Young Breeder Panel to Highlight National Holstein Convention
Wisconsin Ag Connection - 06/02/2008

One of the highlights planned for the National Holstein Convention this month in Wisconsin is a panel discussion with Holstein breeders. The discussion will be focused on 'The Future of the Dairy Industry from a Young Holstein Breeder's Perspective.'

The insightful and inspiring forum will take place at 1:45 p.m. on June 25 at the Kalahari Convention Center in Wisconsin Dells. This forum could serve as a catalyst for young people, and perhaps others of all ages to get involved in the dairy industry.

The innovative dairy producer-panelists include Mark Crave, Waterloo; Randy Gross, Elkton, S.D.; Stephen Maddox, Jr., Riverdale, California; Kylie Quesnel, Whiting, Vermont; and Mark Ulness, Valders. They represent a wide array of dairy operations, from coast to coast, in terms of management systems and number of cows.

These individuals could be successful in many professions, but they have decided to cast their lot in the dairy industry as actual dairy producers. Three of the five are Young Dairy Leaders Institute alumni.

The panelists will discuss why they chose to make a career of dairying, and share their perspective on the future of the dairy industry. Additionally, they will address how they got started, what makes their dairies unique, and their management philosophies.

The National Holstein Convention takes place June 25-26. It's the first time Wisconsin has hosted the meeting since 1986.
