James Culleton (I: @james_culleton) grew up on a Farm just outside of Williams in Western Australia. After attending boarding school in Perth and not really having a clear direction James started his livestock industry career as a trainee at age 19. In his 12-month traineeship Mr Culleton saw all sides of the company's livestock business - both commercial and stud stock, in locations such as Broome, Bunbury, Katanning and Albany and it was during the latter part of his traineeship that he started auctioneering.

Since finishing his traineeship Mr Culleton has been based at Corrigin for three and half years and last month he moved to Gnowangerup, taking up a new position covering the Gnowangerup, Ongerup and Borden areas.

He is the first representative from WA in six years to be invited to the Australian Livestock & Property Agents Association (ALPA) National Young Auctioneers Competition at Sydney Royal Easter Show.
