Happy Easter

We had a colorful Easter and Rachel liked having help on her annual Easter egg hunt! They hopped right to it!
Happy Easter from us and all our buns here at Sweet Buns Rabbitry www.sweetbunsrabbitry.com. I've included a special tribute to Samantha the Mini Lop who posed in the Easter Basket last year. She passed earlier this month and was a fine friend. She will be missed.

Meet "Davenitch R Mere Everlasting Hope"

I didn't want to announce we were on the list for a female Cardigan Welsh Corgi puppy until I knew it was a sure thing and this week we picked up Hope from her breeder, Connie Whan. We met Hope when she was 3 weeks old and hoped she would turn out as a potential show prospect so we called her Hope early on. She is the only brindle female out of 8 in the litter. Here is a few pics of her at various ages up to now. Timing of this litter was perfect as I finished my Town tax duties as Treasurer followed by lambing.

Clun Forest AI Results

Success! Indeed 11 of 12 ewes bred artificially with the Netherlands frozen semen lambed from March 21-25. We had a few struggles with 3 sets of TBV triplets born on one day and a couple losses in the following days (small lambs) plus one cervical spine deformity in one of them but she is thriving now.
We have more SAN lambs: 3 twin born rams plus 1 single born black fleeced wether and 4 ewes.
Our first TBV lambs: 5 twin or triplet born rams and 3 ewes.
Our first OWE lamb: a twin born ram but the other got hung up at the ribs in a backwards birth and he didn't make it.
Overall, 15 lambs at this point could be registerable. The pic is of one the SAN twin ram lambs and his dam.
