Junior Membership and Junior Ownership Deadline
Memberships are due! Be sure to have your Wisconsin Junior Holstein membership paid in advance of any upcoming WHA events or activities this spring and summer. Memberships must be paid in full before June 1, 2015. This is also the date that all heifers and/or cows need to be transferred to a junior’s name in order to be eligible for junior recognition at this year’s shows. No transfer applications will be allowed for juniors at the shows, so make sure paperwork is sent in ahead of the summer show season. Remember, partnerships between two or more juniors are allowed if all juniors are Wisconsin Junior Holstein members. No other partnerships qualify for junior recognition.
