[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1844562, member: 40587"] I agree with you ,[USER=32659]@Lucky[/USER] . Some people can go to a local sale themselves, or live close enough to a replacement heifer breeder to go there themselves. A lot are bought and sold off video and photos. A lot of production sale animals are bought over the internet or phone, And a lot are bought by someone they hired to get cattle for them. Or maybe jus a friend that can go for them. In the past 3 years, I have bought 5 herds for 5 clients. One I carried with me to the breeders or sales. Others I put together by going to sales and breeders myself, and by using folks like myself in other states or other parts of Ga. One client a couple years ago that wanted 100 Brahmas, I got 80 of them by getting a colleague in central Florida to put them together. After I got them. the client decided he wanted 40 more. Hardest herd I bought for a client, was for one who wanted 150 Bra x Herf cows. Ended up having to actually get 35 reg Brafords to get 150 quality cows.
