Time to plan for the New York Spring Dairy Carousel April 7-10 in Syracuse at the New York State Fairgrounds. The 42nd edition, sponsored by the New York Holstein Association, will include shows for all major dairy breeds along with top-notch Holstein and Protein Breed sales.

In 2016, over 200 youth from the Northeast participated in the judging contest followed by eight different breed shows featuring 800 head of dairy cattle. Many of the animals have won their respective breed’s All-American contests as “The Carousel” has become known as, “the show of the spring.”  The Holstein Sale had an exciting line up of high genomic females, potential show winners, Red and Whites, and members of the Breed’s most distinguished cow families. The 76 lots in 2016 averaged $3,955.

The Carousel officially kicks off Friday, April 7, 9:00 a.m., with the Youth Showmanship Contest  followed at 12:30 p.m. with the third annual Richard Keene Memorial Youth Judging Contest. This event is sponsored by Farm Credit Northeast AgEnchancement.  At 6:00 p.m. will be the Protein Breeds Sale.

New York Junior Holstein members are center stage on Saturday morning, April 8, with the Junior Holstein Show judged by Carl Phoenix, Sunderland, Ontario. Saturday afternoon starting at Noon, Jeff Stephens, Troy, Ontario lines up the Ayrshires. In the other ring, Mike Berry, Albany, OR places the Guernseys. The day concludes with New York Spring Holstein Sale starting at 3:00 p.m. sponsored by the New York Holstein Association and managed by The Cattle Exchange of Delhi, NY.  The day concludes with the fun-filled Junior Olympics & Pizza Party for the juniors.

Sunday morning 8:00 a.m. finds the Red & Whites in the Coliseum for Phoenix’s evaluation.  At 9:00 a.m. Mike Deaver, Edgerton, WI places the Milking Shorthorns. In the afternoon, Mike Berry has the honor of evaluating the Jerseys while Stephens places the Brown Swiss.

The Carousel culminates on Monday, April 10 with the New York International Spring Holstein Show judged by Mike Deaver.
