G.Sire; GB06T13311 “Classy Lad” – M & D. Evans.
This cock was bred by Mark and specially selected for G.W & P. Macaloney of Scotland. “Classy Lad” certainly didn’t turn out a disappointment and started producing the partnership some super winning lines. Just another great pigeon to uphold the famous M & D. Evans name.

This super breeding hen “Lady Bliksem” can hold her head up high after following in her father’s footsteps for breeding consistently year after year right through to the highest level. Her children and grandchildren are winning world-wide including Mark’s own 1st Ace Champion Old Bird & 1st Ace Champion Yearling in the Up North Combine in North America for Mark’s partnership loft of Ferreira & Evans,
