September 9, 2013/in Culture/by Maurer-Stutz

October 1-5, 2013

Stop by and say hi to Terry Feldmann or Jason Olmstead at booth AL119 lower level of the coliseum.

World Dairy Expo is where the dairy industry meets.andnbsp; No other dairy event in the world compares. Designed for dairy producers and industry partners, World Dairy Expo is a showcase for elite dairy cattle, cutting edge research, and modern technologies.

As a visitor, you might choose to tour the huge commercial exhibit display area or watch the virtual farm tours to gather ideas for your operation. Or you might relax with the Coliseum crowd to see the dairy cattle exhibitors compete for coveted awards or get caught up in the lively bidding at one of the breed sales to purchase top genetics. Some families like to attend to observe the latest fitting and showing techniques to implement at home. Other producers and family members might compete in the World Forage Analysis Super bowl, Champion Dairy Products Contest, Youth Fitting/Showmanship Contest and 4-H/Post-Secondary or Intercollegiate Dairy Cattle Judging Contests as well as the FFA Dairy Judging events. And don’t forget to stop at the Purple Cow Gift Shop to buy a dairy souvenir for those at home before you leave the show. There are plenty of activities at World Dairy Expo for your family members and friends.

Join us as one of the 65,000+ dairy industry enthusiasts who make the trip to World Dairy Expo in Madison, Wisconsin. It is truly the international meeting place for the dairy industry. Make plans now to attend the 2013 event, October 1-5.
