Zoe’s Moos Reviews

Happy Fall, Holstein Friends,

It’s my favorite time of the year, but I cannot believe how fast summer has come and gone! Emily and I stayed quite busy these last few months as we traveled to different district shows, attended State Show, breakfasts on the farm, and let’s not forget about State Fair! It was so nice to reunite with everyone after a year off and to be back in Madison for State Show again. One of my favorite highlights while being at State Fair was the All- Breeds Futurity. I was looking forward to this event ever since I was crowned and it was so much fun... until I awarded the first place cow and turned around to walk through a messy pile! Needless to say, thanks to Hailey Hendrickson, most known as “intern,” my dress and shoes were cleaned up in a matter of five minutes and looked brand new for pictures!

As the days became cooler, I knew that World Dairy Expo was right around the corner! When Expo was cancelled last year, I knew the start of fall wouldn’t be the same. The last week of September to the first week in October is when I meet up with friends in Madison one last time before we had school and no shows until the spring. The highlight each year was seeing who could guess what color the shavings would be! We always enjoy watching exceptional cattle grace the colored shavings and visiting the grilled cheese stand frequently.

After the show is over, we start getting into winter and the colder months of the year, which means that Junior Holstein Convention is right around the corner. I encourage members to try something new at the convention, maybe that’s dairy bowl or sharpening your public speaking by participating in the speaking contest!

All I can say is this year is flying by and time will not slow down. I feel so grateful for the opportunities I have had this year, along with the people I have met. In the upcoming months I hope to make even more memories as the WHA Princess. As the end of the year nears, royalty applications are now open. You can find them on the Wisconsin Holstein website and they are due November 5 to the Wisconsin Holstein Association office. If you have any questions don’t be shy, Emily and myself would love to talk more!

Enjoy everything fall, Sincerely, Zoe Ertel
