Host Day highlights: Wednesday was National Convention Host Day, and kudos to our hosts, the Illinois Holstein Association, for putting together a fun-filled and interesting day of tours to the farms of local Holstein breeders. Lindale Holsteins, Team Holsteins, and Luck-E Holsteins were gracious hosts to several hundred people.
There were also several great field trips to sites in Chicago, including the Magic Waters Waterpark and the Chicago Lakefront Museum's Shedd Aquarium and Field Museum. No one had an excuse for being bored!
Closing out the day was the much-anticipated National Convention Sale where several lots of top-quality Registered Holsteins were sold, including a calf donated by Bob and Kaye Miller to the Holstein Foundation, which sold for $3,000.
Tomorrow, Junior Holstein members from across the country fire up for the National Dairy Bowl, and Holstein Association USA's 130th Annual Meeting gets underway. We'll update you with highlights tomorrow.
