Cherokee Flats

Here's our "planned" breeding schedule for the 2009 - 2010 Breeding Seasons.

Keep an eye on it as it may change as we go through the year.

Planned Breedings for 2008-2009

You will see that from Mid-June thru Early-Mid August we do not breed. We do this for several reasons:

The summer heat is very hard on the rabbits to begin with so, we do not like to stress them out more by breeding them
Two of our 3 breeds have ear lengh requirements and for all the breeds, a well furred, thick ear is preferred.
We have several shows during the Summer Months and do not like showing pregnant does (more than 14 days along)

**Typically the above rules apply however, rules are meant to be broken and with the seemingly cool summer, we have extended our breeding season.**

All breeding HIGHLIGHTED in RED have been completed. When they litter, I'll put something in the comments box.

Those breeding HIGHLIGHTED in GREEN will be Jrs for the county fairs in `09.

The breeding HIGHLIGHTED in PURPLE is our last breeding for Spring `09.
