NZ Herefords Seed Stock Sale |
Two classes – max 24 lots |
For 2021 there will be no grazing unit or bulls on site. All bulls will be sold via a livestream hybrid Helmsman Auction which means that remote bids can be placed by calling bidr or bids can be placed on site at Orlando, Palmerston North via the auctioneer.
NZ Herefords Seed Stock Sale Classes Capped at 24 lots 16/8 unless one class not fully subscribed
Class 1 Datamars: 16 lots of 2-year-old bulls from NZ Hereford Studs that hold 2-year old sales are invited to nominate a bull catalogued in the top 6 of their on-farm sale catalogue.

Class 2 Honda: 8 lots of 2-year-old bulls open to NZ Hereford studs that hold yearling or paddock sales. This nomination, with the agreement from their seedstock agent, must display superior genetic ability.
Any bull not sold remains in the vendor’s sale catalogue and is available at the vendor’s sale, or for class 2 remain at vendor’s property.
Entry Criteria
All bulls must be fit for stud transfer, in line with NZ Hereford rules and regulations, by having a minimum 50K SNP DNA profile, correct SNP sire verification (recommended to have dam verification too) and be clear of all known genetic defects. Additionally, bulls entered in the sale must be poll gene tested. All of these tests are included as part of the NZ Hereford Standard Bundle available through PBB/Neogen.

If the sale is oversubscribed, preference will be given to bulls that are above breed average for the Hereford Prime Index.
