Callaway's Blue Norther Added to AAC Stallion Lineup
Sunday, January 4, 2009
Through the generosity of Ms. Tony Weldon and Callaway Hills Farm of New Bloomfield, Missouri, The All American Cup is honored to offer the stallion services to the great Callaway's Blue Norther in the January 24 AAC auction. His book is "closed to the public," never to be bred to outside mares again. He ships fresh cooled semen. Only through the All American Cup can a person acquire a service to this amazing stallion. The services of Blue Norther will be the first sold in the All American Cup Auction at approximately 6:45 pm on Saturday January 24.
The proceeds from the sale of Blue Norther semen will then be given to the Callaway Hills Animal Shelter, a 501-c-3 charity. Even though the proceeds from the AAC Auction sale will NOT go into the All American Cup "pot", the buyer, their broodmare, and the resulting foal will be completely eligible to the All American Cup competition.
Other exciting news includes the exclusive inclusion of all four stallions from the famous Happy Valley Farm, Rossville, GA, owned by Marion-"Bit" Hutcheson. The famous Merchant Prince is enrolled in the AAC Auction for the first time in five years. His list of World’s Champions is too long to list Also included is the famous son of Merchant Prince--the gorgeous I'm The Prince the sire of WGC Grande Gil. Also exclusive to the AAC are the beautiful Magical Me and Harlem's Friendly Conversation.

The painting will be of a horse of the winner’s choice. This drawing will be held at 6:00 pm. You do not have to be a bidder to win.
At 6:15, a second Drawing will be held for the "eligible" people who were buyers and stallion service donors in the 2008 AAC Auction and made their appropriate and timely mare declarations. There will be two Drawings for two $2500 All American Cup Youth Scholarships. These wonderful Scholarships are to be used only for college level purposes. Special arrangements will be made if any person of the Amish faith should be the winner.
It is planned that these All American Cup Youth Scholarships will be made annually. They are being provided, at no cost to the AAC, by Mrs. Linda Allen of Louisville, Kentucky, Mr. Oz Mutz of Lakeland Fl., and the third donor is Jim Aikman.
