Is the World Dairy Expo Really the Super Bowl of the Dairy Industry?

Standing in Madison’s storied Coliseum, you can feel history holding its breath. As twenty thousand hearts beat in rhythm with footsteps on colored shavings, two legends prepare to meet. Is this really dairy’s Super Bowl? Step inside, where perfect udders command more respect than perfect spirals and judge for yourself.

Hearts pounding in rhythm with footsteps on colored shavings. Twenty thousand breaths were held in unison. Alliant Energy Center, usually alive with show day’s controlled chaos, stands eerily silent. The spotlight cuts through the darkness like a laser, illuminating empty shavings that will, in moments, host dairy’s defining battle for Holstein Grand Champion. 

History in the making: Elite dairy athletes stand head-to-tail on the colored shavings, each a masterpiece of breeding and preparation. Among them, Shakira and Footloose represent generations of excellence in what would become one of World Dairy Expo’s most talked-about championships.

Outside, two teams make their final preparations. In one corner, the undefeated champion Shakira, her white and black coat gleaming like polished marble, her udder the stuff of legend. On the other hand, the uprising star Footloose, whose rib and dairy strength depth have electrified the show circuit all season. Years of breeding decisions, countless hours of preparation, and dreams of dairy immortality converge now. 

The tension is thick enough to cut with a knife. Veterans of a thousand shows lean forward in their seats—they know they’re about to witness history. This isn’t just another class, another champion, another trophy. This is dairy’s ultimate stage, where legends are carved into the bedrock of agriculture itself.

But can this be Dairy’s Super Bowl? The skeptic in you might scoff at comparing cattle and quarterbacks, colored shavings, and yard lines. After all, while the Super Bowl commands 100 million viewers, here in Madison sits a different crowd—one that can spot a perfect udder at fifty paces and debate the finer points of dairy strength into the dawn hours. 

Yet, as autumn winds whip around the Alliant Energy Center, something electric charges the air. The same electricity crackles through any arena when greatness stands on the precipice of history. In moments, these shavings will host a battle that will be discussed for generations. And suppose you think the gentle lowing of cattle can’t match the roar of 80,000 football fans. In that case, you’ve never experienced when dairy’s legend is crowned under these lights.

The Skeptic’s View: Too Niche to Be Global? 

“It’s just cows walking in circles,” the critics scoff. “How can you compare this to the Super Bowl?” It’s easy to see their point outside the Coliseum, where autumn leaves skitter across empty beer cans and discarded programs from Sunday’s NFL games. No multi-million dollar commercials here. No celebrity halftime show. There are no betting pools in every office across America.

Instead of superstar quarterbacks, we have Holstein cows. Rather than ESPN analysts debating play calls, farmers are discussing udder texture and teat placement. While 100 million viewers tune in to watch the Super Bowl’s gladiatorial spectacle, the World Dairy Expo draws what appears to be a specialized crowd. But numbers tell only part of the story.

As the massive doors of the Coliseum at the Alliant Energy Center swing open, over 56,250 attendees from nearly 100 countries gather for what’s considered one of dairy’s defining moments. This isn’t just another day in dairy—it’s where legends are made. Just like the Super Bowl isn’t merely about touchdowns, the World Dairy Expo transcends simple competition. 

Global Reach 

While football, with primarily American teams, claims world champion status, the Expo draws global power players. Exactly 563 companies from 26 countries and 39 U.S. states fill the grounds, their innovations and genetics shaping dairy’s future. In the barns, international conversations flow among 2,915 registered foreign visitors, representing dairy producers from Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Germany, and the Netherlands—the top five international attendees. 

Economic Powerhouse 

Beyond the drama in the show ring, deals worth millions unfold in the trade show halls.

SectorImpact
U.S. Dairy Industry Annual Impact$753 billion
Wisconsin Dairy Sector$52.8 billion
Jobs Supported3.2 million
Expo Impact on Dane County$31.8 million

In Wisconsin alone, the dairy sector generates $52.8 billion annually, surpassing the combined value of Florida’s orange and Idaho’s potato industries. 

In the Expo’s Learning Center, where 41% of attendees are agribusiness professionals and 30% are dairy farmers, crowds gather around cutting-edge technology. The trade show draws 32% of attendees, while the dairy cattle show attracts 31%, with networking accounting for 19% of participation. 

The Road to Glory 

As evening approaches, the Coliseum fills with anticipation. The colored shavings, meticulously groomed throughout the day, await the 2,571 dairy cattle that will compete for Grand honors. In the prep area, where 1,804 exhibitors from 36 U.S. states and Canada have brought their finest animals, months of preparation reach their crescendo. 

The air grows thick with anticipation. Veterans of countless shows recognize something unique building—the kind of electricity that precedes legendary moments. Generations of dairy families claim their seats in the stands, part of an event that draws 69,423 hours of watch time and 212,916 views on ExpoTV. 

The Championship Showdown 

Dairy excellence personified: The final four contenders for Holstein Grand Champion honors stand ready for judgment on Madison’s colored shavings. Among them, the legendary Shakira and challengers await their date with destiny in one of World Dairy Expo’s most memorable showdowns.

Thousands of heartbeats sync with the dimming lights. The Coliseum plunges into darkness save for a piercing spotlight. The announcer’s voice thunders through the arena: “And now… for your Grand Champion consideration…” 

Time freezes. Generations of breeding decisions. Countless dawns spent in barn aisles. Every 3 am milking. It all culminates here, under these unforgiving lights, where legends are crowned or crushed in the span of heartbeats. 

Shakira emerges first, an apparition in black and white, moving with the fluid grace of athletic royalty. Her udder, a masterpiece of symmetry and attachment that has dominated show rings, seems to defy gravity itself. The crowd’s collective intake of breath echoes off the rafters. 

Then comes Footloose. The atmosphere shifts like a thunderstorm rolling across Wisconsin farmland. Her presence commands attention with raw power and dairy strength that speaks to generations of careful breeding. Her depth of rib and dairyness look almost supernatural under the championship spotlight. Whispers of “upset” ripple through the crowd. 

The judge moves with deliberate precision. His eyes track every trait that separates good from great, great from legendary. The intensity in his gaze would make Olympic judges look casual. Veterans grip their seats. Parents lift children onto their shoulders. The tension builds until the air itself might shatter. 

The judge raises his hand. Even the cattle in the warm-up area fall quiet, sensing destiny in motion. He steps to the microphone, and time stretches like warm mozzarella. 

“Your Grand Champion is…” 

The spotlight catches Shakira’s perfect udder one final time, throwing a halo around her frame as the judge’s hand extends in her direction. The Coliseum erupts. Her handler, falls to his knees on the colored shavings. Across the ring, Footloose’s team applauds with grace, knowing they’ve been part of history. 

Sportsmanship at its finest: Tim Abbott, owner of Footloose, congratulates Tyler Dorion, leadsman of Shakira, after an epic Supreme Champion showdown at World Dairy Expo. This moment captures the heart of dairy’s biggest stage – where fierce competition meets genuine respect.

Beyond the Spotlight 

While the colored shavings of the show ring capture imagination, the World Dairy Expo’s true power lies in its comprehensive scope. 

The educational impact is equally impressive, with over 50 educational opportunities throughout the event. The Knowledge Nook hosts 27 focused sessions over four days, where industry experts present the latest research and innovations. These sessions run from 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM Tuesday through Thursday and until 2:30 PM Friday, ensuring continuous learning opportunities.

This convergence of commerce and education helps drive the U.S. dairy industry’s $753 billion annual economic impact and supports 3.2 million jobs. In Wisconsin alone, the dairy sector generates $52.8 billion annually, with the Expo contributing $31.8 million to Dane County’s economy.

Managing Modern Challenges 

Just as the Super Bowl faces its share of disruptions, the World Dairy Expo battles a more calculated threat than mere streakers seeking viral fame outside the Coliseum, where generations of dairy excellence parade across colored shavings, activists from groups like Direct Action Everywhere and PETA gather with hidden cameras and rehearsed chants, attempting to hijack dairy’s most significant moment for their agenda.

The frustration runs deep among exhibitors who’ve spent countless predawn hours caring for their animals, only to have activists who’ve never raised a calf try to paint them as villains. Third-generation farmers, who can trace their family’s animal care practices back to their grandparents’ first dairy barn, watch as protesters who couldn’t tell an udder from an elbow attempt to lecture them about animal welfare.

But like a seasoned quarterback adjusting to defensive pressure, Expo organizers have evolved their strategy. Enhanced security protocols rival those of major sporting events. At the same time, trained response teams handle disruptions without creating the media spectacle activists crave. The $753 billion U.S. dairy industry doesn’t pause for protesters—it pushes forward, driven by the same resilience that gets farmers out of bed at 4 a.m. every morning, regardless of weather, holidays, or activists’ opinions. 

What’s Next for Dairy’s Biggest Stage? 

The NFL didn’t become a global phenomenon by standing still, and neither can the World Dairy Expo. As the lights dim on another championship night, the question isn’t whether this is dairy’s Super Bowl—it’s how to make each year’s show even more compelling. 

The opportunities are clear: 

  • Embrace digital storytelling to share these electric moments with the world
  • Build anticipation through behind-the-scenes glimpses of preparation and competition
  • Showcase the human stories behind these bovine athletes
  • Leverage technology to bring the excitement of the colored shavings to global audiences

The Verdict: More Than Just a Show 

As the champions leave the colored shavings and the trade show lights dim, one truth remains clear: the World Dairy Expo isn’t trying to be the Super Bowl—it already is dairy’s defining moment. But unlike football’s biggest night, you don’t have to watch from the sidelines. At Expo, you’re not just a spectator but part of dairy’s unfolding history. 

For those who’ve felt the electricity of championship night in Madison’s Coliseum, you know what awaits this October: the heart-stopping moments when champions are crowned, the game-changing technologies that will transform your operation, and those irreplaceable conversations in the barn aisles that spark lifelong friendships and future innovations. The 2025 show promises to be even more spectacular, with enhanced trade experiences, expanded educational opportunities, and the most competitive cattle show in Expo history. 

Whether you’re a seasoned Expo veteran or considering your first trip to dairy’s biggest stage, this is your year. Because somewhere between the pristine colored shavings and the cutting-edge trade show floor, between the pulse-quickening championships and the quiet moments of connection, the World Dairy Expo offers something no other event can—a chance to be part of dairy’s future as it unfolds before your eyes. Don’t just watch dairy history from afar; come to Madison this October and help write the next chapter. After all, the colored shavings are calling, and legends are waiting to be made.

Key Takeaways:

  • The World Dairy Expo in Madison is considered the “Super Bowl” of the dairy industry, offering a unique blend of competition and innovation on a global stage.
  • Despite initial skepticism due to its niche appeal, the Expo attracts over 54,500 attendees from nearly 90 countries, showcasing its significant global reach.
  • It plays a crucial role as a commercial hub, with millions in deals being made, influencing the future of global dairy production with the latest technology and genetics.

Ferdon Genetics and Other Champions Shine at the Semex All New Zealand Dairy Show 2024

The supreme dairy exhibit at the New Zealand Dairy Event (NZDE) has a close family link to a cow who has won the same title three times. Ferdon Genetics, from Otorohanga, from the heart of New Zealand’s Waikato knew they wouldn’t be flying under the radar when they returned to the NZDE this year with the show’s 2024 Jersey Grand Champion, Ferdon Tbone Veneer EX. But pressure is something they are used to absorbing, because Veneer comes from a family line laden with superstars. One of them is Ferdon Comerica Viyella (who won NZDE Supreme Champion in 2012, 2015 and 2016 – in amongst a swag of Grand Champion Jersey titles and Reserves during her heavily decorated career). Veneer and Viyella’s dams are maternal sisters, and there were other “V” family members who showed in the Ferdon string. Ferdon Genetics is owned and operated by Warren and Michelle, together with their son, Corey, milking 200-210-head on 75 effective hectares. They showed 18 in-milk and six dry heifers in two breeds. For the Ferdon crew, winning never gets old. They have now won Grand Champion Jersey nine times, Supreme Dairy Cow five times, and Premier Jersey Exhibitor nine successive years.

Veneer came out of the five-to-six year-old in-milk class. And, while Ferdon is known for its Jerseys (which take up 75% of the herd) they also run 25% Holsteins and some registered Ayrshires. One of those Holsteins, Waipiri CR Freaky Girl-ET, won Senior Champion Holstein this year. She was held out of contention for the Supreme (all breeds) race by the Intermediate Champion Holstein (and Supreme Intermediate Champion), who travelled from Tahora Farms in the South Island, Tahora Sidekick Legacy2, who qualified to compete for Supreme Exhibit by winning Grand Champion Holstein.

“We did feel the pressure this time,” Michelle acknowledged. “It was a relief when we won the Jersey championship, but then we had to wait for the Supreme. We feel like she [Veneer] really earned it this year. She’s matured, and she was on-form.”

They also knew at least one other name that was coming for them. This year’s Grand Champion Ayrshire, Pukekaraka Elle Delilah, was Supreme Dairy Exhibit herself in 2021. The 10-year-old returned, ready to show for Glenalla and Snowfed Farms, from Ashburton in Mid-Canterbury. Her home address means she had one of the toughest transits to get to the show. The winding and undulating drive to Picton, followed by the Cook Strait ferry crossing is hard enough on young cows – let alone a 10-year-old contender. Delilah appeared to sail through it all, impressing the UK Ayrshire judge Blaise Tomlinson. He was quick to say that New Zealand’s best Ayrshires are competitive globally. The 2023 Supreme Champion Exhibit (and another Ayrshire entry) – Raetea Rubicom Debbie, owned by the Fowlie family (Matamata) – also returned this year in the five to six-year-old class. She was put out of title contention when she didn’t win her age class. 

  • Jerseys and Ayrshires had the numbers The Jersey and Ayrshire shows had the biggest class numbers, and it was another Jersey – the Junior Champion – who went on to win Supreme Junior Exhibit. It gave the Jersey show two of the three biggest awards.
  • Thomas Jeyes (Te Kuiti) was typically lowkey about his winning Jersey junior entry, Manor Black Apple Tess (sired by Rapid Bay Black Apple).
  • Jerseys and Ayrshires had the numbers The Jersey and Ayrshire shows had the biggest class numbers, and it was another Jersey – the Junior Champion – who went on to win Supreme Junior Exhibit. It gave the Jersey show two of the three biggest awards.
  • Thomas Jeyes (Te Kuiti) was typically lowkey about his winning Jersey junior entry, Manor Black Apple Tess (sired by Rapid Bay Black Apple).

The Jeyes family immigrated from the United Kingdom to New Zealand 11 years ago and started dairying from a modest start. Today, the family is sharemilking 650 cows with no staff outside of Thomas, 19. The herd is made up of crossbred cows and 160 registered Jerseys. Thomas is responsible for the show programme, in between working fulltime on the farm, with the support of the rest of the family and their farm owner, Sir David Fagan (New Zealand’s former champion shearer, who has won the New Zealand Golden Shears a record 16 times). 

Thomas started showing and breeding with his prefix, Manor Jerseys, in 2017. Before last year, the best the family had done at the NZ DairyEvent was second in class. In 2024, they started to make their move – winning Junior ChampionJersey (and Reserve Supreme Junior Champion) with Manor Cocochip Alaska. They also won another heifer class. This year, they came to play. They won Junior and Reserve Junior Champion Jersey with Manor Black Apple Tess (sired by Rapid Bay Black Apple) and Manor Victorious Classy (sired by River Valley Victorious-ET and led by Thomas’s 17-year-old sister, Annabel) respectively…before Tess went on to trump the entire junior show. 

Thomas is known for understating things. He didn’t disappoint, saying it was “nice” to win, adding that Tess wasn’t initially a strong favorite when he chose the team, but she kept catching his eye. And, once she got on the programme, she kept coming. Her dam was the first cow he’d broken to halter and shown. Judge Terri Packard was impressed from the moment the Autumn heifer calf hit the ring. “She was tremendous,” Terri said. “I said to Annie [Gill, the associate Jersey judge], ‘it’s going to take a heck of a heifer to get around her’. 

“When we saw her out here again for Junior Champion, she really had no faults. She was so correct, she blends so beautifully from her neck, into her shoulder, she’s full in her crops, she’s hard over her topline, she’s really level from her hooks to her pins, and she’s got a great combination of dairy style and strength, which is what I like to see. 

“Jerseys are a feminine breed, but they still need that width of chest and strength. I saw a lot of heifers that had good width through the chest and the front end, and that is maybe an advantage over what you see in the United States. Maybe what you didn’t see as much of out there was the flat rump from hooks to pins, and that pretty tail setting. And, it’s hard in the Jersey breed to find a bull that will make level rumps or even that slight slope to the rump. The breed as a whole needs to pay attention to that.” 

NZ has the cows. 

The US Jersey judge, Terri Packard, has bred, owned, led, and judged some of the finest Jerseys in the world throughout her career. She said she wasn’t surprised to find quality in the Jersey show. “I was happy to see the dairy character, because I know the cows are managed differently than a lot of our cows at home [in North America],” Terri said. “So, the flat bone, the good legs, the clean hocks and the way they moved around the ring were consistent and that made my job a lot more comfortable. When you look at the Junior, Intermediate and Senior Champion out here I think all three of those individuals could compete anywhere that I’ve shown. There were some of the older cows out for Senior Champion that I’d say the same about. There was tremendous quality, and I really enjoyed it.” 

Intermediate Holstein scores Grand. Senior Champions generally have the edge running into the race for Senior Champion and Supreme titles, because of their maturity and development. However, this year a young Holstein who had never been shown before – and, who had to cross Cook Strait – shook up the results. The Intermediate Champion Holstein (and Supreme Intermediate Champion of all breeds), Tahora Sidekick Legacy2-ET, was also chosen for Grand Champion Holstein. With her owners Tahora Farms (Canterbury) now turning their attention to the lead up to a their “Party at the Polo Sale” (because they are also selling a profile polo pony) on March 28, they said there is now a chance Legacy2 may be included. Tahora also showed the Reserve Champion Holstein, Tahora Pharo Abriana (sired by Sandy-Valley J Pharo), who will sell. The Senior Champion Holstein came from the Ferdon camp. In 2024 Waipiri CR Freaky Girl-ET (sired by River-Syc Crushabull-ET) was shown by the Dreadon/Fullerton partnership when she won Supreme Intermediate. Ferdon bought her for $21,000 in April 2024 when she was offered as a guest consignment in the 75 years of Ferdon sale. While she was pipped at the post for Grand Champion Holstein by Tahora’s Legacy2, her Senior Champion title gave Ferdon a strong presence in two breeds. Michelle was quick to thank all the Ferdon team and the unsung heroes holding the home farm together while they were gone. “Everyone gives you your congratulations, and you love all that, but we can’t do it without the people who come and help us at the show, and our team who run home,” Michelle said. 

Junior heifer shows. Anyone who needs more proof that great cows come from great cow families got it in spaces in the Holstein junior show. The Junior Champion Holstein, Charbelle Hero Popcorn, was not only one of two family members to make the pull in the Junior Champion line-up under Western Australian judge Lachlan Fry. Hero Popcorn is the daughter of a cow at the most recent epicenter of this family, Charbelle Tatoo Pix. Pix is the reigning Stratford and Waikato Champion. She was herself Supreme Junior Champion four years ago, and Supreme Intermediate Champion (and Best Intermediate Udder) a year later. It’s worth noting that the winning heifer in the youngest class of the Holstein junior show, Charbelle Tatoo Promise, is Charbelle Tatoo Pix’s full sister, and that their dam, Charbelle MWB Prancer S3F, was herself a class winner at this show. Their owners, Stephen and Annabelle Scherer, of Charbelle, took on bigger herd numbers this season on a new farm in the Waikato region. They consolidated two sharemilking farms into one – and added 100 cows and one staff member – at their new base at Tahuna, just north of Morrinsville. They are sharemilking 300 Holsteins and 100 Jerseys and crossbreds on 160 hectares in a blended business model with Annabelle’s parents, Wayne, and Dyanne Osborne. The increased workload meant that the show preparation became more of a deal, and they tapped into Annabelle’s brother-in-law and sister, Luke and Charlotte Gilbert, at Showcase Boarding, to help prepare three out of seven of their team. Four of the Junior Holstein Championship contenders came from Showcase Boarding’s string – including Junior and Reserve Junior for Charbelle – Honorable Mention for Te Hau Genetics, and the winning junior heifer Holstein calf [who was acknowledged in the first pull for Junior Champion for Charbelle]. Annabelle said she had a blast watching her children on the halter, on what goes down as one of the family’s most successful early campaigns. Four of their junior entries won their class across two breeds. “I was so pleased for the kids because they pretty much gave up summer to care and prepare for each of their animals every day. Because of the new farm, in general we just haven’t had the time. We could have not come, but it means a lot to our family and here we are.” Judge Lachlan Fry said while the numbers weren’t massive the quality was right there at the pointy end of the business. “We certainly had the winners and there was some good quality throughout the line, and we [associate judge Sarah Leech] were very happy with the four Junior Champion contenders,” Lachlan said. “With the Junior Champion, I just loved the balance of the heifer. She had very few faults and she wasn’t by any means too extreme in any part. She was hard to fault, and they are the ones you generally want, aren’t they? 

She went over the reserve because she was a little more heifer, she was wider in the chest, deeper in the forerib, and being that bit older she was a little more developed. The Junior Champion Holstein finished the day with Reserve Supreme Junior Champion to the Jersey. 

Ayrshires Firing 

The biggest junior heifer showing was without question the Ayrshires, and the UK judge Blaise Tomlinson was ready. “The calves were very, very strong,” he said. “I wasn’t surprised because I’d talked to a previous judge, and they told me how good the quality was in this country. The top end could compete anywhere in the world, certainly.” Blaise and his wife, Deborah, milk 250-head (200 Holstein with 50 Ayrshires) under Sandyford Ayrshires at Charnwood Forest, at Loughborough (21 minutes from Leicester in the East Midlands of England). Sandyford is one of the most highly regarded Ayrshire breeders in the UK and the greater global industry – and he is at the forefront of modern examples of the breed, including Ayrshire breed icon Sandyford Clover 10 EX97. He said he was looking for the cleaner-boned calves, with good rib, and good legs and feet. “And, I managed to find them. When the Junior Champion came into the class, I thought she’d take a bit of beating. She went on to win fairly handily, really, and she was able to easily compete in the interbreed.” 

Best Juniors Made It Through 

Blaise was the first of the four judges to judge the heifer classes, and he spent the rest of the day watching his counterparts work through their choices until they all came together to decide the Supreme Junior Champion. It gave him a unique perspective. “The four calves at the end were the four best examples of every breed, in my opinion,” Blaise said. “Every judge found the best calves and got them to the top of the line, and I thought it was a very good interbreed line-up. It was a good show of really high quality. They can’t miss having a good in-milk show if that’s what they turn out for the juniors.” 

In the Intermediate Ayrshire show, Premier Amarula A Sharon (sired by Ruisseau Clair Amarula) went up to win. She is owned by Joanna Fowlie and Richard Waugh (Matamata), and she cost the pair an Australasian record price of $31,000 when they bought her at the Premier Sale in September 2024. At the other end of the price spectrum, the Senior and Grand Champion Ayrshire Pukekaraka Elle Delilah, who was the 2021 Supreme Champion of the show, cost her owners just $2500 in 2019 when they bought her as a dry cow in a group of five cows from the Robinson family’s dispersal at Atiamuri. She lives at Glenalla & Snowfed Farms in Mid-Canterbury, and she doesn’t owe her owners a cent. She has crossed the Cook Strait to compete in shows five times, and the 10-year-old made the judge a happy man when she hit the ring.

Combined breeds strong

The Combined Breeds category also included the acknowledgment of the Brown Swiss individual champions within its results this year. The Grand Champion and Best Udder Combined Breeds, as well as the Grand Champion Milking Shorthorn, were won by Westell Jedi Rollie (sired by Glencliffe JP Jedi) and owned by Josh Sneddon, Tokoroa. UK Judge Wendy Young moved decisively through her choices, pulling no punches as she crowned her standouts. 

The Junior Champion from the Combined Breeds, Lakeview Jiath Plum, is owned by the Lakeview Partnership based in Dannevirke. Lakeview, operated by Isaac and Emma Kelsen, also had a hand in the Intermediate Champion. They purchased the Junior Champion’s dam privately from Fusion Genetics, impressed with her production and style, aiming to breed a stylish Milking Shorthorn. “From day one, the calf caught our eye, and we think she has a bright future,” Isaac Kelsen remarked. Lakeview bred and subsequently sold the Intermediate Champion, Lakeview A Joy, to Aleesha Shaw in Ohaupo, through the Fusion Genetics Sale in October 2023 as a yearling, after winning her age calf class at the NZ DairyEvent that same year for Lakeview. 

Emma expressed, “We get regular updates about Joy from Aleesha, and that’s when Isaac saw potential for her to do well this year. She joined us in Dannevirke on the show program, and we’re thrilled for Aleesha that she’s done so well.” 

Handled with care

The handlers’ judge, Blaise’s daughter Evie, faced the significant task of balancing her role as a part of the media team for the event. She relished the opportunity to momentarily set aside her camera and observe the event through a different lens, focusing on the young people leading. “The handlers in the younger classes were extremely impressive for their age,” Evie noted. “I think they are definitely learning from the mature handlers. Additionally, I believe that those who attended Terri’s [Terri Packard hosted a youth discussion around showmanship before the show commenced] had picked up on – and applied – some of the insights Terri shared.” 

Evie highlighted the importance of these learning opportunities, stating, “I think that was an important opportunity to take part in that demonstration if they wanted to get to the top of the class, because it’s about those fine details. I definitely put the handlers through their paces because when you get to those older classes, you have to be prepared to work for it.” In the UK, she often advises young handlers to watch online 4-H videos in Canada or alternatively, the UK Holstein Society’s leading demonstrations to refine their technique.

We’ve got the inside scoop on the genetic goldmines that will transform your breeding program from wishful thinking to “We’re gonna need a bigger trophy case.” These aren’t just any old bulls – the secret weapons that’ll have the judges doing double-takes. So grab your halters, dust off your show whites, and dive into the genetic jackpot that will revolutionize your breeding program faster than you can say “Grand Champion.” 

SHG Lego: The Type Titan 

Lego (515HO00486) continues to reign supreme with an eye-popping +4.69 PTAT. This Fitters Choice x Avalanche*RC x Doc from the Winterbay Goldwyn Lotto EX-95-CAN family is the go-to guy for extreme type improvement.

Strengths: 

  • Unparalleled PTAT score
  • Solid production (+440 Milk, 0 Fat (-0.06%), and +18 Protein (+0.02%))
  • A2A2 and BB kappa-casein genotypes

Breeding Pattern:  Lego’s daughters are sky-high (+4.95 Stature), built like brick houses (+2.12 Strength), deep as the ocean (+3.01 Body Depth), and sharper than a tack (+3.51 Dairy Form).

Watch Out For:  While Lego’s type is off the charts, keep an eye on that slightly negative Fat percentage. Also, his Daughter’s Pregnancy Rate (-4.8) might have you sweating bullets, so plan those breedings carefully. 

Redcarpet Story Arc: The Total Package 

Story Arc (730HO00005) is bringing the heat with a +4.56 PTAT. This Architect*RC x BLizzard x Doc son from the  Ms Zbw Dempsey Louana-ET EX-94 2E family is a rare combo platter of extreme type and solid production.

Strengths: 

  • High PTAT score
  • Balanced production (+854 Milk, +24 Fat, +26 Protein)
  • Red factor carrier

Breeding Pattern:  Story Arc’s girls are built like linebackers with dairy flair (+2.11 Strength, +2.53 Body Depth) and more open ribs than a BBQ joint (+2.47 Dairy Form).

Watch Out For:  His Daughter’s Pregnancy Rate (-4.8) and Cow Conception Rate (-6.6) might have you seeing red, so keep those repro vets on speed dial. 

Jimtown Nelson: The Frame Game 

Nelson (288HO00321) is crushing it with a +4.36 PTAT. This Hammer x Milio x Doc son is all about that bass – no treble.

Strengths: 

  • High PTAT score
  • Excellent production (+1079 Milk, +32 Fat, +31 Protein)
  • Strong Feet & Legs Score (+2.56)

Breeding Pattern: Nelson’s daughters are taller than a giraffe in stilettos (+5.47 Stature), more substantial than a bodybuilder’s bicep (+3.37 Strength), and more profound than a philosopher’s thoughts (+4.07 Body Depth). Plus, they have rumps wider than a Cadillac (+4.83 Trudder Width).

Watch Out For:  His extreme size might have your barn doors begging for mercy. Also, watch that slightly negative Productive Life (-1.0). 

SHG Lazer *RC: The Red-Hot Ticket 

Lazer (515HO00485) is the top dog for Red Carriers with a smokin’ +4.00 PTAT. This maternal brother to Lego (Winterbay Goldwyn Lotto EX-95-CAN family) is your ticket to breeding red and white beauties that’ll stand out in the parade.

Strengths: 

  • High PTAT score
  • Strong production (+817 lbs Milk, positive components)
  • A2A2 and BB kappa-casein genotypes

Breeding Pattern: Lazer’s ladies sport udders that will make the judge’s jaw drop (+2.76 UDC) and overall type that will make the competition green with envy (+4.24 PTAT).

Watch Out For:  While Lazer offers a more balanced profile than his brother Lego, watch out for those pesky fertility issues that love to crash the high-type party. 

Golden-Oaks Master-ET: The Type Maestro 

Golden-Oaks Master-ET (799HO00016), a beacon of excellence in the dairy industry, continues to impress as he solidifies his position at the pinnacle of the PTAT rankings. With a commanding +3.73 PTAT score, Master is celebrated as a proven type powerhouse. His daughters consistently reflect his superior genetics, becoming paragons of type and style in herds worldwide. This unwavering dominance showcases Master as an invaluable asset to any progressive breeding program aiming for show ring success. 

Strengths: 

  • #1 PTAT proven sire
  • #1 Conformation proven sire (tie)
  • Exceptional udder traits: +2.91 UDC, +4.12 Fore Udder Attachments, +4.75 Rear Udder Height, +3.69 Rear Udder Width

Breeding Pattern: The master consistently sires daughters of an outstanding overall type, particularly excelling in udder conformation. Expect progeny with well-attached fore udders, high and wide rear udders, and balanced overall conformation. 

Watch Out For: While Master excels in type traits, review his production and health trait proofs to ensure a well-rounded breeding decision. 

Progenesis Aneesh: The Canadian Conformation King 

Aneesh (0200HO12971) has taken the Canadian genomic scene by storm, claiming the coveted #1 spot for TYPE with a jaw-dropping +18 Conformation score. This maple syrup-sweet stud redefines what it means to be a type powerhouse north of the border.

Strengths: 

  • Exceptional +18 Conformation score
  • Top-ranking genomic sire for type in Canada
  • Balanced production traits

Breeding Pattern: Aneesh is siring daughters who are true show-stoppers. Expect females with picture-perfect udders, rock-solid feet and legs, and dairy strength that will have you doing a double-take.

Watch Out For:  While Aneesh is the cream of the crop for type, keep an eye on functional traits like fertility and longevity. Even with a conformation superstar, it’s crucial to maintain a balanced breeding approach. 

Hyden Limited P: The Proven Conformation Champion 

Hyden Limited P (799HO00024) has firmly established himself as a premier sire, sharing the top spot for Daughter Proven Conformation in Canada with an impressive +16 Conformation score.

Strengths: 

  • Exceptional +16 Conformation score
  • Demonstrated performance through daughter data
  • Polled genetics (P)

Breeding Pattern: Limited P consistently produces daughters of a remarkable overall type. Expect females to display balanced frames, robust dairy characters, and the kind of conformation that captures attention in the show ring and the milking parlor. 

Watch Out For: Although Limited P excels in conformation, it is crucial to consider additional traits such as production and health when integrating him into your breeding program. As with any proven sire, evaluate his complete proof to make a comprehensive breeding decision. 

Jacobs Sabre: The Shakira Connection 

Jacobs Sabre (200HO12963) brings the genetic potential of the famous Erbacres Snapple Shakira EX-97 4E to your breeding program. 

Strengths:

  • Direct son of the internationally renowned Erbacres Snapple Shakira EX-97 4E  
  • Carries the Red factor  
  • Potential for exceptional type and production 

Breeding Pattern: Given his dam’s exceptional conformation, Jacobs Sabre will likely sire daughters with excellent udders, strong dairy character, and the potential for show ring success. 

Watch Out For:  Fertility concerns are evident, with a slightly negative Daughter Pregnancy Rate (DPR) and a low Cow Conception Rate (CCR), necessitating careful reproductive management. 

Mr Lambda Flame-ET: The Footloose Legacy 

Mr. Lambda Flame-ET (744HO00204) emerges as a sire with exceptional dairy character and stature. He promises to produce daughters that stand out in the show ring and carry the genetic potential of his dam, the renowned Oakfield Solomon Footloose.
Strengths:
    •    Outstanding Dairy Form (+2.91)
    •    Impressive Stature (+1.94)
    •    Deep Body (+1.70)
Breeding Pattern: Flame consistently sires daughters with extreme dairy character, tall frames, and deep bodies. Expect females with open ribs, strong dairy strength, and the stature that captures attention in the show ring and the milking parlor.
Watch Out For: While Flame excels in dairy traits, be mindful of potential impacts on strength (+0.68) when using him extensively in your breeding program. Also, consider the slightly positive Rump Angle (+0.20) if you aim for more level rumps.

Strengths: 

  • Direct son of Oakfield Solomon Footloose, 2022 World Dairy Expo Supreme Champion
  • Combines Tatoo’s genetic merit with Footloose’s exceptional showring pedigree
  • Potential for extreme type and show ring appeal

Breeding Pattern:  Exceptional udders are a hallmark, stemming from Footloose’s renowned mammary system. These cows exhibit a strong dairy character and overall style. This gives them potential not only for show ring success but also for a functional type.

Watch Out For:  Production traits report limited information on milk figures, suggesting this may not be his strongest trait. 

Blondin Energy: The Rising Star 

Blondin Energy (799HO00034) is emerging with force as a formidable contender in the type rankings. With reports of an impressive +4.05 PTAT score, Energy stands as a beacon of potential. His anticipated dominance in the rankings is not just about numbers but also the promise of genetic excellence it heralds for breeders aiming for the spotlight. 

Strengths: 

  • With an exceptional PTAT of +4.05
  • Conformation score of +14
  • High numbers on both sides of the border

Breeding Pattern: Energy’s high PTAT suggests he likely sires daughters with excellent overall conformation, excelling in dairy strength, udder traits, and feet and legs. 

Watch Out For: Blondin Energy excels in certain traits but may not be as strong in others, particularly in fertility traits.

Is Erbacers Snapple Shakira One of the Greatest Show Cows of All Time?

Uncover why Erbacres Snapple Shakira stands among the top dairy show cows of all time. What makes her excel in the competitive dairy arena?

From the moment she steps into the arena, Erbacers Snapple Shakira captivates the audience with her extraordinary presence, embodying a level of grace and beauty that seems almost otherworldly. Her fame transcends the typical bounds of a dairy cow. Propelled to stardom through viral photos and videos, but what genuinely elevates a dairy cow to greatness? Is it her physical perfection, her show ring accomplishments, or the way she commands the show ring with an aura of triumph? Join us as we explore what sets Shakira apart in her quest for greatness, focusing on the unique attributes that have made her a significant figure in the dairy industry. 

Ancestral Glory: The Pedigree Perfection of Erbacres Snapple Shakira

Born of the finest lineage, Shakira is more than just a name in the world of Holstein dairy cows; she is a living embodiment of pedigree perfection turning into reality. This remarkable cow carries the legacy of her ancestors with a quiet dignity that commands respect.  Her sire, GS Alliance O Kaliber, hails from one of the most outstanding European show cows of all time, O’Kalibra, renowned for her flawless conformation. This lineage sets a high bar for excellence, but Shakira’s genetic portfolio doesn’t stop there.  (Read more: DECRAUSAZ IRON O’KALIBRA: Simply the Best)

Decrausaz Iron O’Kalibra

On her maternal side, Shakira’s dam, Ms. Apple Snapple Red, brings the legendary influence of the Apple lineage, which is well-known for producing champions with impressive stature and exceptional dairy strength. This powerful combination of genetic traits bestows Shakira not just a desirable bloodline but the physical manifestation of her heritage’s best qualities. Her frame, dairy character, and impeccable composure on the show floor make her a once-in-a-lifetime cow that is a testament to what can be crafted through thoughtful and deliberate breeding.  (Read more: KHW Regiment Apple-Red-ET – Everything and more)

This blend of genetic excellence is genuinely awe-inspiring, highlighting the intricate dance between nature and nurture that results in such an extraordinary creature. Whether gracefully gliding across the showring or standing stately amongst her peers, Shakira’s presence is a vivid reminder of the heights that can be achieved through careful breeding and passionate stewardship. (Read more – Erbacres Snapple Shakira – The New International Superstar)

The Architectural Marvel: Shakira’s Triumph of Form and Function

Erbacres Snapple Shakira is a paragon of dairy excellence, her silhouette balancing strength and elegance. Her robust frame speaks of unparalleled dairy strength, with a neck flowing seamlessly into broad shoulders and wide, spring fore ribs, creating a front end of grandeur and a spacious, angular midsection. 

Shakira boasts a long and lean yet wide rump, providing ideal support for her udder, a marvel of silk texture, shallowness, and unmatched capacity. Her fore udder attachment is exemplary, offering long and robust support, ensuring productivity and longevity. 

Her legs reflect her elite status. They are crafted for strength and grace with angularity and correctness, enabling her fluid motion. These traits are not merely aesthetic; they exemplify functionality and efficiency in dairy production. Shakira’s dairy strength, udder quality, and anatomical precision place her in a league of her own, inspiring awe and admiration.

Dairy Dynasties: Shakira’s Ascent to Legendary

In the elite arena of dairy excellence, Shakira stakes her claim as a titan, poised alongside the greats. Her stature in the pantheon of Holstein legends is due to her aesthetic superiority and the dynamic performance metrics she embodies. When evaluating dairy cows’ crème de la crème, two main criteria must be considered: phenotypic perfection and competitive track record. 

Shakira’s transcendent beauty and structural fortitude earn her a place in the top four all-time, rivaling titans like Thurlane James RoseRainyridge Tony Beauty, and Brookview Tony Charity. With her 2 World Dairy Expo Grand Championships, 2 Royal Winter Fair Grand Championships, and an HM at each, Shakira surpasses the likes of Acme Star Lily, RF Goldwyn Hailey, and Harvue Roy Frosty. She achieves this based on her grand appearance and ability to rise to the occasion against the prolific competition.  (Read more:  The 8 Greatest North American Show Cows of All-Time)

Furthermore, Shakira’s journey is marked by a unique narrative of overcoming adversity, which did not deter her pursuit of excellence. This tenacity, paired with her extraordinary attributes, cements her status as a dairy icon capable of outshining many, including prestigious figures that precede her.  

Shakira’s Odyssey: Navigating the Modern Showring Gauntlet

In the dynamic and often unpredictable world of dairy show competitions, Erbacres Snapple Shakira has encountered unique challenges that have colored her quest for historical greatness. The increased parity in today’s competitive landscape presents a significant hurdle. Unlike the legends of bygone eras, where fewer extraordinary competitors dominated the field, Shakira finds herself in an arena where excellence is abundant and the margin for error is razor-thin. Her resilience and adaptability in the face of these challenges are truly inspiring. 

Gone are when a single cow could quickly sweep the Champion titles on reputation alone. Each show presents a battleground of near-equal adversaries prepared to seize the top spot. This heightened competition demands perfection in performance at each show, leaving little room for consistency. 

Shakira was Grand Champion at all the Canadian Shows held during the COVID Lockdowns

The specter of COVID-19 further complicated Shakira’s ascent to legendary status, mirroring the plight faced by the iconic James Rose during the mad cow outbreak. Just as health crises curtailed James Rose’s opportunities, limiting her appearances at pivotal shows, Shakira, too, was robbed of a year of triumphant showcases due to pandemic-related cancellations. Like her predecessors, such disruptions postponed her glory and altered the trajectory of her competitive journey. 

As Shakira navigates these contemporary challenges, she exemplifies resilience and adaptability, much like the icons who paved the way before her. Her pursuit of excellence in the face of adversity is a source of inspiration, reminding us that true legends are forged in moments of victory and their unwavering dedication to rise above the trials of their time.

The Bottom Line

Shakira stands as a paragon of excellence in the dairy world, and her achievements are a testament to her remarkable genetic lineage and the impeccable harmony of her physical attributes. Her journey, marked by challenges and triumphs, reflects the evolving landscape of contemporary dairy exhibitions. Shakira’s pursuit of excellence is a compelling narrative from her charismatic presence at the World Dairy Expo or The Royal to her near-mythical reputation among breeders and judges. Despite circumstances like heightened competition and global disruptions, her determination to rise above these challenges has etched her legacy in the annals of dairy history, surpassing many while finding kinship with the legendary icons of the past. 

As we look to the future of dairy competitions, we must ponder: What defines a legendary dairy cow today? Is it the pedigree, the performance, or the perception cultivated within the dairy industry’s ever-evolving landscape? The answer may hold the key to shaping the next era of dairy champions, whose triumphs will redefine greatness for future generations, primarily influenced by the journey and achievements of cows like Shakira.

Key Takeaways:

  • Erbacres Snapple Shakira is a living embodiment of genetic excellence, representing the pinnacle of Holstein breeding.
  • Her lineage combines the best traits of her acclaimed sire GS Alliance O Kaliber and dam Ms. Apple Snapple Red.
  • Shakira’s impressive form is characterized by a perfect blend of solid features and dairy strength, emphasizing her genetic superiority.
  • She ranks among the top five most excellent cows of all time, reflecting her remarkable achievements in dairy show competitions.
  • The competitive nature of modern-day showrooms makes it difficult for cows to achieve legendary status, yet Shakira has managed to stand out.
  • Shakira’s career faced challenges from external factors like the COVID-19 pandemic, which impacted her potential grand championships.
  • Her journey through the showring highlights the increased parity and extremity of competition in today’s dairy industry.

Summary:

Is Erbacres Snapple Shakira an epitome of greatness in the dairy world? She has set a benchmark for Holstein dairy cows with her flawless pedigree, physical perfection, and competitive accolades. Shakira is more than a mere show cow; she embodies genetic excellence and poise that put her in the League of Legends. However, she faced unprecedented challenges and competition in the show ring; her elegance and consistency point to an undeniable destiny of greatness. Her viral presence at the World Dairy Expo showcased her top lineage, combining GS Alliance O Kaliber and Ms. Apple Snapple Red, her pinnacle of dairy conformation with wide ribs and a perfect udder, ranking her among all-time greats, comparable to legends like Thrulane James Rose. As a symbol of pedigree perfection, Shakira merges strength and elegance in her robust frame and fluid motion, affirming her place as a titan of dairy excellence.
