Selling your Livestock

Now that you have started your hobby farm, you need to start thinking about how to sell your extra animals.

There are several different ways to go about this.

First, Craigslist.

This is a pretty reliable way of selling your extra livestock. Beware though, some areas tend to use craigslist more than others. Also, purchases usually come in seasons. For example, most people will buy chicks and chickens in the spring.

Next, you can try facebook.

Many communities will have a buy, sell, trade group or page. However, that being said Facebook will sometimes flag the selling of animals to prevent puppy mill operations. Keep this in mind while posting.

There are also community poultry and farm swaps. Check at you local feed store. These are usually a monthly or bi-monthly event.

Last, but not least, farmer's markets.

No, you will probably not sell to your customers, but there usually are a few farmer's there that might be interested in your wares!
