More Low Auctions

uuugh. I know better than to read the South Dakota Horse Sale report but I did anyway.

I can't seem to copy and paste but in June they sold 225 horses.

1000lbs and over = $150 - $350
900lbs and smaller = $100 - $200
Yearlings and very thin horses 800lbs and under = $25 - $125

Another note from their flier

Reminder - No Sale in August, so please bring your culled horses to our July 19th sale.

AAARRRG. So much for culling horses in the fall. Looks like people are already starting. I'd really like to go but not sure I can swing it. Anyone willing to go with me? Please?!?!? I can add to my hay order now.. and probably not later.. so I can save a few right now. Anyone up for a rescue effort?


And to top it off, Another Chance 4 Horses (AC4H) has until 4pm their time (3pm my time) to save Broker horses. What's terrible is that there are a lot of really nice horses there going for super cheap and there are a lot of them. You don't see that type of quality in South Dakota.

The Camelot Group is also trying to fundraise for a bunch of horses at the Camelot Auction/Feedlot. There's still 13 horses yet to save before Saturday at noon. Again, cheaply priced and good quality.

And right now at this very moment (2:10pm my time....3:10 their time), the SugarCreek Auction is going on. I know that it happens every month but there is a group there trying to pull horses now.

I HATE auctions. HATE, HATE, HATE them!

Wonder if we could pull off a similar rescue like the yearly Sugar Creek saves or do the weekly Camelot rescue or AC4H rescues. Uuugh, just makes me exhausted.

Anyone willing to do a major auction save effort? I'm game.
