The best of the area’s hand
milkers were shown off in Monroe for the 2010 Cheese Days
Milking Contest.
We extend Blossoms and Swiss cow bells to Gerald Karlen of
Fuzzy’s Audio, and JD and Nico Leonard of Superior Trailers
for their expertise, time and space for this year’s
event. As over 100 individuals used their pull and squirt
techniques, hundreds more filled the bleachers and surrounding
area to watch this traditional event of the festival. Whether
individual or team competition, all divisions combined to
entertain and squeeze a few more drops of milk to claim the
title of a champion milker.
Weights and measures to crown these champs came from Carly
Shafer, Bonnie and Jim Moser of Green County DHIA. Thank you
to the organizers of the participating teams and their unique
milking attire, this is what makes the event so popular and
fun!
And a final blossom to the area farmers, who took off a great
day of fall harvesting to provide the “Queens of Cheese”
who were excellent ambassadors of agriculture. A BIG thank
you to our dairy farm families; Jeremy and Kelsi Mayer, Carli
Ritschards, Jeremy Davis, Dale Foster, Harry Lynch, Dorothy
and Matt Baxter. You are all a credit to our area’s
agriculture industry – keep milking!
