Is Anybody Considering buying new stock from the One loft races?

I am excited as I managed to purchase a pair of pigeons in the online auction of the Belgium Master sale, to hopefully strengthen my breeding team for the coming season in the UK oneloft racing and in Portugal club racing.

There are two other auctions occurring right now , the North coast classic one loft and the Emerald Classic. has anyone else done or Is anyone else planning to do the same?

not me kev but all the best with your new acquisitions i hope they serve you well

I bought a bird last year from europa sale, it came in 567th in the final race payed £15 for it as by then everyone had bought all the birds and had no money left...I only bought it because it was a premie stud bird they donated and they never sell thier own birds for less than a ton. So I just bid as the hammer went down and didnt even see the bird.....anyway it turned out to be a smashing koopman blue cock which has now bred me the best youngsters for me this year, I know I go on about losses down here all the time but I bred 4 from it and they are all still there after training and 4 races.

Well done Martyn fair play mate good buy

well done martyn, got the bird for nothing........................it just goes to show what you can get if your in the right place at the right time eh.

just let;s you see you don;t have two pay big sum;s of money to buy the wright bird.

Hi Darren, I managed to purchase a blue cock 21st acebird and 31st open in the final overall flying time 64th and I also got a blue hen who was 33rd open in the 2nd race and 12th open in the 3rd race. she fluffed her lines in the final but she arrived 7am on the 2nd day finishing 139th in the final and 69th overall flyingtime bird.
There were only 130 birds from 503 on the day and it was a headwind with 286 miles to race, all 4 of the acebird races were completed in a 18 day period, the distances were 97 miles, 132 miles, 165 miles and the final 286 miles, so it was a tough task for all of the birds.
The tricky bit is getting them from Belgium to me, lol.

sounds like a good buy kev they have been well tested .....geting birds to these shores is bad enough hope their transportation runs smoothly for you atb

whats that all about why you confused whats to be confused about , its a fact

well done ian not many can say they house a national winner has he bred you anything decent ian

unfortunately not daz , i have him paired to a hen that won the youngbird national, havent bred anything decen will try him with a different hen this year and hope i get something decent , just goes to show winners dont always breed winners

your right there, i best pigeons which where pure bred nothing for us untill we crossed them ,then we hit it lucky

heard of this a lot ray, crossing pure breds does sometimes produce good birds........have you noticed there are a lot of dehaens doing well lately in the weekly results ray ?

I've seen them david, glad I got the dhanens of mine when I did as they will end up going up in price lol

its like alot of the older strains they need to be crossed to re-invigorate the blood as many are to inbred

Ian you have never won a national race you may have won a first Club and first Fed when you were competing in the national but not won the national out right

if i am wrong which you may prove, when did you win the Folkstone national and what year was it
