The best part of the Holstein industry is the people.  Just some of the people that I ”hung out” with yesterday was “Willie” (Mrs. Pete) Burgeson that Holstein enthusiasts know as a principal of  the Tabur Holsteins establishment that was very well known in Arizona. For years they had page 9 ads in Holstein World.  I need to include the many great tales she told me in a book……also from Colorado, John and Jean Woodis, were along on the tour, as was Charles and Judy Iager of Maryland.  Jean was the first woman ever to analyze cows on the “Triple A” system of Bill Weeks.  At dinner last night I visited with Gary and Amy Blase in an interesting and in-depth discussion of cow families, dairy industry issues and their Gee-Aye  herd, which I admire and work with in advertising.  There are 38 people on this tour from Wisconsin to Alabama, and Maryland to Arizona.  If you listen, you will get informed and educated about our industry from one end of this nation to the other, and the best part is, you’ll form new friendships and reinforce existing ones…….
