[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1369077, member: 24027"] When I sell bred heifers I generally ask $100 more than the high end at the Sale Barn. "Ask" is the operative word. But my heifers are pelvic measured, BANGS, all shots, already have magnets, hand-feeders, easy to work, bred to calving ease bull. Plus their dam, siblings, generally their sire & the bull that bred them are all on site. When we sell calves private treaty they're loaded onto the trailer & weighed. We take the average weight, compare to the Sale Barn average lb/price, add $2 because they're fully vaccinated/weaned and call it good. We're doing the same with a bull calf we kept intact for one of our neighbors. I doubt we really make any or much more than when we do take them to the Sale Barn but it's something we do for some of our neighbors & everybody seems satisfied. [/QUOTE]
