Gray Fox and Harms Loft

Gray Fox and Harms Loft breed racing homer pigeons in Butler, IL, Madison County and the Metro East near St. Louis. They are guided by national pigeon association standards, conducting regular health and performance testing to ensure every bird meets soundness and flight criteria.

The lofts are designed for optimal ventilation and natural light, and birds receive daily gentle handling to build trust and equanimity. Hatchlings are gradually introduced to flight exercises on nearby courses, fostering strong homing skills and stamina that reflect the breed’s racing heritage.

Local fanciers praise the consistency of stock and the breeders’ patient approach to training and socialization. They maintain transparent communication with new and experienced pigeon enthusiasts, sharing advice on nutritional balance, loft layout, and race preparation. A steady focus on welfare and sport readiness has made their birds a respected presence in regional racing circles. Each breeding pair is selected for health, flight performance, and temperament, reflecting years of careful line development.
