    Go to your nearest livestock auction on sale day and start talking to people. If nobody knows you and you don't have any contacts in the business it might be tough to get started.

    Start hanging out at cattle auctions... Keep your eyes open for guys that go to almost all nearby auctions, and bid alot. There is a high likelyhood these guys are cattle brokers, they are the kind of guys you need to get in good with to really stay busy. But its not an easy thing to get in good with them, I would know... I used to work for one.
