The 19th Annual Colorado State University Online Stallion Auction offers breedings with some of the country’s top sires. The auction begins on Jan. 2 and runs through Jan. 16 on the CSU Stallion Auction webpage (32auctions.com/CSUStallionAuction).

The service auction features well-known winners in barrel racing, cow horse, cutting and reining competitions – as well as sought-after sires of working ranch horses. All proceeds help improve horse health by funding research and veterinary education at Colorado State’s renowned Equine Reproduction Laboratory and Orthopaedic Research Center.
