8/27/11, NYS Fair Old Timers Show

The NYS Fair is almost 2 weeks long, & the rabbits stay the duration. The show is usually held on Saturday & Sunday, but since Hurricane Irene was expected on Sunday, all the rabbits were judged on Saturday, & cavies were judged on Sunday.

Mary’s American chin Jr Buck (#F2LI3) won Best of Breed!

FR Tender Trap (FSB7) won Best of Variety for Lilac MiniRex.

All the rabbits were sold by the end of the show, so no pictures were taken.

8/16/11 Open Rabbit Show at the Herkimer County Fair

I won Best in Show with F2B1, Blue MiniRex Buck! He has since been registered as FR Blue Lei.

Mary’s entered American chins. They received:

Jr Doe FS4 won BOB. She has since been named FR Trillium, & moved to Oregon.
Jr Buck FS1 won BOS. He has since been named FR Wakerobin.

The MiniRex that received Blue Ribbons were:

Black MR Sr Doe (F11) - Her age was Jr, but her weight was Sr.
FR GEF Tender Trap (FSB7) - Lilac MR Sr Buck. He was sold to Frasier's, so I didn't get a picture.
Black Otter MR Jr Buck (F13)
Blue Otter MR Jr Doe (F14) - She has since been sold.

5/27/11 FR Lola (FC1) had 7 of Young's Indiana Thornton's kits

One of these has a problem with it's eye. The pupil is not centered in the iris, & it looks like he's crosseyed.

Took a buck (F2LI3) and the Doe (FLI6) to the NY State Fair. The Buck won BOB, the doe was DQ'd because of mismatched toenails. The pair was sold to Margaret Burdick.

8/21 Took the cross-eyed buck to the processor.

10/9 Sold F2LI2 & F2LI5 at King's auction. F2LI2 was the smallest buck in the litter, & F2LI5 did the worst at the shows.
