National Online Breeding Stock Sale on Gavelhouse Plus this July
The popular National Online Breeding Stock Sale is due to take place again on Gavelhouse Plus this July with dates now confirmed for the stand-alone breeding sale.
Breeders will have the opportunity to offer quality broodmares as well as stallion shares and nominations at a key time ahead of the breeding season.
Over the past three years the Sale-toppers have included Yearn, Asama Blue, Chanel’s Choice and Dee and Gee who fetched $195,000, $126,000 $115,000 and $105,000 respectively.
The Sale has been a great source of investment potential, with future progeny going on to sell well at Karaka.
Paris (NZ) (More Than Ready), who was offered at the 2024 edition of the Breeding Stock Sale in foal to Sword of State, failed to meet her $7,000 reserve, yet the resultant foal went on to sell at Karaka recently for $90,000.
"This Sale is the perfect opportunity for breeders to assess their portfolio and use a proven platform to buy and sell quality mares," commented NZB Bloodstock Sales Manager Kane Jones.
"Further to that, stallion shares and nominations will be on offer, at an ideal time ahead of the breeding season."
