1 Week Left To Get In! $1,200,000 in GUARANTEED PRIZES
We currently have over 4000 birds here at the loft. We would like to Thank Everyone who has chosen to participate in the Hoosier Classic Race again this year.
The health of the birds is very good and holding well. All birds have received 2 vaccines, 1 for PMV and 1 for PMV/Rota, as well as a Pox Vaccine. Currently the birds are being fed Beyers molting mix and given several tuples of minerals including their favorite, "Jovati Mineral Grit." Three days a week birds are given "Bio-Pro" probiotics on their feed. We have noticed giving probiotics in the water the birds tend to not drink as much during warmer weather. We are very pleased with the results of the "Bio-Pro" since adding it to our feeding program.
Birds continue to go out daily. After a new group is out of the loft three times they are then merged with the older groups of birds.
We continue to do daily inventories for fanciers to monitor any replacements that may be needed. Next week, May 13th -17th will be the last week to send in new entries as well as replacements. Please continue to check the inventories to get those replacements in if needed. Remember perch fees are non refundable and credits are not given for perch fees either, so take advantage of sending replacements.
We received some updated pictures of the new trailer this morning and it is looking good. The doors for the levels themselves, as well as the cleaning doors have been added. It is coming together nicely and should be a lot less stress on the birds for loading and training.
Finally, we would like to extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Randy Walz, Zephyr Loft. Randy passed away this past weekend. He was a true gentleman and always a pleasure to talk to. Randy won the Hoosier Classic in 2021 having 1 of 6 birds on the drop that year. He will be greatly missed. Please keep his family and friends in your prayers as they embark on life without Randy.
