We are building a new barn this month and we all can't wait the animals will love it , they now can all stay here on our farm all year long . They used to go 2 doors down to my father in laws house in the barn for the winter , but know they can stay here. We may keep the boy's down their and the smell of them in fall . We are going more to the nigerian dwarf dairy goats then the bigger ones like the nubians. So we have nubians for sale . The rabbits are doing very well at the shows Amber really loves her californians she won Grand and reserve of the market animal show and also won reserve of the youth show over all . I also showed one in the open show and won reserve of the open show . They are really doing good at our fair. In Nov. we are going to be showing at Nationals in Minnasota for rabbits . Got all the angoras shorn this week.

I love there curly fleeces. I can't wait till I start dying the locks, my kids can wait either they love to felt and they like to add the colored locks to what ever they are felting .
