July always feels like a transition month, winding down the hatching season and hoping the grown birds molt out and are ready to look fresh and conditioned for the fall. July also ushers us into fair season. We try to list mainly Sanctioned fairs on the website so these can be a good opportunity for some easier points and some nice premium checks.

I hope you've had a chance to check out our called "What's New?" page. It's an easy way to keep on top of the new pages, comments and breeders that are being added nearly everyday. You can even subscribe to the feed, if you prefer. There will be 20 new Trivia Questions posted on the website very soon.

If you haven't purchased your bumper sticker yet, they are available. We are hoping to be at some of the bigger shows this fall. Ohio National is currently in our plans and we will definitely have them available for sale there. I have enjoyed seeing them on more and more cars. They really look sharp! Purchase one online for $5 at our Homepage or on our Recommended Products page.
