Exhibiting, Promoting & Club Notes / Re: 2026 Northern National Mee...

Last post by Mike Gilbert - May 21, 2026, 04:19:42 PM

Here is a link to the Minnesota State Poultry Assn show.   What is listed currently is for last year's show, but it has some good information for planning purposes, such as motel reservations and show location.  Also, we have been informed of the judges for the 2026 show, and our Board of Directors will select one for our Northern National Meet.   The choices are:   Jonathan Patterson, Zeb skow, Cody Haefs, and Brett Kriefels.   If you plan to show and have a preference, contact Russ Blair or any of the Directors and let them know who you would like to have judge.    Also, if you expect to have a donation for our silent auction, please contact me, Ann, or Rachel to let us know so we can plan for the proper number of cage holes for the birds and space for any other items.   Here is that link:   https://www.poultryshowcentral.com/Minnesota_State_Poultry_Association.html    Oh, I plan to donate a pair or trio of White Ameraucana bantams for the silent auction in addition to the framed charcoal drawing shown earlier in this thread.

Got some nicer combs this last generation.  Still a work in progress, but gradually moving away from Sussex type and eggs are getting bluer.

Yes, good work Steve.  It takes many generations to make varieties like that.

Looks to be more "penguin pattern, or Clown faced" typical of blacks?

Yes.

John McDermott lives near Rochester, Minnesota, and he is in the middle of improving his line of Buff LF.  I gave him the last LF Wheaten male I had, one which had been hatched and raised by Jeff Sonsalla.  It had some of Barb Campbells Wheaten line blood in it, and was quite nice.  Anyway, John crossed the Wheaten male over his Buff females, and has about 3 dozen hatched from the F-2 generation.  he is already considering culling for color faults.  So progress is being made, and I can't wait to see the end results of his project in another year or two.

I'm continuing to improve large buffs in PA, lost a 30 flat of eggs due to an incubator failure but I do have some older chicks out and some more eggs to set.    I'll try attaching a photo o a keeper 2025 cockerel.

Beautiful, Thanks for sharing with us.   Still one of my favorite varieties of all time.
