My Name is Jerry. I reside in a small town north of Springfield,Mo....

I raised blue bar bald head rollers aquired from a friend Larry Espinoza in the early 80's in Bloomington Ca.

With lifes changing times, I got rid of the birds, got a job, got married, and started life....

Fast forward to the winter of 2002. I was talking to Mr. Eldon Cheney about the old times and rollers when he mentioned several excellent roller guys in my area.. Bob Westfall, Bill Roy, V.L "Spike" Gilmore,etc. and they were usually willing to help a newbie out...

I contacted these gentlemen and Jan. 2003 I aquired 10 pair of nice quality birds. I have since bred those birds in an attempt to keep the quality that I started, and move forward. So far, I am very pleased..... If you are ever in the S/W Missouri area, feel free to stop by.

UPDATE: 10-25-07... This year has been one of success and failure. It started back on Jan. 12 2007 when I lost my A Team to an overfly. That left me with nothing to fly for the WC. This years breeding has been good. I bred 82 young and am flying 3 full kits, all being 2007 birds. I flew my birds 10-23-07 for the first time in 9 days due to wind. With the extra rest, they were on fire. I had a single BOP take a few looks, but no attacks... Above all else, I am having fun.

My interest outside of pigeons are: Team Roping, Bass fishing, Hunting, Motocross, Training Police Service Dogs, and all water sports..Of course, my family are the most important!
