[QUOTE="bball, post: 1327398, member: 23752"] We could sell every calf we have to individual consumers. This year that would be 40. I work in a hospital and FIL at steel mill, between the 2 of us, we have people approach us regularly for beef. At this time, neither of us want the hassle of dealing with public (have a handful of private buyers who buy between 4 -12 each at weaning). Selling to individuals is all about having connections to people with the resources to actually PAY when it comes time, and then having the patience to answer a multitude of questions the first time they buy...once you get them through the process (and assuming you raise a quality product), the will be back year after year. Anytime I have a retained heifer come up open, she gets fed to finish and is sold (usually sold the day she is found to be open, all I have to do then is finish her). Could the OP move 25 head finished to individuals? Just depends on if he has the contacts with resources and would be willing to do it. Word of mouth spreads fast when you sell quality beef. [/QUOTE]
