Nationals anyone?

[lonelyfarmgirl]

Well, nationals entries are in, the entry window is closed. Anyone else going?

[PulpFaction]

I am, but I'm still nailing down details. Still looking for a ride from Memphis to Indy and a room share situation, if you know of anyone!

I'll be there. Have 6 Silver Fox entered. You will be able to find me most of the week at the Silver Fox booth. Come on in and introduce yourselves! My name is Jo

I will only be there on tuesday and wednesday. I entered 9. 3 mini-rex, 1 rex, and 5 tans. I will see if I can find you.

What color tans did you enter?

[lonelyfarmgirl]

4 blacks and one chocolate. I have a blue doe that could have gone, but she has some pee stain on her rump. I dont have lilacs right now. A few of the tans I entered are on the for sale page on my site, the chocolate, and one of the blacks.

I checked out your web page -- you have some nice Tan's! I'm trying to get my herd started and currently have a Black doe & buck and Chocolate doe. My doe kindled a black buck and lilac doe about 2 months ago. Mine are from Shutz lines out of NY, and have some D&J in there backgrounds. Good luck at the nationals

That explains why you got a lilac. Morgan Shultz has a lot of blue in her lines.
Some of the older D&J stuff does also, but she got out of blues and now only focuses on black and chocolate.
If you want to be successful with tans, you need to decide what colors you want to focus on and breed for those. Simply breeding random animals together with no regard for color genetics will lighten your tan factor and introduce frosting in the armpits. You don't want that. You did get your animals from good people to start with. Its a fun breed.

I really like the blues, but they are hard to come by, and the one blue buck I do have, I am not happy with. He actually came from Jodi (D&J) and has a great pedigree. Ya win some, ya lose some, I guess.
