General Information

Hello, my name is Bob Baxter from Middletown, Pa. I have been raising birds for some 40 years now. I most recently had rollers for over 25 years, but switched from them to show birds for only the past 2 years, I just was not happy with them. I have decided to go back to racing birds again after a 25 year absence, and also back into rollers.

I very much enjoy the racing competition, as well as flying the rollers. I have gotten my racing stock birds from a well known racing man and friend, Clay Williams from New Mexico. I will be flying the two families that he has - they are Morris Gordons, and Calia Janssens. I have also gotten an excellent family of stock birds from my long time friend and lawyer, Frank Zulli. Frank flies Delbars and Deveriendts, and has done very, very well with them.

The family of rollers I have had and got back from my long time friend Dominic Cirri are the James Turner family, which I consider the best in the country today bar none. Dominic flies some of the fastest and deepest rollers I have seen and I have seen many. I would like to thank these true friends and great breeders of these birds for all there help and knowledge, and hope to do well with both breeds. Thanks men, your friendships and knowledge, they mean a lot to me.

Hopefully in the spring my two daughters and I will be starting a release program for white homers, thanks to the nice white Mexican Janssens from Clay Williams. In closing, pictures of the birds will be forthcoming for the site.

Yours in the hobby,

Bob Baxter.
