Individual 1St Federation Winners

[Roundo]

As our birds complete their moult we have started to turn our attention to the birds we will be looking to sell as we are no longer racing, therefore only a few favourites will be retained.

 

When looking through the remaining birds, I was pleased to see there are at least 10 'individual' 1st Federation winners, with a few being multiple prize winners.

 

All this from a small team of racers housed in a 18 x 6 loft.

 

Out of curiosity, how many individual 1st Federation winners are currently housed in your loft?

Perhaps a more meaningful question would be how many federation winners do you house in your lofts whose performances were achieved at distances over 300 miles?

Ive not been in a fed in 8 years Robert. The best I had was when I raced only 12 birds one year and had 6 fed toppers and 2 SNFC section winners out them. Small is beautiful lol

Small is beautiful that is what I constantly tell the wife but she is unimpressed.

Without trying to demean anyone I was trying to highlight the fact that there are races where quality of pigeon is more important than others

Oh what we wouldn't all give for a team of 12 top quality birds.

HAHAHA Your right m8

To be honest when I am buying pigeons to breed off I am more interested in what they have bred before not how well they have raced.

Not even a club winner let alone a fed winner

Out of the guys that top the fed quite regular at races under 300 mile I wander how much if any live a not so good loft location enough said.
