AU2023 Sierra Ranch 391 Blue Bar Cock
$ Winner @ 361 Miles & Son of '2481' (Top 3 Cock) & ADL-307
'SR 391' sold last spring in the Sierra Ranch estate sale for my friend the late Steve Sterchi. He sold to a mutual friend of Steve and I that can only keep two pairs. He no longer has room for 'SR 391' so I bought him back a few weeks ago. I unfortunately do not have room for him either as I am only breeding 9 pairs this year.
'SR 391' himself was 3rd Place @ 361 Mile Superbird Race in the San Diego Holiday Classic 2023 and also flew well in two of the other races. His Parents are both well proven breeders with his Father '2481' being one of Steve's best all time foundation cocks and a Top-3 current cock all the way through 2024.
'SR 391' in the 2023 San Diego Holiday Classic won:
3rd Place @ 361 Mile SuperBird Race ($2000 Winner)
Equal 1st Drop @ 150 Mile Race
87th Place @ 190 Miles
Father '2481' was a 2 x 1st Combine Winner and #1 Son of Steve's acclaimed Mel Pair. Steve would often mate Children of the Mel Pair to Children of his '4747'. Mother ADL-307 'Lily' is a Granddaughter of Jelle Rozier's famed 'Seven Junior'

Mother and Grandmother of numerous OLR Winners including 'SR 204'(Equal 1st in 5 of 7 Plymouth Peak Races 2020), 'Patsy Kline' (1st @ 200 Miles and 1st @ 300 Miles Triple Crown Classic), 'SR 2016' 7th Place Final Race AGN 2020, 'AUB 1042' (1st Place @ 309 Miles & Equal 1st @ 362 Mile Final Plymouth Peak 2021), and Grandmother of 'SR 321' who won 2nd Overall Average Speed Blue Bucket 2023 (and Equal 1st in Five of Six Races!)
Half-Sister 'SR 286' raced in GCC and has since become an outstanding breeder. 'SR 286' is Mother of 'SR 350' who won EQ 1st @ 350 Mile Final & EQ 1st @ 250 Miles Plymouth Peak 2023. Also Mother of 'SR 1020' who won (4) x 1st/EQ 1st in 2022 Blue Bucket Series including 1st Place @ 200 Miles. 'SR 286' is the other Grandmother of 'SR 321' who won 2nd Overall Average Speed Blue Bucket 2023.
'SR 391' is close to medium in size with a very nice body including good muscle and very soft feather. He has a strong frame that is a bit more v-shaped, good spacing in his outside flights, strong back, tight vents, and a nice bright orange eye. He is a calmer bird in the hand. Personally I would mate him to a hen with more outward spunk. See Youtube Video for Handling Notes.
Again this is a bird that was sold last year 2025 in Steve Sterchi's estate sale. I (Matt Hans) bought him back along with his mate from a friend that bought them last year.
