  • A league of Their own- Auctioneer Competiton

    A league of Their own- Auctioneer Competiton
    Jan 28 2026
    🔥 NEW EPISODE | Western Ag Life Podcast 🔥 We sit down with Michael Imbrogno, one of the most knowledgeable minds in auctioneer competition, to break down all nine head-to-head matchups in the brand-new auctioneer league, A League of Their Own. We go matchup by matchup, making our picks on who we believe wins each battle, while diving into what truly separates elite auctioneers when they’re judged head-to-head by professional buyers. This concept is something the auction industry has never seen before — auctioneers competing directly against one another, evaluated by the very people who buy for a living. Few people understand auction competition at Michael’s level, and his insight brings real depth to this conversation. 🎧 Available now on YouTube and all major podcast platforms. #WesternAgLifePodcast #WesternAgLife #AuctionIndustry #Auctioneers #LivestockAuction #AuctioneerLife #LeagueOfTheirOwn #AuctionCompetition #HeadToHead #ProfessionalBuyers #AgPodcast #RanchingLife #FarmingLife #WesternLifestyle #InnovationInAg #LivestockMarketing #CattleIndustry #AgTalk
