WORLD DAIRY EXPO MADISON WISC USA

SUPREME CHAMMPION OVER ALL BREEDS

INDIAN ACRES PISTASHIO PIE

Sire: Four Winds Magicman

Indian Acres MM Pistachio Pie, a 5-year-old Guernsey cow was named the Supreme Champion cow over all breeds at the 2007 World Dairy Expo held October 2-6, Madison, Wisconsin, USA. In shows spanning five days, over 2,400 animals competed for the Grand Champion title in their respective breed before each of seven breed champions squared off to vie for the title of Supreme Champion. A Guernsey cow had not won the title since 1979. Pistachio Pie was also named Supreme Champion of the Junior Shows at World Dairy Expo, making her the only cow in the long history of the show to claim both titles. She had previously claimed the Supreme Champion title at the All-American Dairy Show in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, a show held two weeks prior to World Dairy Expo.
