Broken Castor is my favorite variety. We breed and raise Broken Rex in both Castor and Black Otter however, the Broken Castor rabbits are mine and Steve's and the Otters are James'.

Dallas is the product of crossing a gorgeous broken black doe from Joe Willoughby and a Castor buck from Mike Epema. I was amazed that in a litter of 5 all were show quality and 3 were exceptional. Dallas become the main Castor herd buck after he proved himself on the show tables. He has sired many Grand Champions as well as 2 time Best In Show winner, Glacier.
