A Guide to Selling Your Dairy Herd

“
“I’ve bought and sold cows with Dairy Rep, Paul Anthony a number of times. He’s always professional, straight up and honest. You know there will be no surprises with him.
We discussed what I wanted, and what he required from me. PGG Wrightson has a wide network. You’re not just talking to a small group of buyers. With them you get nationwide reach through agOnline, which is where we listed my herd.
Although we had to wait a few days for the right price, overall it was smooth sailing. It didn’t take too long to find the right buyer, and we didn’t have to drop what we were asking. While a lot of stock agents have reputations as salesmen, Paul is bloody good. We’ve used him for the past few years and wouldn’t hesitate to use him again.”
“
“Dealing with Dairy Rep, Mike Van der Linden was easy. He came in and took photos, did all the work to list the herd, then dealt with the buyers coming to look at them. We first called him in early December, and he’d signed the buyer up by end of January, so the whole process only took seven or eight weeks.
Mike is a genuine guy to talk to. Make sure you ask the questions, and with him, no question is a dumb question. If he doesn’t have an answer, he’ll go away and find it for you.
He’s good at keeping the communication open: nice and easy, professional, and always contactable.”
