(Wisconsin Ag Connection) An auctioneer from Clark County will be among the participants in a regional qualifying event for the World Livestock Auctioneer Championship Contest.

According to the Wisconsin Ag Connection, Mark Oberholtzer of Oberholtzer Dairy Cattle & Auction Co. in Loyal will face 29 other competitors in Virginia this week. Each qualifying event is a live sale where each contestant auctions eight drafts of livestock to actual bidders.

Contestants are judged on the clarity of their auction chant; professionalism; and their ability to conduct the sale while catching bids. The top 10 auctioneers will go on to compete in the semi-finals for the 2022 WLAC in Indiana.
