The party most likely to suffer the loss is Rodeo Ranch. In agency law, an agent can be authorized to enter into contracts with third parties on behalf of the principal party. Here, Rodeo Ranch is the principal, and Slim is the agent of Rodeo Ranch. Slim has entered into a contract with a third party (Upper Range) on behalf of Rodeo Ranch, which makes Rodeo Ranch liable.
