I give him the benefit of the doubt but I don't know him. I assume folks like me are honest. I have a freemartin as we speak. She will go to the sale just like other heifers I am not keeping. I don't hold it against anyone or feel bad if I buy a bunch of heifers and one doesn't settle. I give her a spring chance and then a fall chance. Then she heads back to the sale. I've done the same with gilts that I intend to breed. Sometimes they are like people - they just aren't able and there's nothing you can do.
Now, your situation. I know when things get busy for me I forget which sow or cow had what. I can't tell you how often I have to consult my cattle and pig books to know something I should remember. That's why I write it all down. I don't think it was some secret or the wife wouldn't have let it out and the guy wouldn't have fessed up. I don't sell much off the farm (usually feeder pigs) but when I do I double check to make sure they are getting my best. I can't look something in the eye and put the screws to them. I'd like to think this guy is the same and just doesn't usually have to consider a relationship with the animal/owner he meets. If he did I think he might keep better tabs. I see him as someone who must breed and sell but not have any registered stock.
