There was an add on Used Victoria last week about this really nice person who needed to find a barn home/farm home for his cat. Autumn(or Kitty) bites and doesn't let go, and scratches as well. She is definetly a cat with attitude. He dropped her off at the barn this morning and right away her and Bear got in a huge fight. We sorted that out(a few new holes in my feet) and she was one unhappy cat for a little while. We gave her food/water/bed right next to the barn under the tree so she doesn't need to go in the barn if she doesn't want too. Hopefully this works out as I think she will really like all the wandering and exploring she can do around the farm!
I will get pics of her in the next day or so.
We spent yesterday morning before it got hot going through every rabbit we felt we should sell, including brood does. A couple of the does I would love to keep but we want to get down to 62 holes instead of 76.. So we had to make some hard, hard decisions! Plus, we are keeping daughters or sons from each doe we are selling.
We are very excited for 7 upcoming litters over the next week. Penny, Cocaine and Butterball are all due tomorrow. Godiva and Midnight on Friday, and Portia on Saturday then the following week Sara is due! In August we will breed Audrey and Ocean Pearl and maybe a few others. We are going to try to have 2-5 litters a month so we always have something to show. Ocean is a first timer, and Audrey will be going to her new home after one more litter.
We broke down what we can keep in 62 holes..
8 bucks- we are maxed out!!
25 does- we are maxed out!!
29 Juniors- I think we have 4-5 empty spots, but that is with all the youngest litters having to stay 2 per cage for 3-4 months. We are keeping those extra holes empty incase they don't get along. Some of those juniors will go into the senior categories as well, so it will all work out but boy tough decisions!!
