Willy Steenaerts in Lummen – a top professional in the pigeon sport

In the Belgian Limburg is one of Willy Steenaerts for years the TOP addresses in the pigeon sport. While he convinces with first-class services at the distances between 100 and 700 km. In particular shy away from Willy no competition and plays around with his pigeons not only against farmers "to the Church" but shows his whole class in the provincial contests. Even in his club “WITPEN LUMMEN” in year 42,000 pigeons played. So he entered until today 12 provincial victories. Must do this first one, here in Limburg, where the Belgian pigeon sport shows still competitions.

Willy began with pigeons from his uncle, who was an enthusiastic player of short-haul.
The real breakthrough came on the medium-haul already in the seventies, when he got einigeTauben by Jef Vansweefelt (here it was the line of Schilderij came from the famous three exceptional pigeons by Gommaire Verbruggen from Kaggevinne: the) “Kletskop ',.’ Teen “and” Massis “. Followed by excellent pigeons by Flor Engels from Putte, F.lli Clerinckx from Herk-de-Stad, Hubert Schroyens from Itegem (brother-in-law of the late Jef Houben), Luc Geerinckx from Wommelgem, Herbots Bros. and then last but not least the outstanding sires "Kannibaal 51", bought on sale by Paul Huls. Currently, Willy the appropriate passer in the forth Emans was pigeons.

So dominate the children, grandchildren, and great-grandson of the “KABIR 51” now, not only the performance of the own beat but the pigeon sport of throughout the region.

Here are some of the current exceptional pigeons:

Here we find a blow which has today reached its zenith of his breeding career and with the winning of 8 National Championship KBDB old, Olympic pigeon Nitra, 2 national AS pigeon allround in previous years and currently in 2014 with no less than 36 x 1st prize and in 2015 with “only” 26 x 1 price has paved the way for more national success. Ladder of success to the top…Open.

The winner of JARNAC flight against 4629 old birds and also the fastest of all launched 10.163 pigeons sitting to Champion Willy Steenaerts in Lummen. His female "Cara" 5096194 / 2010 flew a flight speed of 1554,79 m / min at a distance of 710 km This top female has winner blood in her veins, as easily in the descent is to read. "Good come from the good guys", so the breeding currency by Willy. As he provinzial from Orléans won he knew the 1st prize but is still not what a sire would be this bird. So also "Cara" is already a great-granddaughter of "The Orléans" 094/98.

When Willy Steenaerts a blow about by 9 meters for the youngsters and the racing hens available and another blow of 6 meters for the travel birds here. The breeding of pigeons sit on the 9 meter attic over the garage. Here 20 breeding pairs of which quite a few really deserve their name due to the success of their offspring hatch. It is supplied mainly by Willy. Through his work as a postman, he must already out of the House at 3:30. At 12:00 noon, he is back at home and takes care of the pigeons. So all normal in the home of Steenaerts.
From this base of the best middle distance pigeons of Belgium, a pigeon colony was bred, which produces first prizes as. In recent years, regularly provincial and national top placements could be secured.

Preparation for the season

In early December the breeders are mated and the racers between Christmas and new year. The best widowers birds get a "special" female its Eier be laid first. Then, the birds get their widower females. Supplied is for Willy Steenaerts depending on the time of year. If necessary, the pigeons get daily a few seeds and Brewers Yeast with garlic oil, tea, Apple Cider vinegar, and peanuts. Depending on the quality of the excrement, the veterinarian is visited and with demand. RAF Herbots to the page here.
Beginning of March the racers will be mated again. From then on, the pigeons are also trained. Put the females they are privately trained. Private training of the birds of travel begins when young are hatched. The boys are great, they go to widower.

Beats

The racers – Birds and females – sitting side by side. The females sit in aviaries and the birds in their half-open cells. They sit so the week and only after the flights, both partners in the widower sitting.
The females fly each week on the medium-haul and the males generally every 14 days. At very slight gradients of flight, the birds are played weekly.

Motivation old birds

If you play the racers on the medium-haul birds and females for half an hour before the einkorben get together. After the race, the pigeons stay together depending on the flight until the evening.
After the provincial flight from Orléans, the pigeons are mated and be played even until the end of August by nest.

A typical race result by Willy Steenaerts in the year 2014 – the first 7 3400 pigeons.

Daily training

"Since I am at half 4 in the morning to work (Note: Willy is postman) go out of the House, the pigeons are not supplied in the morning." They know that get them lunch and evening their feed and also the females know exactly that, as soon as I am of the work there, they get free flight. Then the young pigeons are and from about 16: 00, the widower's birds come out. These fly 1, 5 h, even though they fly only once per day", tells Willy Steenaerts.

Willy Steenaerts travels to the Association Witpen in Lummen. Willy begins the season with 30 widowers and 15 travel females. The 15 females are paired with travel birds. The birds will be played on the medium-haul and 15 females only in the short race. A special feature: the medium-haul flights on Saturday and the short-haul flights are on Sunday. This requires a special skill of the breeder. So the birds and female stay together on Saturday a few hours after the return of the birds of the medium-haul flight and females then of the evening be basked. Sunday, then come the females from the short-haul flight home and remain only about 30 minutes in the birds. This is repeated from week to week. This system works well, as among other things the example of the "DE PROVINCIAL" proves of the 1st provincial strategies against 4.676 pigeons on Saturday flew and his female one day later won the 2nd Prize 1,000 pigeons from Reims.

Feeding and medicine

Here are the blends of Beyers fed. The racers get the first 2 days. 1/2 Super diet and 1/2 sports widower. On the 3rd day 1/4 Super diet and ¾ sports mixture. Then they get 100% Sport mix. Every day are seeds and hemp fed to complement. There are also several times during the week Cell oxygen Optimix herbots about the feed. Also by Herbots There are Sedochol and Brewer's yeast. On their return from the race, electro Forte available in drinking water. Also Probac from Dr Brockamp will be given 1 times a week.

The medical responsibility lies in the hands of RAF Herbots. Its recommendations will be followed. Two days of Ronidazole or 1/4 Flagyl is administered once a month. Airway diseases there Orni-mix, but only if really necessary.
Against paratyphoid was gekurt per year. In recent years, with for 10 days and also vaccinated. This is also when the first round of the youngsters. It has proven itself.

We are sure that Willy Steenaerts also in the coming years, the pigeon game in Limburg and Belgium with DOM inert.
