You know, sad to say, but many horses in this sale point up one of the main problems in the TB industry:
Lots of these mares, and lots of these babies's mothers, should not have been bred in the first place.
So, now what you do with them? What kind of life will they have?
Many of these horses will not sell. Who would want them, and why?
Very troubling.

And unfortunately, they go straight from there to Florence Packing.

They haven't had a really powerful stallion since Staff Writer, who could put down runners and mares who could produce.
I know, they have had leading stallions in the state, but only relative to the success of each other.
The leading stallions there now could not stir up much interest in California as second tier stallions.
