the basket will also select the stock for me apart from a few bought in of course and they will be picked due to their parents performances my very best racers will get a box in the stock loft it gets a few years with different partners if the results are not acceptable they dont get another its as simple as that really so really the basket selects all for me as the amount of good looking birds with nice backs good balance one tail feather (the list goes on) that have been rubbish is unreal if anyone could pick out good breeders or racers they would be very rich with the likes of money thats involved in the high end of the game
