NZB Broodmare Sale Catalogues Out Now

4 July 2006

Catalogues for New Zealand Bloodstock's National Broodmare Sale, scheduled for 6 & 7 August at Karaka, are now available.

The Sale will feature a total of 365 catalogued lots including 289 broodmares, 15 yearlings, 17 two-year-olds, 23 racehorses, 15 untried horses and 6 stallion shares. 

This year's National Broodmare Sale has moved to its new August date to take advantage of New Zealand's revised depreciation regime which comes into effect on 1 August.  The change to the law will see a decrease in the maximum write-down period for broodmares from 8 years to 5 years (or 6 years for those few that commence breeding at age 2). Broodmares that commence breeding at age 8 and over will be written-off in full in the first year of breeding.

To request a catalogue for the New Zealand Bloodstock National Broodmare & Mixed Bloodstock Sale, please email reception@nzb.co.nz, or call Haylie Martin on +64 9 2980055. The catalogue can also be viewed online at http://www.nzb.co.nz/.
