Yank my chain!!!!

This gripes me to the max! I've had a couple people contact me, wanting to know if I had feeder/stocker steers. I have none for sale. I've referred them to someone else I know that has great cattle, but wants market price for them (white cattle). So the wanter contacts the potential seller, and wants to really low-ball, hoping seller is in financial straights. That embarasses me, that I ever sent you there! Cattle are not cheap, and you can't expect quality cattle for nickel and dime offers.

We've talked about price hagglers and negotiators many times. I really like what BEZ described the last time we talked about negotiating.

It is annoying for someone to ask me to sell them hay for less than what I have invested in it. At times some people give me the impression they are almost to the point of being a thief yet they are almost treating me like a thief. Why did they even call to begin with? These are not people you want to do business with.
