I have to know someone pretty good before I'll do a joint business thing. It sounds like your partner in the cow business thinks he is calling the shots.

Sounds like your neighbor is taking advantage. He needs an A$$ kicking.

Sounds like those cows would be sold in ONLY MY NAME and the check to ME would go in MY account. Then, let the other ask for their share -- which would be reduced by my 1/2 of the escapee. Don't lay down & take a stomping.
They've been on YOUR pasture growing?? You should get an offset for that, unless something was already worked out, i.e. less than 1/2 buy cost, etc.

Ummm not to get pissy or anything, 
but I thought you said the person down the road could keep the escapee and to heck with it... I read that as you washed your hands of that particular animal... Might have misinterpreted, the benefactor may have as well...

I did say that but still felt like the right thing for him to do was offer me half of the money. We were suppose to go half on everything but so far thats not happening. At the time of the escapee cow I was so frustrated I said the heck with it.
He hasnt helped me with the cows at all. Ive spent money on food, vet bills, and not to mention how high my water bill has gotten having to fill 110 g water trough 3 times a week.
We went in together on cows last year, which were the ones in my old avatar, but lost money on them as they didnt get alot at auction. So this year I had decided on Angus and mentioned it to him. I wanted to know if he felt the price the people were asking was reasonable. Long story short, I had to put up the money at first until he could pay me his share. That took about 4 months until he did. When he sold the runaway cow cause I didnt want it back on my property I only got what he still owed on her. I should of gotten that plus half. At that point I was just frustrated with the whole thing.
When we take these cows to sell he's keeping what he gets for "his" cow and I get the money for my cows. I know I say one thing one minute and do another another minute.

Russ and I are good friends for the most part, but it frustrates me that I have to bug him to get him to do anything. Will I get reimbursed for the feed, water, and vet bills? Nope. Right now he owes, if he payed, $200 for his share of the water bill, $40 for his share of the vet bill, and about $120 for the grain I bought at first to get them to come in and try to tame them down when they first came. So when these cows vet sold I know hes not gonna want to cough up the money. I wont go "halfies" with him next year. He wants cows he can put them on his land.Sounds like your neighbor is taking advantage. He needs an A$$ kicking.
P. S. Yes I have receipts for everything.

Wrong time of year to be selling but you definitely need out of this "partnership".
Currently, unless they are really poor quality 'cows', your neighbor is full of feces.
Store bought beef is still high and cattle at the auction barn ain't bringing poop.
Unless your local grocer is selling burger for less than $1.74/lb you will lose on that proposition all day long.

Never enter into an ag partnership without a written, agreed upon, signed and notarized partnership agreement and that goes doubly sure for the 'cow bidness'.

From my figures, yep. I wanted to take them to get vet checked and thier shots finished out, wormed. He didnt want to take them said it would cut into our profits. The cows were $500 a piece to buy. But Ive spent money on mineral tub, loose mineral, water trough, food, vet bill for the vet to come out, look, just look, at one cow breathing funny to tell me its allergies. I dont have a head shute. Just a stall in my barn.
I just wanted cows in the pasture to keep the grass ate down. Im not set up for handling them. I dont have and never had a trailer. Im hoping to get one so I dont have to borrow one. You can rent one from the CO- OP but its too small to handle 700 pound cows.
