Saturday was a long day.
Took 15 rabbits to their new home in Illinois today. Sara is restarting her meat herd, and it felt good getting them settled in while a new lean-to is going up.
While I was away, I got the news that Cindy had passed.
She gave me one last strong litter, one doe in IL, and a Tricolor I kept . I had planned to give her a well-earned rest—but Cindy had her own timing.
The night before, she was exactly as she’d always been—gentle and social, coming up for long head pats, and visiting with Kranitz just an hour before he found her. She was stretched out between her feed and water on a warm spring day. He thought she was simply napping, like her daughter tucked beneath her and Martha a few rows down… but her rest had gone deeper, and she didn’t wake.
Cindy was my first Best of Breed harlequin doe. She leaves behind daughters both in Harlequin and Senita lines that will carry her forward, and a mark on this barn that won’t be forgotten.
