Balog Auction Service - A Family Run Business
The family involvement at Balog Auction Service has built the business
from the ground up. Bob Balog, an Olds
College and Western College of Auctioneering (Billings, MT) graduate,
began selling in 1971. Brother, Darwin also attended the auctioneer
school in Billings and has since taken over the brunt of the load
in the everyday market schedule. Sister, Maureen, has been the office
manager since 1989. Her work ethic and personable attitude keep
customers coming back, sale after sale. Mother and Father, Louis
and Irene, gave the strength and direction to help the family stay
steadfast on the course. The loss of Irene in 2003 was a tough,
emotional setback to the entire business. Louis, Bob's son, attended
the auction school in Billings, in March of 2003 and now the 2nd
generation has rolled into the business. All the children, boys
and girls, take an active part in this busy lifestyle.
Over the past 30 years, Balog Auction has sold 2 million head of
livestock and have owned and operated part or all of eight different
auction markets, but in 1993, we decided to "come home"
and focus on the operations of markets owned at Lethbridge, Alberta
and seasonal sales held in the Tompkins, Saskatchewan market.
Farm and machinery sales are the other
major component of Balog Auction. We have managed and sold hundreds
of farm auctions of all sizes, across Western Canada and the largest
equipment dealer sale in Canada. We are one of the few auction companies
licensed in both Canada and the USA for all types of sales.
Balog Auction's commitment and involvement to our
community is second to none. Local 4-H, Youth Rodeo, Lethbridge
Regional Hospital and many other charities always come first. Bob
has also served at President of the Alberta Auctioneer's Association.
The roots here are deep - the commitment is unending and the
future is bright.
