[QUOTE="Avalon, post: 712359, member: 7275"] In my opinion a true [b]broker[/b] is worth his salt. He knows #1 where to find or put together like groups of cattle like the big boys want to buy. #2 He can cut commission costs. #3 He is trusted enough to group your 5 head with someone elses 20 head to create a package. #4 If your cattle are better than sale barn cattle he will get you more for them. #5 His deals will be made with the original seelers standing behind the animals that they sell. #6 He takes the headache out of a purchase for the big city fat cats that are willing to pay more for a like set of cattle. The brokers that I deal with do not buy culls. only cattle that I am willing to stand behind and yes they pay more for them. The end buyer is also willing to pay more because we do stand behind them. Most [b]order buyers[/b] cut their teeth at the sale barns as employees of backgrounders and feeders. My son is what I call a [b]steer Jockey[/b] at the right time of the year, he covers the country looking for good show steers. He gets paid more because he know where to look and what to look for. He takes care of all health issues casturations, dehorn, worming, vaccinations as well as halter breaking. He gets repeat customers becuase he stands behind what he sells and provides service after the sale. None of these positions is easy to come by. In my book it takes integrity and plenty of knowlege to know the who, what, where, when, how and why. It's not just something you can jump into without some background. [/QUOTE]
