He's talking about supplying bulls to their sale.
They call those "Cooperators". :roll:

Even better, you could do some homework to find out which cooperators used to raise cattle for a certain ranch but don't do it any longer, and ask them why they no longer participate.
Some of these relationships have been very profitable for cooperators and others have been real headaches and ended up costing the producer in the long run.

If you're a cooperator and getting half of that sale price, are you going to be pleased? Early in the sale they sold bulls for much higher prices. I saw one sell for $11,000, but I think they have too many bulls. And the Chars haven't sold yet.

True, true!! What are some other Cooperators? Smaller ones.
