The plaintiff sold 26 cattle to the defendant for US$13,086.48. The defendant took delivery of 25 cattle (one escaped during loading), slaughtered and sold the meat but failed to pay the full purchase price. After acknowledging the debt and making partial payments totaling US$4,000, the defendant refused to pay the balance, claiming the cattle were of poor quality.
