Michael J Burden Posted December 8, 2015 Report Posted December 8, 2015 Just to let anyone know the pigeon who is 13 years old and named the Eric Fox cock was bred at Eric's loft from two birds which I had bred and raced. The sire being half Eric's bird crossed with a pigeon called Eggbert who I got as an egg from the lofts of W Goddard and Son of Bradford who were awesome fanciers in the 1980's upto 725 miles. The dam of the Eric cock was bred by me and rung with one of 9 rings which were the same as my works number. ie 4279. She was bred from an eric Fox bird that I raced as a yearling up to 660 miles and he won the following year in a smash race at 660 miles. He was paired back to his grand dtr who flew 660 miles as a yearling winning a high place in the NFC. Her grand mother was raced by Colin Shimwell who was timed at 580 miles into a NE wind at 1 minute to 10pm. She was the furtherest flying bird by over 60 miles that day. The sire was the sire of my 1st section Pau 660 miles. A truely well bred bird who has proved himself as a breeder. If I was not 4 1/2 hours drive away I would not hesitate to try to buy him his off spring back. Atb with the sale I hope they get their true worth and breed you the goods. MJB
