Offspring are eligible for NRCHA Stallion Incentive, Riata Buckle Roping Incentive, SDRCHA Stallion Stakes, and IQHA Ranch Horse Futurity.
We have been fortunate to work with the Jones family to offer him to the public since 2020. I particularly love the mind on this stallion. He is incredibly reliable and willing and passes that on to his offspring. His performance age foal crop is limited, but he has already proven to be an exciting sire.

Mare Management
On- farm management of broodmares is available on a limited basis for 2025. (Dependent on stall and breeding dose availability.)
A chute fee of $300 per estrous cycle will be charged to account for handling, teasing, insemination and related procedures required for breeding. Any additional veterinary procedures will be billed separately/in addition to the chute fee by the veterinarian performing the work.
Walter Livestock will furnish all facilities for the care and feeding of the mare at the daily rate of $20.00 per day, with an additional $5.00 assessed for wet mares. Mares will be housed in individual stalls/runs.
Mares should be halter broke and able to be safely handled and restrained for breeding. We reserve the right to reject any mare that is showing signs of illness, or is unable to be safely handled through the breeding stocks. Priority will be given to mares booked in advance. Please communicate with us frequently so we can try to accommodate as many mares as possible.
Haul-in Collection Services
Stallion collection services are available for stallions on a limited basis. Contact us in advance to discuss availability and scheduling. Currently, stallions must already be trained to collect off of a phantom. Cooled overnight shipment is $350. Clean-out collections with test cool are $250.
We currently do not have long-term on-site housing available for additional stallions.
We will be adding additional stallion services (phantom training, freezing) in the future. Contact us for further information on expanded services.
