The speed of speech of the auctioneers certainly impresses more than one. Témiscamingian Éric Clouâtre describes this well -known trade in the agricultural community.
In Quebec, the auctioneer profession is not a recognized or well -known profession so not many of us practice it. There are still some companies. We have auctioneers who specialize in cars. I would say we are five to six auctioneers to specialize in animalshe describes.
Before becoming one of the voices raised during the sale of antiques, machinery and animals for the Encan Network, Éric Clouâtre followed his father to the auction.
We had a dairy cow operation. My father always told people, “I don’t know how many times Eric sold the cows,” while milking the cows. The song I practiced when I was younghe says.
Éric Clouâtre travels between Saint-Hyacinthe, Saint-Isidore and Denneville for animal auction sales. He was also called to visit farms for selling estates or closing businesses.
Knowing the market and advising clients to sell at the right time is part of the job … like speaking very fast!
This is a song we created. We have our own auctioneer-to-auctioneer song. In the sentence quickly said, it is to look a little: “I have 25, who gives me 30?” It’s always a roll to get to the next number with speed and clarity in your voice.he said.
