[QUOTE="Khuckabee, post: 1389991, member: 24035"] I run into a myriad of problems selling beef to people, which is a bit looney that they keep buying store bought junk instead of all natural farm raised beef we sell. Putting out more money at one time to buy a side could be their biggest obstacle. I reluctantly sell quarters, but really sell half of a half so they get varied cuts from both quarters of the cow. I have only sold two quarters, ever . I will even take payments in advance while we are feeding the beef out to help both parties. If people would make the sacrifice to get a bigger freezer, they would save money, I think, in the long run at least, but it is difficult to tell them to do that and expect them to do it, lol. I've thought of buying a batch of miniatures to fill that other need that is there, I am sure. Maybe more so in the future with the medical community telling us less red meat is better? Actually I just like cows, any cows. I seem to do better with my larger ones. But that could be for a lot of reasons like me liking big cows so I am more comfortable pushing larger sized beef.
