Hello Rod,

Just an update on a pretty successful first 3 weeks for the Alwin Petrie hen-  Maid Marion (All Alwin Petrie- Robin x Light Speed)

Week 1 we trapped a 2yo hen LM 1816 out of her to run 1^st club 1st combine and 1^st  fed from Scone 120kls ( as per previous note)

Week 2 we trapped her full sister also from Scone - also a 2 yo hen LM 17 1826 to run 2^nd  club ,2^nd  combine and 3^rd  fed ( we ran 2^nd and 3^rd fed on the day flying 2 clocks and she was only beaten in the club and combine by her loft mate by 1 sec – both landed on deck together- we ran 2^nd and 3^rd outright federation)

Week 3  from Breeza (220klms) we again got 2 together to finish 1^st club, 1^st combine and 2^nd fed  and both were out of her- 1 was LM 17 1816 (fed winner from week 1) the other was a yearling hen NCF 18 9916 who is out of Maid Marion x Heremans cock from Jack Vanderlinden

Pretty fair effort over first 3 weeks of the season and thought you would like to know how well she is going.

She has now produced 6 individual top 5 fed birds to 3 different cocks over 3 seasons

Cheers Richard and Mal

Hello Rod, just an update on our first race of the season yesterday.

We flew from Scone on the north/ west route- a distance of 130klms to our loft.

We had a great first day- flying 2 clocks this year we have kicked off by winning 1^st and 2^nd  overall in the federation with less than 16 seconds between our first 2 pigeons.

We trapped for our winning clock a blue bar hen LM 17- 1816 with a velocity of 1280.5m/min to win 1^st  club, 1^st combine and 1st federation.

The hen we trapped is directly out of the hen from your place Maid Marion ( All Alwin Petrie- Robin x Light Speed)

The sire of the winner, is a cock we raced for 2 seasons successfully and what was really pleasing for us is he is direct a son of my foundation cock – Top Shelf -Hereman / Petrie ( Leo x Sun City) who has produced 9 individual combine winners in the 4 years since we bought him from you.

This is the first federation winner down out of one of Top Shelfs sons which is fantastic as it shows he is producing winning producers now  with the first generation we have put into stock.

Only the first week but a good start

Cheers Richard and Mal Clement.
