West of England Tumblers

I have been breeding Wests for 11 years. I got my start from a fine gentleman in central Texas by the name of Wes Fitch. Over the years, Wes and I have become good friends. We have had some very good, friendly competition at our local shows. I breed only Baldhead pattern Wests. I have them in most of the basic colors. I have forsaken all other patterns of West of England Tumblers for the Baldheads because it is so very hard to breed a quality Baldhead. If I kept every pattern and color of West there is, I would never reach my goal of breeding the best Baldhead West of England Tumblers in the USA.
My Baldheads excel in power, type and station. I breed for power and station first. Only after I have accomplished the type of West I want do I concentrate on putting on the good markings and color. In a way, I'm kind of backwards but it has been successful and people seem to like my birds. I have sold birds all over the United States. To date, I have won 7 District shows and 3 National Best Baldhead Championships.

I do sell and ship birds across the USA . I don't sell culls ! I only sell birds that I would use myself. I cull my birds hard and often. My family of Wests are centered around just 2 or 3 birds. Red Bird Cock #717 is at the center of my bloodline. When you get birds from me they will be competitive at most shows but more important, you will be getting a good foundation bird. I line breed my birds closely and this enhances the station and power in all my colors.

Red Bar, Old Cock #717
This bird was a two time National Best Baldhead at the NPA National in Oklahoma City (1995) and Salt Lake City (1996) He has also won back to back District III shows in Shawnee, Oklahoma. He excels in station, type and power. A very pleasant bird in a cage. Loves to be at the big shows. I think he knows he is good and loves to show it. My bloodline is centered around this family. His most valuable asset is that he produces excellent stock birds. His off-spring produce better show quality birds than he does. He has past on this past year but his bloodline is still very strong throughout my loft.

Blue Bar OH #402

A fine stock hen. She has a rich pedigree. Another fine producer of quality show birds and stock birds.

Black Mottle OH #3366

This is a Bill Parker bred hen. She is one of the nicest Wests that I have ever seen. So far in two years she has given me some nice off-spring from which to build my family of black selfs and mottles around.

Black Self Cock #400-03

This is a son of #3366 Black Mottle Hen pictured above. Super head and body on this bird. Looking forward to seeing if he is carrying his mothers good lines.

Cream Bar Baldhead YH #455

Good type and color. Mated this year to a cream bar cock directly out of #717. In fact, she is a grand-daughter to #717. Looking to build my stock birds this year. Lost a lot of birds due to sickness this summer and fall. Things are looking good now after a lot of work and treatment.

Blue Bar Baldhead OC #476-02

Nice well balanced cock bird. Producer of some nice silver bar hens last year. Mated to a blue check hen #452 in hopes to get a few good silver checks.

Blue Check Hen #452

One of my all time favorite baldheads. She is white hocked and 9x9 on flight count. Super solid body and type. She is mated to the above Blue Bar.
