I have plenty of seed available if you need 935 Lloyd genetics to use for pollinators. These were grown as purification crosses and not for weight or competition and were "lovingly" cared for.
The 650 Lloyd '99 was a (880 Lloyd X 935 Lloyd).....the 880 Lloyd is the same cross as the 935 and was grown the same year, also was 7.5% heavy.
So, the (650 X self) cross could be looked upon somewhat as a 935 Lloyd X sib x self.
I also grew a 650 Lloyd X 659 McCallum '00 cross.
The 659 McCallum is a 1092 Burke x self. So there you have a (935 Lloyd x self x self) X (880 x 935)
I also sibbed the 659 McCallum which was an aggressive grower.
And lastly, I made a (650 Lloyd x 911 Waterbury). The 911 was an 876.5 Lloyd x self. Interesting match.
So, if you're interested in any of these they would make great pollinators for crossing some 935 genetics into another line. Send me an e-mail and I'll give you the address to send a SASBE.
Good luck to all in 2004!
