Any of you breeders who want to bring your birds to the MPLS auction on May 7th I will be there.  It will save your shipping or driving expenses.  Also pass the word along that there will be a raffle for 2 perch fees to the OLR race.

The birds are starting to come in.  So far the birds that are here look real good and healthy.  You will be notified when I receive them.  Best of luck to all
