Broken English Angora

When I was at ARBA Convention, there were very nice Broken English Angoras. As everyone already knows, unfortunately, they did not pass presentation. However, my understanding is that NAME vowed to continue her work and not give up. It is admirable to see her dedication and determination to continue her many years work and not faulter.

Below is a very nice and cute Broken Black English Angora buck that I got from a friend of mine. She had purchased him some time ago, but decided she could no longer keep him. I took him in with my herd as our pet, since I thought he looked so cute and because he is so friendly. Needless to say, I decided to let his wool grow and it is turning out very nice. Now, I just need to blow the coat and groom him during daylight hours, because I did not do a good job as I wanted to. However, the pictures were improptu and for demonstration purposes of this cute baby. Overall, I plan to take him to shows for exhibition purposes and show the beautiful color of Broken English Angoras.

News on Grand Champion Leg for RIS

As I browsed through the NARBC Winter 2011 Newsletter, under the Board of Directors meeting there is a section that talked about..."ARBA is considering awarding a Grand Champion Leg, for Reserve in Show..."

I decided to check the ARBA site, as I normally do and under the news section, this information was publised:

THE FOLLOWING REVISION TO THE ARBA SHOW RULES IS EFFECTIVE February 1, 2012:



Section 10. It shall be mandatory to select the Best Rabbit and/or Cavy in Show. All Best In Show animals shall be awarded a Grand Champion leg, provided all requirements are met. If they are selected at a show, ARBA Legs will be awarded for Reserve in Show, Best 4 Class or Best 6 Class provided the minimum requirements of 3 exhibitors and 5 animals are met.

This is good news for all ARBA members. Now, perhaps the NARBC will address giving bonus sweepstakes points for those who receive Reserve In Show placement.

A new beginning for Road To Angora Rabbitry

We have been blessed with 4 chubby REW babies! Finally, we are getting back on track and pretty soon we will be in the show circuit again. These babies are out of RTA lines and Silvertone.

Rabbit Show (we couldn't attend)

Blacklands Prairie RBA hosted a Double Open and Youth Shows Saturday, in Waxahachie, Texas, January 13 & 14, 2012.


Unfortunately, RTA could not attend. However, we wish all our friends lots of luck in the show, especially Sasha McPhearson, Dana Faber, and Kelly, whom are showing english and satin angoras!

New Look

I've been thinking so much about creating and updating my webpage. However, I decided to revamp my blog, instead. I am hoping to get back to blogging often, and not neglect it too much.

Thus far, this is the new look.
