Nantgwinau Welsh Cob Stud

As we stood looking at Carys standing so confidently beside her beautiful mother, Geler Rosann, we had no idea that the seeds of the Nantgwinau Stud were being planted. We had no thought of buying a filly at that time, nor of starting to breed welsh cobs, but we did agree that she was definitely the sort that we would like to own. A year later Carys was up for sale. Buying her with hardly any hesitation, our lives were changed forever!

Always supremely self-confident and sure of her place in the great scheme of things, Carys accepted her "translation" from Llangwyryfon to North Bedfordshire with good grace, quickly becoming a very important family member. Her first 3 colts were born in England, but in 1990 we were able to realise our dream and move to Wales, ending up only 30 miles from her birthplace.

Carys produced 3 more sons after our arrival at Pantycelyn - all by Derwen Desert Express. But sadly, whilst carrying the last of these, the first symptoms of laminitis and arthritis appeared. These two afflictions caused bouts of severe pain over the next few years and we felt she was never fit enough to put in foal again. By September 1999 the hardest decision was taken and Carys was laid to rest in the sunniest corner of a favourite field. We remember her as a tremendous personality and a true Welsh Cob mare who was a joy to know. Her sons are listed below.

1988 stillborn colt by Nebo Prince
* 89 N Sioni Du by Nebo Prince - sold to Mrs Anderson, Wrestlingworth, Beds, for driving
* 90 N.Harri by Fronarth Flash Harry - now owned by Val Spinks, Cheshire
1992 N Desert Spark by Derwen Desert Express - now owned by Kim and Craig Hunt, Cobblethrift Stud, Nr Ammanford
1993 N Flyer by D Desert Express - owned by G Waghorn, Swnynant Stud, Sennybridge
* 94 N Llwynog by D Desert Express - sold to D Steed Ebbw Vale

As many horses change hands several times in the lives, it's a fact that breeders often lose track of their stock, and have no way of knowing how they have developed. If anyone owns or knows of any Nantgwinau Cobs, or their offspring, we would very much appreciate news of them.

How An Email Marketing System Can Help You Increase Your Profit Rate

If you’re operating any kind of business via the channels and tools provided by the internet and you’re not taking advantage of email marketing, then you’re losing out on what could very well skyrocket your presentt profit by as much as fifteen-fold.

Truly, email marketing is the most effective promotional tactic on the web today.

Email marketing evolved from direct marketing via what we now know as “slow mails”.  Remember those moments when you opened thick envelops of nice looking brochures from companies advertising their wares?  Remember the number of times you did you suck up everything they delivered?  Do you still remember the number of nights you spent dreaming about the items they presented?  Are you still aware of the number of times you chose to buy what they were offering?

This is the efficiency of direct marketing, and such is the potency of email marketing.

Email marketing can be divided into 3 essential phases:

1.    Building a mailing list.  This includes developing a buzz event or product that will catch the interest of online users and providing for them goods of obvious value to encourage them to leave their contact details, particularly their email addresses.

2.    Developing a good relationship with the subscribers of your mailing list.  Email marketing is also labeled follow-up marketing, for the sole reason that it empowers the online entrepreneur to check up on his leads.  Following up does not equate to merely delivering sales pitches.  Truth to tell, internet entrepreneur are trained to establish their credibility, build up faith amongst their signees, and present their enterprise without being too pushy about things. 

3.    Sharing one’s pitch.  Without a doubt, the bottom line is still selling.  It must guaranteed that a good relationship is developed before the internet businessman try to push for his items that are available.  With a significant subscriber base that has learned to trust the web businessman, he would have instant connection to several potential customers who are most likely to acquire what he has to offer.

The engine of every email marketing campaign is an autoresponder service.  An autoresponder service allows the internet businessman to automate the entire process.  The autoresponder service can be left on auto-pilot to capture email addresses 24/7.  The autoresponder service can likewise automatically publish emails to the subscribers depending on prepared emails and preset intervals of deliveries.  Better yet, an autoresponder service can empower the web entrepreneur to build multiple mailing lists – say, one for new sign-ups, another for people who purchased once, and another for subscribers who purchased two times or more – and transfer members from one mailing list to the next.

Buying and Selling is Easy Using Online Auctions

If you’re looking for the fastest, easiest and most accessible route to purchasing stuff, it’s hard to beat the benefits of online auctions. For those who are always on the go, buying products from online auctions provides them with the most convenient means of shopping for a huge variety of items.

For a number of reasons, a lot of people today find online buying a very convenient way to shop. It has made it possible for people around the world to buy products that would otherwise be difficult to obtain or too expensive to consider. Nowadays, the popularity of online auctions means that most people have given them a try.

Selling Basics

It’s actually very easy to sell products using an online auction like eBay. It’s as simple as finding a good site and signing up for an account. You might find that a few of these sites charge a fee; however, most of them are free. Keep in mind, though, that quality sites that charge a fee usually offer service above and beyond the free sites.

Then you need to figure out what you can sell. Get your feet wet by auctioning off some of your stuff that’s just taking up space in the house. Once you have some experience, you might want to start shopping at garage sales, discount stores and factory outlets for merchandise that you can use for eBay online selling.

Before you start selling, carefully read the terms and conditions of the online auction site, and be aware of your responsibilities and potential liabilities. Maintain open and honest communication with your buyers so that you can avoid potential problems following a sale.

Buying Basics

Making a purchase from an online auction is considerably easier than selling your items. Just like setting up a seller account, you must register at the site of your choice before you are allowed to bid on an item that interests you. Before bidding on an item, be sure to check the seller’s reviews and history. This is valuable information as you make a decision on whether the vendor is trustworthy and can deliver as promised.

After you are comfortable with the seller’s reputation, you can go ahead and put in a bid. To make sure you get good value for your money, set a price limit for yourself so that the item you buy doesn’t cost more than it should, taking into consideration your time and effort.

You get better access to the stuff you want to purchase with online auctions. If you keep in mind some basic precautions, shopping can become so much more convenient.

GPS Tracking Handheld Systems

used GPS for sale

There are many different types of auto navigation systems. Among the many you will find those that come factory installed, those that are attached to the interior of your automobile through the use of suction cups, and still others that are handheld devices which can simply be installed by attaching a cord to your cars cigarette lighter. These devices don’t offer quite the functionality and ease of use as some of the other (need I say pricier) types of navigational devices but you should not be fooled by features that you might not find all that useful in reality.

Being a bargain hunter is what I do. There really is nothing I can do to change my thrifty (some might say cheap) nature. I like having nice things but would like to get them while spending as little money in the process as possible. For this reason alone I decided to seriously consider some of the many handheld navigational tools on the market today.

There are many reasons I find these devices attractive. First of all, they suit many purposes. Not only are they useful when traveling by car (if you purchase the right software of course), they are also quite useful when taking your travels off road as well. You can use them four wheeling in the country, riding horses in wide open spaces, hiking in the hills and mountains, or when getting away by bike for the day. My personal favorite use for these nifty tools however is on the side roads. I’m a horrible navigator and a mapping GPS rental handheld is just the thing to keep me on track and on target.

I don’t know about you, but I hate feeling as though I am completely and utterly lost. It is a frightening feeling that is only intensified whenever there are children on board during those lost moments in time. Only someone who has ever experienced that feeling while looking into the eyes of her babies and feeling so alone on top of being so lost can really understand. The fear can be overwhelming in these types of situations if they were to take place.

The best action to take is proactive. Avoid putting yourself in situations where you will feel lost. This of course, hasn’t always been possible in the past. If you’re traveling to a strange place, owning a navigational system can calm some fears of the unknown. Since there are those few times when we do become lost, it’s best to know that these systems can assist us to find our way back safely.

If you are looking for a great gift to give almost anyone on your Christmas list this year, a nice handheld GPS tracking system with mapping capabilities is a great gift to give. A gift like this should not wait until the holiday season, especially if it’s someone whose safety is your number one concern. I think anyone who drives, bikes, boats, floats, hikes, or rows could find a great deal of use for tools such as this, particularly females who enjoy these activities and occasionally enjoy them alone. 

No matter what your specific needs in auto navigation systems may be, there are many systems that could suit them quite nicely. Take the time to study what is available and reconcile your needs with your budget in order to find the one that will work best for you. Extra features on the GPS mapping systems makes them attractive when both in and out of the vehicle. Good luck in finding the perfect auto navigation system for you. It is out there someplace.

Buying Baby Clothing Complicated By Choices

When it comes to baby clothes there is no shortage of creativity or attempts at humor. Many Mom’s and Dad’s find themselves in a quandary of how much and what size to buy. There are Fashions from many different outlets that meet everyone’s sense of humor, sense of style and their sense of budget. The one thing most parents keep in mind when buying baby clothing is the fact that the infant may not wear it for very long.

From the time a baby is born until he or she reaches maturity, there are continuous and unpredictable periods of growth. These spurts can make it tough to determine what size the baby will be wearing from one week to the next and, even if there is a major sale on infant clothing, many Mom’s and Dad’s are disinclined to buy too many clothes as the infant may outgrow some of them before they have the opportunity to wear them.

Picking Out baby clothing as gifts for someone’s baby is just as difficult, as the baby can grow really fast in a few short weeks and an outfit that might be the accurate size the day it is purchased may be too small when they receive the outfit. For the most part it is better to buy baby clothing that is bigger than needed, giving the baby an opportunity to grow into it instead of having a dresser full of stuff they cannot wear.

Picking Out Sizes Can Be Confusing

Complicating the process of buying baby clothing even more than the growth spurts are the companies who seemingly do not follow the same guidelines on how their clothing is sized. A child who fits perfectly in a toddler size four from one manufacturer but a size four from a different manufacturer can either be too big or too small.

Most manufacturers also mystify those who do not have children, with their sizes of baby clothing by marking it for months, or in rare cases by the baby’s weight. Infant clothing is usually sized by months indicating an outfit will fit an infant. For example, from zero to three months or three to six months of age. Most Mom’s and Dad’s learn early that the age of the child is rarely a proper indication of the size of their babies clothing.

Many Mom’s and Dad’s will stick to discounted online vendors when it comes to buying baby clothing, knowing that the baby will likely grow out of it after one or two times of wearing it. Buying pricey designer infant clothes may make the Mom’s and Dad’s feel proud when they take their infant out and about, but the need for frequent replacement may soon succumb to common sense.

There Are Many Different Breeds of Chickens

Chickenauctions.com

The number of chickens in the world outnumbers the other birds by a vast majority, and can be found spread out around the entire world. Some of these chickens boast names from specific villages or towns such as the D’Uccle chicken, named after a town in Brussels, Belgium or the Pekin chicken named originating from China and named according to their culture. Because there are so many different kinds, it is nearly impossible to acknowledge all of them, but as to determining their worth or purpose, there are mainly three types of chickens, and their breeds are dependant on what they excel at.

If you are looking for good chickens to use for egg layers, these are most often referred to as laying hens. The breeds vary, but among the top breeds that have shown above average success in producing eggs are the Leghorn breed which lay excellent white eggs or the Rhode Island Reds known for their spectacular brown eggs. Although there is no difference between white or brown eggs except the color, some people like the brown eggs over the white ones. Choosing one or more from each category would give your coop’s egg production some variety. A rooster is not necessary for your laying hens to complete their jobs. They will maintain excellent egg production with or without a rooster on site.

Chickens being raised mainly for food, or for meat are referred to as fryers or broilers and usually require a different type of diet as well. To ensure the best quality of meat from your flock, it is necessary to determine in the raising process, what type of feed is best and what extra supplements they will require to produce the meat you prefer. The age of the broilers and fryers does affect the quality of the meat and whether it will be used as stew meat or otherwise. Knowing the market demand for different ages of chickens is necessary to figure out the best selling time for your chickens and when to purchase new ones. The best breeds for producing as meat are the Ross, Peterson, and the Arbor Acres chickens.

Perhaps you are wanting to raise chickens for both purposes, to lay eggs and as food consumption. There are some specific breeds that are the best choices for this type of bird. The Wyandottes, New Hampshires, and the Plymouth Rocks are the best in their respective classes for good egg production and excellent meat consumption. Keeping chickens healthy is as simple as making them stay in their coop. A healthy diet with focus on nutrition is needed, but for the most part the rest simply falls into place.

Knowing the market for buying and selling fowl is a must when you endeavor to begin raising them for whatever purpose you have in mind. Knowing and understanding the supply and demand issues in your local area is easier to begin with and as time passes, you will understand the breeds you have chosen, better, and will be able to handle them more expertly each time around.

How To Simply Incubate Hatching Eggs

Chickenauctions.com

When trying to begin hatching eggs using the incubation method, you must first be certain you have gotten the best eggs available. Some tips to consider when gathering the eggs desired for incubating are as follows:

– avoid eggs that are either extremely large or small
dirty eggs should not be used
– check for thin or cracked shells, as these should be avoided as well.
try to keep a variety of eggs that are non-related (sister, brother, etc.)
– do not wipe or rub on the eggs before incubation, this causes germs to be forced into the shell through the pores.
– start with the cleanest eggs available

Once you have taken the advice listed above, you are ready to begin readying your eggs for the incubation period. Since the embryo is beginning to develop at an early stage, proper care is necessary and important. Gathering eggs on a daily schedule is advised, starting with three times daily unless the outside temperatures rise above 85 degrees. If this happens to occur, you should gather the eggs at least four times daily.

Deciding on the best incubator is an important step in caring for the eggs, and knowing what the basic types are will aid you in your choice. The two most common types of incubators are still air and forced air. The smaller of the two is the still air incubator and it has no fan for air circulation. An entry base allows for cool fresh air to come in once the natural rise and escape warmed air process is completed. The larger and more popular incubator is the forced air style that includes a fan to circulate the air inside. These can vary in size from large to industrial and the right temperatures for the best hatching conditions vary between the models.

When you use a forced air incubator the recommended temperature is 100 degrees F . If this temperature is not kept constant during the incubation period, the chances that the eggs will be ruined and not hatch are very high. The incorrect temperature is the most common cause of poorly hatched eggs. The other common reasons are poor sanitation, lack of proper ventilation and neglectful egg turning.

The still air incubator will require a temperature of 102 degrees F for good hatching results. Because this temperature is higher, it necessitates frequent temperature checks, and the use of the best quality thermometers. The control of the humidity is important during the incubation process, and is an extremely important factor in the eggs development. if the humidity is too high or too low, the proper forming of the shell and the embryo will not be possible and will also result in poor hatching.

Along with the temperature being an important factor, is the oxygen supply. Proper amounts of oxygen for the embryo’s growth and development is necessary as well as turning of the eggs. A good flow of oxygen should be made available, especially in still air incubators without affecting the temperature. Following this process is the turning habits. In the still air incubator, this is done manually and requires a steady and gentle hand and is necessary four to six times a day. In a forced air incubator, this is done automatically, but still requires monitoring.

The Many Different Breeds of Bantam Chickens

Chickenauctions.com

To better understand the numerous types and kinds of bantam chickens, we need to understand the actual definition of the word. When used in reffering to fowl or chickens, the term bantam is used for any extremely small fowl. The way most people have understood this rating is by understanding that for most of the regular breeds of chickens there are some bantam counterparts. These are most often 1/4 to 1/5 the size of the regular chickens, thus earning them the addition of the term miniature or bantam to their original name.

When taking into consideration the original namesake of bantam, this chicken or fowl has no standard counterpart. The most popular and commonly known bantam chickens are the Dutch bantam, the Sebright bantam, the Japanese bantam and the Dutch bantam. Due in part to their size and ease of care, bantams have rapidly risen to the top of the list as pets used primarily for shows or competitions. Because of their size, they require far less food, space, and maintenance resulting in their previously mentioned status as preferred pets.

Some of the most widely known breeds of bantam chickens are the Cochin, Japanese Bantams, common Bantam, Barnevelder, Old English Game, Polish chicken, D’Uccle, Pekin, Serama and the Sussex bantams. The following are brief descriptions of them:

The Cochin bantam is one of the largest breeds of bantams with the male known for weighing in at a surprising 5 Kg. (11 pounds). This particular bantam breed was introduced in China as the Chinese Shanghai and later exported to America and Britain. Another bantam breed closely related and developed from this breed is the Pekin bantam.

Japanese bantams most commonly referred to as Chao, are literally spread world wide. These chickens are mostly used in shows and as pets.

Barnevelder bantam is one of the most popular breeds of bantam chickens for shows, carcass, and egg production. Producing rich brown eggs is their specialty and they are natural foragers on top of being a medium heavy breed which makes them excellent for either gaming or food.

Old English Game bantams also make excellent pets for children and are a source of special shows in the United Kingdom for this specific popular breed. This bantam breed is almost opposite to it’s standard counterpart, the Old English Game chicken in that it lacks an aggressive nature.

The Polish chicken is primarily bred for their show abilities due to the fact their appearance is almost beautiful. Boasting such colors as pink, purple, and blue, these bantams do not sit on eggs, but produce stark, white eggs.

Uccle is a town on the outskirts of Brussels, Belgium and is the namesake of the Barbu D’Uccle bantam with soft feathers. This chicken received it’s name from the French, translating as Bearded of Uccle.

The Pekin bantam, which has feathers on their legs and feet together with plumage that hangs to the ground, have been referred to as a “walking tea-cosy”. Noticeably smaller, measuring in at 15 – 35 centimeters and are commonly known for their mothering instincts.

The Serama bantam breed of chickens is basically still being produced as we speak. Although they are currently known as the smallest chickens in the world, their breed has not been bred true as of yet, which means breeding them can result in any color, shape, size, etc.

The Sussex bantam is one-quarter the size of it’s standard counterpart, better know as the most common of backyard chickens in different countries around the world.
