Good Evening Breeders,
Wanted to end the night with a race summary. Weather at the release weather was beautiful. There was signs of light fog from a couple miles into clear lake for maybe 10 miles. Temperatures did get hotter as the day progressed with a strong SSE winds. The birds did very well, with a team of 7 first to arrive. It was a much harder race than expected but a good working race. We are very happy to end the night with 298 out of 316 birds that have completed our second race. We're hoping to see a few more birds arrive within the next hour before it gets completely dark. A big congratulations to the six-bird drop!

Before diving into our training and activation plans, I want to express my gratitude to our sponsors and all the breeders who have sent birds for our first year. None of this would have been possible without your support. We are committed to being transparent and running a great race.
With this in mind, if the weather stays consistent this week, our schedule will be as follows: training on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. We'll then crate and ship on Saturday, and hold our activation race on Sunday. Please keep in mind that the activation race is part of our four-race average speed series.
An activation fee of $300.00 per bird will be due after the completion of the Activation race. We ask that this fee be paid within 7 days to ensure the series progresses smoothly.
Everyone is welcome to join us for shipping night and attend our first activation race. If you're planning to come, please message me so I can arrange accommodations. We also plan to livestream all shipping nights and races. Reminder for basic rules: stay on the deck, no one is allowed in or around the loft. When birds arrive, keep talking to a minimum, no yelling , or whistling.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to me.
Greetings Breeders, We are planning to hold the activation race on August 30-31, depending on the progress of the training. The weather might also play a role as we head into the fall season here in Minnesota. If we aren't ready by those dates, we will aim for the following weekend, September 7-8. The final decision will be based on how prepared the birds are, so the exact dates will depend on their training progress. I will be sure to notify all breeders the final decision in advance.
Thank you.
