This one looks like she could well be useful moving forwards
Right up close and personal to top performers
Very nice, I would say anything with Southfield in its name will be quality.

I got a phone call today. There's a late bred cock closely related to the Billion Baby, the Zillion Baby, the Diamond Blaze etc.
It's been scalped so they can't sell it on the market, but it's fine.
I've said we will take it, if Devo agrees.
More of that bloodline in our shed
I only had a great grandson of kittel I got cheap I say cheap but that’s probably as there’s shed loads of them about
I only got him as I liked the look of him not a clue about peds bred me lots of hens though 3 out 4 were hens I have two in my race team both scored last year
I gave him away in the winter to a pal to try
He’s is a nice looking cock in my eyes though

Every so often Neil (in the Sprint/Middle distance world) a pigeon comes along that reshapes the landscape somewhat
I'm thinking "Kleine Dirk", "Kannibaal", "Olympiade 003" and "Kittel" - all were superstar racers and became iconic breeders
The current challenger to the throne of course is "Blizzard King Kittel"

There would be lots of them Neil to be fair
I mean, I've probably sold something like 250 G.Children of "Kittel" since 2018, so in terms of G.G.Children, Jeeezus that'd be running into 4 figures. Sold a never ending number of them.

On my return to see Murry and Cathrine, Murrys mate David Cox. Is planning for us to visit his friends loft, a bit of a drive but worth it. I am looking forward to see this hen.

There's nothing wrong with the Den Euro cock George
His brother of course was base breeder "Wild Wind" at Premier Stud
