[QUOTE="Angus Guy, post: 339844, member: 1841"] Okay Stepper if I'm understanding you correctly you're looking for a more equitable way of selling your cattle. The question then is what is wrong with compeitive bidding? This is what auctions are all about. The more bidding usually means a better return, while less bidding means smaller return. If your cattle are what your market area wants then an auction should not hurt your returns. An example might be if your area wants large drafts of animals and you have small drafts you will take a reduction in price. This is the way it works. By the same token if you can find a way to do a better job of marketing by all means use it. But don't knock auctions because in the final analysis they do give us a starting point for all other marketing types. [/QUOTE]
