Something new - I will be writing quarterly articles for Mainely Ag newspaper about rabbits. The newspapers are about all types of livestock and happenings in the State of Maine. You can find them for free in some feed stores around the State or you can subscribe to it for just $10. a year and get it delivered to your door.
Clubs are still struggling to recruit new members who will help out us "oldsters" in putting on shows. People sure enjoy attending rabbits shows but the help is sometimes lacking. Whether you belong to a club or not, offer a helping hand at a show, even for a short half hour. It will be appreciated!
I did attend the February CCRBA show taking just four Hollands. I had two solid senior bucks, plus one I sold in November was shown. All 3 bucks placed in the Top 5 in both shows. Of course, "Sell the Best and Keep the Rest" motto kicked in and the one I sold took Best of Breed. It's littermate sister took Best Opposite Sex. The Solid Senior Doe and the Broken Senior Doe won their classes in the first show and came in 2nd in the second show. So it was definitely worth going with just 4 rabbits.
