The competitors will be selling off steers and will be judged on their clarity, diction, control and selling price.

This will be McGregor's third competition, third as a finalist and first time at the Sydney Easter Show.

He loves his job as a territory sales manager and that is why he takes part in the competitions.

"The part that I love most about my job is interacting with clients and working with livestock," McGregor said.

Cummins grew up on a sheep and cattle property near Taralga and that influenced his passion for his job and auctioneering.
