Several men with horses stand in front of an open barn at a public horse sale for Army buyers at the Western Washington Fairgrounds, Puyallup, on October 20, 1941. Around 100 men, women and children attended the sale, mostly local farmers and ranchers. The Army was offering $150-175 for 4-8 year old geldings that were 15-16 hands high, 975-1150 pounds and strong of limb and wind. Only two of the thirty five horses inspected met their requirements.
