Last friday , we went to the farm , very late , to see our koi come in from the mud pond . 22 went in , and 22 came out . So that was a good result . It was noticeable , that some of the koi hadnt grown too much , but the bodies had become massive

, and the skin and sumi looked excellent ! 

First out was this Yonsai Kohaku , grew 3cm , and the body much bigger .

Its easy to see this year , only a few of the koi grew longer . But all of them have got much bigger bodies , and the skin quality has improved , and the sanke and showa sumi is varstly improved .

 

 So thats it , another trip over . I cant help thinking that this was a kind of a make or break trip , new agent , new shipping methods , and some new breeders . I aslo decided to cut back on go sanke purchases , especially more expensive ones . I think sales have proved that to be the right desicion , plus we have a lot of go sanke coming out of the mudponds  . So with all that in mind , to be honest , it has been a major success , we will be shipping around 100 boxes over the next few weeks , and the sales of koi while i was in Japan , where the best ever . So once again , thank for reading , and thanks for your support ...............Gary
