New Year, New Beginnings

2011 is officially here, and I am so excited to announce that a pair of Black English Spots will be joining the herd on January 16th. A senior pair, buck and doe, both showably marked and proven producers. After losing my entire Jersey Wooly herd a few months ago, things have been rough and I've been waiting for a while to start my herd again.

No Jersey Woolies are definitely coming in as of yet, but that's just because I haven't made any definite purchase agreements, just have a few bunnies lined up to take a look at in Westbrook on the 16th, and will be making my Wooly decisions from there.

There may also be a new breed joining the farm as well. Woolies are here for good, they are my main breed, my heart breed. Spots are here for a fun side project and promotion, and I am debating on a production meat breed for personal benefit. If everything pans out, and the right breeders attend the show, I will be taking a look at some Creme D'Argents. I was thinking about Satins again, but with the colors available being my favorites, I know I would get attached based on color and would have a hard time letting them go to my dinner table. If the Creme's are a no show, then I have Mini Satins lined up on the back burner.

I will update everyone on the 16th when I return home with the new additions!
