Medium-stationed birds are not at any disadvantage to high-stationed birds just because they are so. Always consider gameness, good timing, fighting smarts like evasion and high breaking, and accuracy of hitting.

Medium-stationed gamefowl have longer thighs which sometimes are better than long-legged fowl because your rooster has better control of the lower legs and knife action. If the knife or gaff is attached closer to the ground, as with medium stationed gamefowl, this adds reach or length to a rooster’s hitting.

High stationed birds fight better if the gaffing used is Long-Knife. They are beautiful to look at, or ‘guapo’ in local parlance, and roosters that stand tall usually extend a stronger kick at an opponent faster and with greater reach, attacking from outside.

If the bloodline is a good cutting machine, high stationed gamefowl are often preferred for birds that fight in the air.
