"Go to a local fancier who is winning fairly regularly and ask him to sell you three pairs of birds (late bred if possible). Breed from these and race the youngsters - half of them right through the club program, the other half stop after the second race. After the second season you should have enough birds to last you for at least 10 to 15 years before it is necessary to introduce a cross."
