Treasure Quest Entry Information

This event is a celebration and promotion of high caliber calves and their breeders and owners. Proceeds from this event benefit the state association members and fund breed promotion events held each year.

State members can enter Registered Holstein heifers born between March 1 and December 31, 2022. Any state member can nominate a heifer using the form below. All entries must be received with a fee of $80 by February 3, 2023. By entering your calf in the Treasure Quest, you are committed to potentially having the calf selected as the winner. The $80 entry fee also includes an entry in the Midwest National Spring Show or Midwest Spring Red & White Show. Members can also participate by purchasing a lottery ticket for the chance to win one of the entered calves. There will be 125 lottery tickets printed, and 123 of them will be sold for $100 each. The remaining two tickets will be auctioned off; one will benefit the WHA Scholarship fund and the other the WHA Juniors. These auctions will be held at the state adult convention and spring show, and the tickets purchased will automatically be in the top 12 drawing.

The raffle drawing will be held following the selection of Intermediate Champion at the 2023 Midwest National Spring Holstein Show on Saturday, April 29, 2023. Ticket holders must not be present to win, however, they do need a representative to choose a calf or bucket on their behalf. Ten tickets will be drawn on the day of the show, and they will be joined by the two tickets auctioned for a chance to win a new Holstein calf. Eleven winners will receive consolation buckets, valued at $100 each and one lucky ticket holder will go home with a calf. The breeder whose calf is chosen will receive a check for $5000, and those not chosen get to return home!

Tickets can be purchased from any WHA board member or the state office by calling 1-800-223-4269.

All calves entered prior to spring show will be on display at the show and led into the ring at the time of the drawing. The Wisconsin Holstein News will feature a special section on the entered calves in the March and April/May issues.
