[QUOTE="Sir Loin, post: 425327, member: 5601"] Milkmaid, Re: That’s a tough nut to crack. And it sure narrows the field of potential buyers as most people know nothing about cattle even when they are looking at them. And for sure they will ask you how much do they weigh so they can do their own math for their butcher bill and compute their cost per pound. The closest I ever came to a flat price per head were sold to a butcher who had an over the counter bisiness and a small meat packer who both had their own buyers that would come out and look at the cattle and give you a lot price and a check when they were delivered or picked up. But then you are not selling to the end user and therefore not getting top dollar. You are just cutting out the sale barn and going to a distributor. If you don’t mind me asking: How many animals per year are we talking about? Your best guess of weight and breed. You might want to consider a joint ownership program. SL [/QUOTE]
