one ot the less pleasant aspects ot
his new-found fame, he said.
“They wanted me to auctioneer
over the phone or in the living
room,” he said. He refused to do it.
“I asked the T.V. man if he’d want
to do the weather without his

“then he understood a little bet
ter.”
Auctioneering outside a
livestock auction market just
doesn’t ring true to daggers it
makes it too much like a sideshow.
“To me, it’s a big downgrading
maybe. 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. St. Paul, Minn.,
he did it well enough to stand out
among the record 101 contestants.
Of course, there he had a few
drafts of cattle to work with.

when they attended the Western
College of Auctioneering in
Montana. ,
When Jaggers was asked if he
thought they had picked up their
winning auctioneering sytles at the
college, he pointed out a closer
influence. “We were both around
an old-time auctioneer, Jack
Churchill. 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.
