Theres always next year. I used to only keep a dozen or so birds and I tried to pick out a national or two to go for. I know how hard it is to take when some of your birds get hawked etc
Novice Posted June 28, 2009 Report Posted June 28, 2009 There are only 2 on libline but the last update was 21:25. The coalburn pigeon is on and one at 20:25 to a Mr and Mrs partnership. Sorry I am not sure of their name or location as I am corn beef but the quoted time of 20:25 is correct.

Theres always next year. I used to only keep a dozen or so birds and I tried to pick out a national or two to go for. I know how hard it is to take when some of your birds get hawked etc With the type of racing we are experiencing we send on the fit birds some of which do well and some go down. At the end of the season we are left with a high percentage of birds which have been injured. We are unsure how this injury will effect the birds future performance but next years team consists of a disproportionate number of these birds which carry war wounds.
