whats a good middle distance family to fly 200-450 miles

 

birds bred from pigeons that have won at these distances , irrespective of " strain",, especially bred from winning pigeons flying over similar terrain  :)

I havent yet found a source for them but i guess the common sense approach is the man himself but that depends on price really.

 

I know F1 has them so will take a good look at what they have also.

Yes they are good pigeons. But remember Ron did the business when he managed Bert Fletchers loft in the 80's so I would imagine he would do well with any strain.

yes and both Ron and Bert are both genius  with pigeons and brilliant lofts too it would be hard to match there management system

Yes Spencer you can ask by all means -

 

Here at present i would think i have at least 12 families of pigeon, some in higher volumes than others (example 16 De Dobbelaers but only one Van Loon cross x Janssen)

 

My reason for this is quite simple - If i wanted to only sell pigeons then bang its one or two familes and these will be suffice and a damn site easier to sell however i want to compete so am always looking for pigeons with performance either in racing or breeding to move what i have to another level.

 

Some people may feel one family or even two or three are plenty and thats all they want - I have got myself into the habit of looking at the racing or breeding results, location, birdage before i look at the pedigree - Maybe this wont work but its a gamble i am more than willing to take.

 

The strain name is a secondary source of benefit to me which is why quite often when loading birds into my Loft software i click the strain name 'Heinz 57' rather than Bischarrt, Van den Bosche or Van de rhee.

 

Hope this anwsers your question sufficently.
