For those of you that contract groups of calves direct to buyers, basically not the the auction barn, what kind of premium do you get over auction barn prices, if any at all?
I ask because I have some one who approached me about buying my calves direct. I will need to be sure the cows are as sinced up as possible for uniformity (not a big deal) and I will have to steer the bulls (also not a big deal for the right price).
I'm looking for a good way to set the deal up so that it is mutually beneficial and preferably I can lock the price or have some form of pricing to go off of.
Any thoughts on how to go about this are appreciated, especially if you have experience on the buying or selling end of similar transactions.
Thanks in advance. :tiphat:
