight. He is also in heavy molt very active and friendly.

Brooklynn ventured out to the Cass County Fair youth show lastnight in Pleasantville MO. We all had so much fun. It was very relaxing and enjoyable and the topper was when her Havana was picked as Reserve in Show, winning a stool. Congratulations to Chase for his Best In Show win with his beautiful black mini Rex. Thank you Gaby Marlow, Becky Marlo, Janie Elliot and everyone else who helped put together and run the show. A big thank you to the Judge Gene Gelipsie for selecting Brooklynn’s Havana. This little Doe has been very special to Brooklynn for many reasons. But most importantly she had to work extreamly hard to keep this litter of 3 alive. Mom had a tendency to over clean and so she shelved the litter twice a day and table fed on top of all her daily chorse and school work. She was determined and so was this little girl who fought to stay alive and now look at her. She’s the sweetest doe and most natural poser Brooklynn’s ever raised.
Thank you everyone for your kind words and encouragement.

Side note. Brooklynn brought her Breyer horse scampers and he wanted to be the first to sit on the hew trophy lol her felt bunny Ruby was injured by the dog Ruby so she hasn’t been able to accompany Brooklynn until we can get her repaired by Cloey (I’m terrible at spelling names)

Never give up Not dead till it’s warm and dead Welcome back to the world little one 🐰

Ruby’s Gem’s Welcomes a very anticipated litter. Welcome to the world little ones 🐰 ***WARNING LIVE BIRTH, BLOOD, AND PLACENTA REMOVAL (EATING)*** Coolest thing to EVER happen in a rabbitry is to catch a doe kindeling. (Giving birth) but to actually beable to record the whole thing is just incredible. That happened here today it’s 7 minutes long but worth the watch. These rabbits love and trust us and it shows by how trusting they are to allow us to watch them birth. This is the 5th doe that has allowed us to be present during the kindeling process but the first time we had a chance to record it. Thank you Gammy the Netherland dwarf, for your trust and now your ability to educate others on Kindeling and viewing seconds old Kits (baby’s)
