These are just the absolute elite top tier birds bred from 'Missil' the Father of 'SR 337'.......he has been an elite breeder for Steve.
'SR 337' is one of my favorite pigeons from all the pigeons I have handled at Sierra Ranch so far. She has all the qualities I like along with very nice rich red pearl eyes. She is medium to just above medium in size and longer cast with longer wings, tight vents, mostly strong back. nice wing vibration, sper soft feather, and good muscle quality. She has tremendous character and really does not like to be held. See Youtube Video for Handling Notes.
She is for sale as part of the late Steve Sterchi (Sierra Ranch's) Estate Sale for some of his top breeders. My friend Steve passed away last fall and I (Matt Hans) am listing some of the top birds here on Ipigeon for his wife Kim. Proceeds from auction go to Steve's wife Kim.
