All Breed Show -
BEST IN SHOW 🎉🎉 with BB’s “Strawberry Jelly” her shaded jersey wooly

Several of her junior Hollands & Mini Rex from the Hero Series made their debut and represented Officer Dawson well picking up a few 1st places & she had great comments about their potential

This girl puts in so many hours. It is a rare night that she gets back up to the house before midnight😵‍💫🥹 and yes i still expect straight A’s cause priorities come before priedges & hobbies. No she doesnt get enough sleep but this is her last full calendar year that will go on her college resumes. She set some goals for herself before cutting WAAAAY back on showing rabbits next year for some new challenges & experiences before HS is over.

After having carlie give me the weekend placings, it stood out to me, that everyone of these are BolingBabiesRC’s homegrown BB buns☺️. Im hard on my kids and dont tell em enough, but im so proud of this kid for what shes pulled off. She has a great eye for breeding and has always loved the people & the challenge of breeding for quality and making her lines better & really loves color and the added challenge of creating one that can compete on a show table. I’ve been watching her build her jerseys since 3rd grade. There are so many great yourh breeders & Quality buns on tge table at Nationals so we feel very blessed to have 3 of her buns on Best of Breed table and to have her friends, family & Dave all here with her was very special; icing on the cake.

Congrats to all the kids and open exhibitors this weekend & BIG TY to everyone whos encouraged Carlie & been along for this journey with her.❤️

Hands down Carlie’s 2 Fav buns in the barn are A Star is Born & Strawberry Jelly. This doe is special. Sadly, she blew her coat at Ft Worth Stock Show & then got 2nd at Houston with NO guard hairs on her back to the BOB winner. Her hairs isn’t completely back for Nationals but Carlie was VERY excited for Dave and others to see her girl before we breed her again🥰. It’s all about the babies.

So much more than a hobby🥰
I absolutely love seeing kids succeed. Esp when they come from behind. I happen to meet Sarah’s momma & Aunt this time last year at mini Rex nationals. A total God thing!!

Long story short, Carlie really wanted to work on a himi program and started to but she had a really great doe & no buck. We hoped to find her something at nationals but Sat morning tragedy hit a friend so looking at rabbits never crossed our mind. By Sunday, all avail were gone so I asked around for anyone who has nice ones?? I know ZERO about a MR or what hers needed but Carlie knows all that, she just needed to meet anyone who spoke the same “MR” language. Someone told me to talk to “The Twins” 🤷🏼‍♀️

Well, there was only one set of twins so I took a shot. It was at the END of the show and most people were packed to leave but I was just hoping to meet someone with info, lead, get on a radar, a mentor for Carlie??? Anything would be a win at that point. What I got was SO MUCH MORE!!🥰🙏🏻

I told Caci& Hannah my kiddo was needing a himi buck for her doe and she started speaking mini Rex to me 😳😵‍💫… peek forward/backward, drop, coat😵‍💫😵‍💫… may as well be Chinese cause I don’t spoke that either. I scooted Carlie up there and she spoke for herself. Caci had Carlie go get her doe and they proceed to look and speak while I stood there looking stupid but hoping Carlie was learning something or at least making a friend & mentor who knew what she needed and would have an eye out for us. NOPE… what I got was beyond anything I’d imagined. Caci walked away and left. She had already packed up her himi buck who had won himi’s at nationals that weekend but went out to her car and unpacked that buck and brought him on to breed to my daughters Doe, a kid she JUST met. We only got one Falloff & it didn’t take but that was never gonna be the point for me!! Everything I ever needed to know about “The Twins” was already laid out for me. They selflessly help children with nothing to gain for themself. Not any kid but my 14 year old that had been heartbroken over recent events & losses & no longer had a buck for this doe she loved & a himi project that had become dead before it really got started. When we left that day, Carlie started speaking peeks to me again … I asked for ENGLISG PLEASE🙄 and she said, “If I could pick a Perfect Buck to complement her, it’d be that buck”. 🥰.

Character is who you are when no one is looking & id be a fan of “The Twins” from then forward. Well we become friends and I find out that Caci’s daughter, Sarah, has a few hollands when they come to Holland Lop Nationals In Texas. Well Sarah’s hollands aren’t great and her momma is now in that place I know well… how can I help get her started that doesn’t spend her college fund and she needs mentorship. 🧐🙌🏻 I look at Caci and say, “well, you might know someone.” 😂.

Finally a MR friendship that isn’t one sided. I can finally help pay it forward and Sarah is amazing! Carlie loves kids & helping & mentoring & so do I. It’s hard to believe it’s only been a year. This kiddo went from first OFF to hanging in there to the end and already these juniors are making some waves. A great herd buck is always key!! I hope we get them their own to breed & show if she doesn’t already have one growing out. Not cause I care about breeding ours to her does but so she can breed when she wants too since we live states apart. ;(

I hope so bad for her buns to show out at Nationals. It’s such hard competition so these things can go any direction. (Unless your rabbit has no hair, then we know how it’s going!🤯). But I hope yall look for Sarah and say hello. She’s shy but she is DEFINATELY working hard and her first & 2nd gen’s are impressive! I’m over the moon for this family and feel so blessed by their friendship.

Twin Falls Rabbitry
God planted yall in our life in his perfect timing! I always recognize his stamp on things in my life. Esp when a door is closing & I’m mentoring my kids to lean into their faith. “Give it to God” & there yall were 🥹. Ty!

Today we stayed close to home.
Gardner, KS Kaw Valley Club
Today was Sarah's turn to shine. She had BOB with Twin Falls Eros and BOS with Twin Falls Hera both junior littermates we can't thank Bolingbabiesrc for all their help to get Sarah some hollands to show!

Also Eagle landed another BOS
Congratulations to all the winners today!

If you have hollands then you want to join the national club, Holland Lop Rabbit Specialty Club, HLRSC. That membership does several things but one is to get our club magazine quarterly, The Hollander.

It post sweeps and pictures of events but also has REALLY great articles written by our Open & Youth zone directors on a different topic each issue. These subjects cover from rabbit health/care, breeding, rabbitry design to getting ready for big shows. These are NUGGETS of gold from top breeders & youth with amazing mentors. All together you get decades of experience in this magazine🥰. (Wish they could tell us how to NOT blow coats before the BIGGEST shows of the year…🙄)

This edition shows the 2024 ending totals for sweeps, Toplop, HERDSMAN, quality; etc. God graced BolingBabies with another good year. Our rabbitry goal for several years has been herdsman & Toplop standings. To have your rabbitry producing multiple rabbits that can win BOB & BOSB is one marker we look for & to be sharing these wins means dividing toplop points but still have as many home grown hollands on the Toplop list is another blessing we never ignore. For us, It speaks to the consistency of quality the girls are reproducing. If we stop hitting these markers, we feel like we’d need to evaluate our breeding program.

Shelbie aged out & Carlie is rounding out her sophmore year so the girls are close the end of a wonderful chapter in our life🥹. Still some time left so we plan to chew the fat till all the flavor is gone and enjoy EVERY opportunity to see our friends & make more memories before the last kiddo leaves us for college😭😭. Plan on Jell-O shots & big hugs every time yall see us!

Congrats to ALL the amazing Holland Breeders, Open & Youth, rabbitries big & small. This club rocks & 2024 was the year of the Holland Lop as Evidence by our 2024 National Convention BEST IN SHOW winner… Fancy’s Marilyn Bunroe🎉🎉. Way to represent LaTaya & Kim Prato👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 what a year!
