The most prestigious competition for young auctioneers in the Australian livestock industry produced two significant titles for Ray White Livestock.

Today, Ray White Guyra/Armidale's Blake O'Reilly won the state title for the Australian Livestock & Property Agents Association (ALPA) NSW Young Auctioneers competition. Moments later, last year's state winner, Chris Gooch of Ray White Garvin and Cousens in Tamworth, was announced as the runner-up in the ALPA National Young Auctioneers.

"We're very proud of these two young men," Ray White joint chairman Paul White said, "They've done a great job for the company and to have these two Ray White Livestock agents right up there as leaders in our industry proves we're doing in the right direction as a company."

"We were so impressed watching Chris in the national titles competitions and Blake is a real up and coming talent in our industry." The finals were broadcast live on The Land website and you can follow the competition on facebook.
