Dalesman Posted August 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 I have decided to buy a loft from Ecco.Now for the next stage - what do I need equipment wise for the loft and where do I purchase good quality stock birds (I only plan to keep a max. of 3 pairs) ? Is it worth buying from the continent or am i as well off buying here in the UK ?What do I need to spend per bird to get something that has a chance ?Is it reasonable to buy a pair for 1)sprint, 2)middle distance 3)long distance or should I concentrate on the requirements of local club races ?
