[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1553397, member: 24565"] You sell bulls and cows on the cattle's function and fit as well as your reputation. It is a local market. It is a word of mouth market. It is a repeat buyer type market and not a one time thrill of buying an expensive bull at a named sale. Most have already tried that a time or two. You have to do things differently to keep costs down and yet the folks who buy are loyal to you. When you have folks as either repeat buyers or first time buyers buying sight unseen and putting requests in a year or so ahead, there is something to the herd that is useful and not just names of great this or that or other herds' prefixes selling the cattle. The difference is using what you raise and breeding animals rather than coat tail replication of animals from other "better" herds. Just saying. [/QUOTE]
