These results bode well for the future of our breeding loft and test loft scheme. Work doesn't stop here though as we are already planning our breeding pairs for next year which we hope will produce even better performances and we hope to confirm news of a new test loft joining our scheme later in the year.

Work is also underway in altering the loft which we believe will enable us to move forward again next year. More news on this when it is complete.

I would like to say a big thank you to Mr & Mrs A.Winder and Moulds and Slatter for keeping us updated throughout the season and giving these youngsters the best chance to obtain decent results.

Defeat is not an option!

1st Federation and 12th Federation for two test lofts!

Wow......5 races into our test loft scheme and we have received news that a Grandchild from our No.1 stock cock Rasbull Semtex has won 1st Club, 1st Federation from 2,834 birds. Huge congratulations to Mr and Mrs A.Winder who topped the Rhondda Valley Federation.

The Sire of the winner is Rasbull 27 who is a direct son from Rasbull Semtex, 4th Open, Welsh Jubilee Race, 500 miles, when paired to Rasbull Aquaflight who finished 2nd Open, Yearling Somerset One Loft Race 2013 from 389 miles, winning £6,000 before being purchased by Rasbull Lofts.

The Dam of the winner is Rasbull Kulpa 699, who was purchased from S & P Kulpa from one of their top breeding pairs. This pigeon is from only her third nest with us. She is a full sister to 6 x 1st Club, 5 x 2nd Club, 4 x 1st Federation, 4 x 2nd Federation, 2 x 4th Federation, 2 x 5th Federation, plus many others.

A Brother to the 1st Federation pigeon finished 3rd Club, 125 birds  for Mr & Mrs A.Winder in the previous weeks race, so this pairing has started off well in their breeding careers!

In addition to that success, we can also confirm that Moulds and Slatter finished 9th Club, 12th Federation, 2,834 birds with a pigeon out of Rasbull Kulpa 700 when paired to Rasbull Nefertiti.

The Sire is Rasbull Kulpa 700 and is the nestmate to Rasbull Kulpa 699 who bred our 1st Federation winner mentioned above, so this looks like a very promising pair given they are also full Brother and Sister to 4 x 1st Federation winners plus 4 x 2nd Federation!

The Dam is Rasbull Nefertiti who is a Koen Van Roy pigeon and Daughter of his No.1 breeding cock 'Lucky 29'. Rasbull Nefertiti is Half Sister to 'Zwarte Olympiad' 1st Olympiad Ace Bird Nitra Cat A 2013, 1st Provincial Ace Bird Middle Distance KDBD 2012. 3rd National Ace Bird Middle Distance KBDB 2012. She is also Half Sister to 'Linda' 27 x 1st, 6th National Ace Bird Middle Distance KBDB 2015. Olympiad Pigeon Brussels 2017 Cat A.

Rasbull Nefertiti bred our 2nd Welsh, 32nd Open in the Derby Arona 1st Hotspot last year against 1,579 birds so again a very promising start to her breeding career here at Rasbull Lofts.

This is great news and shows that the money we have invested is already starting to produce outstanding results in a very strong Federation. We began this specialist breeding loft in 2016 with the intention of breeding pigeons capable of performances like this but even we are surprised at how quickly success has been achieved.

Quote from Tony and Lee Painter:

I’ve been going back through my records and I can’t see any occasion where we’ve offered a YB for sale like this.
So confident are we of the bloodlines that this pigeon possesses that we’ll make the buyer a cast iron offer in writing right here right now. When you receive this YB if at any point in the 28 days after he’s at your loft if he fails to please you then you can return him to us and you can personally select ANY OTHER YOUNGSTER that’s in our YB aviary of YOUR CHOICE irrespective of how it is bred!
