Belica, you seem to be an eager owner-breeder who may be quite naive about what you are getting into. This breeding business is expensive, painful, and drawn-out. It takes many years between the decision to buy or breed a mare and the final outcome that could possibly result in a return on your investment.
In late June, there is no urgency to find stallions for your mares, because you are already at the end of the breeding season. Most stud farms have pretty well closed up by now, except for those who are desperate to breed their stallions for various reasons, some of which are not beneficial to you and your mares.
Please study the process a little longer, reassess your goals and financial plan for supporting your breeding business, and then see if each of your mares or if any of them actually fit into that plan. Often the best decision is to study, wait, and save up for one or two mares that are already in foal, whose pedigree and appearance should match well with the stallions that will help you reach your goals.
I am not pre-judging your expertise or your mares. It's the urgency that worries me. I'd love to save you some dollars and grief, while you develop a skill and confidence level.

How could I have known? 
Don't feel bad though. I sat there thinking, "How the heck are those two stallions on the same list?" and then I looked up the other ones
