World Dairy Expo Recap ... Best of the Best!

The real reason everybody is at the Alliant Energy Center the first week in October is because of some 4 legged bovine beauties. Yes, you can have as many booths and feed info and supplies places you want but the truth is we would not be there at all if it were not for the dairy cow. The best of the best goes through the ring in Madison the first week of October. The thought of owning something that even looks like she belongs there is a thrill. (at least for the average breeder) Pictured is our Beebow Champion Gloria, being shown by our daughter Joseta. My favorite picture is the rear shot. I call this "THE WALK." It is the incredible journey from the barn to the show ring. The last moments of thought before the judge has his final word.

We purchased Gloria from Ivan, Mary and Nicholas Schuster last October. We Love having her in our barn and showing her this year was equally exciting. She was not by far the BEST at World Dairy Expo but she is our best and we were proud to have her there. Congratulations to all of the exhibitors that had dairy cattle at Expo. Whether you were on the top or on the bottom. You still are the best of the best. I hope everyone that reads these blogs gets it... The reason so many people travel to Madison the first week in October. A cultural, family oriented and rewarding experience that all should enjoy!
