The fall show season is off to a good start. We attended the triple show with Southern Colorado RBA and Four Corners RBA in Pueblo , CO September 25th, 2010 . It turned out to be a really good showing for Xcaliber Hollands. In the Four Corners RBA show under Ashley Garza, Xcaliber’s Xora ended up winning BOB and Xcaliber’s Lil MJ won BOS. In the SCRBA show A under Heather Coin, Xcaliber’s Xora once again won BOB and CN’s Cook won BOS. In the BIS selection for both of these shows, Xora was an honorable mention. Both judges stated she would have won if her coat was more finished. Hopefully, she will be in prime condition come convention. In the final show under Carla Wilson, CN’s Cook won BOB and Xora won BOS. After the show, Carla pulled me aside and told me that Xora was an awesome little doe and just needs to be a little more finished.
My solids are starting to take shape too. I ended up winning the solid junior doe class in all shows but with a different doe each time. In one show, the SJD won BOV and in another show I won BOSV. While culling the herd last weekend, I also found 2 nice solid junior bucks that I am keeping my eyes on.
Xcaliber's ?? - Solid Junior Buck @ 8 weeks old out of CN's Cook
Another Solid Junior Buck @ 9 1/2 weeks - Xcaliber's ?? (this one is out of Y&K's Carter)
Right now I have about 10 does with litters. The next couple of weeks should be really crazy too. I have another 8 does that have been palpated and confirmed pregnant. Last weekend and this past week, I have bred another 11 does. Looks like the rabbitry is going to be hopping with babies very soon.
