Chan is a relatively new owner of a large strawberry farm. He wants to move back from the countryside to the city to start up a small grocery store so his children can be close to their schools. One afternoon Peter comes to see Chans farm as Peter is interested in purchasing some farm land to expand his cattle business. Peter asks Chan how many cattle Chan thinks Peter can graze on the land. Chan says about 5000 cattle. Based on this assessment Peter agrees to buy the land from Chan and they both sign the contract for sale of the farm.
