NEW ARRIVALS

December 2018. Our much awaited two pigeons came out of Melbourne quarantine on Friday 14th, - in excellent condition. Another pair to supplement our existing New Laureaat Batenburg/Jellema family.

The cock bird, 32544, is a grand son of New Laureaat, and a double grand son of 'Silvia' who was 3rd International Barcelona, 2014, behind her loft mate 'Kleine Jade' who was 1st. Both raced by Jelle Jellema, - the longest marker to win a Barcelona, 1250 Km.

The new cock bird 94969 has some unique blood to Australia. His sire is a Son of Zwart Goud - another Jellema bird. Zwart Goud appears in many of Jellema pedigrees, including Klein Jade. He is believed to be partly responsible for the outstanding night flyers success Jellema has had. 94969 dam is daughter of New Laureaat and Kleine Jade.

The cock also is full brother to Southfield Jelle who was 1st UK Agen International, 24,850 birds, for Mark Gilbert. Also nest mate brother to 94969 sold recently on Pipa for 5000 Euro.

NEW ARRIVALS

Well here she is guys, our latest import of 10 days ago for the long distance enthusiasts.

Aptly named ' The Only One', - after her sire, 'The Special One'. Information suggests he may be finished breeding in NL unfortunately.

'The Special One' was 1st International Barcelona, 2015, 19,083 birds, in very hot weather, AND the only bird clocked on the day, - hence his name .

Her dam, none other that a daughter of New Laureaat (1st Int Barcelona 2013) and Kleine Jade (1st Int Barcelona 2014)

Cant get much higher on the tree than that. Here is the pedigree: >>>>

January 20, 2018, our much awaited imports were released from Melbourne quarantine. What seemed like an eternity waiting for these birds for well over 12 months whilst they were locked in UK quarantine and then an extended period of another 32 days in Melbourne, (at additional costs), they finally arrived, - in excellent body condition.

My first two are a son and daughter of New Laureaat, he was 1st INTERNATIONAL Barcelona 2013, - 25,382 birds.

These are the first children of a 1st International Barcelona to come to Australia for over 20 years. Between 1995 and 2013, all winners of Barcelona were immediately sold to Asia, hence no direct children around for all those years, until 2013 when the syndicate of Hugo Batenburg and Pipa bought New Laureaat immediately after the race for 250,000 Euro. The hen of the pair, apart from being a direct daughter on her sires line, is also on dam's line a grand daughter of New Laureaat and a hen named Kleine Jade. She was 1st Int Barcelona the following year 2014, 20,669 birds, 1258 km - the longest marker ever recorded to win Int Barcelona. A young FULL SISTER to our hen sold last Monday on Pipa for 12,000 Euro (about A$18,500).
