Over the next few weeks I will post up a series of blogs looking at some of lots in the Sale of the Stars – New Zealand Yearling Sales 2013 which I believe are of interest from a breeding perspective.

I did this series last year, and my focus then was on yearlings by new damsires – I’ll check on that again, but won’t do the same full analysis of yearling sale damsires as trends take a bit longer to show up than year to year.

I will also look at some other lots and find out more from their breeders/vendors about the reasons behind the matches.

Along the way, I’m happy to have other people’s observations about overall trends at the sales or particular lots, from a breeding point of view.

You can add those as a comment to the blogs, or send direct to me at my bee.raglan@xtra.co.nz email.
