Are you a fan of the Cow Parade? Here’s a cool way to keep up with the artists who are busy working on new cows. Some of them have their own blogs. The latest Moo-Town Moosletter lists the following:
Wisconsin Dairy Business Going Strong
I like this report put together by the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board. They get their data from the Wisconsin Ag Statistics Service. It puts it in an easier to read format.
ILDEX 2006 In Vietnam & India
If you’re travelling in the area of Vietnam next week you might want to check out ILDEX 2006. If you miss that they’ll have one in India in April. It stands for “The International Livestock & Dairy Expo,” which in this case will be “For Emerging Markets In Asia.”
Does Your School Have Healthy Student Bodies?

A New Way to Trade
If you use the Chicago Mercantile Exchange for any risk management of your Class III Milk, you can start trading 24 hours a day!
Father and Son Drown in Lagoon
Fresno, CA report a real tradgedy in the community, leaving too many questions about how a father and son died at a local dairy. Deputies found the 27-year-old Luiz Gutierrez and his eight-year-old son at the bottom of the manure lagoon.
Dairy Prices Down Again Last Week
Prices for dairy products fell again last week, with average prices for Cheddar, Butter, Nonfat Dry Milk and Dry Whey all sliding.

Maybe somebody was skeptical about ice cream being pleasing to the brain and the taste buds. Whatever the reason, MaggieMoos Ice Cream & Treatery decided to get some scientific evidence to prove it. I say “duh.” My brain’s been telling me ice cream is good since I had my tonsils out in first grade (actually even before that).
Story Briefs
Okay, time for some news again.
No News But Some Country Music
I’m sorry I haven’t posted since last week. I really thought I’d find some dairy news at Commodity Classic but in all the busy-ness that didn’t happen. However, since we’re running a video iPod contest for New Holland I thought I’d share this with you.
