YEARLING SALES ON AGENDA

We might be only a little more than halfway through the year, but preparations are already under way for next year’s yearling sales.

Yabby Dam Farms will once again be offering yearlings in New Zealand as well as major sales in Australia.

With the Melbourne Nutrien Equine yearling sale brought forward to February from April, we’re in for a massive week.

The Melbourne sale at Oakland’s Junction will be on Sunday, February 14.

This will be immediately followed by New Zealand Bloodstock’s national sales at Karaka in Auckland on Monday, February 15, and Christchurch on Wednesday, February 17.

Nominatuons for all the yearling sales are still to be confirmed.
