 World Dairy Expo Entry Deadline Approaching

MADISON, WIS. – Time is running out to enter cattle to compete on the legendary colored shavings October 1-5 at World Dairy Expo; entry fees increase on Sunday, September 8 after 11:59 p.m. (CST). Electronic entries will remain open through September 19, with paper entries continuing to be accepted until the day of the show, both for an increased fee.

All animals must have an official Canadian CCIA or USDA AIN RFID or visual tag number listed on their entry form at the time of submission.

More information regarding identification requirements, along with entry forms, schedule of events, rules and other updates are available online at www.worlddairyexpo.com and are included in the Premium Book – mailed to recent dairy cattle exhibitors on July 1.
