Show Entries

Well, I have officially sent in our show entries for the show this week-end. So all that's really left to do is keep everyone well fed, tattoo one, and trim up the nails for the show. I, of course, also need to look into some better allergy medication. The fact that spending a mere hour in close proximity to the rabbits earlier this week had me wheezing worries me greatly. I don't want to be miserable at the show, and I can certainly admit that constant sneezing, watering eyes, headache, and difficulty breathing does have an effect on my emotional goodwill towards others.

At this particular show I'll be looking for Holland does, to add to my herd; meat rabbits, both for butchering and for breeding; and to sell my Angoras and Rex rabbits. I thought long and hard about the Rex, having no buck is a great hindrance, but they grow too slowly and eat too much to make good meat rabbits, so I won't be looking for any new bucks. Instead I will be attempting to sell the remaining does. If they don't sell over the next few shows, I'll likely butcher them. I can't see giving them away or putting them in a raffle when they could just as easily be putting meat in our freezer as any other rabbit. I really am not too keen on it though, simply because I know these rabbits and have a bit of a bond with them. I'd rather sell them if I can.
