The De Meyers are our new sensational family of sprinters that we've introduced with great success in recent years. The birds compromise of a combination of DE MEYER & SON, GERT HEYLEN, and CYRIEL LAMBRECHTS - three fanciers who are all great friends with one another and regularly exchange pigeons with each other.
Through our friendship with Kevin Head we have been able to obtain some super pigeons that are more than proving their worth. At our lofts we own an extensive team of these lightning fast sprinters, and we've high hopes for them in the future

Kev's Boy now retired to Stock in 2009
** Update 29th June 2010 **
So impressed have we been with the impact of the De Meyers, both at our own lofts and elsewhere of the impact that they have had at the top of the Results sheet in the big Wolverhampton Fed, that earlier this year we introduced another 10 youngsters direct from the lofts of De Meyer himself. These are for our own breeding programme and they are developing into stunning specimens.
We are now in a position to be able to offer to the Fancy a small but very select number of youngsters direct out of these direct De Meyers for racing in 2011. If you are interested, please call us on 01902-633257 to discuss your requirements. Again, only fine healthy youngsters that satisfy us will ever be sent out.
** 15/09/10. Kev's Boy is now Sire of 1st Club and 1st Section for us in the Wolves Fed. **
