Lots 7 and 59 are classic examples of the benefit of the Nutrien catalogue innovation of having weekly updates on their website.
The additional innovation of a QR code on each catalogue page means it is easy for potential purchasers to access the updated details for a particular lot.
Using a mobile phone camera to scan the QR code takes a person straight to the on-line reference to the particular lot being scanned and the updated pedigree and any photos and or video that apply to that lot are instantly available.
The days of a static yearling sale catalogue are gone and if you spot somebody on sale day looking at their phone the odds are they are checking for updates and not texting somebody!
