(This is a sale that I meant to report on back in October, but I filed everything so well that I just finally found it.)

The Jud Little Ranch Production Sale was held on September 26th, 2009, at the ranch in Springer, Oklahoma. A barrel racers delight, they offered the blood of some of the finest barrel racing sires like Sun Frost, Bully Bullion, Dash For Cash, Corona Cartel, Frenchmans Guy, Coup De Kas (TB), Streakin Six, and others. For someone looking for a barrel prospect, this was the place to be.

High seller of the sale was KR Road Runner, a 2006 sorrel mare, who brought $19,000. She is by Dash Ta Fame SI 113, a son of First Down Dash, one of the hottest barrel sires in the nation and also one of the leading sires of race horses. Her dam is Fly With Eagles, by Fiesta In The Sky SI 99 who won $239,579 and is the sire of 8 barrel racing money earners totaling $29,176 in winnings. She is in barrel training with Lyndee Stairs, who states that she is one of the nicest 3-year-olds that she has ever ridden.

Forty-five horses were sent through the sale ring, with 43 of them selling. They totaled $265,650, with an average price of $6178 and a sales percentage of 96%. The Top 5 sellers totaled $75,400, for an average of $15,080.

Jamison Herefords & Quarter Horses 6th Annual Quarter Horse Sale

Thursday, October 1, Jamison Herefords & Quarter Horses held their 6th annual Quarter Horse Sale at the ranch in Quinter, Kansas. The 110 horses offered consisted of 50 geldings (from started to finished, 3 to 15 years old), 19 saddle mares (many broodmare quality prospects), 1 performance stallion prospect (a well started 2 year old), and 40 2009 foals (fancy stud, filly, and gelding prospects).

The performance stallion prospect, JA Tuckerwood Frost, was the high seller. By PC Frost Em Peppy, a son of Sun Frost, out of JA Lady Tuckerwood, the 2007 bay roan brought $10,000. Besides being good looking and athletic, he is intensely linebred, going back to Driftwood 10 times.

Since 2 horses tied for 3rd highest seller and 4th highest seller, I’m going to report the average for the top 6 high selling horses. These horses brought an average price of $8,917.

Of the 110 listed, 106 sold for an average price of $2,737. The sale percentage was 96%, proving that although the horse market has taken a beating during the recession, it is far from being dead.

Fulton Performance Horse & Production Sale

Fulton Ranch, home of the AAA stallion A Streak Of Fling, held their performance horse and production sale August 29th at the Cherry County Fairgrounds in Valentine, Nebraska. Sixty-eight select horses from their breeding program and guest consignors were offered for sale. Known for arena and ranch horses, the Fulton’s Streak Of Fling offspring were eligible for 7 different futurities. The guest consignors’ horses were also chosen for performance and athletic ability, carrying such bloodlines as Peppy San Badger, Grays Starlight, Smart Little Lena, and Sun Frost. Barrel racers, ropers, rodeo cowboys, ranchers and just plain riders could all find something to suit them.

Needless to say, the high selling horse was an extraordinary mix of athletic bloodlines. A son of A Streak Of Fling, French Streaktovegas, a 2007 bay roan stallion, topped the sale at $31,000. Out of the proven barrel mare PC Frenchmans Flirt, a full sister to the famous Frenchmans Guy, this classy stallion prospect had the talent and eye appeal to go into the performance arena and then become an exceptional sire.

Usually I give the average of the top 5 selling horses, but because of the fact that 3 horses sold for the same price, I’m using the top 6. These 6 horses totaled $123,500 for an average sale price of $20,583.

With 3 horses out and 9 no-sales out of 68 listed, 56 horses were sold for an average of $8,947. The percentage of horses sold was 82%, a good sign of a successful sale and an interested market.
