Record Cattle Numbers,
Youth Involvement
At World Beef Expo
MADISON, Wis. More cattle and more
youth involvement contributed to the success of
World Beef Expo *95 here recently. During the
three-day event, 1,417 cattle from 15 different
breed shows paraded through the show ring in
the open show and junior show. This represent
ed a 27 percent increase over the number of cat
tle exhibited at the 1994 World Beef Expo.
The four largest shows included the Polled
Hereford, Angus, Simmental and Belgian Blue
breeds. Twenty-three states and two Canadian
provinces (Ontario and Saskatchewan) were
represented this year in the cattle exhibition
also a jump from last year of only IS states. Two
new breed shows were added to this year’s Ex
po, which included the Texas Longhorns and
Scottish Highlands.
Rob Duis of Champaign, Illinois took top
honors in the junior division of the “Spirit”
Youth Sweepstakes during World Beef Expo.
Rounding out the top three in the junior division
were Shane Richey of Plymouth, Indiana, sec
ond place; and Jennifer Abrahamson of Hous
ton, Minnesota, third place. The senior division
champ was Jordan Redalen of Fillmore, Minne
sota. Second place went to Wess Richey of Ply
mouth, Indiana, and Jerad Zimmerman of Lan
caster, Wisconsin, won third place honors.
Youths who participated in the “Spirit” Youth
Sweepstakes competed for expanded premiums.
All youth activities were open to any boy or girl
who was nine to 19 years of age as of January 1,
1995. Categories for competition in the “Spirit”
Youth Sweepstakes included seven contests:
showmanship, practical herdsmanship, beef
evaluation, public speaking, individual quiz,
heifer show, and steer show.
More than 500 animals were entered in the
junior show with 344 youths participating, a
slight increase over 1994. The grand champion
market heifer was shown by Jesse Singerhouse
of Menomonie, Wis. The reserve champion
market heifer was shown by Jason Capatske of
Beldenville, Wis. The champion commercial
breeding heifer was exhibited by Tabitha Keene
of Potosi, Wis. and the reserve champion com
mercial breeding heifer was shown by Jennifer
Abrahamson of Houston, Minn.
The overall steer champion was shown by
Rusty Day of Meadow, Texas and Steve Runkel
of Burlington, Wis. showed the reserve cham
pion overall steer.
A total of $420,590 was generated in sales
from the six breed sales during World Beef Ex
po ’95. Two new sales were added this year for
the Limousin and Salas breeds. The top-selling
animal among all six sales was an Angus by the
name of Woodhill Evergreen 120-193 which
sold for $12,250. She was consigned by Wood
hill Angus of Viroqua, Wis.
In March, the World Beef Expo board of
directors voted to change the dates few 1996
World Beef Expo to October 10-12, on the heels
of World Dairy Expo (October 2-6,1996). The
change to a fall schedule will eliminate conflicts
with planting and calving season and will en
hance the sale of bred heifers.
The addition of club calf and finished steer
shows and sales is also expected. The date
change will also help take advantage of the large
international crowd that attends World Dairy
Expo, of which many are involved in both beef
and dairy production in their native country.
