Some good news for consignors to the 2009 NCHA Futurity Sales comes as a result of the Rock Creek Dispersal Sale on Friday, October 16.

Western Bloodstock, which conducts all NCHA sales in Fort Worth, announced this week that entries for the NCHA Futurity Sales would continue to be accepted for an extended time due to the overlapping schedule created by the Rock Creek Ranch Dispersal (also produced by Western Bloodstock).

More good news comes from Western Bloodstock director Milt Bradford, who reports that NCHA Futurity Sale consignments are down significantly from 2008.

“The supply and demand factor is going to kick in and those good prospects and show horses are going to sell well,” Bradford said. “As long as people are cutting, they need to have prospects.”

“I actually look for the Futurity Sales average to be up from 2008,” added Jim Ware, also a Western Bloodstock director. “A catalog of fewer horses should have a positive impact on the market. I also predict that the Rock Creek Sale is going to boost people’s confidence because we’re going to see all categories of horses sell well.”
