Thank you for visiting our website. I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to Double “T” Farm.
Double “T” Farm was established in 1989. Currently, the farm maintains a wild waterfowl collection, peafowl, Lakenvelder, Silkie and Polish chickens, Indian Fantail and Damascene pigeons, registered Wiltshire Horn Sheep, a 20 year old emu and a few ornery farm cats that seem to take pleasure in stalking me while I’m doing chores.

The experience and education I accumulated over my life time, began with my love of animals, at a very early age. I began raising pigeons when I was 12 and started my own game farm, in 1983, in Bennington, Nebraska. In 1989, I moved my farm to its current location in Glenwood, IA, which is just southeast of Omaha, Nebraska and named it Double “T” Farm. In my career, I worked 28 years in the field of veterinary medicine, in both commercial and academic settings, which provided me with the background to understand the needs of the animals. Adding to this, I have 40 years as an active aviculturist, which enables me to provide the appropriate care for these animals. I participate in in the National Poultry Improvement Plan (NPIP), and I am a current member of Heart of America Game Breeders Association (HOAGBA) http://www.gbwf.org/hoagba/ .
I have been an active member of the Indian Fantail Club of America (IFCA) since 1979. I am a member of the Iowa State Pigeon Association and the National Pigeon Association (NPA). Also, I am recognized with the IFCA and the NPA as Master Indian Fantail Judge.
On a more personal note, I am married to a lovely woman, Janice, who was raised as a city girl, in South Omaha, Nebraska and found the farm to be somewhat of a culture-shock, she has acclimated very nicely to farm life and now believes she would never be able to live “in-town” ever again.
Again, thank you for browsing our website. I hope you like what you see. I am always open to ideas and suggestions, so please contact me via the Contact Us page with any questions you have about the stock or if you have any questions in general.
