Winbak Farm is excited to announce that it will be joining the London Classic Yearling Sale in 2023.
“Winbak Farm is proud to be a part of the 2023 London Classic Yearling Sale and look forward to working with Greg Blanchard and his team,” said Joe Thomson, Winbak Farm Owner. “We have decided to reunite with the London Yearling Sale since Covid protocols are lessened and the sale is back live at the Western Fair agriplex, which is a wonderful venue.”
The London Classic Yearling Sale will be held on October 17th and 18th.
“We are pleased to welcome the Winbak Farm consignment back to London this Fall,” said Greg Blanchard, London Classic Yearling Sale Manager. “After a successful first year, we are excited to be able to grow our sale offerings and have all of the top breeders and consignors under one roof for year two.”
The Ontario Select Yearling Sale will not resume this year.
“Winbak Farm started the Ontario Select Yearling Sale in 2020 to allow bidders to still see the yearlings and have as much of a normal sales experience as we could with the Covid restrictions in place,” said Pat Woods, Winbak Farm of Canada Manager. “Now that the London Yearling Sale is back in person and had such a successful season in 2022, we are excited to join.”
The Ontario Select Yearling Sale was held at Winbak Farm of Canada and held for 3 consecutive years (2020, 2021 and 2022).
“We would like to thank the breeders and yearling buyers who supported us having the Ontario Select Yearling Sale at Winbak Farm Of Canada,” said Woods. “We wish them continued success and hope to see them at the London Yearling Sale in 2023.”
