2012 - It's been a busy year for all of us and we haven't made as many shows as we would like. We did have BOB and BOS at two shows in Cleburne in early December. We had Grand Champion meat pen, 1st place fur, 1st place senior buck 1st place junior buck and BOS at the TRBA state show in April . At the CRSC Nationals in Ft Worth, we had 1st Senior buck out of 34, 13th 6/8/ buck out of 56 and 8th junior buck out of 47.13th 6/8 doe out of 56 and 12th place junior doe out of 58. The meat pens did not cooperate this year and simply would not match up. We did get 5th and 11th place single fryers. We also did well at the Central Texas Rabbit Club in Austin with several first place rabbits and BOB in one show in early May.
2013 - Spring was a total bust for Mike as he suffered a stroke and didn't make any shows. John was able to carry the load and was very competitive again winning the meat pen show at the TRBA state show. Together they did well enough to finish 4th in the TRBA breed sweepstakes for Californians. Everything is back on track now and both are looking forward to the fall show season. First show of the fall was Cleburne the last weekend in September. It was a triple show and we won Best of Breed at all three shows and Best Opposite Sex twice.. Mid Tex The last weekend in October was tougher competition. We won one Best Opposite Sex out of three shows. Back to Cleburne in December for another triple. Two Best of Breeds and two Best Opposites out of three shows. Next show will be Blackland Prairie RBA on Jan 11th 2014.

We added a few breeders in the spring of 2012 from two great breeders - Johnny Hopper of North Carolina and Paul Strunk from Oklahoma. We think they will cross well with our rabbit line. We have lots of babies on the ground and in the nest boxes. In 2013 we have added rabbits from Bob Donnell of Illinois, Ashton Miller from Kentucky, Carl Labiche from Louisiana and Vince Pickney of Tennessee. We're hoping for a great fall show season.
