Final Show of the Year

We kicked off the show season well once again!  Last Saturday we attended the Fall Michigan State Rabbit Breeders Association Fall Convention held in East Lansing.  It was a very well attended show which represented a large variety of breeds.  

We took some of our Lionheads and French Angoras for exhibition.  Both classes were very large!  I was excited to see that the French Angoras were a really big class this year.  There were many new faces as well as regulars so it was really nice catching up with everyone and talking about this wonderful breed.  Here is the rundown of the placings:

I also entered Forget-Me-Not and Butterflyweed in their breed class and both placed high up there in both shows.  I was really surprised with Butterflyweed especially as she had just come off a litter but she was in good body flesh and had a long enough coat so I decided to show her.  I am getting really excited about what next year’s show season will bring and am looking forward to putting some of my babies I have now on the show table soon.  

As a side note, we are breeding more French Angora and Lionhead does for availability for next year.  We also currently have a nice selection of Lionhead, French Angora, and English/French Hybrid angoras for sale on our website, so please check it out!  

Hope everyone has an enjoyable Thanksgiving!
