Fast-talking P.A. auctioneer heads to international competition
A local auctioneer is set to take the world stage to prove he’s one of the fastest talking Canadians.
Brennin Jack, the head auctioneer at Heartland Livestock in Prince Albert, will be the only Canadian competing with 31 other auctioneers at the World Livestock Auctioneer Championship in Paris, Kentucky on June 15 to 19.
In the first round of the championship they’ll sell 4,000 cattle in a live sale, as well as face down three questions in an interview round worth 25 per cent of their final score.
“It’s not just talking fast,” Jack said. “You have to have some brains, too.”
