The Dairy Show World Dairy Expo

On this episode of the Dairy Show, sponsored by Legacy Seeds, we visit with John and Sheri Egan of Egan Family Dairy, located in Omro, Wisconsin and their agronomist, Judd Hodgen. Achieving herd production goals of 100 pounds of milk and 7.25 pounds of solids per cow was made possible, in large part, to the quality forages they raise and feed the 500+ cow herd. Champions of the 2021 World Forage Superbowl Standard Corn Silage Category, these folks know a thing or two about producing quality feed. 
Join the Egan Family as they celebrate June Dairy Month on their Centennial Farm on June 1. They will be hosting Grilled Cheese Day from 10 am to 2 pm, sponsored by the Winnebago County Farm Bureau. Follow this link for more info:  https://www.visitoshkosh.com/event/grilled-cheese-day/137139/

You may know her as "The Mother Teresa of World Dairy Expo," but did you know she was also a multi-sport collegiate athlete and an award winning dairy judge?  Join us on this episode of The Dairy Show to learn more about this industry leader.

"Where the Global Dairy Industry Meets" is more than a World Dairy Expo tagline to Jack and Logan Cliffe. Jack is originally from Scotland and Logan from Delaware. The couple met at the show in 2013, and when Jack dropped to one knee in the middle of the showring in 2015, it resulted in happily ever after for the past ten years. Tune in to this special Valentine's Day episode of The Dairy Show to learn where their first decade of marriage has taken them.

Containing emerging diseases and keeping pace with mutating viruses is an ongoing war. Vaccines have historically taken five years or more to research, develop, produce and license and once released, they may no longer be relevant. MedGene Laboratories recently received a USDA license to product the first Platform Vaccines for the dairy industry. Dr. Alan Young, Professor, South Dakota State Animal Disease Research and Diagnostic Laboratory and Chief Technology Officer for Medgene Labs shares how nimble and effective platform vaccine technology is in the battle against bovine diseases.
