[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 622511, member: 4353"] Bulls sold to commercial breeders' price are linked to the slaughtervalue of the animal. I sell them for slaughtervalue +50%, the profit margin when I sell this way is very close (maybe slightly better) to what other breeders get in the better production sales. The difference being my bulls are sold private treaty off the farm so I don't have any sale cost or commission to give to the auctioneer. The "special" bulls that go to purebred breeders or very demanding buyers' asking price are usually negotiated till both parties are satisfied. I have found that linking the asking price to weight and slaughterprice helps buyers to get a better feel for how much (little) they are actually paying compared to buying junk over the fence or from the salebarn. The best advice I can give to any new breeder about to start selling bulls is don't overprice them, rather just sell them and get them out there working for the new owner and ultimately also for your reputation. There is no advertisement as good as a satisfied client who spreads the word. [/QUOTE]
