Yep, that is a great pedigree. That's got to be a huge asset in any loft.

I've got one bred on similar lines in my back yard in St Arnaud. And yes, she is an anchor of the loft.
Or she would be, except all her youngsters seem to end up elsewhere.
She's still young, so for the next couple of years she is a key part of the new plan.
I want daughters to go in the stock shed.
Daughters, that's where the future is

Very true Murray, she is a cracker. The future looks bright for her.

If she's a G.Daughter of both "Kittel" and "New Kittel" then that's a well bred pigeon
The 2 famous brothers of "Kittel" ("Greipel" and "New Kittel") are both superstar breeders
They just get over-shadowed by the powerhouse that is "Kittel"

I got a phone call today. There's a late bred cock closely related to the Billion Baby, the Zillion Baby, the Diamond Blaze etc.
It's been scalped so they can't sell it on the market, but it's fine.
I've said we will take it, if Devo agrees.
More of that bloodline in our shed

Thank you Silvercock, the project Murray and myself are working on. Gives us a firm foundation of a future great partnership. at present Murray is extending the shed. This will give us 9 breeding boxs, and will enable us to breed youngsters for OLR , and youngsters going to money ring races like our breeder buyer races. Murray already has very good contacts over in Austraila, and we have been very lucky to pick up some really nice birds.
Some of the new birds will join others with simular breeding lines. Our future is Quality at its best.
