Cottonwood Farms newest additions to our gene pool.
These wonderful mini rex were acquired from Gan Haven Mini Rex of Estevan Canada.
In the winter of 2001 Gerry and Norma Westgard sold their entire herd. We purchased 3 packages of four rabbits each from Gan Haven Rabbitry. One package of broken castors, included two of their foundation and grand champion broken castor brood does, Gan Naxina and Gan Kelensa. Gerry told me Naxina was perhaps the best doe he ever bred. It also included another B&B's Nam and Gan Pacee son, Gan Neftron, unshown due to his bad cleaning habits but their choice for herdsire buck. . We also acquired some young castors and blacks from the Westgard's show string for 2001. Some of these animals were sired by Cresthills Hank and Gan KINDA, registered herd sire buck and Buresh’s Black Boy.
