I will be heading to Grande Prairie this week-end. Visit Brianna and to pick up some critters from a shipment that we are bringing up from the island. I'm getting a few mini lops from Cristina and 4 pigs from Dillon. Really looking forward to seeing them and Brianna's new fuzzies. I'm also talking to Jess and Taryn about Mini Lops as they are sadly selling all of their rabbits. Some nice buns in dilute available!
In other buns news, I am considering cutting back to 3-5 hollands. I love the breed and the ones that I have, but they are not my favorites in the barn... Mini Lops and the French Lops are my main breeds and I want to be able to focus more on them. Mini Lops were my first rabbits and they will always be number one is the barn. French Lops are a close second, but they are bigger so I don't want nearly as many of them so they get culled a little harder. I love the Harlequins and they are not going anywhere, especially when they are Samantha's! The Mini Rex I have cut back to three and I don't see getting more than 5 in the barn again... I like them , but not to be a main breed for me. The Americans I have 4 and they are not going anywhere either. I enjoy them and they need more breeders so badly. I have one English Lop, Nettie, my tort doe, her brother lives with Laura-ann and is a pampered house bunny... I have cut back lots already this year, but something has to give and I don't enjoy showing the hollands as much as the other breeds... Not sure if I will or who will stay if I do...
Other news I have to get pics of Denny posted. I'll post three here, but we'll have to wait for it to warm up before I get good ones to put on the website. He got dropped off when I was at work and its been so cold that I haven't had a chance to get good pictures. I am looking forward to having a horse that I can ride again. I just forget how tall he was from when I looked at him back in August! 
Kiley will be heading down to Calgary pretty soon, not sure if she is flying or if she will be going part way in February when we head to the bunny(and cavies!) show in Wetaskiwin. She is going to visit her mom and get some shows under her belt. She will also have her health testing done when she is down there.
I have plans to go to Wetaskwin in February, just no idea what I will be driving and how many buns... Plus dog(s)...
that is about it for now...
