Decided to pull out some older 🐰 favorites.
Lisa and Snickers did great.
Poor Slate is molting SO BAD.
And Flo…she needs to be bred asap 😜

15/08/2024

Decided to wait a bit longer on growing out our Compound’s mini lops. Picking who stays and who goes is such a hard decision when you breed for the right reasons. 💕
Same when we have a litter of lab puppies. Get attached.

I’ll know more in the coming weeks of who will be available. I will reach out to those who I’ve spoken/messaged soon.

Some pictures of this litter, wish I took pictures of all of them. Most are shedding baby fur 🥰
NFS at this time.

We have some avail*ble mini lops.

Growing out a few but not keeping them all.

Thank you 😊 Amy and Kristine (compounds mini’s) for Tasman! She is a great mom and her kits are all so incredibly friendly! Already have a few “keepers 😂”

Sneak peek. 😉

24/06/2024

We had 3 lionheads born the other day. 💙
Sadly one is a “peanut” and will not make it.
The other 2 are thriving and growing beautifully.
As a breeder there is always the good the bad and the sad. 😞
I will post more about these two babies as they continue to develop

Rough life having a bunny farm for this kid 😝

Well I completely forgot to post our show results from the Rabbit Breeders of the Capital district show in Fonda NY from April 17th!

Thank you to judge Dana Bramble for awarding PP Snowflake (pending GC) BOB for Open show A
And GC PP French Fry BOS!

Thank you judge Corey Hayes for recognizing PP Snowflake BOB for Open show B
And PP Gram for BOS!

We appreciate everyone who put on this amazing show! We even got to see some barrel racing in another building! So much fun.

The 6 “grow outs” 🤦🏼‍♀️
I’ve never kept so many from one litter but am going to grow them all out to see how they turn out.

Names by default because of the 🍺 😝
So we have Corona, Enchilada, chimichanga, Dos Equis, tamales and Modelo.

Remember the rabbit that I shaved? 🤦🏼‍♀️

The one that was neglected and had the horrible matting…
Well voila! 💗😝🤣

1-Just wish he wasn’t neutered (because he’s amazing)
2- Yes 🤦🏼‍♀️ I sold him as a pet (IYKYK)
3- I think he may have suffered a stroke the one really hot day we had. Hence the crooked smile. 🤷‍♀️
(Looking into this more as he is perfectly healthy otherwise)

This amazing boy may be looking for a special 🏡 🤞
Thank you for everyone who supports our Rabbitry! We appreciate it 💜

52 Breeds??? Breed ID
How to identify each one and learning the variety names.
My name is Katie Kirk and I have been raising rabbits for 14 years. I have been a member of the ARBA, ADRC, OSDRC for 16 years. I have raised Dutch primarily focusing on grays; but also blacks, chocolates, and steels. I have recently started raising chestnut and black otter Netherland Dwarfs. In 2017, I received my Registrar’s license. As a youth, I competed in royalty at OSRBA Mini Convention, National Dutch Show, and ARBA Convention several times. These contests helped with building study routines, networking, and teamwork. I also took on leadership positions throughout my youth such as President of OSRBA Youth Team, Youth Director of ADRC and OSRDC, and Youth D8 Director. These competitions and leadership positions helped prepare me for college and life after college. I recently finished my college degrees in Biology and Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, I took a break from rabbits during my college career to focus on my studies. I recently started my full-time job at Jones Lake Management and started my herd again this past September.
