Good Morning Breeders,
Birds are still doing great! Healthy and still routing. Will be trying for Friday, Saturday and Monday tosses. A 45, 65, and 85 mile tosses. Weather has been a big issue here. No sun and the passes are all fogged in. Maybe waiting for later in morning toss.
Last 45 mile toss had a clocking malfunction. Add another 205 birds to the 1014 clocked. May delete that toss. Will be doing an inventory loft fly tomorrow, if not raining.
Getting close to activation 100 mile toss. Shooting for 14th or 16th of January.
Hope you all had a great holiday.
Take Care and Be Safe
GVLHR TEAM
Birds are coming along extremely well. We had 300 birds clocked in one minute and 600 clocked in 2 minutes on the 50 mile toss with mass release. From now on, all tosses from 45 miles or more will be all together. Weather here is a chilly 25 deg. in the mornings.
Activation Toss from the 100 mile will be mid. January. All entry fees are due then of $300. Everyone will be in the average speed this year. There will be a sprint race at 135 miles. $100 is optional entry for that race. A 10 for 1 will be the pay out for that race only. So $100 makes a $1000. The first 4 races are average speed 135, 175, 225 and 325. The 400 is extra $100.
If there is no sun for training or races. There is no toss.
Hope to see you all at the 325, Feb. 17th.
Take Care and be Safe
Good luck to all. GVLHR TEAM

Update on the progress of the Birds as of 11/22/2022. The health has been good, I think the Birds are in better shape than last year, they are looking good. As of today we have had 5 Training Tosses.
We are taken out the Birds every 2 to 3 days (weather Permitting) we are letting them out in groups up until the 50 Miler Training Mark.
We now have 1338 Birds flying as of 11/22. Please refer to Wincompaion Breeder List and click on your Loft Name, you then can see any missing or lost Birds in your breeder list. This is always good to do because sometimes the loss Bird will come back in a couple days, we always wait a week before posting loss Bird during Training.
Wishing all you and your Family’s a Happy Thanksgiving.

We have posted our Hand Scan Inventory it will be in 2 Parts; one will be for 1334 posted now and second will be approx. 40 remaining that will be posted on the second Inventory as were dealing with Late arrivals and some corrections that need to be done. It should be within day or so.
A quick note we been dealing with Monsoons which are playing havoc to our normal routine, we had a Tornado hit us here at the loft Last Sunday, turning one Loft Section over on its back with Brian Inside while feeding the Birds, it is safe to say he’s alright with some bumps and bruises we had 5 Bird Fatalities. It could have been worse. Well get the photos to our Gallery.
Good Luck to All, be safe and avoid Tornados while feeding your Birds.
