[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 194"] As far as marketing them. We market smaller groups (10-20) through our local NFO. I'm not exactly how they do it, but we give them a weeks notice, and they put together loads. We have done this both grade and yield, and on a grid. We usually come out a bit better than the sale barn on the top 80% or so. But the last ones to finish out don't seem to grade as well, and we do better at the sale barn. You don't have to be a member of NFO, but they encourage you to join. One other thing is that I don't have to pay yardage and commission when I go through NFO, and can pay the added trucking costs of going to the bigger packers. Hope this helps a little in your decision. [/QUOTE]
