    In my part of the U.S., generally $200-$500. It’s a big country, though. Others will tell you what it’s like in their part of the country.

    JH:

    We are looking for another team or two if you have any leads for us. Farm chunk style preferred, need training ok.

    Thanks!

    Kevin,
    Try the Montana Craigslist, or even Spokane (seems to be lots of horses on Craigslist anymore, as it’s free to post the ad). There was a team of percherons on there a week or two ago, full brother/sister and the old guy that owned them was more worried about them going to the right home than how much money he was going to make. I also know of a gal that has a team of Belgians that really needs to get rid of them too… sound like a pretty nice team, but I haven’t seen them. Shoot me a PM if you’re interested. I also know of a bunch of Percherons in NE (our oldest daughter) that wants to thin the herd.

    John: I’ll send you a PM, but pretty interested in these guys. We went up to see them Sunday, they are Half brothers five years old, great ground training and some wagon work but no hard work all their life yet.
    $2000.00 for the team.

    Back to the original thread, sorry, there is a guy out of Red Lodge who purchases teams out of Wisconsin from the Amish for resale to people in Montana and a lot in Idaho. Mostly 10-14 yr old teams well broke selling $3k-$5k without harness, which are all going to wagon train owners or just for pasture ornaments. I was told “bigger the better sell the fastest to look good in the front pasture as you drive into the ranch” I find it interesting that he says that I am the only one hes talked to wanting teams for farming…. More interesting is that he said that all the yearling colts are being purchased and sent up to Canada to go in the feedlots. What an upside down society…:(
