Results of 2014
The results of 2014 speak for themselves, as Ulrich continues to achieve brilliant results at the highest level, dominating his opponents. The motto of team Lemmens is “one team, one heart”. Jef and his son Ulrich have clearly reaped the benefits from this approach, which is described in detail in some of our previous PIPA reports. Click here for our report of March 2014 and our report from March 2013.
Still, this loft has seen a number of changes in 2014, the reason being that it takes more effort to maintain your position as a top level fancier than to actually make it to the top. This means Ulrich is always looking for ways to improve and to professionalize. This season they started working together with feed supplier Beyers, which provide advice and information about when their pigeons should be given which type of feed.
An endless list of victories of 2014 is available under the following link, if you have some time to spare. Click here for the results of the Lemmens Pigeons in 2014.
