Six of the Best!!
The stock loft is where your success – or lack of it will come from. You must always buy the best you can and study the breeding of the birds you are interested in. You should look to introduce birds from a winning family, with winning genes that can be traced back many generations. In the stock loft I inbreed and line breed to all my top pigeons. I am always looking for a good cross from another inbred family to introduce some hybrid vigour. Not many birds have stayed as they have not come up to my high standards. I have been very pleased with the introductions I have made in the last couple of years. I am confident they will add to the very high quality that my pigeons are famous for.
