Stock loft or race loft..?If he has a strike rate like that with his youngsters think you already know the answer yourself A racer now adays only as good as its last race A consistent breeder of winners gold dust
philg50 Posted December 29, 2014 Report Posted December 29, 2014 Take him off the road breed from him for a year or two if a success ok if not train him up and put him back on the road nothing lost ,imo.Fowk would give their eye teeth for a bird like this.

KIDDON Posted December 30, 2014 Report Posted December 30, 2014 Stock loft and fill your loft with his children
andyyy Posted December 30, 2014 Author Report Posted December 30, 2014 I was just asking a genuine question, one or two people have said stock him, he's currently paired, and still in the race loft with some intention of racing him. He single reared a young cock but with a few personal problems I stopped the cocks after the 2nd race and just raced the hens for the young bird season. Thanks for the replies.
PATTY BHOY Posted December 30, 2014 Report Posted December 30, 2014 Defo stock,fill yer loft with his offsprings.

Stock loft or race loft..? Breed off him then race him, breed off him again when he stops racing at 195 mls, plenty of time to get a few from him every year getting best of both worlds ...
