I feel like I have not posted anything in forever so I thought I would give an update on things. We have been incredibly busy with "life " the husband and I had to be away from the farm for 10 days to care for a family member for which my mom and the boys manned the farm while we were gone and I am forever grateful to them for that it was brutally cold while we were gone and it was a lot of hard work but they did amazing !

Prior to all of this we had to make a switch in feed our feed we had been on for quite some time something changed in the mill and we got several bad batches of feed that affected the rabbits greatly we are not happy about this but it is what it is we have changed back to Big V the rabbits have made a great comeback yes we lost a bunch along the way could not be helped but things are back on track there it has set us back some on grow outs but all the does are bred back and we hope for better outcomes this next time

We do have a lot that were not really affected and are growing out nicely I was able to go through about half of them the other day I am pleased with how they look there will be some good additions to the show string this year I think ..I do have a bunch going to freezer camp tomorrow so that will lighten the cages a bit also

John has some nice Rexes that are now 3 mo old some will stay and a few we may offer up as well so we will see. Mini Rexes we have a few left the rest have all found new homes I will try to get them posted this week and we have lots of new babies in the box some tris I am
Super excited about as well. We have a lot of young 3 week NZ babies that are looking great we are super excited about a couple of these litters.

Anyway we have a lot to do to catch up we are slowly getting there the cold weather hasn't helped but looks like we have a few warm days ahead so we are gonna make good of that ! Hope everyone is doing well and I will be back to posting farm updates now just had a lot going on at one time

Just wanted to let everyone know that we have been busy with some family things going on right now. We are out of pocket for just a bit longer. Thank goodness for my mom and our boys for taking care of the farm I know it's been brutally cold and it's been hard but they have done a great job. Little bit longer and we will be back to the farm

Glad to see the sun today hoping it will melt some of this. As you can see we have a path to the barn and around some of the chicken pens too lol 8- 10" of snow is hard to walk in !

Elektra finally kindled today !! She gave us 10 beautiful NZ kits brokens and blacks She was bred to Ace one of our broken bucks. Between her and her sister they gave us 21 NZ kits ! I was hoping she would have had a smaller litter so I could foster some of her sisters to her but that didn't work so I am hoping Star has a small litter but we will see

Storm finally had her babies last night she gave us 11!! I am hoping Star or her sister Elektra kindle today and have a small litter so we can foster over a few of these but so far they are all fat and doing well.

We got a little snow lol probably the most snow we have seen in a while. It's definitely a work out to get to the barn and back

Not sure what's holding the rest of the does from having babies but Harper had a litter of 8 this morning while I was doing chores 8!! That's huge for a mini Rex doe lol. I just went out to check everyone and counted hers I didn't disturb them this morning. I checked all the other litters in boxes everyone is warm and doing fine. We don't have a lot still in boxes most everything is 3-4 weeks or 12-14 weeks old but there are 4 does due now the ones I am checking relentlessly lol we got a little snow too and it's still coming down

Drinking my morning motivation getting ready to start our day. We are on baby watch for a few does. Elektra and Storm being 2 of them. These were two of our show does so this is their first time I have been out every couple hours through the night to check on them this morning Storm has a little fur in her box so I will keep checking on her quite often

Hope you all stay warm and safe looks like in our area we are under a winter storm supposed to get snow later today and tomorrow

After being outside literally all day feeding and watering and doing a few things that needed to be done in the rabbit barns I got to sit down until night chores. The husband had to go take care of our cows today and kids are in school so just me today. Winter time is rough for farmers and hobby farmers like us animals have to have water and feed to stay warm and hydrated to deal with the cold , bedding to stay warm if they need it that all depends on us also making sure baby checks get done we have several does due right now. Unfortunately we lost one litter this morning this was my fault first time mom I saw she was starting to pull fur this morning but by the time I got back to the barn to check her after feeding and watering everyone else the babies were not in the fur and cold I attempted to revive but to no avail I will be checking the other does every few hours now this doe made a beautiful nest and she tried but nature was against her today.

Pups are enjoying some cuddles while I am inside for a bit

Major advantage of the flat water hoses you can thaw them out in your sink this is 50ft of hose that we use at the rabbit barn we have a water hydrant there so we don't have to bucket water. These are the best water hoses we have found they don't get tangled up kinked off and even though we drained them last night there were still frozen spots in them so I just brought them to the house filled the sink with hot water and let them thaw out. Super easy !

Hope everyone is staying warm looks like we have more winter weather coming our way !

Nothing like last minute but huge thanks to my husband and with a little help from me and John we got the rabbit barn tarped up for the winter. We do not have anything fancy for a rabbit barn it is a lean to off of our shop that houses all the brood does it has worked well for us for many years. I would like to someday expand to add some more cages but for now we make do. It is open during the summer which provides plenty of air movement for them and in the winter we just put tarps up to block the wind. Not to concerned with trying to keep them warm rabbits love cold weather but I am happy to report that now during the day it's 40 in there that will drop as the day goes along through the night but last night the waters were not frozen solid and it was very cold last night. Young babies were out of the box this morning exploring very young litters are all doing well tucked in their nest boxes and we have 6 does due this week so their boxes got put out this morning.

Just a little example of our set up and how we house our rabbits. I might add the show rabbits and bucks are housed separately we turned our 2 car garage in to an area for them. It is not heated by no means although it is a bit warmer since it's next to the house it has to get pretty cold for their waters to freeze

Hope everyone is staying warm it's still pretty cold out there right now !

I didn't even know these were out yet and was totally shocked when I saw it. This was the first year we have shown any of our blacks and to be #2 already we are beyond happy. We have worked really hard to get here I can assure you. Our brokens and our blues have held their own as well. We still have some more work to do but for right now we couldn't be more happy. Looking forward to the rest of show season coming up !

Raising animals is not always easy and with great success comes loss along the way. This one hurts a bit for us. Lucky was the first rabbit along with his sister Felicity that we started are show journey with. I started showing them a few times and then when John decided he wanted to show so they shifted over to him. He was the first buck we ever raised to show from our original lines he went on and got enough legs to register and Grand we retired him from showing and used him to breed with some. By far the sweetest buck in the barn always wanting pets and attention We do have a son out of him we kept back and we of course still have his sister Felicity as well.

RIP Lucky Strike you will be missed greatly !

I have been waiting for the Rex World magazine to get here because I had heard through the grapevine that John had done well for the Sweepstakes last year. It finally came and we are so proud of him! He was 10th overall Youth and then placed 4th with his Blacks and 4th with his whites and 10th overall with his brokens. There is a lot of tough competition among the youth Rex breeders same as most breeds but for his first year we are thrilled and so is he. Big thank you to Ron Reaves with Ross Road / RR Rabbitry for getting him started with his breeding stock and mentoring him with the Rexes along the way we are excited to see what this next year holds
