A bold move by Jooste and co though, as our export protocols have again stalled since the Cape sale earlier this year where the majority of international bloodstock boffins opted for tours up Table mountain rather than put a hand up at the bidding end of the proceedings. Although strong competiton are the drivers for better service and getting a vertual monopoly to act and increase their game, I don't believe that the industry is quite ready for such a move.I foresee a situation where hand picked consultants will be selecting less than perfect specimens to curry favour with the breeding operations that have a greater vested interest in the bloodstock company.I have also always believed that a super sale in Cape Town around Met day was the way to go to get international interest yet I cannot fathom how the TBA allowed the prized green pages to be ripped from the catalogue and taken over by CRAZIDOR. Sure they will get bigger and better prices, because the man with the big money will be bidding and buying from his own supply chain.
