Colorado.

Show News:
Mom and I went to a show in Loveland Colorado last weekend. The weather was superb! The show staff were wonderful (as usual). The fellow exhibitors were FUN FUN FUN. Despite the long drive home, I did enjoy the show.

We did so much better than I thought we would. Triple show, we won 2 Best of Breeds (Levi) and 3 Best Opposite Sex of Breeds (3 month old Zeke daughter won two and Karma the other).
Congrats to Laureen Wark for her BOB win with her gorgeous SSB!

Levi seems to be our under estimated winner. He never has a coat and we always hesitate to take him for that reason. It is those shows that he usually wins BOB. I think he has at least 8 so far. He came home from Colorado and decided to blow his coat so maybe he'll finish for Nationals?! He's never been to a National/Convention and maybe this will be the year he goes!

Pictured below is one of my favorite upcoming bucks. He hasn't been named and he's hardly been shown. He just turned senior. He's not the best upcoming buck in the barn but for some reason I'm in love with him. He's a Sabotage son. I had him up for sale when he was a junior and the sale didn't work out. I'm kinda glad. His color = <3


Randoms:
CN's BEL had a litter of four yesterday, a repeat breeding of Wynn. Two more does due. We have a couple of Ditto sons that are looking very promising. We are rotating out some older/foundation brood stock and putting our next generation into breeding. We're trying to get our Spring show schedule lined up. We're really wanting to go to the March NC show but the co$t of the trip worries me.

Enjoy the long weekend!
