CHAPTER VI. 

 SELLING AND SHIPPING. 



THE QUESTION is often asked, "How can I dis- 

 pose of my stock?" There are a great many 

 ways to dispose of it. In the first place, 

 you must be certain that you have the 

 best stock, and the safest way to know that 

 is to buy only registered stock, because you will then 

 know that an experienced breeder, who knows just 

 what stock should be, looked the specimen over 

 thoroughly, and after pronouncing it a good specimen, 

 tattooed its ear and made out the registration papers 

 for it. After you are sure you have the best stock you 

 can obtain, advertise it in a magazine devoted to the 

 fancy, as that is one of the best possible ways to find 

 a market for it. 



Exhibiting at the shows is another good means of 

 finding buyers for your stock. Enter it at some show 

 which you know you will be able to attend, then be 

 on hand and sell your stock. The large state and 

 county fairs also afford good opportunities for selling 

 stock. 



Study out some plan of your own, for advertising 

 and selling, as it is often the original one that sells 

 the stock.
