Wisconsin Ag Connection - 10/07/2013

Two Wisconsin natives have been recognized by World Dairy Expo over the weekend for their success at the annual dairy show and continued involvement in the dairy industry.

Cassy Krull is the 2013 recipient of the Merle Howard Award, which is presented to the top junior exhibitor at the show who demonstrates exemplary skills in fitting, showmanship and overall passion for the industry. A three-breed award winner with Red & White, Holstein and Jersey cattle, Krull is a critical piece of her family's 800-acre dairy farm in southeast Wisconsin. She has placed among the top five in showmanship competitions at WDE, Wisconsin State Fair, and was named Supreme Champion Showman at the Southern National Show. Krull also is the first woman to be a leads person at WDE's World Classic Sale.

In junior breed programs, Krull was named a Distinguished Younger Junior Member by Holstein Association USA in 2010 and was named the 58th National Jersey Youth Achievement Award winner this year. Previously, she served as the National Jersey Queen.

Also on Saturday, Jason Danhof, who now farms in Waukon, Iowa, earned the A.C. 'Whitie' Thomson Memorial Award. That honor goes to the herdsman who exhibits exemplary leadership and sportsmanship throughout the show.

Danhof has exhibited animals at the Minnesota State Fair, World Dairy Expo, North American International Livestock Exposition, as well as local and state shows. He graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1998 with a degree in Dairy Science. While exhibiting at WDE, Danhof has exhibited class winners in three breeds, including the 1996 Grand Champion Guernsey of the Junior Show. For over 25 years, Danhof has immersed himself into all aspects of the dairy industry becoming internationally recognized as a premier dairy cattle developer. He has worked with many top registered dairy cattle breeders throughout the U.S., as well as breeders in 16 different countries.

World Dairy Expo wrapped up Saturday in Madison.
