[QUOTE="Cowcatcher, post: 3799592, member: 43171"] I’ve got a feeling there’s more to the story. The heat mayve been a player but cattle been in that heat before and didn’t get dead. It is probably better for “someone” to blame the heat, maybe even get a lil benefit out of it rather than really getting to the root cause that may be an expensive lesson. Something just don’t smell right about this deal. I’m dropping a 1400 pound steer off in the morning to put in the freezer. The local processor whos also a friend of mine got my steer a slot to kill. Daggum, he’s booked out over a year on guaranteed dates but can usually squeeze one or two in every week due to cancellations cause folks got all panicky last year and booked several dates. Some booked several dates with a plan to make good money selling beef. Well, he said quite often the people don’t show up to drop they cattle they booked. Really a crappy deal cuz while paper says he’s booked way out in reality many are cancellations. I told him I’d start charging a Daggum booking fee. [/QUOTE]
