Featured Futurity Exhibitor: Nicholas Schuster, Bee-Bow Acres
Our seventh featured futurity exhibitor is Nicholas Schuster from Fond du Lac, WI. Nicholas along with his parents, Ian and Mary, own and operate Bee-Bow Acres. Nicholas graduated from the UW Madison Farm and Industry Short Course. He helps with various show strings including Budjon Farms. Nicholas is a member of the Wisconsin Junior Holstein Association and he served as chairman of the Junior Activities Committee in 2013. We are excited to have Nicholas exhibit at our Futurity Show this year!
Futurity Fun Fact: The WHA Futurity Show is a very prestigious show where only the best of the best compete to win the grand prize of $1,500. Our judge this year is Joe Gibbs from Epworth, Iowa. Joe will have the opportunity to judge all of our exhibitor's bovines, but in the end only one can become the next Futurity champion. Joe and his son, Dwight, own and operate a 170 head dairy farm. The 70 cow milk herd has a RHA of 24,000 and BAA of 109%. The 140 acre farm has served home to 40 All and Jr. All American Nominations. Joe has had 13 Holstein nominations and all 13 Holsteins were homebred animals. He has judged several state fairs, state shows, county fairs, and district shows. This year Joe will be judging at the Wisconsin State Fair, Ozark Empire Fair, Ak-Sar-Ben Show, Indiana State Fair, Southern National Ayrshire Show, and Louisville, Kentucky in November. We are very excited to have Joe serve as our judge for the Futurity show this year!
