I know this more about dogs than horses but generally you can boost the value of them (and their offspring) by entering them into competitions and getting titles
For dogs that's usually evenly split between conformation (the himbo competiton, how pretty your dog is/how much they conform to breed standard - think Westminister Kennel Club), and dog sports (a good way to demonstrate health, instinct, and working skills - agility, obedience, rally obedience, specialized ones for your type of dog like barn hunt (terriers), herding (sheepdogs), lure coursing (greyhounds), etc - some of this is displayed at Krufts but there's a lot of competitions that are their own thing)
Every title raises the value of your dog (and their offspring) so breeders will have dogs basically do a rotation through a bunch of shows and will even pay handlers to be the ones to take all their dogs through 'em, and the value estimate increases based on their lineage and how much their parents/grandparents won. You also get titles that are based on the number of points they've won at a collection of shows, so you want to get them in as many as possible if you want to demonstrate your dog's value (and therefore your skill as a breeder)
(Some competitions are particularly valuable if you're looking for something specific in a working dog too. We look for Belgians and GSDs as our family breeds, so agility titles are a great sign of good breeding - both breeds commonly develop hip dysplasia, agility puts a lot of force on the joints, so if a dog tests great for hips despite having agility titles then the risk of hip dysplasia in the puppies is a lot lower)
I would assume horse value goes up similarly but they obviously start with a higher base cost and survive much longer/can enter far more shows and races etc
i wonder how hard it would be to sell fake horse semen to dumb millionaires
someone make that movie
Not really related, but I remember being shocked years ago when I walked in on a coworker looking at a webpage to order pig semen online. Or maybe it was bull jizz? Either way, it makes sense that people that raise livestock would sell their animal's sperm online because it's hella convenient, but I had never once considered the possibility.

This actually does happen in dog stuff but like, mostly as a way to get breeder pairings from dogs that have passed, I've only really heard of one litter that did artificial insemination (but I'm sure it happens more often than that)
A lot cheaper to just set two dogs up in a field and let nature do the thing
There's absolutely a huge market and an industry dedicated to ummm milking bulls, transporting their semen hundreds of miles in special containers, then artificially inseminating heifers.
So, some folks got hold of the member rolls for the oathkeepers. Of over 38,000 members, there were more than 370 active police and sheriffs on the list (shocked face).
I'm actually really annoyed by this article/data leak because it doesn't say who they are, and I can't find a source that does. This isn't helpful! Don't give me the boogeyman of elected officials in a white supremacist group with a seemingly exact number and then not say who they are!
Like you can go by state and see how many but again, what does that do to help? I'm just generally aware now? These are public officials, just release their names and let them argue about why they're on the list.

This is one of the things that drives me nuts. People so fucking afraid to name names. That's how people keep getting away with shit.
people reacting to the semen stuff always crack me up cuz it's like what y'all, how did you think you got new livestock? romantic music?
I didn't think they mailed jizz. I thought they just all kinda knew each other in the area and loaded up their prize bull/boar on a trailer whenever someone wanted their cow/sow knocked up with super special semen.

Our dogs breeders do this all the time, because they're trying to reinvigorate the breed after a genetic bottleneck post war, which means sourcing and mingling from long separated pools. Uschi and Ziggy's dad is Finnish!
It's even more common to do this with horses, because shipping them around costs $$$. In fact racehorse breeders will never do it any other way.
Most large or pedigree livestock insemination has been done by hand since at least the 1800s, if not earlier. Safer, more reliable, cheaper, less chance of someone taking offense and biting a chunk out of your prize thoroughbred....

There's a HS code for it, and everything, so it can be properly handled for customs and stuff:
"On the farm, we used to give first-calf heifers a high protein supplement to help them deliver healthier calves," he said in a statement to BuzzFeed News. "The supplement was provided by our vet."
Since Liz is a vet, "I assumed that there would be a similar supplement for dogs," Davis said.
"So Jon is drinking a protein-enriched drink formulated for a pregnant dog."
That's why Liz mentions the "healthy" litter Jon would have — because he had just drunk a supplement for pregnant dogs, not dog semen.

so jim davis also drank dog semen and is trying to cover it up in the worst way possible

They are proportionally more terrifying than large dogs imo
My friends own a great pyrenees though and he's pretty chill. His name is Merlin. Too much dog for their back yard though.

I met someone recently that was talking about how she wanted to get a cane corso and I looked them up and went nope.
