Daytona - anyone go?

Dniles Aug 22, 2010 07:57 PM

Just wondering if any milk heads went to the Daytona show and if so, were there any sweet milks there. I'm sure there were tons of hondurans, anything else?

Hey Dave,

I went, Doug Mong, Terry Dunham, Terry M. (and his son) were all walking around and Randy W., Rodney J., Mike Falcon, Bruce Skipper, Lee A. and Don Shores had tables.

I'm sure there were others but that's all the guys I saw. There were Hondos...but not many of them. Seems like everyone is going away from them since they aren't selling for big bucks anymore.

I saw this really interesting "snow" on Bruce's table...since it was a female, I had to get it:

She was from Anerys Het Hypo and Amel (Het Hybino)...so there is a small chance that she's a triple homozygous.

Something just looks different...she (Angel) almost looks like an Amel because of all the color. I'll let you know what she is in 3 years! HA!

I wasn't even shopping for any Hondos...my fiancé and I were looking for a female Western Hog (Miss Piggy), a mate for our male Hog (Kermit).

Here they are together:

Did you notice any specimens missing that were prevalent at the last two shows, other than hondos?

Thanks,

Mike

Yeah Rusty,...I see what you mean about the white borders on the inner ring there!

Great scores bro......BOTH of them!. That is a cute, colorful little hog there too man!..LOL!

Glad I saw you there as well as some of the other guys you mentioned too. Seemed like I just got there and it was time to bolt home again,......geeez!

you gota be at Daytona for at least 5 hours...sorry you didn't have enough time.

Hopefully next year things will be different...I know I'll be looking for a male Hog!!!

HA!

Glad you had a good time. Nice pick ups by the way! I used to have a western hognose for the wife that she thought was cute until it hissed at her! LOL. Needless to say its no longer in my collection!

Kermit is now confirmed Kermette!

The male is a female...I never checked because it was purchased for the fiancé as a pet! And Kermette hisses all the freakin time...I love it...she totally has a bad attitude!

Hope the Snow stays a female!

Glad you like the pic ups!
