It has been a cold week here and sadly we lost two litters. We did save three litters and they are snuggly warm in my office. We have two more does due by Monday and then the rounds of re-breeding start.
With the 3-day weekend, Emily will be home and of course orchastrate the whole thing. :-) Our goal is to have some quality juniors for both Oregon State and Washington State convention. What takes now will be the last of the juniors to be ready -- just about 4 months old.
Four months is a little young for the tight competition in Mini Lops, but that age can do well with Mini Rex. Annoyingly, I can't get my tort Mini Rex doe to breed. We have tried with 2 different bucks and 2 with the same buck and nothing. I fear this weekend will be her last chance to produce or she will be relocated.
We will be attending OR state as a "girls weekend" and I will be missing WA state to take some time off to visit my family in Wisconsin. One of my goals this year is to establish BALANCE.
