Commenting on the February catalogue Goffs Chief Executive, Henry Beeby said:
“The Goffs February Sale has established itself as ‘cannot miss’ event for so many as it offers unbeatable variety and quality with a diverse catalogue from both codes. The full day of weanlings is always a rich source of pinhooking success and is backed up by our unique Customer Loyalty Scheme that results in no vendor commission when the weanling is reoffered at a Goffs or DBS yearling sale. The second day is dominated by another strong selection of breedingstock with attractive coverings to which we expect to welcome another international buying bench”
The sale begins on Wednesday 11th February at 11am and continues at 10am on Thursday 12th February.
