Sierra Ranch (Steve Sterchi) Estate Sale
Breeder Sale of the late Steve Sterchi (Sierra Ranch)
item #: 118769
Description

Over the next few weeks I (Matt Hans) will be posting some of the breeders for my friend the late Steve Sterchi of Sierra Ranch.  Steve passed away this past October 2024.  Proceeds from the sale of these pigeons will go to his wife Kim Sterchi.
 
Many people around the country are familiar with Sierra Ranch (Steve Sterchi) as a result of his tremendous performances in numerous One Loft races over the years.  He has bred countless money winners in the Blue Bucket Stampede, Crooked River Challenge, California Classic, California State Race, Gold Country Challenge, Plymouth Peak Pro Challenge, Shasta Classic, Terra Sky OLR, Martinez Classic, San Diego Holiday Cup, South African Race, etc.
 
Steve was also consistently one of the absolute best lofts in all of California for 30+ years winning every award there was to win at the combine level in the Camellia City Combine along with likely well over 100 Combine wins.
 
Some may also be familiar with Steve from his Sierra Ranch Classic One Loft Race which he hosted from the late 2000's thru 2015.  This was a very popular race and at the time one of the larger OLR's in America.
 
Finally Steve was a friend and I will miss talking to him during both the race season and the off-season about pigeons.  I have been friends with him since 1998 when I was a teenager and new to the sport.  I quickly discovered that despite usually being the top loft and 'guy to beat' in the combine, Steve was incredibly humble and the nicest most gracious fancier I knew in the combine.  I believe most that have met Steve would agree, humble and kind were the best words to sum up Steve Sterchi as both a person but even as a competitve pigeon flyer.
 
The pigeons being sold over these first couple of weeks are primarily pigeons that Steve had purchased in the past three years.  A few of them just this past year and as such not yet been bred from. 
 
A few of the ADL pigeons purchased just three years ago have already bred some outstanding results and money winners in One Loft Races.  Note there are some late hatch Children from 2022/2023 from some of these ADL birds that may be available as well.  Steve had greatly downsized the amount of birds over the past few years due to his health but there are still well over 60 that will be sold both here on Ipigeon and locally.
