I've been selling my cattle and ogs direct for 4 years now. I do well on the pigs and ok on the cattle. Right now I get $2/lb on hanging weight for hogs and $3/lb for beef on hanging weight. At that rate I d very well on the pigs, and cattle generally edge out selling at the sale barn. In my area I'm about in the middle of the price range. I place adds on Craigslist and on several pages on fb. Sales are a bit slower this year, but looks like I'll sell out again in spite of doubling production for the year.
So if your doing the same, how have you been doing it? Hoe do yu price it? And how do you market it? Such as where do you lace your adds?
Just looking for more ideas as I'll double the number of head I sell again this year and may need to step up my game some.
