It was not known by me. It does sound interesting. They say the Delawares are enhanced. Humm, enhanced how or with what? I wonder, Did they cross them with CX?

Wow!! Lots of interesting new stuff coming. Wow, wow, wow. Thanks for posting this.
 
I asked “do you know what these are, have they been selectively bred for utility or have they been crossed with something?”

and she goes “yeah thats it. it’s my understanding they were bred”

I go oh. Okay. Thanks?

I took it to mean she answers the phones. I’m going to try and call/email someone who may know.

I still think they don't want to fess up. One way to keep info from the customers is to not tell those order takers much of anything.

I hope you can find out some information.
