About Our Company
I took my calves to the sale barn. I was running late. Things were not going well.
To start with, I had to borrow a cattle trailer, then getting the calves to cooperate going into the loading gate took me an hour. Finally, I got them all loaded and started out for the sales barn. The floors in this trailer were bad and I was worried the whole way there that my cows were going to step through and break a leg going down the road. The tires were flat when I picked up the trailer, so that was another stressful thought…
Finally pulling up at the barn, I found that I had just got there before they stopped receiving.
I walked in and found a seat among a bunch of other cowboys and waited for my number to come up. I waited. I waited all day for my calves to come up.
Calves like mine in lesser condition had been bringing $1.55 to $1.75 all day., I sat there knowing my calves would surely bring better that the calves that had been through already.
Finally, mine were coming through. The auctioneer made the announcement “Last calves of the day!” I knew this was not going to go well. An auctioneer should never tell the buyers that!
They began to come through and they got up to $1.62. It flashed on the screen. I saw it. and then the screen went blank.
I thought, “A$1.62 ain’t too shabby., I can live with that.”
I began making my way to the front to pick up my check. The lady found mine and said “Here ya go!”…
I looked down at the check. My best calf went for .62 cents per pound! I was outraged! I told her that it said $1.62 on the screen. “Nope. $.62 cents was what they sold for., got it right here on the computer.” There was no changing her mind.
I lost big that day and it started me thinking., “I wish there was a way to sell my calves direct to my buyers. Then it hit me! There was! Happy Cow Classifieds was born! sellmycows.com is the best way for smaller farmers and ranchers to buy and sell their livestock. It has worked for me! I have sold my calves at consistently higher prices with less aggravation and much less stress and, my customers have come to me and bring their trailer so if I do have to deliver calves, I add a delivery fee!
Yes! Happy Cow Classified works!
