I see more so Wednesday you may have still been within the 10 mins but making sure they were constantly scoffing where Monday you could give a little more time to top the pots with there favorite grain

It's probably more the case on Sun, Mon and Tues I stopped at 10 mins and they'd have takwen more on if I'd let them

But if I'd have let them have it I'd have had them flying freely earlier in the week and not taking on the volume that I wanted them to get on a Thursday night

Yep
So someone like me with natural skill as a fancier I could copy your me method but add 20 per cent barley as a guide Monday going to 10 percent Wednesday and zero barley Thursday

Feeding the way we did with "Prestige" allowed us to win big Federations at the shortest distance, but also do the business with 9-10 hous on the wing too.

As time moved on I became less arsed with French racing. I couldn't be bothered to wait for them so can't really tell you if the Gerry / Superstar would have been as efficient.
Plus, when you have a team that are doing so well inland and there's an inland option for you every week, and you aren't naturally bothered about racing 350-500 miles then our entries into that arena became more and more sparse

In 2001 or 2002 (can't be sure which year) we prepared 1 for the MNFC Bergerac and got him after 14hrs 5 min on a NE wind winning around £1000..... I think there were only about 40 or so on the day. He did his job and I was pleased - but I wasn't waiting for him. Mum & Dad were
