[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1831383, member: 40587"] Well,[I] if[/I] someone inquires about buying cattle from me, I answer truthfully any question they may ask me about them, that I know the answer to. And if I don't know, I will tell them " I dunno", 99% of the time, any cattle I am selling, are cattle that people have asked me to find and buy for them. I buy a lot more horses specifically to re-sell than I do cattle. I always disclose any information I have about the horse, and will truthfully answer any question about it that I know the answer to. I tell people if they are interested in buying my horse, they can come out and ride it as much as they want, bring a trainer with them to ride it, bring a whole team of vets to check it put if they want to, BUT,, once you decide to buy it, you will pay me before[I] you[/I] load it on your trailer. And if it falls and breaks its neck getting on, you own 100% of a dead horse that[I] you[/I] need to remove from my property. In the past 2 years, I have bought....put together... 3 different herds of 80 to 150 head of cows, for 3 different people. Each has deposited anywhere from $200k to $385k in my account before I bought the first cow for them, to buy the cattle with. And we did all 3 on a handshake. Well, 2 of them anyway. The 3rd we made the deals over the phone, deposit and all, and I never met him in person til I delivered the first cows to him. About $50k worth on that 1st load that l bought with [I]his [/I]money. So, I reckon there are some people that think they can do business with me on a handshake. Twice I think, I have had someone hanging around the check in area of a sale, ask me what kind of calves these were, and I told them 1/2 Corriente...half Angus or Brangus or Ultrablack... depending on the bulls we used that year. One I had to tell them what a Corriente was. I told them if you ever go to a rodeo, Corriente is what you see in team roping and steer wrestling. One other time I had man ask me if they were half Corriente and I said yes they are. Dunno what else you could want. But, no, I have never stopped an auction, and stood up and yelled: "Y'all quit bidding this much. These calves are half Corriente!" If that makes me "unscrupulous", then so be it. [/QUOTE]
