Brian Oberholtzer says he pretty much knew he wanted to be an auctioneer at age 10.
âMaybe,â he said, âit was the fact I practiced selling our cows every day leading them from the pasture to the barn, while helping with the family dairy business.â
Oberholtzerâs mom, Lucy, said, chuckling, âBrian had the entire herd sold every morning and afternoon to imaginary bidders by the time he got back to the house.â
It did, however, take Oberholtzer a little longer than he expected to begin an auction career. Out of high school, he obtained a commercial driver license and began delivering wet cement for Eagle Concrete Co. in Reamstown. It was a company he bought at age 20 and managed for nearly 15 years.
