| This "business" is another interest that I started out sharing with our daughter Glenna. When she and her brother were younger we spent many a weekend traveling the neighboring states showing rabbits . Our rabbitry originally started with a trio of Jersey Wooly, but then I found a trio of French Angora at a show and was hooked for life! Not only did the wonderful breeder sell me the rabbits, she spent all day teaching me how to spin with a drop spindle! Needless to say, she is a friend for life; the rabbits became a permanent fixture at our farm; and I developed an avid interest in a whole new hobby! |

| Since that day, we've bred to improve our rabbits. Successful in developing quality bodies and quality wool, we also work on developing docile dispositions. I want to always have rabbits that children and adults can handle safely. |
| Glenna still has an interest in the rabbits, but her work schedule prevents her from attending shows. Dwain's interest is now the United States Marine Corps! However in 2010 I returned to the show circuit on the "open" table. The years we've spent breeding selectively have been rewarded with success! I have attended shows at about 6 locations and have been well satisfied with the results! B40B has earned several Grand Champion leg certificates and at this time we have "granded" 3 rabbits. I've met new (to me) angora enthusiasts and have reconnected with friends of the past. I have some litters due soon (December 4, 2010) that should generate some very competitive juniors come next spring. Feel free to contact me if you are interested in purchasing any--I'm sure we'll have extras! |
