Driving down to Convention, my travel buddy Barry and I pondered buying tickets and pooling our chances. Once there after seeing the rabbits we each purchased 4 tickets and called it good. Barry said he wanted the buck and I could get the two does.
After the HL auction was held on Tuesday, they drew the trio and my ticket was drawn. WooHoo, Yeah, Yippee! People congratulated me and said I was lucky to win them. Yes, I was VERY lucky to win them. Most folks haven't been going to Convention as long as I have so they didn't realize a very important part of "the luck". I've been buying trio tickets for TWENTY-FIVE YEARS!
I've gotten the does settled in and they are very cute. The Lukeman doe is a lovey-dovey. The Cammack doe placed 20th in the broken junior doe class at Convention. Back home, I had only two broken does, so was delighted there was not only one but two broken does in the trio. Hopefully, more brokens will follow and help fill up those broken classes.
The buck is one of the nicest trio bucks I've ever seen donated. He is out of two awesome parents. His dad was 2nd place solid senior buck this year.... one placement above Over the Moon. His mom won her class at the 2011 Indy Convention. He should work well with Barry's color project.
Maybe I should start buying Mega-bucks tickets again? Or can I only win Rabbit-bucks?
