'SR 286' is a super well proven OLR producing hen for Sierra Ranch and a Direct-Daughter to two of Steve's absolute best breeders '2481' and '901'.

Mother '901' is probably the #1 Breeding Daughter of Current Foundation Cock 'Missil'. She is also a Sister of '1755' (aka "Torpedo') Steve's other current foundation cock.

Sister of multiple 1st Combine Winners
'SR 286' is medium-small to small in size but still strong with lots of muscle. She has a strong back, tight vents, great balance, good length to her wings, nice wing vibration, soft feather, very good muscle, etc. She has nice rich pearl eyes with a good circle of correlation. She is sleek and fits in your hand well.
She is for sale as part of the late Steve Sterchi (Sierra Ranch's) Estate Sale for some of his top breeders. My friend Steve passed away last fall and I (Matt Hans) am listing some of the top birds here on Ipigeon for his wife Kim. Proceeds from auction go to Steve's wife Kim.
