          Location: DUMPING CATS AND PIGS IN TEXAS :) | Let's pretend that you only have one shot at breeding this mare. You will only get one foal from her. Who would you breed her to for a barrel prospect? Also, she is a producer, she has earned money in roping and has her ROM. She comes from a family of producers.

        Location: Carpenter, WY | I think you're going to find that those good old cow lines are going to cross well on ALOT of different types. We have put our DOL grandaughter on different studs both speed and cow and have never been disappointed. They seem to be the first to sell and go on to do good things in the arena in a variety of events. Nice minds, good bone and actually more speed than you'd think. Put all your choices in a hat and draw one out and go with it |

1- they never go out of style. 2- If, for whatever reason, they don't make the barrel pen you have LOTS of other avenues in which you can sell one. Hello roping pen??? 3 - Color? people love a blonde!
2nd choice is ASOF.
1- sale price. they are dang easy to sell. 2- he's an all around sire as well, barrels/rope/mtd shooting/ etc. 3- color? everyone loves a roan!
just my 2 cents.... cuz I'm pretty sure I'll want her baby regaurdless of who you breed her to! |

For this mare I would flip that. ASOF before frenchmans guy. FG himself wont bring enough speed to the cow, but ASOF has proven over and over how good he is on cow. |

| So I've been thinking about this cross for a few days now. The problem is that the race people who know 5bar dont want the DOD. and the people who what the DOD probably wont recognize or be willing to pay the price you will need. I still think you're better to breed your other mare to 5bar. |

In fact, I'd hope greatly for a stud prospect at some point, but wouldn't mind a filly either. Now, if we got more than one from her, I'd probably be ok selling one, but she's older and I would like to keep that bloodline in my program somehow. |

| If your plan is to keep the offspring then by all means breed how ya like!
ETA - Scorchy is getting older ... maybe breed to him to keep that streakin' six line in there too? I really like that idea .... hmmmm maybe flush her and breed one egg to scorcho and one egg to ASOF. Then, cross your fingers for filly's and breed the heck outa them? They'd be similar breeding with streakin' six on the top side, same bottom, and a little different mare line on the sire side ... hmmmm I like this idea more and more ...

| I think I was coming from the livestock side of my brain where ya build a group of females who are real similarly bred. Then drop a stud on them that clicks and make lots of babies that you can sell and people want.
So, you have Scorcho already right? You have a program built around him to a degree and it is expanding like crazy. You'll soon have babies on the ground this next year and you have some of his babies already in some seriously capable hands .... I vote breed to Scorcho and promote the hell outa that program. He's nice and just bringing him more well bred mares is only going to help! |

I like your thinking. I'm certainly hoping for a few years left in her and hoping for a few flushes to a few different studs. Scorcho is getting first shot at her. I've got two of his daughters on the side burner and hope to include them in my broodmare band one day when they are finished working.....soooo, technically, I wouldn't necessarily want a colt from this cross.

| If I knew I was only getting one foal in the lifetime of this mare I would stick with something that is a proven producer. Although family lines are proven there are offspring that do not produce and an unproven horse is risky if you have the budget to take her to the best of the proven sires. I like the Judge Cash thought. I think his colts are proven enough would add speed and should stay sound. Just my opinion. |

I completely understand. And, at this point while you are still building the program, I have found it to be the toughest part! Waiting for the babies to hit the ground can be frustrating. You could seriously speed it up by flushing and dropping several foals from that mare in the same year. You could pick a couple differnt stallions and drop maternal siblings on the ground to breed back to Scorcho ... hmmmmmm I like that idea too! Are they sexing equine embryos yet? I know that it is successfully done in the cattle and sheep industry .... |

I'm not a breeder nor a scientist, but I don't think you can sex embryos as I believe the gender of the foal is determined by the stud. But perhaps I'm confused on that point. |

So, you have Scorcho already right? You have a program built around him to a degree and it is expanding like crazy. You'll soon have babies on the ground this next year and you have some of his babies already in some seriously capable hands .... I vote breed to Scorcho and promote the hell outa that program. He's nice and just bringing him more well bred mares is only going to help! I like your thinking. I'm certainly hoping for a few years left in her and hoping for a few flushes to a few different studs. Scorcho is getting first shot at her. I've got two of his daughters on the side burner and hope to include them in my broodmare band one day when they are finished working.....soooo, technically, I wouldn't necessarily want a colt from this cross. But, who knows lol. I'm trying to plan the future as well as the present and it's overwhelming to think about lol. I want something BA with this mare. I completely understand. And, at this point while you are still building the program, I have found it to be the toughest part! Waiting for the babies to hit the ground can be frustrating. You could seriously speed it up by flushing and dropping several foals from that mare in the same year. You could pick a couple differnt stallions and drop maternal siblings on the ground to breed back to Scorcho ... hmmmmmm I like that idea too! Are they sexing equine embryos yet? I know that it is successfully done in the cattle and sheep industry ....
I don't know about sexing. I'm totally new to ET. I think plans for next year will be to try to get a few from her. I'll have to save up. |

I like pretty much any CC stud, so I think that is nice.
I would go with something straight race, that is what I did for my cowbred. |

I know that it is successfully done in the cattle and sheep industry .... I'm not a breeder nor a scientist, but I don't think you can sex embryos as I believe the gender of the foal is determined by the stud. But perhaps I'm confused on that point.
perhaps I should have said are they sexing equine semen. My bad, but I know when you flush a cow; you pull eggs, drop 'em in a dish, grab the correct sex of semen, mate them, watch 'em develop, then drop 'em in donors. (yes, I know it is more specific, that's just a rough outline of the work flow).
This is routinely done in the Dairy cattle industry as females are worth more. My ex-fiance did it with some beef cows (simmies) and my dad has done it with some ewes of ours ... I just wasn't sure if the equine industry was to that point yet Must google ....... |

I wasn't trying to be a know-it-all...that was just what I had hear. The whole embryo transfer, shipped semen thing is so above me...all I seem to see is $ signs, LOL. |

Sorry if I came off wrong or weird. I wasn't trying to! Sometimes things can be taken in a different tone than intended! I was just trying to clarify |

My upcoming stallion is by Dash Ta Fame and out of a daughter of Frenchmans Guy. The dams momma was sired by Bully Bullion and produced 3 stakes winners. My husband does the race horse lines, so thats how he picked ours to be mixed in the petre dish |

         Location: Where I am happiest | OK,,,,,my most sound advice without writing a book. .........It's pretty hard to try to reinvent the wheel and correct me if I'm wrong but your trying to breed barrel horses correct? Certain families have been proven over and over and over again. While I agree I do not believe we have found all those families yet, we have found alot of them! Also, it's like breeding for the unicorn by trying to go to a son of a son of!!!! It's also very hard if the sire is young because why go to a son of when you can go to the source. I will also just through out there...ALOT of your futurity trainers do NOT like the Corona Cartels and like it or not, they can and will make or break your breeding program. So with that said....you have a golden opportunity right now, and I do mean right now. The futurities are going in AZ as we speak. Today is the second go of the Classic Equine. Next fri and sat is the Greg Olsen Memorial and the following weekend is Pac West and the final and last American Qualifier. WATCH THE WEBCASTS!!!! It cost $6.00 to get the full weekend each weekend. Starts at 9:00 each morning with the futurity. EVERY top futurity trainer in the nation is there!!! Watch, and study what they are riding as they do announce the pedigree of each horse. See what they are riding and how they do. Next, I would advise talking to those top futurity trainers and pick their brains. Again, they will make or break you. Go to www.321actionvideo.com and sign up for the live webcast. You have approx 30 minutes from right now untill the second go of the classic equine will run. Troy Crumrine, Talmadge Green, Kassie Mowrey, Jolene Montgomery, Latricia Duke, Pete Owen, and the list goes on and on are ALL there. |

          Location: Riding Crackhead. | My vote is Frenchmans Guy and Stoli. I love stoli but couldn't afford him so I bred to Stoli My Heart instead. I love the filly I got. Now here's something I'm going to throw out there "hypothetically" that will get everyone riled up but I'm just curious. What about Clayton? How would he cross on a mare bred like yours? |

Clayton #1 has no reg. papers and #2, has yet to prove he's a sire. I'll also throw out there if she's breeding for her own elite sire, she should be looking to the fountainheads and those who have proven to #1 be a sire, and #2 ( Ideally) be a sire of sires. What about Tres Seis himself? They are liking them. |

I understand that, I'm not an idiot I was just asking Jennifer her opinion. |
