"Big Mistake" - Did you ever hear the great story of Bob Koch's, Big Mistake breeding cock - breeder of 16, 1st's? He offered him for sale along with about 25 other YB's one year - and he was the only one not to sell. At the end of the auction Bob was boxing him up - and a fellow came up and said, "I'll buy 'im!" Bob famously said, "Big Mistake! You should have bought him when you had the chance!"
"JJ Determination" is like that - a terrific cock - destined to breed SUPER!

6390-TRUNNELL-IF-2016 BCC "JJ Determined", or "JJ Pacer" – I moved him from one pen to another as a very YC and he paced at the screen wall for a Week! That’s the kind of character – love of perch/loft/mate – you get in this line.
Sire: Jumpin' Jack - is a NEPHEW of Bliksem, not "simply a nephew", I like to say. Dam: Golden Davina - my favorite import - being a direct daughter of the two, phenoms, Golden Gaby X Davina is no small part of that!
From my ‘insurance pen’ – I tried to mate him up for two rounds in 2017, but the OH I had him did not lay.
More character – my notes from Jan. ’17 say: He threw an OC out of the flypen – by the ear – that was challenging him in his favorite spot.
Note from 8/9/16: "Lil Golden Gaby" … ‘unusually large wing muscle!!, and such a strong beak pull!!!!” Earliest note: "WOWSER, so well-fed, more struggle, more fight, shorter leg, and bigger foot than n'mate [I like that ‘bigger joints’ – seems to me it is the kind of strong ligaments they need to fly for hours without strain]; and @ 40 Days: "Strong back!!!, great throat, wing muscle, and beak pull!!!"
As Mark Evans would say, "He's the complete package!"
