Do What Is Right And Fear No One!

A coaching friend of mine named Floyd Keith grew up on a farm. He told me that they raised livestock to maturity and sold them at auctions. He said the price was determined in most cases by the pound. They were weighed on a scale similar to the attached photograph..

His father relayed the story about how many ranchers would over-feed their animals just for the weigh in to receive an over inflated price. His dad said they buyers would be up in arms days after the purchase and feel cheated. They would often return to the next auction looking for the person who sold them the fattened livestock.

Floyd’s father offered some sage advice, he said “son we are not going to operate that way. We are going to simply do what is right then we don’t have to fear anyone.”
