The great Leo Hermans

Anyone been on PIPPA, Leo hermans has called it a day because of Ill health and its the first week and the top pigeon is at 132,000 already, Premier stud being a major bidder and wanting the best pigeons on offer, I wish I had saved my pocket money now.lol

wonder if this is a real cl;earence sale or just a money making venture sean

I would say its real in his videos he has a mask on all the time and makes no bones about the time to quit if it comes, but I do realize that it comes at the right time for him and he knows he can make a lot of money and retire, sadly the hermans/ceusters dynasty didnt last and the leo hermans dynasty was even shorter but carried it on as they are basically hermans ceusters pigeons he has for sale, only without the ceusters. sad day but they will be on the market for all through premier and eijerkamp as I bet he will buy some.

And if there are some that the prices are not too stupid on, I doupt it though, I will have a bid on 1 or 2, as there are a lot of birds forsale.

At the moment the top pigeon is £148,000 Euro's bid is with Dirk Deroose of Belgium

To be honest they will be going for a high cost all 536 of them fingers crossed for the british fanciers if they are able to obtain some of this blood lines

We all know these days it's money, money money type of thing to say. But to me it's crazy stuff. Most will in my view, get their fingers burnt & the sport will be the big looser I'm afraid, the way I see it.

WOULD HE

do yo need to ask that question graham....pmsl

i think you already know the answer

I see in the homing world braspenning doesnt go much on the Leo Hermans auction he thinks it wont be the last we see of him, he sugests money as a motivator??
And bert is a fan of the hermans, he was the reason I bought hermans ceusters in the first place.

has bert lost his memory i was just reading that dose he not recall all the birds 20 years ago he sold at louella most going for well over 200 each i was there so bert you was money mad also at one time we aint all lost por memory

Im a bert fan but I must admit could be sour grapes, he missed the boat as when he sold out there was no internet to japan to inflate the prices, so he might think hes not got the value for his birds he should have in the past.
He was selling on pippa the other day too, truth is years ago he bought janssens and they gave sucess, his results now just arent up to that of Leo hermans.

he also stated no more birds would be sold in the uk not so long ago maybe cus we aint mug enough to pay chink prices

think its sour grapes to be honest hes always going on about it now

a guy i know told me if you shake hands wi Bert count yer fingers after it lol sean

He didn't like it when Louella started selling GChildren of the top racers for reasonable prices.
At first when Louella bought them, GChildren were @£100 - £150 upwards and directs out of best pigeons were rarely sold by Louella so anyone going direct to Bert,well he could get nice prices, demand kept his prices high, but times change. I remember @15 years ago Blackpool Savoy auction and people going mad for them.
Fast forward some years later and Louella are bringing newer families in so Bert's pigeons aren't in fashion, then being sold @£200 for 6 to race, maybe even less. So not many foreign fanciers knocking on his own door waving the cheque book anymore.
Braspenning one of many I suppose, can't always have it their own way. Same might happen to Leo Hermans but not in the near future by look of things.
