rasbull Posted November 15, 2009 Report Posted November 15, 2009 I have decided to offer this cock up for auction. He is a full brother to 38th Open Europa Classic 2008. Bred and purchased in 2008 direct from Les Parkinson after having pick of 50 young birds from his stock birds. He is a Tav-Rigole pigeon. National Winners all through the pedigree. Only have taken 2 young birds off him. For sale after recent purchase of 12 'Raced' stock birds. Bidding will end Wednesday 10pm. The bidding starts at £20. Cheers and good luck
rasbull Posted November 15, 2009 Author Report Posted November 15, 2009 Hopefully a better view of the pedigree. Cheers

pjc Posted November 15, 2009 Report Posted November 15, 2009 Nice looking bird but a pedigree designed to big it up though!
rasbull Posted November 18, 2009 Author Report Posted November 18, 2009 Auction ends tonight 9.59.59 for this cock! The price he is at now he really is a snip. A full brother was 38th Open Final Europa Classic 2008, 310 miles, 1174 birds. Only bred in 2008 and only ever taken 2 youngsters off him....got to be worth giving him a chance, surely??????
rasbull Posted November 18, 2009 Author Report Posted November 18, 2009 1h and 45 mins to go before close of auction!
Roland Posted November 18, 2009 Report Posted November 18, 2009 I feel lucky! I also have bought the Busseart hen of Rasbull to mate with this cock bird. I feel that they will make a nice matched pair. Am surprise at the price as I thought I'd have to go a lot higher for 'Rasbull' birds. So I am more obviously more than happy.

Roland Posted November 18, 2009 Report Posted November 18, 2009 Thanks Bakes, I have too. You don't miss much do you lol ;D ;D I have a necleus of birds now. Also with some from Dooman, Albears, Fletchlives, plus have just agree now with Tammy's for that 'Black Pair' of proven breeders too. Then that Red off Lewadebob, which certain looks the part too. I also have to visit Frank Bristow for some birds, which I have also, only trouble is I am pretty well up to full quota. I have, as I've often mentioned, have a lot of crap down the shoot these last 4 years. Have had to re - access and put the situation right. These will stay with me 1 - 2 years tops. I don't like prisoners, and further see no point in them. If one feeds and looks after the genes / blood every year 'Just Incase' or to offset losses etc. then pretty soon you lose any progress you may make by simply having too many birds. In general I liken it to a Mum and Dad parent situation. One couple have 2 kids, the other couple 11. Now all are loved and cared for to both parents best abilities. Nothing is too much trouble or expence to either ... within their' means. Which kids prospers most? Most of us can't afford to be big team players, so we have to clip and hone and devise certain traits and systems within our means to obtain and to reach our goals. Every bird is welcome to stay at my 'Hotel'. each has good feed and fresh clean water. A good clean air circulation. Plenty of chances to prove themselves under Mr Baskets' regime when fit and healthy. The only yard stick first off of course is against 'Loft mates' then Club and Fed etc. Each one decides whether it wants to stay or leave. All I ask is that they fly for me, after all I have built into them some contentment and love of Home. Hopefully a desire to be here. But they will have to earn their' perch in return, then a 'Nest Box'. is awarded those that deserve one on merit. So once I have 15 pairs of proven racers that want to be here, like and appreciate my system, I hopefully will be in the good position of not needing 'Stock birds, a not needed drain on my time, effort and wallet lol.
