If you have ever been there, it is an awesome feeling to have a good or better yet, great sale. You have done all you can do to breed them �right,� manage the cattle in such a way as to perform the best possible for your customers, advertised your sale to the world and put all available pertinent information in a readable, attractive informative sale catalogue. When sale day comes and your parking area is filled with cars, trucks and trailers, the seats are overflowing and there is excitement and anticipation in the air, you feel a deep sense of gratitude and humility. This was the case at Willow Oak Ranch on February 17.

Richard Arnold is a passionate man who figures things out and is dedicated to follow through with whatever stirs his heart and mind. He and his staff have built an enviable reputation, one bull and one customer at a time. It hasn't come easy, but as the last several sales are witness to, they are well on their way to being among the elite in the beef seedstock production and marketing, focusing on progressive commercial cattlemen.

Again, Willow Oak Ranch took advantage of �Superior Production� and Colonel Jeff Stansberry did a super job, including selling all 130 bulls in the prescribed 120 minutes determined by RFD-TV. Congratulations to both buyer and seller. Sale day was a good day, even for onlookers who were all treated to a wonderful sale facility, luncheon and hospitality. Willow Oak Ranch personnel are already focused on their next sale in February of 2008.
