[Jacob-list] FYI

[ACAMDA at aol.com]

It's been so quiet on the list I thought I'd pass this along. (Hope I haven't 
been dropped from the list!)

I also belong to a LISTSERV for Belted Galloway cattle, as they are listed by 
the ALBC as rare.  We only have one cow, but the info can be interesting, 
particularly concerning grass-fed animals.  I don't pay much attention to the 
marketing part, but thought the idea of listing on e-bay was novel.  So I 
pass this along just as something to chew on.  Those with Jacob sheep to 
spare might want to take a look.

#1  Ebay doesn't allow animals to be sold. Seems the AR nuts pressured them 
and got them to stop some time ago. This is why I started a similar website 
with focus on selling animals. I am happy to say it is only a month old and 
we have had over 7700 hits. The more people you tell about it the better the 
site will do which means the more stuff will sell. It is free to list stuff 
and pictures are free too. And you have the choice of listing your item as a 
classified or as an auction. So, try and support the site!!!

#2  As was mentioned, I don't think they allow live animal sales on e-bay.  
However, I have seen stud services for horses on e-bay.  I think the breeders 
were using it primarily to get people interested in their horses and farms.   
So, if someone wanted to sell frozen semen, they might be able to get it 
listed on e-bay and then have pictures of the bull and his calves.   It could 
be a good way to get some publicity.   The e-bay ads for stud service usually 
have a link to the farm, but I would think a link to the Belted Galloway 
website would also be good.
