2016, what a year. Tears, smiles, laughter and fear. I lost some special rabbits this year, and I also gained some special rabbits this year. I traveled across the country with friends to compete at National Convention, and our team won. I had several rabbits, tried a new breed, got an angora. Geez. What a year. Lets go check out more details! ALL OF LAST YEARS INFO WILL BE IN [ ] BESIDE THIS YEARS
Money Spent: Roughly $901 [$630] (off the top of my head, may be missing a few small things and NOT counting convention trip) Money Made: $1855 [$590] (this is NOT counting convention donations) Lost: $0 [$40] Gained: $954 [$0] (As I was not counting convention in any of these totals, most of this money "gained" actually probably went to Convention, but if someone could tell me where the rest is, I'm listening) I've sold so many pets this year that I somehow made more then I spent, but I also purchased very few rabbits and just kept homegrowns. Also my grandparents are helping me by buying most of my feed/bedding, though I plan to start trying to do that more now that I have cages and nice rabbits. Holland Lop Litters: Babies Born Total: 80 [18] Babies Born Dead: 22 [4] Peanuts: 6 [2] Babies Weaned: 36 [6] Babies Died Before Weaning (not counting peanuts): 16 [6] Babies Died After/At Weaning: 1 [1] Total Babies Alive After Weaning: 35 [5] Babies Sold: 29 [3] Babies Kept: 6 (between grow outs and seniors) [2] Not bad at all, this really shows how strict I was on what I kept. I did just have a litter of 7 born, so did not add it into the weaning and such but did add it to the # of babies born total.

I've done a lot better this year then last year for sure. I'm very pleased with my achievements this year and how I've improved my rabbitry, how my sales have come and how my herd has improved.
