[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 961123, member: 18809"] I guess the stockyard carries insurance for that reason. I was not angry nor did I have attitude on the phone with the rep, I just wanted to know why this calf went so low, and how to get better prices in the future - which he talked with me on the phone for 20 minutes giving me tips and putting me in contact with a rep that will help us next time (they have reps that are assigned to people to help market the calves, I did not know that). I never asked for more money, he is the one that said they were going to pay the difference because he was sound when he arrived, and that is why they have insurance. If there is a problem with lameness when they walk off the trailer to the pens, they note it on your loading paperwork. So they did not even question that the steer was sound and healthy when he arrived. Also, this steer walked off the trailer in a nice slow gate, and walked calmly into his holding pen, but he is a halter broke steer that has been around kids and dogs since his birth. So are you saying that if I take an animal there and it dies, that it is my loss? Remind me not to go to your auction and leave a calf. Fortunately, the stockyards around us (Joplin and Springfield) treat their sellers and buyers better than that! [/QUOTE]
