Laurie Breuch of Stoughton is the latest staff addition to the World Dairy Expo crew.
Starting this month, Breuch will be serving as Dairy Cattle Show Coordinator. She
will assist with all aspects of the premier dairy cattle
show, including processing entries and organizing eight national and
international breed shows. Last year more than 2,400 animals and 743
exhibitors from 36 states and seven Canadian provinces took part in the
five-day show.
Breuch will also work with World Dairy Expo's for-profit subsidiary, WDE
Management, Inc., which oversees the Dane County Fair and provides
management services to the Wisconsin Rural Opportunities Foundation,
Inc. (WROF), North American Intercollegiate Dairy Challenge (NAIDC) and
Purebred Dairy Cattle Association (PDCA).
Breuch is a graduate of the Madison Junior College of Business, where
she majored in executive office administration. While working toward
her degree, she was employed for two years as an administrative
assistant at World Dairy Expo. Since 1995, she has worked at
Rehabilitation For Wisconsin, Inc. During that time, she has served as
an administrative assistant, management analyst and business systems
manager for Wisconsin's Rest Area Maintenance Program.
A native of Mount Horeb, Wisconsin, Breuch grew up working with her
family's Registered Holstein cattle at Lafollette Holsteins. She is an
active member of the Dane County and Wisconsin Holstein Associations,
having chaired several district shows and a state convention.
For the past 18 years, Breuch has taken a week's vacation to volunteer during
World Dairy Expo.
In addition to processing over 3,000 cattle entries
during the weeks prior to the show, she spends the week of the show
assisting with cattle check-in and inputting and double-checking show
results. She is also responsible for directing the set-up of the Friday
night World Classic Sale and helps orchestrate the Supreme Champion
Ceremony at the close of the show.
Breuch resides in Stoughton with her husband Willie and children Megan
and Zane.
