World Dairy Expo is where the dairy industry meets.
No other dairy event in the world compares. Designed for dairy producers and industry partners, World Dairy Expo is a showcase for elite dairy cattle, cutting-edge research and modern technologies.
Every year World Dairy Expo serves as the meeting ground for more than 65,000 producers, exhibitors and industry representatives.
And if you’re proud to be one of those 65,000, we want to get to know you.
Dairy Cattle exhibitors traveling from across North America will get a warm welcome to this year’s World Dairy Expo. The Dairy Cattle Show, featuring more than 2,500 head of elite animals, will be held Oct. 4 through Oct. 8 in Madison, Wisconsin. Dairy cattle owners and their staff of bovine beauticians will be bringing their best cattle to World Dairy Expo to compete for honors and to network with fellow dairy producers.
The owners and caretakers of these top-notch animals will be treated to a tasty Exhibitor Welcome Barbecue early in the week as they pack bedding, feed and settle their cattle in for their week-long stay in Madison. The Exhibitor Welcome Barbecue, for dairy cattle exhibitors only, is planned for Sunday, Oct. 2 at 6:30 p.m. in the Estrumate Sale Pavilion. Merck Animal Health has committed to sponsoring this Dairy Cattle Exhibitor event and the Estrumate Sale Pavilion through 2013. Merck’s support of Expo’s Dairy Cattle Show and exhibitors is part of its overall support of Expo as a Five Star Sponsor.

On July 7- 8, Progressive Dairyman founder Leon Leavitt and wife, Jane, traveled to Salmon, Idaho, to participate in an annual rafting trip hosted by Rocky Mountain Pharmaceuticals and Novartis Animal Health.
Jami Gaver, owner of Rocky Mountain Pharmaceutical, partners up with Novartis Animal Health every year to offer this rafting trip to dairy producers in the Magic Valley and Treasure Valley of southern Idaho. This year, 32 producers and guests made the drive to Salmon to take part in the trip.
Just a decade ago, the media was dominated by a few (very loud) voices. We watched the TV news at 5 p.m. and read the newspaper over coffee. If, as a farmer or a manufacturer or an inventor, we wanted to tell our story, we wrote up a press release and faxed it out - hoping someone would bite. Or, we sank thousands into advertising.
For the most part, farmers didn't need to hire a big-city public relations firm to tell consumers that milk came from cows. Then came the social media revolution.
Vi-COR, a manufacturer of specialized yeast-based products for dairy, poultry, swine and beef feed, recently hosted a Discover Vi-COR / China Dairy Summit at its new manufacturing facility in Mason City, Iowa. The goal was to recommend a model for developing and improving China’s dairy industry and establish a resource “think tank.”
