Just perusing through the new issue of Poultry Press. Brahmas well represented in recent shows. Large Lights from both of the better known northern breeders did very well.
Nice to see a large light hen take Reserve Champion Large fowl, and Champion Asiatic, and a large dark hen take Reserve Asiatic at the Tennessee Valley Show.
A buff pullet was placed Reserved Grand Champion Bantam at the Cape Fear Show, again by a well known breeder that has been mentioned is these threads.
And probably more when I get to read it through, but this is what photos drew my eye.
Just a reminder to some of the new folks who think that good quality Brahmas are nearly impossible to find. It may take a little time and investment in the hobby, but the birds are out there. Join the breed club, (see the bottom of any of Tim's posts). Subscribe to The Poultry Press. See who are winning shows, what show winning birds look like, often how to contact these breeders, when and where upcoming shows and swaps will happen. Go to the shows, look, learn, and impress on these guy's and gal's, how serious you are about learning and getting started with quality birds. If not that day, lay the foundation for getting birds in the future as they may become available. There is not always a quick fix that we seem to expect these days.
