Remember where you were today, this has been a record breaking day with a 3yo mare selling for $550,000 and top price stallion of the sale $100,000.
Auctioneer Scott Cooper said that the heat was on from the start of the day. “From word go it was on today. We just knew something special was going to happen. There has been a lot of hype around today and it lived up to expectations.”
“It’s a sign of the economy and the livestock industry flow on, but Nutrien Equine is it’s own machine; it’s a proven concept that is just going strength to strength”
At the end of day four we have sold 514 of 562 lots with a 91.46% clearance rate. Gross has well past the 2021 record to have $13,696,500 gross and an amazing $26,646.89 average.
The $550,000 mare has broken all Australasian records for a performance horse, Lot 497 BAD IN BLACK. An Australian Quarter Horse, sold by local Holly Clayden from Loomberah Lodge Performance Horses to Willinga Park from Bawley Point.
