[QUOTE="cattlepower, post: 615910, member: 7895"] A friend of mine did sell 4 steers last year straight off the farm direct to the customers. The problem as he sold many in 1/4 instead of all 1/2 or whole was: when you start selling a bunch of 1/4 sides of beef the logistics and record keeping can get ridiculous. Also, it seems the more you sold that way the less chance you have of taking a bunch at the same time to the processor. You can definitely make a profit this way but to do real good it seems you need a very large customer base and you would be making many trips to the processor with small numbers of cattle. There is probably an easier way to sell direct so if someone can expand with better ideas please do. [/QUOTE]
