BLACKBURN STEEL BUCK
​

BLACKBURN STEEL BUCK was sold after our breeding season in 2020. He is an outstanding stallion and has given us so many beautiful, well bred keeper babies, that it was time for him to produce for another program where he was needed. It was a sad day to watch Buck and a few of his mares leave our ranch, but they will continue the Blackburn legacy in the eastern part of the United States. We kept a few mares that are bred to Buck for 2021 foals and we cannot wait to meet them!
