[QUOTE="stocky, post: 1212236, member: 1150"] One other thing I would suggest would be to have a clear understanding about how long this will last at 150 per calf and 15 or so every 60 days. Sounds like your understanding is that this will continue at this rate and this price for a considerable amount of time and you can make money on the deal for quite some time. It sounds like he would be expecting you to take the calves at this rate and this price for quite some time, also. However, what if you tried a group and it did not work out? Would he still expect you to keep taking the calves at that price? What if you took a group and it went great and he decided next group would be 200 dollars because he had underpriced the calves. What if he decided it would be better if you picked them up at 3 days old instead of 2 weeks old after a couple of groups. My suggestion is that you both have a clear (and written) understanding of how long this is to go on before there is an opportunity for adjustment from one or the other of you in either price or number and what would be the earliest one of you could end the agreement. I know I am talking about alot of "ifs", but things do happen and without a clear understanding or contract, confusion or greed could come into the picture when unexpected. Also, you are putting money and time into preparing for this to work for you. It would be a shame to go to all that work and then find out it only lasts for one or two groups. [/QUOTE]
