When the sun shines or it rains - the exciting and the boring of my life.

 Angelfly and the Saanen  buckling
    We are raising four kids: three were born here and one of them we bought to be our new stud. He is a great looking black Lamancha buck.
Angelfly is looking like she is going to be a wonderful doe! She is in your face friendly and butts the others away when she think you're giving them too much attention. The other two are the Saanen twins. Not sure if we are going to keep them or not. We might let the Saanen buckling breed a few of our does. Seeing how we love his mom and she gives us about a gallon of milk a day.

Starring Elvis and Kits

    Well after much debating about what to post about with lots of great pics and stories to tell, seeing how I haven't blogged in ages, this is it. Been busy with work, shearing, fishing, and collecting. But in the end cuteness wins.
 The baby bunnies eyes are open now and they are just adorable. I didn't have good pictures of dad, who we have now named Elvis. So I am including a few pictures of him. Honey's babies didn't make it but Pepper had three survive. Two are dark brown and one is the dads buff color. They are pure bred Lionheads can't wait to see how they develop.

Baby hoppers

Male Lion head
      My two does had bunnies this week. My mini lop Honey had six and my Lionhead Pepper had five. The father of both litters is buff lionhead (I really need to get some better pictures of him). All of the babies should be very friendly as we handle them from the time they are a few days old. I will be selling all of the mini lop lionhead crosses when they are ready to go in about 6 weeks and some of the pure Lionheads asking ten each for the crosses and fifteen each for the purebreds. I have not raised any bunnies from this Lionhead but her mother gave me many nice ones.
