A heavy heart here this afternoon in a time of renewal.

“Be though diligent to know the state of thy flocks and look well to thy herds.

For riches are not forever; and doth the crown endure to every generation? Proverbs 27:23-24

Our rabbit herd is a carefully built herd with a handful of bucks used as a cornerstone. Last fall we lost Star City, and today her littermate brother, Mark, was found dead in his cage at feeding time tonight. He was fine this morning – but none of us are guaranteed another tomorrow. Still, he’s provided some nice animals for the next generation. We have a buck that didn’t sell yet that is now off the sale list, with some very big paws to fill.

Many of the young does we kept are his daughters, so going forward he will contribute heavily in the future as well. They’ll be bred to Half Time, Bargain, Wine & Dine and a new buck, to be added this year.

For just a minute we’ll remember a solid cornerstone. He’ll be missed.Our regular viewers remember his escape, and he ‘starred’ in our five minute break grazing in the crate in front. He was an incredible buck.
