Lorne Logan
Nova Scotia
As a livestock showman, the late Lorne Logan had no peers on this continent
and no equals. In fact, in many quarters where livestock showmen and stockmen
gather, this native Nova Scotian is acknowledged and remembered not only
as s greatest showman but, also, as the man who taught Canadian and American
exhibitors how to show cattle. Their number is legion.
In no quarter is this more recognized nor more willingly acknowledged
from coast to coast than in Holstein circles in which so many of the showmen
developed and trained by Mr. Logan have made their mark, and are to be
found.
His record as a herdsman and farm manager are equally as impressive for
during his long and active career, Mr. Logan developed and managed some
of the leading Holstein herds in Canada - herds which swept the board
at over 40 of the leading livestock expositions on this continent, and
which compiled enviable records of production in the bargain. His record
whilst at Lonsdale Farm is a classic example of his ability in this direction.
Mr. Logan was one of those rare individuals who was always ready and
willing to share his knowledge and his herd "know-how" with any and all
who exhibited a love for livestock and a willingness to learn.
Few men are there who become legends in their own tine; Lorne Logan was
one of these.
