A&A Ranch To Offer New Mexico-Bred Yearling Consignment Directly Off Farm

Fred Alexander of A&A Ranch in Anthony, N.M. announced today that due to COVID-19 restrictions and the relocation of the Ruidoso New Mexico-Bred Yearling Sale to Oklahoma, he is offering his consignment of yearlings for purchase directly from the farm.

All yearlings are currently under sales prep at the farm. More information will be available soon on the A&A Ranch website: www.aaranch.org

After selling the $82,000 sale topper at Ruidoso in 2019, Alexander said, “it was not an easy decision to stay in New Mexico and sell from our home base, but at the end of the day I felt we needed to do what was best for our staff and the horses.”

Alexander continued, “we have another highly promising group for 2020 and feel they will do very well racing in New Mexico.”
