Testimonials
Colby and his team helped the Wild Sheep Foundation break six new state and provincial records for special permit bids including a new World Record bid for the Montana Bighorn License at $480,000! Colby and his team bring a level of auction professionalism, enthusiasm, and energy unmatched in the conservation and hunting industry.
Colby Gines and his crew at MM Auction Services were a great addition to our event. For years we had tried different ways to add energy and excitement to our auctions with very limited success. As a non-profit organization, our auction is our main source of income, and MM Auction Services has that special knack of being able to get a few more bids out of every item. The professionalism that they have is second to none, and with all their experience they were able to give us pointers and recommendations that we will use to make our event even better. We used to have attendees come up to us after our events and tell us that “we were trying to bid, but the spotters didn’t see us.” We were obviously leaving bids in the room, and that is not the way to raise money. I know for sure that every person in the crowd that was trying to bid, Colby and his guys saw their hands and did their familiar yell! Our items were definitely selling for higher amounts! Bringing in MM Auction Services was one of the best decisions that we made. They definitely added the energy and excitement that we were looking for.
The enthusiasm and excitement generated by the team of ring men contributed to a higher level of interest and attention on the part of auction attendees. The higher level and attention resulted in significant increases in revenue for the chapter. Colby Gines is a true professional in every respect.
MM Auction Services are a key component of our annual fundraising auction activities. Colby and his crew keep things moving and really motivate the buyers to get in there and bid. They work seamlessly with our auctioneer and the staff so the audience sees a coordinated team running the auction. Perhaps the most important thing they do is to make it FUN for everybody there. We highly recommend MM Auction Services…they are definitely worth it!
Colby Gines and MM Auctions were instrumental in increasing our profits and overall excitement at the 2015 Pope and Young Convention Auction. The crew from MM enthusiasm was contagious as they interacted with the large crowd urging on bidders. Having MM help with our auction was the single best thing we have done since hiring a professional auctioneer decades ago. I would strongly recommend their services to enhance any size auction.
Thanks for providing us with your ring crew services during our annual auction. We appreciate your professionalism, knowledge and assistance in helping our clients enter their bids. Your energy and enthusiasm helps to keep the bidding lively and exciting for our bidders. We look forward to working with you for our annual auction next year. It’s certainly been a great return on our investment.
Thanks so much to MM Auction Services for the great service we’ve had from you for both the ring services as well as the live internet streaming and online bidding that you provide for us. The additional exposure through internet streaming gave us not only better exposure but increased our sales. Thank you for creating a great avenue to bring our auction to the technology highway. We look forward to working with you again in 2017 by offering another service to our clients and a great way for expanding our business.
The value of MM Auction Services goes without saying. Their talents, professionalism and energy have made a significant difference to our bottom line. At the end of the day, results must be accountable and have a measure of impact to justify the investment. We are proud to have forged this partnership and genuinely regard their services to be a staple for furthering our mission.
West Fork Ranch, Amy Heitland and Shane Vaughan, brought a beautiful finished show horse to the sale last year. Our granddaughter has had a fun and successful show season on him. He has been everything they said he would be. Dreams come true at the Diamond in the Desert Sale.
Very professional and dialed in. Screens the horses really well. Last year I participated in the Diamond in the Desert Sale and bought one of the best horses I have ever owned, and I have owned plenty! The horse was exactly as advertised if not better. MM Auction screened these horses really well and were helpful from the purchase to the delivery. I was not able to attend last year and bought the horse via the internet with no problems what so ever. This year I will be there. It will be hard to find another horse like the one I bought last year, as he is one of those "once in a lifetime" horses, but if there is another one chances are he will be at the Diamond in the Desert Sale.
My grandpa bought a horse at the first annual sale in Las Vegas. He is an amazing horse, he is exactly as they represented him to be. He is one that everyone enjoys. It was an amazing sale that was very organized, honest, and smooth running!
Every event I’ve been to has been top notch. Great horses represented, a very professionally ran program and I would definitely recommend them for your next big sale.
I attended the Diamonds in the Desert sale this year and it was truly amazing. A sale ran with class and with the buyer’s best interest in mind. I was very impressed.
It was awesome! Codi and Colby were terrific along with all their staff. Loved Las Vegas, Can't wait for Bryce Canyon. They are a true bunch of folks and won't steer you wrong on a horse or mule. They handpick clients and their stock, very easy to work with. They are upper class, sincere folks in everything they do. Heck just look at their kids, well behaved, working kids, well mannered, they do a fantastic job. Trust these folks in whatever they tell you.
Top notch horse sale and what a crew to work with! We sold a horse this past December and felt like it was diamond quality. What a fun experience. These horses are what they are marketed to be and Gines make sure of that.
Amazing sale horses!!! Not to mention a fantastic staff. They couldn’t have been a better group of people to deal with!!!
Honest and horses are exactly what they represent them to be. So happy with the 3 I bought.
Recommend them 1000 times over! We consigned our horses to the 2019 Diamonds in the Desert sale. Our first sale ever! Codi was MORE than accommodating for us! She answered every question I had, no matter the time of day. She helped us through the entire process of getting our horses settled and into the best home we could have imagined! They strive to produce the best sale in the US and they have succeeded! They go above and beyond for their buyers to help ensure they will be bringing home a safe, sound, and reliable partner! Not only that, but they really make a consigner feel at ease that their horses are going to find the best home and be marketed in front of thousands of people. Talk about taking the extra step to make sure your horses are seen by a massive audience. We can’t wait to consign with Premier Horse Sales again!
I thought you would like this picture of Dun It Hangen on the Santa Anita Racetrack at sunrise. He is staying at the track with my friend and race trainer Kristin Mulhall for a month until my back heals and I can bring him up to Pebble Beach. So far he is taking in track life well, just like he does everything else. As Duane Yoder said, if you ask Dun It what he has done, he will answer "I Dun It"!
After riding and competing on jumpers for over 50 years, when I got bucked off a bad horse a couple months ago and injured badly, I really thought my riding days were over. I told Kristin for me to get back on she had to find me something amazing and I think we did just that!
Many thanks again for running a great auction that enabled us to get this super horse!
Working for a conservation group, we were looking for a way to take our live auctions to the next level, bring energy to the auctions and make these a featured event. We had MM Auction Service take care of our Southwest Wyoming Chapter live auction several years back and saw an immediate difference. More money raised, professional service and dealing with great people. The Muley Fanatic Foundation highly recommends MM Auction Service. Give them a try and you won't be disappointed.
These guys are top notch in their trade. We've had them at our Southwest Chapter MFF banquet for 3yrs now, and I look forward to seeing them every year. You won't find a better group of people to work with. They make the auction fun, and definitely drive up the bids more than you will get with just volunteers in the crowd as spotters. Give Codi a call and you won't regret it.
MM Auction Service did an outstanding job for us at the Northeast Wyoming REMF banquet. I would highly recommend them for any auction you may need. They are very professional in everything they do. Great people and great service.
Park County Public Works Department recommends MM Auction Services LLC: "We used Premier Online Sales as our online auction platform for our recent surplus equipment sale for Park County, Wyoming. We found the platform to be very clean, organized and easy to access for both the seller and our buyers. In particular we liked the way we are able to organize and compile sale items by category and department. This was very important as we sold items from multiple departments that have different operational budgets. Overall our auction was very successful. The team at M&M Auction Services and Premier Online Sales exceeded our expectations."
"MM Auction Services brought energy and professionalism to the 36th Annual Idaho Wild Sheep Foundation Banquet and Fundraiser. The crew is outstanding and very easy to work with from start to finish. The Idaho WSF highly recommends MM Auction Services and, we look forward to working with them in 2022."
Batman after a day of work, a bath and a turn out. He has been great! Fits right in and is all you said. We are very pleased with him. Thank you Caden Gines with Milliron 7 Equine for a great horse.
We couldn’t be happier with our sweet boy Gin! He is such a special boy, my daughter had an instant connection with him from the very beginning and it just keeps getting stronger. He is such a well trained horse who has a steady temperament. He is gentle, calm, responsive, and all around the perfect fit for us. His canter is smooth and family trail rides with him are so enjoyable. Thank you Jared Meyer Performance Horses for producing such a perfect addition to our family 🥰🐴❤️ And to Premier Horse Sales for bringing so many quality horses to choose from. In fact, we brought home 3 others as well and they are all a wonderful addition to the family ranch!
Turner Performance Horses are even better than advertised. Since I purchased Kash he has been the perfect horse – from training and personally to soundness. Chad and Paje have consistently followed up with me to see how we are doing which shows their love for their horses and their care for their customers. I would recommend them to anyone
The Ride the Wave sale was excellent and my first auction. I saw many beautiful horses. I purchased Dundee from Turner Performance Horses. He has been a great addition to my herd. He is such a great horse that you can get him amped up to work a cow and then quickly come down and be so calm. I was at a cow clinic with him this past weekend and he was chilling by the side of the arena when some fence panels that were leaning against the arena crashed down very close to where he was standing. He never moved. I almost wondered if he heard it. Other horses and cows all side stepped and darted away but Dundee stood and never moved from where we had left him -he was only ground tied by the way. It is certainly a relief to know that the horses auctioned off at the sale were vetted and were exactly as they were represented. We are so happy to have Dundee with us. He’s got a great personality and I plan on continuing to nourish it and encourage his curiosity and playfulness. Thanks Chad and Paige and to Premier Horse Sales for helping me find my dream horse.
She’s the most beautiful and gentle horse in the world. I’m crazy about her! I’ve been looking for this horse my entire life! I honestly thought that if she was half as good as advertised, I’d be thrilled. Sarah and Mozaun could not have been more honest. They hand delivered a horse that was not only supremely trained and super safe, she is the sweetest horse I’ve ever met. Thank you Sarah and Mozaun! You guys are the real deal!
He is amazing and so gentle and kind! The Brinkley family are truly amazing trainers two toes (Merada Yellow Sky) is actually what they said he is! 😍
This is the first time I have bought a horse at auction and he was exactly as Paige and Chad Turner described him in their video. He is so well trained and they captured his sense of humor and intelligence beautifully. I would buy another horse from them because I trust them to deliver what they say they will.
Bought this fellow for my beginner husband & Mickey has been the most careful, kind & forgiving individual. He is not for sale.
It’s rare to get get an individual who is handsome, broke to death and trustworthy for the entire family.
Purchased Mr Ed at the Premier auction held at the world Equestrian Center in Ocala, Fl. The entire event was extremely nice. The venue is over the top nice and the horses sold at the auction were as well. Mr Ed was trained by Matt Mardis and his son Cotton Mardis from MM horses out of Kingston, Oklahoma. Mr. Ed was very well represented by Matt. He is extremely well trained, gentle and sound. Looking to put him to work on our cattle ranch in Osceola County, Fl. I know several people who have purchased horses from Matt Mardis and all are extremely happy. Matt and his family are stand up folks.
Looking forward to many years of fun with him. This will be my second horse purchased from Premier Horse Sales and Duane Yoder of Buckeye Acre Farms. Many thanks for this special boy! I love both horses and you guys have the best auction services around!!
I recently purchased Lot # 26, DUNITDOC WINDCHESTER, at the Fort Worth Best of Texas Premier Horse Sale and I am writing to let you know how very happy I am with everything about the auction, from pre-auction videos, onsite performance demonstrations and meet & greet, to the assistance and advice provided by your staff during and after the auction. In particular I would like to recognize Ty; he was extremely informative, cheerful, and astute in helping me bid on the horse I wanted. I don’t think I would have gotten my horse if not for him. Thank you, Ty!
I also want to recognize the excellent experience I have had with the trainer and consignor, Stefaan Bultinck. I have to tell you that Mr. Bultinck has been nothing but helpful and informative, not only at the sale but up through today. The horse is trained as advertised, has a perfect disposition for me, has no medical problems, and is an easy keeper. Mr. Bultinck has been forthcoming with information on feed, tack, previous training, and is clearly interested in the well being of the horse. Basically, he will answer every question I have had after the sale promptly. If I am ever in the market for another horse, one trained by Mr. Bultinck would be at the top of my list. I couldn’t have dreamed of a better experience for me as a first-time auction buyer!
Thank you again,
Laurie
We purchased Oceans from Turner Performance Horses at Diamonds in the Desert Premier Horse Sale – Las Vegas. We just wanted to let you know he is doing great and we’re in love with him! My daughter rode him today gathering cows. The tornados were close but we were fine! We had quite a few trees down but no real damage. Hope y’all are well and congrats on the honor of Premier Trainer at the sale!
Hi there – I just wanted to let you know we bought JK Pat from you through
Buckeye Acre Farms (Duane Yoder). He is now living in the beautiful Hill
Country of Texas! It’s our second horse from Buckeye Acres and JK exceeded
our expectations in every way. We are so astounded we were able to get him
and just over the moon. He is, as so often happens, more incredibly
beautiful in person. We trust Duane and Buckeye Acres – they have always
been very supportive, nice and have what I feel is a world-class training
program. Thank you!
My first year at Bryce Canyon Mule Days and man did I enjoy the trail rides! I also came to watch the sale…. “watch” and came home with Rafter F Truly! I have several very special mules, I show at Bishop Mule Days and local mule shows, really enjoy that side of my mules. They are all great trail riding mules also, but I don’t like new riders on them, trail riding is what I do at my ranch on the lower Salmon River in Idaho. Steep country, lots of wildlife. Decided at Chrome in the Canyon I needed one more mule to feel I could turn over to anyone. Right in front of me was Truly. My good friends, the Fournier’s, had never talked about her before with me, but knew they had put a bunch of training and obstacles in front of her all year long. At Chrome both Matt and Pam said if that is what you want, calm, secure, never a spooky, trustful, strong and wonderful of all, sweet and she’s gorgeous! You need to buy Truly. I decided that morning of the sale she was the one, the fun part is I did not tell the Fournier’s. So they were surprised as others. I have always trusted their word, they have always guided me in the right direction and listened …
Here’s Huck on one of our many trail rides. Absolutely loving both him and Moon!
The best place to buy a mule from honest people! This is my husbands and my first mule and we couldn’t be happier. Very impressed with the consigners and their honesty about what their mule is. We hit the jackpot with Ruby Jane from Mark and Callie Rodgers of Red Dirt Bison Co. She is exactly what they said she was. The entire event was well organized and the people were all friendly. Can’t wait to come back and participate in the week activities of Bryce Canyon Mule Days!
Bryce Canyon Mule Days is a BLAST!! This is the 3rd year we have attended and its such a fun and well run event. The Mecham family are truly wonderful people!! Chrome in the Canyon Mule Sale: I would highly recommend purchasing a mule from this sale. The mules are all put through various tests and if they don’t perform….They are taken out of the sale. I purchased Brenda a 5 yr old Black molly mule from Enos Borntrager (Rocky Ridge Mule Farm). I Love, Love, Love her. Immediately after the sale we continued on a 3 week trip riding throughout Utah. We spent the whole trip boondocking. Brenda handled everything (highlining, hours in the trailer, steep cliffy trails, rivers) absolutely bomb proof!! I’ve had her home in Washington now for a couple weeks and put her through the test. You couldn’t find a mule with a better mind and Enos put a excellent handle on her! I can’t say enough. She is exactly what he told me. By the way Brenda is the 4th mule we have purchased from Enos and we Love them all! I buy from him for a reason. Enos Borntrager is honest!! I’ll be riding her on all our pack trips this year:)
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I never got a chance to tell you how much I appreciate all you did to make the sale such a success. You also made it a real positive experience for my son Logan. He got to meet some really great people. They treated him really well and he learned a lot from talking to them. He was really excited about the lady that bought Sundance. She has texted and emailed several times to thank him for the opportunity to own such a great mule. She had contacted us several times before the sale and we had been sending her videos and pictures for quite a while. She told him she thought he was the absolute best buy of the sale so you can imagine how that made him feel. She drove all the way from Oregon pulling a trailer just to buy him and ended up taking 2 or 3 others home with her. She was really impressed with the whole experience. I think he is hooked. Thanks again for all you did and all you do. I am a real fan.
Chrome in the Canyon is a first rate professional auction. Thanks for getting so many terrific mules to choose from. We couldn’t be happier with Liberty. She arrived safe & sound Sunday afternoon thanks Yoder Equine Transport. We’re already planning out summer wilderness adventures. Can’t wait to get her in to the high country!!
…And We Are Back!!! Year 2 and we could not be more excited to spend sometime in Tropic, Utah for an amazing Mule Sale! Last year was a very successful year for us Thanks to the hard work put forth by MM Auctions and we are happy to be back this year. Chrome In the Canyon Premier Mule Sale as part of Bryce Canyon Mule Days is THE place to be! Colby & Codi along with a standout crew work hard for us as consignors as well as the buyers. Bryce Canyon Mule Days puts on a Heck of a Show and provides excellent amenities, allowing for you to test ride your mule prospect right from the sale pens… Come See Us In Tropic!
I purchased Birdie (Jezzabelle) from Waugh Livestock, Jonathan and Sammi Waugh. I’ve been riding for 50 years, and Birdie is the first mule I have owned, no going back now! She is exactly what was represented, fun to be around, and great to ride. So grateful to have her!
