“39” who flew 15.34 hours to win 2 nd Provincial Thurso 850 km on his first ever race North. The cocks are feed add-lib twice a day and the hens once a day. I work so I have to leave every morning at 7.30am, its always a risk that I cannot get my pigeons in on time, esp when they exercise really well however what we also noticed on this feeding system is that once the traps were open the birds would quickly enter the loft which we put down to the liking of the Peanuts in the KOOPMAN ALL-in-ONE mixture. We noticed a massive uplift in the birds exercise around the loft and the birds would really fly with zest. Straight away we spotted some real differences in the pigeons, soft plumage and plump muscles with a nice pink tone and the birds were really active. In 2019 we combined PREMIUM VERKERK SPORT and PREMIUM KOOPMAN ALL-in-ONE as our main racing mixture. What I also took into account was that Gerard Koopman and Gerard & Bas Verkerk are both famed for their performances on very heavy flights and this suited the problems we encountered racing the English Channel. It was easy for me I wanted to fly a middle distance pigeon like Gerad & Bas Verkerk and a distance pigeon like Gerard Koopman. I spent some time studying the various mixtures that BEYERS offered, one thing I really liked was that some mixtures were linked to certain fanciers and there was lots of information and videos (You-tube) explaining various methods. Whilst it’s true to say that not all my pigeons compete all the way through to the final race, I do house my middle and long distance pigeons together and I feed them on the same system. Our race program starts at 100km and finishes at 960 km’s. I often hear the term feed to win, however in modern times I believe the fancier also has to have an eye on feed to allow a pigeon to come home, even when it makes a mistake. In good weather, this is ok but weather patterns and winds are often unpredictable so it is often the case that pigeons have to fly longer hours to get home.

In the UK we have quite varied racing, the majority of the races are from France which means the pigeons have to fly the Channel. Part of my breeding stock is from Albert Derwa who had always talked of the quality of BEYERS so for me it was an exciting prospect. In 2018 I met Dick De Leeuw at the “Gouden Duif “ in Antwerp and after a few beers in fact many beers he suggested I tried some of the BEYERS range of corns. My name is Stuart Wilcox from Bristol in the UK and I am a lifelong pigeon fancier.
