So finally getting around to my post:
Show went well over all, did really crappy this time, like baddddddd. Only won third twice, scratched the last show with that buck, was to tired and because he is a bit smutty in his red coloring knew he'd come in third again. But almost every single one of my buns are in molt or starting so it was to be expected honestly. The competition was fierce, the judge told me he had 195 Mini rex to judge. I had no chance at that point, not until I get some nice looking JR's born in my herd, and my darn things get their coats back in condition.
I ended up spending wayyyy to much money, but my husband had already guessed that and was prepared with extra money in his own wallet, that I'd have to kill him for if I wanted it, and he's kind of a keeper so I let him live. Although his asthma was bad and he did not have an inhaler. So it was a bit rough. He's extremely allergic to rabbits, but he loves me and is very supporting if not major protective of me.
Was able to pick up a 9 hole cage bringing me to 26 holes total. So nice now I can work with my herd more and develop some fine JRs.
Picked up Four new buns, A castor doe and buck, my husbands new black otter doe, and................ BROKEN RED BUCK. I could die with excitement. Here in MI broken reds are like Gold. People who get nice ones do not sell and if they do they sell them for high dollar, or sell the less quality ones. He's gorgeous and I can see some little broken red kits in my near future!
Overall we had fun, even if we lost bad but that's okay its not about winning for me. Hotel was so nice.
I'll post pictures when I get home tonight!
I also got to meet a fellow RT member talk about exciting!
