It’s been said before and it will always remain true, but raising livestock isn’t easy or for the faint of heart. A few months ago, we were filled with joy for the upcoming breeding season, hoping we had worked out the issues that caused so much loss last year. Unfortunately, we hit another string of hard luck. Off the bat, Lottie, one of our Mini Satin does didn’t take, along with Bleu, our proven holland, later on.
Our sweet and sassy Cleo was bred to Thunder, and unfortunately had a hard time with labor and we lost her and the 2 babies she was able to deliver. We had lots of hope and we were so eager to see what these babies would become but God had other plans for them.
Fortunately, we still have all 6 from Jennay who are doing well and healthy, but we keep telling them how ugly they are (😉). Missy also delivered us 3 dutch babies and as a first time mom she has doing great! These are all wins that we are holding onto. We have a few more does within the next couple weeks and we will continue to do our best! Even in this hard time, it has been great to keep in touch with my mentors and friends in the rabbit world.
