From 1956 to 2020 [64 years], Chyleen and I raised a bunch of GOOD APPALOOSA HORSES; sold them to FL, TN, OK, IL, TX, CO,
NM, LA, MO, NJ, and MX. We bred to outside stallions, but found it was better for us to own our stallions and pasture breed. CHIEF OF DIAMONDS, NUDO, RED
DOGS RIBBON, PRINCES IMAGE, DF BRIGHT DYNASTY, Mc CARDO, KING DAVID TWO, SPEED AND POWER, DFSKIPSBRIGHTDREAM, IMAGINE A FEATURE, DF BRIGHT BIDDER, OLYMPIC
RED DREAM and DF SUN POWER DOC were our pasture stallions.
We were competing against Quarter horses in the TX, OK, NM, and LA markets, selling to ranch managers, day cowboys and cowgirls, week end riders, breeders,
and people who just wanted to raise a good horse, so our horses were cow-bred, had good conformation to show at halter, perform in shows in cow events, and
win for the owners. Of course, it all depended on the TL&C, training, and patience to bring them along.
2019 was a bad year for my medical issues and got worse in 2020, and, Covid-19 scares kept me at home, so we decided to have our own private treaty sale, with
the help of ADs in Craig's List and Livestock Weekly. WE WANT TO THANK ALL THE BUYERS!
We sold 6 head to TX, 4 head to OK, 10 headd to a on-line horse auction, and then the rest of the herd = DF SUN POWER DOC [our red leopard herd stallion] 15 mares,
eight [8] 2020 foals, 24+1 head [+mares pasture exposed], to an OK horse ranch. We especially want to thank Shelby Shoell, Sallisaw, OK, and wish her the best with
our horses. All along, I was praying for a buyer who would carry on our breeding goals, and, she called, wanted to see a 2017 colt that did not sell at the horse
auction, and, she asked if we would sell the rest of the herd and I said YES. So, as of 12-01-2020, ALL of our Appaloosa horses are gone and the stallion shed and
corrals empty.
We still have spots at our D-F family owned ranch; British White Cattle, and, for some "unknown reason", I like the ones that are white with black spots.
They have a gentle nature, no horns, little calves, and, we sell our Bull calves to commercial cattle raisers who want to raise some good crossbreds for their family
freezers. Call or email.
We will try to get some photos of the herd bulls and the cows so you can see our BW cattle. D-F Ranch is located SW of Troup, TX, & Tyler, TX. Prior appointments
only, 903-581-1033 after 10AM to 5 PM, CST, email dfcf@att.net.
THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES WITH OUR DF APPALOOSA HORSES.
