If you have a paddock and some patience, then NZB’s National Weanling Sale has the promise. ✅
140 weanlings are set to go through the Karaka sales ring on Thursday 25 June, with proven farms presenting genuine commercial opportunities.
The range and depth of sire power will appeal for racetrack or pinhooking prospects, with Karaka Millions Series eligibility an added bonus.
