The 2nd Avranches was never a Fed Race for Ayrshire .We used to have a seperate race on a different week with the West Coast Combine (Ayrshire, Glasgow,Ballochmyle, Renfrewshire, Kyle feds) I can remember in the late 70,s loading 2 full catteralls transporters plus a luton type transporter with the combine birds at the old bull ring in Kilmarnock, the birds were generaly liberated along with Solway fed, and some of the NW of England Feds, .
