3rd March 2011
Yesterday at Oaklands saw the conclusion of Session 1 of the 2011 Inglis Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale. Whilst yesterday was light on for the Blue Gum team, the previous week has been extremely busy with inspections, client visits and of course the sale itself. On paper our draft looked to be strong and a big congratulations to Tracey Paterson and her wonderful yearling team who have put in the hard yards over the past two months making sure our draft was ready for the sale ring and the results below speak for themselves.
