Below you will find photos and descriptions of our M&D Evans Vandenabeele and Macaloney pairings for 2023. Many of our pairings are switched up every year to truly get a good test of each bird. I do not have every pair listed below as I am breeding from children of these pairs as well.
The birds listed below are what I consider our best birds although we do breed from about 15 total pairs. I am increasing my stable of the brilliant performance pigeons from Macaloney in Scotland. They have had an immediate winning impact in my loft. We have children of Double Vision, Blue Caviar, Troy, Black Caviar, Denman, Vision 772, Shergar, the Supermac line and Janefield Amal line. Please contact me if you are interesting in those crosses or any of them bred straight.
Scroll to the bottom of the page for details on purchasing from these pairs.
Most of these pairs will produce racing pigeons that carry the LDHA, DRD4 (dopamine receptor), and CRY-1 genes which have proven to have an influence on the performance of racing pigeons. Prices will reflect the performance of the pigeon plus the rarity of the gene combinations. More genes and more performance will be reflected in the cost of the pigeons.
Pair 1: Stirling Kastle x Janefield 210
Toughness and consistency as young birds. Hands down, one of my most cocks with a high strike rate. This is a new pairing for 2023.
Sire: Stirling Kastle 17 SU 2125. He is a son of two of Macaloney pigeon’s best, Troy and Black Caviar. Stirling is fast becoming, if not already, the Number One breeding cock in our loft. Just look at these results from 2021 alone. His children are breeding exceptionally well also.

Pair 3: Demolition 64 x Daughter Shergar
Demo 64 is one of my new imports from Macaloney Pigeons of Scotland. His children should excel at headwinds and 100-400 miles. I imported more of these birds because of their reliability, toughness and strike rate in my loft. Demo 64 has the SuperMac line on the top of his pedigree with the Sefaan Lambrecht blood on the bottom side.
In his first year, he did not disappoint. The highlight is when his baby Kastle Embo finished in the money at 27th place in the final 416m race at the Sooner Challenge only 30 minutes behind.
Demo 64 will be mated to Daughter Shergar, another outstanding Macaloney import who proved her salt in her first year breeding n 2022.
Dam: Daughter Shergar: Granddaughter of the New Dream Pair and Daughter of super Gaby breeder Shergar, sire of generations of winners. Bred for 350-400 miles and headwinds, she is mostly Vandenabeele with Leo Hermans and Camphius. LDHA AB

I have been waiting 2 years since purchasing a son off the new Dream Pair from Paul Macaloney, and 2023 is finally the year. You simply cannot get any better breedings than these two.
Sire: Tiger 75, a proven breeding son of the Macaloney new Dream Pair, Double Vision x Blue Cavair. I feel very fortunate to receive a proven breeder from Paul, let alone one from his best pair.
Dam: Queen of Scots, daughter of Black Caviar and Denman, two of Macaloney’s best ever racers. She was hand picked in the nest for Kastle Loft and is is physically perfect in every metric. She has bred:

Pair 5: Den-X x Bonnie Blue
Performance Macaloney
Bonnie Blue is an imported daughter of two of Paul Macaloney’s best racers and breeders, Troy and Madonna Blue. Her half brother, Stirling Kastle, is so dominant that I wanted another child of Troy. I got her late last year but managed to squeeze out a round from her to race with Shokri Enbawe in New York. One of her babies outright won his band race winning $3000. I chose to mate her in 2023 with a son of another super star racer, Denman. Bonnie Blue has proven to make babies good for 300+ miles.
Sire: Den-X. He is brand new to our loft and this will be his first full year of breeding. He is an import from Paul Macaloney and is a son of the superb racing cock Denman, which makes him a half-brother to Queen of Scots.
Dam: Bonnie Blue 2020 GB P 34460. Half-sister to Stirling Kastle. She is a daughter of Troy x Madonna Blue.

Eq1 (3rd) 100m,
Eq1 (5th) 160m.
He has bred:
4th Eq1 300 mile combine vs 179b
Eq1 160m
Eq1 230m

Pair 13: 858 x Kastle 2026
This is another cross of the Claymore and Stirling Kastle lines. Both parents have raced well and bred babies who race well out to 300-380 miles. I expect their children to do the same

Pair 14: LKY 18 x Kastle 1941
This is a very underrated pair in my loft. Don’t let their “Pair number” fool you. They have consistently produced some of my top young birds. They are both great performers from my 2019 young bird race team and are a great example of performers breeding performers. When I took the first two best performing young birds of 2019 and put them together, their babies have consistently done the same. I have no reason to break them up. They are a mix of Macaloney, Evans Gaby and Konbird/Vanloon.
Sire: 2019 LKY 18. He is a son of Claymore x Sainz 204 and was First place (tie) LRPC Champion Young Bird 2019, racing in 7 races.

As a racer, she placed:
1st Combine 200m vs 68b,
3rd @ 100 miles LRPC,

Pair 15: 1611 x Kastle Longshot
I am mixing it up a bit with this pair and giving 1611 a new performance mate. This pair will produce recessive opal and should help advance my record with those on my team.
Sire: 16 AU Kastle 1611, a recessive opal son of Einstein x Kastle Black who has a long long list of winners to his name
Dam: Kastle Longshot. AA CTCT AG/TT. Money winner, 25th place in the final 380 mile race of the High Desert Yearling Classic against 246 birds and only 37 day birds. Very tough series with more than 500 birds originally entered. She is a grand daughter of Stirling Kastle.
She has bred 1st place 100m 163b (LKY 133).
Pair 16: Titanium x Kobayashi Maru
While I am breeding from a number of recessive opals, this pair will produce blues, blacks, and recessive opals. I plan to race as many as I can, including the recessive opal spread that will come from them and hope to bring the best back into the breeding program.
Dam: Kobayashi Maru, Kastle 2047. She raced in 2020 Sooner Challenge:
47th vs 478b @150m
49th vs 383b @ 250m
38th vs 161b @ 416m
She has bred:
3rd (Eq1) 300m 179b combine
5th 230m
5th 270m
7th Place Champion Bird LRPC 2021
Grandmother to Kastle Embo, 27th place 416 miles Sooner Challenge final race 2022.
The Recessive Opals
Winning lines of Eisenhower, Jester, Carrie, Golden Gaby and more.
I have a handful of recessive opal and cherry birds (also called mosaics to the Brits and racing pigeons folks). It is a recessive color and the gene has to be present in both parents in order for the children to show the color. Our recessive opals (see more photos here) will have the blood of Shadow, Eisenhower, Jester, Carrie, Lady Spirit, 90 Cock, Golden Gaby, Joint Venture, etc. These birds are winning in my club and one placed in the money in the 2016 Dixie Convention Race. Some of the recessive opal birds we are breeding from includes A cock (Kastle 1418) and another hen (Kastle 1616) will be from Kastle Einstein x Kastle Black. The second cock is a product of Golden Gaby x Lady Bliksem and the 90 Cock x Lady Spirit. Babies from Kastle 1418 have been racing very well earning diplomas in my club and winning some money in an auction race in North Carolina.
Check for availability and specific pricing. Babies will be starting at $300. Raced young birds will be more.
Terms
We will not be raising many extra late hatches unless someone has asked us to. If you see something you are interested in, I would highly recommend talking with me about it before I split up my breeders. It is entirely likely I will have some birds to sell from my racing teams at the end of the season, but of course the prices will be higher since they will have been tested. But there will be no guarantees as to which birds I will sell from my team.
This is a racing loft, not a breeding station, and the majority of birds are being raced here at Kastle Loft and around the country in futurity and One Loft Races. If you are interesting in purchasing a baby from one of these pairings, the only way to guarantee it is to place a non-refundable deposit. I keep a close eye on the health of my breeding pairs and limit the number of babies they feed in any given year. I will not be raising extra babies from every pair just to sell.
A $100 non-refundable deposit will hold a baby for you. With a deposit, I can also put you on a waiting list in case someone backs out. By holding a bird for you, I will not make it available for purchase to anyone else while I feed, medicate and care for it. Therefore, the deposit is non-refundable. The bird(s) must be paid for in full by November 1, or I will make the bird available again for purchase. If I am not happy with the quality of the birds, I will refund your money or we can apply it to another available bird. Total balance will need to be paid before I ship any birds. I do not have space to house birds into the next breeding season. I prefer to ship the bird as soon as possible to get them acclimated in their new home. All birds will be vaccinated with PMV and KM-1.
