Introducing Miss Madison!
Expo presents special gift to Alliant Energy Center BY BRITTANY OLSON Staff writer
1967 marks the beginning of a 50-year friendship between World Dairy Expo and the Alliant Energy Center. Back then directors gifted the Alliant Energy Center – then known as the Dane County Exposition Center – with a now-iconic present. “Everyone knows about the globe,” said WDE dairy cattle coordinator Laurie Breuch. “Directors gave the globe to the Dane County Exposition Center as a gift when the first show was held on BRITTANY OLSON their grounds.” While many things have Laurie Breuch, World Dairy Expo dairy cattle show coordinator, begins to pull back the curtain changed since the first World concealing the surprise gift, a cow named Miss Madison.

A throwback to an iconic trophy
WDE awards Grand Champions with near-replica of former Allen Hetts Memorial Trophies BY KRISTA KUZMA Staff writer
Shirley Barlass still clearly remembers the trophy her family’s farm won when they exhibited the Grand Champion Jersey for the first time at World Dairy Expo, in 1968. “It was almost as tall as I was, and I’m 5’2”,” Shirley said, who was at the halter of the cow and stood next to the trophy for a formal picture. The trophy, later named the Allen Hetts Memorial Trophies, became an iconic symbol for World Dairy Expo, easily distinguishing those who had exhibited the Grand Champion of a breed during the international event. Although the name of the award is still the same today, breed champions of recent years have received a different form of the trophy, an etched crystal globe mounted atop an engraved cherry base. To celebrate its 50th Anniversary, World Dairy

Expo staff found the perfect match for their cow in March in South Dakota. “Our cow began as a 47,000-pound block of Dakota mahogany,” said Breuch. Dakota mahogany, a type of granite, is a very hard variety of rock that should stand the test of time specified by Expo staff. “In fact, because this rock is so hard, it took a very long time to cut and carve the sculpture,” Breuch said. “The process lasted about four weeks.” Tyce Shirley, a regional sales manager with Quarra, described the project as a “fine dance” between tradition and technology. “All-in-all it went very smoothly,” Shirley said. “We take a lot of pride in the quality of the work we did with the cow.” In bringing Miss Madison to life, Quarra employed the help of modern technology.
Miss Madison was constructed
They programmed the design electronically so that a robotpowered blade can follow the design to a tee. Brian Smith and Eric Kudma, who work at Quarra beside Shirley, said that because the rock was so tough, they went through several diamond blades in the process of creating Miss Madison. “We had to mill the rock on a multi-axis table to support all that weight,” Smith said. “I modeled everything on a computer according to a quarter-scale model.” “The blade moved back and forth across the rock according to the design program,” Breuch said. “However, the finishing touches were applied by hand once the robot blade had finished its work.” After working day and night for several weeks, Miss Madison was born from her rocky beginnings and cloistered by Expo staff until she

was ready to make her grand debut during the Opening Ceremony of the 50th World Dairy Expo on October 4. The ceremony kicked off with World Dairy Expo General Manager Scott Bentley, Dane County Executive Joe Parisi, Wisconsin DATCP Secretary Ben Brancel and World Dairy Expo President Al Deming giving their comments about how the show has evolved from just a few hundred cattle and a handful of exhibitors to the premier international event it is today. Lastly, Deming thanked Breuch for her help in developing Expo’s newest gift to
Dane County, and gave her the go-ahead to remove the black nylon cover that was hiding Miss Madison from the public. The audience remained hushed until the cover was pulled back to reveal a muzzle, then a pair of alert ears facing forward, and a full bovine body. As Breuch stepped back to let a captive audience take in the grandeur of Miss Madison, everyone in attendance burst into thunderous applause. Breuch, who was just as excited to reveal Miss Madison as the guests were to finally see her, felt a deep sat-
isfaction in seeing her in all her glory. “It was satisfying to see her polished up,” Breuch said. In yet another affirmation that Miss Madison is in a league of her own, Kudma expressed the same sentiments as everyone else involved in creating such a unique gift. “You don’t get to carve a cow every day,” Kudma said. “But we’re so pleased with how she turned out.”

The roughly four-foot tall trophies will look very similar to the originals. Their silver tiers have been replaced with gold and while the marble was removed while the wood and a small true-type cow of the corresponding breed remains. These trophies proved to be a challenge to bring back this year as the materials are hard to find. However, the 50th Anniversary of Expo called for something special. Carol's Original Works and Ascentives were willing to take on the project, and teh results speak for themselves. Junior exhibitors who receive the nod for Grand Champion of their breed will be awarded a scaled-down version of the trophy. “Those kids put in just as much hard work and effort as the adults, and WORLD DAIRY EXPO they should be able to reap the rewards Dairy Cattle Show Breed Superintendents pose with the newly constructed Allen Hetts Grand Champion Awards. of their efforts as well,” Magnochi said.

FFA members participate in World Dairy Expo activities BY CASSIE OLSON Staff writer
Visitors of World Dairy Expo on Tuesday were overwhelmed by more than high quality dairy cattle. With an abundance of activities to participate in, more than 3,000 FFA members were on the grounds competing in contests, meeting with industry leaders and experiencing the plethora of activities that WDE has to offer. Liz Matzke, Attendee Services Manager at WDE, said the activities gave students the opportunity to not only further explore options in the dairy industry, but to also gain skills and knowledge to better themselves as individuals. “The FFA judging and educational event is held on opening day,” Matzke said. “Expo has a strong tradition of hosting judging events, but this day offers some additional opportunities including seminars, a scavenger hunt and company involvement.” Seminars were held throughout the day beginning at 8:30 a.m. in the Exhibition Hall. Ann O’Leary, Wisconsin’s 69th Alice in Dairyland, presented FFA members with information on agriculture advocacy and described her experience of serving as Wisconsin’s agriculture ambassador.

Matzke said the seminars were added in recent years to enhance the experiences of students. “The origin of the FFA judging contest dates back many years. As the participation increased, the board of directors saw an opportunity to provide more activities for students,” Matzke said. “We are always looking for ways to enhance

the experience and professionalism Expo has to offer youth.” New to Expo this year was a texting scavenger hunt only for FFA members attending WDE. Members who completed the scavenger hunt were eligible to win a free t-shirt. As always, many FFA members were on the grounds competing in the FFA dairy judging contest.

contest is a premier event that is highly competitive. “The contest has always been the premier pillar to entice students from chapters to attend Expo,” Matzke said. “It is not a practice contest by any stretch of the imagination; a number of different states were represented in the contest from the Midwest and beyond.” The contest was held in the Estrumate Sale Pavilion on Monday morning with over 160 FFA

chapters competing from all across the nation. Matzke said the opportunities available to FFA members encourage them to pursue a future in the dairy industry, no matter what background they may have. “It is encouraging to see the next generation, even those not from a farm, getting exposure to the dairy industry,” Matzke said. “It’s comforting to know that we here at World Dairy Expo are helping to create awareness and the opportunity for career success for students interested in the dairy industry.”

The Word on the Street
What has been your greatest 4-H or FFA experience?
Chloe D’Huyvetter Humbird, Wis.
Devin Rovalinski Bagley, Wis.
Kade Bose Stamford, Neb.
Taylor Fox Laurel, Mon.
What events are you participating in at Expo? I am competing in the FFA dairy judging contest. We will be in the Estrumate Sale Pavilion where they will be bringing in different rounds of cows which we will place.
What events are you participating in at Expo? I am doing the dairy products judging contest. We will be testing milk and cheese to determine what type they are and what may be wrong with them. It is a different competition that has its own challenges.
What events are you participating in at Expo? I was a part of the Nebraska 4-H Dairy Judging Teams. We competed on Monday and placed 9th in the Brown Swiss breed. I really like the experiences you can learn from dairy judging. There is a lot of working on making tough decisions and learning to stand behind those decisions to explain why you made that decision. With reasons, you need to be able to explain why you decided to place the class the way you did and it’s a good way to learn to defend the choices you make and what you believe in.
What events are you participating in at Expo? I competed in the Intercollegiate Dairy Judging Contest on Monday. I am new to dairy, so I did okay for being new. I ended up placing 19th in Jerseys.
Is this your first, if not, how many years have you been to Expo? This is my first year at Expo. I might have been here before but I was very little. What has been your favorite part of Expo so far or what are you most looking forward to? I only just got here, so I am most looking forward to seeing how perfect all of the cows are. What has been your greatest 4-H or FFA experience? Definitely going to the Wisconsin FFA State Convention and competing in quiz bowl while meeting a variety of different people. It’s also fun to meet and get to know the state officers every year. What are your future plans? I hope to attend an out-of-state college, particularly Texas A&M, and to hopefully pursue a career in the medical field Tell us about your farm or tie to agriculture. I live on the farm that my dad grew up on. We don’t milk cows anymore but we keep a handful of cows and heifers around because our family wouldn’t be able to live without having a handful of them around.
Is this your first, if not, how many years have you been to Expo? This is my first year going to Expo. I slept pretty good last night but I was ready to go. What has been your favorite part of Expo so far or what are you most looking forward to? I am looking forward to seeing all of the equipment. I like New Holland tractors and skid loaders, so that’s where I will spend a lot of my time. What has been your greatest 4-H or FFA experience? Meeting new people and going to different events and trying new things. I really like dairy judging. What are your future plans? I will probably go to Southwest Technical College for two years to study Ag Power or something similar. I am not for sure yet. I would like to work on equipment. Tell us about your farm or tie to agriculture. I don’t live on a farm myself, but I usually go to my neighbor’s and help out there. Usually I help with milking just about every night. I do just about all of the night chores like calf chores and milking.
Is this your first, if not, how many years have you been to Expo? This is my first year at World Dairy Expo. I am looking forward to looking at all of the cows in the barn. What has been your favorite part of Expo so far or what are you most looking forward to? It will be a great experience to see some of the best cows in the world. It is exciting to see all the sights around. This is even my first time visiting Wisconsin so it is fun to see everything. I am excited to check out the Brown Swiss, as we did so well in the contest, so I will be checking out some Brown Swiss cows for sure. What has been your greatest 4-H or FFA experience? Right now, I am kind of making it, I think. It has been a pretty amazing experience to be here thus far and we are not quite done with it yet. I’ve gotten to meet a lot of really cool people and it has been pretty exciting. What are your future plans? I’m not sure. I am thinking about being a part of the ag industry, but more closely tied to the ag engineering side of things. I would like to work on things to improve dairy farms by creating new technologies.

Tell us about your farm or tie to agriculture. I didn’t actually grow up on a dairy farm. I live in the country, so yes, we farm. We raise pigs but I got into the dairy industry just because of some kids who live around us and getting involved with the judging contest at the state fair. I had the opportunity to get involved with it so I decided to take on something new and see what it was all about.
Is this your first, if not, how many years have you been to Expo? This is my first time at Expo and I love it. What has been your favorite part of Expo so far or what are you most looking forward to? I wish I could be here to watch the cows but it was cool to be here and look at the animals in the barn. The most amazing thing I got to see was definitely Katrysha, the cow that won Supreme last year. She is a beautiful animal so I went over and looked at her for probably a good 20 minutes. What has been your greatest 4-H or FFA experience? I wasn’t in FFA or 4-H. Growing up, we didn’t show or anything like that simply because we didn’t have time. We had over 1,000 cows to take care of, so if we had to take time to halter break an animal that didn’t need it, we weren’t going to do it. We had a lot of other things to take care of. What are your future plans? I graduate in May with a degree in animal science from NDSU and I would like to end up in the dairy industry somewhere. I would like to go back to school to do something in nutrition or genetics in grad school. Tell us about your farm or tie to agriculture. I grew up on a big beef farm of all Registered Red Angus and Herford cattle. I personally own some of our 4,000 acres of pastureland. Farming is definitely very different where I’m from because we don’t get rain. We will only get rain about three times in the summer, so even our pastures are irrigated. You can’t live on 300 to 400 acres like you can over here because you have to pay for irrigation systems and pay to water the crops and even the pasture land. We don’t even have a considerably big farm for our area; it’s pretty standard for that area. That’s why I like dairy farming over here in the Midwest because everyone is closer. Farms are bigger out west, so you aren’t as close to other people.

Rhiannon Branch Iuka, Ill. What events are you participating in at Expo? On Sunday we participated in the practical contest and then yesterday we competed in the post-secondary dairy-judging contest. We took first as a team in the reasons division and second overall. We were really pleased with that.
What events are you participating in at Expo? I am participating in cattle judging and then will be walking around the grounds.

Is this your first, if not, how many years have you been to Expo? This is my third year coming to Expo. I like walking around and seeing what is new every year.
Rachel Ekkel Fremont, Mich. What events are you participating in at Expo? I competed in the Post-Secondary Dairy Judging contest on Monday, which is the only thing I came to do specifically besides walking around the Expo grounds today. I ended up being named the high individual overall in my division.

What are your future plans? I am in the dairy management program at Michigan State and I will be graduating this December. I am planning to go back to my family farm and manage the herd. We have a small dairy so I would like to one day expand it and hopefully make it a larger dairy. I hope to continue managing the dairy alongside my family.

Tell us about your farm or tie to agriculture. My family started a small dairy in 2005, so I have been there since the beginning. I wasn’t much help at first but I’ve taken on more responsibility as we have grown. We started with 10 cows and have since grown to 50. It has been slow growing. We milk in a tiestall barn but the cows are housed in a freestall. In the summers we keep the cows on pasture and rent about 120 acres.
