Our annual Forrester Sire Sale is on Friday 11th December at Peel Forest Estate. Viewing from 12pm, auction at 1pm.
This year’s line-up is looking sharp. Forresters are bred for venison first, with the maternal traits built on top: hinds that conceive early, rear strong fawns and stay sound on hill country.
That combination makes the Forrester a sire that does both jobs. If running separate terminal and maternal sires isn’t practical on your place, one Forrester can go over the whole herd. Keep the best daughters as replacements. The rest are bred to grow, so they finish well for the works.
New this year, every lot carries its Red Maternal Index. It rolls growth, reproduction and meat into one dollar figure per fawn born, so you can compare sires at a glance. The catalogue explains how to read it.
Can’t make it on the day? You can bid online through bidr.
The catalogue will be out soon, with full figures for every lot. For a catalogue or a paddock inspection, contact mark@pfe.nz. Directions are in the catalogue.
We look forward to seeing you.
