Had a nice message from Stuart Fawcett and Paul Gregg informing us of a top performance by the legend Ron Williamson winning 3rd Open NIPA Fermoy against a staggering 16,693 birds.

Six years ago Stuart and Tracy Fawcett obtained a direct late bred daughter of Rik Hermans super hen Ranomi. The following season Stuart and I arranged a special pairing of our top breeding cock Hannibal with his hen. The result was four youngsters. We retained one for our own breeding lofts (The smallest and latest one that we thought was maybe too small and wouldn’t make it). The young hen matured into a real beauty and we named her ‘Bontje 191’ and she has bred some outstanding offspring straight away. For example *2nd Provincial Oudenaarde 8,027 birds (1st Fed.1,041 b, 2nd Combine 2,958 b) *4th Combine Quivrain 3,627 birds (1st Club 349 b , 2nd Fed 1,235 b) *6th Combine Asse Zellik 3,098 birds (6th Fed.1,171 b) *13th Fed. Creil 1,759 birds (3rd Club 135 b) * 75th National NPO Peronne 12,211 birds (2nd Club 278 b , 11th  Section 2,302b).

We then offered Stuart Fawcett his pick of the others and after much deliberation he selected a young cock.

This young cock he loaned to his very good friends Gregg Brothers and McCandless the famous Northern Ireland fanciers and they coupled it to a grand daughter of ‘De Leeuw’ of Marcel Wouters and gifted their friend Ron Williamson a youngster from the couple. The result was 3rd Open NIPA Fermoy 16,693 birds.

Ron had a sparrowhawk attack during the week that caused nervousness in the birds and he had a bit of a job dropping the pigeon.  Pity really as Paul and Stephen had bred the dams of the precious two weeks NIPA winners and the Hat Trick would have been nice.

It should also be noted that the daughter of Ranomi of Stuart and Tracy has also become a quite extraordinary breeder demonstrating once again that top winning genes crossed with other top winning genes will inevitably produce other top winners!
