Wisconsin Holstein Association
District Shows
Thank you to all the show chairs and volunteers who helped make the 2020 District Shows a success. We had over 1100 head exhibited at all of the shows.
Results from the shows are in the archives below and photos from each of the shows can be found on our Facebook page.
The online entry system for District Shows will be open May 15. Click here for instructions on how to use the system.
**All exhibitors wishing to show at the Wisconsin Summer Championship Holstein Show must participate in a WHA District Show. This rule was waived last year due to COVID-19. Animals may be exhibited in the District in which they are housed or owned. For more information, see the full District Show Rules or contact the WHA office.
***New Rule for all WHA District & Championship Shows: For the safety of all exhibitors and to limit liability, no additional leadspeople will be allowed on any animal that enters the ring. If a youth is leading an animal, they must be able to control the animal on their own without an adult or older youth’s assistance. Appropriate assistance will be accommodated for those with disabilities. We ask that those needing assistance contact the WHA office at least 7 days prior to the show so accommodations can be met.
