BLOOD STOCK
I thoroughbred horses SALE AT TIIENTHAM The farming community is taking a very great interest to-day in the breeding of thoroughbred horses, and many farmer breeders were represented at the recent National Thoroughbred Sales at Trentliam. There were almost 100 individual breeders with entries in the catalogue, a'nd nearly two-thirds of these may be designated as farmer breeders. that is. farmers, who run only one or two mares and are not like the larger stud breeders who own stallions and breed extensively /for the sales. For the second successivc year a farmer breeder alsoi secured the top price, which this year was lOoOgns. The extent to which the National Sales have been developed is indicated by the fact that in a year such as the present the total realisations approximated £30,000. ft was remarked this year that the entries from the smaller breeders were just as well-grown and developed as those from the larger studs. That it is profitable to breed high-class yearlings is indicated by the fact that 20 of the lop yearlings in this year's catalogue averaged 4S7gns. while the whole catalogue averaged ISfJgns.
