Reference Sires

Banquet Jupiter J263

We purchased Jupiter J263 at the Banquet 2015 Autumn sale for $40000. We considered him a standout for his head, depth, hindquarter and top line. He has excellent feet and an exceptionally quiet temperament. His EMA of 6.5 was outstanding and was at the time Banquet’s highest EMA scan. Jupiter’s extended pedigree also appealed us as it demonstrates some legendary NZ sires including Hingaia 469. Jupiter has left a line of beautiful females.
