Calumet County CP Feeds Futurity
The second annual Calumet County CP Feeds Futurity was declared a huge success by both the exhibitors and spectators. Over 600 people gathered at the 2016 Calumet County Fair Harder-Goeldi building to observe the “Futurity” on Sunday, September 4, 2016. The Calumet County Holstein Breeders who produce the “Futurity” were thrilled with the results. Seventeen Holsteins and one Brown Swiss paraded in front of Judge Ryan Krohlow of Poynette, Wis. The winning entry of the highly competitive three year old cow “Futurity” was Dreamhaven Dempsey Rumchata exhibited by Krista Luedtke of Hortonville, Wis. In second place was Top Acres Garbro S Wish-ET exhibited by Jennifer Meyer of Jenlar Holsteins and Brown Swiss of Chilton, Wis. The Best Udder and Best Bred and Owned were awarded to Krista Luedtke. The Production Award went to Hilrose Dairy LLC of Sherwood. Best Dressed Male was a tie between Jeff Brantmeier of Sherwood and Mitch Krahn of Brillion. Best Dressed Female was awarded to Jennifer Meyer of Chilton. Over $5,000.00 was paid in prize monies to the exhibitors at the 2016 futurity. Please save the date and plan to attend the third Calumet County CP Feeds Futurity which will be held on Sunday, September 3, 2017.
