HL05 - Hairy Loppers Bye Felicia

Felicia, our little sweet heart. Never has a sweeter doe lived then Felicia. Boy did she just nearly hang on for the top 10. She only showed that fall of 2020 and actually had a litter. That litter is doing great things too. That litter really took a lot out of Felicia as she was such a good mom. Not sure if she will have another litter but she is definitely looking more like herself.

HL15- The Situation

This doe almost never made it to the show table. I never liked any of this litter. But boy she sure turned out pretty. She is one that has told Lemiuex it has to be a little warmer for her to lift. Can't wait to see that litter

#4 Top Lop

HL01 - Hairy Loppers Lemiuex- love this buck. Most of his points came from the fall show season. I was really surprised he hung on for #4. But this buck is stunning. He is anxiously waiting for the weather to get a little warmer and the does to be on the mood , because he is ready now!

As articles are being written for the Lop Digest for the 2020-2021 Top Lops , I have to reflect on what an awesome year it was for Hairy Loppers Rabbitry . 3 in the Top ten , and a total of 5 in the top 15. We will probably never have another year like this , but every moment of this was never taken for granted. .

What an awesome Convention. Just actually settling down to look at reports of how the rabbits finished. 16 English went and only 3 NP ( pretty much knew that would happen with those 3). 1 was DQ ( wrong class). Hairy Loppers has gone through some changes this year. With Christopher working so much Casey has really stepped up with every aspect of taking care of the English. Casey has been a huge savior in keeping everything running smoothly. So Hairy Loppers has become a family run Rabbitry ( as it's only fair to give credit where it's due).

Placings:

Christopher:
HL01 3/22
HL02 10/21
HL04 10/19
HL21 DQ ( wrong class, entered as 6/8. Bumped up to
Sr thinking he would gain too much weight.
Oh well lesson learned. Never over think)
HL20 9/21
HL22 8/23
441FL 15/19
HL25 N/P
HL28 N/P
HL27 NP
HL24 8/37

Amanda:
HL33 6/47

Casey ( youth)

HL23 1/2
HL10 3/7
HL30 1/8 BOV
HL29 4/5

* Judge told Chris that HL30 would of been Best in Breed if he was just a little older. He just turned 4 months the day of the show. So we are super proud of him anyways.

Casey also did really well with the JW
SD 4/16
AN 1/11 BOG
SJ 14/15

Not our win but definitely worth the note. Multiple class winners and BOS in open where sired by HL01 or HL04. Thank you Jennifer Burr for the shout out

HL02 Hairy Loppers Messier ( pronounced like Messy A) Sister to Lemiuex. This doe was to die for. Her career was all last fall with a single Best of Breed and 3 Best Opposite s*x. She has hung on in the top lops standing as #10 but I think some rabbits have knocked her out at this point. One of them being The Situation. Messier had a litter this spring. Fingers crossed. ( Picture to follow)

HL01 Hairy Loppers Lemiuex. What an amazing buck he is. The ear on this buck ( as well as his brother and sister) is what most Breeders hope for. Lemiuex ended up with 5 Best of Breed and 2 Best Opposite of s*x. Lemiuex is semi retired at this point and enjoys his duties of breeding does. ( Picture to follow)

HL15 Hairy Loppers The Situation ( mom is a Jersey Shore fan) . This doe is still a 6/8. She finished up the show season with 4 Best of Breeds and 6 best Opposite s*x. Fingers crossed I think she will finish in the top 10 English lops. Sitch is out of a breeding to Eden's Carthage x Hairy Loppers Nacho Frosty.

Have done a really bad job at updating the actual Rabbitry page this show season so I am going to post some outstanding rabbits that I have put on tables this year. Hairy Loppers could not of asked for a better first year showing in open. Fingers crossed some of the kits in the litters here will be just a fraction of the show team this sweepstakes season.

Hairy Loppers Rabbitry took a “ quick" trip to Ohio this weekend to the Stark County Rabbit Show. In the first show under Al Gearheart Hairy Loppers Bye Felicia was awarded Best of variety of solids and Hairy Loppers Lemiuex got best Opposite of variety. In the second show under Stacey Martin, Hairy Loppers HL07( he doesn't have a name) won Best Opposite s*x. I was actually very impressed with my solid Sr bucks that finished 1,2,3 and 4 in a very deep class of nice bucks. The best part was enjoying the day with friends and spring is in the air. The does are finally interested again! Yay!!!!

Awards for my last year showing in youth. Second place over all. I had 2 in the Top Lop Standings as well. Beaker ended up #7 and Carthage was #10. Carthage has out produced himself at this point but will always call my barn home.

First year competing in Open..I am extremely grateful we had some shows to attend. I'm sure by the end of the sweepstakes year things will change ,but for now I can take this screenshot to remember this by.

ARBA Convention from Indy. Hairy Loppers Fozzy Bear won the solid Jr Buck class. Fozzy was just one of the many Grand Champions to come from Gonzo

A Line Up of Does that battled it out all Summer and Fall for top pick in class.

FMN139 Forget Me Not Gonzo. Many of my show animals can be traced back to this animal. Gonzo was purchased from Dana Pleashe whom was very gracious when I bought more stock later on. Gonzo was in the Top Lop Standings for 2 years and has produced such quality animals it would be wrong not to recognize this animal
