Just called the livestock exchange, guy said they just finished counting all the horses and his numbers are approximate:
Viewing between 8-10 Saturday morning on site
selling by the head or lot, not by the pound
Approx 35 mares + babies together, will be sold singly not as a lot
Approx 40 mares in several lots (14, 17, 19)
25-30 mares no babies singly
25-30 geldings singly
Approx 75 big “old” studs to be sold in several lots
Approx 20-30 yearlings and weaned foals sold singly
All horses have brands except a few and except some babies
Auction starts at 11:00
Payment via cash, Visa or MasterCard only
Nevada tax = 7.6%
The lots will be sold at the pens – those horses will not be brought through the arena, everyone will walk to the pens and bid there
If we’re bidding, we need to register
27 owners represented in these 500 horses
I just added those numbers and it only comes to 275, so not sure about the other 225 horses that would make a total of 500 but at least we get the idea
