The Auctioneer Championships were this past week in St. Onge & Deadwood South Dakota. Will, Austin, Kealy, Kyle, & Jon all had a chance to attend. Industry meetings were fantastic. The contest was great & Jace Thompson from Billings Montana won the 2026 Championships. Austin Schaben made the top 10 & was recognized as the high scoring rookie in the contest. The Auction lost a dear friend last week. Butch Reimer, cattleman from Danbury passed away. Our very best to his entire family. If you sold feeders this past season on a precondition auction, their annual supper is coming up Tuesday July 7th at the fairgrounds in Dunlap. You should have received an invite & if you haven’t, please call us at the office.
