Ya pal I agree
Up here all fed raduis are huge I'm use to it now,, it takes a different type of pigeon if honest but it's OK the 5 times a season when things suit u must have ya birds right otherwise it's a long winter,
But north or south pal go where ya heart is not what others what you to do.

What do you think of Varianix of VL / marimans only I can get VL local
Maybe with 20 per cent barley added as a guide
Do you think that’s a bit to heavy or will the barley compensate that plus use as a guide to over feeding like leave a tablespoon of barley in the tray
It’s to late for this year but I thought just try a few things out now rather than when I’m sending
I like superstar plus the best from vl mate think with bit extra maize n fat u can go to Thurso on that mix .

I spoke the truth pal n nrcc didn't like it
The marking team are great n it's good but in 2022 when they liberated the birds at Lerwick in awful weather n the birds were sitting in the road at Lerwick 3 days later I spoke the truth it took 3 days to get 36 birds home from whole convoy ,I said I never race with them again n conveyer n race controller should hang there head in shame n be sacked on the spot ,
I resigned n will never race with em again pal.
