[QUOTE="texanstraders, post: 610666, member: 8572"] Glad to hear the calf is doing good. I buy at a private treaty Cagwin run auction every year. We're small and trying to get a high quality small herd. I try to sell anything we have private treaty as well. I have used Craigslist with moderate success. I just prefer people to see the quality of what we have to offer. They get a record of the vaccinations and papers if they desire. And there is a reduced stress in the sale. The animal doesn't have to go sit in the sale lot overnight getting exposed to who knows what. I took 2 strong bull calves to the sale barn a few weeks back and got hardly anything for them. They were 540 and 590 lb well built well cared for calves. Had all their shots and had been eating $10 a bag developer for weeks. Someone did well on their purchase and got quality genetics as well, but they will never know the background. Unfortunately, there's a bunch of not so nice stuff there as well. Seems there's a market for a Craigslist type operation for cattle sales. Someone just has to start it. [/QUOTE]
