Monday Morning Photo: Auctioneering for Exclusive Genetics

My family has been in the auction business for years and I have spent quite a few years as a auctioneer. My passion has always been working with livestock so I headed in that direction and left the auctioneering behind. I really liked selling and have been trying to figure out how to get to auctioneering a little again. I keep finding when you desire something it will manifest itself.

I got asked to do the auctioneering for Exclusive Genetics during the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo and am having lots of fun doing it.

I spent a couple classes last week at Colorado State University discussing animal welfare and animal handling.  The second session I demonstrated how different positions affected the way cattle responded and how if cattle are worked how they like it they will respond well and get real trusting (even in a snow storm). Thanks to Ruth Woiwide for the invitation, to the students for listening, and to Temple for always inspiring me to think and get better.
