-Grand a homegrown pair - I've granded rabbits before. I've granded homegrowns, but I've never had a homegrown X a homegrown to breed that were both granded. My hopes are to grand two rabbits who haven't yet qualified, but it still counts if I only get a buck to go with Veyla.
-Keep all records and expense up to date - This one's going to be harder than the first. I have a good record system, it's just all about staying on top of it. I will start fresh with a new spreadsheet for my expenses.
-Develop Tan Pattern Program - I have a pair, sitting, waiting to be bred, but I have not had the space to do it yet. I always push one last doe in front of the pair. Nala is 8 months old and not going to wait much longer to get bred. I hope to get a couple of litters, sell my starter stock, and be breeding Tan Babies into my shaded stock (which is already developed body wise) by next fall.
-Set a culling Standard - My mom would always be in a rush to sell rabbits as soon as they're weaned. She had it in her mind that we can make our final decisions at this tender age. It's finally set in that we need to keep space to grow out 1-2 babies per litter. I hope to figure out a practice that works for me.
We'll check these back in a year!
