Some updates on my favorite keepers so far! These three will be at the Moscow show this weekend. They are all still young juniors so I know they aren’t bringing anything big home. But I know they are all better than their parents!

These babies are cute! They are seven weeks old and looking better than most my 14 week grow outs. These babies are out of Bear Paws Blu Blu and GC (pending) Dreanin Vader. I have high hopes these babies will be nice enough for convention!

I will never get enough of this buck! Caty Creek’s Gimic has three jr. legs and hopefully we can get a sr. Leg on him at the next show. We also should have a litter due from him in two weeks, that should have Blue Himalayan!

I’ve been so busy between goat shows and tracking grow outs and breedings that half these home growns are already 13 weeks and this is the first post I am making about them 🤦‍♀️.

Anyways here are some of the convention hopefuls for this year. I have a few more does that need to kindle and we will be done for the summer. Hopefully we have some nice babies to send to convention.

Let’s talk tattoos. I have been asked by more than a handful of people how I get my tattoos so neat so I thought I would make a quick post about it.

The first tattoo pictured is one I did about a year ago. And the two other pictures were done yesterday.

There really is no shortcut to getting good at tattoos. You just have to practice, and practice again, and practice some more. I have tattooed hundred of rabbits and gotten lots of experience with it. The quickest way to get good at tattooing is to practice on culls. Particularly the ones you are going to process. You can tattoo them twice, for double the exercise. Don’t forget to be patient it took me about a year and a half to have what I would call decent tattoos.

We take rabbits to the fair tomorrow, so here is a litter update while I have a chance.

Ursa Major's It Goes Around A.K.A. Orbit had her litter of 9 beautiful babies on the 19th. These babies are out of Cooper Creek's Tracker, so I have hopes there will be at least one chinchilla in there. Interestingly, there is a white baby in her box. There is a chance it is a himi or a REW, but we will have to wait and see.

Ursa Major's In Motion A.K.A Inertia - Her litter is now four weeks old and I did four week weight checks and here is how they did.

Chinchilla Doe - 10.1 oz
Chinchilla Buck - 9.7 oz
Lynx? - 10.8 oz
Opal? - 7.4 oz
Broken (Castor) - 8.3 oz
Broken (Chocolate) - 12 oz
Broken (Lynx?) - 10.9 oz
Broken (Chinchilla) - 9.9 oz
Otter (Black) - 11.3 oz

Moonshine's Venus litter is also four weeks.

Yapper - 12.9 oz
Green - 12 oz
Brown - 7.1 oz
Yellow - 11.5 oz

P3's Dubwool's litter is the last I did weight checks for.

Rosalita - 12 oz
Brown - 8.8 oz
Yellow - 8.6 oz
