World Beef Expo will have a few new faces on their executive board for the 2016 show!
During their board meeting in Sun Priaire – Kevin Doherty, Watertown, Wisconsin, Bruce Thorson, Rudolph, Wisconsin, and Shane Miller, Brodhead, Wisconsin, were elected to three-year terms on the executive board. Cody Quam, Lodi, Wisconsin, was re-elected as the 2016 board president.
Now in it's 24th year – the all-volunteer board plans and coordinates World Beef Expo, held annually each September.
In 2015 World Beef Expo hosted 26 breed shows, and exhibitors from 18 states displayed, exhibited, or sold cattle during the three-day event.
This year's World Beef Expo, which will take place September 23-25, 2016, at Wisconsin State Fair Park, will be the twenty-fourth edition and welcomes all breeds of cattle. It will be hosting an Angus Roll of Victory Show as well as several national breed shows. In addition to the open and junior shows, there will be a youth sweepstakes, youth showmanship, silent auction, educational opportunities, tradeshow, and an elite cattle sale featuring a variety of high quality beef cattle offered for auction on Saturday afternoon. The Supreme Champion Drive will be held on Saturday night and is a spectacular event showcasing the best of the best.
One new element that's been added for 2016 is the launch of a new breeder’s directory on the World Beef Expo website. This website will aim to help breeders with their marketing efforts connecting breeders of all breeds of cattle with potential buyers and provide further networking opportunities. Breeders do not have to exhibit cattle at World Beef Expo to be listed in the directory. The directory listing can link to the breeder’s website or Facebook page, and they have the option to list their information for multiple breeds.
