Edmonton Show

Well, the show went well. I took a pile of animals and brought a few home. My little car was crammed! From my very foggy(rushed) memories of the show, I did well. Squirrely got another leg, Nibbles got one, Buttercup got one, Iggy got one, I think Windy got one, Ginger I think got one... I'm waiting on the official results because I don't remember a lot! I did get the Best of the Best Opposites with a little Peruvian boar. I am hoping that there is a cavy show at Wetaskiwin as I may continue to coat the little guy out. I brought home 4 American rabbits(thanks Gayle!) 2 English Lops(thanks Andrea & Heather!), 1 Holland Lop(thanks Crystal!) and 4 Mini Lops(thanks Jess, Taryn & Dennis!)


I have gone through my babies that I have weaned(except the Frenchies) and sold everyone except a fawn doe from Petunia/Cole, a blue chin buck from Calla/Willow, a doe from Adam/Eve. Have a few litters upcoming and looks to be some lookers in the bunch! Have a couple litters of cavies as well, two American and one Silkie(peruvian baby). Had a little surprise of a three peachicks. Cute little gaffers!
I am still plagued by big, fat broiler chickens AKA bottomless pits. They are waiting to be butchered, just the weather is not cooperating. Hoping next week, and then my feedbill should drop a lot as the amount they can put away is amazing.


My next show is next year in Wetaskiwin, I am hoping that they have a cavy show as the one at the Bonnie Doon was great, but Cliff is so much fun anyway :-)


I will be heading down to Edmonton/Calgary at the end of the month again. Taking Cola down, might pick up some buns for Laura-ann and pick up a surprise! Laura-ann might come with me, just depends if she can get a day or two off.

Not much else going on here that I can think of at this time!
