I love this sassy girl
She took a while to glow up- thinking I need more Queen E babies in my barn.

Almost hitting that 10 year mark breeding hollands is amazing to me .. I felt I was hitting a good stride in my breeding program before covid .. then with no shows to attend I tried to keep breeding thinking “I can’t wait to hit the tables again”
Then life just got super busy .. got super spread thin and I just stopped finding the time & energy to put into my hollands. Attending ARBA convention was a great boost for me since all my hollands placed and my favorite brk otter doe took 3rd place in her class.. but I kept hitting bumps in the road for the last 1-2 years since..

I recently got a buck back to use in my program that was a result of a shared breeding. And his first set of kits gave me a feeling of excitement again!!!

Lots of changes have happened for our rabbitry as well. My children have always been my little partners in crime but as they have gotten older their priorities have shifted - change is hard and I always want to support my kids on their passions - hollands just weren’t their passion anymore. So I took over their projects, we’ve always kept our own rabbits separate so we each had our own line within a line. The kids kept 1-2 of their favorites and I’ve picked and chosen ones I wanted to use.

I’m excited for my kids new adventures my son Zachry is focusing on HS wrestling- he placed 5th at state as a freshman and is looking at attending summer camps to grow more in the sport, he’s also focusing on only showing pigs 🐽 which he’s also finding a stride in that adventure as well.
My youngest daughter invested in buying bred club sheep/ewes & is breeding her 4h sheep and plans to grow in that project as well.

This gives me the chance to really focus on my rabbits and not worry about what my kids rabbits are doing. I’m enjoying the hobby again and feeling excited about hollands again ☺️
This little 4 week old pre-jr is giving me all the feels again - can’t wait for him to grow up!!

This is more for larger livestock - which my kids do show as well
But still can apply when you need to get your breed/class on the tables 😂

This happened to a rabbit yesterday 🫣
Sorry bunny 😬

It’s rough out there kids. Making memes is hard when my fingers are popsicles.

They say, they’re not dead until they’re warm and dead. How about when they’re frozen and alive… what does that make me?

I’m so glad I let this buck stay for the summer because he really bloomed. And to think I was just going to cut him from my program after the busy fair season passed 🤪

Zachry got the opportunity to bring Thriantas back from ARBA Convention
He got busy breeding the doe and the buck to a lot of his does
This doe is probably the only one I’ve suggested he keep, she’s from the oldest litter - might be 1 more we’ll hold onto as a backup
Funny she looks a lot like his first “pet” orange buck who was a pedigree purebred holland 🤪
