Earning a perch for life

Hi David yes i do the same method, but also double check whic birds bred them, to see what they have produced before are any of them still in race team have they been consistant, this will tell you whether to keep or remove on
Ken

Hi Ian i have not raced pigeon for 10 years, but i still help out my freinds with there pigeons

I still keep up to date with all what is going on with the pigeon game and have all the new video's when relieased

going to a clearance sale in a few weeks as the top prize winer in the midweek club is packing in......some of the birds have topped the fed so hopefully if its a genuine clearance sale they will be in it. depending on how much they go for im hoping to buy a pair of the best ones in the sale....

Hope u get what ur looking for David
Ken

thanks ken, hoping there are the birds which have won for him in the sale....there should be but ill have to keep my wits about me and make sure there is maybe proof of race wins on the pen, then ill try buy the fed winners...lol

ken, what would be the best to buy....the fed winner or the parents of a fed winner ?

i would be looking at the parents, see what they have bred have they bred multible prize winners or was the fed topper a one off, also look at the other birds on sale how many are out of that pair still there, get there early if you can so you can study them properly if in doubt dont buy
Ken

hi ken, i think its worth going along and at least having a look.......with me having only the one family im thinking it would be best to have some different strains as different races might need different types of bird to win it, as im aiming high in my yb racing next year i want to cover as many posibilities as possible and have a bird to win in whatever the weather...

im after 8 1sts ken....

i agree David u did me a favour with the young birds this year plus the Lindelaufs ive just brought in to cross into my own, If u dont find what ur looking for how would you like the late breds i bred for stock,
Ken

hi ken, i dont know what breeds these pigeons are in the sale but he flew in the midweek club so would they be sprint/short distance birds most likely ?

As mid week are only short races they are sprint but some fanciers just use them as training for distance racing, Widowhood men send the hens to Midweek races
Ken

ah right, so just because he is the highest winner in the midweek it doesnt mean they are that good ?

Find out how he did on saturdays did he fly national or opens talk to people at the auction to see if they know him

Ken

i remember him from when we raced before and know he races in a normal saturday club.....so ill find out how he did in that before i buy anything.

yes david must be flying well for you to buy pigeons off him

yes ian, ill let you know before the sale what i find out about how hes raced.....i know he is the highest prize winner in the midweek but dont know yet about his weekend racing at the normal club. if i can see a pair which has raced or bred ok ill have a bid on them and see if i get them.....

Yes david i would do my home work first before parting with my money

Good advise Ken

Good advise Ian

If i was you David i would leave my money in my pocket and have the late breds of Ken, that is an honest offer

like i said before the best pigeons you will get as a gift

Yes there is some truth in that Ian

shows on in november temple park is anyone going

No mate

Must say looking in the book and there's a sale for trevor taylor some nice pigeons in this sale from the right people
