At the horse sale today

Rena sold this roan four-year-old for $1400. Not bad, considering she paid $400 for it a couple months ago. :wink:

Brady selling one with lots of chrome

Just one more bid

The seats at the horse sale didn't look very full. :?

I remember the day when people were packed to the rafters for a horse sale.

I take it you still had more heifers than you wanted to calve after the last group went. Hope you get/got paid well for this group.

Good for Rena, she needed that thousand to pay for her time and cost with that horse. :wink:

The three in the auction booth reminds me of wolves on the hunt.

Around here there's been lots of horses given away. A guy down the road from me had three paints he gave away a couple of months ago. Funny, I can remember when horses like the ones he gave away would have brought a pretty good price. A sign of the times, I guess.

The amount of good horses going to a good home is incredible,hard to sell anything.

 

[Shortgrass]

I wonder what Rena made per hour for the time she must have invested in the roan?

A labor of love is priceless.

what did brady get for the sorrel?

$300 :wink: and that may have been too much. :roll: The horse was ten years old, and this was probably his second or third time with experience wearing a saddle. :?

The ears belong to my Yellowstone horse. He was born in 1996, so he'd have been six years old when you worked here in 2002. I bought him as a yearling. He came from near Roberts, Montana, and is half Tennessee Walking Horse and half Quarter Horse. Time flies; he'll be fourteen next spring.

Are you riding any bulls these days, Scout? Have a Merry Christmas.
