The Standardbred Breeders of Ontario Association reports that its 2017 Stallion Breeding Auction was a huge success.
Total bidding was up substantially from the 2016 edition. There was $67,875 in bids on the 2017 breedings offered, up $15,000 from the 2016 auction. The auction site had more than 3,300 views and bids were received from across Canada.
"We would like to thank all the stallion breeding donors, and all the bidders for their generous support," the SBOA stated in a Friday morning release, noting the funds will "further [the organization's] leadership role as an advocate of breeders' priorities and interests with government, regulators and other industry participants."
