asked good lack lined looked month people sale worked
I'm not really surprised. If you had asked me a month ago, I would have said I didn't have those expectations, but it all worked out and as people lined up on the horse, he looked like he could potentially be a sale topper. You don't know before you come to the sale what's going to happen, but he's been as good as we've had all year. It was a lack of nothing wrong. He just did everything right. There were no problems.

The funny thing is, he went out, so I was losing more ground the first 50 or 60 yards. But once I got him going, he settled down. He was pretty relaxed.

The level of productivity and creating material has been phenomenal. It?s just an example of the commitment to partner with different people to educate different kids.
