I find all the red breeds interesting, the New Hampshire with its three different red shades; the RIR, originally once a sorrel, buff color but now exhibition stock is the darkest of all the red breeds; the Buckeye described as "rich mahogany bay," & color-wise as something between the N.H. and...

Quote: I am very thankful it is difficult to change the Standard . . . it should be; otherwise, no telling what we'd end up with. Correct me if I am wrong, Walt, but it seems that changes, when they do happen, are usually just refinement in language or better language. Chris
