Hello Jo, Raf and family, 

As discussed with you during the national day in Mons, we have just received the ranking for the 2024 speed ace pigeons for the EPR. 
For our small colony (see mini colony: 3 breeders, 1 yearling and 14 young birds for 2024) we take the 6th Ace pigeon speed (category 2024) for Hainaut and we rank with it in 8th place overall for Hainaut/Wallon Brabant united (EPR), all this at short notice by handing over 40 km to the other participants and all this with your descendants! 
The dad being the son of Jo's “gift 2020” on a daughter of 505 from 2007, base of the colony of Mr Dany Leturcq 
Attached as a document a small film showing the young female as well as her grandfather (gift that Jo gave us in 2020 when purchasing a second female Yvan line) and pedigree of her mother (HOOYMANS), no pedigree for the dad because we don't have the computer program to do it. We would like to thank you for your honesty and for your valuable advice during our meetings, without which all this would not have been possible. 
We believe that from up there, your dad and ours are proud of their family. 
Another BIG THANK YOU to the HERBOTS family.

Hallo Spfr. Job Herbots 

Habe im Sommer 2022 einen Sohn von Olympic Rico mit der Nr. 2131218-22 Grizzle bekommen. 

Im ersten Zucht Jahr waren die Jungen Tauben leider nicht 100 % gesund und wir verloren viele Tauben.... 

Aber 2024 hatte ich an Sohn Rico eine Tochter meines top Vogel 1056 gepaart... Und siehe da... Zwei Söhne flogen den 1.Konkurs im Jungflug.... 

Am 10.8.24 der 01248-24-33 in der FG bei  676 Tauben 120 Km.... 

Am 24.8.24 der 01248-24-82 in der RV bei 328 Tauben 140km....

Die Tochter 01248-24-81 ist in Dubai one Loft Race dabei... Und zeigt sich sehr gut... 

Mit freundlichen Grüßen 

Harald Hecher 

Hallo Jo,

hallo Stefan,

ich denke, meine Auktion ist mit einem Gesamtpreis in Höhe von 10.375 € (12 Tauben / Schnitt 864 €) trotz der sehr großen und qualitativ hochwertigen Auktionen, die zeitgleich bei Pigeon Bids liefen, sehr gut gelaufen. Ich bin mit dem Ergebnis sehr zufrieden, ich hoffe, Sie auch.

Ich möchte mich hiermit ganz herzlich bei dem gesamten Herbots Team für die Organisation und Durchführung meiner Auktion bedanken.

Wie immer eine vertrauensvolle Zusammenarbeit, die mir sehr wichtig ist.

Des Weiteren wünsche ich Ihnen einen großartigen Erfolg bei der beeindruckenden Koopman Totalauktion, die ja in Kürze beginnt.

Nochmals herzlichen Dank!

Viele Grüße aus Rheine!

Hi Jo,

I am very, very pleased with the two birds you very kindly sent over, I am absolutely delighted with both of them, it is not very often I buy pigeons without seeing them first, you have done yourself proud, I will be sure to let my many friends know, you are a very good stockman.

Thank you once again

Kind regards

Nick Barran
