Holstein Plaza - COVID-19 Update

As we monitor the rapidly evolving situation around coronavirus (COVID-19), we are making adjustments to continue to serve you, our clients, and prioritize the safety and well-being of our staff. With our auctions and sales being internet-based, we are continuing forward with normal operation. Our staff is working remotely from home and staying safe during this time of uncertainty. They can still be contacted using the information below and we encourage you to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

 

Steve is continuing to work out of the Hudson office as long as he is able to, keeping embryos and semen moving. This is also dependent on the status of UPS and FedEx operations. International shipments may see a delay due to a decreased number of flights available. Some countries may see larger delays due to the closure of their National Veterinary Departments and the inability to ship there at this time. In these cases, we will closely monitor the situation, communicate to the best of our ability and ship as soon as possible. 

 

Please reach out to one of our staff with any questions. We look forward to continuing to work with you during this time.

Message from Katie Schmitt, WDE Media Relations Specialist ..

World Dairy Expo is actively monitoring the ongoing public health risks associated with the COVID-19 global pandemic. Live events like Expo are in a particularly fluid state, with some future events continuing as planned and others facing cancellation or postponement.

At this time, WDE is moving ahead with plans for World Dairy Expo 2020 and has no intention of cancelling or postponing the show. However, the health, well-being and safety of exhibitors, attendees and volunteers are of the utmost importance and will guide our future decision making.

The Board of Directors and staff of World Dairy Expo will continue to monitor this ongoing global situation and will weigh all options for the 2020 show. Information provided by public health officials, healthcare professionals and industry experts will drive decisions in the months ahead.

Thank you for your ongoing support of World Dairy Expo as well as your continued engagement during this unprecedented time. Be well, and we’ll see you in Madison, Wisconsin, September 29 – October 3.
