Mintse 384!!!!!!! He will be here in time for the spring breeding season. Contact us as soon as possible for a breeding contract. Call Janice at 616-896-6583 or Amy at 616-896-7258, cell phone 616-893-2964. Plan to have this exciting stallion be part of your breeding program.
Bob and Arlene De Boer and family."
