[QUOTE="CottageFarm, post: 943999, member: 16552"] Some people are really something, huh? Here's how I would handle it: If they don't want to pay you for breeding their cows, tell them the alternative is that you will abort them at no additional cost. Either way, they pay for the care and feeding (that they apparently assumed you would provide for free). I would then explain to them you're not a non-profit business, and you can't afford to feed other peoples' cows for free, especially in a drought. Now, bear in mind, I don't have a whole lot of patience with certain types of people, and would, under these circumstances, have no problem pizzing them off and never see them again. If you really want to play nice, ask them what they do feel is a fair price for feeding, boarding and breeding their cows. By the way, document EVERYTHING. Even verbal conversations. Get it in writing if you can, like email correspondence. But even if it's a phone conversation, write it down. If they do anything other than pay you everything you ask for, get their signature of agreement to any other course of action. My guess is that it's not a coincidence that they finished their fence right about the time you told them it's feed/board aren't free. [/QUOTE]
