Would be a hard job just finding 1100 good purebred bulls a year to sell. BTW saw yesterday where another good young man was murdered while making a visit concerning another Craig's List item for sale.

If yo don't mind dealing with the public And want to make more money this may be the thing to do. Their are a lot of city people or people without cattle knowledge that are looking to buy cattle and do not want to go to the auction. :cboy:

One of those crazy tube thinks that mounts on a big fan and flops around way up in the air. You could get a slick talking salesman with a big hat. You could even let people trade in their old cattle. Then you haul them to sale and make money on the flip...... ;-) ;-)
I guess maybe I was confused by your original post, but you do realize that there are a lot of people, including folks here, that make a living doing exactly what you're talking about? Whether seed stock or commercial, selling replacement animals isn't a new idea. However, your original post implied just taking run of the mill feeders and selling them on CL to unsuspecting city folks for above market prices. At least that's how I read it.cowboy43":387jdn6i said:I do not see how if you go to the extra care and expense of raising good replacement heifers how that could be taking advantage of people. Same as if you buy a Chevy car or a cadillac . Their is a lot cattle on Craigslist that are under quality and overpriced, Someone asked how do I know if they sold, I have called several that I thought were good replacements and they have been sold already in a short time after listing. Their are more ways to sell cattle than on Craigslist I used that as an example also as one way to list your cattle. I still believe raise good quality replacements and develop a good reputation a person could make above market value selling private treaty.
