[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1830148, member: 40587"] Nope! If I get what I want, I don't care what you make it on it. I hope you [I]do[/I] make money. Not as much room trading cattle as there is horses, but many a time I have bought a horse I know would bring $15k-$25k, for less than a thousand, and sold it for $10k or less. I want to sell you one that [I]you[/I] can make money on too. That way, you will keep buying from me. It is not up to me to educate you on the value of your cattle, nor is it "noble" or "the right thing to do", to offer to pay more for an animal the owner has priced way below value. However, this year I have paid double what the owners were asking for 3 dairy cows, but there were extenuating circumstances. First two, the lady needed money to bury her husband and my friend, but I knew she'd never let me give her the money. And this week, I told that old couple...the man with a broke hip on hospice, that their cow and calves were worth twice what they asked for them, and paid them for them.
