Feeling frustrated. It's not looking like any of the girls took from last month's breeding. Jacaranda and Sequoia should have kindled by now and Dahoon is technically due tomorrow but doesn't look plump at all.

The other three ladies are scheduled to be bred next Monday and I'm hoping that's more successful. I know its been hot and all 6 involved in last month's breeding were first timers but this stinks. I'll keep check boxes, but they havent made a nest and keep eating the straw.

Hard to belive it's been 11 years since I started this journey of raising rabbits. We eat rabbit at least 2-3 times a week plus incorporate the bone broth into meals often as well.

It's the breeding season on the farm! Getting the litters scheduled for the year. We had a successful breeding with 2 of the 3 pairings today. All virgin buns so I'm impressed. Each doe will be bred 3 times giving us 18 litters across the season.

Once the weather cools off a little bit later in the week I'll get photos of our new breeders uploaded.

It was a busy day outside. It was hot but with the humidity so much lower it wasn't miserable. Got three beds planted with fall crops. Oh, and finally got around to stakingbup those peppers I planted in spring 😆
As we sat outside enjoying the breeze we had a doe followed by an 8 point buck hang out for a while

I had a bonus day off and spent it sweating my @$$ off. But the garden is reset and ready for fall/winter. Removed all the old dead spring/summer plants and weeds. Sprinkled in some cover crop of sun h**p, iron clay pea and red ripper pea. Then covered it all with rabbit poo.
Tomorrow I'll get my tomato and flower seeds started. Over the next few weeks different seeds will get started and and plants be transplanted. Fingers crossed for a fruitful garden.

It was a very late night, getting home just after 10, but today we welcome Dahoon (doe) and Redbud (buck) from RoseOak Ranch: TAMUK Composite Meat Rabbits. Thank you Dunn Critter Transport for getting them from Texas to Floirda.

In a few weeks once all the juniors fill in some better I'll update our breeders albums. We have 6 new breeders in our line up.
