Well Bred Yb To Race.

[lanarkshire lad]

Whats the average or maximum you would pay for a yb to race here in west central scotland considering the obstacles they have to face on there journey home.

[ALF]

I SUPPOSE IT WOULD ALL DEPEND ON EVERYONES DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES JIM

[Delboy]

£50-60

[lanarkshire lad]

£50-60

aye i think that would be about the average.I widnae want to pay much more than that to put it on the road.

Your right alan.

[sapper756]

Personally, I would not pay more than £50 for an untried bird to race. JMOhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0167-beer.gif

[Roundo]

I wouldn't pay anymore than £50 for a yb to race.

For breeding, well thats a different story.

Living in this area I'm sorry I wouldn't be having £50 notes flying round for percy to feed on, £30 max for me better at £20.Bought 12 in last season four never got a training toss.Do the hawks know which you've bought in or have your own youngens something bred into them???????

[VMS]

£30 TO RACE FOR ME. :santa-dance:

[Guest IB]

For me, it wouldn't come down to cost alone: It's whether I thought the bird(s) would put me where I wanted to be on the results sheets; could I afford to pay the asking price , and lastly would it be in my best interests to pay that?

[Guest homestead]

working mans prices to race for me £25- £30 some well known flyers Albert Babington early bred youngsters £35 later bred £25..... Mr Mrs Green Birmingham who do win regularly £25 so you can have some success without paying to much.

[budgie]

They need to be tested no matter the cost.If you pay £50 you race it if you pay £100 its goes to Stock dont think thats the route to go down.We bought a youngster of Jim Donaldsons double sect winner last year it had 6 races.This year it will be paired to the 2% 6 will be taken from it and she will race to 250mile.If at the end of the young bird season none survive it will go to the National the following year and if it makes it then and only then it might get a box in the stock loft . for 2 years only and if it leaves nothing it will be binbag the sailor

TO ENCOURAGE FOLK TAE RACE EM AT THINK £30 -£35 IS PLENTY

 

ALTHOUGH ON SAYIN THAT I BOUGHT A BLUE HEN IN THE 3 FIGURES BRACKET IN THE SNRPC SALE AND A GAVE HER 4 RACES , DEFO WISNY GOIN TAE STOCK

[Guest spin cycle]

IMO prices quoted are to high..... 20 pounds tops

[kirky]

there is always plenty of kits of 6 at £100 for raceing.

[gulkie]

I agree 25-30 is more than enough and at that price you may be

lucky and get a good one.at that price no one is going to give

you of their best.not in this game.

[budgie]

Getting them of the best and knowing what is the pre-potent pair (which you cant purchase )is the problem.Unless they are over 10 years old and buy thier best then they will be off-loaded for silly prices.

[REDROCKET]

£40s the limit for me although my partners may not agree. bought 2 hermans 3 year ago 1 took 2 fed ticets as y/b then 2nd in a club race as a 2yr old thats good enough for me and thats how i came to the £40 ordered another 8 for february heres hoping.

[cemetary]

To race i would say £30 -£40,

[eastcoaster]

I have 4 that cost me £100 each as ybs that will be racing as yearlings all bred atsome of the top scottish lofts , but don`t see a problem breeding from incomers and race their offspring ! you get the same end result the but a couple of years earlier . merry xmas awbody

[clockman]

£25 each,

i have one from jim`s double sect winner which is a g/son of reims girl ! don`t know what yours is like butnot convinced about him ?? this will be his first season breading (L/B 2009)

[Guest bakes]

£20 to £30 no more specialy to race if it was bought for stock to put over a bird thats already proven in the basket and bird in question is proven as well totaly different story how much i am willing to pay and wonce its gone past that far play to the winning fancier that wins it but wouldnt pay good money out on bird to go in race loft just to loose iver raceing or taken by pob or loose of top loft but thats just my own views

atb.

[JohnQuinn]

There is NO limit on what i would pay, IF it was a doo i really wanted and IF i had the the Money. We all strive to do the best we can and if i think some doos will improve my team, i will buy them, NO MATTER THE COST. I t all depends on your perspective.
