All right, what have we got to talk about? Well, we'll talk more World Dairy Expo.
We're going to talk Dairy Expo probably until Christmas with all the interviews I did.
and other folks that were exhibitors at World Dairy Expo, both in the show ring and in the exhibit hall.
They're going to do a big makeover down at the site of World Dairy Expo at the Alliant Energy Center.
That Coliseum has been around for a long time, and it's old, and they have problems with it.
They're going to put a new outside on it, and they're going to expand the meeting room space in different buildings.
Problem with where are they going to park all the trailers? They park those way up on the hill up there.
And World Dairy Expo, of course, Dairy Expo is the biggest event that they have down there.
And actually, a lot of junior national beef shows end up in Madison as well, because I know the Hereford show was down there, and I believe the Angus show's been down there before, too.
But it's sign of the times, right? More than 3,100 animals entered, but just over 2,400 showed up.
And I was in the barns talking to some people about that, and they said, well, I talked to some of my neighbors, and they said, just couldn't afford it to put that much diesel.
You know, some of these people come all the way across the country from either coast and pretty far up into western Canada as well, and a lot of them said they just couldn't justify spending that much money for diesel.
So, again, more than 3,100 animals were entered initially, but just over 2,400 showed up.
