Appalachian Rain
Appalachian Rain

Still exhausted just from trying to get my website up and a couple of rabbits ready to take to the show-- and now it is going to SNOW again!
Keeping up with the blog isn’t that bad until I want the right picture to go with the day or the idea. On the group site, we are talking about culling again-- it is a highly personal and touchy subject, with strong feelings on all facets, but I think I want to touch n some major points and also go over some ideas about wool quality and again-- the problems I am having with grooming for show... and maybe with pictures :)
Oh, I got up there and it was raining-- or sleeting, and there were two dead mice in the chicken feed bin, where the level got too low for them to get out, I guess. I gave them to the chickens to eat LOL
and I did very little grooming-- I cleaned up two more “pet quality” angoras for sale.
I can only hope the coats will come in better; they were matted to the skin-- the worst kind of wool. I can not tolerate getting skin and still not getting all the mat. I clean it close as possible without cutting the rabbit-- I can not handle nicking them. It gets so hard when the mats are so close. This type of matting can be caused by high humidity, the rabbit getting wet, rolling in wet stuff, and or wallowing with another rabbit-- none of which I ever saw -- or a high amount of cottony wool.
it’s raining now
I want to open the window so I can hear it
