GASKINS, J.

This case involves the sale of stolen cattle. The trial court allowed recovery to those who were damaged by the wrongful conduct of the cattle seller, but also applied the principles of comparative fault to reduce their recovery. Most of the parties have appealed the trial court judgment or have answered the appeal. For the following reasons, we reverse in part and affirm in part the trial court judgment.
