Bunny Breeding and New Rabbits

Sorry for the late post:) I've been busy breeding does, palpating, getting nest boxes clean and so on. I bred Brindy again and also her daughter Krissa & they are due June 19th . A couple of weeks ago I bred Coda and Sangria so they are due on June 5th (so I have to make some more nest boxes). Bacon is due on the 27th of this month so she already has a nest box in. Also yesterday I bought 3 junior does from a breeder who has really good stock of Production Whites, they are doing quite well.

About Me

My name is Grace and I am the 3rd of 5 kiddos. Me and my family live out here in beautiful Northest Oklahoma, away from the city thankfully! Here's a bit more about us... For as long as I can remember, we have been "City Folk". I've lived my life in California since I was 2 years old (now I'm 13....oh, and we moved to OK when I was 10).
after about 9 years of living in Southern California, me and my family decided to pick up and move out of California. We chose Oklahoma as our new homeland and I must say, the whole family was THRILLED! About 6 months after we made the decision to move, we were gone and on the road, headed east. To make a long story short, we arrived in OK, lodged in a rental cabin on the river (boy was that tight livin'! 7 people crammed in that thing :)

There we stayed, until 6 months later, God provided us with 7 acres of beautiful, grassy, shady land out in the country. As you can imagine, cleaning up property is quite a task, considering the fact that it had been about 5 years since it was inhabited. It took hard, long, sweaty days of clearing brush, burning leaves, building barns...all to work toward a common goal...building our own little farm.

When that was pretty much done, we started to build the rabbit barn. So, finally, after about 2 months of intense learning, research and hands on experience, I got my first trio of Californian rabbits! I was SO excited!
Now, I got out of the Californians and stared breeding Production Whites. I have about 10 breeding does, 2 bucks and a gazillion babies:) we have, 23 dairy goats, a lot of chickens, a bunch of ducks, a couple of LGD's (Livestock Guardian Dogs), 2 breeding pigs and....oh, some barn cats! I'm kinda the "rabbit girl" of the family, but my siblings help out a lot too.

I hope you enjoyed reading about our little ranch! If you have any questions, feel free to contact us!
