The cold in Arkansas has no effect on the Redear....they are plenty cold tolerant. The shortages have come from millions of ducks devouring the ponds and targeting the redear Hopper-Stephens lost millions of Redear to the ducks last year too.


First I've heard of that. I was told it was the cold by an employee of Jones Fisheries that works out of Ft. Wayne, Indiana.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
