Young Cattle Auctioneer Champion - America's Heartland

It takes speed, stamina and livestock savvy to be the best in the country when it comes to auctioning cattle. Bailey Ballou is a repeat winner at the annual event taking place, this year in Turlock, California. But also in the competition is a young man with the rhythm of a rap superstar, 18 year old Blaine Lotz.

@@TIREPROD I think the North American auctioneer chant is unique, just like the pyramids in Paupa New Guinea. While auctions exist all over the world, they are purposely made clear and plain so everyone know exactly how much money is involved. The American auctioneer chant is the exact opposite of what the world does, so that is why it is an unique cultural practice.

Back and forth and so on and so forth until every cow was auctioned off. Over the radio you'd hear the radio guy talking about the auction and in the background, you'd hear one of the brothers auctioneering.

Well actually the auctioneers often say things like (example) :120 here-give 10 more...I got 130-really good cattle-gottta give more....140-you gonna give 140...? And of course they fill the gaps with their singing tunes... In Kansas and many other places you will find auctineer schools.
