The VIRBA show in Victoria has now passed and I have finally warmed up! It is always a cold weekend, however we had beautiful blue, cold, crisp skies.
There were three Mini lop shows, two open and one specialty. I was a bit disappointed that the judges didn't weigh more of the rabbits. Mini lops are really hard to keep within the weight range of max. 6.08lbs. Most of the over-sized animals were allowed to go through. However, there was very nice size classes and good competition in all the shows which made it fun to watch.
Show A: Mini Lops: Mitchell's Jasmine my broken lilac sr. doe won BOV. I had good comments on many of my other animals.
Silver Martens: Mitchell's Tori a beautiful blue sr doe won BOV,BOB. Mitchell's Twitch my blue sr buck won BOSV,BOS
Californians: I entered three very young juniors for comments.
Show B:Mini Lops: Mitchell's Button my broken black jr doe placed BOSV, Mitchell's Jasmine placed top of her class - broken sr. doe.
Silver Martens: Mitchell's Tori again took BOV, BOB but this show Mitchell's Twin my other blue sr. buck took BOSV, BOS
Californians: My three very young juniors held their own with the junior buck placing 1st in his class and one of the does placing 4th against animals much older.
Mini lop Specialty: My animals didn't take any top winnings in this show however 6 of my 7 animals placed either 2nd, 3rd or 4th in their classes.
The main downfall with my Mini lop placings is that most of my animals were down in condition due to either just coming in or out of a molt. Not sure why everybody decided to molt this early, the Silver Martens and Cals had excellent coats.
I look forward to the April show in Duncan. Many of my seniors will be bred or raising litters but I have a few juniors that will be ready to show.
