old bobby rome from annan, told me you dont need to the test the best bred one.s, its the other one.s your not sure about you need to test hard, and he was as good as any pigeon man in scotland
definitely not, i will always have a early race team for racing to be tested, im not as brave as peter.my late breds are only off the winners that year or my top stock birds
dont no % wise but i have a good number of late breds that win in the snfc, so i keep breeding late breds from my winners after racing, do you rear of your winners after national racing each year
i like some late breds as they are of your best racers in national racing that year, best time of the year to rear. had some good racers with these late breds as yearlings at the coast and carried on to win at the channel 500ml plus. in my loft
