He was one of a record-breaking 100 con testants who competed in the 1979 World Livestock Auc tioneer Championship held here at Livestock Exchange, Inc., June 16. At the age of 22, it may seem like Bison’s auc tioneering career is just beginning, but that’s far from the truth.

There might have been some younger since then, but at least at the time, I was the youngest.” Elson can’t remember wanting to be anything but an auctioneer. “Ever since they sent me to that schooL.once I got started, then that was all I wanted to do. I was still in high school when I first started selling at the market. I’d get out of school on sale days-that’s the only job I’ve ever had. He entered the Cham pionship for the first time in Calgary, Alberta in 1977 and snagged the title of co champion of the central region. “Right out of that contest I got a job South Dakota and a chance to get away from h0me...1 was only 20 and the guy called me on the phone and didn’t known how old I was.

When asked how he felt he performed the day of the competition, he said, “I thought I had done as good as I could do. I didn’t know if that was good enough, but I gave it all I had.” A lot of doors should be opening up for a young man who has accomplished so much. But, he’s looking over the situation anu said it hasn’t changed anything for him, “not yet, anyway...l’ll keep on going the way I have.” The annual Championship is sponsored by Livestock Marketing Association, Kansas City, Mo., and conducted by a subsidiary company, Livestock Market Digest, Inc., to focus on the professionalism of the auctioneer in livestock merchandising.
