Late Josef Dumoulin showing his winning cockerel after a rooster crowing contest in Mesch, the most southern village of the Netherlands. During the rooster crowing contest - Mesch style - the rooster owners must guess how many times their cockerel will crow within 30 minutes. The rooster that comes closest wins, but does he surpass the guessed number of crows, even by one crow, he loses out. Photo Paul Smit.
