[QUOTE="SPH, post: 1333444, member: 20580"] I don't get this either, the worst reputation you really can get as a buyer is taking possession of cattle then stiffing the seller on payment if he didn't ask for it up front. I don't care who the guy is, if someone was belly aching to me that he asked for another $150 a head on some cattle he sold after the fact he already took payment and delivery on them I wouldn't think bad of the buyer at all, I'd question the seller's motives. Like I said before, bringing your trailer and having cash in hand is all you need to solidify your reputation as a trustworthy buyer if someone has doubts about you. This guy isn't the only one that sells cattle so like others said, man up and stand firm that the deal has been completed. I think you risk more to your own reputation by caving into his demands than you do showing you aren't a pushover. Most reasonable cattlemen would probably respect you more for standing up for yourself I would think and if he doesn't well then you know you made the right decision by cutting ties with him and there are plenty of reputable cattlemen out there that would be glad to do business with you. The sale barn doesn't call you up the next week after the cattle prices have dropped asking for some money back because the calves you just sold the other week wouldn't bring as much now as they did then, all sale prices are final once money has exchanged hands.
