Location: Deep South | The market with the deeper pockets will prefer DTF, *mostly*. I personally prefer DFP. |

| If that were the only information I had to go off, I'd say DTF. That said, I'd care more about what the mare had produced than I would about who her sire was.
I'm weird though and have a hodge podge of genetics at my house. |

Location: Desert Land | All of them!! It depends on what you're breeding to though. I have a DTF & DFP daughter I'm breeding this year. I feel like their sires are both great sires and broodmare sires, so I am glad to have them in my broodmare band. |

Location: Arkansas | I'll be the odd ball and say MSM due to the fact I think the Lady Bugs Moon (Ralphs Lady Bug, Bugs Alive) are stong maternal producers. I would cross that on ANY of the others though! |

Location: East Texas | DTF and Shawne Bug for sure. I have two SB daughters from his second to last foal crop, and I have people call and email to buy them all the time. They aren't for sale though. And every year I have people wanting to buy their babies before they're born. I wouldn't mind a MSM mare in my herd though. |

| Thank you for your input everyone :) I expected more MSM to be honest? I'm just doing market research for myself. Lets just assume all the mares were proven and had great dam lines.

| Bully is by far my favorite. I just feel that as a broodmare sire for barrel horses in paricular, you can't go wrong with one of his daughters. |

Location: Texas | It totally depends. I like different bloodlines on the bottom depending on who I am breeding to. Also, I agree with Kuhlmann that I am more into what the mare has done or produced than who her sire was.
I love my mare Lucy's bottom side more for the fact that her dam is Leavem Lucille, than the fact that her dam is by Bugs Alive in 75. Leavem Lucille produced Levin Lucille who won over $100,000 in futurity, open, and rodeo earnings. Then she produced my Lucy who is a pro rodeo winner, and then my Lucy's full sister Lucy Lucille who won over $14,000 in futurity earnings.
My other mare Georgia is by Stoli who is out of a daughter of Magical Mile. Honestly, I haven't really researched much about Magical Mile, but I do know my mare's dam is a stakes winner and stakes producer.
