Casey reports:

"Casey's Drake Milligan Grand Champion Satin Angora buck heading to ARBA convention without me.

Drake's storey started at the Reno ARBA convention 2 years ago when Becky Hammond, a fellow Satin Angora breeder, fell in love with Casey's Deva, my beautiful Red doe. I told her that when I had babies from her I would save one for her.

January 2023 Deva had 5 beautiful babies. That began a long chat between Becky and I . She is so excited to have a baby.   One problem Becky lives in Alaska. How to get him to her? She decided to go to the 2023 ARBA convention in Kentucky to meet him and help Tammy with the Chestnut Giant presentation. I found that Arian Dworzecki was doing transportation from my area so a date was made.
I made up a travel box for him with food, water, snacks and a cage lock for Drake's travel  and stay in Kentucky. I also sent a cage that Drake approved.

Arian had help from Mike Portlock on the trip and they made excellent time. Left Sacramento 7:30 in the evening Oct 4th with Drake and many bunny friends and  arrived Oct 6th by 11:30. Posting information all the way.

Becky is on the way from Alaska and will meet Drake. She is super excited.
It was hard not to go with Drake and send him off on his own but he is in great hands.
 
You never know, maybe he will win BIS ha ha.The big show is Sunday Oct 8th."
