Why Buy from this sale? Pick of the Remuda
Before the decision is made to purchase, everyone makes a choice. Some people will devote considerable effort to research, value received and market study, while others buy on impulse. No matter how you arrive at your decision, the “AQHA Best of the Remuda Sale” makes the process easier. Each award-winning ranch has selected horses that represent their unique breeding program. You decide.
Yearlings
From an investment standpoint, your purchase will include pedigree, conformation and the largest potential for overall increased value. Ranches are able to offer better bred yearlings at auction due to the reduced cost to bring a horse to this market point. Yearlings have been halter broke, loaded and have experienced their first trip away from home. They are now ready to begin their education in the functional part of their lives. The development skills
you employ to advance their training will return later as they are broke and trained in the many disciplines of the Quarter Horse.
Two & Three Year Olds
The combination of many patient hours spent breaking and laying the foundation for a great performance horse, is packaged in this product. These ranches are offering you a chance to purchase a horse that has a lot of the “guess work” removed. Their value has increased as you can now see how they handle and perform the basic tasks required of them. This is the point where a buyer can take advantage of the time and labor that the ranches have invested to lay the groundwork and begin to sharpen the horse in more specific areas of performance.
Riding Horses
Few will have a chance to really enjoy what is offered here. Each day we all wish to own and ride a
top using horse. This is it — the culmination of years of hard work and hard knocks. Each of these horses has a unique story from their early start to their educational experiences that make them so valued.
Broodmares and Stallions
Any ranch that the AQHA has selected to receive this prestigious award has based their breeding program on a strong mare foundation complemented by stallions which improve the breeding traits they strive to produce. These broodmares and stallions carry the bloodlines that have made these ranches so successful. Here is a chance to reach into these herds and tap into hundreds of years of genetics that have developed the great American Quarter Horse. As you make your choice, remember the opportunity that is being offered is unmatched. From the potential value of the yearling to the inherent worth of the breeding stock from these programs, buy and enjoy a dream we all share.

Stuart Ranch Terry Stuart Forst • PO Box 247, Waurika, Oklahoma 73573 • 580-228-3272 • stuartranch.com In 1868, Robert Clay Freeny left Boggy Depot, Indian Territory to settle on the “Redlands” on what is today the Atoka/Bryan county line, north and east of Caddo Oklahoma. This country would become the future headquarters for the Stuart Ranch, which has now grown into a diversified operation spanning four counties in the great state of Oklahoma. The headquarters today is in Jefferson County, near Waurika Oklahoma. Robert Clay registered one of the first brands in the Choctaw Nation; today cattle are branded with a 7S on the left hip and the horses branded with an S on their left shoulder. The Stuart Ranch was designated an “Oklahoma Centennial Ranch” by the Historical Society and in 2012 was inducted into the Oklahoma Quarter Horse Association Hall of Fame. The ranch has also been honored for its stewardship in grazing management by the Society of Range Management. The ranch operates a commercial cow herd comprised of Hereford and Black Baldys. We calve in a 60-day season in both the spring and fall. Calves are weaned and we have the options of wheat or grass. Replacement heifers are also a primary focus in our operation and are available open or bred. Our no-till wheat pasture gives us the flexibility to better use our native grass, take in gain cattle and gives us options on timing as to the marketing of home-raised calves. The ranch has a drought plan in place and does not deviate from it. In 1949, Bob Stuart began to upgrade the horses on the ranch with the purchase of Big Shot Dun from the Waggoner Ranch. Son O

Leo and Port Command crossed back on the Big Shot Dun and Breezy Buck mares laid a solid foundation for the broodmare band. Today the ranch maintains around 30 mares of which all have proven themselves on the ranch and/or in the show pen with the majority being producers and performers. The ranch strives to produce versatile horses with eye appeal, good structure, conformation and agility. Stuart Ranch has produced numerous World Champions, superior event horses, NRCHA, NCHA and RHAA money earners, national high point titles and the 1995 Superhorse, Genuine Redbud. In 2014, Miss T Stuart (1961) - (Breezy Buck x Pretty Sally x Big Shot Dun) was inducted into the AQHA Hall of Fame. In 1995 the ranch was honored to be the recipient of the Best Remuda Award. The ranch participates in the Ranching Heritage Breeders program and has won the Heritage Challenge event twice. With abundant populations of whitetail deer, turkey (both Eastern and Rio Grande), feral hogs, quail, ducks and geese, the ranch began to pursue another enterprise. Stuart Ranch Outfitters was developed to oversee all the management of the wildlife populations and to provide a guide service. Stuart Ranch Outfitters is continually enhancing accommodations and creating unique hunting packages. Being good stewards of the resources God has given us to manage, is a commitment to which the ranch is dedicated. As the oldest ranch in the state of Oklahoma under continuous family ownership, the ranch is proud of its tradition and heritage and looks forward to an exciting future of excellence.

land & cattle co. Brooks Hodges • PO Box 120, Guthrie, Texas 79236 • 806-284-2223 • ThePitchforkRanch.com From all accounts, the Pitchfork Land & Cattle Company would not exist were it not for the life-long friendship of two men–Daniel Baldwin Gardner and Eugene Flewellyn Williams. Both men were born in the South in 1851 to plantation-owning families. In 1871, tales of abundant opportunity in Texas lured Gardner to Fort Griffin, located near present-day Albany. In February of 1877, Gardner was one of 17 men who drafted plans for what was to become one of the most powerful and prestigious livestock organizations in the world, which is known today as the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association. In the summer of 1881, Gardner learned that Jerry Savage, who had been running cattle on the South Wichita River under a Pitchfork brand, was interested in selling land, equipment and stock. Needing capital, Gardner thought of his boyhood friend, Eugene Williams. In 1881, Williams journeyed to Fort Worth and after a dinner meeting announced he was ready to close the deal, without seeing either the land or the cattle. Williams said he was investing in the venture solely because he had the highest regard for his friend, Dan Gardner. Williams wrote a check and took the night train back to St. Louis.

AQHA Best of The Remuda Sale • SATURDAY, JANUARY 17, 2015 @ 12:00 noon
The property Gardner and Williams purchased included 2,600 longhorn cattle, 70 horses, wagons and camp equipment, but little land. They did obtain rights to the ranch that bordered the South Wichita River in eastern Dickens and western King counties. Wishing to expand, but lacking capital, the two men found two willing investors from Texas, A.P. Bush Jr. and Samuel Lazarus and two from St. Louis, A.D. Brown and W. H. Carroll. In St. Louis on December 29, 1883, the partners gathered to adopt the by-laws and elect officers of the newly formed corporation known as the Pitchfork Land & Cattle Company. Gardner was chosen to be general manager, a position he held until his death in June of 1928. Only six managers have filled the vacancy left by Gardner. These included Rudolph Swenson, Virgil Parr, D. Burns, Jim Humphreys and Bob Moorhouse. Today, the ranch is managed by Brooks Hodges. The Pitchfork Land & Cattle Company stretches some 181,000 acres in three west Texas counties and newly acquired acreage in Waurika, Oklahoma known as the Pitchfork OK Ranch. The descendants of Eugene Williams continue to operate the 130-year-old ranch in the same conservative manner as did the ranch’s founders.

haythorn
land & cattle co. Craig & Jody Haythorn • 193 Haythorn Drive, Arthur, Nebraska 69121 • 308-355-4000 • haythorn.com The historic Haythorn Ranch legacy began more than a century and a quarter ago as a dream in the mind of a young stowaway, Harry Haythornthwaite, of Lancaster, England. In 1876, at age 16, Harry was discovered as a stowaway on a ship headed for America. The Captain put him to work caring for some Hereford bulls being shipped to Texas. No stranger to livestock or hard work, Harry’s ability impressed the Captain and upon arrival, he was dispatched to accompany the bulls to their destination. Over the next eight years, he worked as a cowhand, making four trail drives north out of Texas. Two of the drives went to Kansas and two to Ogallala, Nebraska. On his last drive to Ogallala, with only his savings and what he could carry on a horse, he decided to strike out on his own. He bought a livery stable, shortened his name to Haythorn and married Emma Gilpin of Arthur County. After just a couple of years, the newlyweds sold the livery barn and he went to work as a wagon boss for P.A. Yeast. He took his wages in cattle and Emma cooked at the Yeast Ranch for 25 cents a meal, if there were more than 10 men at the table. Less than that, she cooked for free. Nearly every penny they could pinch was put aside to buy land. In 1884, Harry and Emma filed on a land grant section four miles west of Arthur, Nebraska, and an American ranching dynasty was born. Harry and Emma had two sons, Walt Percival and Harry Walker

Haythorn. Though different in disposition, as well as ability, both boys were accomplished cowboys and continued the ranching tradition. Today Haythorn Land and Cattle Co. is spread over two ranches in two Nebraska counties. Present day manager, Craig Haythorn is the fourth generation of Haythorns to manage this historic sandhills ranch. He and his wife, Jody, and 5th generation Sage, his wife Kelley, and Cord manage the day to day events trying to preserve cowboy traditions in an ever changing and increasingly challenging industry. Horses have played a pivotal role in the ranch’s survival ever since Harry loaded his saddle on a train and headed for Baker, Oregon, where he gathered up 500 head and trailed them back to Nebraska. Since then, the Haythorn name has been synonymous with good, working ranch horses. The Haythorn Ranch was the first Nebraska ranch to register Quarter Horses, and today is one of the largest breeders of the American Quarter Horse in America. In addition to the Quarter Horses, the Haythorns use Belgian draft horses. The 6-horse hitches pull the feed wagons in the winter. The day to day life is much the same for the Haythorn cowboys today as it was over a century ago. The family has taken great pride in preserving the rich heritage and tradition of its founding father. These rolling Nebraska sandhills will be home to generations of Haythorns to come.

w.t. waggoner estate Trace Cribbs/Wes O’Neal • PO Box 2130, Vernon, Texas 76384 • 940-552-2521 ext. 252 • waggonerranch.com Waggoner Ranch was started in 1849 by Dan Waggoner. Dan began buying land in western Wise County in 1870. In 1873 Dan and his 21-year-old son, W.T. (Tom) drove a herd of cattle to market in Kansas, and returned with $55,000. This was considered to be a fortune at that time. It was seed money to start an empire. As the land was cleared for settlement, they gradually moved to the west, buying grasslands, having holdings in six counties. Dan passed away in 1902, and W.T. Waggoner continued to expand and operate his ranching interests until 1923 when he formed what is known today as the W.T. Waggoner Estate. The W.T. Waggoner Estate stretches into six counties, with headquarters in Vernon, Texas. Main interests of the company are ranching, oil, and approximately 26,000 acres in cultivation. The horses are bred for working ranch purposes and many still carry the

bloodline of the famous Quarter Horse, Poco Bueno. W.T. Waggoner’s descendants continue to operate the ranch today. The Estate is owned by A.B. Wharton and the Biggs Family trusts. Co-directors are A.B. Wharton and Gene Willingham. The main office for the Estate is located in Vernon, Texas. The headquarters for the ranch, known as Zacaweista, is located 13 miles south of Vernon. The ranch consists of approximately 525,000 acres. It employs approximately 140 people, ranging from cowboys, farm hands, oil field workers, to office staff. The cowherd is comprised of 60% straight Hereford with 40% Angus/Charolais cross. Ranch management constantly strives to implement proven modern techniques into the operation, making the W.T. Waggoner Estate one of the largest cow/calf enterprises in the country.

W.H. Green Cattle Co. Billy Green • P.O. Box 385, Albany, Texas 76430 • 325-762-2770 • GreenRanch.com In the 1870’s, Thomas Henry Green from Hill County was running his stock on the open range of West Central Texas, including a herd of horses located in Western Stephens County, on Hubbard Creek. Since the open range was being fenced, he sent his young son, William Henry, a recent 1885 graduate of Trinity University, to locate, gather, sell the horses and return to Hill County. Henry did everything his father told him except return to Hill County. He was so impressed with the Hubbard Creek country that he used the money from the horses to lease and later purchase the beginning of the Green Ranches. When W.H. Green first acquired a

herd of cattle branded “J” on the left hip, he adopted that brand. Today, W.H. Green Cattle Company still brands the J and is managed by Billy Green, grandson of the ranch’s founder. The ranch runs Hereford, Angus and black baldy cows and purchases yearlings each year. Horses are a very important part of daily ranch operations and are furnished by an award-winning broodmare band. The American Quarter Horse Association honored the Green horses with the 2002 AQHA/Bayer Best Remuda Award. Horses are bred to withstand the daily rigors of ranch use as well as excel in the performance horse world.

tule ranch Bette Cogdell • 9689 Tule Ranch Road, Tulia, Texas 79088 • 806-633-4395 • tule-ranch.com Billy Cogdell was born and raised on his family’s ranch north of Snyder, Texas. He found himself hooked on the sport of cutting after winning his first class at the age of 12 and for the next eight years he continued to show his ranch horses at every cutting he could. But that all came to an end shortly after Billy turned 20 when he contracted polio. It left him 98 percent paralyzed. As a result, the image of Billy Cogdell that most people remember is Billy sitting in his wheelchair at the cutting or a ranch rodeo. Billy died in 2003, but he left a legacy in both the ranching and cutting horse industries that continues today. His three sons and a daughter are carrying on the Cogdell name. In 1954, after the fifth year of a terrible drought, D.M. Cogdell, Sr. looking to find better pastures remembered from his youth the Texas Panhandle plains and how lush the grass was there. The Tule Ranch was purchased east of Tulia, Texas and D.M. moved his cattle there. It was good cow country and when Billy recovered enough from his bout with polio, D.M. sent him to the Panhandle to take over that ranch. Following the death of D.M. in 1964 Billy and his brother, D.M., Jr., took over the ranch’s interests in the Panhandle. Their sister, Jonisue, operated the ranch at Snyder. In the mid 1970s, Billy and D.M., Jr., split their inheritance. Billy and his wife, Bette, kept the original Tule Ranch. At the time of Billy’s death, the Tule Ranch encompassed more than 160,000 acres with 3,000 mother cows. D.M. Cogdell, Sr. had known the value of a good horse and he planted the foundation for the Cogdell horses when in 1951 he purchased 10 yearling fillies and a yearling stallion sired by Wimpy from the King Ranch. D.M., Sr., named the stallion Solis Cogdell. Later that year, D.M., Sr., went to the Waggoner Ranch and bought a son of Pretty Buck named Peppy Buck. He also bought a daughter of King from the Hankins brothers. That group of
36
AQHA Best of The Remuda Sale • SATURDAY, JANUARY 17, 2015 @ 12:00 noon
horses provided the basis for the top remuda, one that Billy and his children have continued to develop even until today. In 1977, while at the NCHA Futurity sale, Billy purchased a little 13.2hand mare named Lynx Melody who went on to win the NCHA Futurity, the NCHA Derby and was the 1980 NCHA World Champion Mare. Her lifetime earnings were more than $113,000. After retiring to the broodmare band, Lynx Melody has produced foals that earned thousands of dollars. In 1996, she produced a filly named Shania Cee who won the NCHA Futurity making Lynx Melody the only mare ever to win the Futurity and produce a Futurity winner. Lynx Melody’s foals have now earned more than $1 million in cutting competitions. The broodmare band reflects the Cogdells’ interest in the cutting arena as well as in ranch horses because to the Cogdell’s they are one in the same. An example is former ranch sire Maxi Lena, by Doc O’Lena out of a daughter of Gay Bar King. His foals have earned more than $850,000 in NCHA competition and sired six ranch horse and rodeo champions. Peppys Boy 895, sire of NCHA Futurity Champion Shania Cee, is an all around sire with several of his daughters in the Tule Remuda, his get have earned money in cutting, reining, working cow horse and ranch horse shows. The Cogdells today operate their ranches just as their father did. In the rough Tule Canyon, there is no substitute for a good horse. Cattle are gathered and calves are branded all with horses and in the fall, during shipping time, some cattle are driven close to 15 miles up and out of the canyon, where the truck awaits. “Daddy always wanted to win the Best of Remuda Award,” Penny says, “because it encompassed everything that he spent his life doing-breeding and raising good horses. It’s through his leadership that Tule Ranch has won it and he certainly gets all of the credit.”

Haythorn Ranch Company is located in the Sandhills of Nebraska, along the Platte River Valley near Maxwell. It is comprised of 20,000 acres of grass, meadow hay, and sweet water from the Ogallala Aquifer. We are primarily a cow/calf operation running up to 1500 mother cows. The Haythorns have been ranching in the Nebraska Sandhills since 1884. Harry Haythornthwaite (later shortened to Haythorn) stowed away on a ship bound for the U.S.A. at the age of 16, and when found he was put to work caring for the Hereford bulls that were on board. Docking in Galveston, Texas, he went to work for the rancher who owned the bulls. He later made four cattle drives on the Western trail, two of which passed through Ogallala, Nebraska. Harry spent his wages on a livery stable in Ogallala where he met and

married Emma Gilpin. Harry and Emma filed on a homestead in 1884 thus beginning the long legacy of Haythorn Ranches. The Haythorns have been breeding American Quarter Horses since before the registry’s inception in 1940. We pasture breed 15 to 25 mares a year and run about 20 to 40 saddle horses in our remuda. Our horses are bred for use on the ranch, not to follow the whims of the market. They must have good bones and feet, plenty of muscle, a kind disposition and lots of cow sense. All this translates into versatile horses that can be used by a wide variety of people for anything that can be done on horseback. All of us at Haythorn Ranch are proud of our work and proud of our industry. Cowboys and horses have been part of the Haythorn Legacy for over 130 years and will continue to be for generations to come. Haythorn Ranch is entering the 6th generation of traditional ranching.

Four Sixes ranch PO Box 130, Guthrie, Texas 79236 806-596-4424 • 6666Ranch.com
The untamed, rugged land of Texas became home to legendary ranchers and cowboys as big and windy as the state itself. Among them was the Four Sixes Ranch. Legend has it that the history of the ranch began with a poker game and a winning hand of four sixes. In true Texas fashion, it does make a good story, but the real history of the Four Sixes began with Samuel Burk Burnett, who became one of the most influential and prosperous cattlemen in Texas. Born in Bates County, Missouri in 1849, Samuel Burk Burnett and his family moved from Missouri to Denton County, Texas after their home was destroyed in the Jayhawk raids of 1858. Burnett’s father, Jerry, became involved in the cattle business and Burk grew up watching and learning. At age 19, Burnett went into business for himself with the purchase of 100 head of cattle wearing the 6666 brand. With the title to the cattle came ownership of the brand. By 1874, Burnett had survived the panic of the previous year by holding over the winter, 1,100 steers. The next year, he sold the cattle for a profit of $10,000 and became one of the first ranchers in Texas to buy steers and graze them for market. Increasing his herd yet again, he soon saw the need to have control over the lands on which his cattle fed and began buying property. Drought conditions in the 1880s forced Burnett and other ranchers to go in search of grass for their cattle. The tribal lands of the Kiowa and Comanche, north of the Red River in Oklahoma, had not suffered the dry conditions which had devastated the range farther south. Burnett negotiated with Comanche chief Quanah Parker for the lease of the Indian lands. The much-needed lease continued until the early 1900s at which time the federal government ordered the land turned back to the tribes.

By the end of the 19th century, the open range was coming to an end. While individual land holdings fell, the Burnett Ranches grew steadily. A purchase of the 8 Ranch near Guthrie, Texas and the Dixon Creek Ranch marked the beginning of an empire. Burk Burnett’s son, Tom, followed in his father’s footsteps. Starting as a ranch hand, he had learned the cattle business in the 1880s and 1890s. By the turn of the century, Tom had already established himself as a respected cowboy and was on his way to becoming a cattle baron. In 1910, he acquired the 26,000-acre Triangle Ranch. He continued to expand his Triangle holdings, buying five ranches in the next 15 years, which were consolidated into one vast range of more than 100,000 acres. Tom Burnett died in 1938, leaving his estate to his only daughter, Anne Valliant Burnett. “Miss Anne” was known for her knowledge of cattle, horses and fine art. Under, “Miss Anne,” the most important change, other than the discovery of oil, for the Four Sixes Ranch was the addition of an equine breeding program in the 1960s. The ranch was very soon known for its world-class horses used for ranch work and competition, including Grey Badger II and Hollywood Gold, from which many top racers and cutting horses were descended. Upon the death of “Miss Anne” in 1980, her daughter, Anne W. Marion, assumed management of the Four Sixes Ranch. Mrs. Marion is known for her interest in the ranches and their good management. At a young age, she spent summers on the Four Sixes, earning the respect of the cowboys as she learned to ride horses and understand ranch life. She is likewise highly regarded as an arts patron and shrewd businesswoman.

Tongue RiveR ranch TJ Roberts • 205 Ranch road, Paducah, TX 79248 • 806-596-4641 • Fax: 806-596-4791 • TongueRiverRanch.net In 1898, Eric and Albin Swenson purchased the 79,000 acre Scab 8 Ranch. The ranch was located in the excellent ranch country of King, Cottle, Motley and Dickens counties. The brothers renamed it Tongue River Ranch (TRR) because of its location on the Tongue (South Pease) River, aptly named in reference to black tongue, a nineteenth century disease which wiped out many buffalo in the region. Folklore also states that the many different Indian tribes in the area nicknamed the river “River of Many Tongues” which was later shortened to Tongue River. Present day owner, Millard Morris purchased Tongue River at its current size of 89,000 acres in 1997, and added the 30,000 acre Big Baldy New Mexico division in 2007. Paramount to the Tongue River Ranch operation is their outstanding horse program. Tongue River Ranch has concentrated

on raising horses that are not only well built animals but are, above all, highly intelligent and incredible athletes. This is evidenced by the fact that the Tongue River Ranch Quarter Horses have led us to 9 WRCA finals, which included two Top Horse Titles. Tongue River Ranch Quarter Horses have also received Champion and Reserve Champion Titles at the RHAA finals held in Abilene, Texas. We have been privileged to have been awarded the most Top Horse Awards in the 3 largest and most recognized Ranch Rodeos in Texas: Best of the West Invitational Ranch Rodeo at the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo, Texas Ranch Roundup in Wichita Falls, Texas, and the Western Heritage Classic in Abilene, Texas.

spade ranches, ltd. Wesley M. Welch • 4412 74th Street, suite a101, Lubbock, TX 79424 • 806-687-6005 • spadeRanches.com The Spade Ranch legacy began more than 120 years ago, in 1889, when DeKalb, Illinois, natives Colonel Isaac Ellwood and his son, W.L. Ellwood, made a simple business trip to West Texas. In 1874 Ellwood became one of the original patent holders of barbed wire when he and his neighbor developed an economical way to keep livestock out of the area’s many farms. The invention quickly changed the Midwest farmland, but the Ellwoods saw a burgeoning market in the vast expanses of the West Texas plains. Among the ranchers the Ellwoods met were the Snyder brothers. The brothers must have been shrewd businessmen themselves because not only did they resist Ellwood’s sales pitch, they convinced him to buy their 130,000-acre ranch. By the 1960’s the Spade Ranches began a planned crossbreeding program in the cow-calf operation that continues today-although adjusting with changing market demand. Today, the ranches use composite bulls (Simnn/Angus and Balancer) crossing the heifers

from one mating to the other composite. This maintains a high level of heterosis while producing a uniform calf crop, a stable breed composition and eliminating the need to buy replacement heifers from other sources. Today’s horse breeding program crosses the daughters of their own son of Peptoboonsmal with their son of High Brow Cat and vice versa. The objective is to use unrelated bloodlines to produce functional ranch horses with lots of cow sense and bottom. The Spade Ranches today consist of six outfits: the original Renderbrook Spade in Mitchell, Sterling and Coke counties; Borden Spade in Borden County; Wagon Creek Spade in Throcknnorton County; North Spade in Briscoe and Motley counties; Panhandle Spade in Roberts County and Alpine Spade in Brewster and Presidio counties, totaling about 275,000 acres. Wesley Welch is the President and C.E.O. of Spade Ranches and the board of directors include five great-great grandchildren of Isaac Ellwood along with outside directors.
