Sales Prep
Sales Prep occurs from late May through September with most of the yearlings at Elm Tree Farm being sold at the prestigious Fasig-Tipton July Sale and the world-famous Keeneland September Sale, both in Lexington, and at regional sales such as the Fasig-Tipton Texas Sale for Louisiana-bred yearlings. In September, weanlings and broodmares are prepared for the November Mixed Bloodstock Sale at Keeneland. In addition, other horses will be sold at the Keeneland January Sale.
Elm Tree Farms takes pride in offering one of the best and most comprehensive and respected sales preparation programs not only in Kentucky, but in the entire industry.
