With the drops they get it’s a good point you don’t want them not being able to land then doing a loop if the board had 25 hit it before them
It's an extreme example Neil, but as you know from your Darlington performance I'll find a fault with anything. I'm good at that.
I say to the lads if you have 50 arrive together can they all hit that landing spot? If the answers "no" then do something about it
There's an answer for everything.
10 years or so ago I can pretty much guarantee you that if there was a race above a mile-a-minute Gordon's wouldn't win it (not talking Club level here) They never did It was too fast for them and the way they set their birds up to race. So I told them "You gotta sort this out. You could get 6-8 races a year like this and you can't afford to be missing out". So they went away, researched, came back with a different approach and since then they've won numerous 1st Combine and 1st Open NIPA when the racing has been rapid.
There's an answer for everything if you open your mind and dig into the unknown.

Sorry never saw it before then work got in the way
Yes totally agree
Having changed the certain feed days and amount for ybs following your tip I can definitely see birds come closer together and recover quicker , loses are few I imagine due to fat stored when carbs are burnt
The main thing is how they were still working at home even when like rags normally the flag is used by the 3rd race this year when I closed up for the year race 6 they were still doing a hour a day without any hesitation
Be interesting his the cocks go as they don’t normally see a particular type of grain to Wednesday night from Saturday
