Futurity Fact:
This year will be the 27th annual Wisconsin Holstein Futurity. The show was founded in 1984 by Klass Koopmans of Darien, WI after reading about the success of the Ohio Futurity in a Holstein World article. In 1987, the first Wisconsin Holstein Futurity was held at the Wisconsin State Fair Park sponsored by Pabst Brewing Company. The first winner of the show was Indianhead Chief Jessica-ET exhibited by Bob and Karyn Schauf. In 1997, Alto Dairy Cooperative became the main show sponsor, and today, the main sponsor is Badgerland Financial.
