BREEDING SEASON IS IN FULL SWING!

Hello friends,

Mike & Nora here at the Longhorn Classic hope your breeders and youngsters are thriving. Even breeders in the cold parts of the country started pairing up around Valentine's Day, so breeding is in full swing. Time is flying - we will start accepting birds in just 5 weeks on April 1st.

Please consider building on your loft's success by joining our distinctive one loft race. With only 256 spots left, now is the time to sign-up before it's too late. Our 2023 record speaks for itself, offering the country's best OLR stats for returns from the races. Don't wait, secure your spot today and let your birds soar to victory in 2024.

 

Have a great weekend!

Mike & Nora

Hello Breeders,

 

The Longhorn is only accepting 1,200 birds in 2024.

We're already at almost 800 reservations - so 2/3s full!

Thanks to all who have reserved perches!

 

The 2023 trophies were mailed on Monday.

We hope the winners enjoy proudly displaying these in their lofts.

 

Several breeders in Northern areas have told us the extreme cold is affecting their breeding. Wishing them warmer weather soon! We're accepting birds until June 11, so plenty of time, even for those getting a late start.

 

We had a chance to get away, so spent last week in Orlando. Nice to get a little R & R, but we're excited to start the new 2024 season!

 

The 2024 season is still a "pay-as-you-go" entry fee format. We will collect a $200 Sprint Series entry fee and a $250 Grand Finale entry fee. However, we will only collect entry fees once & issue a $250 refund for every bird that doesn't go to the Grand Finale. It takes A LOT of days to collect entry fees twice. Once the birds are in a good routine and in good shape, we don't want to delay the final race due to entry fee collection.

 

Take care - Mike & Nora
