Nope, up your stud fee all you want. I will just go elsewhere.
It's called inflation.. Look all around you. Prices on everything is going up. It's also called business. Gas prices, feed prices, hay prices. Everything is going up. that is why stud fees go up. They go up along with everything in America |

I'm going to clear something up right now. IF you already mailed your contract back to Joleen, your fee will not go up. It's locked in to what your contract states.
Instead of second guessing and throwing stuff out there, call her.
Awesome! |

Exactly---Jolene has been at this a while, WHY ???? Because she is a straight shooter. |

Jolene has been at this game for a long time and she will know what is in her best interest and act accordingly. She is first class in my book and I cannot see her raising his fee on mares that were already booked, not her nature. If she wants to capitalize on The American---good for her and raise his fee moving forward, her call. Running The American was a huge expense for her, even though he qualified to advance each round it is not like he brought in a ton of money.
STF certainly made a lot of people sit up and take notice with his stellar performance at the American! |

On their website is says Private Treaty, but on some of his other adds the price has been changed to $2,500 |

Thoughts on someone that ups the stud fee in the middle of breeding season because his colts started doing good. Totally understand the fees going up the following year but in the middle of breeding season - I wouldn't think that's good business. Jmo
No worries!! This was the original post. It could very easily not be STF, I was more answering people who were talking about his fee being upped as well. My apologies if it messed this post up. I hadn't read for the beginning so I was assuming since that is what people were talking about that is who it was in reference to.

Usually if you just ask them they will explain themselves and it makes sense. I saw one and at first was like, well that't not cool... got my information and it totally makes sense to me and I agreed with their decision.
+1
Studs are a horse business. Like any other business, just call and ask. You might be able to negotiate a better deal based on the circumstances or even what you are bringing to the table yourself in your mare. It wouldn't bother me to see someone raising the price mid-season. It would just have made me wish I'd signed a deal sooner if for some reason they might not give me the old price or a negotiated one. It happens.
