Holderread's Golden Cascade ducks

[bh1duck]

Hi, I've been lurking BYC for a few months now and finally decided to join so I could start this thread...
I'm interested in Golden Cascade ducks from Holderread Farm and am hoping some of you can share some photos of this breed.

Thanks!

Welcome! One thing to consider about Holderread - they have a 10 duckling minimum per order. They have excellent ducks, but that alone has prevented me from being able to order from them. Do you need that many ducks - or do you have someone willing to take some? Just a thought

The 10 duckling minimum won't be an issue for me. I've been doing a lot of research and the plan is to order 15-20 then cull that down to 2-3 males and 6-9 females. I feel like I have a well thought out plan in place so I'm not really looking for advice, just photo's of Golden Cascades and direct experiences with this specific breed.

I found these examples showing the variation of Holderread's current efforts to establish this breed. http://ggranch-garden.blogspot.com/p/ducks_26.html?m=1
