AU 13 Kastle 1396, dubbed “Mr. Kastle” by Donald Campbell, has returned to his birth loft where he will breed for the next few years. He was sent to Don as a baby to race in the IHC club in Cleveland where he built a very good record with a limited young bird and old bird season. Turns out, he’s proven to be a great breeder, too. That M&D Evans Shadow blood just keeps producing winners generation after generation. Mr. Kastle is 100% M&D Evans and a grandson of Eisenhower x Joint Venture with additional doses of superb genetics from Golden Gaby, Carrie, and Queen of Diamonds.
And now that I’ve had the chance to have father and son next to each other and I’m amazed at how similar they are. This is my goal: line breed from the producers and try to make clones that perform as the parents and grandparents did. Don has worked tirelessly and applied his talents to my birds and I can’t thank him enough for that and for letting me “borrow” Mr. Kastle for a while.
