Re: [RC] "pound dog" mentality for horses? - Truman Prevatt
I'm wouldn't characterize the auctions in FL as feedlots or killer
lots. I'm sure there are some meat producers there looking for horses
but it seems that the prices may be high enough that it is not
economically feasible to buy many of them for meat. The auctions seem
to be well attended by people looking for a horse. And there are quite
a few with or without papers that end up there. It is amazing how many
good horses come on the market because of divorce.
