I have a son of the ‘772 winner of 15 x 1st. before being sold to Germany for a large amount. I also have a son & a daughter
of “THE GOOD COCK” winner of 12 x 1st. This cock was sold to Mike Ganus USA. These birds bred winners in every
loft they have entered.

At the age of 87 years, known as the Keeper of the Hofkens, has won himself 3 Olympian Gold Medals.These are the Base
Strain for many top lofts worldwide and are becoming more and more popular by demand. Frans himself still manages on
average 20 x 1st prizes every year but more importantly people such as Mike Ganus (GFL x syndicate lofts) are regular
purchasers of Frans Verheyen.Verheyen bloodlines figure in many of the top lofts pedigrees.
World famous AD Schaerlaeckens states in his book that one of his best birds came from Verheyen and these bloodlines
are still in his loft today.
My Verheyens are now responsible for Fed winners and Y/B of year 2010.

his most productive stock birds, the proven ones were then selected by myself for my stock loft.The next person to actually
race direct Meldert birds was Mark Evans (Heart of England Auctions). He raced a son of Witten 93 00BELGE2306682,
who won 6 x 1st, 5 x 2nd, 4 x 3rd, an outstanding racer and now top producer. Mark also raced a Blue Pied hen
