Wyoming?

Definantly might be interested. Is that an Otter Netherland in the background?

 

[cherndon712]

LOL Yes, just brought it home for a friend. He's gone now. I do have Mini Rex, Flemish, Hollands, and Lionheads too. My son shows in the ARBA shows!

I can hatch to order too, so if you'd like some let me know!

My daughter and I have mini-rex, holland lops, ,New Zealands, Netherlands (I have black otter and blue otter) and satins. I have one lionhead. I started to try and raise them but it was too hard and expensive to get any around here so I gave up. We show a
ARBA but don't get to as many shows as I would like to. We also show and raise Alpine and Lamancha dairy goats.

That's neat! We travel to CO for most of our shows, usually one a month. There's actually one here in Casper in June though! First time in YEARS!! What colors of MR and HL do you have? I flew my foundation stock in from CA, paid an arm and a leg but it was worth it!
I think I had Lamancha goats once (are they the short eared ones?) but the billy was a butt!

 

[jambunny]

I have black and tortoise hollands. Black, white, castor, and chin mini rex. Yes the lamanchas are the ones with short ears. The alpines are my favorites but I'm stuck until my daughter moves out. I take it you live in southern Wyo. Most of our minis come out of Montana and where ever my friend in Lovell gets hers. There is a show in Laramie, Cheyenne, Evanston, and Douglas this year also. We did get a nice mr from a family in Laramie at the Douglas show last year. What colors do you have?

We have tort HL. Castor GC MR Buck (except my son let him out accidentally and my flemish took a bite out of his ear), REW, BEW (work in progress) and Black and Broken Black MR, Orange & Agouti LionHeads, and Lt Grey Flemish. Oh, I have an angora too, but she is the only one as I'm really allergic to rabbits and her fur is just too much !
We live in Casper, so most of the shows we go to are in CO because my SO family lives there. We've never been to a show in WY except for Cheyenne, which we make it to every time! We're due in Castlerock next weekend, Cheyenne in May, Casper in June, etc etc. My son is doing 4H this year, so we'll be showing at the fair in July, rabbits and poultry. I'm assuming the Douglas one is the State Fair? I honestly don't even know where Evanston is (never been there) but Laramie could be do-able for us, depends on the weather!
I'm so glad to have found more people here in WY! I've become good friends with Lori in Douglas, and we're doing a joint hatching/selling venture. It's been a lot of fun!

If you ever end up with any BEW for sale for sure let me know. My daughter has been dying to get one. Evanston is in the far west corner of the state right before Utah. I live just outside of Sheridan so I really am not that far away. I take it you are not from Wyoming? I have met more neat people doing my animal projects than any other group of people I have worked with.

LOL No, the sad sad thing is I've lived here my whole life! I was born in Glenrock, and moved to Casper when I was 4. I just either go straight to Billings or through Cheyenne. Thermop, of course, and sometimes Gillette, but that's about it! I go through Sheridan a lot though!!
I had shipped in a BEW buck from CA, which was pricey, and he was STERILE! So, my castor buck is a VC, so I'm working with that to get my BEW. He's a way better buck anyway!
I've met some great people doing ARBA and 4H too. I have some good friends in CO who show rabbits, and it's nice to know people in different states! LOL Like I said, I've lived here for 26 years, and I really don't know many people... Guess my animals are enough for me!

What line are your MR's out of? If I do any duck buying I would also be interested in some Japanese. I lived in Casper for a short while. Periodically I have to go down and work at one of the Long Term Care facilities when they are in a bind. I would love to see some sort of poultry trade/auction in a centrally located area in Wyoming. I went to Boise Idaho (actually Caldwell) for shows and auctions a few times and it was so much fun. Plus I got some great birds.

 

[cherndon712]

My MR are out of Berlena's Place. Most of their backgrounds are EZDae's, Comparts, Buresh's, and Maximus. REALLY good lines on the west side of the US. I had paid for some from Legend Rabbitry, but she had an outbreak of rabbit syphillis and eye infections, and I've been due a refund for 2 months now. Getting slightly irritated with that!
The only shows I've been to poultry wise are in CO. We have family there, so it's easier!
