A Wisconsin cow took top honors at World Dairy Expo 2009. Harvue Roy Frosty, a five-year-old Holstein cow from Rudolph, Wisconsin, was crowned Supreme Champion of World Dairy Expo 2009. Sired by Roylane Jordan-ET, she was exhibited by Mike and Julie Duckett, Jim and Nancy Junemann and Scott Armbrust. Currently classified EX-95, Frosty was bred by Dave and Debra Hardesty of Berryville, Virginia.
Reserve Supreme Champion of the show was legendary Brown Swiss, Old Mill E Snickerdoodle OCS, bred and exhibited by Allen Bassler, Jr. of Upperville, Virginia. This is the second year in a row that Snickerdoodle was Reserve Supreme, the sixth time she has topped the Central National Brown Swiss show. She was Supreme Champion in 2003.
Attendance was down a little this year as expected due to the dairy economy, 64,796 visited the show this year compared to just over 68,000 last year. There were 2,551 international guests from 91 countries this year, fewer people but representing more countries than last year.
There were 2,607 head of cattle shown by 912 exhibitors from 35 states and 7 Canadian provinces. Holsteins made up the largest group, 760 head followed by 482 Jerseys, 382 Brown Swiss, 336 Red & White Holsteins, 235 Ayrshires, 213 Milking Shorthorn and 199 Guernseys.
