Location: Texas | It's not bad. He has a decent amount of babies on the ground and I'm sure you will see them in other sales.. There's the BFA, Lance Graves, Fort Smith I think has one?? (maybe not)..
You'll find them PT too. We are breeding a mare to him next year and I didn't even bat an eye that there weren't any in there.

What I was thinking! You know he's putting foals on the ground.. Not seeing them in the sale catalog should be a good thing  |

Location: north dakota | I have a FG daughter bred to STF. If everything goes good I will put the foal up for sale PT. Since I have kids and live so far away I don't consign in the big auctions. |

| That is a well attended sale and very well advertised and promoted sale. If I had a colt I wanted to sell through a sale, I would not hesitate to consign to it. Two of the other well known sales are held in the winter and the weather can certainly interfere with the attendance and the bidding as a result.

Just guessing, but they probably make more money than you do.
