Spring is really here!

Well, spring is here for real....
First babies and a winter snowstorm.....

Our first "Bubba" baby was born the last weekend of February. Her mom is a nice daughter of Smart LittleCalboy out of an own daughter of Sugar Bars. This nice mare also came from the Roach's who were the previous owners of Bearly Missed (Bubba). We heard from one of the folks that bought another mare in foal to him and were presented with a super nice palomino colt out of her. We're looking forward to pictures!! We've also done some investigating and were pleased to learn that Bubba's first cutter was 3rd in the NW Futurity last fall in the Non-Pro division. Another of his babies has won her first two "outs" as a barrel racer. We want to congratulate the owners and wish them continued success.

The Botkins in Valley Falls, KS are the proud owners of Honky Tonk CD's first baby of the year. They got a pretty chestnut filly with roan hairs everywhere! We look forward to pictures and we'll post them soon.

During the weekend of the 10th thru the 12th of March we attended the Nebraska Horse Expo at the www.RanchBrowser.com booth. There was a LARGE crowd and it looked like everyone had a ball.

The weekend of March 18 and 19 Deb attended an excellent equine reproduction short course in Decatur, NE. The course was given by the crew from www.equine-reproduction.com and was the best of its kind that she's been to. It was packed with practical advise and tips and good review for techniques for getting older and "problem" mares in foal. For anyone thinking of attending this kind of course we'd recommend this one for sure!

Mother nature played a pretty good early April Fools joke and dumped about a foot and a half of heavy, wet snow on us from the morning of March 19 until the morning of March 21st.... we needed the moisture, but geez- what a miserable way to get it!!

Until next time, take care and God Bless,
Eddy and Deb
