SAL are both excited and proud of the achievement of one of our young livestock agents, Josh Pahl, in winning the SA leg of the National Young Livestock Auctioneers award.
Josh was selected as the SA winner from 3 very good young auctioneers from SA and interestingly all 4 of the finalists come from the SE of the state.
Josh along with the runner up Jack Guy will compete in the National Finals at the Royal Sydney show at Easter next year.
Josh is based out of our Naracoorte operation and is also rapidly developing his role, his client base and creating value for his clients and customers as a livestock agent in the Upper SE, and parts of the Mallee regions of SA.
This is a tremendous performance from Josh and a great reward for his hard work in his auctioneering craft, his willingness to listen and learn from the many people who have helped, coached, and encouraged his growth as a young auctioneer, and particularly his mentor, Senior Livestock agent and auctioneer with SAL, Mat McDonald.
We will look forward as to how Josh goes in the National competition, but probably more importantly his role in the future for SAL as a skilled and professional auctioneer.
