Larry Lucas Posted November 12, 2008 Report Posted November 12, 2008 Have any of you raced the Super 73 line (81 NL 8115173) in the UK? Super 73 was bred and raced by Gijs Peters, Budel, NL and was the Dutch national ace pigeon in 1985. He was purchased by Campbell Strange, brought to the USA and founded a dynasty of superb pigeons.
ohiogsp Posted November 12, 2008 Report Posted November 12, 2008 I don't have any birds from the 73 but I do have a page from a Cambell Strange Catalog that might give you some info on super 73. If you click on this it will blow up.
Larry Lucas Posted November 12, 2008 Author Report Posted November 12, 2008 Thanks, ohiogsp -- good information for everyone. I have quite a few of the older OHF catalogs. Campbell got my sons and I into racing pigeons and we were club mates in the old WWC. The year he sold Oak Haven Farms he sent me some fantastic birds and put me in touch with those who had the best Super 73 breeders. It is now my main family of pigeons. Fantastic pigeons breeding generations of winners for those fortunate enough to get the good ones. Campbell sent some into Ireland and I think to Gary of Planet Bros, but I never heard anything about how they performed.
