[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 950795, member: 9096"] well, 3 years ago he bought an Argo (an 8x8 ATV) for $26000, and the property next to ours for 80,000, and he has a house in the city too... he's not really a guy who's strapped for cash. I can understand that with family medical problems, taking care of the cut/wrap of a steer is a bit of work... but it goes to show you ALWAYS have to get a security deposit on something you're going out of your way to keep. From what I'm reading, sale barn prices are in the 1.20 range, so he should be worth about 1500 give or take, but he was worth 1100 last fall, and probably 1400 this spring... I may be able to find another buyer, but time is running out for fall slaughter space. I have tried doing the cut and wrap and selling quarters, but one person wants steaks in 2 packs, the other in 3 packs, the next guy wants stew meat and not burger, and it becomes a haggling point for them, and then I have to take responsibility for what the butcher does, and I'm sick of it... If I sell it on the hoof and they do it, they can wrangle with the butcher if he short changed them of meat, if the cuts weren't right, etc, and I'm out of it... I delivered the animal. I just hate that they basically give me a month notice that they arent buying the guy [/QUOTE]
