Two of them being from Bloemfontein with a check white flight hen ZMFB 06 – 21592 and the Kimberley with a check hen ZAFV07 – 25518. When asked what the secret of their success was, they answered, hard work, good pigeons and a sound management program. According to Sammy Meyer their success started when they purchased their De Zutter birds on an auction held in 2006. This family has performed purebred and on the cross and form the nuclease of their breeding program. When asked what their goal for 2009 is, they were in agreement that they would like to improve on their positions during board races but also to achieve the status of club champion.

Well done guys and may your hard work be rewarded in 2009.
