[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 664429, member: 7509"] In situations like this it is usually best not to make quick decisions under a lot of pressure. Buy yourselves some time. Why not move the cattle to the 5 acre tract for a short time. Buy a big stock tank and pay someone local there to bring them some water once a day or so. Maybe also buy some hay if needed. You can check on them once a week or so. This will give you and the uncle's wife and daughters some time to decide rather than under duress. If they come around to selling them you can get quotes from a number of buyers and not have to sell them quick in the next 72 hours. You will almost never get a fair price when you are under that sort of time pressure to sell. I would also have a vet come out and walk through them and give you his recommendations. Best of luck. I'm sure they will appreciate your help. They have to come to the final decision to sell or some other alternative. I would set a time limit in this though, like 30 days? Jim [/QUOTE]
