Planet Brothers Auction 2022

The origin of the Planet Brothers family has been the result of a tried and tested Racing Loft. From the very beginning, Planet Brothers set their loft up to produce a pigeon that would compete at National and Combine level from 50 miles to 500 miles. Our aim was to produce an outstanding one day pigeon, that was irrespective of the conditions. In the United Kingdom we raced North Road which meant all our distance races were from Scotland, and the pigeons had to encounter some tough race points. The 300 mile race from Berwick was always one we strived to excel in. It was the race with the biggest entry and we have always said that most pigeons are capable of competing at this level. For us, this was the hardest race to win. Beyond Berwick, we had Stonehaven 382 miles, Fraserburgh and Thurso 504 miles.

There was a 600 mile Lerwick race but we never had any wish to compete in this type of race, the reasoning behind this, is that any two day race, is in our opinion, a lottery and the best bird does not always win. Once a bird has to roost up overnight so many elements come into play, the safety of the bird, how quickly it is disturbed the next day, and the possibility that the real quality pigeons perish, trying to get home on the day.For us as pigeon lovers, extreme distance racing, borders on cruelty and should not be practiced as a sport. Most of the fanciers who entertain such races, cannot win anything else and these lottery type competitions provide them with some hope of a very shallow victory.
