An Scorpion Ox four webber

Roosterman No. 11; January, 2012 been with him since the very beginning. Steve started breeding in 2004. His area in Lamacan, Argao, Cebu is ideal enough for the number of heads he is producing. He raises 300-400 stags a year. He sells most of his produce and only fights what would be left. But the left-overs proved good enough to keep his reputation intact in the Cebu circuit.
Yes Steve has several options. But he utilizes to the max only a few lines.
Among these few lines are a mclean line he originally got from Alvin Lim; a dink fair sweater from Bebot Uy; a yellow legged hatch from Simon Rallos, and bantress sweater from Popoy Alfafara.
Four webber Out of his mclean and dink sweater came the four webbers. For the past three years the four webbers have been Steve’ s winningest roosters. Whether fought as stags, bull stags or cocks, the four webbers surpassed standards as the blood line scored 75 % win average. The four webbers are witty and sharp cutters. They can really kill quick. They are very beautiful too. This line is favorite of buyers and friends. In the 2011 stag season, RB Sugbo-LT farm in Leyte scored a number of wins with the four webbers without a single loss. Along with RB Sugbo blakliz and ponkan, Steve’ s four webbers are now among the big guns in the arsenal of RB Sugbo-LT farm of Lemuel Go.
Another favored line of Steve is his LNLI, a blend of the mclean and yellow legged hatch. The LNLI is similar to the four webber in looks and in fighting style. The two lines have a common blood, the mclean. The patriarch of the LNLI is the original mclean brood cock from Alvin Lim. A son of this original mclean is the patriarch of the four webbers.
Thus, Steve make sure that he has ample reserve of the mclean strain. Likewise of the dink fair sweater from Bebot Uy and and the yellow legged hatch of Simon Rallos. These three bloodlines are instrumental in the production of the Scorpion Ox four webber and LNLI battle lines.
According to Steve he is now bent in propagating these three lines of his. Hopefully this year he can breed enough of these lines and make them available by others. Steve believes that good lines should be shared to others rather than kept by the breeder for his exclusive use.“ The satisfaction lies in seeing your bloodlines winning in the hands of as many friends and clients as possible.” he said.
