Stefan Steenbergen (Herk-de-Stad) wins 1st Provincial Bourges 1,312p (fastest of 3,076p)

On the national flight from Bourges we had to deal with 2 extra nights in the basket, not an easy task for the pigeons in special circumstances with the heat of the past few days. The winner for the province of Limburg can be found in the top colony of Stefan Steenbergen. In total Stefan clocked 5 pigeons in the first 10 provincial and these are also 5 pigeons in the first 100 National. In the lead was of course the top hen “Nicolleke” who had already presented a fantastic list of achievements.

Bourges Nat 17,163 yearlings: 48-53-61-99-391-1251-… 13/27 
Bourges Nat 13,580 old: 11-166-466-473-952-1165-1175-1195-… 9/11

Stefan is going to compete with the old and yearlings with hens on classic widowhood. During the day they have an aviary at the front of the brick loft. They have a resting loft with chapels and rollers on the floor.

Because Stefan had an operation the week before, the pigeons could not be cared for as he wanted. That is why he decided to give the pigeons a week of rest and not to give them anything to Argenton despite the good location. The pigeons arrived fresh at the start of Bourges and performed fantastically.
