Good morning breeders, I did not think I would be posting any messages on this forum again, but you know the old saying” Never say never”.
I spent last year out in Nevada with the intent of purchasing a bird abatement business using hawks and falcons and some shooting with high tech air rifles. I was the field supervisor for the year and got to experience some great things working at all the high-profile casinos on the Las Vegas strip. However, in the end we have a be a beautiful farm in Georgia and the 118-degree weather with a 25mph wind was like living in a furnace.
I was contacted last year by the Secretary of the Dixie Southern Racing Pigeon Association asking if I would be interested in hosting the Dixie race and I told him where I was. Well forward a year the Dixie Racing Pigeon association contacted me again and asked if I would host the race with it being their 40th year anniversary next year. I agreed so we will run the Southern Belle starting next year, perch fees are $50 per bird and the entry after the 100-mile activation is $300 per bird. The Dixie race will be a race within our final and the entry fee for the Dixie is $60 per bird with the Dixie keeping 10% and paying out 90% of the fees collected. The $60 is an optional fee and is due after the 100-mile activation also. The Southern Belle is not keeping any proceeds from the Dixie. The Dixie is a great organization that has done much for the pigeon sport over the years and I am happy to be hosting it for them.
Breeders I cannot make any promises about the races, this is a tough race course. The only promise I can make and those that have flown with us in past know it is an honest race and I give 110% to you and your birds. I have redesigned the baskets that will transport the birds on races and training that I think will help keep the birds from getting as hot with our humid conditions especially during the early parts for training when it can still be hot and humid.
All the race information can be found under the info tab on our homepage. We would appreciate your support in 2025.
