[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1815768, member: 6291"] Just straight up flipping animals or things on people is frowned on with most people I deal with. They feel like if you know you can get more for it right away and don't tell them, you took advantage of them, by not letting them know. I'm not sure I would share the same sentiment if it was done to me, but I definitely don't do it because it's not worth taking a chance, imo. I would just tell them straight up I think I can sell these for x amount more and give them the option to sell the cattle themselves or partner with me or what ever. I just prefer to lay the cards out there so there is no hard feelings. Doing things with friends is always dicey. I have a friend that we have cattle together. I bought a couple weaned heifers from him early on. We picked out heifers to keep amd heifers to sell. I liked a couple red heifers he had in the sell pen. I asked him how much he wanted, he looked at the previous sale and gave me a number. Done deal. Thought it was a win-win. I don't even offer any more because any time after that I would mention one he would jack the price up on me. The heifers I bought from him turned out really nice. Looking back I think he thought I kind of "took him" by not suggesting he keep them for himself and then buying them. I thought I was doing right by keeping my mouth shut about his cattle. Hindsight, after years of doing it together, he wants me to speak up because he is unsure some times. It's not a good situation to mix money in. Live and learn. [/QUOTE]
