Wim Weerink – Wierden
We will talk about his pigeons in detail but not before we introduce you to Wim Weerink himself, a 56 year old fancier, who lives with his wife and children in Wierden, in the eastern part of The Netherlands, the area of many toppers at the extreme long distance. Wim has a company in event catering, which means he provides foods and drinks at festivals, events, company parties, etc.
Wim Weerink from Wierden is a marathon fancier with many top prizes on his palmares. In 2016 he became Marathon Champion in NPO Dpt 9 Oost-Nederland thanks to a steady stream of top results and very early pigeons, but without a first prize. He made up for that in 2017, claiming victory in the very first marathon race of the season from Limoges against 1.269 pigeons (fastest of 3.455 pigeons) – a top result. He got involved in the sport through his grandfather and his nephew Hennie Scholten. His first long distance pigeons came from the loft of Jelle Jellema (who lived in Steggerda at the time), and from Vertelman & Son (Hoogkarspel). Wim has a racing loft of 10 metres wide that accommodates 95 racing birds, and a breeding loft with 15 pairs.
His current pigeon breed is founded on the following bloodlines: direct Jellema pigeons and Jellema pigeons from Jan Morsink and Jan Grootonk. These Jellema pigeons come from the following lines: son ZWART GOUD, son/daughter ORION, inbred ZWART GOUD, full sister EVI, inbred SAFFIER, HAVIOK, and JACKY. In addition, Wim purchased birds directly from Vertelman, Winkens-Itteren, Hein van Gurp, G. Veerman, J. Van Schaijk (Gebroeders Jacobs) and Wout van den Hoek. But for sure the Jelle Jellema pigeons have played a defining role in the Wim Weerink pigeon breed.
Wim Weerink is one of the “big champs” in Oost Nederland and the National sector 3 and will focus more and more on the ZLU flights in the future. Looking at his very good Barcelona results of the past few years his competitors will definately have to fear the strenght of his loft on these flights too!
