yep ob season nearly done just 2 more club races then 2 free weeks but im getting some down on eggs ready for tarbes international and same wkend theres an open race from france so will be a good chance to get yearlings over the water. then the bit i dread yb training and racing still havent really looked at my ybs yet will have to start soon i spose atb clive

us in the south have had a hard season racing sth as headwinds every week the north rders down here havent had a hard race all season our vel on sth havent been above the 1300s but north theyve been getting over 2000 vel so for me id rather stay sth rd harder and dont end up with a loft full of birds that have had it easy jmo atb to all clive

happy b day m8 21 again ehh

personally i wouldnt start training yet let them range they will learn more that way and tbh a mile is a waste of time i would start at 10ml and keep them there theres more yb losses from shorter distances than starting longer jmo and at the momment theres alot of birds floating about and the weather is just not good enough yet for yb training m8

personally i would take stans advice as its all good another thing that may help naturals i would hopper feed as they dont eat as much then but if its in front of them all day then they only eat what they want trap them with conditioning seed then they wont carry to much extra weight then thats how i used to race my naturals with success from longer distances atb to you on your first race m8 clive

had a 2yr old drop on loft thought it a stray it flew through yb trap on checking ring nos found id lost it off loft as a sqeaker feathers well weathered seems a nice cock prob try it on rd nxt yr if space for it after season finished atb clive
