Fulton Show

Angora Row. There was quite a turnout.

Well, the Fulton show is one of the first for New Yorkers and there is always a big turnout, some 2,700 bunnies said the show committee. There were lots of English Angoras, over 30 if I calculated right. At least 9 junior bucks as everyone was saying it is a "buck year". That means a breeding season where no one gets any does and it seemed to be the case at this show. I have never seen so many junior bucks at a show before other than Convention. It was nice to see such a large class of bunnies of all colors, some beautiful agoutis from Canada and 3 black junior bucks in a variety of sizes.
I was happy to see Mr. Ashley, black senior buck, took BOV colored in show A. He is a sweet black buck with really dark color from Tulamore Farms. He is a breeding from their beautiful tort doe and a REW that she got from me. It seems to be a nice combination as the judge, Bob Shaftoe really seemed to like him. The rest of my group did well but are on the young side so it was hard to compete. Linda won a BIS in show B with her lovely colored senior doe, Glamor Gal.
The showroom is on a large lake and it was sunny and warm with a cool breeze. Just a perfect day for a show and fun was had by all. Thanks, Linda, for talking me into going.
