209 Gets his grand

We stopped counting at 140 points. It was too painful. A second place here, a third place there. The groomsman of the group, "209" has always been wanting to make the show his own but just didn't seem to find the condition to do it. But, he always managed a good showing on the bench which is a sign of superior consistancy. I went to the show in Doswell, VA and there was "209". Alyssandra Young described his head as an "Anvil". A long broad head it is. He's precended by his son, Gary who received his Grand last year at just a little over a year. We can't tell you how happy we are that both are contributing so well to aviculture. "209" has already in his 4 years produced 10 babies with 3 hens! His babies explify his head, style and (overall) good looks. We are happy to get to show some of these prospects in the upcoming months.

Congrats goes to Phil Feret who bred "209" and his many siblings who also became Grands.
