Quick Bailey

I have been very busy with my new breeding program. I have 30 breeding pairs mated and working for me - (6 pairs of N/C Red White Barred Saxon Shields) (2 pairs of N/C Black White Barred Saxon Shields) ( 3 pairs of N/C Blue Spangle Saxon Shields) ( 6 pairs of Black White Barred Silesians ) ( 2 pairs of Red White Barred Silesians) ( 6 pairs of Black White Barred Saxon Swallows) (2 pairs of Red White Barred Saxon Fullheads) ( 3 pairs of Blue Black Barred Saxon Fullhead Swallows) - So far I have banded 22 young birds and have several pairs on recently hatched young birds. I attended the local Snohomish County Pigeon Club meeting. The date and location for their annual all breeds pigeon show was announced as the first Saturday in October. They've asked me if it would be possible to have a NCPC meet at this show and I responded by saying that I would look at it and get back to them. The positive attribute would be a portion of the entry fee would be given to the NCPC. - Possible exhibitors would include; Mitch Slagle, Dave Harris, Dave Holloway, Rob Trimlin, Marvin Jones, Gene Nolan and myself. They have asked Mike Cobb our NCPC Vice President that lives in Los Angeles, California to be this years all breed judge. I have received several inquiries here in the Pacific Northwest looking for breeding pairs of Swallows and Shields. I have referred them to other breeders as I will not have anything available until late fall. With the help of our NCPC Junior Director Mitch Slagle we have placed numerous fliers up at all the local feed stores offering Color Pigeons to 4-H Juveniles in order to help locate and promote new "Color Pigeon" breeders. Beginning in mid August, we plan on attending several County and State Fairs in order to introduce our Color Pigeons to them. We believe that exposure and availability of material will offer a great deal of excitement. Because Mitch Slagle has a long history of being very pro-active in Washington States 4-H organization he can relate to this very important group.
