Featured Futurity Exhibitor: Hiddenway Holsteins, Sierra Lurvey
Sierra Lurvey, along with her parents Tom and Mary and siblings Dwayne, Shannon, and Shianne own and operate Hiddenway Holsteins located in Lone Rock, WI. They milk 50 Registered Holsteins and have a rolling herd average of 21,360. Hiddenway Holsteins own 350 acres and rent 40 acres of land. Sierra has been apart of the dairy industry her whole life and has been showing dairy cattle since she was 5 years old. She is an active member in the Wisconsin Junior Holstein Association where she participates in Junior Conventions. This year, Sierra competed in the Badger State Dairy Challenge where her team took first place. She is currently a junior at UW-Madison where she is studying Dairy Science and Ag and Applied Economics. Upon graduation, Sierra hopes to work in the Agriculture Industry and possibly work on a bull stud farm before she owns her own farm. Be sure too look for Sierra and her bovine beauty at the 2014 WHA Futurity Show!
Futurity Fun Fact:
Did you know that like Sierra, all of our exhibitors will exchange their blue jeans and boots for tuxedos and ball gowns? That's right, since the Futurity is a formal event, all of our exhibitors will dress to impress our special guests as they compete for Best Dressed Male, Best Dressed Female, and Best Dressed Junior. Each award winner gets $100 and a plaque. This year our Best Dressed Junior award is sponsored by Ryan-Vu Dairy.
2013 Best Dressed Junior: Colin Uecker
