View attachment 1140568 And now I need another deer target too. They don't hold up too well to broadheads. I also think I have a couple of mice that are eating it.

I think it's dead, lol...

Really it's all bs, gamefowl is a sort of domesticated species, like pitbulls, yeah we're all raising pit bulls and the top dogs get to breed, others, well others are discarded by our selective breeding methods. We're all raising birds, who really cares, squaaaaak - *passes blunt to Shubin*

doing what he's gonna do there will be no selecting. Another problem. His broodfowl will be the best he will have there won't be time to select. Everything good or bad is going out the door to the buyer regardless. Everything sold will be equal to or lesser than the broodfowl. With the equal to being conservative at 10% so 90% of everything being sold would be subpar for a dollar.
If the broodfowl were selected. They might not be select

So what are you trying to say?

So what are you trying to say?

A whole lot of people are selling subpar Game fowl in the name of the Original Breeder at their expense.

But SDM, wouldn't that then be on the buyer to make sure the fowl are up to snuff? I'll have people come to my property and choose what they like, we negotiate a deal, and continue communication after the sell, for health and performance feedback.
Just last month a buyer from Mexico bought 13 bullstags, leaving me with 4 stags with certain blemishes. He explained to me that not all the fowl will be up to his standards but will take his chances and will "cull" accordingly. I explain to any client or friend how I got the birds and the information given to me pertaining to each line, including my own personal observations and opinions. I love raising game, not my fault my fowl are kicking up dust and attracting attention over here in Texas, slowly but surely.

Selling clutches of chicks like a hatchery is gonna degrade just like hatcheries have already done and isdoing. Like old English. Just nice to look at. Lawn ornaments

I have heard nothing but negative reviews from these industrial grade gamefarms.

I think you should do your best to deliver the best. Not just whatever. As far as clutches of chicks the parents is what as a breeder u should be using your experience to do the best you can. Yeah you'll get good ones breeding whatever maybe. But whatever shouldn't be just good enough. Oh well I'm known for not being able to convey what I'm thinling. I'm flawed lol

No, I understand what you're saying. I agree with you that whatever you sell or even gift should be the best, but my best isn't necessarily your best, and I guess this is what separates the greats from the amateur. Like me and Havoc, my best is probably Havoc's worst, and his best are levels above my best, but with current prohibition, we couldn't really tell, unless he invites me over to his farm and gives me some lessons and some trios....wink wink lol
