Iowa auctioneer Brandon Frey won the title of the Kansas Auctioneer Association’s Livestock Auctioneer Championship as he topped a 16-contestant field on Oct. 22 in an event hosted by Russell Livestock.

Frey received a belt buckle and a cash prize. Runner-up was Andrew Sylvester, Wamego, Kansas. John Kisner, Hays, Kansas; Barrett Simon, Benton, Kansas, and Quest Flesner, of Missouri, placed third through fifth, respectively.
