[QUOTE="Commercialfarmer, post: 1317412, member: 14544"] Do something like that with family members and neighbors that buy commercial heifers. They get to pick what they like for the high end price of the local barn in same weight range. Have never asked for a premium above that, but we've also picked our own replacements first. As quality improves, price could as well. It's just easier for us to not have to deal with marketing to try to capture that potential extra profit- possibly poor business decision. As you said, no barn fees, also saves cost of feeding at the barn, hauling and no shrink. That's worth quite a bit. There's benefit to the buyer by getting calves that haven't been ran through the barn, and having a known background. That's worth quite a bit as well. Seems like a win, win. [/QUOTE]
