The Rick Machado Livestock “Main Event” horse auction held Nov. 10 in Paso Robles, Calif., was well attended. It wasn’t the same crowd as in the past, but the building was full and the horses sold well. There were also new consignors and more dogs!
The working dogs are becoming a popular item, and we have a great bunch of cowboys training them.
San Juan Ranch gave horse supplement to the top five buyers this year…we thank them very much for all they do in the community!
With all the ropings, golf tournaments, weddings and ranch rodeos going on, we were pleasantly surprised by the turnout we had at the muley roping.
Thanks to all for your support.
