| Carol with his son Chris Nesmith |
Once
you’re become a breeder, you’ll always be a breeder for life. Even if you
stopped from it, you will back to the things that you loved most. This is the
story of Carol Nesmit of Blackwater Farm that is based in Novou, Alabama in
America. He had already stopped from breeding, but after a short period of time
he was back in the limelight. For he missed breeding; it seems that his life is
incomplete without it.
Carol
Nesmith is also considered as one of the legends in American gamefowl scene. We
can rank him next to the late legendary breeders like Mel Sims and Johnnie
Jumper. Mr. Jumper became his close
friend and he considered as an idol. When this man was still alive; they were
acquiring chickens from their farms. Instead to compete; they were helping each
other.
Like other
breeders and cockers, Carol was also first involved in cockfighting when he was
still a child. He started from joining hackfights in their area until he joined
in major derbies. During his younger years, he travelled in many cockpits in
their country. Where ever he goes, he made a good performance. He already fought
here in the Philippines and he made a record when he won in World Slasher Cup.
This is only showed about his genius in breeding. He really knew how to produce
a good bloodline. Even big time breed has his chickens like Biboy Enriquez, his
Super Sweater was originated from Carol Nesmith.
Carol loves
to visit the Philippines because this is a haven for any cockfighter in the
world. He loves its culture and he is admiring the gamefowl industry here
because it is very active. Aside from joining World Slasher Cup, he already
attended at the World Gamefowl Expo and
bid his chicken in this big event. Last time, he also attended the first
Gamefowl Festival.
As of
now, Carol is more than 60 years, but this is not a hindrance to do all his
responsibilities in his farm. For him, breeding makes him feel younger because
he gets energy from it . This is only depicted that chicken breeding is also a form of
exercise. Look at his physical appearance, he still looks good despite of his
age. He is not worrying if time will come that he need to retire from breeding.
He can pass the farm to his son Chris Nesmith who is also a breeder. The good
thing also, his grandson named Nick also like chicken. So, the love for chickens
are already flowing in the blood veins of family Nesmith.
