Raising and Selling Registered Quarter Horses from 1959 to 2026!

Hello and welcome to the Lazy JS Ranch website!  We are a family-based ranch located in Bowman, North Dakota, in a beautiful area of the southwest corner of our state. We have been having our annual Quarter Horse production sale for 67 consecutive years.  Our horses have gone on to excel at ranch work and in arenas across the country.  We have bred world show qualifiers, working cow horse and snaffle bit winners as well as reining, roping and barrel race winners.  Most of our mares have been ridden and used for ranch work.  We are AQHA Ranching Heritage Breeders so foals are eligible for those events as well.

This year's production sale will be held on Saturday, August 15, 2026, at Bowman Livestock Marketing, with the sale beginning at 6 p.m. MT.    The sale will also be live-streamed on CattleUSA and DVAuction.  We'll be selling our 2026 foal crop along with several guest consignors.  Their information can be found under the 2026 tab on the main menu.

​​​​

We strive to instill foundational training on our foals, working hard to make sure they are halter broke before leaving the ranch.  All foals will have been tied, vaccinated, dewormed, and Coggins tested by sale day.  We will be taking pictures of the foals at the end of June.  You will be able to see pictures and videos of the foals at www.facebook.com/lazyjsranch so be sure to follow the page.   You will also be able to view pictures and pedigrees on the website under the 2026 Sale Entries tab starting the beginning of July after catalog pictures are taken.   

The ranch is located seven miles NE of Bowman.  Make sure you join us at the ranch on sale day and view the foals with their mothers.  Lunch will be served so join us for some North Dakota hospitality!  We look forward to seeing you on sale day, Saturday, August 15th!
