[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 161926, member: 968"] I sell NOTHING thru the sale barn. When I have a cull - she gets shipped direct to a packer & I get paid on the rail. I sell my feeder steers to a local feeder - he pays for them (at an agreed price) on weights over my scales (so no shrink). Some feeders are sold as junior projects. Sell breeding stock private treaty or consignment sales. Here in NY, you need to join the NY Beef Producers Assn. and you will find info on Cornell programs. They have one that they precondition your weaned calves and sell them as a group. They also have a feedlot program. You own the calves, they feed them out & market them. You get all the data. We've been doing this on 4 head of steers. Also, have a heifer development program (purebreds & mostly commercial) You deliver your weaned heifers, they feed them, ultra sound them, do breeding soundness exam, and you can get them back for breeding at home, or they can be sold in the spring sale or they will keep them & breed them & you can get them back bred or sell them bred in the fall. Lots of options - if you join NYBPA and/or get Country Folks publication you will read about them. [/QUOTE]
