Transform Calving Outcomes with AI: Meet the Maternity Warden 

Suppose you reduce the dangers of calving and assure better results for calves and dams. Wouldn’t you seize the opportunity? This is precisely what the Maternity Warden System provides. Maternity Warden, which uses AI-powered computer vision technology, monitors close-up pens continuously and around the clock. The technology works passively, using complex algorithms to identify signals of impending calving and transmitting real-time notifications to dairy management. It’s like having a virtual assistant that never sleeps, always alert for any signs of trouble, and ready to alert you when action is needed.

Maternity Warden stands out for its potential to significantly prevent stillbirths and calving difficulties. According to farm statistics, up to 7% of calves die within the first 48 hours after birth, a figure that the AI-powered technology hopes to reduce. By sending out timely alerts, the Maternity Warden ensures that aid is accessible when required, allowing for prompt interventions that may save lives and lessen the danger of lasting harm to calving dams.

This cutting-edge technology does more than monitor; it proactively improves the maternal experience. It reduces the need for continual labor by setting timestamps for essential events and sending alarms only when required, assuring compliance with standard operating procedures while lowering labor expenses. The system’s objective monitoring helps to move calving cows to the correct area at the right time, decreasing problems and boosting the chances of a healthy delivery.

For more information about this groundbreaking technology, visit Maternity Warden in the Exhibit Hall, Booth #4425 & #4426. Explore further information and demos to fully understand how this method may change how you approach your farm’s maternity care.

Erica Makslaine: From Agricultural College to Dairy Photography Aficionado 

Erica Makslaine

Erica’s career in the dairy sector started in her teens at an agricultural institution, where she received practical experience via internships, first in animal handling at shows and then at local dairies. Her early exposure to the dairy farming industry ultimately lead her to discover a passion for photography.

Erica brought her camera to an event in Arapoti-PR in 2019, where she snapped some unplanned images of the cows. Little did she realize that this interest would turn into love until a cow owner asked for one of her high-resolution photos—this key event marked the beginning of her dairy photography profession. Today, she works with multiple farms to create engaging material for social media while capturing the spirit of bovine beauty via her camera.

Erica’s most memorable dairy photography memories capture the thrill and celebration as judges reveal the winners and recognize the hard work and pedigree that led to each accomplishment. Notable cows in her portfolio include Menge, who inspired her to photograph cows, and Ruivinha, Doorman’s sole EX-97 daughter. Her first trip to Madison and her capture of the world-famous Shakira and Footloose are memorable moments in her career.

Erica confronts a massive problem in exhibition photography: convincing people to realize the worth and creativity of her work. Many still see it as “just a photo,” not realizing the time, investment in equipment, and expertise necessary to create the ideal photograph that accentuates the animal’s most outstanding features. Despite these challenges, Erica continues to advocate for the value of cow photography in conserving and commemorating agricultural history.

Erica is excited about the approaching World Dairy Expo. Madison is particularly attracted to her because of the opportunity to shoot high-quality cows and the unusual barn views she enjoys photographing. She is looking forward to reconnecting with old acquaintances and meeting new ones in the active community of dairy photographers. For Erica, WDE 2024 offers professional development and personal fulfillment, embodying everything she enjoys about her job.

Her family’s herd, Sandyford Ayrshires, and her own Allstar Ayrshires have won awards at shows around the United Kingdom. She now resides in West Wales with her fiancé and works at Alta UK, helping farmers with breeding choices. Evie’s interest in cattle and photography started early. It was driven by her mentor, Claire Swale, who introduced her to show ring photography.

Evie’s most memorable experiences in photography include winning big at large dairy exhibitions in the UK and New Zealand. Their photography of the UK Dairy Show was particularly memorable when she saw her Ayrshire winning champion and the Wilson family’s Holstein grand champion. These moments capture the hard effort and devotion that go into each shot.

Show ring photography has its unique set of issues. For Evie, capturing every animal in its finest light is a basic rule. However, shows may run quicker than expected, making it a race against the clock to obtain the right photo. Despite the strain, her dedication to excellence is unshakeable.

Evie is grateful for the chance to attend the 2024 World Dairy Expo. She looks forward to shooting the excellent cattle, reuniting with old acquaintances, and meeting new ones.

Honoring Michael Heath: Prestigious Youth Fitting Award Debut at 2024 World Dairy Expo

Learn about the Michael Heath Overall Fitter Award at the 2024 World Dairy Expo. How will this tribute inspire future dairy generations?

Michael Heath, dairy industry figure, dairy community mentor, dairy business impact, fitting ability, sales manager, cattle showman, animal genetics expert, dairy exhibitions, cattle fairs, cow families, exceptional bulls, Michael Heath Overall Fitter Award, legacy in dairy, World Dairy Expo 2024, dairy traditions, community engagement, trust and camaraderie in dairy, aspiring young dairy professionals.

Michael Heath’s sudden death in the spring of 2023 was a profound loss to the dairy community. With his infectious enthusiasm and unwavering dedication, Heath was more than a familiar face at exhibits and fairs; he was a mentor, friend, and irreplaceable member of the dairy community. As we prepare for the 2024 World Dairy Expo, the Michael Heath Overall Fitter Award will be introduced, honoring not just excellence in fitting but also Heath’s unique culture of fellowship and mentoring.

Michael Heath: A Multifaceted Pillar of the Dairy Industry 

Michael Heath’s impact on the dairy business is broad and diverse. His progression through numerous roles—from fitter to sales manager, showman, and judge—established him as a community leader. Heath’s fitting ability was unsurpassed; he could make any animal into a showpiece, a talent both contemporaries and newcomers admired.

As a sales manager, Heath’s keen eye for quality and potential guaranteed that top-tier animals got new homes where they could thrive. His engaging presence at sales events increased engagement, created a feeling of community, and fueled enthusiasm. Heath infused every sale with a sense of potential and excitement, making each transaction seem like a victory for all parties involved.

Heath’s status as a showman was also crucial. His extensive knowledge of cattle and superb showmanship made him a frequent presence in winner’s circles throughout the country and the world. His understanding of animal genetics and pedigrees was famous; he recalled the animals and their ancestors, helping to build cow families and generate exceptional bulls.

Heath’s fair and wise judgments gained him significant recognition as a judge. He had an exceptional capacity to detect potential and quality, ensuring that the best animals were given the credit they deserved. Michael had a knack for making shows exciting to watch. From his creative reasons to his dramatic naming of champions, Michael left memories we will never forget.

Memories That Showcase True Mentorship 

One of my best recollections of Michael Heath is during a cold morning at the Ontario Spring Show. I was a new exhibitor, still learning to fit and present cattle. Michael greeted me with his typical warm grin and a sparkle in his eye, deftly converting a stressful situation into an opportunity. “Let’s see what you’ve got,” he remarked, examining my heifer. His critique was accurate and insightful, but his patience and genuine concern for my growth struck me the most. He made me feel that my efforts were essential to the industry, not just myself.

Another story that springs to memory occurred during the Paris Fair. Michael had a gift for detecting potential champions and focused on a novice exhibitor who had to control a boisterous calf. Instead of going by, he gave courteous, hands-on assistance. By the end of the day, the calf was strolling peacefully, and the young exhibitor had acquired new confidence and admiration for Michael.

These anecdotes glimpse Michael Heath’s profound impact on everyone he met. His ability to inspire and mentor, whether through casual conversation or more focused guidance, was unparalleled. His passing has left a void in the dairy community, but his legacy lives through the countless lives he touched and the traditions he helped establish.

Building Bridges: Michael Heath’s Unifying Influence on the Dairy Community

Heath’s impact on the dairy sector extended well beyond the confines of his farm. His many excursions to cattle exhibitions, fairs, and farms around the nation expanded his knowledge of cattle. They helped him build an unrivaled network of contacts. At national showcases such as Madison, Harrisburg, and Louisville, his appearance was not only expected but highly anticipated. Heath distinguished himself with his ability to memorize pedigrees and those who worked and developed them. This talent enabled him to build long-lasting bonds, making each contact meaningful and effective.

Furthermore, his trips were not only appearances. He made an impact wherever he went with his sharp eye for quality and extensive understanding of cattle genetics. It is hardly an exaggeration to suggest that Heath understood the genealogy of several herds better than some farmers. This astounding recollection was more than a party trick; it demonstrated his devotion and enthusiasm for the profession, as well as his genuine interest in the individuals who work with the animals.

His approachability and genuine interest created trust and camaraderie within the dairy community. Heath spanned industry and age boundaries by being both a friend and a coworker, affecting numerous lives. This personal connection was at the heart of his legacy, which continues to inspire and lead the community long after he died.

The Birth of a Lasting Tribute

Following Michael Heath’s tragic death in March 2023, the dairy community acted quickly to ensure his legacy was carried on. Heath’s friends and family recognized his enormous effect on the business.

A Legacy of Excellence: From 2023’s Triumphs to 2024’s Anticipation 

At the 2023 World Dairy Expo, there was a distinct sense of community and rivalry. Among the numerous highlights, Savannah Crack of Quebec received the Overall Top Fitter Award. This award highlighted her extraordinary abilities and was a moving homage to Michael Heath’s enduring legacy. She was given a $500 prize in Heath’s memory, which elegantly memorialized his commitment to youth and achievement in the dairy sector.

As we approach 2024, the anticipation grows. The Michael Heath Overall Fitter Award promises to be even more critical, with the best fitter earning $1,000, a commemorative plaque, and having their name inscribed on a forever medal. This forthcoming tournament will likely attract keen competitors, each motivated by Heath’s legacy and the chance to make history at the World Dairy Expo.

The Ultimate Showdown: North America’s Finest Compete for Supreme Champion 

The enthusiasm for the cow exhibition at the World Dairy Expo is considerable. Consider this: approximately 2,600 of North America’s best dairy cattle, gathered by over 1,800 exhibitors from 36 U.S. states and five Canadian provinces. It’s more than a competition; it’s a celebration of the finest in dairy genetics and a demonstration of dairy excellence.

The range and quality of cattle on the show are unparalleled, with seven exceptional breeds represented: Holstein, Jersey, Brown Swiss, Guernsey, Ayrshire, Milking Shorthorn, and Red & White. Each breed contributes distinct strengths and characteristics to the colorful shavings—a bright stage representing distinction and achievement in the dairy industry.

Resilience in the Face of Bird Flu: How WDE 2024 Ensures Safety Amid Challenges

Bird flu, also known as highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), is a serious concern this year, but it has not dampened the spirits of the World Dairy Expo attendees. This robust event is supported by extensive biosecurity precautions to guarantee its safety and success.

To begin, each entry must have a negative HPAI test result. This regulation is consistent with federal and state mandates from the USDA and Wisconsin’s Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection (DATCP). Attendees may breathe better now that these standards are in place.

Furthermore, coordination with health authorities encourages exhibitors to communicate closely with their veterinarians. Exhibitors verify that they fulfill their state’s testing criteria for arrival and return. WDE personnel worked extensively with health authorities to develop these guidelines so exhibitors would have clear instructions.

There are also options for late arrivals and early departures on the grounds, intended to assist exhibitors who travel considerable distances. This flexibility helps meet health certification requirements while protecting cattle welfare.

If the HPAI test at WDE is positive, all cattle will be placed under interim quarantine to enable Wisconsin DATCP to conduct a complete investigation. This precaution adds an extra degree of protection for both animals and guests.

These comprehensive biosecurity standards underscore WDE’s dedication to organizing a safe and secure event in harsh conditions, ensuring that the World Dairy Expo’s legacy lives on.

Cattle Entries Stable Forward Amid Bird Flu Concerns 

Cattle entries are constant despite avian flu worries that may cast a pall over the event. Laura Herschleb, WDE’s general manager, notes, “The dairy industry and dairy cattle exhibitors are resilient.” This year, they had to put their skills to the test when highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) emerged. However, it has done nothing to discourage participation. Cattle submissions have remained consistent with past years because of the passion and commitment of the participants to show off their finest. “Our exhibitors have been working hard to prepare their animals for this show,” Herschleb explains. Although statistics were still being completed in early September, early indicators imply that entry numbers would be comparable to those in 2023. Last year, 1,804 people from 36 states and five Canadian provinces showed off 2,597 animals. This resiliency demonstrates the dairy community’s dedication and enthusiasm. The famous colorful shavings will be brought back to life with approximately 2,600 animals parading before professional judges in seven breed events. Exhibitors and cattle from around North America prepare to participate, guaranteeing a breathtaking show of genetic superiority. WDE has put strict biosecurity procedures in place to safeguard everyone engaged’s safety. These include a negative HPAI test requirement that follows USDA and Wisconsin Department of Agriculture criteria.

Additionally, WDE accepts late arrivals and early departures to ensure seamless participation. Nothing can keep these dairy exhibitors away from Madison, Wisconsin, and the appeal of the World Dairy Exposition. “We know how important it is for the global dairy industry to meet yearly,” Herschel said. This endurance and the industry’s enduring spirit promise another outstanding edition of WDE.
