Some timely PR from Ken McCaffrey at McCaffrey's Australian Livestock Marketing in Rockhampton today.

Rockhampton is home to the Capricorn Yearling Sale, a sale that in 22 years, has yet to break a $10,000 average yet boasts an impressive track record. In the past 12 months sale graduates have won on 37 metropolitan, provincial & country racetracks around Australia & also in NZ.

McCaffrey commented: "It's a sale which certainly punches above its weight with metropolitan success for graduates in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth & Darwin over the years. We are attracting a growing number of astute buyers every year, who recognise exceptional value in yearlings."

The 2005 sale offers 72 lots from breeders in central & southern Queensland. Sires of yearlings include Iglesia, Easy Rocking, Dodge, Anglia, Telesto, Switch In Time, Celestial Dancer, Western Red, Dane Supreme, Chariot, Nediym, Legal Opinion, Speeding Fine, Forever Regal, Oarsman, Mapperley's Star, Forgotten Hero, Al Jaasi, Kaaptive Edition, Immovable Option, Knowledge, Armidale, Great Dane, Mr Innocent & Irish Royal.

The Capricorn Yearling Sales will be held on 3 April 2005 at Rockhampton Showgrounds, QLD.
