Seventeen bovine beauties graced the
shavings at the Wisconsin State Fair Park on Saturday, August 13th
to compete for the title of first place in the 30th Annual Wisconsin
Holstein Futurity. Judging this prestigious event was Brian Behnke of Brooklyn,
Wisconsin. In this nontraditional show,
the animals are entered three years prior to the show and only the best of the
entries compete for the coveted title.
This year the coveted title was captured
by Ernest-Anthony Sid Amelia, owned by Crescentmead Holsteins and shown by
Sarah Wendorf of Ixonia Wisconsin. The Wendorf family received $1500 from our
generous sponsor, Badgerland Financial. Amelia was also named best udder of the
show and the top fat and protein production winner.
Following closely in second was Ryan-Vu Regin Raz A Taz, owned by Chad and Mark Ryan, Majestic View, and Crailoo Dairy Farm,
and shown by Amy Ryan of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. Raz A Taz won a $750 check
from International Protein Sires. She was also named the first place bred and owned
animal.
In third place was Rob-Cri
Dempsey Secret, Exhibited by Gracelyn Jo Breitenstein of Plover, Wisconsin.
Agropur presented Gracelyn and Secret with a check for $500. Gracelyn was also
presented with the first place junior award, sponsored by Angela Davis-Brown of
Ma-Brown Holsteins and Jerseys and $50 from the
Wisconsin Junior Holstein Association.
Even though the bovine beauties are truly
looking their best, the exhibitors are dressed to impress. These exhibitors
gave up their jeans and boots for a night of ball gowns and tuxedos to compete
for the best dressed awards. All the exhibitors were looking their best and
truly impressed the crowd. The Best Dressed Junior award and $100, sponsored by
Frisle-Vu Holsteins went to Nicole Wright from Watertown, Wisconsin. Levi
Kindshi of Loganville, Wisconsin received the Best Dressed Male award and $100
from Indianhead Holsteins. The Best Dressed Female of the night went to
Courtney Ewert of Hustisford, Wisconsin along with $100 sponsored by Scenic-Edge
Holsteins.

The Wisconsin Holstein
Association Futurity is a very unique show with a unique mission. The Wisconsin Holstein Association uses the
futurity to help promote the dairy industry to the general public and display
the first class care we provide our animals and dedication that we have for our
animals and the products they produce. The Wisconsin Holstein Association
Futurity was started to inform consumers about the dairy industry and
Registered Holsteins.
The 30th Wisconsin
Holstein Association futurity would not be possible without our generous
sponsors. The Wisconsin Holstein Association would like to thank the major
futurity sponsors, Badgerland Financial, International Protein Sires, Agropur,
and Brian Greenman, Rural Mutual Insurance Agent, for helping to make this show
a success. In addition to our very generous sponsors, we would also like to
thank our committee members for all that they do when it comes to setting up
and taking down the arena. We could not have such a successful event without
your generous help.
