Hi all!
My name's Katie. I've been lurking for some time and did post once for advice on a colony setup almost a year ago now. While I got some great and much appreciated information my plans fell apart at that time and I never did get my rabbits last summer. Well, this spring I decided the timing was never going to be quite right so I just went ahead anyway. I now have a trio of 13 week old Californians. These are my first rabbits so I know I'll have plenty of questions (already have several) so I thought I'd go ahead and introduce myself.
My husband and I run a small dairy farm in WV (just south of Morgantown). We milk about 50 head right now. It's just us to run everything so it keeps busy 24/7. I actually grew up in town, have a M.S. in Computer Science, and was working on my doctorate when I met my husband. I ended up quitting school to work the farm with him full time. Not bad for a girl who'd never been on a tractor before. I guess you just never know what you'll end up doing for love! We'll have been together 4 years in August (married for 3 in October). I've gotten a crash course in farming and have come a long way. Although every day it remains painfully apparent just how much I still have to learn. But that's farm life for you. Or maybe just plain life.
We have one beautiful little girl, Samantha, who turns a year old July 16 and just found out we have another little one on the way, due January 12.
For the time or two in a month we actually find a few minutes of free time we keep a couple horses that I ride and my husband drives.
I look forward to getting to know everyone.
