Ignoring the disaster they made....
Horses will be kicked out back onto their track after current bale is gone. They're aholes and I'm sick of it.
Added a panel to stop them going out the back of the shelter. Fence all the way around to fully enclose and keep out ALL animals!!
Redoing the drying area so that its all on the bread trays, now that nothing can get in and break them.

I just need to put fencing back by the coop, as the sheep don't respect hotwire.
Then the whole area will be free of horrible arseholes!

Found a second one, more space for them now. They're deeper, so it'll be harder for them to dump out shavings.

If people would buy bulk pregnant ewes, at my prices, I'd probably sell them all off today. But no. I have two people wanting adult ewes once they're available. Hopefully, I can decide fast and sell even faster. 🤞

Hmm, black that isn't black....

Hoping this one ends up the best.

Didn't bother posing these yet.

I need to decide from these litters.

Cruella × Trouble, pedigreed, again, the castor looks best. Lol. I didn't check gender. Second best weight.
Will list the other three.

Cassy × Chinny or Mallow.
Based on fur shine & feel, plus their shapes, I'm pretty sure these are Mallow kits.
The steel doe isn't pictured, as she's hideous.
I think I'll wait another week for the rest.

Tippy × Rew
More depth with the blanket doe, and a better rear. Shoulders seem a bit lacking, but I don't eat wings that much. REW might also be bracing a bit.
I think I'll list the REW.

Tappy × Cast or Rew
I'd assume Rew as sire, but idk. Both pass castor. But a charlie was in the litter, so Cast is just as likely. 🫠
I'll list the castor and wait another week on the other two, though, the lilac seems to be best.

Brought some carpet sections down to redo the posing table. Then put it in a new spot and set up the light. But, it'll be hard to get top and rear pics now. Might need a stool, might need to turn bun to get rear shot. Lol

Posed a random Xprezo kit. Needs more depth, but I like it.

Got new pics of a sale buck, he's looking better. Wtf. Lol. Forgot to smooth his butt before pics, he kept moving 🫠

The chocolate survivor got out of the nest and ended up 20ft from its mom and outside of the bunbarn. Dead. Ugh
Then Berry suddenly developed bad feet. Was sitting fully in the water bowls. Took her out to check on her, discovered the feet and had no milk, so, culled her out.

$21 in the red. Plus 16 in dog food & 6 poo bags for the garden at 24.

Currently $9 in the green.

6 meals ready to be fed out.
Continuing to use the big culls from the freezer. But heads, rear feet and tails are being removed and saved.

Hops & recent son(Tar) may have a buyer.
Just a quick comparison of Hops, Puddles(Hops×Vapor/Muddy) & Hops' recent daughter Flops(Tar).
Flops is replacing Hops.

Frosting & Chinny
Steely×Rew & Coral×Rew
Mutt is larger, but pure has great loin.

Looks like I named the Sky buck twice, Puffaroni and Puffins. Got him as Puffins in a few places, so will stick to that.

Need to name the Glitter doe. Bred to Puddles 3-4×, then Drizzle & Hops' buck. Maybe Glamor...

Berry×Trouble buck needs a name. Buggy.

And the Navy kits need names. Doe, Indigo. Buck, Inky.

Messing around. Poking, shoving, chopping hind changes pelvis position. Which changes the rest of the body. 😵‍💫
These just hate posing. Choc posed, but then wouldn't do it again for the camera. Ugh. The castor is still the winner.
Going to cull these soon, while fur is nice.

Got a busy weekend coming up, so updating before I get lost.
Pulled 5 buns from freezer to de-head, feet & tail, then feed to dog. He's chubby, so I need to split them into 2 meals each. So, it'll be 10 meals.

$54 in the  green. Plus 16 in dog food.

Currently $70 in the  green.



Updated the website. I've got way too many rabbits again...🫠 I hate this.
Bred the Glitter doe, so won't cull until we know if she kits ir not. If not, I'll just cull. Gotta look over others and decide on them.
