Well this might only last a couple of weeks, but we were pretty excited about some news regarding the girls. The NJWRC and MSYRBA have posted their sweepstakes and herdman standings.
NJWRC
The girls are #1 in herdsman points in the country! They are also #1 in sweepstakes in the country. Thats quite an accomplishment. We’ve been striving to be one of the best in herdsman. We haven’t really focused on sweepstakes. We don’t have enough rabbits, nor the money to attend as many shows as some of the other top breeders, so we’ve always felt sweepstakes was a little out of reach. Not only are the girls #1 in herdsman and #1 in sweepstakes but they also #2 in colored wool and #2 in white wool, as well as, #2 in wool points overall . They also have 3 of the top 11 rabbits in the nation, including 2 of the top 3. It probably won’t last long, but it sure is nice to see their name at the top of these lists.
MSRYBA
Of course, out focus is the same in the Michigan State Rabbit Youth Breeders Association. The girls are #4 overall in the state for quality points. Most suprising to us is they are also #1 overall in Michigan sweepstakes points . The girls’ recent surge with holland lops has probably helped them with that.
Again, not sure how long these standings will last, but it is stil exciting to us. CONGRATULATIONS Jessica and Taylor!
