Time is running out to enter cattle to compete on the legendary colored shavings in October at World Dairy Expo®; entry fees increase after midnight (CST) on Friday, August 31. Both paper and electronic entries will remain open through September 9, with only paper entries continuing to be accepted until the day of the show.
All animals must have an official Canadian CCIA or USDA AIN RFID or visual tag number listed on their entry form at the time of submission. Animals lacking this number – or with a pending identification number – will not be accepted. More information regarding identification requirements, along with entry forms, schedule of events, rules and other updates are available online at www.worlddairyexpo.com and are included in the Premium Book – mailed to recent dairy cattle exhibitors on July 1.
