Walter Van der Meulen from Sirjansland (Netherlands) wins 1st National Ace Pigeon Barcelona in the Netherlands 2021-2022
24 Feb 2023
The treasury of Sirjansland on Barcelona, Walter Van der Meulen from the Netherlands shines year after year on Barcelona himself and also lets others reap the benefits of his success. His new top hen is “Barcelona Girl”. In 2021 this hen won 5th National Barcelona '21 against 4,919 pigeons ( 41 I.Nat 16,485p ) and now 42nd National against 4,842 pigeons. This is a direct pigeon from J & T Nobels. In the ranking she becomes 1st Dutch pigeon in 2 years from Barcelona and internationally she finishes in 2nd place.
The other success for Walter Van der Meulen came via Pieter Goeree, he won 1st National Barcelona against 4,842 pigeons ( 4th Int.Nat 16,897p ) and again in very heavy weather. The mother of this topper is a direct hen from Walter and is a daughter of "Crack 061" who is a real super breeder and is a granddaughter of "Friezin" 9th National Barcelona 6,909 pigeons in another very tough edition. The 58th National Barcelona is also a granddaughter of "Crack 061" and comes from the same coupling. Another success at the highest level thanks to Van der Meulen variety.

Breeding base
Since 1992 Walter went direction the marathon races where he really fell in love with. The first real successes come from Jan Ernest and Janssens Hausoul, or 2 world famous lofts with a strain to bow for. Next to these the strain is accomplished with pigeons from Paul & Luc Bramel and Comb. Rekker Westra. But especially the first old strain is still doing amazingly well in the current top pigeons where now especially the strain of the “823” stands out really clear

This top hen was the 1st pigeon in the Van der Meulen house in 2 very tough editions. This in itself is very wonderful without mentioning the real results. So in 2021 she won 5th National Barcelona '21 against 4,919 pigeons ( 41 I.Nat 16,485p ) and now 42nd National against 4,842 pigeons ( 86 Int.Nat 16,832p ).
This hen was bred by J & T Nobels, her mother is a granddaughter of Chris van der Velden's "Super Vanoppen". This stock cock became the father of 2-4-13-16-18-21-25-29 national and grandfather of 6-7-7-8-17-22 national. Early flying nationally is simply in the genes here.
Especially for this sale, the only direct child that will be auctioned this auction season.
