General Manager/ Directrice générale, Jersey Canada

Different Countries, Different Rules Jersey Canada’s mission is “To develop the Jersey breed in Canada by maintaining the integrity of the herdbook and providing tools to increase profitability.” At Jersey Canada, “maintaining the integrity of the herdbook” means ensuring that all Jerseys recorded therein are properly identified, with correct parentage, birth dates and ownership. It also means ensuring the correct purity or percentage according to the Jersey Canada constitution. The pairing of genomic evaluations and social media means that learning about new and interesting pedigrees around the globe is happening faster than ever before. As a result, there is increasing interest in importing semen and embryos into Canada. But remember: not all Jersey bulls will qualify for the Jersey Canada herdbook. Only purebred bulls can be added to the Canadian herdbook. Different countries have different rules for registering Jerseys. For Jersey Canada, “All imported animals eligible for registration in Canada shall be subject to The Association’s rules for registration” (Article 19.5). This means that no matter what purity level an animal holds in another country, their status in Canada is based solely on Jersey Canada’s Rules of Eligibility for Registration. One key rule for registration in Canada is that “Properly identified Jersey males may be registered if they are considered purebred” (Article 20.3). That means that if a bull is not purebred by Jersey Canada’s standards, then he cannot be included in the Jersey Canada herdbook. For Jersey Canada, “The Association recognizes a purebred Jersey as any animal which is at least 31/32 (96.87%) registered Jersey” (Article 19). If the semen you are importing is not from a bull which is at least 96.87% by Jersey Canada’s standards, then any heifers resulting from that semen can only be recorded in Canada as base animals (0%). So, how do you know if a Jersey sire from another country will be considered purebred in Canada? Here is a good rule of thumb: 1. Look at SIX generations of the bull’s pedigree. 2. Every single male in the pedigree must be purebred. 3. If there are no 0% females in the pedigree sooner than the bull’s fifth dam, then the bull is purebred. Note: for Jersey Canada, a 0% or “base animal” is one which is sired by a purebred Jersey bull, and is from a dam of unknown parentage or a dam of another breed. The best way to know if a bull from another country will be considered purebred in Canada is to let us research the pedigree for you. Tell us the country, registration number, and name of the bull that interests you. Our registrar will research the pedigree and confirm whether or not he can be added to the Jersey Canada herdbook. Then there will be no surprises once calves are on the ground; you will already know if the calves can be registered as purebred Jerseys in Canada!  October - November 2014 Canadian Jersey Breeder

Différents pays, différents règlements La mission de Jersey Canada est de « développer la race Jersey au Canada en maintenant l’intégrité du livre de race et en fournissant les outils pour augmenter la profitabilité.» Chez Jersey Canada, « maintenir l’intégrité du livre de race » signifie que tous les animaux Jerseys qui y sont enregistrés sont correctement identifiés, avec des données de parenté, date de naissance et propriétaires exactes. Cela signifie aussi de s’assurer de la pureté ou du bon pourcentage de pureté selon la constitution de Jersey Canada. En combinant les informations provenant des évaluations génomiques et des médias sociaux, nous découvrons de nouvelles généalogies intéressantes de partout au monde plus rapidement que jamais auparavant. Il en résulte un intérêt croissant pour l’importation de semences et d’embryons au Canada. Mais, rappelez-vous : ce ne sont pas tous les taureaux Jerseys qui se qualifient pour le livre de race de Jersey Canada. Seuls les taureaux pur-sang peut être ajoutés au livre de race canadien. Différents pays ont différents règlements pour l’enregistrement des Jerseys. Chez Jersey Canada, « tous les animaux importés éligibles pour l’enregistrement au Canada seront assujettis aux règlements de l’Association lors de l’enregistrement » (Article 19.5). Ceci signifie que peu importe le niveau de pureté détenu par un animal dans un autre pays, leur niveau au Canada est basé seulement sur les règlements d’éligibilité pour l’enregistrement de Jersey Canada. Un règlement important pour l’enregistrement au Canada est que « les mâles Jerseys correctement identifiés peuvent être enregistrés s’ils sont considérés comme pur-sang » (Article 20.3). Ceci veut dire que si un taureau n’est pas pur-sang selon les normes de Jersey Canada, il ne peut pas être ajouté au livre de race de Jersey Canada. Pour Jersey Canada « l’Association reconnaît un Jersey pur-sang comme un animal qui est au moins à 31/32 (96,87 %) Jersey enregistré » (Article 19). Si la semence que vous importez ne provient pas d’un taureau qui est pur à au moins 96,87 % selon les normes de Jersey Canada, toutes génisses qui résulteraient de cette semence ne pourraient être qu’inscrites au Canada comme animal de base (0 %). Donc, comment savoir si un taureau Jersey d’un autre pays sera considéré pur-sang au Canada? Voici une règle générale: 1. Vérifiez SIX générations dans la généalogie du taureau. 2. Tous les mâles de la lignée doivent être pur-sang. 3. S’il n’y a aucune femelle à 0% dans la généalogie avant la cinquième génération, le taureau est alors pur sang. Notez que pour Jersey Canada, un 0 % ou un « animal de base » est un animal qui provient d’un taureau Jersey pur sang mais dont la mère est de descendance indéterminée ou est d’une autre race. La meilleure façon de savoir si un taureau d’un autre pays peut être considéré pur-sang au Canada est de nous laisser faire la recherche généalogique pour vous. Donnez-nous le pays, le numéro d’enregistrement et le nom du taureau qui vous intéresse. Notre registraire fera la recherche généalogique et confirmera si oui ou non ce taureau peut être ajouté au livre de race. Il n’y aura alors aucune surprise une fois les veaux arrivés – vous saurez déjà si ces veaux peuvent être enregistrés comme pur-sang au Canada!  7

A message from the by/par Mathieu Larose

President/Président, Jersey Canada

Taking Risks at the Right Time I love trading stories of good deals with breeders that took a chance. Be it the risk of investing in expensive embryos, the installation of a milking robot, or buying an impact cow for thousands of dollars – the type of decisions that take us out of our comfort zone. You know what I mean: big decisions! Within the history of each of our farms there are key moments that took us up a notch. Without becoming kamikazes, these risks are necessary for the financial health of our organizations - because in the long run, staying in one spot is really taking us backwards. In fact, a business decision is easy to make. You weigh the positives and the negatives that relate to the investment and available resources (financial and human). You then evaluate the gains versus the risks, while considering the worst case scenario, as well as assess ways to limit set backs. In my experience, the real problem with risk is not the risk itself but how the decision was made and the way it was planned and executed. In reality, it is difficult to make some decisions as emotion can get in the way. Say for example, that your neighbour makes an offer to buy one of your best cows ... a good producer and easy to milk - then you remember your teenager with their successful winnings from the fair with this animal when she was a heifer and the emotions take over. Here is how it might sound: “I have alot of embryos from this cow ... the price is fair ... she is on her 4th lactation ... but it is a really good cow ... Ahhh!” A lot of data needs to be analyzed before acting on what could be a good or bad decision. You have no choice as you have to be able to respond with either a ‘yes or no’ - there is an offer on the table! I use a simple trick when I want to reduce the risk of my decisions. I spend 20 to 30 minutes at the end of the work week considering all of my options and I reflect on the possible outcomes. You work hard but do you do it for the right reasons? Are your actions in-line with the long-term vision you have for your herd? It is not very scientific really, but the calculation is worth the effort. The saying, “Nothing ventured, nothing gained” is true in every aspect of your life. It is the comfort zone that, in the long run, becomes the risk zone. You are either a proactive planner, or you react and let the emotions rule the decisions. To all the new fans of the breed and to all the breeders that are at a crossroad: do not hesitate, invest in herds that have Jerseys. With inputs becoming more expensive (feed, energy, available labour) I am convinced that Jerseys are the solution in dairy production. Our Jerseys are productive, fertile, healthy and very profitable. It is the same for our industry. With the changes proposed by the federal government (a wider playing field for imported cheese and an amendment to the laws ruling the herdbooks) we have to have vision and be strategic. Rest assured that my colleagues and I on the Jersey Canada Board will make thoughtful decisions that are positive for the future of the Association and its members. Being or becoming a Jersey breeder is not a risk because we have a successful breed. The question should be: will you take the risk at the right time?  Mathieu Larose 8

Savoir prendre le risque au bon moment J’adore échanger de bonnes histoires, de beaux coups, avec des éleveurs qui ont pris des risques. Que ce soit d’avoir pris le risque d’investir dans des embryons à hauts prix, dans la mise en place d’un robot de traite, ou dans l’achat d’une vache d’impact de plusieurs milliers de dollars, il s’agit de décisions qui nous font sortir de notre zone de confort. Vous voyez ce que je veux dire : les grosses décisions! Dans l’histoire de toutes nos fermes, il y a des moments-clés qui ont permis à nos élevages d’aller un cran plus haut. Sans devenir kamikazes, ces risques sont nécessaires à la santé financière de nos organisations puisque faire du surplace équivaut à un recul sur le long terme. En fait, une décision d’affaires est simple à prendre : les points positifs versus les points négatifs en lien avec le coût ressources (financières et humaines) à investir. Ensuite, il y a l’évaluation des gains versus les risques, tout en gardant un œil sur le pire scénario relié à cette décision en cherchant à limiter les pertes. Selon mon expérience, la réelle problématique du risque n’est pas le risque en lui-même, mais plutôt la démarche adoptée dans la prise de décision et dans la réalisation de cette dernière. En effet, en réalité c’est la prise de décision qui est souvent difficile car l’émotivité vient prendre une large place. Par exemple, votre voisin vous fait une offre pour l’une de vos meilleures vaches … elle est une bonne productrice et elle est facile à la traite - puis vous revoyez votre ado gagner un jugement avec cette vache quand elle était génisse et voilà que les émotions prennent le dessus : « J’ai beaucoup d’embryons de cette dernière… le prix offert est honnête mais sans plus… elle en est à sa 4e lactation… mais c’est tellement une bonne vache… Ahhh! » Plusieurs données doivent être analysées avant de prendre la bonne ou la mauvaise décision. Vous n’aurez pas le choix, vous devrez vous lancer et répondre par un oui ou un non, puisqu’il y a une offre sur la table! Un truc simple que j’ai, pour réduire le risque dans mes prises de décisions, est d’effectuer des réflexions de 20 à 30 minutes sur les dernières semaines de travail. Vous travaillez fort : est-ce que vous le faites pour les bonnes raisons? Est-ce que vos actions sont en lien avec votre vision à long terme pour votre élevage? En fait, ce n’est rien de scientifique, juste le retour au vieil adage : le calcul vaut le travail. Il y a un proverbe qui dit : "Qui ne risque rien n’a rien." Quand on y pense c’est vrai dans toutes les sphères de notre vie : c’est la fameuse zone de confort qui, à long terme, devient la zone de risque. Soit qu’on est proactif et que l’on planifie, ou soit qu’on réagit et que l’émotivité monte en flèche lors des prises de décisions. À tous les nouveaux adeptes de la race ou à vous les éleveurs qui sont à la croisée des chemins : n’hésitez plus et faites l’investissement maintenant vers des troupeaux à forte concentration Jersey. Avec les entrants qui sont de plus en plus dispendieux (alimentation, énergie, disponibilité de la main-d’œuvre), je demeure convaincu que la Jersey est la solution en production laitière. Nos Jersey sont productives, fertiles, ont une santé plus résistante et surtout sont très rentables. Il en va de même pour notre industrie. Avec les changements que le gouvernement fédéral semble nous proposer (une plus grande ouverture aux fromages étrangers et une modification des lois régissant les livres généalogiques) nous devons être visionnaires et stratégiques. Soyez assurés que mes collègues du Conseil d’administration de Jersey Canada ainsi que moi-même prenons les décisions en fonction du futur de l’association et de ses membres. Mais en fait, être ou devenir un éleveur Jersey n’est pas un risque puisque nous avons une race prospère! La question est plutôt : prendrez-vous le risque au bon moment?  Mathieu Larose October - November 2014 Canadian Jersey Breeder

On THE ROAD Sur La Route by/par Jean Marc Pellerin

National Extension Agent/Conseiller national, Jersey Canada

Proof Proof, do you want proof? Can you handle the proof? Sounds like something Tom Cruise would say to Jack Nicholson. There is the Economic Analysis from the University of Guelph, there is the Greenhouse Gas Study, published in the Holstein International magazine, and other reports exist all clearly exposing the tremendous advantage the Jersey breed can offer compared to others. There are also private studies that give further proof of the economic advantage of Jerseys. Take a look at the table below. The numbers presented come from a management syndicate group - who in the past have been very hard on Jerseys. The data states that the $/kg of quota is the sum generated for each kg of quota produced. The average of the group, which are 95% Holstein herds, is around $3,500 with the top 20% at $4,085. In 2010, feed costs were significantly lower and the average was around $4,200. The conclusion … the more Jerseys you have, the more profitable you are. Margin FAT $/HL %

Another case that I am familiar with: a breeder with a smaller herd of 30 cows gained $11,000 more profit by switching to Jerseys, and that result predominately involved feed costs. Do Jerseys fill the bulk tank? No, they produce less volume but with a more concentrated product. It’s like comparing beer to vodka. Jerseys do more with less. The only place they will give you more is in your pockets. Do you still need more proof that Jerseys are gaining popularity? I recently got a phone call from Nunavit and the gentleman was asking for information about the breed. Can you imagine fresh ice cream straight from the cow! 

Des preuves Des preuves, vous en voulez des preuves? Pourrez-vous encaisser ces preuves? On dirait une phrase que Tom Cruise dirait à Jack Nicholson. Il existe l'analyse économique de l'Université de Guelph, il y a l'étude sur les gaz à effet de serre, publiée dans le Holstein International et d'autres rapports existent exposant clairement les énormes avantages que la race Jersey peut offrir, comparativement aux autres races. Il y a aussi des études privées qui donnent d’autres preuves de l'avantage économique des Jerseys. Jetez un œil au tableau cidessous. Les chiffres présentés sont issus d'un groupe de syndicat de gestion – et les syndicats de gestion, dans le passé, ont été très critique envers la race Jersey. Les données indiquent le $ / kg de quota et la somme générée pour chaque kg de quota produit. La moyenne du groupe, qui est composé à 95% de Holsteins, est d'environ 3500$ avec le top 20% à 4085$. En 2010, les coûts des aliments étaient significativement plus faibles et la moyenne était d'environ 4200$. La conclusion ... plus vous avez de Jerseys, plus vous êtes rentable. marge $/HL

Un autre cas que je connais : un éleveur avec un petit troupeau de 30 vaches gagnerait 11,000$ de plus en profit en passant à la Jersey, et c’est principalement dû aux coûts des aliments. Les Jerseys remplissent-elles le réservoir de lait? Non, elles produisent moins de volume, mais offrent un produit plus concentré. C'est comme comparer la bière à la vodka. Les Jerseys font plus avec moins. Le seul endroit où elles vous en donneront plus, c’est dans vos poches. Encore besoin de plus de preuves que les Jerseys gagnent en popularité? J'ai récemment reçu un appel téléphonique du Nunavit et le monsieur demandait des informations sur la race. Pouvez-vous imaginer? La crème glacée fraîche directement de la vache! 

First off, I would like to start by thanking everyone for making me feel welcome during my short time at Jersey Canada. I truly loved every single moment and it’s all thanks to our wonderful members! As I depart and take on this new opportunity, I wanted to take a minute and share a few things from the registrar’s desk that can make your life a little easier. Here are my top By/par Emilie Belage five tips for a smooth registry experience! 1] Transfers, transfers, transfers! You have no idea how important transfers are when it comes to registering calves. Please send those in (remember to include the date on the back of the form) - and yes - we require the original transfer mailed to the office. 2] Insemination Dates & Comments AI dates are very important as well. Was the cow bred multiple times? Was it to different sires? You can leave ‘comments’ when you are completing online registrations, or write them down on the hardcopy. 3] Testing For ET calves, the dam MUST be DNA tested before the flush can be recorded. Send the flush reports to the office and we will store this information until it is ready to be used. If you registered a cow over 18 months of age you will require DNA testing. If they are not tested, their progeny cannot be registered either. 4] Embryo ID Identification is critical. Whether it’s a straw number or a donor dam tag, this is very helpful information when the registration is being processed. 5] Foreign Bulls Is your favourite bull eligible for the Canadian herdbook? Give the office a quick call to verify eligibility. Otherwise you might end up with 0% recorded calves. These tips may seem obvious to some of you, but it never hurts to be reminded. And remember, if you have any questions or concerns the Jersey Canada office is just a phone call away. Once again, thank you! I gained a tremendous amount of knowledge about the Jersey cow and there is no doubt that this insight will benefit me in the future.  Emilie 12

Premièrement, j’aimerais d’abord remercier tout le monde pour leur accueil pendant mon court séjour chez Jersey Canada. J’ai vraiment aimé chaque minute et c’est grâce à nos merveilleux membres! Sur mon départ vers de nouvelles opportunités, j’aimerais prendre un moment pour partager quelques conseils de la part du registraire pour rendre votre vie un peu plus facile. Voici mes cinq points les plus importants pour une expérience d’enregistrement facile! 1] Transferts, transferts, transferts! Vous n’aurez jamais idée de l’importance des transferts lorsqu’il est question d’enregistrer les veaux. Veuillez les envoyer (rappelez-vous d’inclure la date sur l’endos du formulaire) – et oui – il faut que le transfert original nous soit envoyé par la poste. 2] Dates d’insémination et commentaires Les dates d’IA sont également très importantes. Est-ce que la vache a été saillie plus d’une fois? Avec de différents taureaux? Vous pouvez ajouter des ‘commentaires’ lorsque vous complétez les enregistrements de façon électronique ou écrivez-les sur la copie papier. 3] Testing Pour les veaux TE, la mère DOIT avoir été testée pour l’ADN avant la récolte pour que celle-ci soit inscrite. Envoyez le rapport de récolte au bureau et nous garderons cette information jusqu’à son utilisation. Si vous enregistrez une vache de plus de 18 mois, vous aurez besoin d’un test d’ADN. Si elle n’est pas testée, sa progéniture ne pourra pas être enregistrée non plus. 4] Identification d’embryons L’identification est critique. Que ce soit par un numéro de paille ou l’étiquette de la mère donneuse, cette information est très utile lorsque l’enregistrement est fait. 5] Taureaux étrangers Est-ce que votre taureau préféré est éligible pour le livre de race canadien? Appelez au bureau pour vérifier son éligibilité. Autrement, vous vous retrouverez peut-être avec des veaux inscrits à 0 %. Ces informations peuvent sembler évidentes pour certains, mais il est toujours bon de faire un rappel. Et souvenez-vous : si vous avez des questions ou des inquiétudes, le bureau de Jersey Canada vous attend au bout du fil. Encore une fois, merci! J’ai acquis un énorme bagage de connaissances au sujet de la vache Jersey et il ne fait aucun doute que cette information me sera bénéfique dans l’avenir.  Emilie October - November 2014 Canadian Jersey Breeder

Jersey Island: the birth of the Jersey breed Submitted by Robert and April Jarrell of RJ Farms

A typical view of the roads on Jersey Island.

It has been 35 years ago since we last visited Jersey Island when we chose Jersey Island as our 'honeymoon destination'. (Yes, we looked at cows on our honeymoon!) The purpose of our trip this time was rather different than our visit in 1979. Bob was invited to judge the Royal Jersey Agricultural and Horticultural Society (RJA&HS) Spring Show which was held at the Royal Jersey Show grounds in Trinity on Saturday, June 14th and Sunday June 15th. On Saturday, approximately 60 cows paraded around the outdoor ring as the crowded ringside looked on to witness Bob and April Jarrell present trophies to the Udders of the Grand Champion: Elite Bob’s choices for champions of the 'InGrand and Reserve Champions on behalf of RJ Farms Action Agnetta 2 ET (left) and Reserve Milk Cattle Show'.

International Perspective

Six years ago, a 250-year ban on importing cow genetics on to the island of Jersey came to an end. Jersey Island Facts: • The Island of Jersey, that gave birth to the Jersey breed, measures nine by five miles; • There are 24 dairy farms ranging in size from three to 280 cows; • All first lactation heifers on the island have to undergo compulsory classification scoring by Holstein UK.. Performance changes since the introduction of international genetics: • A three-point increase in overall type score between 2011 and 2013 (77 to 80); • The greatest improvements have been in dairy strength and udder traits; • A 15-20% increase in yields across first cross heifers; • 2008 average production was approximately 5,000 litres/cow/year and is now rapidly increasing to 6,000 litres; • Improvement in butterfat; • A 33% improvement in somatic cell counts on Danish-sired Jerseys.

We also visited 'The Underground German Hospital' (as it was known in 1979) which is now known as 'The Jersey War Tunnels'. During World War Two, Jersey was occupied by Germany from July 1940 to May 1945. Over a kilometre of underground tunnels exist that were dug out by a workforce of hundreds of forced and slave labourers of the war. It was well known that many acts of horror had taken place there during the five years of German occupation. We were overcome with gratitude for all our blessings in our 'free world' as well as an overwhelming compassion for all those who were forced to dig that tunnel that we had just passed through. There have been many changes since we last visited Jersey Island 35 years ago. When we visited Jersey in 1979, many of the smaller farms 'tethered' their cows - not so much anymore. Many of the houses were attached to the barn, some still are, but the larger herds are a distance from the house. In the mid 70’s, there were about 450 farmers in Jersey with an average herd size of 20 (30 cows would have been a large herd). Now there are 23 herds with an average of 50-60 cows and about 15 herds that are over 200 cows (only a few herds less than the average of 50). In 2008, Jersey Island took the historic step of ending the 200 year ban on imports by allowing bull semen into the Island. With the influence of international genetics, production (including milk, fat & protein) and type, the Jersey Island cow has improved since the importation of semen. Some of the Jersey breeders from the Island have visited other countries (mostly Canada and the US) in search of excellence, to incorporate what they have learned into their own herd. Our final stop before returning home was in London, England, to visit The Queen’s Herd. The herd’s prefix is 'Windsor'. The herdsman, 14

Andrew, has been there for over 22 years and has seen many changes in that time. They have periodically milked up to 200 cows. Andrew says the somatic cell count went down considerably when they introduced robots. Prince Charles was keen on the technology and it was his idea to go to robots. He visits the farm frequently and it is not unusual for the Queen to stop in on horseback to watch the cows being milked. The Jerseys have 150 acres in the 'Home Park' that is owned by the Queen. In the 1970’s to 1992, they used New Zealand breeding. After using bulls such as Bright Spot, Silver Jay, J Imperial, Juno and a little Grove Gemini, the herd changed immensely. Then they added a little bit of Danish blood along with North American genetics and used bulls such as Big Show, Valentino, Tequila, Topica, Excitation, Sultan, Lester, Sambo, Paramount and Iatola. The Queen also has the biggest Sussex herd (an Old English breed) in the world of 300 cows. They have pigs on another farm, 10,000 acres of parkland, and keep sheep on contracted land. We were given a personal tour of the rest of the farm by Andrew and we were especially intrigued by the old original dairy where they made their own dairy products. We were instructed not to take any photos so we can’t share that experience. Thank you Andrew for the personal guided tour! It was a great second honeymoon and we were overwhelmed by the hospitality shown to us by the Jersey Breeders and the RJA&HS. Bob wishes to thank the RJA&HS for inviting him to judge the Spring Island Show. It was an honour for him! Thank you again Derrick and Ian for taking us around the Island. We were treated like royalty! Sincerely,

Bob & April

International Perspective

JETA Recipients

The President and Council of the World Jersey Cattle Bureau are pleased to announce the recipients of the 2014 Jersey Educational Travel Award (JETA) which sponsored five young farmers to attend the 20th International Conference of the WJCB in South Africa in 2014. A record number of over 20 outstanding applications were received from the five regions of the Bureau: Africa, Europe, South America, North America and Oceania. James Godfrey, Secretary of the WJCB said “The selection committee were very impressed with the young people coming forward for the programme and faced a very difficult decision selecting these five worthy winners from what was an exceptional list of applicants”.

The winners are: Arno Theron, from South Africa, in the African region. Arno

grew up on a dairy farm with Holstein cows and wanted to milk his own cows from the age of 14. He introduced Jerseys to the family farm ‘to distinguish his own cows in the herd’ and in his own words “What a good choice that proved to be. After 5 years the Holsteins were sold and the whole farm turned to Jerseys”. Arno is now milking 145 Jerseys on his own account on leased land in KwaZulu Natal, he is Vice Chairman of the Natal Jersey Cattle Club and active in the show ring. Martin Schuler, from Switzerland in the European region. Martin grew up on his father’s dairy farm where they kept Brown Swiss cows, however during his agricultural studies he was fascinated to learn of the superiority of the Jersey breed and was determined, with his father, to bring the Jersey breed to Switzerland. This they have done and are now the largest Jersey herd in the country. Martin took over the business from his father in 2013 and now milks 200 Jerseys with plans to increase to 300 by the end of 2014. He also is one of the founding organisers of the “SwissJerseyNight” which has become the largest Jersey show in the country and does much to promote the breed. Martin has some very interesting and specific breeding aims with his herd which delegates will find fascinating. Vanessa Ruiz, from Costa Rica in the South American region. Vanessa is a Veterinary Surgeon currently working for the Jersey Cattle Association of Costa Rica. As well as being involved in promoting the Jersey breed in the country, where there has been a growth of 38% in Jersey cattle registrations as a result of Vanessa’s work, she has also been involved with the national programme to control Brucellosis (Brucella abortus) and Bovine Tuberculosis (Mycobacterium bovis). Brian Barlass, from the USA in the North American region. A graduate of Cornell University, Brian is a partner in Barlass Jerseys and the fourth generation of the Barlass family to breed Jersey cattle. They now milk 350 Jerseys off some 1,200 acres of land in Wisconsin. Plans are in hand to expand the herd by another 200 milkers and further develop the production of elite genetics with a particular focus on the use of genomics to “improve the genetic base of our herd, thus developing high end females and males to market”. Jane Sykes, from Australia in the Oceania region. Jane gained an Honours degree in Agricultural Science from the University of Tasmania, and after working in the dairy feed industry has returned to the family farm. At home Jane is actively involved with the family’s 600 milking pedigree Jerseys and has judged at a number of shows. Jane is passionate about the future of the dairy industry and is currently involved with a national programme called ‘Developing Dairy Leaders’. 18

About South Africa Located on the southernmost tip of the continent of Africa, South Africa is 1.2 Million square kilometers of natural beauty, diverse culture, and exotic wildlife. South Africa has a population of 51.8 Million people, and there are 11 official languages in the country including Afrikaans, English, Xhosa, and Zulu. The Atlantic and Indian Oceans border along 3000 km of coastline to create a moderating effect on the climate. Average temperature and rainfall varies widely across South Africa. The average rainfall for the country is 450 mm per year (compare that to Ottawa’s annual total precipitation of 943 mm). Cape Town, South Africa’s capital city located in Western Cape province, experiences winter rainfall from April to September, with a very dry, arid summer. Other provinces in South Africa enjoy summer rainfall and a dry winter. Cape Town’s average summer temperature is 26C for the high, and 16C for the low. During the winter months, the average daily high reaches 18C, and average low of 7C. These pleasant temperatures are due largely to Cape Town’s high altitude. Agriculture accounts for just 3% of South Africa’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), but represents 7% of the country’s formal employment. Twelve per cent of South Africa’s land base is used for crop production, with 1.3 Million hectares of cropland under irrigation. Availability of water is a constant limiting factor to all aspects of agriculture in South Africa.

De l'Afrique du Sud Située à la pointe la plus au sud du continent africain, l’Afrique du Sud c’est 1,2 millions de kilomètres carrés de beauté naturelle, de diversité culturelle et de faune exotique. La population de l’Afrique du Sud est de 51,8 millions de personnes et il y a 11 langues officielles au pays dont l'afrikaans, l’anglais, le xhosa et le zoulou. Les océans Atlantique et Indien bordent 3000 km de côtes pour créer un effet modérateur sur le climat. Les températures moyennes et la fréquence des pluies varient beaucoup en Afrique du Sud. La quantité moyenne de pluie pour le pays est de 450 mm par année (comparativement à la précipitation moyenne annuelle pour Ottawa qui est de 943 mm). La capitale de l’Afrique du Sud, Cape Town, située dans la province de Western Cape, connaît des pluies en hiver, d’avril à septembre, mais a un été très sec et aride. Les autres provinces de l’Afrique du Sud ont de la pluie en été et un hiver sec. La température moyenne en été à Cape Town se situe entre 26 C et 16 C. Au cours des mois d’hiver, la température moyenne pendant la journée atteint 18 C et descend en moyenne jusqu’à 7 C. Ces températures plaisantes sont principalement dues à l’altitude élevée de Cape Town. L’agriculture ne compte que pour seulement 3 % du produit intérieur brut (PIB) de l’Afrique du Sud, mais représente 7 % des emplois formels du pays. Douze pourcent du terrain de l’Afrique du Sud est utilisé pour les cultures et environ 1,3 millions d’hectares sont irrigués. La disponibilité de l’eau est un facteur limitant constant dans tous les aspects de l’agriculture de l’Afrique du Sud. October - November 2014 Canadian Jersey Breeder

There is however a low rate African dairy farmers. of enrolment on formal milk recording (44% of herds and 65% of animals are presently on test). An area of concern for the Jersey industry in South Africa is the steady increase of inbreeding for the overall Jersey population. Just eight ancestors explain half of the genetic population, including Duncan, Beretta, and Chocolate Soldier. The high rate of inbreeding is dramatically restricting the genetic diversity of the South African Jersey population, and is the highest of all dairy breeds in the country. As a result, the dairy industry is looking to genomic technology as a tool for managing genetic relatedness 60-stall rotary parlour at Cineraria Jerseys and inbreeding in the national Jersey herd.

Ce qui inquiète l’industrie Jersey en Afrique du Sud est l’augmentation constante de consanguinité du cheptel Jersey. Seuls huit ancêtres sont responsables de la moitié de la population génétique dont Duncan, Beretta et Chocolate Soldier. Le haut taux de consanguinité restreint dramatiquement la diversité génétique du cheptel Jersey sud-africain et c’est la race laitière la plus importante au pays. C’est pourquoi l’industrie laitière étudie la technologie génomique comme un outil pour gérer le retard génétique et la consanguinité dans le cheptel Jersey national.

CDN Update August 2014

Steps to Reduce Bias in Genetic and Genomic Evaluations

Mise à jour CDN

Août 2014

Mesures pour réduire les biais dans les évaluations génétiques et génomiques

Authors/Auteurs: Lynsay Beavers & Brian Van Doormaal

Two new adjustments for bias have now been implemented by CDN, resulting in more accurate genetic and genomic evaluations for Canadian dairy producers. For bulls, an adjustment based on the percentage of daughters resulting from embryo transfer targets sires that were not randomly used in Canada and the expected preferential treatment of their daughters. Improving the accuracy of progeny proofs for these bulls has an important impact on reducing bias in genomic evaluations of their sons and daughters. For cows, the new methodology reduces the impact of preferential treatment on their resulting genetic evaluations, which also improves the accuracy of Parent Averages of their sons and daughters. 

CDN a maintenant mis en application deux nouveaux ajustements visant à réduire les biais, ce qui a entraîné des évaluations génétiques et génomiques plus précises pour les producteurs laitiers canadiens. Dans le cas des taureaux, un ajustement basé sur le pourcentage de filles issues du transfert embryonnaire vise les taureaux qui n’ont pas été utilisés aléatoirement au Canada et le traitement préférentiel prévu de leurs filles. L’amélioration de la précision des épreuves de ces taureaux a une incidence importante sur la réduction des biais dans les évaluations génomiques de leurs fils et de leurs filles. Pour ce qui est des vaches, la nouvelle méthodologie réduit l’impact du traitement préférentiel sur leurs évaluations génétiques, ce qui améliore aussi la précision des Moyennes de parents de leurs fils et de leurs filles. 

Inbreeding Update

Mise à jour sur la Consanguinité

Each year, based on official animal registration and pedigree information within its database, Canadian Dairy Network (CDN) computes current statistics related to the level of inbreeding within the Canadian cow population of each dairy breed. In this way, the average level of inbreeding for animals born in the most recent complete calendar year as well as trends in the level of inbreeding over time can easily be monitored. The following table is based on animals born since 1970 up to and including registered animals born in 2013.

Chaque année, selon les enregistrements d’animaux et ’information généalogique officielle dans sa base de données, le Réseau laitier canadien (CDN) effectue le calcul des statistiques récentes associées au niveau de la consanguinité dans la population de vaches canadiennes de chaque race laitière. De cette façon, le niveau moyen de consanguinité pour les animaux nés au cours de l’année civile complétée la plus récente ainsi que les tendances de changement du niveau de consanguinité au fil du temps peuvent être facilement surveillés. Le tableau suivant est basé sur les animaux nés au cours des années depuis 1970 jusqu’à et incluant les animaux enregistrés qui sont nés en 2013.

Among the four major dairy breeds in Canada, all have an average inbreeding level between 6.00% (Jersey) and 6.76% (Brown Swiss) for heifers born in 2013. The Ayrshire breed has well controlled the rate of increase in inbreeding from 2000 to 2010 with an average change of -.02 percentage points per year. In this regard, Jersey and Holstein are also doing reasonably well at +.06% and +.07% per year, respectively. More recently, however, the Jersey trend has been quite stable whereas all other breeds are experiencing a steady increase for animals born since 2010. Among the breeds with the smallest populations in Canada, Canadienne continues to have the highest average inbreeding, now at 8.75% for females born in 2013. Guernsey heifers born in 2013 average 7.36% inbreeding and the average rate of increase during the past few years has also been relatively high at +.19% per year. For Milking Shorthorn, heifers born in 2013 average 2.60% inbreeding based on available pedigree data for the breed but the rate of increase has been slowly on the rise over the past two years.  October - November 2014 Canadian Jersey Breeder

Parmi les quatre principales races laitières au Canada, toutes affichent un niveau de consanguinité moyen se situant entre 6,00 % (Jersey) et 6,76 % (Suisse Brune) pour les génisses nées en 2013. La race Ayrshire a bien contrôlé le taux d’augmentation de la consanguinité de 2000 à 2010 avec un changement moyen de -,02 points de pourcentage par année. À cet égard, les races Jersey et Holstein s’en tirent relativement bien avec +,06 % et +,07 % par année, respectivement. Plus récemment, la tendance Jersey a toutefois été assez stable alors que les autres races ont toutes eu une augmentation constante pour les génisses nées depuis 2010. Parmi les races qui possèdent les plus petites populations au Canada, la race Canadienne continue d’afficher la consanguinité moyenne la plus élevée, maintenant à 8,75 % pour les femelles nées en 2013. Les génisses Guernsey nées en 2013 présentent une consanguinité moyenne de 7,36 % et le taux moyen d’augmentation au cours des dernières années a aussi été relativement élevé à +,19 % par année. Dans la race Shorthorn laitière, les génisses nées en 2013 affichent une consanguinité moyenne de 2,60 % basée sur les données généalogiques disponibles pour la race, mais le taux ’augmentation a réalisé une hausse graduelle les deux dernières années.  27

Results of the 2014 Rapid Bay Youth Judging Contest "My official placing is B, D, A, C with cuts being 1 3 1. I’m starting off the class with B as I feel she has the best udder in the class today with an extremely high, wide and strong rear udder attachment and excellent definition of median suspensory ligament. I also prefer her size and shape of teat and the actual teat placement over the other cows in the class. B uses her strong mammary system to place over D in addition to being cleaner up through her head and neck and showing more angularity and cleanliness over her ribs when compared to D. D over A as D is a more capacious cow showing more depth of fore and rear rib and width through her pins while also having a fore udder attachment that blends more smoothly into the body wall. A over C as A has a higher and wider rear udder attachment and is cleaner up through her head and neck but I do grant an advantage to C on having a stronger fore udder attachment. These are my reasons for placing this class.Thank you for the opportunity to judge the Rapid Bay Youth Judging Contest."

Two Millk Testers and a

Herdsman Creating

the

Grobrook Partnership

Grobrook Farms is co-owned and managed by two unrelated parties. Nick and Trudy Groot and Jos Heinsbroek entered into the partnership in 1986, and in 1994 the farm was incorporated. Jos is half owner and has been the day-to-day manager of this 160 ‘allJersey’ registered herd since he gave up his off farm job in 1990. Nick, after 32 years as a Regional Manager with CanWest Dairy Herd Improvement (DHI), recently retired in April 2014. For the past 20+ years, Trudy has been committed to doing most of the milkings. The overall management however, is shared equally as the Groot’s and Jos each bring their strengths to the operation. The partners feel fortunate for this arrangement and have enjoyed every other weekend off with the exception of busy times of the year where everyone pitches in. Two part-time weekend milkers are also employed at the farm. Although Nick and Trudy’s three children may no longer work on the farm on a daily basis, they contribute where needed. Eldest son Nicholas Groot, now 25, is an electrician and looks after the farms electrical needs. 23-year-old Wes Groot is a farm mechanic at Sunova Equipment and oversees the tractor maintenance. Youngest daughter Mary Groot has some daily chores, but this will end as she begins on her post secondary education in nursing at McMaster University in Hamilton. The Groot boys also assist in a pinch or when help is needed with cropping. From the very beginning, the Jersey cow fit the Grobrook business model. Feed efficient, pasture friendly, heat tolerant, small frame to fit older tie-stalls, and a good use of quota (as payment was based on fat differential back then). “Today, we love them because of their character, aggressiveness, high fertility and feed efficiency,” states Nick, “although we are paid well for our milk, they are not as efficient in quota utilization with our current milk marketing system.” The ‘solids-not-fat’ (SNF) ratio cap implemented in August 2013 by Dairy Farmers of Ontario was a tremendous help, and perhaps milk isolate development will solve this. “Jerseys shine in the USA and in other countries where open marketing exists,” mentions Nick, “so long-term I am not worried about the Jersey cow.” The dairy is set up with 72 free-stalls and 23 tie-ups (for special needs, fresh and dry cows). The six stall step-up parlour can milk about 40 cows an hour. Oppose to a tie-stall where you would have close cow contact, this parlour style works for Grobrook as the cow steps up 12 inches and there isn’t as much bending. When it comes to technology, Dairy Comp is the software of choice for superior herd management. Three MSExcel spreadsheets are also October - November 2014 Canadian Jersey Breeder

used for budgeting and project planning, inventory tracking (i.e. hay bales, straw, baleage), and a Dairy Farmers of Ontario (DFO) shipment spreadsheet helps track cow production (litres, fat, protein yield) on every pickup for the year. Grobrook’s ideology is to plan long-term and ensure their cattle are marketable to any type of order. For the past 14 years, they have held a closed herd. Whether it is supplying cattle to a startup farmer, filling a Mexican/American order, or supplying house cows to local neighbours and old order Mennonites - they want to ensure the herd is healthy and free of disease. “We used the DHI Milk ELISA Johnes and Leukosis tests from day-one to control the impact on our profitability and we quit buying cattle,” comments Nick, “we now have ELISA tested free status and minimal Leukosis, which we hope to weed out using bio-secure management practices.” As part of the Johne’s Education and Management program, Grobrook’s calf care centers around the Risk Assessment and Management Plan (RAMP) guidelines. “We use an old water tank to contain the new born calf with the mother until dried off,” notes Jos, “and from there the calf is fed fresh or thawed colostrum.” Although calves are housed in individual pens, coronavirus continues to be a challenge at 10-14 days. “When this occurs, we put the animal on straight water with good electrolytes and most get back to milk in 2-3 days,” claims Jos, “and we seldom lose calves from scours.” The cattle are fed a baleage and corn silage TMR, along with added soyameal, roasted beans, dry ground corn and chopped hay. To top-up the requirements of the herd, a Kenpal premix and Lacta-Fat is added to the ration for optimum feed energy and nutritional benefit. When the herd is grazing, baleage is removed and chopped hay is increased to maintain fiber and fat levels. For feed accountability, inventory bales are recorded in weight at harvest using a scale connected to the hydraulics on the loader. A monthly herd health check-up is maintained by their veterinarian. Grobrook works with custom operators for all of the field work. They currently plant their own new seeding, rake their own hay and recently purchased a used grain drill, as they will be expanding their cropping operation. Next year, 85 more acres of land will be added to their present 85 acres, where they plan to grow a diverse range of crops. “Our thinking is to grow 50-60 acres of grain, and that opens the door to more double cropping of cover crops like cereal rye, oats, Italian rye for heifer feed, and better rotations of corn, beans and alfalfa,“ comments Nick. 31

Farm Profile

Nick and Trudy Groot met as milk testers and were married in 1986. That was also the year when the Grobrook Farms partnership was established with herdsman Jos Heinsbroek.

Grobrook’s reasons for pasturing:

Nick grew up on a Holstein farm and is not afraid to say that "no matter what the breed, good cows are good cows - some are just a better 'fit' than others in a given situation."

• Cow health – exercise is good for the cows feet and a grass diet is healthy for the rumen; • Feed costs – high protein, high digestible forage lowers the costs of supplements; • Reduce barn work – seems like once cows go out, there are less barn chores to do – feeding and manure cleanup goes much quicker; • Public perception – everyone, including other farmers, likes to see their animals outside. Nick’s retirement transition couldn’t have come at a better time. idea that he liked, he was able to assess if it might be a good fit Grobrook has about a dozen projects on the list and milking 65-70 for the Grobrook farm.

JD is a bacterial infection that causes abnormal thickening of the lining of the intestinal tract in infected animals, restricting the absorption of nutrients. It is spread through the shedding of the bacteria in manure, which can contaminate feed or water, and also can be transmitted to calves through colostrum from infected cows. Clinical symptoms include long lasting diarrhea and extreme weight loss despite maintaining some appetite. The impact on the herd includes reduced milk production, increased involuntary culling, loss of heifer sales and reduced beef production. In Canada, research suggests that 15-30% of herds contain animals infected with JD. (Source: http://www.canwestdhi.com/pdf_files/johnes%20disease%20 in%20cattle.pdf) In the U.S. it is estimated that 8% of beef herds and 68% of dairy herds contain at least one animal infected with MAP. (Source: http://www.johnes.org/ general/faqs.html) There are three types of tests available: Fecal Culture using a fresh manure sample; Serum ELISA using a blood sample; and Milk ELISA using a milk sample. Leukosis Leukosis (Bovine Leukosis Virus), is a blood borne viral infection which can cause tumours in the lymph nodes, uterus, heart, abomasums, spleen, kidneys and brain. The disease is spread by transfer of blood cells from infected animals via such sources as re-use of contaminated equipment, colostrum and waste milk, and transmission to the calf before it is born. Clinical symptoms caused by resulting tumors include weight loss, decreased milk production and immobility. Impact on the herd includes reduced milk production in infected cows and condemned meat at slaughter, as well as the potential costs associated with lost marketing opportunities such as the sale of replacement stock, bulls to AI, or embryos to domestic and international markets. Benefits of Using the Milk ELISA (Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay) Tests: • It is efficient and convenient. The routine DHI milk sample collected for butterfat, protein, SCC and MUN can also be used for testing of Johne's and/or Leukosis. • Producers do not incur any additional costs for collection or delivery of fecal or blood samples. • Producers can elect to test the whole herd, part of the herd or selected animals. • Results are available in two to three days and can be delivered by mail, fax or email. • A copy of the test results are also sent to the herd veterinarian.

La maladie de Johne's (JD) prononcée « Yoh-nis » JD est causé par la bactérie Mycobacterium avium, sous-espèce de paratuberculoses (MAP), un parent distant de la bactérie qui cause la tuberculose. JD est une infection bactérienne qui cause un épaississement anormal de la couche interne du tract intestinal dans les animaux infectés, ce qui restreint l'absorption des nutriments. Elle se propage par les bactéries expulsées dans les excréments qui peuvent contaminer les aliments ou l'eau. Elle peut aussi être transmise aux veaux par le colostrum de vaches infectées. Les symptômes cliniques comprennent une diarrhée qui perdure et une perte de poids extrême malgré un bon appétit. L'impact sur le troupeau inclut une production de lait réduite, une augmentation de réforme involontaire, la perte de ventes de génisses et une production réduite de boeuf. Au Canada, la recherche suggère que de 15-30 % des troupeaux contiennent des animaux infectés par JD. (Source: http://www.canwestdhi.com/pdf_files/ johnes%20disease%20in%20cattle.pdf) Aux É.-U., on estime que 8 % des troupeaux de boeuf et 68 % des troupeaux laitiers contiennent au moins un animal infecté avec la MAP. (Source: http://www.johnes.org/general/faqs.html) Trois tests de dépistage sont disponibles: Une culture fécale utilisant du fumier frais; Serum ELISA utilisant un échantillon de sang; Milk ELISA utilisant un échantillon de lait. Leucose La leucose (Virus de leucose bovine), est une infection naissant dans le sang qui peut causer des tumeurs aux nodules lymphatiques, à l'utérus, au coeur, à l'abomasum, à la rate, aux reins et au cerveau. La maladie se propage par le transfert de cellules sanguines provenant des animaux infectés par des sources comme de l'équipement contaminé, du colostrum et de mauvais lait ainsi que par la transmission au veau avant sa naissance. Les symptômes cliniques causés par les tumeurs qui en résultent incluent une perte de poids, une baisse de la production de lait et l'immobilité. L'impact sur le troupeau inclut une production réduite de lait chez les vaches infectées et une viande rejetée à l'abattoir ainsi que les coûts potentiels associés à la perte d'opportunités de marketing comme la vente d'animaux de remplacement, de taureaux aux centres d'IA ou d'embryons sur les marchés locaux ou internationaux. L'avantage d'utiliser le test Milk ELISA (Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay): • Il est efficace et pratique. L'échantillon de routine recueilli par le DHI pour le gras, la protéine, le SCC et MUN peut aussi être utilisé pour effectuer le test de Johne's et/ou de leucose. • Aucuns frais additionnel pour le producteur pour la collecte et la livraison d'échantillons de sang ou de matières fécales. • Les producteurs peuvent choisir de tester tout le troupeau, une partie du troupeau ou certains animaux choisis. • Les résultats sont disponibles en deux ou trois jours et peuvent vous être envoyés par la poste, par télécopieur ou courriel. • Une copie des résultats est également envoyée au vétérinaire du troupeau.

Deux contrôleurs laitiers et un gérant de troupeau ont créé le partenariat Grobrook Grobrook Farms Ltd.

entrevue avec Grobrook Farms Une

Grobrook Farms est appartenu et géré par deux partis non apparentés. Nick & Trudy Groot ainsi que Jos Heinsbroek ont formé un partenariat en 1986 et, en 1994, la ferme fut incorporée. Jos est propriétaire de la moitié de la ferme et est le gérant des opérations quotidiennes de ce troupeau 'tout Jersey' de 160 têtes depuis qu'il a laissé son emploi à l'extérieur de la ferme en 1990. Nick, après 32 ans comme Gérant régional chez CanWest Dairy Herd Improvement (DHI) a pris sa retraite en avril 2014. Depuis plus de 20 ans, Trudy est responsable de la plupart des traites. La gérance générale, par contre, est partagée également car les Groot et Jos apportent chacun leurs forces à l'entreprise. Les partenaires se trouvent chanceux d'avoir un tel arrangement et ont pu profiter d'une fin de semaine de congé sur deux, sauf pendant les temps très occupés de l'année où tous font leur part. Deux employés à temps partiel viennent également faire la traite pendant la fin de semaine. Même si les trois enfants de Nick et Trudy ne travaillent plus à la ferme chaque jour, ils font leur part lorsque nécessaire. L'aîné, Nicholas, a maintenant 25 ans. Il est électricien et s'occupe des besoins électriques de la ferme. Le second, Wes, 23 ans, est mécanicien agricole pour Sunova Equipment et s'occupe de l'entretien des tracteurs. La cadette, Mary, a quelques tâches quotidiennes mais quittera bientôt pour l'université McMaster à Hamilton où elle poursuivra ses études post-secondaires en sciences infirmières. Les fils Groot aident également au besoin et lors des récoltes. Depuis le tout début, la vache Jersey était au coeur du plan d'affaires Grobrook. Efficacité alimentaire, bonne au pâturage, tolérante à la chaleur, petite taille pour les vieilles stalles entravées, bon usage du quota (parce que le paiement était basé sur un différentiel de gras à l'époque). « Aujourd'hui, nous les aimons à cause de leur tempérament, leur agressivité, leur grande fertilité et leur efficacité alimentaire » dit Nick. « Même si nous sommes bien payés pour notre lait, elles ne sont pas aussi efficace dans l'utilisation du quota avec le système actuel de mise en marché du lait. » Le plafond du ratio 'solides-non-gras' (SNG) implanté en août 2013 par le Dairy Farmers of Ontario a beaucoup aidé et peut-être que le développement des isolats laitiers aideront. « Les Jerseys sont October - November 2014 Canadian Jersey Breeder

populaires aux É.-U. et dans d'autres pays où le marché libre existe» mentionne Nick. « Donc, à long terme, je ne suis pas inquiet pour la vache Jersey. » La ferme comprend 72 places en stabulation libre et 23 stalles attachées (pour les besoins spéciaux, les vaches fraîches ou taries). Le salon de traite surélevé à six places peut traire environ 40 vaches à l'heure. Contrairement aux stalles attachées où vous avez un contact de près avec la vache, ce style de salon est apprécié chez Grobrook car les vaches montent de 12 pouces ce qui réduit le besoin de se pencher. Lorsqu'il est question de technologie, Dairy Comp est le logiciel de choix pour une gestion du troupeau supérieure. Trois chiffriers MSExcel sont aussi utilisés pour le budget et la planification de projet, la gestion de l'inventaire (i.e. balles de foin, de paille, d'ensilage) et le Dairy Farmers of Ontario (DFO) qui aide à compiler la production des vaches (litres, gras, protéine) chaque fois que le lait est ramassé. L'idéologie de Grobrook et de planifier à long terme et de s'assurer que leur bêtes puissent être vendues, peu importe la demande. Au cours des 14 dernières années, ils ont eu un troupeau fermé. Que ce soit de fournir des animaux à un débutant, de combler une commande mexicaine/américaine ou pour fournir des vaches pour leurs voisins ou les anciens Mennonites, ils veulent s'assurer que leur troupeau est en santé et sans maladie. « Nous utilisons les tests laitiers ELISA du DHI pour Johne’s et Leucose dès la 1e journée pour limiter l'impact sur notre rentabilité et nous avons cessé d'acheté des animaux. » dit Nick. « Nous sommes maintenant confirmés sans ELISA et seulement Leucose minimale, ce que nous tentons d'enrayer en utilisant des mesures de gestion bio-sécuritaires. » Dans le cadre du programme d'éducation et de gestion de Johne's, le soin des veaux chez Grobrook se concentre sur la Plan de gestion et d'évaluation des risques (PGER). « Nous utilisons un vieux réservoir à eau pour contenir le veau naissant avec la mère jusqu'à ce qu'il soit sec » note Jos. « Ensuite, le veau est nourri de colostrum frais ou décongelé. » Même si les veaux sont logés dans des parcs individuels, coronavirus est encore un défi entre 10 et 14 jours. « Lorsque ça se produit, nous alimentons l'animal avec de l'eau et de bons électrolytes et nous retournons au lait 2-3 jours après » dit Jos. « Nous perdons rarement des veaux à cause de la diarrhée. » 35

Profil agricole Nick et Trudy Groot se sont rencontrés lorsqu’ils étaient contrôleurs laitiers et se sont mariés en 1986. C’est également l’année où le partenariat Grobrook Farms a été formé avec le gérant de troupeau, Jos Heinsbroek. Nick a grandi sur une ferme Holstein et n’a pas peur de dire que « peu importe la race, de bonnes vaches, c’est des bonnes vaches. Certaines sont parfois plus appropriées que Pourquoi les vaches de Grobrook vont au pâturage : d’autres dans différentes situations. » • Santé – l’exercice et bon pour les pieds des vaches et un régime d’herbe est bénéfique pour le rumen; • Coûts des aliments – du fourrage haut en protéine et hautement digestible diminue le coût des suppléments; • Réduire le travail à l’étable – il semble que, une fois les vaches à l’extérieur, il y a moins de tâches à faire à l’étable – l’alimentation et le nettoyage du fumier sont beaucoup rapides; • Perception du public – tout le monde, même les autres éleveurs, aiment voir les animaux à l’extérieur.

Grobrook's advice to the next generation? “If dairy is your passion, don't wait to jump in. Consider starting small or partnering with an existing farmer. Hard work and patience (lots of patience, as young people are use to instant results) and let time take its course. Invest in your herd and quota and rent everything else. Incorporate ASAP to reduce your tax load and keep buying quota. Look after your cows and keep your herd in the top 75% in all management areas.” Les conseils de Grobrook pour la prochaine génération? « Si l’industrie laitière est votre passion, n’attendez pas pour vous lancer. Considérez commencer petit ou en partenariat avec un producteur existant. Du travail acharné et de la patience (beaucoup de patience car les jeunes sont souvent habitués à des résultats instantanés) et laissez le temps accomplir son oeuvre. Investissez dans votre troupeau et dans le quota mais louez tout le reste. Incorporez-vous aussitôt que possible pour réduire votre fardeau fiscal et continuez à acheter du quota. Occupez vous de vos vaches et gardez votre troupeau dans la tranche de 75 % du haut de toutes les sphères de la gestion. »

Way-Bon Cou

Hometown Sires

A New Approach To Sire Selection In 2010, Neil and Melanie Hunter of Hometown Jerseys sold their first bull to AI, Hometown On The Money, son of Way-Bon Counciller Mystery SUP EX 95-5E 3*. ‘On The Money’ was designed with the same philosophy that Hometown Sires is based on … finding bulls who’s daughters EXCEL in long-term production, competing at the feedbunk in a freestall/TMR environment, while also possessing the ability to adapt to a hay/balage/grain diet and have enough ‘general appearance’ to compete nationally in the showring. High scored ‘Proven Cow Families’ are paramount to ensure the selection of a great ‘all-around bull’ who emphasizes a particular set of traits without ‘throwing the baby out with the bathwater’. With new genomic technology emerging in the Jersey breed, Neil and Melanie decided to capitalize and purchase some high genomic females with attractive ‘general appearance’ who were from deep, high scoring cow families. This led to the purchase of cows such as Gabys Artist Ambrosia EX-92 (then the #1 JPI cow in the US), Gabys Blair Aruba VG-87 3*, Gabys Action Baby EX-91, Schultz Mygent Chilli-P EX-90 and Huronia Connectn Crystalyn SUP EX 95-3E. Several key matings to both ‘genomic’ and ‘type’ sires were made on most of these cows to achieve a more balanced and unique group of Young Sires whose dams had proven their production capabilities in Hometown’s Canadian herd. Along with producing their own Young Sires, Neil and Melanie continued to search for young bulls to fit the North American Jersey semen market. The results have uncovered several exciting Young Sires who were simply ‘overlooked’ by traditional AI organizations due to narrow ‘highest genomics at all costs’ selection criteria. Some of those genotyped bulls that Hometown has added to its lineup include: Golden Topeka DRAGON – A plus milk bull with high components, high type, an exceptional +7.52 JUI who is backed by two generations of EX-95 and EX-92 All Canadian Nominated dams with high testing, award winning milk records.

Ahlem Fastrack PATRIOT – He has an impressive +215 JPI and one of the highest Gabys Artist Ambrosia Gaby's A health trait bulls in the US. PATRIOT also is backed by three generations of cows scored VG-87 or higher who all bred back every 12 months in a 4000 cow commercially operated dairy. His pedigree contains no Impuls, Maid or Violet. Pleasant Nook WR Tequilas VENOM ET and Pleasant Nook WR HG VENUE – These brothers are extremely high type sires and are one of the few sources of exceptional Huronia feet and legs in Canada. Their dam ‘Vogue’ is Schultz Mygent Chilli-P the highest LPI On-Time daughter in Canada and was Intermediate Champion RAWF 2013. Arethusa VIRTUOSO – Excitation could be the best cross for the infamous Veronica to-date, yet this bull was found as a ‘jump bull’ breeding heifers in Minnesota after not being selected by traditional AI. Distribution has grown rapidly throughout North America and recently to international Arethusa Virtuoso ET Hometow markets using a combination of great ‘cowpeople’ as on-farm salespeople and sending dry shippers directly to clients. During this growth, two comments from breeders keep spurring Neil and Melanie on …. “How did AI miss this bull?” and “I hadn’t seen a Young Sire I wanted to use in a long time”. In 2014, Hometown became a member of the Canadian Dairy Network (CDN). Now, all Hometown Sires bulls will receive a publishable Canadian proof. “Hometown Our next bull to release in Sires believes in the trend that genomics point to, when compared to parent average, but do not let ourselves be defined by a particular Upcoming st GLPI level,” states Neil Hunter, “in addition, we Release think that the full CDN proof will support our opinion that the ‘high scoring’, long-term cow families, offer a consistency of breeding that *Kash-In Shootoutgenetic researchers are still trying to better Highest JPI polled Jersey bull in t define with their proving models.” 253 GJPI, 4.62 JUI, 749 CM$, 5.0 PL, 0.4 DPR, 2.86 SCS, To support a growing interest in their bulls, +1146 lb M, +88lb F, +50lb P (USDA: GPTA 09/14) Hometown Jerseys has recently launched a His Dam new website: www.hometownjerseys.ca.

Ex-90

En 2010, Neil et Melanie Hunter, de Hometown Jerseys, ont vendu leur premier taureau pour l’IA: Hometown On The Money, fils de Way-Bon Counciller Mystery SUP EX 95-5E 3*. ‘On The Money’ avait été créé avec la même philosophie qui gouverne Hometown Sires … trouver des taureaux dont les filles EXCELLERONT dans la production à long terme, seront compétitives à la mangeoire dans une stabulation libre avec RTM tout en possédant la capacité de s’adapter à une ration foin/ensilage/ grain et avoir assez de ‘conformation générale’ pour être compétitives au ‘niveau national’ dans l’arène d’exposition. Des ‘Familles de vaches éprouvées’ à haut score sont essentielles pour s’assurer d’une sélection d’un grand taureau ‘général’ qui met de l’emphase sur certains traits sans ‘tout mettre ses oeufs dans le même panier’. Avec l’émergence de la technologie génomique dans la race Jersey, Neil et Melanie ont décidé d’investir et d’acheter des femelles à haut indice génomique et une ‘apparence générale’ agréable, provenant de familles de vaches solides avec de bons scores. Ceci a permis l’achat de vaches telles que Gabys Artist Ambrosia EX-92 (alors la vache #1 IPJ aux É.-U.), Gabys Blair Aruba TB-87 3*, Gabys Action Baby EX-91, Schultz Mygent Chilli-P EX-90 et Huronia Connectn Crystalyn SUP EX 95-3E. Plusieurs accouplements clés tant avec des taureaux ‘génomiques’ que de ‘conformation’ ont été faits sur la plupart de ces vaches pour atteindre un groupe équilibré unique de Jeunes Taureaux dont les mères ont prouvé leurs capacités de reproduction dans le troupeau canadien de Hometown. En plus de produire leurs propres Jeunes Taureaux, Neil et Melanie continuent de rechercher de jeunes taureaux qui plairaient au marché nord américain de semence Jersey. Ils ont dont découvert plusieurs Jeunes Taureaux excitants qui avaient été ‘ignorés’ par les compagnies d’IA traditionnelles à cause du critère de sélection étroit de ‘haute génomique à tout prix.’ Voici quelques taureaux génotypés que Hometown a ajouté à sa liste : Golden Topeka DRAGON – Un taureau positif en lait avec de hautes composantes, une haute conformation, un +7,52 JUI exceptionnel qui est soutenu par deux générations de mères candidates au Tout Canadien EX-95 et EX-92 qui ont de très bons dossiers de production de lait leur ayant valu des prix.

Ahlem Fastrack PATRIOT – Il a un IPJ impressionnant de +215 IPJ et un des meilleurs traits de santé chez les taureaux aux É.-U. PATRIOT est aussi soutenu par trois générations de vaches ayant obtenu un score de TB-87 ou mieux qui ont vêlé à chaque 12 mois dans un troupeau commercial de plus de 4000 vaches. Sa généalogie ne comprend ni Impuls, ni Maid, ni Violet. Pleasant Nook WR Tequilas VENOM ET et Pleasant Nook WR HG VENUE – Ces frères sont des taureaux avec une conformation extrêmement élevée et font partie des rares sources de pieds et membres exceptionnels au Canada. Leur mère, ‘Vogue,’ est la fille de On-Time ayant le plus haut IPV au Canada et fut Championne Intermédiaire de la RAWF en 2013. Arethusa VIRTUOSO – Excitation pourrait être le meilleur croisement pour la fameuse Veronica à ce jour; pourtant on a trouvé ce taureau qui servait de ‘taureau de monte naturelle’ pour les génisses au Minnesota après qu’il eu été rejeté par les centre d’IA traditionnels. La distribution s’est accrue rapidement en Amérique du nord et récemment vers les marchés internationaux grâce à une combinaison de bon ‘connaisseurs de vaches’ comme vendeurs à la ferme ainsi qu’en envoyant des contenants directement aux clients. Lors de cette croissance deux commentaires provenant des éleveurs continuaient à encourager Neil et Melanie ... « Comment se fait-il que l’IA a manqué ce taureau?» et « Je n’ai pas vu depuis longtemps de Jeune Taureau que je voulais utiliser. » En 2014, Hometown est devenu membre du Réseau laitier canadien (CDN). Maintenant, tous les taureaux de Hometown Sires recevront une épreuve canadienne publiable. « Hometown Sires croit la tendance indiquée par la génomique, comparativement à la moyenne parentale, mais nous ne nous définissons pas par un niveau particulier d’IPVG » dit Neil Hunter. « En plus, nous pensons que l’épreuve complète du CDN supportera notre opinion que les ‘hauts scores’ et les familles de vaches à long terme, offrent une consistance d’élevage que les chercheurs génétiques sont toujours en train d’essayer de mieux définir avec leurs modèles d’épreuves. » Pour supporter l’intérêt grandissant pour leurs taureaux, Hometown Jerseys a récemment lancé un nouveau site internet: www.hometownjerseys.ca.

By Lee Morey

Jersey West Association

A man that contains many strengths And hides away the few weaknesses that he can still overcome He needs not of recognition or thanks For that he contributes his all to the world he's from A true man A real man From the gloomy frosty mornings To the bright dawns of warmth There's one man awake before the world A farmer, eager to start the day He works in the sun till his back is done And works in the cold till he can't feel his toes Life and death fazes him not For he witnesses it everyday The death of a loved family member that lives in the barn Should tear him apart in everyway But the tears are held back to keep his strength Strength to continue with the day He's a different man With the mind of a scholar And body like a warrior He is rough and tough And as gentle as a sunset He is a greater man His hands show his hardship Calluses and scrapes But without this he could not have success But a new born child feels safe In these broken beat hands For there is warmth and love that no scars can hide He walks into a restaurant in dusty old pants And the suited men look down in disgust But they don't realize what he has done He has done all their jobs today, plus some But does this man deserve the best? He deserves much better, and respect He sweats the day away in order to plant his crops And spends his evening fixing his breaks In order to raise up the golden fields That will seal this year's fate To provide the world with energy yields That will help grow it to a healthy state

He tips down his hat to shade its eyes While he drives his old Ram down the dusty roads Covered by the mysterious sky Awaiting for the secrets that the crops have stowed Hoping for the best That they look like the heavens have blessed He's a can-do-it-all man Because he had to learn And is in fact the real superman He is viewed as a hero From the future young farmer A man, impossible to fail Sure he's known as an old timer Living a simple life But he's much more than that He uses the most advanced technology That most of society would be lost And without this he would be far from lost He's a rich man Wealth beyond belief Maybe he can't buy a limo But he's rich where it matters At home with his world His own world of agriculture 365 Those are his working days May sound horrible? But that's lucky. Luckier than you can say Because he's his own boss And can schedule his own day He's a man of greatness A man of unknown He has worked so hard And has so much to see He is a farmer Lee Morey, Youth Supreme Champion All the man I want to be at the 2014 Calgary Stampede Lee Morey of Rochester, Alberta submitted this poem and was the recipient of the RAM Scholarship on the topic of: "What does being a farmer mean to you?". Lee is an agribusiness student at Lakeland College and has plans to pursue 'auctioneering' in June. He hopes to return to the family farm at some point while sidelining as a livestock auctioneer.

Congratulations ~ Félicitations

Jenna Elliot

Jersey Canada Youth Scholarships  Bourses d’Étude de Jersey Canada

Jenna Elliot, from Corunna, Ontario currently attends the University of Windsor in the field of nursing and is one of the recipients of the Jersey Canada Youth Scholarship. Jenna is described as being a positive, selfless, compassionate, and confident individual. She chose the path of nursing with the goal of making a difference to improve people’s lives. “Becoming a nurse is more than just a job to me. It is about building strong relationships with all my patients, caring for what matters to them, listening to them when no one else will, and advocating for their right’s and needs,” says Jenna. She attributes her character to growing up on a dairy farm and participating in 4-H. “Events and competitions have taught me to be confident in myself, ensure that my cows are fed and comfortable, and help other 4-H members when they need my assistance or guidance,” comments Jenna. Jerseys have been part of Jenna’s life from a very young age and she has chosen the Jersey breed to be her 4-H project for the last ten years - and has placed very well with her animals. “The work ethic that I was able to develop through 4-H has helped me succeed in school, work, and my everyday life,” comments Jenna, “it made me realize that I am able to accomplish anything if I work hard at it.” As part of Team Ontario’s Judging Team, 4-H has also benefitted Jenna with enriched experiences at the World Dairy Expo. “This trip allowed me to gain more confidence in my judging capabilities as well as improve my decision making and public speaking skills,” states Jenna. Jenna’s future personal and career goals include a family, the family farm (prefix: Mixin Moos), and nursing. “Since I was a young girl I knew that my life would never be without cows and everyday I look forward to working in the barn and caring for our cows,” notes Jenna, “once I own the farm I would love to renovate and expand the cow barn slightly, maybe add another twelve stalls to milk forty cows, install new rubber mats to improve cow comfort, and build a new heifer/dry cow barn that would allow for larger more comfortable pens.” Jenna would also like to continue to breed stylish show cows that would compete at The Royal and World Dairy Expo. Outside of the dairy industry, Jenna’s community involvement includes fundraising for various charities. She has also volunteered at a nursing home assisting residents with eating and weekly activities. In high school, Jenna played competitive badminton and was also given the Coonan Award and Ontario Principal Council Award exemplifying outstanding leadership. Please join Jersey Canada and congratulate Jenna on her wonderful accomplishments.  Jenna Elliot, de Corunna, Ontario étudie présentement à l’Université de Windsor en sciences infirmières et est l’une des récipiendaires de la Bourse d’études jeunesse de Jersey Canada. On décrit Jenna comme étant une personne positive, altruiste, empathique et confiante. Elle a choisi les sciences infirmières dans le but de faire une différence et d’améliorer la vie des gens. « Être infirmière est plus qu’un emploi pour moi. C’est créer des relations solides avec tous mes patients, m’occuper de ce qui est important pour eux, les écouter lorsque personne d’autre ne le fera et défendre leurs droits et leurs besoins » dit Jenna. Elle soutient que c’est en grandissant sur une ferme et en participant au club 4-H qu’elle a développé son caractère. « Les activités et les compétitions m’ont appris à avoir confiance en moi, à m’assurer que mes vaches soient nourries et confortables ainsi qu’à aider les autres membres 4-H lorsqu’ils avaient besoin d’aide ou de conseils » raconte Jenna. Les Jerseys font partie de la vie de Jenna depuis son plus jeune âge et elle a choisi la race Jersey comme projet 4-H au cours des 10 dernières années – et elle a bien réussi avec ses animaux. « L’éthique de travail que j’ai pu développer avec le 4-H m’a aidé à réussir à l’école, au travail et dans ma vie de tous les jours » dit Jenna. « Ça m’a fait réaliser que je suis capable d’accomplir n’importe quoi si je travaille fort. » Comme membre de l’Équipe de jugement de l’Ontario, Jenna a pu faire l’expérience de la World Dairy Expo avec le 4-H. « Ce voyage m’a permis d’acquérir encore plus de confiance dans mes habiletés de jugement et m’a aidé à améliorer ma prise de décision et mes qualités d’orateur public » affirme Jenna. Les plans d’avenir de Jenna sur le plan personnel et professionnel comprennent une famille, la ferme familiale (préfixe : Mixin Moos) et les sciences infirmières. « Depuis que je suis toute petite, je savais que ma vie comprendrait toujours des vaches et j’ai toujours hâte de retourner à l’étable et prendre soin de nos vaches » dit Jenna. « Une fois que la ferme sera à moi, j’aimerais rénover et agrandir légèrement l’étable des vaches, peut-être ajouter une autre douzaine de stalles pour traire quarante vaches, installer de nouveaux tapis de caoutchouc pour améliorer le confort des vaches et construire une nouvelle étable pour les taures et les vaches taries avec des parcs plus grands et plus confortables. » Jenna aimerait aussi continuer à élever des vaches d’expositions gracieuses qui pourraient participer à la Royal et la World Dairy Expo. En plus de l’industrie laitière, Jenna participe à la vie de sa communauté auprès de plusieurs oeuvres charitables. Elle fait également du bénévolat dans un centre de santé de longue durée en aidant les résidants lors des repas ou des activités. À l’école secondaire, Jenna jouait dans l’équipe compétitive de badminton et a reçu le prix Coonan et le Prix du Ontario Principal Council pour son leadership exceptionnel. Joignez-vous à Jersey Canada pour féliciter Jenna pour tous ses accomplissements.  Youth of Distinction: Deadline: January 31, 2015 This award is presented at the Jersey Canada Annual Meeting to youth aged 18 to 25 years of age who are involved with the Jersey breed in Canada.

Sarah Mason

Sarah Mason from Woodstock, Ontario is also a recipient of this year’s Jersey Canada Youth Scholarship. Sarah has completed her first year at the University of Guelph’s Ridgetown Campus studying agriculture. Sarah appreciates the practical hands-on and solid academic education that Ridgetown has to offer. In addition to deepening her knowledge of the dairy industry, she wants to learn more about the other avenues of agriculture such as crops and livestock management systems. “Ridgetown is also a place for networking amongst my peers, which allows me to be surrounded by the next generation of people in the AG community,” says Sarah, “and the knowledge I have gained will be an invaluable set of assets that will lead to multiple career choices.” Sarah has been actively involved in the family farm (prefix: Morningmist) regarding cow management, herd health and breeding decisions. She has shown dairy cattle for 4-H projects and at various events for many years. While broadening her interest of the Jersey breed, she enjoys touring other farms, attending dairy symposiums and volunteering as a leadsperson at the Ontario Invitational Sale. “As I expand more on these areas, I will be able to bring more to the table when we are making decisions at the farm,” believes Sarah. Although she has not yet nailed down an exact career path, she states that it will definitely be within the dairy industry. “Since the AG industry is so vast and growing rapidly, I have great confidence that whichever line of work I choose I will have a very successful career,” claims Sarah. After completing her 4-H career, Sarah plans to give back to this organization that has given her so much. She aspires to become a 4-H leader and work with youth to nurture the next generation of dairy farmers. “4-H and Junior Farmers has given me copious amounts of personal development, leadership, and education,” mentions Sarah. Beyond the dairy industry, Sarah enjoys travelling, the outdoors, gardening, raising her small flock of sheep, and loves spending time with her friends and family. She has a keen interest in niche agricultural markets such as beekeeping and organic vegetables. As Oxford County’s Queen of the Furrow, Sarah will also be visiting plowing matches and fall fairs. The future of farming shows great possibilities with compassionate students like Sarah in the picture. Congratulations!  Sarah Mason de Woodstock, Ontario reçoit aussi cette année une Bourse d’études jeunesse de Jersey Canada. Sarah a complété sa première année au campus de Ridgetown de l’Université de Guelph en agriculture. Sarah apprécie la formation pratique et académique offerte par Ridgetown. En plus d’approfondir ses connaissances de l’industrie laitière, elle voudrait en apprendre plus sur d’autres secteurs de l’agriculture comme les grandes cultures et les systèmes de régie du bétail. « Ridgetown est également un endroit pour rencontrer mes pairs ce qui me permets de m’entourer de la prochaine génération de la communauté agricole » dit Sarah. « En plus, les connaissances que j’ai acquises sont inestimables et mèneront à plusieurs choix de carrières. » Sarah est active au sein de la ferme familiale (préfixe: Morningmist) surtout dans la régie des vaches, la santé du troupeau et les décisions d’accouplement. Elle a exposé des animaux laitiers pour des projets 4-H et lors de plusieurs événements au fil des ans. Tout en élargissant son intérêt pour la race Jersey, elle aime visiter d’autres fermes, assister à des conférences laitières et se porter volontaire pour présenter les animaux lors de la Vente Ontario Invitational. « Comme j’en apprends de plus en plus dans ces domaines, je pourrai participer plus activement lors de la prise de décisions à la ferme » croit Sarah. Même si elle ne sait pas exactement ce qu’elle choisira comme carrière, elle affirme que ce sera définitivement dans l’industrie laitière. « Comme l’industrie agricole est si vaste et croît si rapidement, j’ai bonne confiance que peu importe le travail que je choisirai, je pourrai connaître le succès » déclare Sarah. Après avoir complété sa carrière 4-H, Sarah redonne au mouvement qui lui a tant apporté. Elle espère devenir leader 4-H et travailler avec les jeunes pour encourager la prochaine génération de producteurs laitiers. « Le 4-H et les Junior Farmers m’ont permis de me développer personnellement, m’ont apporté leadership et éducation » mentionne Sarah. En dehors de l’industrie laitière, Sarah aime voyager, la nature, le jardinage et élever son petit troupeau de moutons. Elle adore passer du temps entre amis et en famille. Elle a un intérêt marqué pour les marchés agricoles de niche comme l’apiculture et les légumes biologiques. En tant que Reine des labours du comté de Oxford, Sarah a la chance de visiter les concours de labours et les foires d’automne. L’avenir de l’agriculture démontre de grandes possibilités avec des étudiants comme Sarah. Félicitations! 

Melyssa Sargent

Royal Jersey Ambassador  Ambassadeur Royale Jersey

Melyssa Sargent is a grade 12 student from Enniskillen, Ontario and part of Enniskillen Jerseys. Jerseys are Melyssa’s breed of choice as they are good tempered, easy to work with, and extremely efficient. Her experience in the barn also tells her that Jerseys produce more milk per unit of body weight than any other breed and they require less labour to milk. Melyssa understands that sometimes ‘less is more’ and the Jersey breed produces less waste needing less storage for manure and they also produce 55% less phosphorous per kg of manure. Melyssa has participated in Jersey showmanship at the Royal since the age of 10 (placing in the top eight for six years) and has achieved 3rd Junior in 2012 and 5th Intermediate in 2013. In 2012, Melyssa brought home a Reserve All Canadian 4-H Yearling, an All Ontario Junior Yearling and an All Ontario 4-H Yearling. Other accolades for 2014 include an Honourable Mention calf at the Central Ontario Jersey Rally where she also gained Grand Champion Showman. In addition to her show winnings, Melyssa’s photo floats avidly around Facebook as the Ontario Jersey Rally Princess for 2014. “As the Royal Jersey Ambassador, I hope to gain a greater knowledge about the Jersey breed, meet new people, welcome friends and promote Jerseys,” says Melyssa. When you are at the Royal, come by and meet this dynamic Jersey aficionado.  Melyssa Sargent est une élève de 12e année d’Enniskillen, Ontario et fait partie de Enniskillen Jerseys. Les Jerseys sont la race préférée de Melyssa car elles ont bon caractère, sont plaisantes à côtoyer et extrêmement efficaces. Son expérience dans l’étable lui confirme que les Jerseys produisent plus de lait par unité de poids corporel que toute autre race et demandent moins d’effort à la traite. Melyssa comprend que parfois ‘moins c’est plus’ et que la race Jersey produit moins de rebuts ce qui réduit le besoin d’entreposage pour le fumier. Elles produisent également 55 % moins de phosphores par kg de fumier. Melyssa a participé au jugement de présentation à la Royal depuis l’âge de 10 ans (se plaçant dans les 8 meilleurs pendant 6 ans) et a atteint le 3e rang Junior en 2012 et 5e Intermédiaire en 2013. En 2012, Melyssa a remporté les titres de génisse 4-H Réserve Tout Canadien, Junior 1 An Tout Ontario et 4-H Un An Tout Ontario. D’autres prix en 2013 comprennent un veau Mention Honorable lors du Rallye Jersey Ontario Central où elle a aussi remporté le Grand Championnat de Présentation. En plus de ses succès d’expositions, la photo de Melyssa circule beaucoup sur Facebook comme Princesse du rallye de Jersey Ontario 2014. « En tant qu’Ambassadeur Jersey, j’espère acquérir une plus grande connaissance de la race Jersey, rencontrer de nouvelles personnes, accueillir des amis et promouvoir les Jerseys » dit Melyssa. Lorsque vous serez à la Royal, venez rencontrer cette dynamique adepte de Jerseys.  October - November 2014 Canadian Jersey Breeder 45

MASTITIS RESISTANCE

Please take the time to accurately record these 8 important diseases on your farm.

WHERE TO RECORD HEALTH INFO 1. In your DHI Herd Event Log Book 2. In Dairy Comp or Lac-T software 3. With your veterinarian (for those participating in the DSAHR program)

HOW RECORDING BENEFITS YOU 1) Herd Management

Thanks to you, we’ve just taken an important step towards a healthy, trouble-free cow. Let’s take the next step – please continue to consistently record your herd health data.

You can’t manage what you don’t measure. Manage herd health with help from your veterinarian by using reported disease events and DHI health reports.

2) Genetic Benefits

Health data allows for the genetic evaluation of disease resistance traits. A genetic evaluation for Mastitis Resistance is the first product of your on-farm recording efforts. Increased recording will continue to improve the accuracy of this novel trait, and will allow for the creation of new disease resistance traits in the future.

* For disease definitions, see cdn.ca/articles.php or contact your DHI representative.

Jersey History

The

Historical Pedigree of Camarine of Mapleside

A Jersey heifer, Camarine of Mapleside, was born on September 2, 1909. She appears to have been the property of Addie Stuart Ball, wife of Joseph Rice Ball of Waterville, Quebec. Her seventh generation extended pedigree was found amongst papers in the Ball household. It is handwritten in black ink with production and pertinent information in red ink. The name of the owner is not evident but the Waterville address is documented. The pedigree was assembled by B. E. Alexander. The heifer had been served on December 2, 1911 by the bull Roosevelt of Maplehurst. This suggests that the pedigree was drawn up in 1912, before she calved. What is not clear is if, and when, the heifer was transferred to the Balls and if they purchased her later as a milking female, no production details were recorded. Camarine is described in the Canadian Jersey Cattle Club Record (the Record) as “Belly two small spots on right flank, one on left, tongue and switch white. Calved [property of and] … bred by H. W Edwards, North Coaticook, Que.; second owner, Edwards and Alexander, North Coaticook, Que”. Her registration number was 2342 but transcribed in error on the pedigree as 2343. All early Jersey registrations recorded the occurrence of white markings. The standard was ‘solid colour, black tongue and switch’. H.W. Edwards (Henry Watson Edwards) was Vice-President of the Canadian Jersey Cattle Club from 1908 until 1913. On the 1911 Compton District Census, he farmed in partnership with his son-in-law Lee Alexander, who lived in his household. Jason Lee Alexander married Blanche Ella Edwards on May 1, 1902. The compiler of the pedigree, noted as B. E., was Blanche Ella Alexander, daughter and wife of Edwards and Alexander partners who sold Camarine of Mapleside to Mrs. Ball. In 1921, the Alexander family had their own farm at Melbourne, Richmond County, Quebec where J. L. Alexander was a Jersey breeder until his death in 1932. Originally from Vermont, Joseph and Addie Ball arrived in the Eastern Townships shortly after their 1880 Vermont marriage. Joseph managed a mill at Waterville, on the Coaticook River, ten miles south of Sherbrooke, where they resided until 1891. After this date they purchased a small farm at the south end of Main Street in Waterville where they built a beautiful red-brick Queen Anne style house, which still stands, set back from the street and near a ravine. There was a small barn for horses and a few cows with a large field for pasture, which in the 1960s was vacant land. Mrs. Ball was interested in the breeding of Jerseys and documents state that she may have being associated with a Jersey breeders association at Sherbrooke. She probably kept a cow or two for domestic use. 60

Histoire de Jersey

The mill, which Mr. Ball established was the Dominion Snath Company and manufactured ash handles for scythes. The business was highly successful and he shipped the product to clients around the world. This continued until the 1960s, when the company was one of the few manufacturers of wood snaths that remained. It was highly skilled work using steam to bend and permanently mould the wood into the unique curved shape. A good number of men were employed especially in the early years before the mechanization of farming made scythes obsolete for harvesting. The company produced other products such as mitre boxes, ironing boards and ‘Libby’ wooden spoons of various sizes for kitchen use. The extended pedigree came into my hands through my aunt Bertha Parkinson, who was the secretary-treasurer of the Dominion Snath Company since 1927, working for Henry Stuart Ball, son of Joseph and Addie, the president and chief executive officer. She retired in 1955, when she and Stuart were married, following the death of his first wife Bessie Aldrich. Co-incidentally the Aldrich family were Jersey breeders at Huntingville, Quebec. Stuart Ball died in 1960 and the property was sold.

"This short history of a Jersey heifer gives one an idea of the quality of cattle that were available to farmers in Quebec over a hundred years ago."

Daniel Parkinson Camarine’s Sire Camarine was the daughter of Maplehurst Golden Lad, number 98 in ‘the Record’. He was bred by Walter McMonagle of Sussex, NB, who calved his property in December 1905 and was owned by H. W Edwards. His sire was the American bred Oomph’s Eastern Star 59117 who was four generations removed from Golden Lad, a notable breeding sire, who is pictured in The Dairy Queen by Derrick Frigot & Hans Norgaard, a recent history of Jerseys around the world. Golden Lad is said to appear "in the pedigree of virtually every Jersey in the world”. Maplehurst Golden Lad was “winner of 1st prize and diploma” at Canada’s Great Eastern Exhibition (CGEE), Sherbrooke, Quebec in 1909. He also sired winners in both 1909/10 and his daughters were known to be great producers. His dam was Leonette of Glen View bred by Walter McMonagle of Sussex, NB and calved September 28, 1902. She was 170996 in the American Herd Register and had the following success: “Winner of great many prizes; 21 lbs. butter in 7 days. One of 4 sisters whose average yearly test is 7 20/100 %

by Daniel Parkinson

butterfat.” One can understand why Jerseys were at this time promoted as butter cows for families. Camarine’s Dam The dam of Camarine was Dolly of Maplehurst (Canadian registration number 405) who was calved on October 8, 1906 and ‘broken coloured’. She was bred and owned by H. W. Edwards and produced 513 ¼ lbs of butter and 8829 ½ lbs of milk in one year. Her sire was Roosevelt of Mericroft (66388 in the American Herd Register) bred by W. R. Connal of Newport Centre, Vermont, approximately 40 miles from the Edwards farm. He was of St. Lambert breeding and it is noted on the pedigree: “Fine show bull won 1st at C.G.E.E., only time shown. Sire of many fine cows.” Dolly’s dam was Camarine (149133 in the American Herd Register) and bred by C. C. Hanson of Coaticook, QC. She produced 610 pounds of butter in 1 year and 20 lbs, 2 oz of butter in 7 days. There is no inbreeding in the immediate pedigree (no duplication of names) and the imported breeding stock is primarily in the pedigree of Maplehurst Golden Lad. The inbreeding in the St. Lambert pedigrees of Dolly of Maplehurst is not immediately apparent but further back in the pedigree. With limited access to herd books, tracing the breeders or owners of all of the cattle in this pedigree was not possible. The dam of the paternal granddam Leonette of Glen View was Beautiful Gleneva 3, whose sire was New Brunswick Climax, a son of Canada’s Climax and son of Canada’s John Bull - all in the American Herd Register and one supposes bred in New Brunswick. The dam of Beautiful Gleneva 3 was Beautiful Gleneva: “Grand Champion Cow of the Dominion in 1904 & 1905 & 1906, 24 lbs 13 oz in 7 days, 713 lbs in 1 year.” The St. Lambert herd of Harrison Stephens of Montreal was developed from stock that came from Peter Leclair of Vermont, from Jersey and the Windsor England herd of Queen Victoria. The St. Lambert name appears once in the sire’s pedigree, ‘Rose of St. Lambert’, who was the dam of the aforementioned Canada’s Climax. On the dam’s side the sire of Roosevelt of Mericroft was Xyst’s St. Lambert. His great great grandsire was Stoke Pogis who was the sire of Stoke Pogis 3rd, a member of the original St. Lambert herd. There are ten others with the St. Lambert name in the pedigree of Dolly of Maplehurst. This short history of a Jersey heifer gives one an idea of the quality of cattle that were available to farmers in Quebec over a hundred years ago. It also makes clear that women played an active role in the promotion of the breed as they have continued to throughout the years.  October - November 2014 Canadian Jersey Breeder

The Butter Equation

The early records (pre 1925) were all quoted in pounds of butter. The Babcock test for butterfat was invented in 1892 but it took a long time to convert breeders to quote records in butterfat because the number was smaller. 305 day and 365 day records were introduced in 1903 but in the United States there were still more seven day records completed each year than yearly records until 1923. Authorities on this subject state that the official ratio of butterfat equated to 85.33% of butter. Therefore a cow with an annual record of 1000 lbs of butter had 853 pounds of butterfat. Further research claims that this conversion may be high. An old standard text titled Modern Dairy Products by Lincoln M. Lambert (California Department of Agriculture, 1975), suggests 81% butterfat in sweet butter. Butter is heavier due to the presence of water, salt and curd. The fat percentage in the milk used to make the butter would also affect the equation. 

About Our Author: Daniel Parkinson Daniel Parkinson was raised on his family’s Brightlook Jersey Farm at Waterville, Quebec. His brother David was the Ontario Jersey field man in the 1970s and subsequently held positions with the American Jersey Cattle Club (AJCC) until his retirement. Daniel was an editorial assistant for the Canadian Jersey Breeder in 1972-1973. He contributed several short pieces to the magazine from 1997-1999 and for many years volunteered at the Royal on show day. He has published a book titled “Up To Rawdon”, tracing the origins of families who settled at Rawdon, Quebec (http://uptorawdon.com/). Daniel has donated the original extended pedigree of Camarine of Mapleside to Jersey Canada and it is framed and on display in the office.

Dans les premiers documents (avant 1925) tout était inscrit en livres de beurre. Le test Babcock pour le gras a été inventé en 1892 mais il a fallu beaucoup de temps pour convertir les éleveurs à utiliser les données en gras car les chiffres étaient plus petits. On a commencé à utiliser les records de 305 et 365 jours en 1903 mais aux ÉtatsUnis on utilisait encore beaucoup les records de sept jours complétés chaque année plutôt que les records annuels qui sont devenus la norme en 1923. Les experts de ce sujet nous mentionnent que le ratio officiel de gras équivalait à 85,33% de gras. Donc, une vache avec un record annuel de 1000 lbs de beurre avait 853 livres de gras. Une autre recherche cite que cette conversion était peut-être un peu élevée. Un vieux texte de normes intitulé Modern Dairy Products par Lincoln M. Lambert (California Department of Agriculture, 1975), suggère 81 % de gras dans le beurre. Le beurre est plus lourd à cause de la présence d’eau, de sel et de caillé. Le pourcentage de gras du lait utilisé pour faire le beurre affecterait cette équation.  À propos de l’auteur, Daniel Parkinson Daniel Parkinson a grandi sur la ferme familiale, Brightlook Jersey Farm à Waterville, Québec. Son frère, David, était représentant sur le terrain pour Jersey Ontario dans les années 1970 puis a occupé plusieurs postes au sein de l’American Jersey Cattle Club (AJCC) jusqu’à sa retraite. Daniel fut assistant éditeur pour L’Éleveur de Jersey canadien en 1972-1973. Il a fourni plusieurs courts articles pour le magazine de 1997-1999. Pendant plusieurs années il a été bénévole à la Royale pour la journée de l’exposition. Il a publié un livre intitulé «Up to Rawdon» retraçant les origines des familles s’étant établies à Rawdon, Québec (http://uptorawdon.com/). Daniel a donné à Jersey Canada la généalogie détaillée originale de Camarine of Mapleside qui sera sous peu encadrée et exposée dans les bureaux.

Jersey History

La généalogie historique de Une génisse Jersey, Camarine of Mapleside, est née le 2 septembre 1909. Il semble qu’elle ait appartenue à Addie Stuart Ball, épouse de Joseph Rice Ball de Waterville, Québec. La généalogie exhaustive de sept générations a été retrouvée dans les papiers de la famille Ball. Elle est écrite à la main à l’encre noire et la production et toute information pertinente écrite en rouge. Le nom du propriétaire n’est pas évident mais l’adresse de Waterville est indiquée. La généalogie a été compilée par B. E. Alexander. La génisse a reçu le taureau Roosevelt of Maplehurst le 2 décembre 1911. Ceci suppose que la généalogie a été faite en 1912 avant son vêlage. Ce n’est pas clair si, ou quand, la génisse a été transférée aux Ball et s’ils l’ont achetée plus tard comme vache en lactation – aucun détail n’a été indiqué. Camarine est décrite dans le Canadian Jersey Cattle Club Record (le Record) comme ayant «sur le ventre, deux petites taches sur le côté droit, un sur la gauche, langue et bout de queue blancs. Vêlée [propriété de et] … élevée par H. W. Edwards, North Coaticook, Qué.; deuxième propriétaire, Edwards et Alexander, North Coaticook, Qué.». Son numéro d’enregistrement était 2342 mais avait été transcrit de façon erronée sur sa généalogie qui démontrait 2343. Les tous premiers enregistrements Jerseys notaient les taches blanches. La norme était une ‘couleur solide, langue et bout de queue noirs’. H.W. Edwards (Henry Watson Edwards) fut Vice-Président du Canadian Jersey Cattle Club de 1908 à 1913. Selon le recensement du district de Compton de 1911, il opérait la ferme en partenariat avec son gendre, Lee Alexander, qui résidait avec lui. Jason Lee Alexander a épousé Blanche Ella Edwards le 1e mai 1902. La personne consignant la généalogie a noté que B. E., qui représente Blanche Ella Alexander, fille de Edwards et épouse de Alexander, tous deux partenaires, a vendu Camarine of Mapleside à Mme Ball. En 1921, la famille Alexander avait sa propre ferme à Melbourne, comté de Richmond, Québec, où J. L. Alexander fut éleveur de Jerseys jusqu’à sa mort en 1932. Originaires du Vermont, Joseph et Addie Ball sont arrivés dans les cantons de l’est peu après leur mariage au Vermont en 1880. Joseph gérait un moulin à Waterville, sur la rivière Coaticook, dix milles au sud de Sherbrooke, là où il a résidé jusqu’en 1891. Après cette date, ils ont acheté une petite ferme au sud de la rue Main de Waterville. Ils y ont bâti une belle maison de brique rouge de style Queen Anne, à l’écart de la route, près d’un ravin, maison qui est toujours debout. Il y avait une petite grange pour les chevaux et quelques vaches ainsi qu’un grand champ pour le pâturage qui, dans les années 1960, était un terrain vacant. Mme Ball était intéressée par l’élevage de Jerseys et les documents mentionnent qu’elle ait pu être associée avec l’association d’éleveurs de Jerseys de Sherbrooke. Elle gardait probablement une vache ou deux pour son usage personnel.

Histoire de Jersey

Camarine of Mapleside

Le moulin, établi par M. Ball, était la Dominion Snath Company et produisait des manches en frêne pour les faux. L’entreprise connaissait beaucoup de succès et expédiait ses produits à des clients de partout au monde. Ils ont opéré ainsi jusque dans les années 1960 puis la compagnie fut l’une des quelques usines de manches de bois qui est restée. C’était un travail très précis qui utilisait la vapeur pour courber et mouler le bois de façon permanente dans une forme arrondie unique. Plusieurs hommes y travaillaient, spécialement dans les premières années avant que l’arrivée de la mécanisation rende les faux désuètes pour la récolte. La compagnie a également fabriqué d’autres produits comme des boîtes à onglets, des planches à repasser et des cuillers en bois ‘Libby’ de toutes tailles pour la cuisine. La généalogie détaillée m’est tombée dans les mains grâce à ma tante Bertha Parkinson, qui était la secrétaire-trésorière de la Dominion Snath Company depuis 1927, travaillant pour Henry Stuart Ball, fis de Joseph et Addie, le président et directeur général. Elle a pris sa retraite en 1955, lorsqu’elle et Stuart se sont mariés suite à la mort de sa première épouse, Bessie Aldrich. Incidemment, la famille Aldrich était éleveurs de Jerseys à Huntingville, Québec. Stuart Ball est mort en 1960 et la propriété fut vendue.

« Cette courte histoire d’une génisse Jersey nous donne une idée de la qualité d’animaux qui était disponibles pour les fermiers du Québec il y a plus de cent ans.»

Daniel Parkinson Le père de Camarine Camarine était la fille de Maplehurst Golden Lad, le numéro 98 dans ‘le Record’. Il a été élevé par Walter McMonagle de Sussex, NB, né sur sa propriété en décembre 1905 et a appartenu à H. W Edwards. Son père, élevé aux États-Unis, était Oomph’s Eastern Star 59117 qui est à quatre générations de Golden Lad, un taureau reproducteur éminent, dont la photo apparaît dans The Dairy Queen par Derrick Frigot & Hans Norgaard, une histoire récente des Jerseys de partout au monde. On dit que Golden Lad apparaît « dans la généalogie de presque toutes les Jerseys au monde. » Maplehurst Golden Lad a « gagné le 1e prix et un diplôme » à la Canada’s Great Eastern Exhibition (CGEE), à Sherbrooke, Québec en 1909. Il a aussi produit des gagnants en 1909/10 et ses filles étaient reconnues comme étant de bonnes productrices. Sa mère était Leonette of Glen View élevée par Walter McMonagle de Sussex, NB et a vêlé le 28 septembre 1902. Elle avait le numéro 170996 dans le registre de troupeau américain et a obtenu le succès suivant: « Gagnante de plusieurs prix; 21 lbs de beurre en 7 jours. Une des 4 soeurs dont le test moyen annuel était de 7 20/100 % de gras. » On peut

par Daniel Parkinson

comprendre pourquoi les Jerseys étaient connues comme vaches à beurre pour les familles. La mère de Camarine La mère de Camarine était Dolly of Maplehurst (numéro d’enregistrement canadien 405) qui a vêlé le 8 octobre 1906 et était ‘brun cassé’. Elle a été élevée par son propriétaire, H. W. Edwards, et a produit 513 ¼ lbs de beurre et 8829 ½ lbs de lait en une année. Son père était Roosevelt of Mericroft (66388 dans le registre de troupeau américain) élevé par W. R. Connal de Newport Centre, Vermont, à approximativement 40 miles de la ferme des Edwards. Il provenait de St-Lambert et il est noté dans sa généalogie : « Bon taureau d’exposition, a remporté la 1e place au C.G.E.E., exposé une fois seulement. Père de plusieurs bonnes vaches. » La mère de Dolly était Camarine (149133 dans le registre de troupeau américain), élevée par C. C. Hanson de Coaticook, QC. Elle a produit 610 livres de beurre en 1 an et 20 lbs, 2 oz de beurre en 7 jours. Il n’y a aucune co-sanguinité dans la généalogie immédiate (aucun duplicata de nom) et les animaux de reproduction importés sont principalement dans la généalogie de Maplehurst Golden Lad. La co-sanguinité dans la lignée de St-Lambert de Dolly of Maplehurst n’est pas immédiatement apparente mais on la retrouve plus avant dans la lignée. Avec un accès limité aux livres de races, retracer les éleveurs et propriétaires de tous les animaux dans cette lignée n’était pas possible. La mère de la grand-mère paternelle, Leonette of Glen View, était Beautiful Gleneva 3 dont le père était New Brunswick Climax, un fils de Canada’s Climax et fils de Canada’s John Bull - tous dans le registre de race américain, mais un qui semble avoir été élevé au Nouveau Brunswick. La mère de Beautiful Gleneva 3 était Beautiful Gleneva: « Vache Grande Championne de la Dominion en 1904 & 1905 & 1906, 24 lbs 13 oz en 7 jours, 713 lbs en 1 an. » Le troupeau St-Lambert de Harrison Stephens de Montréal a été développé à partir d’animaux provenant de Peter Leclair du Vermont, de Jersey et du troupeau Windsor England de la Reine Victoria. Le nom de St-Lambert apparaît une fois dans la généalogie du père de ‘Rose of St. Lambert’, qui était la mère de Canada’s Climax mentionné ci-haut. Du côté maternel du taureau de Roosevelt of Mericroft on retrouve Xyst’s St. Lambert. Son arrière-arrière-grandpère était Stoke Pogis qui a engendré Stoke Pogis 3rd, un membre du troupeau original St-Lambert. Il y a dix autres membres portant le nom de St-Lambert dans la généalogie de Dolly of Maplehurst. Cette courte histoire d’une génisse Jersey nous donne une idée de la qualité d’animaux qui était disponibles pour les fermiers du Québec il y a plus de cent ans. Elle appuie aussi le rôle actif que prenaient les femmes dans la promotion de la race, comme elles l’ont fait depuis des années.  October - November 2014 Canadian Jersey Breeder

The most exciting Jersey proof round for Semex arrived on August 12th! Canadian bred Missiska MacKenzie bursts on to the scene with a fourth place ranking on the US GJPI list for G code bulls with a sky high +259! MacKenzie is also fourth on the CDN young sire list with a super +1991 GLPI and an amazing +108 kgs of fat! Drilling down into his stats reveals Direct Genomic Values (DGV's) of +116 fat, +.69% fat, +69 kgs protein and +.22% protein. This bull was made to deliver solid percents and yield along with a plus type profile. Golden GDK Vivaldi retains his number one ranking among young sires at +2059 GLPI with superior components (see page 63). Another high ranking Semex bull is Sandcreeks Franklin, a son of the exciting DP Valentino Samson and from a dam by TBone. This bull merits a +1903 GLPI and his DGV story is as amazing as that of MacKenzie and Vivaldi! Ponder these numbers: +100 kgs fat, +71 kgs protein, +8 conformation, +8 mammary, +11 dairy strength and +15 rump! All of these Genomax sires are packed with power. They have DGV's at or over +100 kgs of fat, their GLPI's average +1984 and their DGV's for LPI average +2115! Two additional highlights for Semex were the first daughter proof on Comestar JDF Beautifull, an Iatola son from the Belle family, and a large upward movement in the daughter proof of Lucky Hill Joker, a high ranking Blackstone son. Beautifull ranks in the top five of the breed for GLPI among proven sires and is the only proven sire in the top 30 of the breed for GLPI who is a double digit plus for type at +11! He knows his role as a sire of high testing daughters with very strong mammary systems (+8) and exceptional feet and legs (+12)! His Somatic Cell Score (SCS) is notable at a very low 2.79! Joker sires extreme production - MACE figures of +1885 milk, +81 kgs fat, +64 kgs protein with a nice low SCS of 2.87. His GMACE LPI is +1736. He ranks a high 12th on the active AI list in the USA. With his two closest sires being Blackstone and Legion he offers an appealing option for those seeking alternatives to the common sire lines in the US Jersey population.

At the corner of Stone Road and Gordon Street are the newly redesigned University of Guelph campus entrance and the glorious giant bronzed Gryphon sculpture. Unveiled last June as part of the University’s 50th anniversary celebration and alumni weekend, the statue is both commemorative and enduring. The Ontario Veterinary College class of 1956 championed the project and the $300,000 initiative was funded entirely by donations, primarily from alumni and student groups. The Gryphon is the namesake of the University’s sports teams. It is depicted as a mythical creature with strength, power and wisdom. The press release issued by the University states that, “the Gryphon is a strange hybrid creature, like mathematics and literature, logic and nonsense, academia and popular culture, eagle and lion”. The Guelph Gryphon rests on a book and is lit at night to represent the illumination of knowledge. www.uoguelph.ca/news/2014/06/gryphon_statue_unveiled_entrance_uguelph.html

Sofie had outstanding accomplishments during her lifetime and her achievements were celebrated in 2012 as Jersey Cow of the Year. This is one of the highest accolades a Jersey cow can reach as she is selected from the dairy community itself and is competing against the best of the best. Sofie was an impressive Brood cow with a total of 26 offspring including 11 EX and 9 VG daughters. 40% of todays Bri-Lin herd is related to Sofie and her family. As we pay tribute to Sofie - we would like to say thank-you. Thank-you for being such an important part of the Bri-Lin family and creating an everlasting Jersey legacy.

A note from THE by/par Shawna Berry

Communications Specialist/Spécialiste des communications, Jersey Canada

Ontario Agricultural Collage ~ 140 Faces Established in 1874, the Ontario Agricultural College (OAC) is a founding college of the University of Guelph and is recognized as Canada's largest and most renowned agricultural college. OAC is a global leader in education, research and service in agriculture, food, environmental sciences and community development. In celebration of the OAC’s 140th anniversary, a listing of 140 people was compiled. The project was created in hopes of capturing the diversity of people who make up the identity of the OAC and its 140-year-long history. One of the individuals featured in the 140 Faces is Dr. Clare Rennie. It seems that everyone in the dairy industry knows Dr. Rennie in some way or form. I too have had the pleasure of working with him as part of ‘the China project’ at Semex many years ago, where I prepared many of his dairy presentations, developed bilingual (Mandarin) manuals for our veterinarians located in far east Asia, and coordinated numerous dairy related tours for Chinese delegates. Like others, I wondered where Dr. Rennie got his energy as he never stopped. I consider myself a detailed individual, but if you worked for Dr. Rennie, you needed to step it up a notch. His expectation was pure perfection and he himself always delivered above and beyond. It was a frustrating time for 'the China project' in 2003 - BSE flared up and Chinese borders closed - but nothing seemed to rattle Dr. Rennie. Some may not know, but Dr. Rennie has shared with me that his career was launched by the Jersey cow. His association with Jersey cattle goes something like this: • In 1946, as a fourth year student at OAC, Dr. Rennie was trying out for the Dairy Cattle Judging Team, hopefully to compete in the Intercollegiate Judging Competition at a large dairy show located at Waterloo, Iowa. The participants were being trained one day at the then famous Brampton Jersey Farm. Dr. Rennie was having a bad day and was still picking Jersey cows that where thick and fat like the Shorthorn cattle on his fathers home farm. His professor had some ‘words’ with him behind the barn – and three weeks later their team won first place in judging Jerseys and he had the top score. • In 1949 Dr. Rennie decided to pursue graduate studies in the field of animal breeding genetics at Iowa State and his research would focus on ‘The Relationship Between Type and Production in Jersey Cattle in Canada’. He spent many hours in the Jersey office in Toronto collecting data and arranging the shipment of punch cards to Iowa. • Dr. Rennie’s Masters of Science work was supported by a scholarship of $1,500 provided by the late Bartley Bull of Brampton Jersey - a tremendous amount of money at that time. Dr. Rennie suggests that there may even be a copy of his old thesis in the Jersey Canada library. • After returning to Canada and OAC in 1952 he attended and presented papers at two World Jersey Conferences. Over the years I thought I knew quite a bit about Dr. Rennie, his wife Shirley, and the Rennie family. But I was proven wrong as the University of Guelph OAC ‘140 Faces’ was recently revealed and I learned more. This recognition reminds me of how honoured I am to have worked with such an important individual.  68

Below is an extraction of the write-up posted on the U of G OAC website (www.uoguelph.ca/oac/140faces/james-clarence-rennie): Name: James Clarence Rennie Hometown: Blackwater Junction, Ontario “There is a great culture and spirit in OAC of wanting Current Residence: Guelph, Ontario to learn and understand Birth Year: 1926 science and seek out new OAC Grad Year: BSA 1947 and better technology.” Affiliation: Alumni, Faculty Clare Rennie OAC Pillar: Agriculture Clare Rennie introduced computer technology to OAC and helped establish genetic indexes for dairy cattle that shaped the animal genetic industry for decades. Clare also served the agriculture industry in senior administration roles, including head of the Department of Animal Husbandry, acting dean of OAC in 1972, and later as an assistant deputy minister at the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food for 17 years. Clare's own studies at OAC began at the age of 16 in 1943, when the campus was dominated by the Royal Canadian Air Force wireless training school. Clare went on to pursue his interest in livestock genetics at Iowa State College where he did his graduate studies with world famous population geneticist, Dr. J. L. Lush. Dr. Lush insisted his students learn to use data processing equipment, something Clare was sure he would never use again. When Clare returned to OAC as a faculty member in 1952 his technical experience gave him the opportunity to develop the first computerized data analysis laboratory on campus where he did research on genetic indexing systems for dairy cattle. His research went on to have immeasurable impact, forming the foundation of modern genetic indexing of animals, which would remain the dominant system until the recent emergence of genomics. Following his official retirement, Clare began an exciting opportunity with the Canadian International Development Agency and Semex Alliance to help China expand and improve their dairy industry. As a result of the project, animal health and production improved tremendously in China, and milk consumption grew. Clare was honoured with the “Friend of China” Award from the People’s Republic of China, which recognizes significant contributions by foreigners to economic and social progress in China. He was also inducted into the Canadian Agricultural Hall of Fame in 1991. October - November 2014 Canadian Jersey Breeder

Youth Leadership

Carol Ruta of Glenholme Jerseys was one of five volunteers who was awarded the 2014 Outstanding New 4-H Ontario Club Leader Awards. Carol’s members of the Peel 4-H Association enjoy how she is inclusive and engaging. When Carol became a leader in 2012 she joined the Bolton Dairy Club and lent calves from her own farm to non-rural members so they could participate. In addition to her 4-H club work, Carol also assists in other fundraisers, recently helped chaperone the Peel EastGen Team, is on the Peel 4-H Association Board and has taken on the role of Livestock Coordinator for the Judging Competition. Also in 2014, Carol organized a new Vet Club, which has quickly become known as “the best club ever” by some members. Committed leaders like Carol encourage our next generation of dairy farmers and progressive AG youth programs would not exist without this support.

Jersey In Memory of Jean Forrester In her 82nd year, Jean Forrester passed away peacefully on July 6, 2014 at Kings County Memorial Hospital in Montague, Prince Edward Island (PEI). Jean, devoted wife and mother, was married 62 years to Peter Forrester, on July 5, 1952. Survived by children: John (Betty) Forrester, Tony (Gayle) Forrester of Buttercup Jerseys, Ruth Forrester, Jill (Gerry) Hamming, Isobel (John) Valentin, Christopher Forrester, Anne (Ed) Van Donkersgoed, Helen (John) Donkersgoed, Graham (Karen) Forrester; 38 grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren. Jean will be greatly missed by many. Jean's dairy roots go straight back to the UK where she helped manage the cattle back home in Derbyshire, England and also in Wales before settling in PEI. "I had to help wash the cattle before milking when I was 7 years old," mentions Tony Forrester, "and by the time I was 12 I was given full responsibility in the care of the cattle." 

Congratulations Derrick Frigot, President of the World Jersey Cattle Bureau (WJCB), has been made a Member of the British Empire (MBE) in the Queens Birthday Honours List for services to agriculture. This recognition is well deserved for Derrick's accomplishments and dedication to the Jersey breed. Derrick is pictured below with two cows bred and owned with John Le Feuvre.

Vincent Brennen Inducted into the Quinte Agricultural Wall of Fame

Induction Ceremony September 14, 2014 | Farmtown Park in Stirling, Ontario (formerly known as the Hastings County Agricultural Museum) Vince Brennan, from Hastings County, is an enthusiastic 4-H supporter, former President of the Ontario 4-H Council, a dairy cattle show judge for over 30 years, an active volunteer and a world renowned dairy cattle breeder. Growing up as a 5th generation farmer, he established his own dairy farm at Marysville in 1980 under the Brenwood prefix. Vince and his wife Beverley purchased her parents’ farm in 1989 and moved their operation to Stirling. Vince is an astute, passionate, experienced dairyman with deep roots and a commitment to the community - earning him the recent induction into the Quinte Agricultural Wall of Fame. Vince was a long time 4-H member, leader and volunteer. He was involved in the local Holstein and Jersey Breed associations and served as chairman of the International Marketing Committee for Jersey Canada. For over 35 years he was involved with the Quinte Exhibition as exhibitor, director and chairman of the Cattle and 4-H Championship Show Committees. Vince was awarded the ‘Agri-Food and Communities Volunteer Recognition Award’ by the University of Guelph (2004), and the ‘Syngenta 4-H Ontario Arbor Award’ (2005) for his work with youth and young adults in agriculture. On the cow side, Vince is the breeder and owner of Brenwood Angie Marlin, World Champion Holstein Butterfat Producer. Angie held three Canadian fat production records – her 5-year-old record in 1984 had an amazing top butter fat average test of 9.8% with a BCA of 177-471-175. Angie brought much attention to the Brenwood herd and the Quinte area. Over the years, the Brenwood Holstein herd achieved numerous Holstein Canada production awards with classification records of 10 Very Good, 22 Good Plus and 4 Good. Several cattle that Vince purchased went Excellent under his care and development. Jerseys were added shortly after moving to Stirling and they eventually made up 40% of the herd. Of 84 Brenwood cows, Jersey classification results were: 13 Excellent, 53 Very Good, 16 Good Plus and 2 Good, for a remarkable 79% Very Good or better. The herd achieved Jersey Canada Silver and Gold Awards for high production. Vince has also had great success in local and international show rings. 15 All Canadian Jersey nominations resulted in six All Canadian awards, two Reserve All Canadians and 2 Honourable Mentions - all on homebred Brenwood animals. Brenwood Holstein and Jersey cattle have been sold across Canada, the United States, Russia, Spain, Japan, Ireland and Brazil. Vince has had the privilege of judging several dairy breeds in national and state shows in Brazil and Columbia and the Royal Ulster Show in Ireland. Vince is also an avid curler and he collects Ross Butler art/prints and local milk bottles. On behalf of the Jersey fraternity, we would like to congratulate Vince on this outstanding achievement!
