Vrancken - Berden from Kuringen had a super season 2022

Eric Vrancken lives with his family in the Limburg municipality of Kuringen. In recent years, the tandem Vrancken – Berden has been one of the high flyers in the great interplay of Central Limburg. In 2017 it started with “Het Olympiadeke” 3rd Olympiad pigeon youngsters, 2 years later superstar “Wout” was born that 2nd Olympiad pigeon youngsters Poznan 2019. That same year “White Man” won his 2nd Ace pigeon title in the sprint. In 2018 he became 12th Nat Ace Pigeon Sprint Yearlings KBDB and in 2019 3rd National Ace Pigeon Sprint Old Birds and on top of that 1st World Ace Pigeon FCI Sprint Belgium. A superstar of stature that was then referred to the breeding loft. The year later in 2021 it is completely hit with "Olympic Rico" who won several ace pigeon titles to Kuringen. In detail, this means that “Olympic Rico” became 1st National Ace Pigeon Sprint KBDB through his super season in 2020, afterwards he became 1st Nat Olympiad Pigeon Olympic Hope Cat.F KBDB 2020 and World's Best Ace Pigeon FCI Sprint ( old – yearlings and youngsters together ) 2020 This last title not only counts for Belgium, but also across all countries that participated in this competition. Or the highest of the highest that “Olympic Rico” could win. So he is even stronger than his father and “Rico” ensures the greatest success and he is now in the breeding loft at the Herbots house.

The story doesn't stop here because in 2020 he wins with "Mormelke Marie" the 1st Provincial Ace pigeon middle distance KBDB and this one became 4th National Ace pigeon middle distance KBDB. She is pure inbred to superstar “White Man”. In 2021 it will then be the turn of “Super Marie” who will be 15th National Ace Pigeon sprint youngsters having raced with only a few pigeons.

Now on to the 2022 season, what a season that was?! Eric's young pigeon team took a super start and was there week after week. The loft was in good shape and every week several top prizes were played against a thousand pigeons or more. The best pigeons of the 2022 season again came from the very best breeders at the Vrancken house, or "White Man", "Olympic Wout" and "Olympic Rico", of course not forgotten. The best youngster was of course “Miss White”. This impressive lady flew 16 prizes in 17 races and won 5 x TOP 3, in those 5 times she won 3 x 3rd after 2 loft mates. This top hen actually won 5 clear first prizes, but loft mates decided otherwise. Eric also wanted to give it a try at the further distances, the pigeons can do this and with barely 1 pigeon in the basket his favorite went to Chateauroux. This clapper did not disappoint and won 7th National against 17,081 youngsters over 530km. Pure top class from sprint to heavy middle distance here and elsewhere.

Super breeding line “White Man”

We have been aware for several years that this breeding line is something unique, a strain of pigeons that year after year produce several toppers. “White Man” himself was a direct pigeon from Rene Vervoort and was a real class pigeon, his palmares in 2 years time is one to say to you. After his flying career he was then coupled to “Super Toneke” from Antoon Neven. Eric had bought this hen on his total sale because he had already been successful with the pigeons from Antoon, namely super breeder “Gek” is a direct pigeon from him and is doing fantastic here.
