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!
