I was pregnancy checking cows for them and three representatives from a national cattle artificial insemination company walked in. The company offered a contract for big bucks (in those days) for a specific cow of the brothers to be bred with semen from a specific bull. A bull calf from that combination of genetics is what was needed. The company got a quick answer , "We don't want to mess with that and will just use our own bull."
The brothers went back to chores and ignored the company reps. The reps left.
These brothers were very sharp and knew the company would be back in a few weeks or months with a counter offer. No negotiating or friendly discussion with the reps was needed. Another company had also made an offer.
