The popular National Online Breeding Stock Sale is due to take place again on Gavelhouse Plus this July with dates now confirmed for the popular 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 (NZ) (Savabeel), Chanel’s Choice (Redoute’s Choice) and Dee and Gee (NZ) (Darci Brahma) who fetched $195,000, $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.
High Tranquility (High Chaparral) was a $30,500 purchase at the 2021 edition of the Breeding Stock Sale, while her Vadamos colt born in 2022 went on to sell for $220,000 at Karaka 2024.
Another mare from that Sale, Pin Up Lae (NZ) (Pins) was sold in foal to Per Incanto for just $15,000. 18 months later, the resulting foal was sold as a yearling at Karaka for $200,000.
“We are pleased to offer this standalone sale to breeders, which has become a popular trading avenue at a key time in the breeding season,” commented NZB Bloodstock Sales Manager Kane Jones.
“It is the perfect opportunity for breeders to assess their portfolio and use a proven platform to buy and sell quality mares.
“We’ve seen some great investment results with the resulting foals, with many of their offspring going on to achieve great returns at Karaka.”
