It goes without saying that Benny Steveninck from Hamme is having another brilliant season. Anyone who watches the longer middle distance competition and the long distance competition to some extent will have noticed the numerous top results from Benny’s racing birds in the club and at provincial and national level.
Last weekend he put the icing on the cake in an already highly successful season, winning a provincial first prize from Argenton against 1,350 old birds. The provincial winner was also the fastest of all 3,584 pigeons from Argenton in East Flanders.
Chipo dynasty gives golden generations
It is no secret that top breeder Chipo is arguably one of the best breeding birds our country has ever seen, and his invaluable bloodline has become an integral part of Benny’s pigeon family as well. It resulted in several generations of prize winners that have been able to perform consistently. These pigeons have proven invaluable both at home and in other lofts: stock breeder Chipo has shown his value in countless other lofts both at home and abroad. Meanwhile, 2017 is proving to be another memorable season for the Chipo descendants, having won several top prizes in the longer middle distance and the long distance this year.
