Foetie is starting to make a name for himself in one loft racing. His loft is based on the pigeons of the famous Butch Einkamerer and are mainly Hooymans, Houben and Clausing lines. In 2020 Foetie won 1st main race 595km at Central Provincial Lofts with “ASHLEY” (ZA NB 19 2040). It was a very tough race with a winning velocity of 924mpm.
This year Foetie is the owner of the 1st Ace Bird at Winners Flight Lofts with “BRAD” ZA NB 20 1064. His father is HUDSON (Hooymans x Clausing) and his mother is CHARLOTTE (Houben x Clausing). Both bred by Butch Einkamerer.
In 2020 Foetie bought youngsters for stock from Bertus to cross with his pigeons. All of them were from the BAKLEIGAT BLIKSEM and GOLDEN EYE lines.
Foetie had two pigeons in the winning pack in the main race at the Cradock Community Lofts from Pienaarsriver 820km. They were clocked 7 and 15 seconds after the winner and were 9th & 16th. Both of them were crosses of his Einkamerer pigeons and the Vandenabeele lines of Bertus.
