The 27th Ohio Spring Dairy Expo was held at the Ohio Expo Center in Columbus, Ohio, on March 28 – 30. A total of 758 quality animals representing all seven breeds of dairy cattle were on the grounds for the shows and sales, an increase of more than 100 head over last year. Exhibitors traveled from across Ohio and nine other states to present their entries to judges Tim Abbott of Fairfield, Vermont and Steve Hendress of Walcott, Indiana.
This year’s event featured seven shows in which 602 open class and junior animals competed for the top spots and six sales offering 186 cattle that are now headed to new homes across the country. Continuing again this year was the All-Breed Youth Showmanship Competition which was sponsored by the American Dairy Association Mideast who provided a cash prize to each contestant, regardless of placing.
Spring Dairy Expo will be held March 27 – 29, 2014, again at the Ohio Expo Center. In addition to continuing the tradition of high-quality shows, sales, and youth events, the 2014 Expo will also offer a Holstein USA Judges Conference for individuals interested in judging national Holstein shows.
