Dawww cute family photo of the bew babies. NFS

I need to tell you guys about this rabbit mid haircut. This was Will’s BOSB buck from convention. He got 2 more BOSB’s on Saturday at Wooster. He decided he’d had enough of that and grew a va**na Saturday night. Sunday he was a SHE! He was for sale. Was. I’m a little more patient on my does, and hard up for does, so Abe is now Abeliene and will be staying. She just needs to grow into her big girl shoes (I give my giants a full 2 years to make weight). And also, I like her butt.

We will have lots of satin angoras looking to hop!! Visit us in building 9a at Wooster this weekend for the Great Lakes Fiber Show Community

Also a giant angora white buck!

Come visit us in building 9a! (Heads up, the rabbit barn and show is a separate entity during the Great Lakes Fiber Show so not all the volunteers know we are in there). I promise you we will be set up in building 9a!!

Nefeli (F3) will be looking for a new pasture later this fall after the Valais show in PA.

Well today has been a day for the boys!! Nick had junior champion Corriedale ewe and junior champion fleece and Will had junior champion white longwool ram (we missed the junior fleece class)! They will be in the Supreme drives tomorrow. My rams were sheared too late, but my ewes were 5th and 6th out of 19 yearlings and first place pair of ewes. After lunch we will show the black BFLs and end the day with Richards Scottie’s.

Come see us in the SE corner of the lower barn at Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival 2026 4 yearling BFL rams are looking for new flocks.

Little Nefeli is growing great! She has some mismarks on her back but this is William’s first F3 after losing his bottle lamb in the fall. She will be available in the fall after he shows her for the season, probably at or after the October PA valais show.

I did say I run out black wool the fastest!! 2 rams and a ewe for Blondie (her sister Blackie had the 3 earlier this week).
