[QUOTE="Kathie in Thorp, post: 930468, member: 16769"] Hook, what you say is true, because most beef consumers buy at the grocery store; they aren't dealing with a small producer. But we have been amazed, once word got around, at the demand for our home-grown butcher beef. The first 2 we did we had to feed an extra 30 days because one of the half-buyers backed out. Then we started requiring a deposit -- not a bunch, but just enough to spank if they backed out. The next year 3 steers; this year 5, all pre-sold with deposits paid. I don't think I'm going to push our luck with 5 for next year -- some folks can make a half last more than a year. But even with 5 this year, there were people that wanted in when all were spoken for. Those customers don't ever want to buy store-bought beef again -- they know the difference now. [/QUOTE]
