Jared Miller of Leon, Iowa, proved his world-class talent as a livestock auctioneer at the 55th annual World Livestock Auctioneer Championship, presented by the Livestock Marketing Association. Bloomington Livestock Exchange, Bloomington, Wisconsin, hosted the contest.
In his acceptance speech, Miller said, “Wow. I said yesterday that this is a moment I’ve dreamt about. A few words come to my mind: thankful, grateful, blessed.”
Also in his acceptance speech, Miller thanked his family, sponsors and various members of the livestock marketing industry, saying, “I heard a quote one time that if you see a turtle on top of a fencepost, he didn’t get there by himself. And I’m that turtle. I’ve had a lot of help along the way.”
Miller was sponsored by Lamoni Livestock Auction, Inc., Lamoni, Iowa.
