Cathy, A Wonderful Judge and Great Friend



On the days when Cathy judges rabbits, she is usually wearing her judge's show coat. On Saturday, when she came into the show room, she looked different! She was wearing her pretty sweater and blue jeans. We were surprised at first, then found out that she's not judging that day. Instead, she came into the show room to extend invitation for us to visit her new barn. We happily accepted her invitation.

What a treat, her barn is absolutely wonderful, a dream for any rabbit breeders. All cages are one level with wastes drop to ground. The ground is cement floor on different levels. The part where people walk is on a higher level. The part where the cages are, the floor is lower. A metal trench is installed at the middle of the barn and lower than the lower level of the floor. With a hose, all the wastes could be sent to the trench and flow outside the barn. The barn is spotless, requires low maintenance to be kept clean. On one end of the wall, there is a huge swamp cooler looks like a water fall. On the opposite end, there is an industrial strength exhaust fan to keep the air fresh. The temperature inside the barn is kept cool during the summer and warm during the winter.

We are very impressed and all wish that we had a barn like that! Thanks, Cathy, for letting us see such a great design.
