Ogata Autumn Harvest & 3rd Annual Ogata Auction 2014
Hello all,
Well, that's another successful buying trip to the Ogata Koi Farm completed. In one week, we selected over 170 high quality Nisai and Sansai, sizes ranging from 45 - 69cm. You can see our selections in 'quick shot' format on our photo gallery. We will post individual photos and videos once the Koi arrive into the UK along with pricing details. Prices will range from £400 - £1500 for the Nisai.To see other photos from the trip and the Ogata Auction, please visit our photo gallery.
Whilst on the trip to the farm, we were able to preview the ponds containing next year's tosai. There are currently tens of thousands of baby koi growing strong at the farm and will be ready for selection early next year and they look excellent. Many varieties will be available so keep an eye out for our newsletters early next year. View the video of the tosai pondsThere was fierce competition from all over the world at the 3rd Annual Ogata Auction but James successfully bid on three Koi in the Ogata 3rd Auction. We will be bringing back a monster 88cm Female 6 year old Mukashi Ogon, 44cm Female 2 year old Kikokuryu and 47cm Female 2 year old Koromo. We will also be bringing back to Koi Logic a 79cm Chagoi which James has been growing on for 2 years in the mud ponds. It is a stunning example of a Chagoi.
All Koi will be in the UK next week. They do need a little settling in time but they will be available to view from 24 November in the main Koi Logic ponds. All welcome to pop in and see them!
