thing is if you get in a bind you can always sell out the extra cows and permit. What I have seen is the slow cut in number or days that get push onto a permit.
Well things are moving along at a glacier pace in our cowdeal. I have gotten a bunch of great advice and feel I can make a deal when I get the other party to make a decision. Its frustrating for sure. Plan to corner him and get some commitments if possible. Will keep ya posted.
