FUTURITY
YEARLINGS DOMINATE TOP
SELLERS
The 2009 Futurity
yearlings were very
impressive at the
auction block.
This year at
Sand Creek Sale a new
yellow TWHBEA Futurity
hip tag was put in place
to let buyers know which
colts and fillies were
nominated.
This proved to
be very productive and
exciting!
Of the top ten
yearlings sold during
the 2009 Yearling
Festival, three out of
the top four were
Futurity nominated.
Their average
sales price was $11,700
versus an average sales
price of $11,000.
The fact that
these yearlings were
Futurity nominated added
on average an additional
$700 in their sellers’
pockets compared to
yearlings that were not
nominated.
This speaks
volumes regarding the
value of nominating your
mare and foal.
With the implementation
of the true Futurity,
these values will do
nothing but increase. To
further take advantage
of the nomination
process, breeders are
encouraged to consider
nominating their
weanlings for a one-time
$150 fee.
