Company Information

The word “Auction” has always been familiar, as I was raised in a family involved in the Livestock Auction Industry. In 1984 I attended and graduated from Western College of Auctioneering in Billings, Montana and later served as a bid calling instructor at WCA. Like most auctioneers you begin as a bid caller for existing companies. In 1992 I began my own company PICKETT AUCTION SERVICE. It was a gradual climb in a very competitive auction community.  From the beginning we strived to base our company on Honesty and Professionalism. I continued my education through the Auction Marketing Institute, keeping abreast of dynamic & fast paced changes in the auction industry. Becoming a member of professional associations such as CAI, NAA, and OAA. Along with countless hours of continuing education contributing to our growth along with practical experience, customer and client building and an eye for marketing detail. I have been a past state auctioneer champion and finalist in the National Livestock Auctioneer competition.

At first our primary business was in live Estate & Personal Property, Real Estate, and Farm & Livestock Auctions. Over a 25 year period our customer following was consistent with our professionalism and successful auction execution. We strived to successfully bring the “people to the product.”
