As someone involved in the dairy industry, being able to attend the World Dairy Expo (WDE) might be my favorite week of the year! How to explain the World Dairy Expo to someone that has never been though? Every year, dairy cattle and people that love them invade the Alliant Energy Center in Madison, WI. According to their website<\/a>, in 2013 over 70,000 people made the trip. This number includes over 2,905 registered international guests from 92 countries. Don’t forget about the 2,225 head of cattle from 36 states and seven provinces in Canada that competed in 7 different breed shows though either!<\/p>\n “Dairy Farmers are always working on continuous improvement, WDE is all about ideas, tools, conversation, education and connections that will help us get better at caring for our cows, people and land.”<\/p>\n
