Description

George E. Light and other cattle owners ("Light") entered into contracts with the Rio Grande Land & Cattle Co. ("Rio Grande") for the feed and care of Lights cattle. When Rio Grande presented its bill for feed lot services Light believed it excessive and instituted suit for alleged overcharges. After a jury trial the trial court rendered judgment for Light against Rio Grande awarding actual damages based on the "excessive cost of gain" of Lights cattle over the cost of gain incurred by Rio Grandes stockholders in fattening their cattle on the lot. Light also received prejudgment interest on the sum at the rate of 6% per annum.
