2 weeks?!?! WHAT!!Yes, we are 2 weeks away from accepting birds for the 2024 season!As a reminder, we have attached the "Tips for Shipping Birds to OLR" below for reference. The most important to remember is to vaccinate your birds 2-3 weeks prior to shipping them, and do not overcrowd boxes. A vaccine before shipping will jumpstart the immune system which will then be boosted with a vaccine upon arrival. Shipping youngsters properly will eliminate stress and overheating in the boxes. And remember Monday & Tuesday's are the best days to ship to ensure the birds arrive before a weekend. - OVER $1,200,000 in GUARANTEED PRIZES- NEW SPRINT SERIES$125 per bird due after 80 milesDistance 100-125-165100% Payout to top 3 birds50% - 30% - 20%- Optional Hoosier Harvest Race w/ GUARANTEED PRIZERace will be flown 3 weeks after the Final Regular Season RaceDue to less daylight that time of year, race will be no longer than 350 miles and can be shortened due to weatherEntry Fee will be $200 per bird (15% retained for expenses)Prizes will be awarded by clocking orderOur goal is to have the optional 350 mile race the same day as the Hoosier Classic Top 100 Auction, weather permitting.
