Pat Goggins Memorial Angus Scholarship
The family of Pat Goggins has provided a $11,750 gift, creating the Pat Goggins Memorial Angus Scholarship Endowment Fund. Goggins was a publisher, columnist, auctioneer, livestock market owner, real estate broker and longtime Angus breeder from Billings, Mont. He gained great prestige in the Angus industry working as a fieldman and ringman for Western Livestock Journal, the Montana Farmer Stockman and Western Livestock Reporter. A self-taught auctioneer, Goggins became one of the leading purebred livestock auctioneers in the U.S. Over the years, Goggins’ keen business sense led him to acquire three auction markets, numerous ranches and feedlots, the first livestock video auction, a real estate company and other business ventures. Showing their respect and admiration for Goggins, numerous Angus breeders and friends have made memorial gifts to the fund. Selection criteria for the Pat Goggins Memorial Scholarship includes first preference being given to Angus youth from Montana.
