Super season 2021 for Skovbo/Mikkelsen – updated!

Season 2023.

Almost a perfect season for the LSM-Breeding.
“Good things come in threes” For Mark Skovbo the season 2023 was another good one, and for the third year in a row he won the middle-distance championship section, and yearling championship section.
It wasn’t in the cards, before the season, the only goal was to get the new hen system to work (jealousy race two hens to a stay-at-home cock) but a few weeks in the season, the hens showed amazing form.
And at the end of the season. Everything fell into place. The season began with 26 hens, and a few cocks raced to a perched, but it was the hens there did the job, and from the 26 starting hens, 8 became top 10 ace pigeons Ddb.

In another loft, at Lasse Rasmussen, good friend of Folmer, Mark & Michael, fairytales happened, Lasse have race birds from the breeding loft for three years, and he also tried the system with two hens to one cock. He only raced 14 hens. But results were out of this world.
The 1 National ace 2023 013-22-4039 g-daughter Bulck 1 was raced from this loft.
And also the Queen of Darkness winning 6×1, and 1 ace sprint 2023. And contender for 1 Olympic bird Denmark 2023, also raced from this loft. All in all 15×1 no doubles was raced to this small loft in 2023.

Lasse became 7 National champion MD 2023, with a team of 14 hens and 6 cocks, Mark became 9 Nat. champion with his team of 26 hens and 9 cocks. Last three years 1,6,9 Nat champion MD.

For 2024 season, the team will have more birds on the wings, as the third part Michael Th. Larsen has a super yearling team ready, this year he only raced two birds from the LSM, 013-21-2167 became 1 Prov. Winner and was crowned 1 ace md. Ddb section 2023. The other bird there was raced was 013-22-4094, he won a first section early in the season from 335 birds, he also won 6/191 7/175 2/118 12/935 13/844 but then taken by a bird of prey from home, two weeks before the season ended.

Ace pigeon titles is all related directly to the LSM breeding loft, and in other lofts there have also been several titles, I the next generation.

Season 2022:

In 2022 Skovbo/Mikkelsen became LSM Breeding.

There is a saying: “it’s hard to get to the top, but even harder to stay there”.
After the national MD championship in 2021, and the first national ace all-round, it would be practically impossible.
But the duo (now is a trio after Michael Th. Larsen joint forces with Skovbo/Mikkelsen) had again an amazing season.

Folmer Mikkelsen didn’t race this year and will probably not race the coming years, due to a busy schedule, but he did breed a round of young birds for a fellow fancier Lasse Rasmussen, there came in fourth place for the national yb championship in 2022.

Mark Skovbo who in 2021, won the MD championship section 61 and yearling championship 61. And with a coeff. There made him National MD champion. And again, this year Mark (who is our in-house photographer) won the same two championships, this year with a coeff. There was good enough for a 6 place for the National MD championship 2022, this with a team of 20 cocks and 20 hens in total widowhood.

The last man of this trio Is Michael Th. Larsen, he is the vice-president of the Danish Association D.d.b and a writer of the magazine “Brevduen” in Denmark.
In 2021 he wrote an article about Mark Skovbo after his MD championship, and he fell in love with the quality of the loft, some month later, Michael got the possibility to buy 1/3 of the breeding loft, and it was a “no brainer” for him.

2022 became a wonder season for Michael, winning the MD championship section and both nominated and unnominated longdistance championship in section 2022.
Along with 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 10 acepigeon all-round D.d.b section 32 2022, first ace is a descendant of the Base couple Rode Bulck x Bulck 1
And the 8. acepigeon is from Mark Skovbo and Folmer Mikkelsen, a pigeon Michael bought as a bon in 2021.
In the loft of Mark Skovbo, the season was harder then in 2021, it didn’t run as smooth as the year before, but in the end, it was a great season. With several winners, and as mentioned both championships as the year before, but the coeff. a bit higher.

Also last year they purchased more pigeons from these lines to make their breeding loft as good as possible.
And this season showed that they did something correct!
