Rooster J. Cogburn

Dare I say this is better than the Neil Diamond original

49 this week Otterburn with the NW fed,79 miles to us Hoping for a good one

Where are yous racing from this weekend Rab?

Yours only have to face it though if they go too far over Rab

Would be nice to add to your collection if you could afford them.The history attached to these birds is comparable to very few others. Be interesting to see if they will breed winning pigeons for the new owners One things for sure in todays market anything spent will probably be made back in a couple of seasons

Will see how this week pans out,its the same racepoint as our fed race but I suppose it gives ye another race to watch. To be decided

Aye hes got them coming well Was pleased to see him win the south section last week Back to the drawing board for Otterburn lol.Ye sending any to the Boness Open John?

Best of the rest I'm afraid 4th place wi the same bird as last week-timed at 24past,Hughie's first was at 25past Got Hughie in the knockout next race so will have to have a talk wi them this week Yous had a sare race Stevie??

You'll maybe struggle to get young birds for racing at this stage of the season

Aye not too bad Scotty,beaten by Hugh again hes got them coming well Good race returns wise,they were all home in no time Well done again

Very well done

I don't have the result to hand to rhyme off the top ten and their velocities but well done to Hughie and Ruby Menzies on taking the first three positions and winning for the second week running

Well done Scotty

Well done Martin,good racing

Its not up yet so thought I'd post it

Been looking over the Piet Deweerdt grading system of late. Will have a wee look at the birds this year and see if the returns/results conform wi what he says

What forecast ye looking at Rab? The coldest I have seen is 9 oC ?

Same team as last week.25 birds

Motivation-not of the pigeons,of the fancier

Times are a changin' ALF lol In the last four years the Ogilvies have been 2nd,1st,20th and 2nd in the NW fed first race

got beechwood chips on the floors of the young bird sections. Good for heat,keep dust down and just needs a rake over each day as you clean the perches

Well done to the Grants Good race had by the Ogilvies Tam Blair and Duncan Cowan picking up where they left off last season
