Rocky Mountain Montana Rabbitry had a great weekend in Reno. No big wins, but all home bred dwarf have been in the top ten or even a few that took top 5. Some tough competetition. Otter Sr bucks, all home bred, all top 20 out of 88 sr bucks, with one in top 15 and another younger sr otter buck just starting his career in the top 10, homebred jr Otter buck RMMR's Next Edition, first time on table, took 6th place out of 38, against some really nice jr' , His dad, also home bred, has been a huge winner in shows, look forward to this little guy maturing and showing. Home bred Silver marten sr buck top 5 with a 4th place finish, home bred blue silver marten doe, first time on table, 4th place. Broken also did well on table with a lot of really tough competition. Home bred RMMR's Petite Le'Fluer took 3rd place sr doe out of 26 really nice sr does, she will be starting her new life in China. RMMR's Stickers, who just recently came back to the barn after almost 2 year hiatis back east with Bond's, was in the top 20 with a 16th , Brittany Rutters BRM2 Broken sr buck, just recently aquired, took 9th place out of 21 sr. Its always nice to win a class or variety, but we put a lot of hard work into producing animals that will have longevity and performance. To be in the top 5, top 10, or top 20 with the huge numbers and caliber of animals shown is not small feat, but a great accomplishment. When your HOME BRED stuff compete's on this level and holds their own, its a fantastic feeling. Makes the blood sweat and tears and time/years feel like a great accomplishment. There are some great breeders that I pester for infomation at times. Some great breeders that are on my animals pedigree's way back that creat a great foundation of an animal that wins/compete's, goes on to produce, and their progeny keep producing and winning. Congratulations to all my friends showing and their accomplishments and wins this week.
