NARBC, Inc Specialty Show

Mid America Angora Club is very honored to host the National Angora Rabbit Breeders Club, Inc Specialty Show on April 5th, 2008 in Sedalia, Missouri. The show will be held at the Rabbit Building on the Missouri State Fairgrounds.

You don't show rabbits? Well that isn't a problem as there will be a wool/skein/garment contest as well as a raffle. There will also be an area set up for those who want to bring their spinning wheels and just 'sit and spin'.

The show is being held in conjunction with the Midwest Trailblazers Rabbit Club so you should see all of the various breeds recognized by the American Rabbit Breeders Association.

Looking forward to seeing you in Sedalia!

Breeding Calendar for 2008

As many of you know I schedule my breedings according to the signs of the Zodiac taught to me by my father. While some of you may not be believers, when I first started breeding angoras I thought I was going to have to change my rabbitry name to Bucks r Us. After talking with my father he explained to me I was breeding in the wrong signs. He taught me about the breeding signs, not only regarding the higher percentage for bucks or does but also those that influenced the quality of the animal. Thus, I have been breeding by the signs ever since. For those interested, here are the dates for 2008!
