No i dont think they did, i think people are breeding more to cover the big young bird losses. |

| yes sounds about right by what i can remember........ so it leads on to the big question we all hear, why all the losses .....? any thoughts anyone.....? or is there no real reason and its just nature/normal.....? |

The N.E.H.U race from Melton Mowbray 21/4/2012 was won by Peel bros of South Shields, they took 1st club 1st fed, also taking 2nd and 4th club and 15 of the 25 birds clocked in the club......well done Peel brothers.
thats about 440 ybs between 8 fanciers...........just emagine how many are bred if we added it up for all the country..........
