in past years i have bought kirkpatricks from D&T Lofts and thay have been good & bred prize winners, went to buy more this year and i was horrified to see the birds on show & birds in the crates, as said he should not be aloud a stand next year.
dont do auctions mate for the above reason prices go over the top,and there is no guarantee that thay will breed winners what ever thay are bred from, birds on the stands looked like surplus ybs to me and i have better birds in my loft.
think there will have been a lot of bargains today as there wernt any yesterday, birds that were in pens at 9am were still there at 4pm on several stalls, over priced as usual,
