Best In Show - Sedalia, MO 3/10/12
Sierra won BIS for show #1 and RIS for show #2 (with a different rabbit). Here she is shown with her black senior doe Knight's Charcoal and judge Tex Thomas who judged show #1. The Youth in Ag Show was a huge success with a very high turnout. It is a fundraiser show that goes back into youth awards for their fair. The BIS awards were beautiful homemade lamps by judge David Kroenke.
Sierra wins Best 4-Class Rabbit with her black junior buck named Dakota and then goes on to win Reserve in Show in the Story County Fair 4-H show in July 2011 - the judge was Bobbi Coats.
It definitely was a hot time in the old town of Afton, Iowa during the Union County Fair Youth Rabbit Show. Here Sierra is pictured with her broken castor Best in Show rabbit named FLAME - judge was Brent Rice.
Sierra's second ever Best in Show with Judge Todd Naragon at the Nebraska Tower on the Plains Easter Show in Crete, Nebraska 4/23/11. The rabbit, Wonder Woman is out of a Broadfoot doe (Jamey) and a Maple Kelly buck (DEAL).
Sierra's first Best in Show with Knight's Flower and Judge Mike Avesing
MVRBA Spring Show in De Witt, Iowa 3/6/11
This win was especially exciting because we bred Knight's Flower from a broken Broadfoot doe (GC B548 - AKA "Jamey") and a black buck Lowe's Ace in the Hole "Grixby". We hope she will "keep it together" for a few more spring shows and then become our new top black brood doe!
2010 National ARBA Convention and Show
Sierra took 10 animals to show and 6 placed high in their respective classes. The four most notable wins include BOSV Chocolate with her chocolate senior doe "Knight's Kiss", a class win in the black junior doe class with "Knight's Flower", a 5th place (out of 34!) in the senior broken buck class with "Broadfoot's B662" (AKA Elmo), and a 4th place in the senior black buck class with "Briallu's Rock Solid". What a great learning experience for us as we head into our second year of showing and breeding high quality mini rex rabbits.
Sierra with Knight's Kiss BOSV Chocolate at 2010 ARBA Nationals
Kiss is a great little doe out of GC Missy's Brownie and BC Mira. She gets the judges attention at all the shows we go to but there are rarely enough chocolates to compete and she can't quite seem to beat the blacks and brokens for BOB!!! We plan on showing her early this coming spring and then she will hopefully become a foundation animal in our chocolate breeding program.

One Year Anniversary Show a Smashing Success!!
The Waterloo Cattle Congress Rabbit Show in 2009 marked the beginning of our venture into the world of the mini rex rabbit. One year later a the 2010 Cattle Congress Show we realized how blessed we are and how far we have come in these long/short 12 months. This year Sierra showed both the BOB and BOS in the youth show!!! The BOS rabbit, B662 (aka Elmo) is a very handsom broken black buck from the Broadfoot's Rabbitry. The BOB rabbit, Knight's Live Wire, is a white doe we raised from an awesome Maple Kelly doe and a great buck from Sarah Lewis (via Caleb Burke). The mating was one suggested by Caleb - Thanks Caleb! Live Wire went on to win Best 4-Class Rabbit in Youth!!!
