[Pictured: Flynn's Woodstock - Black Junior Buck - Best in Show @ Stonebelt RBA] On Sunday I judged my first show of the fall season in Franklin, Indiana. I had intended originally to leave everyone at home. In the end I left most of the Tans home that had been shown the prior weekend and opted to allow a (mostly) new group to gain some table experience. A big thanks to Chance and Treasa for showing my rabbits for me while I judged! Best in Show and Best of Breed was Flynn's Woodstock - Black Junior Buck. This was this buck's first show. Best Opposite of Breed was Flynn's Ophelia - Black Junior Doe. I showed one chocolate and had BOV with Flynn's Cleopatra. Next show: ARBA Convention in San Diego (...but I've said that once before!).

The Indiana State Convention show last weekend was my first show since Ohio Mini Convention. I had BOB in all four shows. On Saturday I won with Flynn's Cleopatra (chocolate junior doe) under Brad Boyce and Flynn's Ophelia (black junior doe) under Josh Humphries. On Sunday I won both shows with Flynn's Supersonic (black junior buck) under Tex Thomas and Phil Woolet. While the BOB winners flip flopped a bit from show to show, the class placings were consistent across the board with these four great judges.
Next show: ARBA National Convention in San Diego, CA in October...
Congratulations to Morgan Barba for winning the youth giveaway contest this year. Morgan will pick up a breeding pair of Tans from me at the ARBA National Convention in San Diego, CA in about a month. Morgan's winning essay is available here.
