That Willem Deprez regularly goes through with the coarse brush is something we no longer need to prove. In recent weeks, the young pigeon team also showed that the form was good, as evidenced by the high price percentages and many top pigeons, but a true champion was still missing for the time being. Good pigeons usually do not keep a good fancier waiting! A team of 30 youngsters was deployed on the national flight from Argenton, resulting in a spectacular achievement at the Deprez-Bataille household, as not only was the zonal palm won, but it also became an impressive zonal series against 1487 young pigeons: 1, 11, 18, 26, 27, 34, 61, 121, 126... or as much as 9/30 at least per ten! The same number was classified similarly provincially in West Flanders per ten, with against 1740 pigeons: 2, 13, 16, 24, 25, 32, 54, 107, 111, and so forth.
The freshly minted zonal winner "Argento" was bred by Gert Van Limbergen from Lede. The father is a full brother of "Adriaan" 9th Provincial Asduif small middle distance in 2019. The mother of "Argento" is closely related to the absolute top breeder "RAMBO" at Van Limbergen, specifically from the pairing of a full brother of Rambo with the nest sister of Rambo.
“It is astonishing how many of the best pigeons are intertwined with these two bloodlines, both within my own loft and beyond. They are generally reliable pigeons that can fly at the front from 100 to 700 km and this across several generations! It gives me immense pleasure to be the supplier of this champion. Moreover, all other top pigeons in Argenton are also products from my breeding loft. Willem is a very driven fancier who definitely gets everything out of the pigeons, that much is clear!” said Gert Van Limbergen.
