I just had a e mail from the breeding station in Belgium. now this is some set up. What are member thoughts about places like this.?

In addition to our ELITE pigeons, we house more than 30 breeds in 660 compartments. We provide between 10,000 and 13,000 pigeons. Nowhere in the world so many racing pigeons are professionally cultivated in one place.

During recent years, we have further optimized our pigeon population by means of a strict selection. We additionally developed a Short-distance Loft, formed by breeding pigeons from a series of leading Belgian speed fanciers. This way we are meeting the increased demand in pigeons for all distances.

For the lovers of small and great middle-distance we have consequently invested in Koopman pigeons. For fans of the long-distance and great long-distance many pigeons of the Dutch champion ‘Ko van Dommelen’ joined the Descheemaecker Pigeon Center.

Depending on the period of the year, the following pigeons are available for sale:

youngsters
yearlings
5-year-old breeders

Not for me

Don't see any difference between that and Louella apart from numbers which to me would prefer Louellas

Not something I would be interested in.

Welk, historically Louella always bought the Champions themselves. Often paying vast sums

Use to be like Christmas Day going on a coach trip there as boy
Didn’t have a clue what I was doing but I loved it

It's not really my thing either, I'm sure you can get some decent pigeons at bargain prices, but I would imagine it's too easy to spend a lot of money on rubbish too !!
I did actually get the opportunity to go over in January as our Fed are taking a coach over there, they sold all the seats so I can imagine it will be a good weekend and a bit of a laugh.
I did enjoy the Epsom show when I went there a few years ago, I did think a lot of the birds there were over priced, but again, I'm sure there were bargains to be had too !!

i'm following a olr bird it has done the final just waiting on the auction

have also register with Northern premier auctions Les Green see what he has i;m a hen short but want a raced hen
