The Herd

We have new additions to the herd - 6 does and 2 bucks.  4 of the does are New Zealands, and two are minis.  Here is our updated collection:
Does
    New Zealands
      -2 red (Ruby & Annie Oakley)
      -2 gold-tipped steel (Larkspur & Sage)- very pretty and unique color!  I can’t wait to see what they produce.
      -2 white (Princess & CJ)
      -1 blue (Blue)
      -1 chinchilla - also a unique color! (Cali)
      -1 blue torte (Dusty)
    1 Californian (Bella)
    Minis
      -1 blue (Smokey)
      -1 light gray (Sierra)

Bucks
    New Zealands
      -1 white (Steamboat)
      -1 blue (Thunder)
      -1 red (Mufkin)
    1 Californian (Mac)
    Minis
      -1 gray broken lionhead mix (Casper)
      -1 gray point (Cookie - soon to be renamed - we thought he was a she!)

I will be having a litter born within the next few days out of Smokey by a red NZ buck.  At the end of this month, Sage will hopefully have a litter by a white NZ buck.  In March, I am expecting a litter out of Bella by Mac and a litter out of Princess by Mufkin.  Eventually I will get pictures of all my stock, but right now I don’t really have a great setup for doing that.  Last time I set the rabbits on a bale of straw in the barn and the dog and cow were very curious and made things difficult.  Hopefully I will be able to have a designated rabbit building someday, but for now the barn is for everyone (cats, dog, cow, rabbits, ect) and it works all right.  That’s it for now!

Rock Island Rabbits

We are a small rabbitry just getting started out here in Colorado.  Right now we have 4 breeding rabbits, and 7 young rabbits that will be breeders in a few months.  Two of the 4 breeders are a pedigreed Californian pair, both of which have several legs on their pedigrees.  We will be having both a New Zealand litter and a Californian litter soon.  Pictures to come!

Eventually we will be raising cattle, chickens, and other animals.  Stay tuned!
