See below for a fantastic racing performance from Neil Andrews on Sunday just gone

Neil sent 42 Natural YB (Non-Darkness) to his 83 miles race

He had 21 of them inside a minute (racing into a headwind)

Even more impressive is that the 21st pigeon's velocity is still better than the next best member!

Unfortunately its 3 prizes per loft in the Fed so he's 1-2-3 instead of 1-21

Well done Neil on your hard work and being prepared to try new things in the run up to this race

Paid dividends big time!! ;)

Don't put yourself down Neil - that team performance is absolutely outstanding and one to be treasured

Now, with a strong headwind looming on Saturday, how good can you be this week?

The moult is a little more advanced, the distance is probably further, the wind is stronger

How good can you be?

Me, I'd be feeding the same this week ;)

Yep will go with your idea on the amount
Just tweak it a bit strength wise

I got home from work 7 in the end last night due to delayed freight from Holland so nothing out or trained but I took the opportunity to nazeline them as I know you said they don’t need it each week but it stuck in my head what you mentioned about the product and wind so went straight to the loft and fed them gave it 40min and done them all
One section on respo today for 2 days as a trial against the others not being on it
