- Update on what is in store for the Little Loft on the Hill in 2024. Hope everyone is doing well.
Breeders sending me 1 bird for my 2024 YB Team can add a 2nd bird in the box for Larry's YB Team. We train and race together.
We will be sending birds to a futurity race in SoCal

Looking forward to sending 2 birds and excited to see how they'll race for you and Larry!
Awesome, looking forward to it 👍
Thomas let Larry know I will send him bird also. I believe I remember the type of bird he used to like. Gonna be fun
Will do, thanks Lee!
Great looking babies Tom. I think this is the greatest time of the year! It’s like Christmas morning every time new babies hatch. Please let Larry know I’ll have an extra bird in my box for him to compete with. #GoodluckLarry Thanks
Thanks!
That’s great new, I will send 1 to Larry also.
Thanks! This will be fun.
Great news to hear Larry is racing. I have an extra one waiting in the wings willing to follow through on Larry's guarantee.
Sounds great!
Youngsters look great, Tom!!
Thanks doc! 👍
Awesome Tom! You know how much I love watching sqwabs! 👏👏🥳🥳
Me too! Thanks for watching! 🕊️👍😎
Genetic Potential would love to send some birds over to you and Larry!
Sounds great, I will reach out with details. 👍
Babies looking good Tom
I'll like to join the OCC futurity race also. Any suggestions on which handler to send to? TIA
Redemption Loft here in the comments is in that club. He does not think he will get many birds because he had a horrible YB season last year. The thing a like about this futurity is you pick the handler, no rotation. OCC does report results on the AU website, you can see how guys did in past years. It is no guarantee but it gives you a good indication. pigeon-ndb.com/races/
You could ask redemption whose loft he would want birds in. Maybe he just had an off year and he would be good. I reached out to a couple guys and committed already. I am sending four. Two to each handler.
@littleloftonthehill thank you for the great information sir
Youngsters looking good!. Sad to hear you aren't sending the two youngsters to the Martinez, was looking forward to it.. Although you did mention something about a sponsor thingy though.. Those futurity races with multiple handlers and lofts only work on testing the birds and depends solely on the handler that takes your birds.. You could have great birds and you won't know it if you have a crappy handler who doesn't train right and give the birds what they need to perform at their best.. At least at a OLR, the playing field is evened out because all of the birds get the same feed, training and care. Everything is equal which allows the best birds to show their stuff and what they are actually made of on race day... Never have liked those multiple loft futurities.. Too many variants in the race, regarding distances, handlers, care, training etc.. JMHO.
I 100% agree with everything you said. I am sponsoring four birds. If they are there after the activation, that is $1,800. This 100% has to do with $$$. I prefer a one-loft race. $1,800 on proven breeders, I am willing to spend. Adding another $900 for unproven birds is outside my budget. $50 a bird versus $450. I picked the OCC Futurity for a couple of reasons other than money. You pick the handler, and past race results are on the AU database, so you can see how the handler has done in previous years. They also fly a challenging east course similar to mine.
Either way, we need to meet either at Martinez or at my place. We could do a pigeon show, and you come to be the judge, make it a BBQ, and invite other viewers.
Question: Do you think a good bird is a good bird? Are there birds that do well in one-loft races and birds that do well in club/combine races? The idea of horses for courses, some are suited for one or the other. The birds I raced were mated, flying to a nest box, hand-fed and pampered. That might better suit a type different from a bird that would excel in a one-loft situation. Just a thought.
@@littleloftonthehill .. I'll agree that a good bird is a good bird, however, birds that do well in club/combine races may or may not do well in an OLR. There's a lot of variables that come into play with an OLR. Those being the location, weather, the course layout, the care and training by the OLR manager etc etc. You can give your own birds much more attention that is needed for them to do well in a club/combine scenario as opposed to an OLR in my opinion, but either way, the birds must be good to start with or all the care and training in the world isn't gonna make them a good flyer. Also, birds that fly well in the flatlands of the Midwest, Texas, Florida and the south with the fast YPM's might do well there, but might not do so well on the tough, mountainous race courses of the west and pacific northwest with the slower YPM's.. As well, the tough birds of the west may not do well at all in the flatlands where speed is usually the norm, however, toss a 8 - 10 mph headwind or crosswind condition into the mix or when the distance starts to increase and those western birds will fly right on by the speed demons. Certain families of birds excel in certain parts of the country and some are good all around birds, given the right flying conditions.
How interesting
❤️
I’m slipping a extra bird in the box for Larry
Got it! Thanks👍
I’m sending two
Thanks Dennis!
I'm out here in orange county
I'm handling but I don't think I'ma get handlers ..I had a horrible young bird season
Shoot! I already committed to two guys. I think the first two on the list. Maybe if it all goes well and there is time I will send the 3rd , I am torn though and might send them to Martinez 🤔Hope you have a great year 💪
