there was a pretty good article in the bloodhorse about 3 weeks ago that talked about the sales numbers....even though the median was up in nearly every session, the percentage of horses that were not considered profitable was also up...and stallion fees play a huge roll in that number....the worst percentages (which can be expected) occured in the highest and lowest stud fee ranges...in the current market not as many people seem willing to overbreed their mares for fear that they can't get out on the foal.
For a lot of breeders SC hasn't been profitable in years....
