Her children bred in 2024 (same combines):
1 (Combine winner), 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 9, 9, 10 (×3), 11 (×3), 13, 14 (×2), 15, 18, 19 (×2), 21, 24, 26, 31, 32, 41, 43, 44, 49, 53, 56, 59, 61, 62, 69, 70, 71, 73, 76, 83, 87 (×2), 90, 91, 94 (×2), 96 (×2), 99, 103, 104, 105, 108, 112, 113, 115, 118, 121, 132, 139, 140 (×2), 149, 154, 163, 165 (×2), 174, 179, 196, 197, 199, 201
First year her children and grandchildren raced (2023 GHC):
3rd, 5th, 12th, 79th vs 1,443 pigeons
30th & 84th vs 1,312 pigeons
31st vs 1,260 pigeons
Plus 28 additional top-placing results vs 1,000+ birds across multiple distances
I’m downsizing, and that’s the only reason this cock is available. If you’re serious about building around a proven producing family, he brings the fire. His dam is already producing Combine winners and AU-level performers. His bloodline is stacked — Rudy, Super Romeo, Son Super 781, Inteelt Romeo, and Bliksem. This is the kind of foundation you don’t often see offered.
