78 - Characters in Livestock - Alec Ogg

Not just a character in Livestock this week but more of a legend. Alec Ogg was one of the rare breed that progressed from master stockman to master breeder in the Angus cattle world. As well as bringing out bulls for many top herds, he won Perth with his own stock on numerous occasion. However, he will perhaps be mostly remembered for achieving one of the greatest international honours in history, one that doubtfully will ever be repeated, by bringing out the ‘triple crown’ winner on three continents in one year.
