On June 1, Seller and Buyer contracted in writing for the sale and purchase of Seller's cattle ranch (a large single tract), and to close the transaction on December 1. Assume the following facts. On October 1, Buyer told Seller, "I'm increasingly unhappy about our June 1 contract because of the current cattle market, and do not intend to buy your ranch unless I'm legally obligated to do so." If Seller sues Buyer on October 15 for breach of contract, Seller will probably 
win, because Buyer committed a total breach by anticipatory repudiation on October 1.  win, because Buyer's October 1 statement created reasonable grounds for Seller's insecurity with respect to Buyer's performance.  lose, because the parties contracted for the sale and conveyance of a single tract, and Seller cannot bring suit for breach of such a contract prior to the agreed closing date.  lose, because Buyer's October 1 statement to Seller was neither a repudiation nor a present breach of the June 1 contract.
