The ERBA show in Chehalis was a great show dispite the crowded show room. Everyone made the best of what could have been a very bad situation. Mandy and Ramona did an excellent job. Kudos to them!
Of course winning also makes a show more enjoyable and for our first major show of the season we were overall pleased and very surprised.
In opal Mini Rex, we won BOSV in A and BOV in B with our junior Opal does. These are coming along nicely and we are still waiting for new litters to add to our herd.
We are very pleased to have added a junior broken blue doe from KT's to our barn. Blueberry Ice will definately win on cute points!
Mini Lops did well also. Emily has kept a couple of Mini Lops under her name and Houdini won his senior leg and is a Grand Champion now. He celebrated by becoming a herd buck on Sunday...lol
Solid senior does proved to be strong finishing 2nd, 3rd and 4th in the A Show. They held their own in B as well. Our broken does were very young seniors and a couple showed promise and will go on to Tri-cities this weekend.
Our pleasant surprise at the show was how well our English Angoras did. We have kept these separate as they were initially "pets" but after Chehalis...who knows. We entered B Show and there were about 20 entered. Emily's buck placed 2nd in his class and my doe Akiko placed 1st in her class, won variety and went on to win Best of Breed.
I was very excited and relieved as my goal for the EA's was to just not be DQ'd. I think I met that goal!
They are not entered in Tri-Cities but may go to show at Yakima.
Have a great week.

Entry Deadline Reminder
Yes...today is the deadline for entries for the Tri-Cities show. We will be taking mainly Mini Lops and just a few Mini Rex. Hopefully we will be able to come home with a new trio of MR's.
It has finally gotten sunny and a bit warmer. We have several does ready to kindle in the next week or so. We will be culling again when Emily is home next week and will have some Mini Lops and Cinnamons ready. We will also be cutting back a bit on the Cinnamons so if you are looking for a great meat breed or rare breed, let us know. We will make great deals -- especially for 4-Her's.
