Meuleman Based Van Elsacker Racing Pigeons



The advance of the Meuleman Based Van Elsacker Racing Pigeons main character started in the early eighties, after a golden purchase of a late youngster at René Michielsen. The pigeon "De Wezel" (B81-6603197) Serge took home, a Meulemans pigeon that developed as a true champion breeder.

Almost every son he bred was a first prize winner but one of them was even a better breeder than al his brothers and his very own sire. Paired to "Blauwke Stoces" (B78-6226371) in 1984, “De Wezel” produced "Den 23" (B84-6336723), the absolute number 1 father of the loft of the Meuleman Based Van Elsacker Racing Pigeons-colony. Amongst his direct children were a/o six (!) Ace Pigeons in the Antwerpen Union, two Olympiad pigeons and the 1st National acebird BDS in 1988. Especially paired to "Het Bourgeske"(B84-6336708), a Meulemans pigeon too, “Den 23" bred excellent offspring.

But not only "Den 23" was pure gold bred from "De Wezel", also "De Derby" was a bull’s eye hit. He won himself a/o 2nd provincial Orleans, 13th National Bourges 13,154 birds, 26th National Bourges 10,163 birds, etc. He became sire to "Montauban", who proved that Serge’s pigeons were also capable of racing supreme in long distance. He became 1st Acebird overnight racing in the Antwerpen Union!

Bringing in pigeons of Willy van Berendonck and William Geerts the Meulemans based pigeons kept on playing a very important role in building up his own Meuleman Based Van Elsacker Racing Pigeons stock … the Meulemans pigeons together with the Stoces pigeons through Maurits Bonte.

In 1993 "Castor" was born. His sire won 1st provincial Brive (713 km) and was paired at the time to a daughter of "Den 23". “Castor” was crowned 1st Acebird middle distance in the Antwerpen Union and he became one of the very best breeders. Probably his best son was "De Extra", winner of 7x 1st with amongst that 1st provincial and Interprovincial Vierzon. But just like all his family, "De Extra" proved not only to be a top gun in the air, but also a topper in breeding. He sired a/o "Indiana Jones" (B99-6252266), 1st acebird Antwerpen Union, 3rd National Acebird "De Reisduif" and 8th National Acebird KBDB!

In 1995 Serge Van Van Elsacker went to the entire clearance sale of Alfons Nijs from Arendonk. He took home two top pigeons, "De Jonge Witstaartstier" and "Geschifte Hofkens". Both cockbirds were paired to daughters of the Olympiad pigeon (so again descendants of "Den 23") and they became father and grandfather to a/o the 1st acebird in Southern Antwerpen Combine 1997, 2nd acebird Antwerpen Union yearlings 1998, 3rd acebird Hoogstraten 2000, 1st acebird Hoogstraten 2001, 4th acebird Southern Antwerpen Combine 1997, 1st National Bourges Zone, 2nd National Bourges 11,689 b., 5th acebird Union west 2004, etc.

Another topper is "De Geschifte" (NL97-6515179), he won many different 1st prizes and at an extra distance of almost 100 km he won 3rd National at an extreme heavy Bourges against 15,300 b. As a breeder too he was of seldom class. At least fifteen 1st prizes were won by children and grandchildren to him, the 4th National Bourges winner from 14,207 b. in 2004 is a descendant to this topper.

"De Hermelijn" (NL98-6156071), again a grandson to the legendary B84-6336723, is a topper. In 2001 he became 8th National Acebird middle distance KBDB and sire to a/o the 1st Acebird middle distance in Southern Antwerpen Combine ad 4th acebird middle distance 2001 HAFO Hoogstraten.

Of Heinz Brune & Son from Germany Serge became some Louis Deleus-pigeons. These pigeons were extremely well aware of their task (winning top positions) and that is why Serge himself went to Boortmeerbeek to purchase twenty direct ones at Deleus. Descendants of these pigeons have now won 1st provincial Chateauroux 2002 and 1st provincial Chateauroux 2003 (7 minutes lead!).
