In 1969, Larry attended Mason City, Iowa School of Auctioneering and started Drenon Auction Service. Now, many hundreds of central Missouri auctions later, the Drenon family sells with the same motto: treat everyone with honesty, respect, and integrity. At a young age, Larry started working at a livestock auction and later was given the privilege of auctioning the cattle there.  He eventually owned/operated the livestock auction.  Thus auctioneering became his passion; a passion he still enjoys after 50 years. Even though the livestock auction torch has now been passed, Larry, along with youngest son Laramie,  keeps busy with on-site auctions.                                                                           

Larry and his wife, Linda, live on a farm near Lincoln where Larry raises beef cattle.  

Laramie  attended Missouri Auction School in 2005. In addition to auctioning on sale day, he is active in setting up and preparing the auction items. In addition to auctioning, he is the owner of a commercial mowing business. 

Lacey (Drenon) Smallwood has been clerking and cashiering the sales for over thirty years. She graduated from Mo Auction School in 2017, She is the owner and acting broker of Lincoln Realty. 

We are proud to see the next generation taking an interest in the auction business!  Cooper Smallwood graduated from Missouri Auction School early in 2021. Most of the time you can find Cooper in the office cashiering the sales, but ready when needed in the auction ring. ​
