Late Breds

[Roland]

Have 8, and hope to get another round. Make 20. Will leave hanging around open hole with odd chuck. See how they shape and what promise they show next season as to wether just a couple of 100 -150 races, and take it from there.

1st Sec 19th Open Ypres with a latebred and her G/sire was the Best pigeon i've raced in 10 years flying on my own, won a small fortune over 5 seasons. As a yearling with 4 nest flights he took £388 out of the Fed Maidstone race and scored every time i sent him. Also 8th Sec 10th Open Lan Fed Maidstone with a latebred Cheq Hen.

None of these birds were Raced or Trained as Yb's.

Say no more.

Too many spout that late breds mean 'Heavy losses' and are worst than early bred. That of course is a myth.

They bred umpteen youngster to combat the high losses from their first two rounds nigh Every year!

HMMM. No sure aboot that Roland! Some of us have small teams and only breed two rounds max and have nae room for late breds!

I take some every year off older stock that are purely for stock but they are murder tae keep in the right health and never have the same dicipline as my racing ybs!!

If the pigeon has got it then it has got it!!! dusnae matter when its bred???

[cemetary]

[Guest peter4pm]

ive bred around 15 latebreds ..just for the use as yearlings as im not expecting to have many youngbirds left after racing is over ..i might even have none at all lol

[Guest big slim]

Dont normally bother with late breds but ive taken 12 from best racers. Hope to give them some training and race to about 200 miles next year.

LATE BREDS ARE THE FUTURE!! 12 from your best racers,itake it you mean the birds that have completed the old bird races.i have a lot of faith,and have WON VERY WELL with latebreds.my advice for what it is worth is.do NOT!!train them this year,just leave them to MATURE,and i think you will find this a worthwhile exercise.or,try training 6 of your 12,and leave the other 6 to mature with no training.put the ones that are left on the road next year,and see which ones do best,even if you only get one good one out of your 12,then you have won a watch,after all look at it this way,if you breed a team of 60 naturals,question,WILL YOU GET 5 GOOD ONES LEFT OUT OF THEM?!!CHEERS,AND ALL THE BEST WEE BILLY K.

Good response Mr Flighty but you will no be breeding any if your are packing them in again.

Billys no chance of packing up, its in the blood

[john cumming]

 

i get the feeling the majority will be taking some later bred birds to compensate for the heavy losses that many are having

[Guest KING BILLY]

I don,t particularly hold much faith for late breds, how ever, with the heavy losses of youngsters at this early stage of the season, I was wondering, if any members were breeding late breds to compensate for their losses in order to have yearling for next year?

 

If so, will you be training them through the winter months, and race them as yearlings?

 

has anyone had much success with latebreds in the past?

 

THANK YOU

if you breed them now and treet them like darkness young birds in an end of thare own you could have a team of darkness late breeds to start next seson and fly them out to 300ml thay would be 7 month old darknes young birds and toss them all winter
