[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1134825, member: 498"] I have had them back out after they had it cut to their instructions. But at that point it is frozen and hopefully the butcher has enough freezer space to hold it for a few days. Keep the deposit and actually you can sell it a little cheaper because you have the deposit dollars to deduct off the cost to your new buyer. I have been selling beef on the rail off and on since I sold my first one when I was 9 years old. Right now I am in the off mood. Two years ago I had two people back out leaving me holding the bag. I don't raise cattle because I have deep desire to deal with the public. Heck last year I had a daughter pick up half a beef that I raised which I picked up at the butcher (I paid the processing). She told me she forgot her check book and would come over the next weekend. That was last August....... I am through selling beef to people for a while. So much for my rant. Keep the deposit. Deduct those dollars from your original price and you will move the beef quickly at the new lower price. [/QUOTE]
