When you bring this many cows to a place like World Dairy Expo they need to be milked. Here at Expo, thanks to Bou-Matic, there’s the milk house.
Walking The Barns
Out in the barns you’ll find some very creative displays that the various farms set up in their area like this one.
Featuring Our Sponsor – The Callicrate Bander
The Callicrate Smart Bander was the first sponsor of World Dairy Diary and that makes them the first sponsor of a farm show blog! In the picture is Rachel Dodd, Tom King and Mike Callicrate.
Take A Tour And Never Leave The Grounds
One of the features of World Dairy Expo is the virtual farm tours. These are scheduled periodically throughout the show. Participants go to one of the meeting rooms where they’re scheduled and they can then see and hear the tour. Some are done with video and other’s with computer slides.
Manager of the Media
I stopped in the media room earlier to see what’s going on. Not much, although there’s a lot more media folks here today.
Kids Shopping At The Purple Cow
Everybody loves pictures of kids. As I told you earlier, there’s a lot of youth tours happening today.
Make Your Cow Comfy
Sometimes a booth just catches my eye for one reason or another. I saw the Comfy Cow when I was thinking it was a good time for a nap. This (not real) cow has it’s very own custom designed mattress to doze off on!
Beef, It Goes With Cheese
Another food vendor that I’m going to have to go back and see is the Wisconsin Cattlemen’s Association. Besides their food booth they brought in the Beefmobile. I couldn’t find the Beefmobile wrangler but I’m sure she’s wandering around here somewhere.
Wisconsin Hot Cheese
It’s lunch time here on day number two. In the outside exhibit area just outside the Exhibition Hall, there’s a whole row of food vendors.
Youth Tours Arriving Today
Today and tomorrow are going to be very busy for the youth tour folks here at Expo. These volunteers are ready for them though.
