Hope all had an enjoyable Labor Day -
All good - we are in the process of doing electronic inventory this week - This is the first year we are using Benzing for the OLR so having some beginner's hiccups with the uploads. We have used Benzing in our local loft - just never Wincom uploads.
Stay tuned
Regards Steve
2 more weeks of accepting birds -
All is well ~! Send those late hatches.
BIrds are doing well and adjusted to the heat - no issues so far. We have been using all natural and especially oregano supplements all Summer.
3 more weeks for accepting birds - send those late hatches.
Best regards
We have extended to Friday AUGUST 30th to accept birds as there are birds scheduled to come in later this month with several breeders committed.
The birds that have arrived this week are in the quarantine loft and will be registered this weekend.
All good - birds are looking great.
Temps have rolled back from the brutal highs - got in birds this week with NO issues with Post Office or heat stress.
Please feel free to send backups.
OK to ship this upcoming week - accepting birds until August 15th.
Have a safe and enjoyable July 4th weekend -
All good - incoming birds this week and last week came in very good condition and have adapted well.
Send those late hatches - accepting birds until August 15th.
All good at Arizona Classic Derby -
Accepting birds through August 15th. Send those last rounds to fly our Arizona-California desert course. The youngbirds that acclimatize in this heat are perfect for this course. We pick the birds up at the US postal distribution center so they do not have to go out on the truck for delivery.
Our last round is in the nest to fly our local Arizona Federation races - these have historically been our best performers on this course as they adjust to the heat better.
Remember all birds belong to breeders, optionally you can leave birds to fly in our Arizona Federation Old Birds to 540 miles and have them back after as well.
Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there. Trust it is a blessed day with family.
Arizona CLassic is open for acceptance through August 15 - a challenging series across the Arizona-California desert where the majority of birds will make the final December race due to our training and the nature of the West racecourse. This sets them up perfectly for a tough final usually. Send your best and a few extras as you wish for replacements. We have unparalleled race results on this race course and are actively flying in the Arizona Federation where we continue to win more than our fair share.
Best of Luck
Most of the bigger OLRs have closed or are at the end of their acceptance period.
Arizona Classic Derby is open for acceptance through June, July and August15th. This is when we get the bulk of birds after the big OLRs are full. Send those last round of youngsters to fly the Arizona-California desert. Your birds are thoroughly prepared and trained on the faster early training races setting them up perfectly for a tough final race. We have been flying this course for at least 15 years.
It is hot here but we pick the birds up at the Distribution Center so birds are not sitting around waiting to be delivered.
All the best for those 2024 youngsters ~!
