A career selling livestock often appeals to youngsters growing up in farming families.This was certainly the case for NSA Scottish Region committee member and auctioneer James Scott, who is working towards being an associate of the Institute of Auctioneers of Scotland.James says: "The buzz of the market on sale day is unbeatable. Having experienced this growing up, combined with the sale of the family farm, I decided to venture into a career in auctioneering."I'm currently a trainee auctioneer and assistant sheep auctioneer at Craig Wilson Ltd, in Ayr, having just finished my second year of studying."Learning to appreciate your customers fully has been key in his career so far, according to James."The most important thing I have learnt since qualifying is, unfortunately,you cannot make everyone happy. You are the middleman working to achieve the best for your sellers. Without them you have no job, so you must do your best for them every time youstep into that box."
