Harry
1.Your message came through just fine and I assume others will have recieved
it and somebody else will let you know too.
2. 900.8 Lyons 94 (SQ)---724 Willemse 93 x 755 Craven 93
This is the record I have and as I recall Chris Lyons gave me this on the
phone.I will give Chris a call to check and in a case such as this I would
have to take the record of the grower.Will let you know where it stands
after I talk to Chris again.
3.There are two 700+ from your Sarnia site where I either didn't get the
info in time for the booklet or there was conflicting reports so I left them
out.
They are 700.5 S.Veens and 734 Hain-if you could send me the parentage for
these it would be greatly appreciated.The same with any others in the top ten.
Thanks Again-----------------------Al Eaton
P.S.I recall your 724-93 very clearly,we were comparing notes that summer on
these two,then at the Port Elgin weigh-off your 724 was #3 and my 721.5 was
#4.The genes of these 2 are still showing up a bit here and there in the 97
pedigrees.
