2013 Wisconsin State Fair
Junior State Fair August 1 & 2 • West Allis, WI
The Wisconsin Junior State Fair Holstein show was held on Thursday, August 1 and Friday, August 2 at the State Fair Park in West Allis. Judge Gerald Coughlin Jr. of Peterborough, Ontario, Canada, and Associate Judge Chris Booth, Plymouth, Wis., placed a total of 493 head of Holsteins over the two day show, including 248 calves, 204 yearlings and 41 cows. For the first time, a separate Red & White show was held for the junior exhibitors with 57 head participating in that show. Following a deep calf show on Thursday, Judges Coughlin and Booth chose a pair of full-aged Fall Calves as the Calf Champions. Winning Calf Champion honor was Crave Reg Genevieve 7486-ET exhibited by Roseanne Crave of Waterloo. Reserve honors went to Siemers Damion Scar-Let-ET exhibited by Tiffany Roberts of Whitelaw. Friday morning started bright and early with the yearlings parading through the ring. Selected as Yearling Champion and eventual Junior Champion was a summer yearling, Bella-View Goldwyn Julip-ET exhibited by Kayla Krueger of Marion. Reserve Yearling Champion and also named Reserve Junior Champion was Siemers Sid Whip 17669, a spring yearling, exhibited by Josh Siemers, Newton. When selecting the champions, Judge Coughlin commented that it was an honor to place the heifer show and that everything was presented at top quality. The five heifers they had pulled out followed the same pattern - feminine, quality throughout, flatness of bone and depth of rib. He said the summer yearling was “on the money. She has that frame, feet and legs, and bone quality and added strength through the front end.” He went on to say the spring yearling had a lot of quality and was more full in the rear flank than the honorable mention heifer. After a short break, the Holstein cows entered the ring. Judge Coughlin selected Patrick Blair’s Junior 3 Year Old, Jeffrey-Way Advent Dynasty, as the Senior and Grand Champion followed by Jordan Siemers’ 6 Year Old & Older winner, Siemers Dundee Hilda 8669. Judge Coughlin commented that the cow show was not large, but the quality was exceptional. The winning cows also followed a pattern with good mammary systems, deep rib and good feet and legs. He said, “This young cow has a great future. She’s dairy and has a beautiful mammary system.” He selected the reserve champion because of her tremendous scale and beautiful mammary system. New to the Junior State Fair this year was a separate Red & White show. Judge Coughlin also had the duty of placing this show. Selected as Junior Champions were the winning spring yearling, Siemers Brbwire Reba-Red-ET, exhibited by Brooke Roberts, Whitelaw, and winning fall calf Bohnview Barbwire Ling Ling-Red, exhibited by Ben Buske, Brownsville. Grand Champion honors went to Jordan Siemers, Newton, and Critter-Ridge Reba-Red-ET. Reserve Champion went to Carley Krull’s Krull Advent Smiley-Red-ET. Judge Coughlin commented on his champion that “he appreciates her strength through the front end, terrific mammary system and she tracks well on her rear feet and legs.” He also appreciated the tremendous mammary system on the reserve champion. The showmanship contest was held on Saturday with almost 500 youth taking part in the different age groups. Several Wisconsin Junior
Holstein members won their respective age groups, with Ranae Holthaus being named the overall Supreme Champion Showman.
