Purebred Horses born between 2010 and 2023. All Horses shall be registered with the American Quarter Horse Association. Horses with pending registration are not acceptable. Successful bidders shall be responsible for paying all necessary registration transfer fees. Registration papers shall be transferred to the TDCJ Agriculture Administration in active status. Upon completion of the transfer, registration papers should be mailed to:
TDCJ-Agribusiness, Attn: Kyle Weatherford PO Box 4013, Room 116, Huntsville, Tx 77342-4013.
Before the auction, a TDCJ agent will inspect all animals being considered for purchase for presence of physical problems that might limit the physical soundness and/or reproduction efficiency of the animals. Failure to complete the visual inspection will disqualify the animal from being purchased.
A supplement animal may be added only if notification is sent to my attention, prior to the auction.
If an animal is replaced at the last minute in the auction, the TDCJ cannot bid on that animal.
Sincerely, Daniela Castañeda, CTCD.
