2004 BCLB male known as 84R

BCLB 84R did very well in his first year of shows as a cockerel in 2004/2005.  He was Best of Variety at nearly every show where he was exhibited.  At one show, he was even selected as Best of Breed, but that win was changed when the judge realized he had given the win to a non-recognized variety.  We were quite pleased he was honored this way, even though the win could not hold.  ABA and APA are in the process right now of considering this variety as a recognized variety.

Here he is as a youngster, out walking in the yard.

Here he is with the other very nice young BCLB male we were excited about in 2004, 85R.   Unfortunately, 85R caught Marek's Disease within days of 85R winning Best of Variety at the ABA National.  We vaccinate for Marek's, but because we usually hatch under hens, the chicks have a chance of getting exposed to Marek's before they are vaccinated.  We were sad to lose 85R because he showed a lot of promise.
