First time bringing Hollands to a show in a long time 🎉🎉

I’m pretty happy with this mother/daughter duo. Their bodies are definitely the direction I’m excited to see the breed go in the future. The senior doe happened to be in condition with a prime line, while the jr doe looks like she recently wandered through a car wash.

While it wasn’t my day on the tables with Hollands or Cals, Jackie Hambrick-Sutton for running a great show and bringing Scott in to judge!

Thank you Scott Rodriguez for keeping ARBA well and alive in District 1, and being a great judge to write for as we hustled a few hundred rabbits across the table as painlessly as possible.

I’m absolutely over the moon with how my 2022 ARBA National Convention went!

Diegel’s Friends Fiveever, Broken Jr Buck

🌟1st Place Open Californian Int. Doe🌟
Diegel’s Volcano Houseplant

🌟1st Place Open Polish Lilac Sr. Doe🌟
Diegel’s Frejia

Thank you so much to the CRCS for hosting another well run convention, the judges for judging, and to each of the breed clubs for the beautiful awards.

With only 2 French Lop entries, I am extremely humbled to have brought home my very first Open Convention Best of Breed.

Additionally, I only brought 4 Californians to show and I’m humbled to have won 5th place Jr doe, 6th place Jr buck, and 1st place intermediate does. The overall quality of the cals were top notch with an excellent animal from each corner of the US, and I’m proud to be up there with the best of them as selected by two legendary judges.

With the Open Polish I’m most proud of bringing home 3rd place black sr doe in a deep class. While she did not eat until the drive home, I am happy to say she’s doing well, and retired to be a brood doe.

My show Holland entry ended up going off feed before the trek to Reno began, so she stayed home. I was shocked to have 2 in the top ten. Thank you to Chris Zemny for hosting yet another beautiful banquet. However the most exciting part of Hollands at convention was getting to watch Alysia win BOB Open Hollands!!!

Thank you to the mentors in my breeds and friends throughout the hobby to make my Convention 2022 something truly special. And most importantly, thank you Ashley for joining me on this adventure!

As I work on wrapping up my convention entries, I’d like to invite everyone to my au*ct.tion. I know it feels like everyone’s doing an au.ct*n these days, but like many others this year, I’ve felt overwhelmed by the interest in my herd.

I’m extremely honored to have so much interest in my animals. This platform streamlines the process of sharing my projects with those interested.

🗓Tomorrow, Sunday October 9th

Included in this selection is a variety of Hollands, Polish, and Californians from my barn, and Mini Satins from Montana Sky Ranch.

Rabbits are entered in Convention under our names and will be transported, cooped and cared for throughout the week. We look forward to seeing everyone there!

Friends, enemies, and everyone else browsing the internet with nothing better to do,

I have started to go through my herd with a critical eye with the hopes of only wintering a few rabbits. Many of my favorites are looking for new barns. I will be continuing to update my list on my website to keep it as accurate as possible. (Emailing me at [email protected] is the best way to contact me if you have any questions)
💥 Hollands
💥 Cals
💥 Polish

Transport to Reno for Convention can be arranged!! 🚛

When people ask me how convention prep is going… how it started vs how it’s going

Hopefully my rabbits stay on the table at convention because this bu**er is getting fast 😂
Pro tip: let one of your rabbits jump off the table from you outside. You, too, can be in great shape by the time we’re strutting through the Atlantis to our banquets

Thank you Ashley Ball for consistently running the best show our valley has ever seen.

While it's been a strange spring with no Hollands to show from my barn (don't worry they're all just having babies), I had a great time with my other breeds!

I was honored to bring home two RIS with two different rabbits.

Diegel's Swiper No Swiping - Black Polish Sr. Doe
Reserve in Show - Kathi Groves

Diegel's Exposure Wheel - Californian Sr. Buck
Reserve in Show - Zachary Newman

Thank you to the judges who made the trek out here, and congratulations to the other winners. Winning RIS under Kathi with polish was truly a highlight of my breeding career, and one of the proudest moments I've had in the hobby. Thank you Kathi.

I had a smashing great time in Reno. Thank you to everyone for their generosity and hospitality. I'm glad to make it home safe and feel lucky to have been surrounded by such beautiful people inside and out.

Thank you CRCS and crew for hosting such a great show. Thank you judges for recognizing my rabbits on the tables. Thank you Katelyn for embarking on the long trek with me and producing some of my favorite hollands with me! Finally, thank you to everyone else in between who helped me survive the week!

It was so refreshing to take out a small show team and see my local rabbit friends!

I would like to thank everyone who helped and the GRB for leaping over all of the obstacles to make it happen.

I was honored to bring home my first RIS with a homegrown French Lop doe. Thank you Lynn Eden for sending me some wonderful French Lop stock and helping me all along the way!

09/08/2020

I went through the barn and updated my website. Check it out!

Safe travels all along the west coast this month!!

There may not be a Convention this year, but I’m still cleaning out my barn this fall for winter!

Well, there might now be any shows, but I'm still going to be offering some broodstock this spring!

I am posting 7 Hollands looking for new herds tomorrow. I have 1 buck and 6 does going up on my website. I'll be posting the link here tomorrow at 5pm MST.

I will be working with transport options that are going through my area. I am closely monitoring the RHD outbreak and recommend you are, too! I do operate a closed rabbitry, but there are countless channels for this nasty virus to spread. I highly recommend all individuals bringing new animals to their herd exercise at least a 30-day quarantine for their new members.

I'll be adding to my site as rabbits are getting weaned. As Facebook has changed rules regarding animal sales on this platform, I will be doing the majority of my sales through my website.

Stay safe, and all the best,
Tommy

Happy Easter!

I haven’t posted in forever, but it’s about time I return to weekly posting, just for you guy’s.

Some of you may recall a certain trashiest herd competition that took place at Convention last year between me and Alysia. Now get ready for our trashiest photographer competition. I'm so gonna win😎

02/28/2020

Only 3 inches of snow on the ground means spring-break in Montana is only 2 weeks away!

I’m so excited to see how my rabbits are doing and meet all of the new babies.

A lot of people have wondered why I haven't been releasing many photos lately. Well, between the holidays and unpredictable weather, it's been challenging to find the time to take more photos! It really doesn't help that even when I find the time and the weather is cooperating, sometimes I get even more interruptions...😂😂

If you missed Black Friday deals in the stores, it’s okay! I have a doe for consideration, supporting the Glacier Rabbit Breeders Association! Half sister to my Open Convention winner!! 😍😍😍
