I think it sounds like the guy was trying to take advantage of you. Knock off the commission, huh? Well how about you tack on the added value of buying straight off the farm with no co-mingling with other cattle and disease exposure. And, being able to see the source herd, sires and dams, actually know a little about the cattle and not just go by what you can see in the sale ring. And have the advantage of a set price, no risk of a bidding war if somebody else has their heart set on the same cattle. Plus he has bought from you before, so if he was coming back for more the quality must have been there.
