Quite a few list members have been really helpful in sharing information they personally know of some of these horses! We are also discussing how to identify each other specifically so we will not inadvertently bid against each other. There will be quite a few people from this list there, plus representatives from the UEF attending. I am sure we will be able to figure out how to identify each other. In our experience, with some careful observation, one can tell who the meat buyers are, yes. The UEF is only going to bid on those high risk Fjords, if any, that for whatever reason no one else is able to bid on. Remember, as of right now, there are 34 consigned Fjords going through that auction, they are still accepting consigned and un-consigned horses. Obviously, the UEF Fjord account only has the funds for a few Fjords and our hopes are that we do not have to purchase even one of them! Steve has been really nice to allow us to discuss this auction and the Fjords we know are going through, this way everyone on this list will know and hopefully, many will be there to bring a new Fjord home! We have our hands on a flyer, finally, so hopefully by tomorrow will be able to share the name, pedigree, training, and evaluation results, if any, on each member of this herd of Fjords with this list.
