Late breds are not a waste of time "Stu3y"in my opinion,some of my best birds over the years were late bred so would say go ahead and try them,we always hear the same old stuff that they go down like "snow aff a dyke"the following year, well think about this,the same applies to thousands of yearlings who were hatched at the normal time as young birds, trained hard as young birds raced hard as young birds they go down as yearlings just the same but as we know many go on to great things,always do what you want to do and not what others want you to do,all the best with your late breds they will do you proud,again only my opinion.
