Quarter Moon Code Red. North Gate Farm Senior herdsire. Sire: Circle C Red Tape (NMDA National Get of Sire winner. Get of Sire is the prestigious award given to a herdsire based solely on the quality of his offspring and is the highest honor a herdsire can acheive). Dam: Sunset Acres Bette Midler. Paternal grandsire SS Red Lightning (World champion Get of Sire winner at the 2004 show in Calgary, Alberta Canada). Maternal Grandsire: LN Redsonnehi (Champion). As we searched for excellence in our future herd sire it was with great excitement that we found Quarter Moon Code Red. A top quality young jack, he had everything we wanted to pass on to our future foals all in one package. A sorrel with superb conformation and personality plus, Code Red brings into our herd a combination of genetics from Circle C Livestock in Canada and Quarter Moon Ranch in Texas, along with some of the best from the Nissen Ranch in Iowa coming to him through his grandsire. Code Red began his show career at the age of 13 months by being in the ribbons at halter during the 2004 NMDA Nationals at Waco, Texas. We anticipate that this boy will show excellence in the show ring and will give us some outstanding foals in the coming years.

News Flash!! Code Red wins 3rd in Jacks at Halter at the Houston Livestock Show on March 12th, 2005!! His placing 3rd was especially pleasing to us due to the fact that he is now only 20 months of age and was competing in a large class that included many fully mature jacks. A big thank you to Code Red's exceptional trainer Kathy Loudamy for schooling him so well. And another thank you to Wayne Lyon for showing Cody to this great win!!

Expect Code Red's foals to arrive next spring, 2006.
