Canada's Top Auctioneers Competing In Winnipeg

May 29, 2015

Canada's top livestock auctioneers are competing in Winnipeg today. Scott Anderson is part owner of Winnipeg Livestock Sales, and says they're hosting the Canadian Livestock Auctioneer Championship.

"We're going to have 30 of Canada's top auctioneers all basically in the livestock industry. A lot of the guys are selling cattle two or three times a week. This brings them all into Winnipeg for one day of selling. And they are going to be judged by six people that have been in the industry for a number of years."

Anderson explains the competition's part of a larger event this year.

"It's all in conjunction with the Livestock Marketers Association of Canada with their annual conventions. It brings a lot of the industry leaders into Winnipeg for the weekend. And it not only gives us a chance to showcase a lot of the auctioneers, but to bring people into Winnipeg for a couple of days, and we play host, shake a lot of hands, and share a lot of laughs."

The Brent® Avalanche® dual-auger grain carts have set powerful standards for unloading speed, convenience, capacity and durability. The all-new 98-Series of Avalanche grain carts carry on this tradition and give the operator more auger side reach and height along with choice of right- or left-hand unloading to meet individual preferences. The dual-auger design provides a narrow transport width and low profile for greater stability and ease of transport and features the fastest unloading speeds, no matter the moisture of grain. In addition to the industry’s first pivoting vertical unloading auger, the 98-Series is standard with a 4-way directional downspout that is operated on the tractor’s SCV remotes. The all-welded construction, rubber cushioned tongue suspension and heavy-duty dual-belt drive system ensure years of dependable service. Capacities range from 3,150 to 1,100 bushels and with unloading speeds up to 1,000 bushels per minute depending on model, operators can get back to the combine quicker to keep harvest moving smoothly. Bigger, faster, better. The Avalanche 98-Series dual-auger grain carts feature dynamic performance that now pivots to new heights.
