[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1815742, member: 42463"] I agree with everything you said... but the people selling the calves will probably not see that logic and will probably have "feelings". A guy hired me to haul a couple of cows to the sale barn one day, and we chased those cows around his pasture for hours until we got them in the trailer. So I asked him what he was expecting to get and if he'd sell the cows to me for that price. He named a figure and it was doable... and I told him I'd buy them less the hauling fee which he would have had to pay to get them to the sale barn... and he agreed. But apparently he took it hard that I deducted the price to haul the cows because he would never sell any cows to me after that... even though HE agreed to the deal. I'd go help him work his cows to be a good neighbor, but if the subject came up that he was selling anything, and I asked him for a price, he'd give me a sideways look and say they weren't for sale. People are weird and it's too easy to make an enemy without doing anything. [/QUOTE]
