| Herbots Bros. - Winning isn’t everything….the desire to win is!!! Therefore, each year the Herbots team seek out those top pigeons who can give their breeding loft a serious “boost”. All are in search for that one white, blackbird who hasn’t just delivered the amazing performances, but will also astonish everyone with its beauty. It is with pride that the Herbots can report success in making some top additions. Pigeons like “New Belgium Pride” 1st Nat. Ace pigeon Long Distance KBDB 2015, “King of Sprint” 1st Nat. Ace pigeon KBDB Sprint Yearling 2015, “Fenomenale Chateauroux” 1st Nat. Chateauroux and fastest of 29,746b, and “Barcelona Dream” 2nd Nat. Barcelona 2015 against 7,791b. Couple that with the likes of “Yvan”, Herbot’s top breeder, 1st Nat Ace pigeon KBDB ½ Fond 2009, and one can say they are loaded with superior genetics in their breeding lofts for their customers and for our 2016 Snowfest sale. |
Kobe & Kato Herbots - Velm, Belgium. Probably one of the best young bird race teams the last 3 years in whole Belgium. - Kobe & Kato … what started a few years ago as an educational experience, a useful hobby, grew out, in only a short period of time, to a top colony. A lot of eyes turned in the direction of Velm … Kobe & Kato, the children of veterinarian Raf Herbots, started to race with pigeons. People talked and laughed about it … but who knew Kobe, knew that he had the “pigeon fancier blood” … a gift, an inherited quality? We often saw him pass at the hiving table, accompanied by his grandfather Filip. But … would they be able to succeed in Velm, their home town?
It turned out to be a great challenge, but with class, knowledge, quality and the winner’s mentality this just had to be a success! On short time, Raf took control and made sure that they had a “golden team”, the lines were drawn, the team operated under his direction and together with son Kobe and good friend Jef Reynaerts the team caused fireworks the last few years.
