"Tater"  is owned by Elizabeth Green, owner of EZG Performance Horses of Iowa City, IA.  He is officially nominated for the Iowa Breeders Cutting Futurity and is now listed as a breeding stallion on their website.  The Iowa Breeders Cutting Futurity was organized in 1991 to promote Iowa Resident Owned or Syndicated Stallions and their offspring with their eligibility for the Nominated Futurity, Maturity, Classic/Challenge Classes for ages 3,4,5 and 6 respectively.  The 2010 purse is $8000 added money and there are 3 year old additional Incentive payments, 2009, it was $1000 for the 3 year old futurity finalist.  All offspring will be able to participate in the Iowa Breeders Cutting Guturity when they come of age.  There is also a stallion service auction which a breeding from Tater will be donated to from the 2011 breeding season.  His owner is offering a free breeding to Tater or a stud fee 'refund' with proof of any foal owned by the original breeder who wins points or recognition in certain organizations or certain events.  The Iowa Breeders Cutting Futurity is one of these events.  For further information about the Iowas Breeders Cutting Guturity please contact Virginia Williams, the Secretary/Treasurer of the Association.  Tater is a good-looking, well put together stallion who has a winning disposition to go with his winning bloodlines.  His owner has plans to show him as a 4 year old, after getting a small crop of foals on the ground out of a few quality mares here in California, and across the U.S.  He will be standing here at The Lewis Ranch Stallion Station in  2010 and will be taught to mount the phantom for collection into an AV for on farm artificial insemination, cooled shipped semen across the country, as well as frozen semen to preserve this tremendous bloodline forever.   His introductory stud fee will be just $500 with a $50 booking fee that goes toward that stud fee.  Mare care is $7/day for a dry mare and $9/day for a wet mare (with a foal at her side).  The cost for cooled shipped semen shipped via Fed Ex is only $175 to anywhere in the U.S.  We offer Early Bird Discounts of $50 off the stud fee of this stallion when booked by January 1st, each year as well as multiple mare and referral discounts of $50 each (mares can be booked to different stallions), so tell your friends about our stallions and you can each take $50 off any stallion's stud fee just by referring a friend or being referred by one. There will be a Live Foal Guarantee with all breedings to this stallion and we will also offer a Live Colored Foal Guarantee to any APHA Regular registry paint mares, with a $100 "Insurance"  fee paid with the current year's stud fee.  This $100 Insurance fee would give you the right to rebreed your mare again to this stallion, with no charge for the stud fee the following year, if your foal from that mating were to be a solid paint-bred foal and not have enough paint markings for regular registry with APHA.   This foal would still be an APHA solid paint-bred registered foal, with full APHA registration papers, but this rebreed would give you a second chance to get another  foal with color and regular APHA registry status.  Normal rebreeding expenses will apply such as mare care and shipping charges (in a case of shipped semen), and the rebreed must be done the same breeding season the solid paint- bred foal is born. Tater arrived at The Lewis Ranch Stallion Station on the 19th of October in time for our Open House/Stallion Preview on Saturday October 24th.  Please scroll down to view his pedigree and print contracts for this stallion in pdf format.      Munez Smokin Tater          Breeding Contract Shipped Semen Addendum Mare Information Form   You may pay your stud fee using a credit card/ATM/or checking account by clicking on the paypal button below or you can  mail a check to: Tina Lewis 19909 Ave 376 Woodlake, Ca  93286 Pay with Paypal using a credit card, ATM or check.
