:X :X :X Just wondring weather to answer, ;D ;D lol Tammy-1. What would you call a "latebreed" ? But i dont uasllay breed a second round of y/b as i like to train all mine at the same age.& moult at  the same. Othefs might have a diffrent opion.But if i was to have a team of latebreed breed for me i think i would see if i could get some training in & a few later races, them see how thay flew as yearling. Hope ya followed the line of this post ;D ;D ;D . dreading the answer here :X :X Speck

A GOOD JOB YOU DID ANSWER NOBODY ELSE WOULD HAVE!!! WHAT I TERM AS A LATEBRED IS A YOUNG BIRD THAT IS NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO CATCH THE RACING.AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO DREAD THE ANSWER I'M ONLY GOING TO ASK IF YOU WENT TO SCHOOL.?DID YOU SEE THE PHOTO?

I have limited experience with any age of pigeon but this is my experience:  there seems to be differing opinions about late breds. Some fanciers I know get their best results from them. Were given some 8 latebreds August 2004. Most were lost during racing 2005, had one left did the full inland program last year, but didn't score. Lost from 1st race this year. 2 of our own latebreds 2005, bred from our only winner - lost off loft before training started this year - so very negative experience from me. I wouldn't want any latebreds again thank you....

if you have late breds then give them loads of training or you will be disapointed as yearlings and will lose them

[jimmy white]

theres an interesting poll. post on latebreds on page 2 racing pigeons

[keano]

i always thought a late bred  was reared after the old bird season had finished.

In my experience latebreds are OK if you want them for breeding but racing them is a different ball game you can give them as much training as you like but if they hit a bad race as yearlings about 80% of them will go down

shadow my friend over the fence from me sent six latebreds and two other birds to our race on saturday which was a great day he never got any late breds that day he got one on sunday and he is still five short and i think that validates your post even .though this was a great racing day

2nd sec 20th MNFC old hens with a latebred last year 1978 won Thurso with 2yr old latebred

[Joe90]

this year i have had a 20th fed with a late bred out of 2000 birds, but they had a bit of training last year

[jimmy white]

i also have been lucky with latebreds, i really think theve got to be nursed till 2yo

had a latebred never raced as yb, 3 races as yearling then dropped it came home the following wed, kept it for a fortnight ,sent it again ,was my second bird, this was about150 miles, stopped for the season ,as a two year old won in excess of 1000 pounds  [maybe exeption to the rule, but this bird won untill it was 4 yo , i then gave it back to my friend who bred it]
