In 30 years of (heavy-)long-distance racing, approximately the same number of victories at provincial, national, or international level!
This achieved with a simple system and from a location that is quite unfavorable, all the way on the edge of Belgian territory.
We can only agree that the quality of the pigeons is paramount here.
A strain that is further selected every year based on performances, beautiful pigeons in hand, and of very good descent.
If Willems doesn't have it, then it’s not good enough!
