This is the entire clearance sale for the late Alan Astin of Carnforth, Lancs, who passed away after a long illness. Due to illness the results were not reflected in the quality of these top-drawer pigeons. Alan purchased some really good pigeons from Belgium and was a top fancier when it came to the shorter races but then moved on to the longer races which was why he purchased many of these pigeons.  All the birds for auction have either scored or bred birds to score well in section and open in National Racing with the NFC/MNFC the buyers will get tried and tested birds at top level competition. Towards the end of the sale there will be no pedigree’s because we cannot trace the parent’s, but they are bred at these lofts and bred right.  We cannot guarantee anything with these pigeons other than Alan purchased top quality pigeons. Nathan is not 100% with the sex of his late father’s pigeons but believes they are correct.
