Hazel & Calcite's Litter

In the end she raised 3 of her own kits & 1 that she fostered from Mossy Oak & Acro, that was born a day later. The first show these kits went to was when they were just barely 3 months old, just old enough to show. And the broken cream doe did very well - the judge said she would be a powerhouse when she gets older. She won grand champion for showmanship with her new owner. And the fawn buck that was fostered in won grand chamion of the whole show when shown by his new owner. Out of this litter 2 are in different parts of Oklahoma & the other 2 moved to Nebraska.

We fostered them to Daisy & she did a wonderful job of raising them. Daisy was depressed after she birthed a litter of all DOA, she was happy to raise these 3 bucks as her own. Everytime I would check on the kits she was concerned what I was doing with them but glad I wasn't taking them away from her.

And when the kits started getting out of the nest they were accidentlly stepped on. We lost some due to being stepped on & some due to getting too cold out of the box. She was a good mom once she caught on. Out of this litter 1 stayed in Oklahoma & the other moved to Kansas.

Laser & Acro's Litter
Born 5/16/15
Camera Theme Names
This litter was all solid. 1 doe & 4 bucks. All have sold. Laser is a very protective mom, sometimes too much. She was running back & forth in her cage and she stepped on the only doe in the litter. I didn't think the doe would survive but she did and she has gone to her new home. This litter will also carry chocolate, one of the bucks is a chocolate tort. The chocolate tort also has the body & ears to go with his color. He placed champion overall buck & reserve grand champion at his first show.

Hazel & Acro's Litter
Born 9/4/15
Cowboy Theme Names
This litter was all solid. 1 doe & 4 bucks. All have sold. Hazel is a great mom but raising this litter was tuff since our A/C went out. But she did a great job & raise all 5. I thought it was funny that all of the kits were black tort except for 1 buck that was a fawn. We are able to watch 2 of the bucks grow, which is always exciting. Out of this litter 1 stayed in Tulsa, 1 moved to Missiouri, & the others moved to Kansas.
Mossy Oak & Calcite's Litter
Born 11/20/15
Animal Theme Names
This litter had solid & broken. 1 doe & 1 buck. All have sold. This litter had a hard time at first because Mossy Oak was still not really understanding how to be a good mother. She doesn't mind having the babiesbut she doesn't really like nursing them. So they were co-raised with Ricochet's litter that was born 3 days later. I think it helped with milk production too. We loved how they both were turning out but couldn't keep them both. The buck moved to Kansas & we kept the broken black doe - B3E80 & named her Moo Cow.
Laser & HPR's Litter
Born 1/19/16
American Gladiator Theme Names
This litter was all solids. All have sold. This breeding was part of our chocolate line. There was black tort, chocolate tort, & lilac tort. Laser is still a protective mom. I thought at first I was going to have to remove the babies & take them to her for nursing time. Because she was sitting on them everytime it was time to check on them. But they were always happy & healthy with full bellies, so I let her raise them. Which she did a great job. Out of this litter 3 went to different parts of Missiouri & 1 went to Kansas.
Ricochet & Taser's Litter
Born 11/23/15
Dessert Theme Names
This litter was all solids. 2 does & 2 bucks. All have sold. I was very excited about this litter since the parents are part of our choclate program. I was very protective of this litter since Ricochet over groomed her last litter. So I took the kits to her for the feedings. Her litter was also raised with Mossy Oak's litter. They co-raised the litters. I think that helped with their milk production. 1 moved to Tulsa and we kept the other 3: chocolate doe - B3E83 - named her Ganache, chocolate buck - B3E82 - named him Fondue and lilac doe - B3E84 - named her Praline.
Remington & Calcite's Litter
Born 1/20/16
Rhyming Theme Names
This litter had solid & broken. 2 does. All have sold. Remington is a great mom with large litters or small. We were excited with how these 2 does were looking by 3 months old. We had a hard time deciding which doe to keep. We picked the broken black because we needed more broken patterns in our herd. She has been doing well on the show tables, as well as her sister we sold. Out of this litter 1 stayed with us in Oklahoma & the other moved to Missiouri.
Mossy Oak & Acro's Litter
Born 4/12/16
Nut Theme Names
This litter was all solids. 2 does & 3 bucks. All have sold. This was Mossy's 3rd litter & she still needed help raising this litter. She's not sure what she thinks about the whole nursing thing. She accidentally kicked the opal buck & made him bleed. After that happened I decided she needed some help to prevent any further injuries. The opal buck required some TLC for a little bit after the accident but he made a full recovery. We kept both of the does: opal - B3E95 & named her Pistachio and fawn - B3E96 & named her Cashew. Out of this litter 2 stayed with us in Oklahoma, 2 went to different parts of Kansas, & 1 went to Missouri.
