* Extends additional stalking horse date to March 6
* Says consulted with creditors
March 3 (Reuters) - Bankrupt ethanol maker VeraSun Energy Corp filed a notice with a U.S. bankruptcy court on Monday extending the additional stalking horse date for three of its segments to March 6, court filings showed.
A stalking horse makes the lead bid at a bankruptcy auction and one is typically appointed to create a floor for the bidding.
The company earlier had until March 2 to select a qualified bidder for the ASA, US Bioenergy and Marion segments.
In its filing, VeraSun said it had consulted with its creditors before extending the deadline.
Last month, the company reached stalking horse deal with top U.S. refiner Valero Energy Corp to sell five production facilities for $280 million.
The case is In re VeraSun Energy Corp, No.08-12606 U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of Delaware.
