Results from our 2022 young bird season

Kastle Loft racing pigeons flying in the yard on July 9, 2021 in Lexington, Ky.

I am very pleased with how our young bird performed in 2022 again, especially at the club level. And once again, the star breeders were Claymore, Queen of Scots, Stirling Kastle and their progeny.

Flying in the Lexington Racing Pigeon Club, Kastle Loft earned:

  • 3 AU Ace Pigeon Young Birds 
  • 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8th champion birds
  • 1st -9th 230m
  • 1st -7th 300m
  • 1st Avg Speed
  • 1st Champion Loft
  • 1st Master Loft

In the futurities and other lofts we sent birds to:

  • 15th 350m 429b AU Convention Race out of a grandson of Claymore and grandson of Stirling Kastle. (Kastle 2212)
  • 1st 100m 163b (LKY 133)
  • 2nd 350m 126b (LKY 200)
  • 4th Champion Bird (Cov club – LKY 200)

In one loft races, we had a number of pigeons finish series’, but the biggest wins came at the Sooner Challenge and on the toughest of days:

  • Eq1 3rd 200m 306b Sooner Challenge OLR (2224)
  • Eq1 5th 150m 321b Sooner Challenge OLR (2272)
  • 27th 416m 113b Sooner Challenge final race (2266)

I broke out many of the individual wins and listed them according to which cock they were down from:
