A seller can take back goods and seek damages under the Uniform Commercial Code if a cash buyer does not pay the contract price.
Emmick contracted to buy cattle from Burk. When Burk delivered the cattle to Emmick, Emmick submitted two checks to Burk as payment. When the checks returned, Burk took back the cattle and sold them to another party for less than the contract price. The trial court granted judgment to Burk and Emmick appealed.
