In the stock show world, $ signs move the dial more than any single item. \u00a0More than banners, more than reputation\u2026..$ signs. \u00a0 Did you hear? \u00a0What did the sale average? \u00a0Who bought that?<\/p>\n
As a breeder, I have sold more than my share of $5,000+ wethers. \u00a0I don’t remember being in a good mood on any of those. \u00a0Why? \u00a0As a buyer, I have bought too many $5,000+ wethers. \u00a0I don’t remember being in a good mood on any of those. \u00a0At that price point, there should be some kind of guarantee. \u00a0But, no.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, when you sell a $500 wether, fine. \u00a0No stress. \u00a0If that goat wins a class, a county, makes a sale\u2026.GREAT!! \u00a0As a breeder, that $1,500 goat is the happy medium. \u00a0That doe was profitable that year. \u00a0Nobody is hurt too bad at $,1500 if that goat doesn’t win the big show. \u00a0Everybody involved has a chance to coming out on top.<\/p>\n
But, then there are times, when you sell one for $500 or less, and it empties a pen which makes a seller happy, makes a buyer happy, a kid was able to hit their price point and ooohhhh snap!! \u00a0It’s all good.<\/p>\n
I am done selling wethers in 2020. \u00a0I did not sell a Kelln born wether online or in a live sale this year. \u00a0I took ZERO pics. \u00a0I paid no commission selling wethers this year. \u00a0I sold wethers from $300 to $3,500. \u00a0It wasn’t a great year of selling goats, just a satisfying year. \u00a0Even though, there was a couple of times that I priced a wether at $300, then handled him and realized that I had just screwed up. \u00a0OK. \u00a0That will be a repeat buyer.<\/p>\n
Sellling doe kids,on the other hand\u2026.ooohhh! \u00a0 I need to find a buyer that just takes ALL of them at weaning time for a set price and remove me from the equation.<\/p>\n
Peace out! \u00a0Have a good one today and a better one tomorrow.<\/p>\n
