MUFASA × THE GOVERNESS FAMILY — FROM GB24V45269 × “THE VIXEN”

BRED FOR STOCK FROM THE HEART OF THE CHAPELFORD LOFT — MUFASA, THE GOVERNESS AND HERCULES ALL CLOSE UP.

GB25S36855 is a Mealy cock bred from GB24V45269 × GB19V39645 “THE VIXEN”, bringing together Lee Owen’s No.1 stock cock MUFASA, his No.1 stock hen THE GOVERNESS and the proven HERCULES family of Curtis, Wall & Lunt.

SIRE: GB24V45269 is bred directly from MUFASA × THE GOVERNESS. He is therefore a full brother to RED ACE, 55th RPRA One Loft Race Final 2021, and a paternal half-brother to SIMBA’S PRIDE — 1st RPRA One Loft Race 2020, winning £25,000.

MUFASA has bred SIMBA’S PRIDE — 1st RPRA OLR and £25,000 winner — together with 64th Who Dares Wins Final, 55th RPRA OLR Final and numerous Club, Federation and Gold Ring performers.

DAM: GB19V39645 “THE VIXEN” was an outstanding racing hen before going to stock. Her performances include:

1st Club, 1st Section and 2nd Open Carentan 2020 — 1,288 Federation birds

1st Club Yeovil — 302 birds

1st Section / 1st Open Mid Cheshire Federation — 2,369 birds

4th Club Cheltenham — 160 birds

17th Section / 25th Open Mid Cheshire Federation — 1,409 birds

1st Club — 186 birds / 8th Federation — 1,395 birds

THE VIXEN is a direct daughter of THE GOVERNESS × HERCULES JUNIOR. THE GOVERNESS is dam of RED ACE, 55th RPRA OLR Final 2021, and “139 RED ROCKET”, winner of 1st Club / 4th Mid Cheshire Federation 1,356 birds; 2nd Club 291 / 4th Federation 886; 1st Club Cheltenham 402 / 15th Federation 1,014; and 6th Club 212 / 6th Two Counties Combine 741.

THE GOVERNESS also bred GB16V24103, nestmate to 139: 2nd Club / 6th Two Counties Combine 1,081; 1st Club / 1st Combine Portland 581; 1st Club / 10th Combine 915; 7th Club / 7th Combine 414; 2nd Club / 6th Combine 1,042; 2nd Club / 2nd Combine 498; 2nd Club / 4th Combine 658; and 3rd Club / 30th Combine 686.

HERCULES JUNIOR is a son of Curtis, Wall & Lunt’s HERCULES and has bred winners. This Mealy cock therefore combines a proven OLR-producing sire line with a dam that was herself a Federation winner and is bred from the Governess/Hercules cross.

A VERY DELIBERATE STOCK BREEDING — performance and production stacked through both sides.
