Angora Scarf Makes a Good Neck Day




An Angora scarf with multi natural colors.  Very warm, very natural and very earthy.


If anyone is afraid of a "Bad Neck Day", an Angora scarf will correct it into a "Good Neck Day".

More Photos at the UK Bradford Show



We received additional photos from the Bradford show at UK to share. 


Eric is one of the international judges.


The five international judges have a picture taken together.   Four of them are very familiar to us, from right to left are: Doug King of CA, Maddie Pratt of MI, Allen Barr of CA and Eric Stewart of PA.   The very left believe to be a judge from Belgium.   


Eric and the 5* Best In Show winner Adele Fox and her Angora white senior doe Fox Stud Joanna.  At the Bradford show,  rabbits that are 5 months and over are considered "adults", they compete in the 5* shows.   The rabbits under 5 months old are in the 3* division shows.   Fox Stud Joanna is the Best In Show in the 5* division that has more rabbits and the most competitive.
    

Adele and Eric each holds an Angora.   In UK, there is only one breed of Angora, they are comparable to the English Angora in the US.   UK standard does not recognize French Angora, Giant Angora or Satin Angora.
