Welcome to this select offering. Each year, we work to bring together items that represent a broad range of artistic disciplines. Collector pieces that include the Foundation's Limited Edition Print Series, The Great American Cowboy, are always popular among bidders.

Proceeds from the auction are used to help fund scholarship programs made available to students from the five-state region of North and South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming and Nebraska and who are seeking post-secondary education in agriculturally related career fields.

Advance bids on items listed below are also being taken. If we can be of further assistance, please feel free to contact me at 605-347-2562 or jjohnson@firstwesternbank.com. See you at the auction!

*The Black Hills Stock Show Foundation expresses its thanks to those artisans who donate in full or part. We also wish to thank Auctioneer Lynn Weishaar who each year, has donated his time and talent to call the Stockman’s Auction.

The 2006 Black Hills Stock Show is now just a memory but what a memory!! The Black Hills Stock Show Foundation extends our appreciation to the many people who helped our scholarship and grant programs with their generous contributions! We were able to raise over $24,000 at the Stockman’s Banquet and Ball on February 1^st. The wonderful selection of items to auction off made for an exciting evening of fun and fundraising. Lynn Weishaar and John Johnson kept the bids and action going!! Some of the items will be on display at various locations. The beautiful original painting by Mick Harrison, “The Finals Pickup Men”, was purchased by Dave Strain and will reside at the Crazy Horse Monument. The #1 print went home with Deiter Bros. from Faulkton, SD. The 20X Extreme Rodeo Shirt and Landstom’s pins donated by Steve and Kim Sutton will be on permanent display in the Black Hills Stock Show Foundation window in the Civic Center. Capco Cattle Company purchased the Tony Chytka Bronze titled, “Remuda”. Warren Windows added to the headstall collection. We think Gary Cammack is going to be very comfortable in his new recliner from Freed’s Furniture! Kevin Arnold purchased the Walker Revolver. Every year the items are more exciting and unique. There are some well dressed cowboys and cowgirls out there wearing the unique items they purchased! Thank you also to all the beautiful rodeo queens for showing the items to the crowd.

It is an honor to be part of the Black Hills Stock Show and the Stockman’s Ball. The BHSS Foundation wants to thank the committee from the BHSS for allowing us to be a part of this exciting event. A big congratulations to Art Handel, Jon Harrington and Marvin and Mae Maude for their well deserved recognition.
