It takes away from what it’s supposed to be,” he said. “My mother-in-law’s never heard me auction ’cause she’s never been here when we were having a sale,” he said. “I wouldn’t even do it for her.” Bulat the 18th annual auctioneer championship, which was held June 12 at the Saint Paul Umon Stockyards in So.

He passed away a couple years back, but he used to sell at our auction,” Jaggers said. “We both had heard him and liked him and possibly we picked up some things from him.” Even though his father, Bob, with whom he now has a part nership, has owned Sheridan Livestock Commission Company for nearly 27 years, Jaggers never expected to become part of the business. Up until 1971 his father had another partner, and Jaggers never envisioned there would be room for him. So after graduating from high school and marrying his wife, Kathy, he took business classes at nearby Chadron State College. Then, one day during his second year of college, his father called. “He said, ‘I bought the other guy out’ and asked if I’d be interested in giving it a try,’’ Jaggers said. Soon afterward Jaggers and family moved back to Rushville. MEMO HAY, STRAW & EAR CORN SALE EVERY MONDAY At 11A.M. NEW HOLLAND SALES STABLES, INC. Phone 717-354-4341 Lloyd H.
