Livestock Interview with Jann Parker & Ross Wagner
OUR SOUNDNESS GUARANTEE: Credibility
and Dependability are important to us.
At Billings Livestock Horse Sales, all horses that are ridden
through the ring and sell as a result of being ridden through the ring, are GUARANTEED
SOUND until Monday Noon following the Saturday Sale and Tuesday Noon following the Sunday
Sale unless otherwise stated from the block. To further define our policy, if the horse
sells at 6 p.m. on the Saturday of our sale, the horse will be guaranteed sound for an
additional 42 hours - Noon on Monday.
What we here at BLS Horse Sales consider sound is: Sight out of
both eyes, good in the air, hit the ground sound on all four, and not to crib.
Your confidence in our sale does make a difference! See you at the
sale - and remember - at BLS, We Like Horses!
