My wife and I made the trip over to buy some horses and see my family.
The sale was pretty good. IMA Bit of Heaven sold for $25,000 and PC Joe's Frost brought $35,000, but don't quote me since I don't have the catalog in front of me. One of the 4 year old geldings brought $12,500, and was well over 16 hands but very athletic. The rest of the ride horses averaged probably $4,000 to $5,500.
One of the weanlings sold for $14,500, and was a full sister to the #1 AQHA heading & heeling horse, or something like that. The rest probably averaged $2,000 to $2,500.
We bought a couple weanlings that will hopefully turn out to be nice riding horses, in three years!!???????!!!!!
It was a pretty good sale overall though. Lots of out of state buyers. Oh, and the broodmares were pretty hit and miss, probably averaged $2,500.
Sic Em, you are pretty close going by memory. I had to check my catalog. Ima Bit of Heaven sold for $35,000 going to some place in TX, I think San Angelo. PC Joes Frost sold for $25,000 going back to Miller, SD, pretty close to where he was bred.
The colt that sold for $14,500 was lot 95 a Buckskin Filly out of Ima Tuf Lena, she is a full sister to the horse JD Yates is showing and has over 100 AQHA points on in heading and healing.
FH the lot 156 mare sold for $4,700, I didn't mark down where she went. The top selling mare was lot 147, Somehickina Dually, a 97 mare sired by Docs Hickory out of a Dual Pep mare.
The 5 geldings averaged $6980. A rough average that I figured on the entire sale was $2525 on 160 head of horses, which is pretty darn good considering how many weanlings there were and how tough some of the other colt sales have been.
Overall this was a pretty darn good sale and the crowd stayed till the very end.
