[QUOTE="Ouachita, post: 1807788, member: 16802"] I started getting better recognition (and prices) when I started using a fellow that knows the important people. Instead of hauling my own, I pay him to haul mine to the sale. He's well known and respected, so when he arrives the sale, people come to see what he has. Up until 2012, my wife worked at a local sale barn and so the buyers knew us. When the barn burned down and never rebuilt, we had to start using another couple barns a couple hours away. We got no recognition or respect until we had sold there several times, and utilizing a hauler that everyone knew. Initially I didn't like the idea of paying someone else to haul my cattle, but after figuring cost and maintenance of trailer (plus the fact that if you have one, people WILL ASKED to borrow it), it's cheaper for me. The familiarity of the driver was an unexpected bonus. [/QUOTE]
