30:07 How do you decide when to break up a proven pair or try something new?
31:49 What do you consider an adequate Number of youngsters tested before one can determine the quality of the breeder? 6? 10?

40:00 Which OLR do you consider the best testing grounds of one’s birds? Or put differently, what region of the US (or world) provides the most rigorous test of one’s birds?
