Like any business biography there is a Past, Present & Future profile.
PAST
The Auction world has always been a familiar place for me as I was raised and 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.
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 have 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. Joining as a member of professional associations such as CAI, NAA, and OAA. I pursued countless hours of continuing education which contributed 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 a finalist in the National Livestock Auctioneer competition.
At first our primary auction setting was in” LIVE “Estate & Personal Property, Real Estate Auctions, along with Farm & Livestock Auctions. For over 35 years now our customer following has been consistent with our professionalism and successful auction execution.

In 2009 PICKETT AUCTION SERVICE embarked in a new direction “Online Bidding Auctions”. With continued education and advanced training in computer technology, including the welcoming of the “WORLD WIDE WEB” our company navigated toward one of its largest changes to date. Our first online auctions presented extreme learning curves. We had to re-write how we conducted an auction (compared to the good old days). Changing how we should now present the product to our public. We had to restructure advertising policies and reassess staff needed along with a location to have a successful auction. As we all know “Rome wasn’t built in a day.” No truer words have ever been spoken.
Here we are now years later and believe we are leaders in the online auction industry. In the first year we conducted internet auctions my competitors told me I was crazy and going to ruin the auction business! “You’ll never make it work. People won’t want to buy a tractor on the internet or “farmers can’t run a computer”. They kept saying “you can’t.” As we very clearly know now it does work and many of those critics are trying to “catch up” and have joined us in online platforms.
future
Here at Pickett Auction Service, we strive to continue moving forward and growing with the times. Along with the internet and advancing software platforms the “Auction Product” is right at the fingertips of our customers. Removing the difficulties of location and time challenges. Travel and shipping plans can be made after you have been determined the “Winning Bidder”. The conveniences are remarkable.
Currently we are a full team of staff members including our sons. With fresh and young insights, we are still growing and changing our auction business. Our team of staff are exceptional.
Pickett Auction Service is committed to our customers and our company will strive to keep "Raising the Bar for the Auction Industry."
