2024 ＢＶ＆Ｄ ＳＣＨＯＬＡＲＳＨＩＰ
2024 “KIDS BID” Scholarship is the absolute BEST and a dream come true for the Blue Valentine & Driftwood Heritage Production Breeders.
As part of the annual BV&D Heritage Production Sale, this scholarship came from auctioning Lot 40, as the “KIDS BID ONLY.” 2021 was our very first-time allowing kids ages 16 & under only, to bid at the Blue Valentine and Driftwood Heritage Production Sale, in September, in Springfield, Missouri.
The BV&D scholarship was created with the intention of keeping our youth engaged and interested in agriculture and/or educating future generations. The idea for the “KIDS BID ONLY” came from an experience that JD Lauing, one of the BV&D breeders had when he was a kid and his father allowed him the opportunity to bid on and purchase a horse at an auction. The first-ever “KIDS BID ONLY” was so successful, the BV&D breeders’ group decided to use the proceeds to develop a scholarship fund for kids 17 and older that would be going to college for their freshman or sophomore year. The scholarship amount is $1,500 was first awarded in 2022.
Contact any of the breeders with your questions. LAUING RANCH Quarter Horses (South Dakota), Sunrise Farm Quarter Horses (Alabama), Moonshine Creek Quarter Horses (Arkansas).

Welcome to Lauing Ranch
Blunt, SD. Lauing Ranch strives to breed horses with superior conformation, pedigree, athletic ability, and disposition that can do anything and look great doing it.
Our horses and their pedigrees carry significant percentages of the blood of many legendary sires. Our goal is to produce top quality performance, using-type Quarter Horses for the ranch and the arena. We specialize in horses with good conformation with an emphasis on good feet, legs, athletic ability, good dispositions, and trainability. Our family began ranching in Central South Dakota in the early 1900s and as the third and fourth generations ranching here, it has taken years for us to build our program to the place where it stand today. Foals from our ranch go on to other breeding programs, to the arena for team roping, calf roping, team roping, team penning, barrel racing, cutting, and to be used as working ranch horses. These horses are mounting competitors from 4-H and Little Britches, High School and college, to the PRCA all across the country. They are cowy horses that are smooth moving across the pasture and quick on their feet in the arena. Horses raised here will do well anywhere.
