Located in Northern Illinois, I have been breeding rabbits for more than 14 years. I started with mini rex and added jersey woolies about 10 years ago. The jerseys won my heart and have pretty much taken over the rabbitry. I play with just about every color, but really love the aov's. I am a member of ARBA, WSRBA, IRBA, and NJWRC. I have two sons who also enjoy the rabbit habit and show at our County Fair. I try to attend most of the shows in the Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin area. Here you see a picture of my G.C. doe, SM's Summer Breeze. This picture was taken the day she won Best Overall Wooly in March 2009, at the Great Plains Jersey Wooly Club show in Jefferson WI. Thank you, Gayle Beirau.
This is Picture Perfect my homebred rew doe that won me my first BIS. She won this at Peoria. What a doe, way to go Perfcet. Lots of hugs and kisses for her on that day. She was the picture of perfection. Perfect also ended up being 4th place jersey wooly of the year for 2005. She is a Showtime baby and out of TMHB's Buffy.
Just had to add this pic to my site. This is Rolling Hill's Flashdance. Flashdance won BOB for me on March 11th at the Badger show in Jefferson WI. Terri Erb took and then sent me this pic of her at the show. I thought this was too cute not to add to my site. It looks like this little girl had her own opinion of her win, or maybe she just doesn't like having her picture taken, LOL. Either way it was just too cute and I just had to add this one. Thanks, Terri for this awesome picture. I love it. Email: gbeirau@aol.com
