CUTTER STARTED OUT HIS LIFE ON A RANCH IN COLORADO. WHEN THE GENTLEMAN WHO BRED AND RAISED HIM PASSED AWAY, CUTTER WAS BEQUEATHED TO THE GENTLEMAN'S NIECE WHO LIVED WITH HER FAMILY IN METEETSEE, WYOMING. THEY HAD NEVER HAD A HORSE AND MORE SPECIFICALLY, NOT A 3 YEAR OLD STUD. THEY TOOK HIM HOME AND PUT HIM IN THEIR BACK YARD AND THERE HE SAT FOR THE NEXT 7 YEARS. IT IS A TRIBUTE TO THIS FINBE STALLIONS DISPOSITION THAT THEY ALLOWED THEIR CHILDREN TO PLAY WITH HIM, RODE HIM BAREBACK TO TOWN AND LIVE COVERED A GRAND TOTAL OF 6 MARES, (ONLY 1 OF WHICH WAS REGISTERED)
AND NO SINGLE PERSON WAS EVER INJURED!
AT THE AGE OF NINE, A WOMAN FROM COWLEY, WYOMING AND HER FRIEND FROM LOVELL, WYOMING, HAD HEARD ABOUT HIM AND DROVE OUT TO SEE HIM. THEY KNEW RIGHT OFF HE WAS HOMOZYGOUS AND THAT HIS OWNER DID NOT HAVE A CLUE AS TO THE HORSE'S INTRINSIC VALUE. HONEST THEY WERE AND THEY EXPLAINED TO HIM ABOUT HOMOZYGOSITY AS WELL AS LETTING HIM KNOW THAT THE HORSE WAS A WONDERFUL INDIVIDUAL WITH A GREAT WORKING PEDIGREE. THEY ARRANGED TO LEASE HIM FOR 1 YEAR. WHILE THEY HAD HIM, GAIL HOLMES OF DOUBLE DOVE RANCH, LONGMONT COLORADO, CAME TO SEE FOALS THAT THE WOMAN HAD FOR SALE IN COWLEY. SHE WAS IMMEDIATELY TAKEN WITH CUTTER AND WANTED TO SPEAK TO THE OWNER. GAIL HAS SOME OF THE FINEST HORSES IN THE NCHA AND A BAND OF BROODMARES THAT MOST WOULD KILL FOR!
ALONG WITH BENNY MARTINEZ, SIERRA OKAS RANCH, CALIF. & OWNER OF DOCS HICKORY, THEY BOUGHT CUTTER (AT A PRICE ABOVE 30,000!) AND HE TRAVELED TO LONGMONT COLORADO. WHILE THERE, HE BRED SOME OF THE FINEST MARES THAT THE CUTTING WORLD HAS TO OFFER. AT THE END OF THREE YEARS, WITH DAUGHTERS TO KEEP BACK, GAIL & BENNY DONATED HIM TO THE CSU BREEDING PROGRAM. THIS YEAR, CSU IS CUTTING THE NUMBER OF STALLIONS THEY STAND DOWN TO FIVE, SO THEY ELECTED TO SELL 14 OF THE OLDEST. THIS IS HOW, AT THIS POINT IN TIME, CRAIG & KAREN MARIS OF DOUBLE CK LIVESTOCK & CARRIAGE, CAME TO OWN HIM. CRAIG HAD BOOKED TWO MARES TO HIM AT CSU WHEN HE FOUND OUT HE WAS FOR SALE. CRAIG HAD PREVIOUSLY SEEN THE TERRIFIC BABIES OUT OF THIS STUD AND HAD ALWAYS ADMIRED HIM. OWNING CUTTER IS A "DREAM COME TRUE" FOR CRAIG & KAREN. THEY HAVE DECIDED TO LOWER HIS STUD FEE TO ENABLE MORE MARE OWNERS TO BREED. THIS IS A BIG CHANCE FOR YOU MARE OWNERS TO "TAKE A STEP UP" IN QUALITY IN THE PERFORMANCE HORSES YOU ARE TRYING TO BREED.
CUTTER HAS SEMEN THAT IS UNBELIEVABLE...GREAT MOTILITY, CONCENTRATION & "SHELF LIFE". HE IS A PROLIFIC PRODUCER AND THERE IS ENOUGH SEMEN, EXTENDED, TO INSEMMINATE 20 MARES IF YOU NEEDED TO! HE IS ABOVE ALL ELSE, A TRUE GENTLEMAN AND A JOY TO BE AROUND. HE PRODUCES FOALS WITH OUTSTANDING DISPOSITIONS, BEAUTY, TALENT, COW, HEART, GOOD BONE, FAULTLESS CONFORMATION AND A VERY MARKETABLE PEDIGREE. YOU WILL LOVE YOUR "CUTTER" FOALS...AND YOU WILL COME BACK FOR MORE! |
