Random Thoughts

  In April of 2011, I applied for and got the COD for Black Gold Tipped Steel Mini Satins! 

This will be an exciting endeavor!            

Thanks to Wade Burkhalter for offering to work with me, and for selling me some proven broodstock!

******************

Mini Satin sweeps for 2010-2011 have ended, not sure what my standings will be.  I expect to be well outside the Top Ten in most categories due to cutting back shows since January.

It's odd, because I feel my herd has many more good quality animals now/  I have high expectations for my chins and my whites at Convention in Indy.

When I first got my Mini Satins, I was considering discontinuing my Holland Lops altogether.  I got through my difficulties with the Hollands at that time and they remain my main focus.

Our area, OK, KS, MO, AR, TX and NE, is a hot bed of awfully good Mini Satins from experienced breeders.  I am very pleased with the success I have had, considering the very stiff competition I encounter on a regular basis.

I find that Mini Satins are quite easy to breed, cull and grow. 

This is a hardy breed with rarely less than six in a litter.
