Welcome to OkwembaRJ Loft! Established in 2023, our loft has quickly developed a reputation for strong competition and high-performance racing at both the club and combine levels. Our Combine has 100 mile front from south to north and 57 mile depth which makes it very challenging to be on the top of the race sheet consistently as the birds have to break early and fly straight home. Our Combine during futurity races hosts 35-45 lofts View most recent Futurity results View Here
Some of the common OLR names that have been members of Phoenixville Pigeon Club which is part of Suburban Combine include Kolvenbag, Pleasant Task Farm , Brian Maeir. In their Pedigree's you will notice birds with Bands PHX, WC, or WCF.
