Beanz Posted December 1, 2007 Report Posted December 1, 2007 I have 16 pairs of stock birds but only race 12 cocks so as you can tell some of the birds are not being used to their true potential so I have decided to part with some. In 2007 we won 9 x 1sts club and 3 x 1st Feds with old birds. The pair of Lemputteens were purchased from Mark Glossop of Rotherham when he finished in the sport, they have bred winners for me and others, a cock in my race team at the moment has won 1st Swainswick, 1st Swainswick again, 2nd Cheltenham, 3rd Mangotsfield 9th Fed, 3rd Frome, 3rd Cheltenham 24th Fed, 4th Cheltenham 16th Fed, 4th Cheltenham some of the lower positions he was beat by loftmates, a sister was given to a friend of mine and bred a bird in the first nest to be 2nd club 2nd Fed and has gone on to breed others also a grand daughter of the stock pair was 2nd club beaten by loftmate. I am asking £75 for the pair. The pair of Marcellis were purchased from Paul Donelly of Manchester and have also bred winners for me, a cock in the race team was 1st Cheltenham 2nd Fed, 2nd Penkridge 5th Fed, 3rd club 20th Fed and 5th club, a sister was 1st club Hereford, and another brother was 3rd club 8th Fed Poole. same price as the above £75 for the pair As stated above with only racing 12 widowhhod cocks only a few birds have been bred off these 2 pairs but they are breeding winners, I am carrying over 9 birds in my race team all are 1st prizewinners so something has to give, These birds have also not been pumped full of antibiotics and have natural resistance as I have my birds tested by Gary Spavin and use his herbs and only treat when necessary, if you are interested pm me but I am going out at 20-15 so will not be able to answer any questions until tomorrow. Paul

Beanz Posted December 6, 2007 Author Report Posted December 6, 2007 Lempetteens now sold thanks. Paul
slatey Posted December 7, 2007 Report Posted December 7, 2007 Lempetteens now sold thanks. Paul who ever bought them stole them paul i was talking to mark glossop about them yesterday
Beanz Posted December 8, 2007 Author Report Posted December 8, 2007 Hi Mark, yes m8 they were a steal but they are going to a good home and as I stated something had to give as I just have too many stock birds, it wasn't fair on the birds because what few I have bred off them were winning but with only racing the 12 cocks I just couldn't keep enough off them and the new owner will be able to breed a few youngsters off them to race, more often than not I only bred 2 off them each season and some of them I gave away to charity sales and friends. No chance of Mark starting up again then ? Paul
slatey Posted December 9, 2007 Report Posted December 9, 2007 hi paul no mark will never start up again
