I have always said that since we all breed each litter to improve the breed, the theory should be that each year we should have more and more Select quality animals. This year the National upheld my theory. I never such so many to quality animals, and so many of Select quality. I have to agree that Ed recognized that and awarded Select to as many as he felt deserved it. And I saw it the way he did. I saw a few he could have put up too. This was one National that showed how well we breeders are doing. Evan L.
