– Elm Hollow Classifieds –
– Three calves available –
– Services for sellers and buyers –
The first calf has been listed and sold!
The first calf was posted on the classifieds page just a week ago. The seller received an acceptable offer within 8 hours and the sale was final within 24 hours. I’m certainly not promising that every ad posted will have such quick results, but exposure is everything when you are selling your Highlands. Having a site that you can know is not a scam site saves time and money.
While Facebook is a quick way to let people know that you have Highlands available or that you are looking for Highlands to buy, it is also a quick way to encounter scammers. I was alerted just today that there is now a scam site that has literally copied my legitimate website word for word and it trying to destroy my business because I continue to warn buyers about their thievery. Do not be fooled by “El Miniature” it is not Elm Hollow Farm.
There are new classified ads going up this weekend, so be sure to visit our classifieds page: https://elmhollowfarm.com/highland-cattle-classifieds/
Now a quick look at who is coming to our page, this weekend:
Wandering Rose Kenna is a 4.5 year old cow with a great genetic background, and a promising future for a small herd ready to grow.
If you’re looking for a beautiful dun bull, Metallica of Wandering Rose is a lovely one year old.
And finally, a sweet 9 month old yellow heifer, Ruby Kate of Wandering Rose is ready for her new home. It might be yours!
I will do my best to provide a place that is safe for buyers and where sellers can work directly with buyers interested in their Registered Highland Cattle. Although there will be an advertising fee for using the classifieds on the Elm Hollow Farm website, there will be no commission fee based on the sale price of an animal that is sold on the page. If you have AHCA registered highlands for sale, and would like to place an ad with us, it is easy to do, click here to learn how.
A vetted classifieds page would provide these services:
- FOR SELLERS: A very accessible place to advertise your registered calves for sale. If you google Highland Cattle for sale, you will see that Elm Hollow farm is among the top 10 sites on that search and is the only actual seller of cattle.
- FOR SELLERS: A guide to taking effective photos for selling your cattle.
- FOR SELLERS: A guide for sellers of questions to ask prospective buyers so they can determine if the home seems suitable for their calf/cow.
- FOR SELLERS: The construction of your ad including your comments about your cattle, (temperament, expected size, stage of halter training if any, etc.)
- FOR BUYERS: A guide for buyers to help them determine what they need to provide good care for a Highland and what type calf/cow will meet their needs.
- FOR BUYERS: A place where sellers have been screened to weed out scammers. Be aware that some scammers are very clever and there is a possibility that one might fool me, but I’ll be doing my best to make sure every offering on this site is legitimate. The ultimate decision to purchase will be the responsibility of the buyer.
- FOR BOTH SELLERS AND BUYERS: I am doing more frequent newsletters with the option for sellers to have their new classified listings mentioned with one photo, brief description, registration number and contact information listed in the newsletter for $10.00, with a free mention of new additions during the month.
