🔺IMPORTANT INFORMATION🔺

Due to construction near Wisconsin State Fair Park, the normal Gate 9 entrance off 76th Street will be CLOSED. Trailers will need to enter Gate 1 on Greenfield Ave (where it crosses 79th St) and follow signs in the park to the Beef Expo Check-In. Gate 1 can be located online here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/eSBZBz7W4AuvqRTy5.

➡Arrival from the North or South:
Entering Milwaukee on I-43 (from the north), or along I-94W (from the south), follow I-94W, taking Exit 307A (68th -70th St), and follow W O’Conner St along the north side of I-94W to 76th St. Turn left (south) to Greenfield and turn right (west). Gate 1 will be on your right side at the intersection of Greenfield and 79th St.

➡Arrival from the West:
Follow I-94E and at the Zoo interchange (I-94/I-894/I-41), follow the signs for 84th St / Exit 306. At the lights, proceed straight through 84th St along W Kearney St and turn right (south) on 76th St. Follow 76th to Greenfield and turn right (west). Gate 1 will be on your right side at the intersection of Greenfield and 79th St.

It is recommended that you approach Gate 1 on Greenfield Ave from the East, so you do not have to turn across traffic with your trailer.

Peggy was an AMAZING woman, fair supporter and friend. She helped me so much when I was Fairest of the Fair many moons ago. Her legacy will live on in our hearts, our actions, and our Fair.

Cold temperatures have arrived. 🥶 These temperatures will cause a marked increase in your cattle’s feed needs. The general rule is, for every degree below 20 Fahrenheit, a cow’s energy requirements increase by about 1%. Likewise, for every degree below the average winter temperature, a 1 lb. increase in calf birth weight and ~2.5% increase in dystocia incidences can be expected based on a 6-year study from the University of Nebraska. Depending on an animals body condition score, cold stress effects will vary. With that in mind, use an integrated approach to reduce the cold’s impact on your herd and “layer her up” in preparation. Let’s talk strategies to do this, with some analogies for their effectiveness:

1️⃣ Windbreaks. For cattle, getting to a wind-protected area is like upgrading from an open station to a tractor with a cab for you while doing winter chores. Both permanent and temporary windbreaks are one of the most effective tools we have to protect cattle from cold stress.

2️⃣ Bedding. Cornstalks, straw, or other sources of bedding will insulate cattle from the frozen ground, keep haircoats more dry, and help cattle better regulate body temperature. Bedding for a cow is like the coveralls for you. Although the benefit of bedding is quantified less in cow-calf trials, feedlot trials have shown a significant, 20-40% maintenance requirement advantage for bedded steers compared to unbedded counterparts.

3️⃣ Feeding time. The rumen is a fermentation machine, and where there is fermentation, heat is produced. Peak heat of fermentation occurs 4-6 hours after the primary eating bout, meaning producers can feed late in the day to provide some extra heat during colder night temperatures. Doing this to warm cattle from the inside out is like having a hot cup of coffee for you.

While we can’t control Mother Nature, we can help cows combat cold stress by providing an integrated approach to control the impact cold temperatures have on our feed bill, calf birth weights, and cow comfort.
