[QUOTE="Bigfoot, post: 961338, member: 17956"] No I would think all yards carry insurance. I would have to read all three pages of the thread again to sort it out in my head, but I thought the calf was limping, and they paid you the difference. I wouldn't think they turned that in on insurance. Just paid it out of pocket. That surprises me that they would make up the difference. That's all. Could be a host of things that caused the limp. It didn't drop dead in the sale ring. It just came through with a limp. That's a big gray area to me that's all. I'm glad the yard you use will do that. Here that would absolutely never happen. As many calves as I have sold over the years I have never had one develope a limp while at the yard. I have had a bunch not bring what I thought they were worth. I have bought groups that had a calf in them that when I got them home probably should have sold as a single. I have never called the yard, or questioned it. Sales are buyer be ware. To me they are the same for the seller. Who's to say the calf didn't have a piece of cartlidge loose in his knee. Walking fine at home, and got irratated later. Probably not the case, but about 20 other explanations come to mind that would not make it the stockyards fault. I know your in a ruffle over this so don't get madder. I'm just saying I'm surprised they gave you any $. [/QUOTE]
