Randy Cler From Alaska





Randy and Randy, one from California and another from Alaska. Randy S caught the Salmon in Alaska and Randy C smoked and vacuum packed them. Yummy.









Randy C discusses fiber stuff with Betty.













Randy and Allen went to Alaska for the state convention, judges' conference and did some fishing. Randy C. was their host then; now he is the guest in California.

Randy C. started raising rabbits in 1993, became a judge in 2006. He apprenticed at the Monterey Fair in 2006 when he appeared in our blog for the first time http://ncag.blogspot.com/search?q=randy+c He holds dual license for both rabbit and cavy, is one of the two judges in Alaska.

Randy C. judged the youth rabbits at the Monterey Fair on Friday, and then went down to San Diego area to judge the Cardiff shows on Saturday and then back to Monterey on Sunday to judge the American Fuzzy Lop specialty show.

He is interested in fiber things; his daughter works in a Musk Ox farm. Betty and him had quite an interesting conversation and he was quite taken by the Angora products. He ended up buying two Angora hats.

Musk Ox is well known for its down fiber Qiviut. It's a very expensive fiber and it's very warm. Carol G. has recently visited a Musk Ox farm in Alaska, see http://aflrc.blogspot.com/2008/08/stuffed-with-animals.html She saw some Qiviut yarns for $90 per oz. With that in mind, our Angora products are downright reasonable.
