| I was in Holland for 6 weeks racing young birds and along came National Orleans, | |||
| the biggest young bird race of all Holland. This is the race everyone sets their | |||
| youngsters up for and they send all their best birds. The race went off in great | |||
| weather conditions, clear with a light head wind. I checked the race results and | |||
| noticed Wal Zoontjens had an early bird. It was the same bird that won 1st | |||
| Morlincourt against 6,207 birds. This raised my interest so I went over and asked | |||
| Wal if I can handle her. I did and liked her very much so I asked to buy her and | |||
| and Wal said in the spring after he got a couple of youngsters off her. I went back | |||
| in April and bought her. Needless to say, one of the two youngsters that Wal bred | |||
| became his top racing and breeding hen, Vivian. Golden Breeder is perfect. She | |||
| has bred top breeders when mated to all my key breeders. Fantastic breeding hen. | |||
| 1st Morlincourt | 6,027 birds 160 miles | ||
| 24th National Orleans | 11,601 birds 300 miles | ||
| Children $1500 / Grandchildren $550 | |||
