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??

2009-12-18T08:41:00.000-08:00

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.

2008-02-06T15:59:00.000-08:00

I love to spin and started with my Ashford Traditional. Thats how I got into Showing Angora's. I saw an article in Country woman magazine about an English Angora so I called ARBA and they gave me Betty's Chu's phone number. I don't know if they always do that or if it was someone who knew her. But it was to my good fortune. I have Loved every Bunny minute. Spnning and showing has been my joy for about 15 years. I also have a Joy traveler now to take to shows and an electric spinner I bought from Betty. Here are some pic's of my wheels and hand spun 100% Angora. And a good looking fellow named Monte.

2008-02-06T15:46:00.000-08:00

Here are some pic's of my yarn. The first are Kid Mohair 75% with 15%Moreno and 10%English Angora. Its wonderful. I've been selling it to a local yarn shop and at Rabbit shows. If your interested please email me. billyray097@yahoo.com. I have the natural color White , Grey and Red goat, a lovely warm brown.Also some Easter egg and Kool-aid dyed. That was fun to do. The cat is essential to all yarn projects.

2007-09-27T09:42:00.000-07:00

Here are a few of the Angora Goats. There wool was spun up this year.

2007-09-22T19:52:00.000-07:00

Here are three white girls that I am showing right now. Though still young, they are doing great in shows. Can't wait for their full show coat.

2007-09-22T19:49:00.000-07:00

I raise English Angora rabbits, have been doing so since 1991. This is one of my biggest winners: Casey's Molina. She has won five all breed Best In Show and two specialty Best In Show. In the picture, she won the Best of Best In Show.

2007-09-22T19:39:00.000-07:00

Their fleece and mohair are wonderful for spinning.
