🏆 EXCELSIOR PIGEON PROUDLY PRESENTS S. STOKES & SONS 🏆

A SPECIAL SELECTION OF PROVEN SPRINTING BLOODLINES FROM THE WEST MIDLANDS

Excelsior Pigeon are delighted to introduce S. STOKES & SONS to our clients. These lads fly a fantastic sprint pigeon in the highly competitive racing hotbed of the West Midlands.

They compete weekly in the Worcester Federation, occasionally sending into the Wolverhampton Federation – two highly competitive organisations where speed, quality and consistency are essential.

Not interested in fancy names or the latest fashions, S. Stokes & Sons are simply interested in one thing: pigeons that can sprint and win!

The foundation of their family is built around a blend of Stefaan Lambrechts and Heremans-Ceusters, with a few carefully introduced birds blended into the family over the years.

This is a practical, performance-driven family, built around pigeons that have repeatedly demonstrated their ability to compete at the highest level.

🏆 THE YOUNGSTERS ON OFFER

• May-bred youngsters.
• Bred from the stock shed.
• Sexes believed to be correct.

Their stock shed consists of 18 pairs, the vast majority being retired racers that have competed for the partnership themselves.

They normally take just two rounds per year from these stock birds, keeping the breeding team relatively small and selective.

🏆 THE REFERENCE PIGEONS – THE FOUNDATION OF THE FAMILY

Behind every successful breeding loft are the pigeons responsible for producing the winners. Here we take a closer look at some of the key references behind this family and the bloodlines represented in the sale.

🏆 96 HEN – THE BEST PIGEON IN THE LOFT

Without doubt, one of the most important pigeons owned by S. Stokes & Sons.

Only raced as a youngster, she competed in just six races, yet managed to win:

🥇 1st Federation – 5,328 birds

🥇 1st Federation – 3,721 birds

Her breeding record is equally impressive.

Dam and Granddam to over 80 x 1st Club winners and 18 x 1st Federation winners, both for S. Stokes & Sons and other fanciers.

A 2017 hen, and unfortunately only two youngsters were managed from her in 2026.

However, there are plenty of her grandchildren represented in this sale.

A cornerstone of the family and arguably one of the most important references in the entire draft.

🏆 11 HEN – THE DAM OF 96 HEN & 97 COCK

Another hugely important hen within the family.

She is the dam of both the 96 Hen and 97 Cock, alongside other successful performers.

Sadly passing away at just three years of age, she nevertheless left an enormous legacy within the loft.

Her influence continues through her descendants, with grandchildren represented in this sale.

Our best blood – a hen whose influence continues to be felt throughout the family.

🥇 1st Federation – 2,487 birds

And many more!

A proven sire and grandsire whose influence has been felt throughout the loft.

🏆 7th Federation – 4,153 birds

🏆 21st Federation – 2,614 birds
