Hello! I am Del Ray Kraupie, a 3rd generation Auctioneer from the panhandle of Nebraska. I live in Bridgeport with my wife Stacy and daughter Whitley. I am a licensed Real Estate Agent and sell Land & Machinery with Kraupie's Real Estate & Auctioneers. I also am a partner in a small yearling operation north of Bridgeport. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Business from Chadron State College, I steer wrestled in the PRCA for 10 years and I am currently in the process of getting my private pilot's license. I have been involved in the sale barn business a little over 10 years.
