Nola gets naked...

Casey's Nola has had a wonderful show career with 19 Grand Champion legs.
She won Best of Variety Color Sr Doe again at her last show in Red Bluff. She has 3 Best of Breed, 9 Best of Variety wins. Including Best of Variety at the ARBA convention this year (very exciting) and 10 1st place Color Jr Doe. So it is time to cut off her coat and have my patented pineapple cut :). They look like a pineapple when I'm done . There really is a bunny under all the wool. We get asked that question all the time at shows. So I hope Nola will enjoy being cut down and have some babies soon.

Wool were is the bunny??

Here are the two coats or fleeces from Nola and Fawnton. I beautiful fluffy cloud of wool. A show coat is so wonderful about 10 inches on these coats. Crazy long. You only need wool about 3 inches to make lovely yarn. Non show bunnies get cut down about every 3 months to produce lovely wool. Show coats are a lot of work but so lovely...Nola is the tort on the left and Fawnton is the Fawn on the right. White cat in the middle who is always helping me with spinning and yarn.

Fawnton without his coat.

Fawnton a beautiful Fawn buck that was breed by Betty came to live with me a month or so before Convention. He did great there and has done fine on the show tables. It is time to take off his coat and enjoy the lightness. Hopefully he will be a Papa as well.

New Babies are Cuties

Here are some wonderful baby pictures. Lovely Black, White and Fawn or Cream. They are from my Really Red Line so they all carry the rufus. I just love the babies. For trust in advertising they are in a Cuties box ;)

The wool to the right in 3 of the bags I have remaining are from her first show coat 9-10 inches long and 18 ounces of fine wool with a few more ounces of shorted no as fine. The obligatory cat in all yarn or wool projects is "White Cat" one of the so-called stray cats that live with us. There is over 4 pounds of wool around her.

Show bunnies the Doe's

Show bunnies the Doe's

Here are some pictures of my lovely Angora's doe sisters that are 8 months old now. They love going to the shows and getting all the wonderful attention. They are both sweet loves. They are doing well in the Northern Calif. shows.I am hopping they will do well this year at the ARBA convention in Del Mar this November.
Grand Champion Nola is the tort doe has won many legs. Her wool is 8-9 inches now and amazingly dense. Fiona has 2 legs toward her Grand Championship she is the white doe her wool is also 8-9 inches . I will get well over a pound of wool from each when I shear them. Bunny love and spinning and crafts. English angoras are just a wonderful critter.
