RED BLUFF LIVESTOCK DOG SALE
Jan. 26, Red Bluff, CA
10 Dogs $7,170
Auctioneer: Justin Holmberg
Sale Manager: Ron Anderson
When it's livestock dog sale time in Red Bluff, you had better get there early if you want a seat to witness the action and this year, there was plenty of action as a new record was established for a high selling dog at $23,000. There is just something about watching a good stock dog work that everyone appreciates. All of the dogs that are entered in this sale must meet strict standards and be able to do just about anything except wash the dishes. These dogs are amazing and are so much fun to watch. They are eager to work and to please their handlers. Each dog is worked three different times and scored on strength, the ability to go to the lead cow, and the power to stop or turn the cattle when challenged. They are also scored on obedience. Do they obey commands and try to help the handler? They are scored on control. Do they balance the cattle to the handler, keep the cattle together. and can they think for themselves and not be overly dependent on the handler? There are also several things a dog should not do, such as bark excessively or pass between the cattle and the handler unless asked to. All in all, it is very tough competition and getting through it all with a respectable score is no easy task. The dogs are between 12 and 48 months of age and, of course, must meet health and soundness standards. As in the past years, there was a Water for Life donation dog. This year, the well known Crystal Rose Cowdogs, Sandi Newton, Red Bluff, CA, donated C. R. Leo, a black and white Border Collie, and he sold to Kahn Ranch, Roseburg, OR. TOPS—Patch, 9/17/03, black and white male Border Collie by McCallums Cloud ABC; Bred Venable, Wilton, CA, to Bell A Land and Cattle Co., La Pine, OR, $23,000.

RED BLUFF GELDING SALE
Jan. 26, Red Bluff, CA
115 head $6,443
Auctioneers: Rick Machado, Justin Holmberg and Trent Stewart
Sale Manager: Ron Anderson
Quality is the name of the game at the Red Bluff Gelding sale and that has been the standard since the sale was started 45 years ago. Good ranch geldings are hard to find and harder to buy when you do find one, and that is a strong consideration for anyone looking for a good ranch horse when they come to Red Bluff. This sale has gained national recognition over the years as a consistent and reliable source of high quality geldings that will work in a wide variety of conditions in the arena or in the open. As this sale has progressed, the consignors have always brought their best to Red Bluff knowing that their horse will get maximum exposure to serious buyers. They also know that in order to get their horse into the sale, they have to undergo some very intensive scrutiny. Each horse and mule that is entered in the Red Bluff sale first has to pass a sifting process conducted by some of the most knowledgeable horsemen in the West. Getting past that, they will compete in halter, roping, cutting, hackamore/snaffle bit and stock horse competition under the watchful eyes of the judges. At any of these stages, a horse can be sifted from the sale, and some are. While all of this is happening, there is always a very large crowd of spectators observing and doing their own judging. The evening when the Champion Conformation Gelding is selected, the Pauline Davis Pavilion is absolutely filled with people and excitement runs high. After all of the geldings have been gone over with a fine tooth comb, the sale order is made using a drawn by lot ensuring that there will be good horses all through the sale order. As always, the sellout crowd stays to the end and the excitement and enthusiasm that carries through them is impressive. Anyone that loves horses will have an enjoyable time at this sale and watching the consignors show their horses in the sale ring is always fun. It's showmanship, salesmanship and glamour, and the crowd loves it. The Red Bluff Gelding sale is unique from all aspects and anyone that comes to Red Bluff and misses the gelding sale has missed an integral part of the Red Bluff atmosphere. This year in tribute to the late Craig Owens, who was for many years the "wheelhorse" of this great event, the Ideal Ranch Horse Award was presented in his name and will be in the future. TOPS—Tuf N Cool, 5/10/00, chestnut gelding by Buckaroo Bueno Chex; Tracie Thornburgh and Billy Ward, Chiloquin, OR, to Noble and Finn Equine and Cattle Co., Llano, TX, $29,000. Niciflynn, 6/6/99, sorrel gelding by Flynns Grayson of Adoc; Jill Cendedella, Yuba City, CA, to Hutchings Cattle Co., Fallon, NV, $20,000. Champion Conformation: Dry Cody Command, 5/10/99, by Dry Double; Cowhorses, Inc., Parma, ID, to Sam Cannell, Anderson, CA, $17,000. Summers Salty Dog, 4/10/97, sorrel gelding by De Luxe Doc; UI Ranches, Red Bluff, CA, to Heidi Guertin, Lincoln, CA, $16,700. Peppy Sol Quixote, 4/30/01, gray gelding by Peppys Diamond Goer; Jeremy and Bettina Crume, Grants Pass, OR, to Sheena Rombauer, St. Helena, CA, $15,800. My Bonnets on Fire, 6/4/00, sorrel gelding by Red Bandana Two; Jeff Peck, Caldwell, ID, to Mervin Munsch, Pleasanton, CA, $14,000.
