Lanaire's Ranch said something that I struggle with. Selling.
There are, to me, two situations. Selling an animal that is going to be killed for food, or an animal who will live it's life in someone else's hands. I don't know how dog breeders do it! The stress and worry and uncertainty must be a killer!
Being a horse family, the selling of horses makes me antsy, a horse can live a long, miserable existence in the hands of the wrong people. And yes anyone who doesn't do it my way is wrong! Just sayin.
Lanaire, tell us more about your experiences, I would be interested in your perspective and experiences.

but I think that honestly, my experience is no different than anyone else's, but that people were taking advantage of MY bad situation and tried to get things for nothing. just because I had to sell quickly to cover bloodwork costs and whatnot, did not mean I didnt value my animals or thought they were worth nothing, and I did feel very much taken advantage of and slightly abused by the end of it all.
