so next year is going to be my first be starting with young birds hoping to have around 40 how would you go about your first season if you stated again ? race the full program and see what is left over and buy extra in if things dont go to well or race all to say 200 miles then save for yearlings or should i just take each week at a time and see how the team holds up.

this can be a hard question to answer, if you have 40 first they have to be of good birds then you need to know if you can get more if needed or bred then you have to race them and what can then happen is 1 week they fly good the next bad and you loose some then get to thinking the odd one you loose is crap, but hawk got it and you dont know anything about it so you give up on that type family but the ones that made back from the races could also be just ploders and they might not be good to keep either, so very hard you need luck and have a few pigeons show up in side race time mainley, yet if birds are not quite fit or healthy the will let you down, lots of things to decide what i would say give good traing first on good days with other people that tells if your bird is up with there home times it gives you a idea how your birds are healthy and fit. hope this is ok and you take something out of it

Way things Are in todays racing is a hit or a miss IMO All you can do is race what you have

And see how they perform ,select the One's that do ok And breed of them ,And give up on the

The also ran ,let the basket tell you what to keep.

I would have intentions of giving them every race BUT that wont happen. You'll encounter bad weather, the moult and if your unlucky the birds being ill. You'll find you'll have to bob & weave throughout the young bird program....... like we all have to.
