[QUOTE="QueenSidhe, post: 702820, member: 13366"] I have a 9 year old dehorned Hereford Bull. He has 100% track record for breeding- usually pasture bred. He averages about 50% bull calves, 50% heifer calves- regardless what he is bred to. Halter and bucket trained, also trained to load into a trailer. I also have an 8 year old polled Hereford Breeding Cow. 100% track record for breeding- calf every year since age 3. Bucket trained. I am SERIOUSLY considering selling them. There is nothing wrong with them, just my health is getting worse and they are getting to be too much to deal with as our herd has increased. Don't know what would be best bet- auction or private sale. I also don't know what a fair price is for them. Considering selling them as a breeding pair. But don't know whether would get more selling them as a pair or singely. They are pure bred, but there are no "Registration" or "Pedigree" papers on either. They are both very healthy, as gentle as can be expected for these animals. Will let you scratch their head and behind their ears when they approach the fence. We live in Western Washington just NW of Olympia (state capital). Does anyone know what I expect to sell them for? If auction or private sale would be our best option for the best price? Any help would be appreciated. Also, if helps, weaned calves (regardless of breed) are selling on average for $ 400 each through local private sales. [/QUOTE]
