This cock has produced high quality spin with depth in the 25-35 foot range for me since 98. A great bird. Joe

This is his brother that I will be trying this year. He is a hard 25 footer with exceptional style.

Thanks Joe! #35 is the father to my best producing cock for the past 3 years. That's the first time I've seen a picture of him.

Great looking bird, I too have some very nice black pairs that throw great spinners and look nearly identical to this bird.

Thanks Milo which old one. I lost the red bar in 96 but he still lives in my loft. 35s dad is the one I am really going to miss. I dont think he is going to be around much longer. Getting pretty weak on me the last couple years.

never had a bird hit off of him Scott. He is directly off the pair that I got from Paul Bradford. This photo was taken at Hendersons loft in 1995. Dave used him the last 2 years he was alive.

Heyyou, unfortunately I get about 60% self blacks in my loft but they do what I like in the air so I am not willing to add something to change them. Honestly though I really dont care what color they are I breed stricktly for spin and go by what I believe.I like a certain style of bird and that is one of the criterias that I use when considering a bird for stock. After all it is me and only me that has to look at them everyday at feeding time. But you will never hear me say that ALL I have are 25-30 footers because I am just not that old and can still see good enough to tell what is actually going on up there. LOL. Joe

Joe, the 04 #14 hen and the 05 #24 worked real well this past season. Several of their young are on lockdown until April. Most are Incredibly fast and snappy as youngbirds with depth about 15-25'at 6 months. Sometimes a bit deeper. I'm looking forward to flying them into fully matured birds in 2007.

I have lot's of color in my loft but the blacks that I have consistently throw good young. I have blues that do the same and some very nice reds that throw good birds but not with the same consistency of the blacks. I agree you pick from the air not from the look or color. if the blacks are doing better then I have to go with what is spinning the best. Thanks

Heyyou, I dont have alot of colors to choose from. I get what I get and will continue to work with them the way they are because they work for me. I look more at the body type, character and type of spin rather than the appearance. I am gathering from your post that you are doing the same and that is good to hear. Joe
