Hermans - Bonne (Loksbergen) won 1st National Argenton 11,184 yearlings

17 Dec 2024

This season the colony of Hermans – Bonné from Loksbergen in Limburg was confirmed in the national races. Wim & Roger won 1st National Argenton against 11,177 yearling pigeons and also had a 7th National against 11,177 yearling pigeons on that race with their top hen “Nina”.

Since 2023, they have won 4 x TOP 7 Nationals with either yearlings or young pigeons. The new approach to racing hens is paying off and will only make them stronger in the coming years.

The founder of this colony is “Den Hollander” who comes from Jurgen Reurs and who himself achieved a super list of achievements here in Loksbergen. He became 13th National Ace Pigeon Middle Distance KBDB, but very quickly became the common thread (literally) throughout this colony in the breeding loft. Not only the color but everything caused a new revolution of this new breeding line in the loft. Now Wim and Roger have been building on this topper for 10 years and fortunately for them, almost all crosses with this “Hollander” are successful, which makes them a complete success. 

Unfortunately, “Den Hollander” was stolen, which means that no recent children have been in the breeding loft for the last 2 years, but there is still more than enough material available to make their mark on the national flights, which will increasingly become their main goal. 

For the first time they are bringing a unique group of 8 young pigeons from the best breeders together with 2 proven top pigeons. 

For whom the unique opportunity to acquire something from this growing top colony.
