🐄 We had a fun and educational day at World Dairy Expo!
🥛 Students were able to watch the Jersey cows show on the colored shavings, explore business that could one day turn into employers, and learn from some of our best agricultural advocates like Alice in Dairyland!
🧀 Most splurged on dairy products like grilled cheese sandwiches, ice cream, and free chocolate milk (thanks to the Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin)!

🐓 Have you ever watched the poultry show?

Showmanship is one-on-one with the judge. You must explain everything you know about your chosen bird: correct weight, history, coloring, feathering, defects of that particular breed, faults, and weaknesses. Birds must be handled correctly, including putting them in and out of a cage. Exhibitors must also know the nomenclature of the bird: identifying all parts and anatomy correctly. Lots of studying is involved!

Birds are also then judged in their respective breed class against others of the same breed at the show. They must present specific breed characteristics and have proper anatomy. It is the exhibitor's job to pick their best animals from their flock, finding the flaws and breeding for perfection.

🍦 Stop by the Farm Bureau Ice Cream Barn to visit us! We'll be scooping until 2:00 today!

Marathon County Farm Bureau has been a key sponsor in some of our FFA events, including a farm-focused conference called Farm Forum and our annual Thank A Farmer initiative. We value our partnership with the Farm Bureau and are grateful for their support of our chapter!

How do you give the judge the best view?

One life lesson these kids may not even realize they're learning is how to present something other than themselves. In the show ring, their job is to consistently showcase their pig—highlighting its style, movement, and overall presence—all while staying calm in the middle of complete chaos. (I dare you to turn 10 pigs loose in a pen and try it yourself! 🫣)

It takes focus, patience, quick thinking, and determination. Watching these young exhibitors work through the challenges and continue putting their best foot forward is always impressive.

The ribbons are great, but the skills they're building along the way will last a lifetime. ❤️🐷

🐷🐔 Tomorrow is Show Day for our swine and poultry exhibitors!

Be sure to stop by the fairgrounds and support these hardworking youth as they showcase the projects they've spent months raising and caring for. From early mornings to daily chores, their dedication and commitment are on full display during fair week.

We wish all of our swine and poultry exhibitors the best of luck in the show ring tomorrow. Have fun, do your best, and enjoy the experience!

See you at the fair! 🎡☀️
