[QUOTE="RScott, post: 1018352, member: 16191"] Good relationships and getting the word out, as everyone else said. Here's my story: I've put together a herd of about 225 cows in the past 2 years and started with 48 I found 30 minutes away on Cattlerange. Same rancher called me direct about 6 months later and we picked up 50 more from him. About 100 came by way of the two local sale barns - we made sure they knew we were looking for more and we got calls anytime small herd dispersals were coming in and head's up on their special cow sales. Add 25 retained heifers from our first calf crop and we are ready to put the bulls out with 225 head for a nice spring calving season next year. Even though this all happened in NE Oklahoma, I go up to Navasota (from home in Houston) quite often to check out their sales and Greg seems to work very well with the local cattlemen up there.
