Three consecutive hits in the long distance for Ludwig Veulemans (Halen)

His goals have changed a bit; Ludwig Veulemans is increasingly focusing on long-distance racing, as his pigeons always returned with reserves from 500km races. Since last year, he's taken steps towards the long-distance, and last season he immediately won two 1st provincial long-distance prizes. This season, he's taken it a step further, achieving three consecutive top prizes and earning his fifth provincial victory of the season. Silver and fourth place in the provincial yearling category from Libourne also come from his loft. His second pigeon is a top-notch cock that won 1st National Zone from Limoges. A new, highly talented pigeon, and with several pigeons among the best ace pigeons in the country, Ludwig and his wife Tuy are making a name for themselves in the long-distance.
