25-Z11339 BLUE COCK The loft's No. 1 hen "Golden Jade" crossed with a full brother to £15,000 NEHU champion "Red Sonia" — and already breeding winners

A 2025 blue cock from the loft's two best-documented lines: by "Brazilian Babe", full brother to "Red Sonia" (best NEHU 2022, sold £15,000), out of "Golden Jade", Howard Jackson's No. 1 hen, whose youngsters won £1,400 in breeder/buyer races in 2026 alone.

Howard Jackson calls him the most prolific breeder for me — a really special cock with top bloodlines.

The Sire — 24-A89260 "Brazilian Babe" Full brother to "Red Sonia" · Vaze Brasil × Blue Princess Brazilian Babe's value sits sideways. He is a full brother to "Red Sonia", who won 9 × 1st Club and 6 × 1st Federation and was best in the NEHU in 2022; the card records that she sold for £15,000. He was bought from Jimmy Bamblin. His sire, "Vaze Brasil", is described on the card as a super breeder, and is out of a nest sister to "Kittel" (BELG-136139804) — the card describes Kittel as the National Ace with the lowest coefficient ever in Belgian sprint racing. His dam, "Blue Princess" (17-E26115), is also described as a super breeder; she is by "Musketeer" (BELG-086349871) out of "Matriarch" (BELG-09-6293976).

The Dam — 23-V72081 "Golden Jade" The No. 1 hen at Willow Lofts · Blue Spider × Erin Howard Jackson calls her the dam of my loft and the best I've ever owned in 74 years racing. The cards record that in 2026 alone her youngsters won £1,400 in breeder/buyer races (when paired to a cock of Steve Price's), that she has bred 2nd in the GYA against 1,200 birds, and that of the four she bred in 2025, three won. She cost £1,500 when bought as a late bred. Her sire "Blue Spider" (BELG-19-3007763) is one of Syndicate Lofts' top breeders, a son of "Spidey" (NL-111742484) and "Tina" (BELG-12-3142137, Luc & Hilda Sioen), who was 23rd National La Souterraine against 11,236 birds. Her dam "Erin" (22-V51687) is The Lawman × Stardust, and Stardust is a daughter of HeremansCeusters' "Di Caprio".

Super proven cock here !!

Foot note from Howard himself

In 2024 I was told I had stage 4 prostrate cancer which had gone to my bones, so I sold nearly all my race bird’s including stock. My last sale was due for Dec 2024 with 20 late breds and 4 stock birds. On my visit too Hull Hospital in Nov 2024 to see my consultant Doctor Patu, he informed me that he though my treatment was working because my P.S.I. was dropping from 940, and it is now undetectable, so I decided too give it another try racing, racing only 5 race bird in 2025 old birds on rubbers. They won or were first 4 in every old bird race, ending with 2nd GYA, 1200 odd bird’s.

I was invited to join a very strong club for young birds, and they flew really well winning a few races, in many arriving in bunches.

In 2026 old bird I was 2nd Fed ECT despite me going on a cruise for 2 wks. In young bird season: first Grantham 88ml 1st 2nd 3rd 4th, 1st Ebor Fed; Grantham (2) 1st club 1st Fed; Huntingdon 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th, first 4 in Fed; and in last race of season 1st club 1st Fed, Decoy Lakes.

Winning 3rd breeder buyer in GYA £400,
In the club 1st and 2nd breeder buyer and £1,000.

So thats all bragging done, now onto birds.

Mostly ‘William De Bruije’ from syndicate loft, with a few Luc Vavort’s, all very nr the tree: Lawman, Blue Spider, Erin, Little China Girl, All the Aces, Yurri, Murphys Diamond, Red Rum, Sweet Caroline, Maggy Murphy, and many more. I still have ‘Golden Jade’ – her young this yr alone have won me £1400 in B and B. These will be my last ever sales as I am 86 now.
