TESTIMONIALS
Dear John,
This was my first ever old bird season and my second young bird season. My same old birds who generally held the last place positions in the club and 200th+ in my combine in '04, won 4 club races with the worst place being 9th all season in '05 while flying to their nests. My second season for young bird racing in '05 saw my birds win one club and one combine race, being many times in the top 50 in the club and combine. We ended the season 4th club and 5th combine in the young bird average. In the special races, my birds won $550.00 and in the two division, La Sarre race, we would have won the EOC division had we struck our clock at the same station where we shipped the birds from. But it was a closer drive to the OVC division for strike off and so we lost because of the choice we had made, not the birds. Thank you for making your products.
Here is how I used your products and I saw excellent improvements in my bird's performances. I filled a 10 liter pail 3/4 full of mixed grains to which I added on Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday 12 teaspoons of Jed's wheat germ oil. On Wednesday and Thursday I used 12 teaspoons of Natural's garlic oil instead of the wheat germ oil. After stirring the oil in to dampen the feed, I added 12 teaspoons of your CTL Health Blend #3 brown powder. Then I sprinkled on 1 tablespoon of Natural's brewers yeast. I mixed the feed well and let it dry approximately 15 minutes, while getting the water ready. On Friday (or on basketing day) I used plain grains with no additives. The birds got 1 to 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of feed twice a day until the longer races.
I bought a Brita filter for the kitchen water tap and I filled a 10 liter pail with WARM water. Saturday to Thursday I added 1 1/2 teaspoon of the Acid Pack/Electrolytes/Pro-Bio white powder and 3/4 teaspoon of the Mineral and Trace Mineral liquid. I stirred it well and let it sit for the balance of the 15 minutes feed drying time. Friday (or on basketing day) they had plain warm water with 2 tablespoons of pure honey stirred in to 10 liters. I never used water that is not at least room temperature warm because the bird's system can make immediate use of warm water, whereas they can't with cold water. I no longer use a garden hose. They even have their bath in warmed water.
The birds were fed and watered twice daily. From Saturday to Thursday, they had a dish of Iodized table salt, red grit, shell grit and Kilpatrick's black grits. They had Natural's pick vitamins, Pickstone and alfalfa (the bags in pet stores made for small animals). Raw spanish peanuts 2-3 each for treats and for the longer hot weather races, I soaked the peanuts in water and gave all they could eat, after their meal.
Training - old and young birds were done the same in the five weeks before the races started. They loft flew twice a day except Thursday afternoon and Friday (the rest times all season) and Sunday (bath day all season). I gave 2 car tosses at 5 miles, 2 at 10 miles, 2 at 25 miles, 3 at 50 miles on the supposed line of flight. Then I made a 45% angle shift and gave 2 tosses at 25 miles. I had to darken the loft for the first while they were used to resting Thursday PM and Friday AM.
After the races started they were road trained at the 50 mile mark, twice a week. If Monday they went East, then on Wednesday they went West.
When the young birds started ranging well, I loft flew them and let them trap into a little bit of safflower. Then basketed them up and took them for their car toss, twice a week. When they returned they had all they could eat while I was still calling them in. They soon got use to the fact that if they did not trap immediately and before I quit calling, the ones who had trapped in had ate all the food except for about a tablespoon of barley. The others may not have eaten it all but I made sure that the barley was the only thing there to eat when I quit calling for when they did go in. I waited for one hour and then gave them 1 cup of mixed grains. The days I could not wait for them to go in before needing to leave home, I left one full cup of barley for when they went in. I removed the salt and grit dishes from Thursday until the evening of race days. I adjusted this as the basketing day moved forward in the week. On race day from the time I see the birds coming home, I start calling. They have no idea how long I have been calling and they seem to give that little extra to get home and in before the good feed is all gone. I think that is part of how I beat two the O & L DeVries electronic clocked birds, by 2 minutes and 24 seconds, in the pouring rain and using a manual clock here.
My 2005 young birds that were bred and raised on your CTL Health Blend #3 would loft fly twice a day for up to 3 hours and sometimes longer. The days I could not be home to let them out before 5 o'clock, at the latest, I did not let them out at all on those nights. If I let them out at 6 pm they would fly so long that they did not make it back before dark and would get home about half an hour after dawn the next day. They were always in the loft or in the air and it worked very well with your products.
The only medicine they have had has been for worming.

Hi John,
Hope everything is well with you and the birds. My birds have never looked better, thanks to your product. The old birds were loft flying for at least 2 hours a day all winter long. Hawks kept them up a few times for 5 hours. Needless to say, they were more than ready for the 1st race! See results. Also won pick bird pool with a Gr. Daughter of Dream Boy.
Please find enclosed a money order for your product again. I want to make sure I don't run out before the order arrives. I'll keep you posted on the next few races.
Thanks again,
Bruce Daehn
Hey John,
I just wanted to drop you a letter to let you know how my birds have been doing since I put them on your product. This letter is not to exalt myself, but to tell you the truth how I believe your product gives that extra edge.
I probably had the best year I ever had in my life racing pigeons. In young birds, I won 6 out of 12 races, 5 seconds and 1 third with many equal 1st. I had the top 5 high point birds and 14 in the top 20 high point birds. Won 1st average speed and 1st high point loft.
In old birds, I won 12 out of 14 club races (four combine wins), second in the other two, with many equal 1st for I had many birds on the drop. The first week we flew an A, B and Special C race I had the top six in all three races. Won 1st average speed and 1st high point loft. I had the top 4 high point birds and 12 in the top 20 high point birds, with a 25 bird team of widowers.
One cock, Texas 04 3710 DKCK, as a yearling won 1st 150, 4th 150, 6th 200, 1st 300, 13th 200, 2nd 400 (two day birds), 1st 500, 1st 500 nominated, 1st high point bird of the combine! 3710 flew every race of the season, as did most of my cocks. It it unbelievable how these birds on Chisholm Trail Loft product can rebound and fly week after week. The health shines on the birds like never before!
I took the bird to a show this part year (the first show I have been to in fifteen years); I won seven 1st in classes with two division champions.
I really feel that your product has made all the difference and I hope you continue to produce it, for I will never fly without it.
I also want to tell you that some of my best birds have been produced from Chisholm Trail birds.
Thank you,Comanche LoftJack Bryant, Jr.

Hi John,
Sorry for sending this to your order email line, but it seems to be the only one I have for you. I wanted to let you know how we made out at this week's race.
Here is some bad weather racing. We won the Club and the OV Combine this week. We are the longest distance of all members in the Combine for this race. We beat the 2nd bird by 2 minutes and 24 seconds.
Thank you again for your product. If you like you can get 2 packs ready as I will be ordering 2 packs at the end of this month. Please let me know the cost of 2 full orders of Health Blend #3.
Thanks for helping us achieve this,
Connie, Ross, Chris SteacySteacy Family Lofts

Mr. Curry:
I just wanted to let you know that I had a very successful breeding season! I raised more youngsters than I can possibly fly. That in itself should be a testimony to the product. The 3 hens that I purchased from you last year have raised some beautiful young birds this year. I banded a youngster from one of the "E.T." daughters for an auction race our combine is having and it was the highest selling youngster at the auction. My youngsters are flying and training very well! They shine and glisten in the light. What a world of difference in my breeding program this year from last year. A huge improvement from last year. I honestly have to say, the main contributor to my healthier, more productive birds is the product.
Take care!

Hi John,Our 2004 young bird season finally ended and I must say this has been an outstanding year for our team here at Silva Loft 1. This has been by far the best season I have ever had, having been racing for the past 17 years. Winners to 2 Hawaii concourses, 3 club combines, winning the 5th Annual Hui E'Ono Invitational Race, one of the biggest young bird races here in Hawaii can be attributed to hard work, dedication and most of all, healthy pigeons.
Young birds that were sent to the mainland United States to fly also have done well in the AU Convention race in Florida, winning the 500 mile race in the North Texas Combine/Concourse Old Bird series, placing 19th in the 600 mile Old Bird there, placing 203rd place out of 860 entries in the Vegasrace.com and most of all winning the Holiday Cup Super Bird Race in San Diego, California.
Chisholm Trail Health Blend has surely made a big difference in the performance of my young birds this past season. I was able to maintain a healthy team without the use of antibiotics. My entire loft has been on CTL Blend 365 days of the year for many years now and I will continue to use CTL Blend. I'd like to encourage all readers to give CTL Health Blend a try. It will make a difference in maintaining healthy pigeons/healthy loft.
Thanks to John Curry for all his advice, support and encouragement for the many years I have known him, that using CTL Health Blend would make a difference in the health of my pigeons. The results of using CTL Blend has been unbelievable.
Aloha from Hawaii,

Hello John,I want to thank you again for sponsoring the California Classic. I have 320 birds and a few more are still to come. I am waiting on a group from Mexico. Anyway, I like your products. The birds look great! I have only replace three birds, believe it or not. I did have 4 or 5 get a virus. They happened to be all from one flyer. This group of birds I just recently put back into the lofts. They were isolated since first week of May. I have promoted your products. I hope things are going well for you. Enclosed is a letter that I have sent to the participants of this race. Last, I give the powder every day.Best regards,John TimmermanCalifornia Classic/San Diego
John,How are you? I just want to tell you that your system is working well here with my one-loft birds (ILLINI One Loft Race). In fact I never had them this healthy in previous years. They really shine and they fly well too. I am very pleased with your product. I have changed my flyers about the race to mention your product and on every update I sent out to the participants it is not only mentioned but I "brag" about it. A couple guys have already told me that they ordered it from you.Just wanted to touch base with you. Steve Sheary/ILLINI One Loft Race.
John,I sent in my order for another of the Chisholm Trail Product. It has been a lifesaver. Only had 3 birds die this year out of nearly 100 sent in from out-of-area for the Dixie Southern Race. I have to say it has single handedly saved my butt as I lost over 40 birds last year and over 80 the year before. All of those were out-of-area birds for our HRP Classic Race. This year having only 3 birds die (they got too ill to recover and had to be put down) was fantastic! Thanks for a great product that really works! You may use my compliment, but it is more than that, as I was about to quit the birds. I just could not stand watching them die! Your product saved me being a statistic. Thanks again, Steve Jenkins the Dixie Buckeye.
Dear John and to whom,I just wanted to write and thank you for your products and opportunity to maybe help somebody that loves his pigeons and this sport. I've used just about all I could to obtain maximum health in my birds and I could never find it. I'd always be looking for some medication to get us there and it never happened. I've been fairly competitive racing birds but nothing like these last 3 years that I've been using your product. I'd win a couple old bird races and a couple young bird races but since using your stuff, my results are fantastic! Last 2 year's young birds 13 out of 16 races and 4 combine wins. Average speed, combine and club champion birds 1,3,5,7, etc., not to mention just the overall health of all my birds, I'm not using medication like I used to. I don't even worry about it. If you're a worrier like me, that's relief! Thank you John. Carl Jarson.
Hi John.I would like to let you know that I had a very successful 2003 racing season with old and young birds. As you know, I'm flying in the strongest competition probably in the whole country, Tampa Bay Concourse. I don't have to brag about my birds as the results speak for them. I'm very positive that your products have a lot to do with my success. I've been using your product over 10 years in two different climates, Ohio and now in Florida. My theory is you have to have healthy birds to be competitive. Thanks to you for coming up with your health blend program. It's no secret from my part; I'm spreading the word about your product and recommending to my fellow fanciers in Ohio, Florida and California. Sincerely, Andy's Loft-Andy Kowalewski
Hi John,Jerry Bellor from Florida; just wanted to let you know how much I like your product. I've been using it for a year now. I've had no sick birds in my lofts. The droppings are like marbles and the loft is so much easier to clean. I won two 200 mile races with 800 to 1200 birds in a race, also taking 4 auction prizes out of 6 birds shipped on a 300 mile race and many more positions. I've got a lot of my friends using CTL Program and they are more than satisfied. They all said, "it's the first time they haven't had sick birds in their loft". I fly in the biggest club and combine in Florida and have had one of my best years so far 2003. Thanks a lot for a great product. Your friends, Jerry Bellor.
Dear John, I am writing this letter in regards to your product. I feel because of your product, that my birds are much healthier and are performing much better for me. My young birds this year for the first time up flying, flew for an hour and 10 minutes. When they came back they routed at the same time. Which is unusual for birds at that age. They were 40 to 50 days old. They were only out of the loft 4 or 5 times prior to them flying the hour and 10 minutes. I watched them carefully and they looked like they had flown maybe 5 minutes, because they were not a bit tired. The following day, they flew for 57 minutes. Last year, my young bird team won 7 out of 12 races. I feel it was due to your products. I am enclosing my young bird results from last year. I am the 8-Ball Loft. My oldest breeder is a 1984 bird. This year I ran out of your product, the first round of eggs out of an old cock bird were clear. Just after the 1st round, I got the product again and got it back into their systems. He's had 4 rounds since and he's filled every round. I feel that since your product, I am doing better in racing and breeding. Because I don't have to medicate and tear down their systems I feel that this is a very good and successful product. Yours Sincerely In Sport, Howard Rains

Hello John,
I hesitate to send this email because I can't report "fully" on the products I purchased from you. I did complete the young bird race season as I expected, but I did far better than hoped. I won 8 out of 20 club races. That's the good part <g>. The bad part is that I ran out of Acid Pack 4-Way™ 2 weeks after the season began. I did use Chisholm Trail Loft Health Blend everyday and I feel it helped their overall health. I gave the birds a green herbal product in place of the Acid Pack 4-Way™, because it contains some probiotics and enzymes and it was handy. They did really well and shocked not only me, but the club members as well. I like the Chisholm Trail Loft Health Blend product and intend to purchase some more in the near future.
This has been a great year and some credit has to go to Chisholm Trail Loft Health Blend, what degree it made the difference, I can't say. But I personally like the product as I feel I'm fighting pathogens without destroying their intestinal flora and that gives them an edge against drug induced birds who are fighting to regain some "form", that mine seem to maintain somewhat regularly. I can't tell you what form is, or how to recognize it, but they won and I guess they must have had it.
Humbly yours,
Roger Ragain
John Curry,
John your product, Chisholm Trail Loft Health Blend, is the easy way out of pigeon flying. Chisholm Trail Loft Health Blend takes out all the guess work of flying healthy pigeons. It would be foolish not to use this. You can virtually throw away all other medications because birds posted on Chisholm Trail Loft Health Blend show up clean. My racer results speak for themselves. I need not say another word.
Sincerely,

Dear John,
Since you've filled my second order for your product, Chisholm Trail Loft Health Blend, it should tell you something is working for me. My birds have been using this system for a full year so my opinion was not something rushed hastily. In flat laymen's terms, the stuff just plain works!
John, I'm sixty-three years old and have had birds for over fifty years. These have been mainly Homers, but also some Rollers and show birds years ago. Most recently (past four years), it's been some really nice birds acquired when I moved back to Michigan from New York where I couldn't keep birds for a short time.
These birds were making me crazy with loose droppings and condition problems. Their molt last year was a disaster and we'd tried every medication under the sun from different suppliers to no avail. Lots of expense, but no results. The loft was scraped at least twice a day and scrubbed with disinfectant and still no luck. Your Chisholm Trail Loft Health Blend products did turn things around!
I wish I could tell you that my loft is full of five hundred mile winners, but that's not what I do. My birds are for my enjoyment of a breed I learned to love long ago. They are raised and trained for my own observation as to which are best, how well they come back after being raced and which fit my idea of a good pigeon.
Your products have allowed these undertakings to be fun for me. The loft is much easier to keep clean and the birds are in great condition. It should be a must for any serious fancier! Keep up the good work!
Sincerely,
George E. Horn

Hi John,We just finished our Old Bird 1999 season and I must say that this is by far the best season I have ever had. I won the Champion Bird, I came in first on two first place races out of ten races, first club, first combine, first concourse and on the tenth race, I came in first club and first combine. I was always on the top ten in every race. My race results speaks for themselves and I need not say any more. This results in hard work and good medication.

11-05-00Mr. Curry:
Relating to your Chisholm Trail Loft Health Blend product for the Racing Pigeon, I will put forward the following endorsement. In 1997 at our Northern Rockies Lofts, I began proactively researching alternatives to traditional medical regimes for our pigeons. Particularly I wished to, as much as possible, eliminate the need for the use of antibiotics....especially the flock treatment. I discovered not long into our investigation that the USDA had recently approved the use of probiotics for the prevention of salmonella in chickens, for exactly that purpose, the elimination of antibiotics. Initially, I prepared a homemade concoction that was fairly effective, including components (yeast and friendly bacteria) similar to those in your product. Our health improved and in the spring of 1999, we raced the only entry west of the Mississippi into the I.F. Hall of Fame (1999 Old Birds). In the fall of that year I considered trying the BioMos to replace our more primitive recipe. For the 2000 season we have used the Chisholm Trail Loft Health Blend and my satisfaction is complete. Flock treatments for disease using antibiotics seems to be an event of the past. Our stock is in great health and we produced the Summer Series five race average speed Champion. I prefer the more scientific and refined product you have provided over our own homemade and feel we are really on track with Chisholm Trail Loft Health Blend here at the Northern Rockies Lofts. I firmly believe that Chisholm Trail Loft Health Blend represents a trend towards the future and takes the breeding and racing program a step up. You are providing a great service to the sport of Racing Pigeons.
Very Sincerely,Ron West, West Glacier, Montana
Hi John,
We just wanted to tell you how happy we are using Chisholm Trail Loft Health Blend. We had an outstanding year. Flying only 9 widowhood cocks, all yearlings, we won 6 club races with 6 different cocks. We also took 2 concourse 2nds losing 1st by only 3 and 8 seconds. We won the club Yearling Derby. We ended up taking 2nd Champion loft old birds. All with only 9 cocks, competing against seasoned veterans flying as many as 40 bird teams. In young birds, we also took 2nd Champion loft with 6 wins with a small team of only 30 young birds. One concourse wing against 600 birds winning by 10 minutes. We had another race from 188 miles, winning with a 10 bird drop taking 1st through 9th club and 5th through 13th concourse. Bear in mind, this is only my second year flying and our first year flying old birds. We're competing against seasoned veterans with many years of racing experience who fly large teams. We also went the whole year with perfect health and no illness at all. Once we started racing, we never did any medicating whatsoever. Plus we use the same feed our competition uses. The one thing we use that none of our competition uses is your Chisholm Trail Loft Health Blend. We started using Chisholm Trail Loft Health Blend when we paired last year and have used it every day since. We feel Chisholm Trail Loft Health Blend has given us the edge in our competition by keeping our birds healthy and in top condition. I can't say enough about your product or service. Please feel free to use this as a testimonial, but just don't tell any of my club members about it.
