Welcome to the NCTEC side of the house! We have two new residents!! Meet Bob and Larry, litter brothers and just 8 weeks old. (Bob is the B&W)
Needless to say, they have had a VERY warm reception and will fit in just fine.

I am always amazed by the interior of the eye. The natural and amazing beauty of something from the inside of a sheep. Nothing like an end of the year dissection wrap-up and a few shenanigans.

I’m terrible getting things posted. Today Barb Kurzowski came in to talk culling, standards, and production with our bunnies. Seniors had a refresher and juniors had great production and income earning lessons.
