Announcements:
Since our State Meeting back in March, the proposal to host a 2023 State Show in Beaver Dam was withdrawn by the organizers. After exploring other options and locations, the board decided to host the 54th State Show in conjunction with State Fair. We know this will disappoint those who voted to have a State Show apart from State Fair, but our goal as a board has been to get to approving State Shows more than 12 months out. We look forward to selecting a 2024 State Show location at the annual meeting in March.
Please save the date for the 107th Annual Meeting of the Wisconsin Brown Swiss Association on March 3-4, 2023. We are planning an exciting new format and look forward to sharing details with our members in the next few weeks!
