Hmm, compact, but he should help with the awful mandolin shape most sf have! He's leaning, but liking his shape overall. Glad I kept him! Bred for the first time yesterday, so we'll see if he can pass on his good looks!

The aggressive ahole. Love his silvering, needs a better personality and loin.

G. Rex. Molting like crazy. His weight seems to of stabilized. He's still horribly annoying to get breeding! But his kits grow faster! So, I'm putting up with him...Kept a son, will see how he does and if kits still grow well or not.

Alaskan Red doe. Needs more silvering on head and wider, higher shoulder.

Bracing forward and leaning, but not awful. Widy's replacement. Needs work on sf fur.

I wonder if I should just cull Unity one out or not.

$185 in the red. 18 bags of manure for the garden.

Currently $113 in the red.

I may have a buyer for the 2 pedigreed bucks and the mutt doe. Waiting on her to kindle, she made a great nest with fur. 🤞

And I may have a buyer for the frozen full hides and kits. Super hopeful those sell! I need the freezer space! 🫠

Listed the manure, would be $18 more if they all sell vs used for garden.

Lost a sheep. Still counting days/meals it lasts for the lgd. Going on 4 days so far. Maybe 2 more days.

I need to buy more hay for winter, so really want all of these to sell. 🙏
 
She and 2 bucks are supposed to sell tomorrow. 🤞 Had her kits successfully!

Rex Coral was bred to Rivian, bc G wasn't in the mood. Getting nest tonight.
Newest Rex doe bred to G, but not sure it was successful, so also bred to Rivian. Nest on Tuesday.
Back to G not interested, so Puff bred to Rivian. Nest Thursday.
Saturday nests, Malty bred to Digit. And Tealy bred to G.
Gotta clean up the nests in storage!
 
$103 in the red. 18 in poo sales.

Currently $85 in the red.

He's interested in future bulk orders!

And he hesitantly asked what I use them for.
Now I may have a buyer at $7 pound, butchered.

The 2 buck and bred doe sale failed. Ffs.
 
$85 in the red. Sale of 19 hides & a bunch of lost kits at 184.

Currently $99 in the green.

Freezer will finally be empty! But I have bun pelts in the deep freezer to go. Will try to dry them for dog treats or something...
need to make as much room as possible, bc our bull will be going in!

Oh. The sheep for dog food...
Lasted 6 days for 2 dogs. Since it's sheep, I'll make it $5 a meal.
6×2=12. 12×5=60.

Currently $159 in the green.


Made a smaller carrier. Was 4in too narrow, so it's a two-hole vs a three-hole. But at least 2 buns can ride in the front now and not the hot back.
I just need to find a pan for it. 🤔
21.5L×12.5W to 22×13 sized pan. 🧐

$159 in the green. And 35 Fennel sale. Plus 3 culls for dog food at 6.

Currently $200 in the green!

Wow. You've really made progress. Congrats!
 
Writing Fennel's pedigree and I realized that I F up. She & Sugar are actually 3rd generation!
Which means Malty & Vapor are 4th gen, and their future litters will be 5th generation! Basically pure Silver Fox! 🥳
I need to calculate the Alaskan Reds now....
Two are torts, I'll have to look into the others.
The tort originally came from a pure SF, just no pedigree, if you can trust a 4H kid.
But the current torts were bred to a broken tort, and broken is back on 3gen, not pure. Doesn't that set back the torts? Idk how all this works...lol.

Three bucks and one doe left to sell or cull. 3 I'm ready to cull, but the newest buck I'll keep a bit if not sold to get some kits, then cull as well.

Cruella feels preg, currently napping in her nest, but it's clean.

It's already freezing at night. 🥶
I'm not ready. 😭 Autumn just started, cmon!
Anyone else not ready??
Yeah... me either. I have 2 pepper plants that need to come inside... there was frost on the cars this morning.

If the plants still look ok tomorrow, I guess that's when they are coming in.

😭 NOOooooo!

I am NOT ready for this at all. The last two nights/mornings went down to 32 and one of my does even pulled additional fur for her few day old babies.

My little rabbitry is indoors in an insulated building that I have AC in for the summers and was looking at options for a safe heater (worried about fire hazzard) for a very small barn just to keep it above freezing and I thought I still had some time...apparently not. Ugh.
