6th, 2010: Annual Meeting in Baraboo,
WI
|
| Queen |
| |
 |
The new WI Brown Swiss Queen for 2009 is Aubrey Kohls. Aubrey
is from Gillett, WI and currently owns three Brown Swiss.
They are kept at her dad’s farm, which is milking 225
Holsteins. She keeps track of registration and helps with
field work. She is a freshman at UW-Green Bay and majoring
in Social Work. In high school, Aubrey earned her State FFA
Degree, competed in dairy judging events, played volleyball
and was a member of jazz, concert, and marching band playing
the trumpet and French horn. She shows her Brown Swiss at
the County and State Fairs and the High Protein Show. The
Brown Swiss Queen should have a well-rounded understanding
of the breed as well as demonstrating enthusiasm and dedication.
She should be a role model for others but also a great communicator.
After all, the Queen is representing a breed along with the
people behind it.
2010 Wisconsin Brown Swiss Queen Application
Anyone interested in running for Queen at the 2010 annual meeting should complete and submit this application or contact Kara Kasten-Olson at 608-445-2010. |
