Latebred's

[schouwman71]

i breed late breds off my best stock birds and dont train them a all that year,i just let them fly out and mature,i have put some on widowhood year after and won with them also being well up in the combine beating the ones that have raced as youngsters,like mentioned earlier you just have to be a little patient with them and if they are any good they will shine. good luck with them,please let us know how you get on with them during racing.

well my late breds gone through the winter with plenty of training just paired them up in a loft together with a few of other ybs that i either lost or hens which were paired to widowhood cocks last year which im giving a try this yeat as my main team are on the widowhood & roundabout gives me more time to stedly train this team up & maybe race them

just out of curiosity, latebred bred from brother sister mating 3d club madstone, ist year on the road, never trained as yb [approx 370 miles]bred from sir colin, same fancier won the race with a g, son off sir colin, so i was quite chuffed :)

    Can be very useful in stock loft, need alot of patience to race them and its hit and miss I 've found.

yes, i agree their more important for stock purposes, but they can still win, which i found out by accident

:-/ Well must addmite im not a lover of late breeds, as it means a lot off scedule training,as i like all the birds over at the same time,but must say i did breed on that i did breed for stock :o but it was the most ugly pigeon ya have ever seen, so i gave it 1 y/b race ,as due to the moult . left it a year on a natural systyem moved it to the widow loft this year, as a 2 yr old  ;D ;D & so far it has 4 x 1st, club & 1x12th fed & 1x14th fed, that racing inland thought, but as a yearling he was sent over the channel,no good,had a few fed card, so gave him the benifit of the dout & sent him inland, hes ernt his pertch for nect year, so i think it depends on the fancier, mind you i wont breed any more late breed.

With most late breds they do not have time to get in a whole body molt and without that molt they are doomed.  IF you do raise late bred birds do not forget to at least train them out to a minimum of 30 miles or so and then its probably not good to race them the first ob season..  Just my experience anyway.  Ed
