2014 has been, what I would call, my best production year ever since my return to the rabbit hobby in 2010. I have been faced with tough choices when keeping jrs out of my litters. That's not a bad thing! I have looked back and seen how my breeding has progressed and improved, and I cant be more than pleased to take this next step forward.
At the launch of our new website, many of you, whom have frequented our old site, will notice a huge change in our current herd. The biggest change would be easy for anyone to notice. Simply put, its mostly juniors in our current herd. Not to mention, most of the herd is all GML bred. Exciting! Right? Yes & No. Letting go of many of my foundation stock has been a difficult choice. Knowing my goals, and what I want to accomplish with this breed, I had to do it if I was going to get anywhere near those goals and move forward. It left me with their offspring along with both hope and fear that their kids mature into just as nice, if not better animals than their parents. For the most part, these kids are first generation GML animals, however, there are a handful that are 3rd and even 4th generations. Most have at least one Grand Champion parent. Progress that is for sure. But am I ready to take this leap and bound ahead to build my own line? Show my only my own bred animals? Can I hold myself back from buying anything new? I guess only time will tell. I am definitely excited to get these kids on the show table, watch them mature, and for the first time ever attend the 2015 ARBA Nationals with animals I have bred! 2015 is going to hold many ups and downs for me as I face this change. Stay tuned and watch as GML advances to the next phase! |
