The Dane County Juniors were glad to have a year a little closer to normal! Even through there wasn’t a full Junior Convention, Payton and Braelyn Sarbacker competed in the Dairy Bowl contest at the Southeast District Activity Days. Additionally, Ava Endres was recognized as a National YDJM award recipient at National Holstein Convention in Pennsylvania. The juniors were also excited to have shows back throughout the summer!

We hosted a Summer Picnic for all of our members at Hobby Hill Holsteins in July. Attendees enjoyed a potluck lunch, dairy judging contest, and a short awards program. Evan Martin and Luke Trustem were both presented scholarships.

A few of our members attended the National Holstein Convention earlier this year, with Josh Gerbitz and Ben Kronberg both being named Distinguished Junior Member Finalists.

Our Juniors participated in several local, state and national shows this year with exceptional results. Highlights include Top 10 finishes at World Dairy Expo for a few members and Intermediate Champion of the International Junior Holstein Show for Gracin and Chesney Speich.

Nicole Broege continues to represent Rock County on the state level as Chair of the Junior Activities Committee. We have a great group of members that are excited to compete and have fun at the Junior Holstein Convention at the end of this year.

Emily is so thankful to have spent her year as the WHA Princess Attendant and served with confidence and grace. Even when she had to present the Grand Champion Holstein at Expo with a trophy that was about as big as her!
