Selling store cattle on Faceache? Being blocked.

[BigSteve]

Have 14 store cattle for sale. Use Sell my Livestock, but we find that site does better for selling sheep where we are, not so good for cattle.
Used Facebook in past, got blocked when tried it today. New FB policy? Now hear they might be doing the same to animal products (meat etc) too? Anyone else managing to sell cattle on Faceache? Any other ways of reaching private buyers on internet?.

Are they not just looking for a new postcode rather than being for sale, people I see selling on there seem to get round it this way

Did some vegan types not buy a share in it and stop animal sales?

It might of been something else but have a vague memory.

Sounds about typical.

Pretty thats right. FB banned most sales pages iirc. Just word it differently as said above.
Think it was a lot to do with the number of puppies for sale during lockdown

No issues with having a commercial page sell livestock, but not allowed for a private individual. Use your farm’s Facebook page to place the advert and you should be okay.

Your local auction mart will probably do farm to farm private sales.

As others have said, on a personal post don't directly say for sale or words to that effect. Say something like 'looking for new postcode' or 'looking for new '.
I have a business page for our herd. And as selling livestock is part of our business Facebook allows you to advertise directly that an animal is for sale.

I am trying to sell grazing and my ads were blocked on FB, So I advertised as a house with a 22 acre floor area and got it through. Grazing is still available if anyone is interested!

Have you spoken to Grant at Dingwall? Too late to get it in the main sale for this year (was late March, iirc), but they might be able to help in some way.

Or put it on the group for selling hay on maybe?
