Junior members battled for a chance at the National Holstein Dairy Bowl Championship! Finals will be held tomorrow morning, before the National Junior Forum.

Tomorrow will be an exciting day for Juniors all around, as results from many of the week's contests, including the coveted Distinguished Junior Member finalists, will be announced. Stay tuned for complete results.

Meanwhile, Holstein Association USA's Annual Meeting got off to a high-energy start in an Early Bird session with Stan Erwine of Dairy Management Inc., who talked about how, working together, we can all help build consumer confidence in milk and in the dairy industry.

"Holstein Genomics Today," a panel about Holstein genetics from the viewpoint of several experts who work with genomics everyday, illuminated many of the issues people are talking about these days. Dan Weigel, Michael Bishop, Chuck Ripp, and Nate Zwald made up the panel.

The convention winds up Friday, with the National Junior Forum, the National Holstein Women's Scholarship Organization annual meeting. The Convention Banquet wraps things up beautifully, with announcement of the Distinguished Young Holstein Breeder, the Elite Breeder, and Distinguished Leadership awards.
