We wanted to stop racing after race 10 due to serious moulting problems with our latebred team.

The partnership decided to take the season in baby steps week by week, and we were fortunate to always have a few good ones to do well every week.

The last two races we won the Union in a row with 2 different sisters bred from our NR 1 BREEDING PAIR, "GOLDEN CARELLY X DAUGHTER R80 000 PAIR"

Our team deserves a rest, and we made the decision to not chase the ALL BIRD POINTS that we are leading as well, and call it a day. The pigeons have nothing else to prove to us.

"GOLDEN CARELLY, THE R80 000 COCK,  and 37," we salute you. They are 3 great stock cocks and their progeny have helped us do very well this season.

"GOLDEN CARELLY" is from the DE RAUW SABLON BAK 17/970 LINES, and 37 is bred from ACE PIGEON RIVER LOFT when mated to HERMIEN, daughter to the R80 000 cock.
