TARGET

It is very tough to achieve targets in the horse breeding, many things are not in our hand(this is also an advantage we can put the blame on the nature for our failures?????). When I joined the present job i was given a target of 95% pregnancies in october, which is almost impossible(if any one got please let me know), i could get 92% (47 out of 51 mares)at the end of May, but by october we lost two due to resorption and two due to abortion, one mare died of colic. So now it is around 82%. Also when we are offered percentage commissions on the basis of sale, again it is going to be like a lottery, many factors like global economic melt down affects the sale of yearlings. This year in the tattersalls and other sales many good horses were available at affordable prices. The buyers prefer to buy from USA and UK.
