Inside the DVD, there is a nicely printed booklet that supplements information about the film.  Amy Do writes about the production of the film with a photo that was taken at Betty's barn in 2009.

 

These two pages show the six main youth casts.   The one on the left is now a rabbit judge: judge Johnny who we have featured on this blog many times.   He has graduate from college since the filming.  


 

National Angora Rabbit Breeders Club sponsors one of the pages in the booklet.


 

Amy is very kind to have designed a half page feature on Betty.








 

Casey Busy Building a Pond

 

 

 

Casey and hubby spend their free moments working on building a pond in their yard.


 

They are very glad that the project is done, now just need to turn on the water to create a small water fall.   The plants surrounding the pond are still small but with time and the moisture from the pond, this corner of their yard is going to be beautiful and peaceful.





 

Walking the Turkeys

 

 

 

 In addition to the open and youth rabbits shows, there are Mr. and Mrs. Turkey on display at the fairgrounds in Santa Maria.

The turkeys are being judged in the 4-H show.

 

 

 

 

 The turkey couple are so used to be in youth activities that they do not need to be load or unload into the owner's truck.  They walk to the truck from the coop by themselves when the show is over.  It's an amazing sight.

 

 

 

 

 There are two female runner ducks and a drake on display.  The runners are the best egg producers, lay more than 200 eggs a year.

 

 

 

 

 A pair of young African Gray geese are also on display.

 

 

 

 And a pair of Muscovy ducks.  One would be lucky to get 30-40 eggs from a Muscovy; they are very good at hiding their eggs and they are very stubborn in getting their eggs hatched into ducklings.

 

 

 

 

 There are rows of chickens on display.

 

 

 

 More chickens.  These coops are very similar to the coops used for rabbits in ARBA conventions.

 

 

 

 

A 4-H project display.
