Virginia is for Pasture Farmers!
The cold kit from Berry's litter got dragged out and died. Rest doing great.

Put the 2hole over the other. It's hung up from the carport's frame.

Added rebar to straighten the 3hole. Need to do the same to the 4hole next.
Put a divider into the top cage as well.

And to secure the 2hole, I used the metal scrap frame along the back to keep it from flopping about. Obviously, I climbed in. Pretty common for me to do this, lol.

Rudy made her nest in the cage. Ugh. Hoping she changes her mind. Will add another nest in that spot just in case. Sire Spaz & Trouble.

Had to move my posing table outside.

Opal looks....comfortable....
It's always the Rex sleeping in bizarre ways.

$446. Plus 30 in poo use for trees.
Currently $476 in the green.


Latest brood stock count, grand total of 30.
Wtf! I am so not okay with this.....
Looking at the Rex bucks, there's way too many of them. Choco will go once I get kits. Cast is on his last chance to get a doe bred. Rew and Puff, I'll be comparing how Puff grows to Rew. Hopefully better, to replace him. If not, cull. Then, I need to compare Bluey to Trouble. Either cull or get a litter then cull.
Trying not to cull too early, though. As that's also not a good thing....
Then, looking at Rex does, I'm wanting to remove one of the broken chocolates by comparing litters. Cassy vs Opal. I need Opal to fatten up for a litter, if they do well, one will replace Cassy, as I don't like her shape and she's not great in size. And the other Cruella doe, need to compare her to DeVil and may cull her out.
Then! The mutts.
Raven on her 2nd chance, nest next Monday. Held back her tort doe, will cull if Raven has a worthy kit. And Coal was bred on the 11th, so hoping she proves worth it or will be culled. Rudy is due Tuesday. 🤞

So, hopefully 6-7 or so will go before winter.
