No stopping the Semtex line!

Huge congratulations to our test loft of Mr and Mrs Winder who clocked a daughter of Rasbull Semtex, our No.1 stock cock to finish 1st Club, 1st Federation, 3,239 birds, 88 miles as part of our test loft programme!

Wow...Semtex has now bred a 1st Federation winner, his son Rasbull 27 has bred a 4 x 1st Club winners including 1st Federation and 34th, 45th and 47th National and his daughter Rasbull 01 has bred 3 x 1st Club winners including 3rd, 6th, 7th, 10th Federation including 4th and 20th National! Our whole loft is based around Rasbull Semtex and he is rewarding our faith and belief in him as his genes continue to breed winner after winner. What a line of pigeons this is throwing out year after year!

This has been a fantastic season so far for Rasbull pigeons racing for our test loft Mr and Mrs Winder. In 5 races so far our test loft birds have achieved the following results:-

3 x 1st, 2 x 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 3 x 6th Club
1st, 12th and 15th Federation

All these results have been achieved by Mr and Mrs Winder and they have been outstanding and continue to give our birds the best possible conditions to fulfill their potential.

Just to remind everyone all our birds have only ever been gifted to our test lofts and non have been sold privately over the past 3 years apart from 2 that went to Wayne Thomas. As announced previously we are now in a position where we will be holding an online auction featuring young birds from all 12 of our stock birds housed at Rasbull Lofts.

The auction will take place on the Rasbull Loft Facebook page and will start on Saturday 8th June 2019 at 6pm and will finish on Sunday 16th June 2019 at 9pm. Pedigrees for our pairings are currently on our Facebook page.

Anyone who has any questions about our forth coming auction please don't hesitate to contact us.

Another top performance by our test loft!

Our birds continue to do well this season for our test loft of Mr and Mrs Winder. Following the three first places in the first three races with Rasbull pigeons, they again had an excellent race with Rasbull pigeons finishing 3rd, 5th and 6th Club, 135 miles against 211 birds.

It has been a tremendous start to the season and after just four races Alan and Lorna have recorded the following positions with our pigeons:-

3 x 1st, 2 x 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 3 x 6th including 12th and 15th Federation.

We are very pleased with how the birds are coming and considering Alan and Lorna have 13 in their race team they are performing very well in a club sending over 200 birds to each of the races so far.

Congratulations once again Mr and Mrs Winder!

Today's 3rd Club is the same pigeon who was 2nd Club last week. The Sire is Rasbull 27. He is a son of Rasbull Semtex and is also full sister to Rasbull 01, our No.1 stock hen.

The Dam of the 2nd Club is Rasbull Kulpa 699 who is bred by S&P Kulpa. This pigeon is also fast becoming a top stock hen. She is a full Sister to 5 x 1st Federation winners and also bred 1st Federation for Mr and Mrs A.Winder.

Demands and expectations are so high here at Rasbull Lofts that the Dam of the 5th Club and both parents of the pigeon who finished 6th Club have already been moved on having been deemed not good enough for our stock loft! All our stock birds are expected to produce from the start and any that haven't met that standard are removed promptly. Sometimes they are removed a little too quickly!

We are now looking forward to the National races where hopefully our pigeons can continue to perform for our test lofts. We wish our test lofts all the best for the coming races!

Breeding for our test lofts is coming to an end now with just 2 birds left which will go next weekend. 

Our birds have gone to the following test lofts for the coming young bird season:-

7 - Mr and Mrs Carey and Tipper 

9 - N.Bright & Son

19 - Mr and Mrs A.Winder

We also have 4 birds we entered in the Penywaun Breeder Buyer also going this week to the loft of Wayne Thomas. 

(The 4 youngsters going to Wayne Thomas for the Penywaun Breeder Buyer)

This will then allow us to focus on the round currently hatching out who will be sold in our first ever auction of Rasbull Loft pigeons. This auction will start on the 8th June 2019 and will end 15th June 2019 and will feature a full round from every bird in our loft.

We will announce more details of the auction in the coming weeks but if anyone has any questions please don't hesitate to get in touch.
