It's official.
Our beautiful Ermine Bantams will have an ABA acceptance meet at the Ohio National on November 8, 9 this fall.
Our Ameraucana Alliance National Meet will be a great chance to put on a great exhibit of Ermine Bantams before that acceptance meet. Last year we had a fine looking class of 24 at the National in Fayetteville, AR!
Let's get these guys out for a practice run again this year at our National Meet in Dayton.
Just for interest - a group of gangly young cockerels and a mixed group of youngins'
I was informed that Newt Long is now the show superintendent due to the untimely passing of Clell Agler.

Just a side note and heads up, for those that plan to attend and will need to stay at a hotel there, in the past few years there have been several vehicles broken into at hotels near the show grounds. Even with cameras, lights in the parking lot, and security on the grounds. It was advised to me to book a hotel a little bit farther away from the show grounds and do not leave **anything** in sight through the car windows. Just a cautionary note :)
This is a copy of Becky Pelton's post in the Breeding section - GOOD NEWS For LF and Bantam Ermine breeders and exhibitors
It has been a while since I have updated this Forum. So here it goes . . . .
1) The ABA has approved the name "Ermine" and the SOP. They have also approved the Qualifying meet. The meet will be held at Ohio Nationals on November 8th & 9th , 2025. We are needing a total of 25 birds at this show. Rebecca Howie is keeping a list of names and number of birds for this show. So if you have any question or would like to show your stuff please message her.
2) The APA has approved the name "Ermine" and the SOP the committee submitted to them. The big news is the APA has approved the Ohio Nationals show to be held on November 8th & 9th , 2025 to be the 1st Qualifying meet for the LF. That means the Ohio Nationals in 2026 will be our final Qualifying meet for the LF. I am keeping all the breeders names and total bird count for this event. So please feel free to contact me regarding the show. LF also needs 25 birds.
The AA and all of its members have been invaluable in this endeavor. Since Ohio Nationals will be the Qualifying meet for the Bantams and the 1st Qualifying meet for the LF we will have a table set up with Silent Auction items to help raise funds for Cash prizes for our first card winners for both the Bantams and LF. Since this variety has been supported by the member of the AA will have volunteers manning this table throughout the entire event. On this table we will have items that will be sold to help increase the monetary funds for AA. We will also be recruiting new members for our group. I would like to have different members helping to man the table, if possible. So all of our Wonderful members can meet and greet new member prospects. I will be checking this forum regularly so feel free to ask any questions or post any concerns you may have.
This has been a group effort and I want to be sure I continue making every feel involved. Even if you are not breeding or showing.
Thank you ALL again! This has been a rocky road for all of us but I'm going to keep moving towards our goal.
Let Do this ! ! Remember "Quality over Quantity "
