A learning lesson
Mood:  happy
Now Playing: WEIB 106.3 fm
Sometimes it just pays to look.

I've been accused by Marcy of being the Evil Buck Maven (and I do *love* that title! ). She blames me for Loretta turning into a buck.

But sometimes, you just have to look.

Rocky is a red buck that I got from another breeder. He came here with the idea that I would be trying to breed for red rabbits. That never happened, and I decided that it was time for Rocky to move on to a home where he would be used in a breeding program. Suzanne, who has Moshi Moshi from here, said that she would like to have him. So yesterday, in anticipation of Rocky going to Suzanne's house, I started to clip Rocky down. Now, Deanna has always done the clipping on Rocky, which is why I hadn't notice this before; Rocky only has one testicle! That certainly isn't suitable for breeding, since it is genetic, and can be passed on to future litters.

So now Star, who is my sable colored shearing demo buck, will be going to live at Suzanne's house, and will be having a rendezvous with Moshi. All of Star's equipment is there, and he'll be a nice addition to their household, as he is very gentle, and sweet.

I will miss Star, but know he's going to a good home where he will recieve lots of love and attention.
