J
ohn Ball has been running his mouth for for-
ty-fve years and he isnt about to stop now!
He has outlasted expectations, odds, a major
health issue, and many of his peers! The auction
company that John started fresh out of college in
1969, Ball Auction Service, is celebrating its forty-
ffth year of business and still going strong!
The chances of a company surviving 45 years
are shockingly slim. In fact, data from the US De-
partment of Labor shows that, of all private sec-
tor businesses started in 1994, only 24.6 percent
were still in business sixteen years later in 2010.
Beating the odds and keeping your business alive
and thriving over multiple decades defnitely takes
more than having a marketable product or service.
Quality service is Ball Auction Services long
standing trademark and there is never a question
whether they are working for the customer (seller).
The next generation has bought into Johns eye for
detail and service and the team is well positioned

for the long term. Attend a few auctions and
Ball Auction Service will be at the top of your
Rolodex when you decide to have your auc-
tion.
- Norm Wolff, auction-goer (and tractor buyer)
Ball Auction Service didnt happen into suc-
cess, John planned for it and worked hard
for it and never gave up on it. From my early
childhood, I gave 100% to everything all of
the time. Somehow I was still always the un-
derdog, but I guess that way I was always in
the shade!
Johns early days as an auctioneer were all
about the experience - the time on the mi-
crophone calling bids and fne-tuning that
process. His weekends consisted of a 550
mile weekend trip. He would leave Stillwa-
ter, Oklahoma, after he fnished his Friday
classes at Oklahoma State University, and
head straight to the livestock auction barn in
Hugo, Oklahoma to work as relief auction-
eer. He did his part and was fed a good meal
(especially for a college student) and then
headed straight to Denton, Texas, where he
would stay the night in the home of auction-
eer, George Williams, before they went to
work at the livestock auction in Pilot Point,
Texas, on Saturday together. Following that
Saturday auction, John would drive his 1964
dark cherry red Valiant to his granddads
place in Agra, Oklahoma, and spend Sunday
doing as many farm chores as two people
could get done in a day before fnally return-
ing to the Farmhouse Fraternity in Stillwater
to study and complete assignments for his
classes. His income for the weekend was
$50 plus all his meals.
Now, four and a half decades later John has
earned a reputation as a solid auction man-
ager and beloved auctioneer - someone even
other auctioneers will hire or recommend to
their families! He has sold over $100,000,000
in real estate; sold over $100,000,000 worth
of personal property and shares the suc-
cess and the business with his son, Justin
Ball. Together, they have made Ball Auction
Service into one of the regions benchmark
auction companies.
Justins start in the auction industry is quite
different from Johns - no 550 mile roundtrip
each weekend. However, it wasnt an easy
start either, he did have to sacrifce almost
every weekend of his childhood for auc-
tion setup, go-fer-ing (running coffee, clerk
sheets, etc), and clean up, until one day in
1991 John handed Justin the microphone
during an auction and welcomed him to the
bid-calling ranks.
Dad had me practicing for quite awhile but
never told me when I was going to actually auc-
tioneer. I would practice as we drove up and
down the road, or when I was working on the
tractor. Then one morning when we arrived at
the auction site, my Dad said, today is the day.
I tried to say I wasnt ready, but he insisted and
sure enough, I did sell that day and the people
were great. Being a beginning auctioneer, at a
young age, the people were very tolerant, and
really helpful. I sold some boxes for one, two,
three dollars, but thats how I got my start.
Fast forward 23 years, but keep that micro-
phone in Justins hand and place him on stage
at the Oklahoma State Auctioneers Associa-
tion convention and competition. Thats where
he found himself this year - just a few months
ago - competing in the annual professional
bid-calling contest. The contest included pre-
liminary live bid-calling, a round of interviews
and a live bid-calling fnals. Justin will repre-
sent Oklahoma at the International Auction-
eers Contest in Louisville, Kentucky, at the
National Auctioneers Association Conference
this summer.
Suffce to say a lot of practice, auctions, and
education flled the time between that 14-year-
old Justin and the state champion auctioneer
he is today. Aside from earning his bachelors
degree from Oklahoma State University, Justin
holds an Oklahoma real estate license and is
in his second year of a three year educational
program for auctioneers, Certifed Auctioneers
Institute (CAI).
Justin says it was really an honor to win the
bid-calling title and it was a fun competition,
but emphasizes that being an auctioneer is
about a lot more than bid-calling. Auction-
eering - or bid calling - is just a small part of
what we do, a small part of the overall pro-
cess. We spend a lot of time talking to people
about what their problem or situation is; then
we put time into coming up with a solution that
will work specifcally for them. Whether its an
estate that needs to be settled; a business liq-
uidation; a person who has taken a job some-
where and needs to sell before they move; or
just someone having a transition in their life.
People come to us and say this is what we
need to achieve and then we fgure out a plan
to do it. Sometimes its a straight-forward pro-
cess with a focus on local marketing and then
we get into some projects that are larger and
more complicated - drawn out over time and
on a national scale. Even beyond that, with our
online bidding platforms we have gone beyond
the borders of the United States. We also put
a lot of thought into marketing whatever the
commodity is on that particular auction loca-
tion - beyond the advertising - the sale order
and organization of items. There are a lot of
strategies we employ to make sure we have an
organized and successful auction. There are
a lot of things that happen between the frst
phone call and the start of the bid-calling.
Sure these guys really know their industry that
much is clear by their success, but they also
have a reputation of being very entertaining,
as well; and that may not be the cake - but its
defnitely the icing (and really, who wants cake
with no icing?). Clearly these guys love what
they are doing and that has to contribute to
their forty-fve years of growth and success!
Sale day action is a lot of fun! Things are go-
ing to happen and I am going to be right in the
middle of it milking it for all its worth! Calling bids
is really the part all auctioneers love and enjoy -
thats the reason they became auctioneers. The
real trick is getting the opportunity to auctioneer
and get paid for it! The auction process is a very
old and proven form of selling that has stood
the test of time, a successful auctioneer must
organize and orchestrate the entire process to
achieve a desirable result. I fgured out early on
in this business that getting paid is a by-product
of doing a good job and doing it right!

Rocking R Auctions was founded in 2012 after
owner Robert Rosales returned to Clovis, NM af-
ter attending the Texas Auction Academy in Lew-
isville, TX. He opened his frst auction gallery in
a small double garage in Clovis with the help of
his wife Jolene, his in-laws (Bobby and Arlene
Aragon) and a few friends. Together they were
able to produce a fun small town auction.
Robert and his crew were not new comers to the auc-
tion world as he had many years working for other
auctioneers in many aspects of the auction business
except as a bid caller. His wife Jolene has also worked
for other auctioneers in the offce of their auctions. His
father-in-law had his own small auction company that
Robert and Jolene helped out with when he needed
the help and his mother-in-law was also involved in
the offce with other auctioneers. (Bobby and Arlene
had a bid hand in helping another local auctioneer
start out and grow into a big successful company).
So knowing this, Robert knew that this would be a
great opportunity (plus all the experience his family
had didnt hurt) to start his own auction company.
In July 2013 he was able to purchase a 5,000 square
foot historical building in Clovis and moved opera-
tions there. Then in December 2013, he was asked
if he would come to Azle, TX once a month and host
an auction for another auction company. He agreed.
After his frst auction Azle, the other company came
to him and said they were getting out of business and
the auctions in Azle were all his. So once again he had
to move operations and is now at 404 W Main St in
Azle, TX.
Of course with all the growing that has happened, it
didnt come without any problems. But they were able
to overcome all the obstacles. His in-laws regularly
make the trip from Northern New Mexico to Azle for
the auctions where Bobby is his lead ring man, Arlene
shares registration and cashiering duties with Laurie
Miller (who also does clerking work as well as auction
prep), and his wife is still his main clerk. Jolene is ac-
tively training Laurie for this position as Jolene is also a
full time student at Parker University and will be gradu-
ating as a Doctor of Chiropractic in about 3 years. And
of course 2 of his original crew have since moved to the
Dallas/Ft. Worth area and still work part time for him as
ring man (Daniel Lee) and Runner (Holly Rippie). They
also enable the help of the local organization Teen Chal-
lenge (a program to help addicts overcome their addic-
tions to drugs and alcohol) to help with the loading of
large items and clean up. And of course they are always
on the lookout for a new and up and coming auctioneer
to help out when the need arises.
Rocking R Auctions & Realty specialize in the auction
method of marketing for both personal and real prop-
erty, as well as livestock, charity & fundraising events,
and even specialty sales.
Since Robert has moved operations to Azle, he has also
become a real estate agent for Keller Williams. He is
looking forward to his career as an auctioneer/agent
and this is keeping him pretty busy, but he still gets to
go back to New Mexico to host auctions there as well.
And yes, his original crew still comes to help out at the
auctions.
One auction that Robert and Jolene started in New
Mexico (and will continue in Azle) is the Christmas Kids
Auction. This is a free auction for the kids in the commu-
nity who would not normally have a Christmas for what-
ever reason. He asks for new toys for kids from 4 years
old up to 16 years old form his customers and clients.
Then in November, he and Jolene will go shopping for
toys (with the help of kids of course) and spend $2,000
to $3,000 on new toys and 1 new tablet computer. Every
Child will be given a $300 credit to bid with. The tablet
will be given away to one bidder (only kids are allowed
to bid) at the end of the auction. When asked why he
does this, he replied I like kids and these kids like to
have Christmas presents. They (the kids) might not have
any Christmas presents under the tree and with this
auction; they will get to enjoy more than just the basic
necessities like clothing and food. And what kid doesnt
like toys? He plans on keeping this tradition alive as
long as he is in Azle. And with the help of the building
owners and community, he doesnt see why it wouldnt
be an annual event.
Roberts company Rocking R Auctions & Realty has big
plans for their future. Besides the auction gallery in Azle,
he is looking at being able to expand to a second gallery
in another part of the DFW metroplex. And of course he
is always open for traveling to other areas to help oth-

And would love the opportunity to help another auctioneer
start his own company. Of course besides his love of the
