Keep the best cow and push him to $750.00 cash and it's a deal What year is the trailer?2/B or not 2/B":3e4rjboi said:Thank you, both. I should post the cattle too, but ugh it's a pain. Some were posted in another thread but I haven't uploaded all of the pics. Maybe later.
Yes, he has the trailer listed at $2,750 and I was thinking it's probably a $2,500 trailer. He's offering $500 cash on top of that.
ditto that i'd personally be a little hesitant to part with that RA heifer.....larryshoat":1u56o48q said:I agree with those that say sell the cattle then go buy the trailer. Just an opinion, you probably ain't gonna get killed either way.

Some time has passed and we sold our group of cattle for more than the value of the trade. Using some of that money, we bought the trailer today after seeing it in person. It's in great shape and seems durable and well made. Good wood floor, mats, new tires, working lights, double axle, electric breaks. Just a nice little trailer. I know it isn't a heavy duty bad*** trailer, but it will get light, occasional use and be parked under cover as it has been all these years. I did some research and decided it was priced reasonably for our area. Other parts of the country, apparently you can get one for a steal. I did get him to come down a little, as well as deliver from 1.5 hours away.
Figured your cattle were probably worth more than the small stock trailer. But trailer looks good, and I think you did good, 2/B!
Can't wait to use it. Any tips are welcome. I know to keep it clean and protected from the weather. Other tips for using it and storing it? Other than renting, this is our first stock trailer and I'm thrilled not to be without our own hauling now.
