Good Morning Breeding

I have tossed two time with some bad winds not thinking they were going to be that bad!!! This year the wind has been super crazy and unpredictable yesterday went 28 Miles and released with a 5-8 NW wind so a side head wind. It was call for 30-35 around 2-3 pm so when I dropped in to the valley the wind was blowing 20-25 from the NW. All birds came from the South East all day into a non stop 25-35 head wind all day. And  at my surprise the birds look great not super tired and feeling super after 3-5 hours. Got 305 home I expect more today will give a bath and start again down the road maybe Tuesday there call for 30-40 NW winds Tonight and tomorrow. Hope you all have a great Sunday and Week!!!

Thanks Mark

GOOD AFTERNOON BREEDERS

BIRDS ARE DOING GOOD AND VERY HEALTHY AS I SPEAK!! LIKE ALWAYS THE RIVER ALWAYS GIVES US PROBLEM'S  SOME BIRDS REFUSE TO GO OVER THE RIVER THEY GO SOUTH OR NORTH TILL THEY FIND A EASIER PLACE TO CROSS. VERY HIGH PERCENT CROSS BY THE SECOND OR THIRD TIME WITH NO PROBLEM'S, TOMORROW WE WILL 15 MILES 2X 35 MILES 2X 58 MILES 3X 82 MILES 1X 100 MILES 1X. THEN ACTIVATION AND THEN THE RACES START. MANY BIRDS  FLY AROUND THE LOFT AFTER RETURNING HOME FEELING GOOD LET'S HOPE THE GROUP OF 415 CONTINUE TO TRAIN SMART!! I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GREAT WEEK!!

Birds are looking and doing fine Many short tosses around the valley different Directions!! Yesterday they finally did good I went west 2 miles and they didn’t mess around they were gone with in 1 minute and continued to fly around the loft. I had a group of over 100 fly for over 3-4 hours, we will continue to do short tosses then will cross the snake river and after they come good on the other side I will then start jumping them out we will be at 56 miles before I know it. Health is super I am starting to mark all the cocks so when it’s time I will separate them so there is no mating up or egg laying when the races start. This is always fun on trainings my wife always pushes and closes the door but I always have a few that stay out looking for either sex. But after about two weeks they learn the system and are easy to cut out. With one loft races opened now many birds being shipped out I wish everyone the best of luck and hope you all have many champions this year!! That’s our goal in the breeding program. Till next week stay safe and you might want to think of buying  a horse and buggy  it’s dam cheaper then GAS LOL
Thanks Mark

GOOD MORNING BREEDERS

TRAINING STARTED FRIDAY ONLY ONE MILE BUT I DO MANY SHORT TOSSES THEN JUMP THEM!! THE REASON I DO THAT IS TO BUILD CONFIDENCE. TODAY WILL BE ONE MILE TOSS THEN 2 5'S 2-10'S  2-20'S 2-30'S 2-40'S 2-50'S 2-75'S 1-100 AND 65 MILES TOSSES  AND THEN ACTIVATION. BIRDS LOOK GREAT HEALTH IS SUPER AND THERE DOING GREAT AROUND THE LOFT. TOPPIGEON IS SENDING ME STRONGER POWER SUPPLY'S HE THINKS THAT WILL HELP ON MISSING BIRDS. OTHER THEN THAT I WILL BE LIVE ON ALL TOSSES NO MATTER  HOW LONG IT IS, ALSO I RELEASE IN GROUPS OF 4 TILL I GET TO 65 MILES THEN ONE RELEASE. I KNOW IT DRIVES SOME PEOPLE CRAZY BUT THAT'S HOW I DO IT. I WILL NOT HOLD BACK ON TRAINING DO TO GAS PRICES BIRDS MUST GO DOWN THE ROAD MANY TIMES OR THEY WILL NOT BE READY FOR THIS TUFF MOUNTAIN COURSE. HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT SUNDAY WITH YOUR FAMILY'S

Birds have been out every Day this week but One Day. I have about 20-30 getting better and the others are flying great with over a hundred flying for over two hours. Once I get all on track the trailer will be down the road 4-6 times a week till 1st race. Birds are almost done with there cleaning up treatments and looking very good they will be ready to go by March. It's been a long year this year having birds over the winter can be very challenging this year lots of cold cold weather and still in the low 20"s every Morning, February starts to warm up some but not this year been to cold so let's hope March is better I am sure it will be. Hope to see Many of you in Vegas looking forward to warmer weather and many Conversation about pigeons.Till next week stay safe and have a great Week!!

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas with Friends or Family. The weather here hasn't been good at all last December I was training and loft flying every day. The birds are in great health and eating like crazy with this cold weather they are calling for next week  8,9,10,13 🥶🥶🥶🥶. I will have them ready to race when that time comes and I will continue to let them out on good days. This year 90% OLR or clubs had many many losses for what ever reason so let's hope 2022 bring better results for us all. Until next year have a Happy New Year Stay safe its crazy times right now.
