Such a big sale, yet didn't put a big dent in the dollars. Lol, at least it put a dent in bun numbers!

What happens when its 20s amd then 60s the next day? All the feed bags are WET. Dry inside, but dang slippery!

Tanya kits & Jessi kits out in the 5ft cage.

Freckles kits moved in with Gigi & kits.
Had to move RM14 over so the nest would fit easily on.

And Vickie kits moved in with Nana & kits.

What do you mean when you say,
"Freckles kits moved in with Gigi & kits." Do you put both Moms in the same cage with kits? or just the kits with one mom? If so why do you do this? Do they fight?

Sold some nursing moms, so two litters of kits needed new nursing moms.

Ugh, they're all terrible. One litter all are being culled, another 6 are being culled. One is pending sale. Might have 2 buyers for 2 does each later on from these and younger litters.


Moved 3 does from bottom cages up to middle or top cages, just to make it easier.

Moved Quin's kits to Yynx's nest. She's been very growly & jumpy the last week. Bred her fat arse after she lost most of her kits, so she's due a nest Wednesday. She was lunging at the kits today, so finally moved them out.

Bred Tipsy. Goliath thought about it, but ended up not interested enough. Ugh.

Aqua was bred to Rivian. Once yesterday and once today. He's back to being pretty lazy. Definitely going to sell him soon. Not worth the annoyance.

Moved another doe out of a bottom cage and to a middle cage.
First 1.5ft should be poo, lol. Just too low and dark down there...And bucks...

Winter kits are horribly lagging!
Absolutely abysmal...
So, so many culls. Should probably go ahead and do that asap. At this size, its 2-3 per dog.


Have mercy, such bad numbers...
Looks like I won't keep any from-
Zero
Yynx
Gigi

Can cull all from Jessi and use Goliath, keep kit from them. Same with Yynx.

Gotta check parent weights, Quin & Nana. If kits are worse, will cull whole litters.

Check Jasper to the Freckles kits. If he grew better, cull all.

Got most culled.

Left the biggest few to grow a few weeks longer, since parent weights are between 6wk and 7wk.

Then have some people interested in Vickie& Yynx kits, so left all of them.

What method do you use to cull them?

The excessively small ones, I tried the cup over neck method. As broomstick would be too messy. Worked well.
Rest broomstick, as they were large enough I was confident I could use just enough force without fully removing heads.

Grumpy kit.

Looks like another steeled blue otter was born, but out of Rexs.


Widy. Steeled blue otter 50/50.

The Quin kits n fosters in Yynx nest n kits. Dumped and refilled all of the nests after the pic.
4wks and still using nests. Winter is too cold for them to be out in the cage at 2-3wks old. Their nest was removed last night. Others tonight.

Got some does bred. Tried to get Ebony bred, willing, but Goliath is still not getting it. He tries and humps, doe lifts, but nothing. =( Hopefully, in the next few days he'll get it right.

14×Rivian
Gigi×Zippy
Nana×Gold

Then I realized that I've got too many bucks again...Rivian, Gold, Jasper, Baymax, Goliath, Hamlet & Zippy.

Sugar's kits and petting her, too.


Gigi. Wide shoulders. Bean shaped from top, she still doesn't like to pose. Just need her to raise decent kits, not duck egg sized culls....


Lynx kits


Cocoa kits



$492 in the red.
Plus two bun sales of 30 & 10 in dog food.

Currently $452 in the red.

Ella, first timer, had her kits!

This one was squeaking up a storm, mom came over. Picked it up, it peed on me, then went back to sleep. Lol

Quin had her kits!
10! One wee runt. Will move it to Ella's nest tomorrow.

$452 in the red. Plus 34 in bun sale and dogfood.

Currently $418 in the red.



Looks like I've got 7 bucks and 19 does. I feel like I need to narrow it down some...Thought I did, but apparently not enough! If I didn't bother with the SF projects, I could remove 5 adults. But they're fun...but I guess not great shapes to them? I'll have to look them over and decide.

Rex×Silver Fox mutt
To add size to Rex and add shape to SF.
Widy steeled opal, reg fur. On last chance to kit.
Ebony black otter, rex fur.
Xoh black reg fur. Has depth, but no shoulder. Thinking to sell/cull.
Ella blue reg fur.
Unity chocolate reg fur.

Lots to cull Monday/Tuesday night.
And little premie/runt didn't make it. Too tiny and weak. Rest are fed.

Should have a sale of 4 doe kits this week.


Ugh. Last two of this litter. Other buck was terrible. Don't have other Rusty offspring previously kept back. Wide shoulders seems to be the only gain in the black doe.


This blue doe. Unknown sire. No depth, but wide shoulders and smooth loin...ish. lol. Gotta check weight for the age, if other mutts have better weight, I pay cull this one. Though, if Widy fails to kit, guess this one can replace her.



Might have buyers for the culls I need to get done tomorrow. But as part capes shipped out. Rest used as dog food.

Thank you for all the photos . I like to see what people are referring to as it helps me learn.

Along with the 4 buns, there should be a 1 bun sale, 10 manure bag sale and a 33 bag sale this week.
