Herbots Jo & Raf (Halle-Booienhoven) win 1st Provincial Chateauroux 1,866 young pigeons
08 Sep 2026
We already knew that the Herbots family's young pigeons were in top form after they won Bourges National and had the fastest pigeon out of 31,000 birds. At Argenton 2 weeks ago, they won 7 x TOP 100 National, and now at Chateauroux, they are taking home gold at the provincial level, winning 12 x TOP 160 National. Indeed, the racing team is in excellent shape, and once again, these pigeons come from the golden breeding loft that has been formed here for years.
Chateauroux National 12,504 young pigeons: 13.30.49.84.102.108.109.111.120.138.142.160…..
Argenton National 15,769 young pigeons: 34.61.72.81.96.98.99.132.178.281 ….
Bourges National 16,705 youngsters: 1, 41, 64, 119, 135, 138, 253, 266, 329, …
Or in other words, 14 young pigeons that have won top 100 positions in 3 races this year! (including the fastest of 31,000 pigeons at Bourges)
Winner BE 26-2030071 is a blue hen and was entered as the 1st nominated pigeon. She had previously also won 266th National Bourges and 2 top prizes in shorter races. Her father comes from Wolfgang Roeper and is a son of Olympiad pigeon “Olympic 495” and a grandson of superstar “Super Geof” from the Herbots Kobe & Kato colony. The mother is a direct pigeon from A & B Leideman and is a granddaughter of Crack 19.
The 2nd pigeon is “BE 26-2030025”, winner of 30th National Chateauroux against 12,504 pigeons, and is a son of the superstar “De Flup”. In a very short time, “De Flup” has turned into a top breeder in the 1st and 2nd generation. A daughter of “De Geoff” from Herbots Kobe & Kato was paired with this top cock again. Indeed, once again this line, crossed with the very best of the Herbots family, creates fireworks.
