[QUOTE="cmjust0, post: 170632, member: 2882"] All good suggestions, and I appreciate'em... I'm especially glad to see that so many people here get creative with the task of weighing cattle -- truck stops, gravel pits, landfills, etc... Tells me that I'm not the only one looking to get accurate weights, nor am I the only one without a scale... I don't think I'll be so apprehensive about asking to have them weighed, knowing that such a thing isn't all that uncommon.. Besides, the more I think about it, the faster I think I should run from somebody who insists on selling their cattle to a greenhorn based on an eyeball weight guestimation... I figure the more certain they are that they're getting a good deal, the more likely it is that I'm getting the shaft... For that matter, an old hand with a good poker face could always look a lot less certain than they actually are.. :shock: Scales don't lie, though.. Except the one in my bathroom, of course, which is CLEARLY too high... :D [/QUOTE]
