“Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success.” HENRY FORD ne of the serendipitous aspects O of the magazine business is the unintended patterns that appear in any
one particular issue. We both noticed it in our years working for HolsteinWorld, and already have seen it in our early days of producing Cowsmopolitan. You plan an issue, arrange the visits, write the stories and take the photos. And then, when you’ve put the issue together, after everything is complete, you notice a theme swirling through the content – not premeditated, but there, nonetheless. In this issue, it’s the predominance of partnerships. Long-term partnerships; new partnerships; family partnerships; partnerships that stretch across borders and across generations – all sharing a goal of achieving success in a tough business. It’s a common thread in most of our feature articles, and even in our several of our sale and show summaries. So much about successful partnerships boils down to agreeing on the common goal. Whether that partnership centers around showing cattle, selling cattle, farm ownership, a marriage – everybody we spoke to emphasized the importance of trust, communication, and a shared vision. The right partner enhances your strengths and balances your weaknesses. We’ve already seen that in our time together as
from the editors
co-owners and co-editors – our individual enthusiasms lean to different areas of print and digital content production, yet our common goal is for Cowsmopolitan – both the magazine and the website – to be a pleasure to read, filled with relevant and engaging content for our readers. We’re delighted to be entering into a partnership with World Dairy Expo as the official photographers for this 2019 show. The incredible staff at WDE have a vision and a story they want to communicate visually about the event, and we’re gratified that they’ve put their trust and faith in our company to deliver a component of that for them! We’re developing numerous partnerships with those in allied industry who see the various platforms of Cowsmopolitan – whether the website, event coverage, or the magazine – as prime territory to advertise to and support the breeders and producers in our industry. As we touched on earlier, the inherent partnership in the magazine business is between the editors and the readers. We’re striving to fill each issue of the magazine with varied, interesting content from all the dairy breeds. We’re working hard to cover as many events as possible in both the US and Canada. We’re trusting you to let us know what we’re doing
well and where we can do better. In the end, the one partnership that’s the most important and the most inviolable is between us and the breeders and owners of these fabulous purebred dairy cattle. When you choose to spend your hardearned money to run an ad or to promote a sale consignment or to support a show, we take that trust and commitment very, very seriously. We’re dedicated to delivering a beautiful and effective marketing product because the goal for this partnership is to see you prosper! Our first issue was so very well received and so very well supported by you, the breeders and owners of these cattle. We can’t express our gratitude enough – thank you, thank you. We can, however, tell you how excited we are heading into the fall show season! We look forward to seeing old friends and making new ones. Please stop by our booth at World Dairy Expo – Arena Level 192 & 193 – right outside the showring. Say hello, renew your subscription, and give us some feedback – we’re trusting you to keep this partnership vibrant, exciting, and moving us all forward to a prosperous future!

LOOKOUT FARM
AN IDEAL SETTING FOR MAN & BEAST
T
he road got rougher and steeper, and the trees got thicker alongside as we made our way up the slope. Julie looked over at me and said, “Can you believe there’s a dairy farm here?” I smiled and shook my head, just as we emerged into a cleared area and spotted the farm driveway. Our GPS had taken us up the ‘back way’, but delivered us to not only a dairy farm, but one of the prettiest farms set in one of the most picturesque locations you can imagine. Lookout Farm, located in the Eastern Townships region of Quebec, perches on a mountain above the village of North Hatley. The views of the town and of Lake
Massawippi are breathtaking, and it’s instantly understandable why the area is a popular vacation destination due to its natural beauty. It’s also the English-speaking area where Callum McKinven grew up – only a kilometer away and around the corner from the present-day location of the farm. His father, Alex, came to Canada from Scotland to become the manager at Clematis Farm in North Hatley, and developed one of the finest Jersey herds in the country. In the 1960s and 70s, The Lookout, up the hill from both Clematis Farm and the
McKinven farm, was famous for the view and was a popular spot for family outings. The farmer who owned it used to let Callum collect bottles from the property to turn in for cash. Callum remembers being enamored with the place even as a boy. “I told my dad I was saving the money so I could buy The Lookout one day,” he recalls. That dream took a backseat as Callum built his career in the cattle business. He worked for other people, including a job as herdsman at Crackholm Holsteins in Richmond, QC. Eventually, he married Kathy Beerwort, whom he had met when they were both in 4-H. Kathy grew up in a large family that had great success in the Holstein breed. They began farming together in 1988, and shared a passion for breeding and developing high-end show cattle. Like many young couples starting out, Callum and Kathy didn’t have much

Not pictured is Brooke, who was married in this same spot the following weekend. in the bank, but knew that hard work and expertise would be keys to their success. Over the years Callum had given people advice about buying cattle, and eventually, several of those people entered into partnerships with the couple. One partner that would be instrumental in the couple’s future was Gerald Halbach, a dentist from Arizona with a dairy background, who had bought several show animals with Callum’s input. Eventually, they owned cattle together, and had some show ring success with Garstlyn Encore Rip EX-95. By this time, Callum and Kathy and their three daughters, Tara, Brooke, and Alana, were farming in the Richmond/ Melbourne area. Gerald was touring Quebec in 2003 and thought he might like to own a place in the region. Callum told him that The Lookout was for sale. Gerald
didn’t know what the local landmark was, but thought they should go take a look. Although the property had deteriorated and was mainly trees with no view of the lake, they agreed to buy it and signed the papers the next morning. “Kathy & I built the house and bought the quota; Gerald bought the land; and we worked together building the barn. As long as we want to do this, Gerald has agreed to co-own it with us. He loves it. He comes up a couple times a year and stays in the apartment next to the barn and he enjoys that. Otherwise, as a young couple, we could never have got started here – building everything from scratch just the way we wanted,” Callum says appreciatively. “He gave me a lot of latitude from day one. I picked out the location of the barn in the woods that day. The house is where the old Lookout was.”
Callum shows off a postcard of the original Lookout taken in the 60’s.
It took some imagination to envision what could become of the property. “Jeff and Matt Mitchell from Tennessee were here the day we were going to sign the papers and I told them about the purchase. They said, ‘Are you crazy? You’re
going to buy up on that mountain?’,” Callum laughs. “Because you could see it from town and it was nothing but trees. I told them we had a vision of something!” They bought a total of 126 acres and began developing it into the property they had dreamed of. According to Callum, it wasn’t all roses and rainbows. “There were a few times when we were clearing the land and building that we wondered what we had gotten into. We look back and wonder how we did it – we put our other place up for sale and that took a year to sell; we were milking cows at a rented farm 45 minutes from here; we were building here, but still living in Richmond, so were driving the girls to school here in town; coming here to help with the construction – and that went on for four years!” But it all got built in time and the 30-cow tie-stall barn is a showplace for the show cattle that fill the stalls. Kathy and Alana, who has returned to the farm after getting her degree from McGill University, handle much of the day-to-day work with the cattle. Callum still travels the road quite a bit looking at cattle, and is often called away from the farm due to official judging responsibilities. Popular with exhibitors, he has judged hundreds of shows in over 30 countries around the world, and has judged every breed but Guernseys at World Dairy Expo. From the beginning of Lookout Farm, numerous All-American and AllCanadians of all breeds have graced the stalls. The McKinven family have COWSMOPOLITAN Fall Edition 2019 » 13
Just one of the many pastures that the heifers and springing cows can enjoy at Lookout Farm. had plenty of favorites, and a sampling includes: ›› MB Lucky Lady Feliz Navidad EX-93, AllAmerican & All-Canadian Jersey who was born at the farm as a calf and eventually they owned her with breeder Diane Borba, before she was sold to Rivendale Farms of Pennsylvania. The dam of Feliz, Marlau Comerica Fabienne EX-94, is currently pregnant and enjoying her time on the pastures at Lookout. A homebred Jersey sweetheart, Lookout Sweet Baby J, a VG89 2-year-old, was Reserve Intermediate Champion at World Dairy Expo in 2010, and twice Reserve All-Canadian. Her EX94 dam, Drentex Blackstar Baby J, was a long-time show ring veteran, and Reserve All-Canadian 4-Year-Old in 2008 before starting an impressive broodcow career.
›› Elmbridge FM Loveable Red EX-944E - twice Grand Champion at the RAWF Red & White Show and Reserve Grand Champion at the International Red & White Show in Madison – was owned with breeders Peter Tuytel & Nicole Parkinson. Her daughter, Lady In Red EX93-3E, herself a Grand Champion at the Royal, was another of Callum’s favorites in the barn. Early Holstein notables include Selbyvale Spirit Loggan EX-95-2E, several time AllCanadian nominee and ABF September Cheese EX-94, Reserve All-Canadian Junior 3-Year-Old in 2009. A recent crowd favorite, Garay Awesome Beauty VG88-2YR, All-Canadian and All-American Junior 2-Year-Old in 2018, sadly was lost this summer after calving. Co-cover girl
Mapleley Goldwyn Julia EX-94 will carry the farm banner to the fall shows as a 4-year-old, defending her All-American and All-Canadian Senior 3-Year-Old titles for owners Lookout, Frank & Diane Borba, Gerald Todd, and Elitehaven Genetics of Ireland. ›› The beautiful Brown Swiss on the cover is Iroquois Acres Jong Cali VG-89, the AllAmerican and All-Canadian Junior 3-YearOld in 2018. Owned by Jer-Lene Swiss (the Pacheco family) of Kerman, CA, Cali is boarded at Lookout and started off the 2019 show circuit winning the 4-year-old class at Supreme Laitiere and walking away with Reserve Grand Champion honors. Her fancy summer yearling is also at the farm and was Reserve Junior Champion at the Supreme Show as well.
You’ve got to have trust and have faith in the person, and you’ve got to be honest whether it’s good news or bad. If you’re the one taking care of the animals, you’ve got to give it your all. You’ve got to do everything for those animals. I won’t partner with just anybody. I’ll partner with people that I think have a passion for it and that I trust. And we try to partner with people that realize that every animal needs a price if somebody wants to buy her. I can’t afford to be in the collector business.
tThe 30-cow tie-stall barn is kept visitor-ready at all times! 14 « COWSMOPOLITAN Fall Edition 2019
Arethusa Whiskey Nordica, All-Canadian Junior Yearling and Reserve All-American Spring Yearling in 2015, and owned with Gerald Halbach and Sherri Hall, is another successful Brown Swiss show campaigner that resided at Lookout. ›› There’s also an Ayrshire in the barn! Margot Kanata, the All-Canadian Junior Calf in 2017, owned with Frank & Diane Borba and Jason Hebert, has calved in with an outstanding udder and is being pointed at the Junior 2-year-old classes this fall. Partnering on this caliber of cattle can be a tricky business, but the McKinvens have maintained long and happy relationships with almost all of their partners. Gerald Todd, Sr. from Tennessee has co-owned cattle with Callum since the 1990s, including Fruendly-Acres Linjet Murphy, who went on to score EX-96 for other owners. A relationship that grew beyond business, Callum refers to Gerald Todd as “one of my dearest friends and closest partners – a man who really loves cows.” Diane Borba was referred to him by her sister, Carol, when she was debating buying some animals on a sale. Callum, who was working the sale, advised against buying that day because the heifer wasn’t good enough for Diane’s expectations. Diane appreciated his honesty and now that burgeoning partnership has claimed plenty of purple ribbons in the show ring in the past few years. Callum does have some thoughts on why these pairings succeed. “You’ve got to
have trust and have faith in the person, and you’ve got to be honest whether it’s good news or bad. If you’re the one taking care of the animals, you’ve got to give it your all. You’ve got to do everything for those animals. I won’t partner with just anybody. I’ll partner with people that I think have a passion for it and that I trust. And we try to partner with people that realize that every animal needs a price if somebody wants to buy her. I can’t afford to be in the collector business.” Beyond the business aspect, the farm and cattle thrive from the attention of the close-knit family. “We’re very family-oriented and have partners that appreciate that. That’s important to me to make it successful. I couldn’t do what I do without Kathy and the girls,” notes Callum. As mentioned earlier, Alana, 23, is enjoying her full-time status on the farm. She loves taking cattle to the shows and has an impressive resume in showmanship competitions around the world. Tara, 28, is married to Steve Glaude, who works at Ferme Sejour. They live nearby and pitch in at the farm whenever time allows. Steve and Tara also own Glaustar Holsteins and Jerseys, that has already had early success in the show ring, including Glaustar Jacot Majesty Red VG-87-2Y, Reserve Intermediate Champion at Maxville B&W Spring Show and was Reserve All-American R&W Spring Yearling in 2018. Brooke, 25, married Matt Baillon at the end of August. Matt is employed at Shadowave Holsteins in Salisbury, New Brunswick, and Brooke
is a manager at the large garden market & store, Green Pig County Market, also in Salisbury. Both Tara and Brooke got married at the farm, putting the view and property to excellent use! The motivation and drive from Callum and Kathy’s early years together continue 31 years later. Though the milking barn is small by today’s standards, there are two coverall buildings that house some cattle, calves to care for, and over 150 head total on the land around the farm. The winters can be rough in Quebec and the family admits that this past year was a hard one with the amount of snow that accumulated. Alana remembers that even the walk from the barn to the house was rigorous. “I was shuffling along on my knees over the snow so I wouldn’t fall through. We had just gotten an Italian intern and she looked at me and said, ‘How do you do this? Farm like this?’, she laughs. “I told her it wasn’t always like this!” The summer months make up for the long winters. The elevation ensures that there’s always a breeze so the cattle can be outside all summer. The grass in the pastures is lush, and the heifers and dry cows have the run of the pastures neighboring the farm. The show heifers run up and down the hills in the woods by the house. It’s an ideal set up to raise cattle, and if you believe that beauty feeds the human soul, it’s an ideal place for the McKinvens go tvo work every day! By Kathleen O’Keefe

THEY DID IT AGAIN!
MORE HOLSTEIN HISTORY FROM THE AUDREY POSCH FAMILY
H
olstein history was made in Lancaster County, PA, on June 27, 2019, when Golden-Rose Barbritzi B-Red classified EX-90 with an EX-93 mammary system. The senior 3-year-old is the first in the world to become a 20th-generation Excellent cow in the Holstein breed. It happened one day before she and her herdmates were auctioned, along with the farm and equipment at the Legacy of Golden Rose Sale June 28. “Barbritzi going Excellent is the highlight of my career at the end of this chapter,” says her breeder, Rusty Herr. “It’s something that has been a goal of mine. But to do it with a cow that we bred and that my father owns and to have it be a Red, makes it so special.”
working with her. “This is one of the best outcomes that could have been,” says Herr. “Ferme Blondin does an incredible job with their cattle and their marketing, and they have the bull stud. I couldn’t ask for a better home for her. It will also be great for the people who bought into the family.”
Erica Lundberg of BertMar Farms, Osseo, WI, was contending bidder. Lundberg says she was Goldenb-Rose Barbritzi B-Red is the Holstein breed’s first 20th generation glad to see her go to Excellent and is backed by non other than the Audrey Posch family.

inducted into the Wisconsin Holstein Association Wall of Fame in March 2019. Nabholz also noted the impact of Apple on the sire side of Barbritzi’s dam, and the power of that mating in producing a Red in two generations able to accomplish the 20th generation EX milestone. The Red Barbwire was born just 10 days before Herr’s 2015 dispersal to downsize his herd into the newly constructed Canadianstyle tiestall barn, where his dream was to focus on and showcase genetics. Herr explains that being just a calf, with her dam unclassified and her third dam still at 88, the potential was there, but who knew how it would blossom? The little Barbwire calf was the first Red in the Pronto Ritzi family. Herr’s father, Karl, purchased her with Warren Buckman at the 2015 dispersal, so she stayed on the farm. Herr explains his strategy, putting emphasis on some luck along the way. He chose good proven bulls that complemented the dams to better odds in breeding that next generation of Excellent. Barbritzi’s EX-94 Absolute dam was a big part of the equation. GoldenRose Abs Ginger-ET had been purchased by Mike Garrow in the 2015 downsizing as a just-fresh unclassified two-year-old. Her Goldwyn dam, Goldrush, was EX-91 (EX-93 today), but her second dam, Shottle Royal, was VG-88 at that time (EX-91 2E today). Ginger scored VG-89 as a two-yearold, EX-92 as a three-year-old. She was then sold to Dick Witter and Ridgedale Holsteins, Sharon Springs, NY, where she went right to EX-94 after her third calf. “When we used Absolute (on Goldrush as a virgin heifer), it was intentional. We wanted to use a Red bull with good type,” Herr explains. “We had four Absolute daughters from that IVF round. Ginger was one of them.”
“All we did was breed Ginger to Barbwire sexed-semen as a virgin heifer, and her natural first calf was Barbritzi,” he recalls. Herr used high-type genomic bulls, but he points out that proven bulls Shottle, Goldwyn, Absolute and Barbwire were a big part of this accomplishment. “Things fell into place as they have all gone EX as three-yearolds in that line after Royal, and each one on a mating in the Holstein Association USA Classifier Brian Sparling with Barbritzi and Rusty previous generation on a virgin Herr. heifer,” Herr explains. “That’s ourselves, and I think about how this can how we had to do it to expedite things.” make us be better and become stronger This illustrates the strength of the cow and how we have each others’ backs. I families in this deep pedigree that goes have no regrets.” back through top breeders in various states adding to it along the way.
On the day before the sale, Holstein USA classifier Brian Sparling was thoroughly impressed with Barbritzi’s udder. “You don’t often see them this good,” said Sparling, praising her level udder floor and superior teat size, shape and placement. She was fresh in March with her second calf, milking over 100 pounds with a 5.7% fat test. When Sparling broke down her scores, the sale crew had begun to assemble, along with Herr’s parents and four children. There were plenty of smiles to carry the work into sale day. “The crowd we had for our sale -- and the number of buyers taking animals home -- shows us that good cows are still appreciated, and through all the numbers, indexes, genomics, good cows always rise to the top,” says Herr. “The number one thing in my mind is gratitude for support in the journey and lessons learned. In these hard times, we learn the most about
The number one thing in my mind is gratitude for support in the journey and lessons learned. In these hard times, we learn the most about ourselves, and I think about how this can make us be better and become stronger and how we have each others’ backs. I have no regrets. RUSTY HERR
While Barbritzi went to Ferme Blondin at $15,500, her yearling Avalanche heifer and Goldwyn grandam both went to new homes in PA -- the yearling to Joel Krall, Furnace Hills Holsteins, at $7700 and the grandam to Travis Zuck at $4200. Barbritzi’s Jordy calf was gaveled to James Hoffman of PA, at $3900. Second-high seller Golden-Rose Ladd Glory-Red VG-86, a Red Polled three-yearold backed by 19 generations EX, brought $12,000 to Glory Syndicate, MD. Third-high seller was Ms Apple All-In-ET EX-91 selling for $8400 to Sweet Peas Holsteins, PA. The sale of 123 live lots totaled $219,555 for an average $1785 per head with the top 12 averaging $6446. Many were purchased by individual breeders in Pennsylvania and surrounding states and some went as far as Iowa, Wisconsin, Texas and Canada. In addition, 13 embryo lots averaged $825 per embryo with Barbritzi’s embryos fetching $950 each and embryos from Glory going for $900 each. By Sherry Bunting

IF YOU’RE NOT MOVING FORWARD, YOU’RE GOING BACKWARDS UNIQUE VALLEYSTREAM GENETICS
G
iven their geographical location in northern Alberta, far from the more frequently trafficked roads in the dairy business, you’d understand if the Morey family of Unique Valleystream Jerseys were a little ‘old school’ or entrenched in the ‘it’s the way we’ve always done it’ mentality. Instead, this operation located 24 hours from Madison, Wisconsin and 34 hours from Toronto, Ontario is one of the most forward thinking establishments that you’ll ever run across in North America! From its inception 27 years ago, initially as Unique Stock Farm, Unique Valleystream Genetics has been a site of constant change and improvement. David and Tracy Morey were a young couple with professional careers in 1992 when the opportunity arose to purchase David’s home farm. It’s not easy now, and it wasn’t easy then to buy into a dairy operation, but they managed it by both holding onto their outside jobs and being very creative with the bank. They started with 46 grade Holstein milk cows and 480 acres. Within a few years, the Moreys grew the herd to 70 head and again to 120 cows, so that both David and Tracy could work on the farm full-time. Once the farm was their complete focus, they also began the journey of raising their children, daughter Casey and son Lee, on the farm as well.
The little brown cows worked their way onto the farm by 1999, when the herd was about a 50/50 mix of Holsteins and Jerseys. The breed won over the Moreys who appreciated their feed efficiency, herd life, reproduction, and overall economics of production. In 2000, the fortuitous purchase of a heifer named Lencrest Par for Belle launched them into the genetic business. The VG Paramount great granddaughter of the legendary Duncan Belle EX-95, put four sons into A.I. and was the #1 LPI Jersey cow in Canada for a record 4 ½ years. The emphasis shifted to building an entirely Jersey herd, and an expansion to 250 cows in 2003 opened the door to adding superior genetics from other herds. The Moreys added six full complete registered Jersey herds and two partially dispersed herds from other provinces in Canada. That was the start of the genetic component at the locale as they added a tie-stall facility to the freestall operation. In 2004, a big part of that Jersey future was consolidated when they purchased the well-known Valleystream herd bred and developed by John and June White from St. Thomas, Ontario. They bought and moved the entire herd to Alberta, and purchased the herd name at the same time. Once those cows were in place, Unique Valleystream Genetics was born, eventually becoming Canada’s largest purebred Jersey herd. Over the years, the breeding program has shifted focus from a strictly type perspective to breeding a more

A cow can be profitable in the show ring, on the embryo market or being a bull mother, but the only constant for income from a cow is in the milk tank. So in our breeding program, that is our first priority. Our goal is to make the cow that can stand on the top of the genomic and productive lists and also stand in the middle of the ring at the show,” explains Dave. A favorite in the herd that fits the ‘balanced’ bill is Redhot Matt Tesla. A Wilsonview IF Matt daughter from a deep Avonlea cow family that the Moreys have worked with extensively, Tesla was the #1 Conformation cow while also being the #3 GLPI and #4 Pro$ cow in Canada. Max scored at VG-89, she made over 29,000M 1731F and 1148P as a 3-year-old with a BCA of 458-492-475. Another notable cow that has established herself as a cornerstone of the herd came with the Valleystream purchase. Valleystream Remake Honey EX-92 was nominated for Jersey Cow of the Year in Canada, had a successful show career in Western Canada show rings, received Gold and Platinum production awards, and placed several sons in A.I. At 17 years old,

she is still being IVF’d on a regular basis at City Slickers LLC in Wisconsin. Her Irwin daughter, Unique HP Irwin Hocus EX-92 2E, won the 5-year-old class at the Westerner Dairy Showcase in 2018 and her Wildcat son, Unique HP Hellcat, is seeing solid use in the lineup at Select Sires. With bulls in stud and cows at the top of the lists, it’s obvious that the use of genomics has been fully adopted at Unique Valleystream. Lee emphasizes its importance in the breeding program, “Genomics has played a huge role in our mating decisions. We’ve introduced a protocol that every calf gets genomic tested and we hope that in another 5 years, that the whole herd will be tested. It will become a more reliable system to select embryo recipients in the herd and to identify our top 15% donor dam group. When looking at genomic numbers, some minimums we look at are: +100 CFP, +15 JUI or +9 Conformation, +180 JPI or +1950 GLPI. On matings, we use 80% genomic young sires and 20% proven bulls. The few proven bulls we still use are Steve, Matt, and Chrome.”
The farm is undergoing a generational change as well. Casey finished a degree in Agribusiness from the University of Alberta, and Lee earned an Agribusiness diploma from Lakeland College. Both have traveled the world – Casey through 4-H, including a stint as a Board Member with 4-H Canada; and Lee as a cattle fitter at shows and sales. Both returned to the farm in 2015, where they were required to be employees for 24 months before making a commitment for ownership. They both chose an ownership role in November 2018, so the transition process has begun. Everyone has found their roles on the farm. David now manages all nutrition, feeding, and cropping for the now 3200 acres which produces all the forage for the herd. Tracy is the general manager of the barn, handles HR duties, oversees calf raising, and is the comptroller as well as the AI technician in the freestall facility. Casey manages the robotic freestall facility and staff, and directs all SOP/Canadian Quality Milk/ ProAction/Flush records. Lee manages the high genetic cattle and tiestall barn as well as the entire breeding program, directs the marketing, and oversees maintenance of the facilities. The family has anywhere from 3 to 7 employees depending on the time
Things keep moving forward on the management side as well. In 2011, with Casey and Lee heading off to postsecondary school, the family decided to make the leap to robotic milking. Three Lely robots and a pack barn were added followed by a conversion of the tiestall barn in 2014. In 2017, a small expansion of 50 cows brought the herd size to 300 milking cows and a new maternity barn was built. The herd is on official test and continues to classify, with a current herd breakdown of 7 ME, 28 EX, 89 VG, 133 GP, 20 G.

of year. “Most of our staff are foreign-born workers. The majority have the Philippines as their homeland, but recently, we have added some Mexican staff members. Many have become Permanent Residents of Canada, and we are quite proud of assisting so many people to improve their and their families’ quality of life by making Canada their new home,” declares Casey. With more help at home, David was able to be more involved with outside organizations including Jersey Canada, where he just finished his term as President earlier this year. The whole family played host for the Jersey AGM held in Westlock, AB in April 2019, where Lee was presented with Jersey Canada’s Youth of Distinction Award. Ever on the lookout for new opportunities, Unique Valleystream Genetics has entered into a partnership with Dr. David Chalack and Prospect Land and Cattle Co. With Lee at the helm of the project, they have secured the largest Jersey embryo contract to ever cross the registry desk at Jersey Canada. It’s in keeping with Lee’s thoughts about the future. “The Jersey breed will continue to grow rapidly if we continue to provide a modern, economical cow for producers. The future of breeders will depend, as it always has, on how well we adjust to meet these growing markets, “ he observes. As you enter the barn at Unique you are greeted with the farm slogan, ‘Unique…it’s more than a name…it’s an attitude!’ The sign could not be more fitting for the Morey family, whose attitude is propelling them forward into a promising future!

ONTARIO STATE HERDS THE LEAD-OUT YEARS AT EXPO
F
or show enthusiasts, the lead-out era of the State Herd class at World Dairy Expo’s Holstein Show in Madison, WI, remains one of the event’s most cherished memories. For the first 27 years of Expo’s 52-year history, 1967 through 1993, the lead-out class was the exciting climax of the Holstein Show, with sometimes more than a dozen entries filling the ring. In 1976, a group of showmen from Ontario, dressed in distinctive bright ‘red shirts’, took first place in the State Herd class. It would be the first of 20 State Herd victories for the exhibitors from this Canadian province. Ontario won the State Herd class 14 times when it was a leadout event (1976-80-81-82-83-84-85-8687-88-89-91-92-93). They have won it six more times (1994 through 1999) since it became a non-lead-out competition and the winner was determined by a points system.
1953-67 and then returned to Canada to become part of the Brubacher Bros. Ltd. auction sales business, was at those first two shows. Lowell Lindsay of Ariss, ON, now retired sire analyst for Semex, was an AI technician at the time. He well recalls Brubacher telling him and others after the 1968 show, “Boys, you got to go to Madison. This is going to be a great show!” In 1969, Brubacher and Lindsay traveled to Expo together on a county Holstein club plane trip. Lindsay met many people at Madison. He returned to Expo the following year and has attended Expo every year since. Positive reports from Lindsay and others about those early Expos, and the success of Canadian AI unit bull daughters in the shows, soon prompted Canadian AI companies to start having booths at Expo in the 1970s. While a few more Ontario Holstein breeders were showing at Expo by the
World Dairy Expo made its debut in 1967. The first Holstein showstrings from “We were all writing the playbook because Ontario began going to Expo in 1968, with Agro Bros. and R.J. Stewart among this had never been done before as a group. the initial exhibitors. Canadian Ray JANE WHALEY, FORMER HOLSTEIN CANADA PROMOTIONS MANAGER Brubacher, who had been herd manager at Lakeside Farms in Wisconsin from
early 1970s, Lowell Lindsay realized that many more exhibitors ‘were missing the boat’ by not being there. Many American showmen knew about the good show cattle to be found in Ontario and had already traveled to the province to buy animals for their showstrings. Feeling Ontario cattle could be pretty successful in their own right if they went to Madison, Lowell Lindsay, James A. ‘Jim’ Walker of Walkerbrae Farms, Guelph, ON, WestCentral Ontario Holstein Fieldman Joe Snyder (later Ontario Holstein Branch Secretary-Manager from 1980-93), and then Holstein Canada Promotions Manager Jane Whaley put the wheels in motion to formally organize a group of Ontario breeders to go together to World Dairy Expo in 1976. It would mark the first time that a large delegation of Ontario cattle had gone and tied together in Madison. It took a ‘team effort’ to put those initial Ontario groups and State Herds together stress Lindsay and Walker. While it was an Ontario project, the effort was fully supported by Holstein Canada. Lindsay and Walker talked to breeders about the value of sending their animals to Madison and did the advance checking and selection of the animals who would be part of the exhibit. Whaley handled many of the administrative duties and organized the trucks for the first trip. “The guys kept telling me ‘Don’t get pots. We

Helping with that first exhibit, from left were, front: Tom Rowntree, Jim Davidson, Jack Treadway, Jack Fraser; second row: Jim Fraser, Bob Flett, Jim Walker; and third row: John Buckley, Lowell Lindsay, Frank Meisner and Doug Brown. One of the most impressive classes at World Dairy Expo from 196793 was the lead-out class of State Herds.

don’t want pots.’ I didn’t have a clue what they meant, but I figured it out,” laughs Whaley now. Joe Snyder, and his successor Bill Dobbin, lent valuable support in looking after many details and ensuring the exhibits secured financial grants and assistance to help with expenses and pay for the reception/party held after the show. As Whaley says, “We were all writing the playbook because this had never been done before as a group. We were writing the playbook for the future and that is why it kept getting better and better.”
could get enough people to go, and we did well enough, we could have a State Herd. And then if we had a State Herd we decided we needed to do something different. That is where the ‘red shirt’ idea started.” “I found the red shirts at a Zellers store in Hamilton,” says Whaley. “I called Lowell and he came down and looked at them. We bought all we could get but still needed more.” Lindsay continues, “I had to run around to at least four or five more Zellers stores in places like Orangeville, Kitchener and Stoney Creek to get the rest. We wanted to keep this thing quiet.
that group were the trio of cows who had finished one-two-three in the mature cows. Winning that class, and becoming Canada’s first Grand Champion Holstein female and Supreme Champion at Expo, was Theynor Hagen Cindy from T. Robert Flett. Winchester Marquis Topsy, who was the show’s Reserve Grand Champion for Rowntree Farms, placed second, while in third was Spring Farm Citation Rosetta from Spring Farms.
Ontario’s red shirts became a trademark during the State Herd lead-out years. Only once did a ‘pink’ shirt make its way into “We loaded the cattle at the Brubacher the Ontario line-up. As the story goes, Sale Arena in Guelph that first year,” R. Peter Heffering of Hanover Hill recalls Walker. Once in Madison, Holsteins wore a red shirt in 1976, “Our main goal of going to Madison was never the the Ontario cattle tied together in but the shirt didn’t fit properly and State Herd,” says Lindsay. “It was simply to get a few he swore never to wear it again. one of the front barns on the Expo grounds. They didn’t take much in cattle there. But along the line it evolved to the fact that When Ontario won the State Herd if we could get enough people to go, and we did well the way of decorations and had to class in 1980, Heffering took some enough, we could have a State Herd. figure out where and how to rent good-natured ribbing for the ‘pink’ tables and plants for the booth. shirt he was pictured in.

Walker’s oldest son Brent adds, “It got so that other American exhibitors liked to tie in the Canadian barn because there was a lot of traffic in that barn.” As Ontario Holstein exhibitors began taking more showstrings of their own to Madison, the Ontario group exhibit was eventually phased out. Even when the Ontario cattle were not in one group, Lowell Lindsay, Jim Walker and Joe Snyder/Bill Dobbin continued to draw up the final list of animals that would make up the Ontario State Herd entry. A State Herd consists of eight animals: three cows, three heifers, and two animals of any age. Animals must be housed in the state or province for which they are being entered, and owned by not less than three exhibitors, with no exhibitor furnishing more than three animals. Holstein Canada gave a $1000 grant to the provinces that showed a State Herd during the lead-out years and provided other financial assistance to help offset exhibitors’ expenses. “There was always a lot of jockeying as to who would fit and who was eligible for the State Herds as a result of the rules,” says Lindsay. In addition to utilizing high placing animals, the ‘uniformity’ of the group was also very important during those lead-out years. “At Canadian judging schools we always talked about the importance of uniformity when judging groups,” says Lindsay, “and there were times when we didn’t use a prize winner in the State Herd for the sake of uniformity.” The power, quality and uniformity of those Ontario lead-out herds always made them a formidable competitor. “The quality of the cattle, and the professionalism of the leadsmen, gave them such a ‘presence’ in the ring and made them a sight to behold,” says Jane Whaley. A long list of great cows and heifers appeared in those winning lead-out Ontario State Herds. The most famous was Brookview Tony Charity, Expo’s only four-time Supreme Champion. This American-bred, but Canadian-owned cow anchored the winning Ontario State Herds in 1982, 1984, 1985 and 1987 when she was Grand Champion at Madison. Other Expo Grand Champions to put Ontario at the top of the lead-out State Herd classes were J-WS Monitor Racheal in 1981 and Cathland Lilac in 1988, and Reserve Grand Champions JPG Standout Kandy in 1981, Racheal in 1982, Du-Ma-Ti 50 « COWSMOPOLITAN Fall Edition 2019

The success of the Ontario State Herds did not go unnoticed. “As the years went on people across Canada became much more aware of what the Ontario State Herds had accomplished and how much benefit it was,” says Lindsay. “People started asking ‘Are you going to Madison?’ ‘What about this Madison Show?’ We saw more and more Canadian people make the trip every year to Expo.” As Whaley states, “Everyone was going down just to see how well the Canadians would do. We were so proud as Canadians of this Ontario group. All of Canada embraced these guys in Madison, just like the Toronto Raptors basketball team was embraced by all of Canada this spring.” While Ontario’s Expo achievements were a great promotion for ‘Ontario’ cattle, it soon became evident that their presence signified something far greater… they were representing ‘Canada’ and ‘Canadian Holsteins’. As Lowell Lindsay says, “People began to realize that the guys from Ontario were doing a great job and they became more appreciative that this project was really about promoting ‘Canadian’ Holsteins.” That ‘Canadian’ presence was further bolstered when Holstein breeders from Alberta started exhibiting at Expo in 1980, followed by
Quebec in 1982, and then the Atlantic and other Western Canada provinces in the 1990s. Showing at Expo has been a great marketing tool for Canadians and Canadian Holsteins says Lindsay. “There are many Canadian breeders who have sold embryos and cattle as a result of the connections and people they have met from the United States and other foreign countries while showing animals at Madison. It has also been a huge boost for Canadian AI units and their products.” Brent Walker agrees. “Because of our State Herd success, more Americans came to Canada to buy a show heifer or cow. It brought buyers to our spring sales. It helped a lot of breeders market animals who didn’t even go to Madison.” Canadian Holstein breeders are very appreciative of the opportunity they have had to exhibit at World Dairy Expo. They are grateful for the many lifelong business and personal relationships they have developed with American showmen because of their Expo participation. As Lowell Lindsay points out, “While we are very proud to have won those State Herd classes, we are also very aware of the fact that we are guests at World Dairy Expo. We are very fortunate to be able to bring our cattle to Madison, exhibit them, and be recognized for that. Expo, with the exception of a few years, draws participants from Canada and the United States, and sometimes owners from other countries who have partnerships in cattle. The show has evolved into not only the best of Canada and the United States, but the best of the world. Today World Dairy Expo is a family.” By Bonnie Cooper

Hello, I am Carter Espinoza from MN. I have been involved in the dairy industry for fourteen years through showing, dairy judging, and working on dairy farms. My family on both of my parent’s sides of the family have a lot of history and experience working with dairy cattle. My parents have been the biggest supporters of me working with dairy cattle. We have even started our own herd of dairy cattle with a few Red and White Holsteins. I have loved working with our herd of cattle and trying to breed for a better generation of cattle. I am currently attending South Dakota State University and Majoring Dairy Production and minoring in Spanish and Animal Science. I am hoping to work in dairy genetics after graduating college. I believe that with my experience and studying, I can get a job that works with what I am passionate about.
- Kylie Nickels -
My name is Kylie Nickels and I am the sixth generation to live on our family farm located in Watertown, WI. Although my parents sold their milking herd before I was born, I grew up having a desire and passion for the dairy industry. In 2012, my brother and I, along with the help of our parents, updated our facilities and established a small boarding business, DreamFix Boarding. This has allowed me the experience to not only work with high quality animals, but also learn and adopt important communication skills, keep exceptional organization, and the ability to work with others on a daily basis. Aside from the business, my brother and I have purchased numerous red and whites that we were able to exhibit at district, state, and national levels. This fall I will be furthering my education at the University of Wisconsin-Madison where I will be studying Dairy Science with a minor in Ag. Business.
- Katelyn Nolt -
My name is Katelyn Nolt. I grew up on my family’s eighty cow dairy in Northern Pennsylvania. We milked mostly black and white Holsteins but we always had some jerseys and reds to make the farm a little more exciting. On my third birthday my parents surprised me with a red and white calf and from then on, my love for the breed has done nothing but grown. Two years ago, my parents made the decision to sell our family farm and move to Texas. However, I am blessed to still have a few cows and heifers from my cow family and continue to show at local, state, and national levels. I am currently furthering my education at Oklahoma State University where I study Animal Science with a minor in Agricultural Economics. Following graduation, I plan to pursue a career in dairy nutrition or reproduction.

SMALL NUMBERS, BIG RESULTS! SCENIC-EDGE HOLSTEINS
T
he power of a focused vision and consistent breeding goals can yield impressive results, no matter how big or small the herd. The proof is in the pudding with the ScenicEdge partnership in Plymouth, WI. The brother/sister team of Rodney Bohnhoff and Yvonne Preder keep the herd small - 4 cows and 6 heifers presently - but deliver outstanding results in the show ring year after year. The partnership including Rodney, Yvonne, and Yvonne’s late husband, David Preder, began in the late 1990s when they decided to buy and develop a few nice show heifers. The early purchases of two full sisters by Red Marker out of an EX-90 Dubras Promotion-Red would prove instrumental for the Scenic-Edge prefix. Twenty years later, that decision is still paying off as the vast majority of Scenic-Edge-bred cattle whose names
are announced as winners at a show trace back to Howard-Home Mkr JenaRed-ET VG-86. Jena, as the foundation of the “J” family, transmitted remarkably, leading to 31 All-American Red & White nominations, resulting in 9 All-Americans, 6 Reserve All-Americans, and 11 Junior AllAmericans. Joyful, Jellybean, and Jolynn are just a few of the well-known names that garnered Unanimous All-American Red & White honors in the past two decades - most often exhibited by other owners. Jena was massive, rugged, and a prolific flush cow - the ‘Red Chicken’, Yvonne called her - and eventually had over 40 daughters by 14 different sires across the United States. The milking members of the Scenic-Edge herd are housed at Lyn-Vale Holsteins, a 75-cow tie stall operation owned by William Schultz III in nearby Waldo, WI.
Watching junior members be successful with our breeding is pure joy and happiness. Stephanie’s success with Joyful exploded this family’s popularity without that, a lot of this would have never happened to this degree. YVONNE PREDER

Schultz is also Yvonne’s employer, as she works at the farm as herd manager and oversees the genetics and marketing. Schultz admired the Jena family, and early on purchased September Storm embryos from the matriarch. One of those eggs resulted in Scenic-Edge SS Reba-Red-ET, the All-American R&W Fall Calf in 2004 that went on to be an Excellent cow. Undoubtedly, the most famous daughter of Jena was another September Storm, Scenic-Edge Joyful-Red-ET EX-92 2E, who was the Unanimous All-American R&W Senior 2-Year-Old in 2008. Owned by Stephanie Aves, Joyful was named Supreme Champion of the Junior Show at World Dairy Expo in 2008. The image of the big red cow accompanied by her young owner flashing a megawatt smile after the big win really catapulted the family to prominence. Seeing Stephanie’s success with Joyful cemented Yvonne’s belief in putting outstanding cattle in the hands of junior members. “Breeding one that can hit the road running is a great satisfaction to us. Watching junior members be successful with our breeding is pure joy and happiness. Stephanie’s success with Joyful exploded this family’s popularity without that, a lot of this would have never happened to this degree,” comments Yvonne. “Watching junior exhibitors have success and seeing them write their own stories is utterly magnificent!” The partners have more junior members to keep an eye on in 2019. They sold a Jordy-Red summer yearling in the Quest for Success IV Sale in March that was purchased by Ty, Jacey & Hadley Ross, whose family owns Arizona Dairy Company in Mesa, AZ. Scenic-Edge Jordan-Red has dominated in the show ring out west, being named Junior Champion of the Junior and Open Shows in both the Red & White and Holstein rings at the California State Holstein Show and Western Spring National Show. Just recently, she took Junior Champion honors in the Junior and Open Shows at the Western Fall National
Show in Salem, OR. She’s a culmination of years of thoughtful mating choices Jordy X EX Heztry X VG-88 Maxwell X EX-94 Advent X EX-93 September Storm X VG-86 Jena. Many of the cows in her pedigree had notable show careers and All-American awards, so it’s not surprising to see Jordan’s success. Something more surprising in today’s show ring environment is that Jordan is a natural calf, as are her dam, grandam, and great grandam. Due to the size and space constraints on the Scenic-Edge herd, the partners do only a minimum amount of flushing. “Many would think that we do extensive flushing, but actually we don’t unless we have the opportunity to sell embryos, or if it’s a really special cow. Flushing is like a revolving door. First, you flush the cow, then you need recipients. Then you need a facility to raise the recipients and buy the feed to feed them, on and on. It doesn’t really fit with the scope of our operation,” states Yvonne. With that said, they did flush Jordan’s EX dam, Jasmine, once and now are awaiting full sisters to be born. Currently dry, Jasmine is due in late fall to Warrior-Red, and that natural calf is eagerly anticipated as well.
Hadley Ross with Scenic-Edge Jordan-Red, grandparents Logan, Jacob & Madison Harbaugh with RollNView Justin & Donnie Stewart, and the collection of banners from Jump4Fun-Red-ET, Junior Champion at numerous shows the California State Show. this summer! Jacob, Logan, and Madison Harbaugh of Marion, WI, are more juniors enjoying their outings with a Jena family member this year. Bill Schultz purchased Avalanche embryos out of St-Yle-SA JumpN4Joy-Red, the EX-94 Advent daughter of Joyful. One resulting heifer calf also sold in the Quest for Success IV Sale, where she was purchased by the Harbaugh kids.

At Scenic-Edge, we laid the foundation of the Jena family, and have had the wonderful opportunity to see others jump on the bus to take the ride with Red & Whites.

Red & White Show earlier this summer. With the emphasis on maintaining a small herd size, Yvonne and Rodney have always merchandised their cattle extensively. “We started down the road of red genetics in the ‘90s, and from that point forward, people have looked for the Scenic-Edge name to appear on a pedigree in a consignment sale or call us privately looking for one to show,” notes Yvonne. “Sales, shows, select print advertising, and social media postings help us market our genetics, and we’re always willing to part with our best.” Rodney and Yvonne see cattle similarly and are in agreement with the focus of their breeding program. Yvonne elaborates, “Our mating decisions are based primarily on type. We do keep an eye on extremes in a bull’s breakdown. We want to make sure we are working with bulls from deep cow families that classify high and produce a lot of highcomponent milk. We really try to stick to red bulls, but will use a red factor bull if he complements the individual female.” That defined focus and vision has seen the Scenic-Edge prefix noted at the top of many, many show reports over the past 20 years, and Yvonne feels confident that can carry on into the future. “At ScenicEdge, we laid the foundation of the Jena family, and have had the wonderful opportunity to see others jump on the bus to take the ride with Red & Whites. We will continue to breed, develop, and sell some of our best genetics and hopefully will continue to watch others write their success stories. Why? Because we think the “J’s” still have it!”

Healthline
INTRANASAL VACCINES PROVIDE LONG-TERM PAYOFF A newborn calf faces many challenges. It is born into an environment populated by bacteria, viruses and parasites. The calf uses its immune system to resist invasion from these infectious agents. However, a neonatal calf has an immature immune system, which can take six months, or more, to fully mature. Antibodies are not absorbed across the placenta because of the multiple tissue layers between the blood supply to the placenta and uterus. Thus, calves must absorb antibodies found in colostrum for early-life immunity against diseases. Without vaccinations, calves are reliant on passive immunity from maternal antibodies for disease protection they receive through their mother’s colostrum. Failure to absorb an adequate amount of immunoglobulin (IgG) antibodies is known as failure of passive transfer. Calves that do not absorb adequate IgG antibodies have lower weight gain, increased risk for disease and decreased milk production. Maternal protection is limited by the intake and quality of colostrum. Feeding four quarts of high-quality colostrum within four to six hours of birth is important for healthy calves. Colostrum contains growth factors, hormones and other biologically active factors that positively impact the development of the digestive tract. BUILD IMMUNITY BEFORE A DISEASE CHALLENGE Since a calf’s immune system has “no memory,” it does not respond well when faced with a disease challenge. Maternal antibodies from colostrum are essential to protect the newborn for at least the first two to four months of life. However, these maternal antibodies can interfere with a calf’s ability to respond immunologically to traditionally administered vaccines. A well-executed vaccination program is important so that an immune response can be developed before animals face disease challenges. For decades we assumed maternal antibodies would neutralize antigens introduced from vaccination. This process is referred to as maternal antibody interference. Injectable vaccines deliver a modified virus that presents a challenge to help an animal start building its own immunity against a disease. While this is very effective in older animals, these vaccines may be less effective in young calves. Colostral antibodies may bind with vaccine antigens, which reduce their ability to create a normal immune response. INTRANASAL VACCINATION OFFERS FAST PROTECTION To avoid the influence of maternal antibodies, intranasal vaccines can be used to vaccinate young calves to reduce the risk of respiratory diseases. Intranasal vaccines are able to put protective immunity in place within three to four days of vaccination and stimulate nonspecific immunity at the mucosal 64 « COWSMOPOLITAN Fall Edition 2019
surfaces that help to provide protection against pathogens found in the vaccine. Intranasal vaccines are effective in young calves because the antigen is introduced in close proximity to the mucosal surfaces that are loaded with immunologically active tissues. This provides more assurance calves will be capable of By Scott Nordstrom, D.V.M., handling exposure to infectious Associate Director of agents. Ruminant Life Cycle Management, The new gold standard for young Merck Animal Health calf care includes administering intranasal vaccines during the first few days of its life and following up with a booster dose at approximately 6 weeks of age. Following the twostep intranasal vaccination process with a broader-spectrum injectable vaccine when calves are approximately 4 months old provides two layers of defense. Previously, we relied on maternal antibodies as the sole protection against early diseases like scours and pneumonia. Now that we know intranasal vaccines stimulate an immune response in young animals, dairies can provide protection through the critical neonatal period. A calf’s best defense against disease is making sure proper animal husbandry processes are in place, proper colostrum is delivered and then waiting until calves are a few months old to vaccinate. Practices such as cleanliness and separating challenged animals remain important to a young calf’s survival. IMMUNE MEMORY IS A POWERFUL TOOL Through the use of vaccines, the immune system recognizes an antigen an animal has previously encountered and initiates a combative response to enhance herd disease protection. Building an immune memory provides animal caretakers with a valuable and powerful way to enhance disease protection. By extending the window in which a calf produces antigens similar to those in maternal antibodies, dairy producers can shorten the time that calves are susceptible to disease threats. Building a robust immune system improves the health and future of the dairy herd. Talk with your veterinarian to determine if intranasal vaccination is right for your operation.

SELL YOUR BEST AND THEN BREED MORE!
T
he Wolf family, owners and operators of Old Bankston Ayrshires in Epworth, IA, keep their eyes on the biggest prizes in the Ayrshire show ring. Over the past 10 years, they have bred, owned, or sold 25 All-Americans, 18 Reserve All-Americans – 85 total AllAmerican nominations in all. Add to that, 5 All-Canadians, 3 more nominated AllCanadian, and 5 cows that have achieved the breed maximum classification score of EX-94, and it’s evident that there’s a very successful formula brewing at Old Bankston! Many of those achievements have been with animals owned in partnership – usually long-term partners that have teamed up with the Wolfs year after year. That’s not always easy to do in this business, so we sat down with Kurt Wolf and his wife, Michelle, to gain some insights on their impressive decade of results. Married in September 2018, the couple had previously dated for two years, after meeting at the Ohio Spring Show in 2015. Kurt, now 31, was showing a stylish summer yearling that Michelle, now 29, decided she needed to own. Old Bankston JC Malibu did lots of winning that year and traveled with the Old Bankston show string to World Dairy Expo and NAILE, after which Kurt
and Michelle began dating. Daughters of Malibu went on to be named AllAmerican and Reserve All-American, while Kurt & Michelle eventually got married, so that Spring Show purchase led to happy endings all around! The Wolf family has been working their 400-acre farm for almost 100 years. Located where the town of Bankston used to be settled before the community up and moved two miles down the road, geography is the source of the ‘Old Bankston’ prefix. The 250-cow herd is primarily commercial Holsteins along with 40 Ayrshires and 4 Milking Shorthorns. Like many successful family operations, much of the labor is sourced close to home. Kurt’s dad, Jim, and brother, Ted, work on the farm full-time. Ted’s wife, Katie, an embryologist with Trans Ova, helps out when time allows. Another brother, Scott, works construction and also part-time at the farm, and is instrumental in the calf-raising. After several years on the road working as a sale and show fitter, Kurt took a full-time job breeding cows for Cannon ABS five years ago. He puts in three to five hours at the farm every day, in between his time spent with customers that are spread over a two-county area. Michelle works off the farm for Tomy International, and spends much of her spare time working with the show cattle. “It’s all a team effort. We take the cattle to the shows and do the fine tuning, and they do the day-to-day things with the animals that are maybe a year away and raising the calves to the point to

Steam-Valley Wilton Magic Bri EX-94 was Grand Champion at and World Dairy Expo in 2011 and the Royal in 2011 & 2013. where we can do our thing with them,” comments Kurt. Michelle agrees, “If they didn’t do what they did, we wouldn’t be able to do our thing at the shows!” And doing their thing at the shows is what has garnered Old Bankston plenty of headlines over the past ten years. Past National Show Grand Champions include: Steam-Valley Wilton Magic Bri EX-94 - Grand Champion at World Dairy Expo in 2011 and at the Royal Winter Fair in 2011 & 2013; Sharwards Calimero Megan EX-94, Grand Champion at NAILE in 2013 and Reserve Grand Champion at World Dairy Expo in 2012. Their first homebred Excellent cow, Old Bankston Wandering Meg EX-90, has had a couple of daughters nominated All-American. Another homebred, Old-Bankston Ristorn Shawn EX-94, was twice HM AllAmerican and was the breed’s youngest cow to ever classify EX-94 at 3-11. Many of these accomplishments have happened along with their valued partners. Michelle accentuates the importance of trust in these long-term
It’s all a team effort. We take the cattle to the shows and do the fine tuning, and they do the day-to-day things with the animals that are maybe a year away and raising the calves to the point to where we can do our thing with them KURT WOLF ON THE FAMILY DYNAMIC AT OLD BANKSTON
partnerships. “The partnership cattle we plan on showing are all housed with us. Our partners trust us to do the day-to-day work with the show animals and know that we try our best to get everything out and looking great for a show. We are very fortunate to work with some really great people” she says.
money back – whether that’s in trying to resell her in the same season or we’re going to flush her and try to sell calves,” emphasizes Kurt.
John Cannon, whose Sco-Lo prefix is well-known in Holstein show rings, has partnered with Kurt on animals for years, including the Expo Grand Champion, Steam-Valley Wilton Magic Bri. His initials, JC, is contained in the name of many Old Bankston-bred animals as cobreeder, such as Old-Bankston JC Bri’s Bikini EX-93, who holds the record for highest-selling Ayrshire at U.S. public auction for $25,000; and Old-Bankston JC Banner, All-American Spring Calf in 2017 and HM All-American Spring Yearling in 2018.
The Wolfs and their partners and friends have hosted the Spring Fling Tag Sales in 2017 and 2018 – one averaged $4,800 and one over $5,000. Kurt and his partners have never been shy about consigning cattle to sales or selling cattle privately. According to Kurt, that’s really at the heart of the entire vision for their breeding and merchandising program. “We’re not collectors. We always try to sell our best. We’ll sell them, and then we’ll go looking to buy something good. Every year we try to buy something new from a cow family that we don’t have – something unique. We avoid families that have flooded the market; you’ve got to try to have something that no one else has.”
Banner is a good example of how the partnerships remain successful and intact. A granddaughter of Magic Bri, she was sold as a calf to Glamourview of Walkersville, MD, who campaigned her as a calf and heifer, and she recently was named Grand Champion for them at the Maryland State Fair. “We buy animals with people that have the same goals as we do - that aren’t afraid to sell, that aren’t afraid to keep moving forward. We have a plan in mind when we buy them on how we’re going to get our
Last year, they took some of that sale money and, along with partners, bought two head from Palmyra Ayrshires in Maryland that tied into the family of Palmyra Berkely P Ruth EX-94, the twotime Grand Champion at World Dairy Expo. Palmyra Shockwave BP Rosy EX-93, out of a full sister to Ruth, was All-American Senior 3-Year-Old and Reserve Intermediate Champion at the International Ayrshire Show in the fall. Palmyra Predator B Ruthless, a daughter of Ruth, was recently 1st spring yearling
We’re not collectors. We always try to sell our best. We’ll sell them, and then we’ll go looking to buy something good. Every year we try to buy something new from a cow family that we don’t have – something unique.
Old-Bankston JC Banner was named Grand Champion at the 2019 Maryland State Fair for new owner, Glamourview. and Junior Champion at the 2019 Minnesota State Fair Ayrshire show. Another purchase, Stil-Dreamn Vicking Cactus-ET, became the Reserve AllAmerican Milking Yearling in 2018. It might seem daunting to some to keep selling the very best from the heart of your herd, but Kurt thinks that’s the key to spread the popularity of Ayrshires. “We want to keep developing these cow families - make some calves and get them into other Ayrshire breeders’ herds. The only way for the breed to improve is to get good animals and not be afraid to sell your best ones. No one wants to buy your second, third, or fourth string. If I can’t breed another one as good as the one we’ve got, then I really don’t deserve the one we have. Keep the factory and sell the babies!” That’s pretty good advice from a family that has walked the walk - they bred, owned, or sold animals that achieved 18 All-American nominations in 2018. They kept a few and sold more…a pretty sound business plan for working with high-end show cattle! By Kathleen O’Keefe

The Elite Dairy Complete Dispersal Sale was held at the farm in Copake, NY, with a huge crowd in attendance to celebrate the dynamic partnership of Peter Vail and Ken Main. The sale broke numerous breed records, including the sale average of $8948 and total gross volume. Additionally, six animals sold for over $20,000. For nearly the last two decades, Elite Dairy and the Cutting Edge prefix have left their impact at local, state and national shows, garnering rosettes, banners and trophies for their beautiful Brown Swiss beauties. They have been Premier Exhibitor at World Dairy Expo for the past 13 consecutive years, and have been named Premier Breeder since 2016. Since 2003, they’ve had at least one AllAmerican winner. In 2018, history was made at World Dairy Expo when Cutting Edge T Delilah EX-95 was named Supreme Champion of not only the Junior Show, but also the Open Show. Kyle Barton, Ken Main’s grandson and Delilah’s owner, kicked off the sale showcasing her Supreme Banner. With hundreds of people in attendance, and nearly another 500 watching the Facebook Live Video, Delilah was struck off for a record-breaking $210,000 to the newly formed partnership of Dr. Kenny Manion and Ken Main, called Edge View Genetics. By days end, the top five selling animals and another 33 sold for over $5,000 to Manion and Main.
Numerous progeny of Delilah also sold, including her Dynamite son for $13,000 to Sexing Technologies, TX. Her Durham Fall Calf brought $11,000. Cutting Edge Thunder Faye 2E-93 also had her moment in the spotlight. Faye, who was Reserve Grand Champion at World Dairy Expo in 2017, also sold to Edge View Genetics for $175,000.

VOELKERS TD CARTER
SETTING RECORDS ON THE SIRE LISTS
T
he Brown Swiss breed has always had a remarkable track record of list-topping sires hailing from show-type pedigrees. Throughout the years, some of the biggest sire names in the breed have a foundation dam that was a National show winner or multiple All-American award winner. Charles and Nancy Voelker of Perryville, MO, enjoyed showing cattle, but also recognized the financial need to put milk in the bulk tank and structured their breeding program to those goals. One of the cows that really put them on the map has also brought their prefix to the attention of many other breeders through the sons that the cow family has now put into A.I. Voelkers Miguel Candid ‘4E94 2E95MS’ won the 5-year-old class at Madison, and was named All-American 5-Year-Old in 2009 - the same year she made her biggest production record of 33,090M 5.1% 1,673F 3.6% 1,189P. A high index cow for her day, her offspring were in demand from the start and she was mated to Top Acres C Wonderment. A resulting son, Voelkers Wonderment Chilli Pepper has been a popular A.I. sire since 2013. A Wonderment daughter, Voelkers Wndrmt Carabella ‘E90’ has records to 32,000M and is the dam of the Webster Ridge TD son, Voelkers TD Carter. Carter is a culmination of the Voelkers breeding plan that focuses on show type and udder composite along with increased milk production and high net merit (+200 or more). He entered AI with New Generation Genetics and they started
selling semen from him in April of 2011. By August, 2015 he was ranked the #1 Type bull and has held that position for 13 consecutive proof runs through the current August 2019 run! His first offspring nominated for All-American Rockstar Carter Fergie, a Junior 2-year-old in 2014. His AllAmerican nomination pace has accelerated since then. In 2018, he sired a breed-leading 10 All-American nominations and was the Premier Sire of the Voelkers Carter Almighty ‘E91’ was Grand Champion at the 2019 Illinois State Heifer Show at the International Fair. She is owned by Carter’s breeder, Voelkers Swiss Farm, MO. Brown Swiss Show. His daughter, Wind Mill Carter Snow Angel, twice All-American and the Reserve Junior Champion of the show was a contributor to that Premier Sire banner. He also sired the Reserve Grand Champion of the Junior Show – Jenlar Carter Waltz, a Very Good-89 2-yearold. Sires from show-winning pedigrees siring show winners may not be a big shocker, but more interesting is his impressive production proof numbers: +1226M +37F +26P. His type proof has stayed consistently Jenlar Carter Waltz ‘VG89-2Y’ was Intermediate and Reserve Grand Champion at +1.4T or +1.5T since his of the 2018 International Brown Swiss Junior Show for Brianna Meyer, WI. daughters began calving. To date, he has sired 34 EX cows and 41 EX Wind Mill Carter Snow Angel – Alludders with another 175 daughters scored American Spring Yearling 2018; AllVG – a total of 397 scored for an average American Spring Calf 2017 daughter score of 84.7. Known for dairy Bradner 4G Carter Triumph – All-American size and strength as well as outstanding Winter Calf 2018 mammary systems, his type numbers look secure for several runs to come as his All Glo Carter Popsicle – Reserve Alldaughters continue to enter the system. American Fall Calf 2018 Show-Winning Daughters: Voelkers Carter Almighty ‘E91’ 92-MS – Grand Champion, IL State Fair 2019
Carter’s grandam is Voelkers Miguel Candid ‘4E94’, the 2009 All-American 5-Year-Old. Her offspring have been in high demand including her Wonderment son, “Chilli Pepper.” 98 « COWSMOPOLITAN Fall Edition 2019

MEET THE EXPO JUDGES J
udging a breed show at World Dairy Expo is on many aspiring judges bucket lists. The prestige that being named a judge carries with it is unmatched. The 2019 judges come from a variety of backgrounds, but all have a passion for the industry and the dairy cows that get us out of bed every day. We talked to all eight show judges and had two simple questions for them: 1. Who is a cow that has had the most influence in your life or got you hooked on showing or judging? 2. Who was someone that you looked up to or has helped mentor you or a person that influenced the judge you are today? Many of the judges responded with, “Oh, that’s it? Not a problem!” Yet, when we followed up for their answers, they quickly realized those simple questions were harder than initially thought. And why is that? It’s the same reason why we wanted to ask them . . . at some point for everyone, there is usually a person or animal that helped decide this was the life for them, whether that would be fitting, judging, farming or caring for animals, and for everyone, honing their judging skills to enough that they’d end up on the colored shavings at the largest dairy cattle show in the world. International Ayrshire Show Phillip Topp, Botkins, OH Topp-View Warden Sweetie was my first year 4-H project and last heifer calf my father saw me show born before he passed. Showing in 4-H taught me the basic skills of fitting and showmanship, and they have stuck with me ever since. As for mentors, honestly, there are too many to name. I have looked up to so many different people over the years and for different reasons. I’ve learned different skills, whether on I was on the show halter or the one placing the classes, that have been invaluable to me over the years. International Brown Swiss Show Joe Sparrow, Worthville, KY The cow that’s had the biggest influence over me is without a doubt Frosted Sieg 104 « COWSMOPOLITAN Fall Edition 2019
Wammy. Not only her success in the showring, but her heart and now seeing her develop as a brood cow has been incredible. All three of my former judging coaches Dr. Mike Barnes, Dr. Katherine Knowlton, and Dr. George Heersche - all have been huge influences on me as far as a cattle judge. I definitely wouldn’t be where I am today without all three. I learned different techniques from them over the years that I use each and every time I walk into the middle of the ring! International Guernsey Show Seth Johnson, Tunbridge, VT Peterbarb Limelight was an Ayrshire cow I owned in my early teens. She had a magnificent set of Ayrshire horns that I sanded and polished. I milked just that one cow for three years over two lactations with an old Surge bucket milker. I doubt she ever won a class but I thought I was a real farmer when I got to milk her every day. I bought her from Tommy Hoyle, a local Ayrshire breeder that I really looked up to. My opportunity to judge the greatest Guernsey show on earth is really the product of Guernsey breeders all over this country allowing me to work with them and their cattle over many years. When I started working for the Guernsey Association in 1995, I didn’t have a clue what I really needed to know to do the job. The people that helped me most in figuring that out were: Neil Jensen, Ida Albert, Jim Trotter, Bob Griggs and my associate judge, Jon Lantz. Later, Dale and Stanley Chupp and Brian Schnebly made the Guernsey business fun and successful. My judging preferences in Guernseys are the result of wanting “the right kind of Guernsey” so that the breed can continue to be successful. International Holstein Show Chad Ryan, Fond du Lac, WI There is one cow that fueled my passion for showing and her name was Sutherhill Counse Bunnie EX-94. I purchased her in Ontario in 1996 fresh just 24 hours. When she got to my farm a month later, she
exceeded my expectations. Bunnie went on to be the All-Wisconsin Senior 3-YearOld that summer and placed well in the International Holstein Show that fall. She was my first animal on the colored shavings. Later in her life, she went on to nominated Junior All-American twice and proved to be a great brood cow for me down the road. I definitely owe credit to a lot of people who have helped me along the way, but there are a few that come to the top of my mind. First, my parents provided me an excellent foundation and supported me in what I liked to do. They also took on extra work load while I was traveling to various shows and sales around the U.S. when I was younger. I was also fortunate to have three exceptional breeders in my home county who helped drive my passion and get my start in the Registered Holstein industry. Bill Hageman had a great herd of cattle and was always willing to provide advice on breeding and judging. Orville Kemink took me to Canada, which allowed me to purchase some of my first Holsteins, which in turn became some of my foundation cows. David Rose, our independent Semex Representative at the time, helped me pick some successful matings and gave me great insight on breeding good cows. Finally, Rick and Paula Bovre were a great influence on me and helped me get my start in the sale business, which in turn lead to many great connections across North America. International Junior Holstein Show Eddie Bue, Kaukauna, WI I’ve been fortunate enough to work with a lot of exceptional cows over the years. Yet the cow that really did it for me was Scientific Debutante Rae. I had the privilege to take her to a show and she was something special. Working with and watching Matt and Mandy Nunes made me want to take care of cows better. After that, I’ve been able to care for the caliber of cattle that I’ve always strived for. I’ve known and worked with Perry Phend over the last 25 years. I worked a lot of sales and shows with him, and developed
a great respect for him in many ways. Watching him taught me what to look for in show cows and beyond. So many times today when I’m judging, I’ll think about how he would place a class or handle a cow, and that helps me with me decisions. He’s been a great friend over the years and I thank him for that! International Jersey Show Jack Lomeo, Jr., Sylvan Beach, NY It all started for me when my father used to buy trailer loads of heifers every week or two from Ontario. One heifer, a Marquis Ned daughter, came of the truck and she was so much better than all the rest it was like bam I was hooked! Shortly after I started falling in love with this amazing business. When Brookview Tony Charity was named Champion at Expo, that really got me hooked. I honestly was in awe . . . her overall length over every other cow she went against and her presence in the ring was just unmatched. I was maybe as lucky a young man as anyone when I went to Quebec and learned from Jocelyn Cote. The respect he commanded by being honest and sincere was parallel to none. He introduced me to
Callum McKinven and the way he judged made me want to become better. And whenever I judged, his watchful eye of a father-in-law John Beertwort always gave me pointed criticism. International Milking Shorthorn Show Keith Topp, Botkins, OH Alfa Creek Parker Victory is the last cow that I’ve ever purchased. I bought her 10 years ago when Keaton just started 4-H, and she went on to be a three-time Grand Champion at Ohio State Fair, and four-time Champion of the Junior Show there. She was a cow that I really enjoyed working with and just fell in love with. Watching my kids get the “show bug” when they were young helped me want to stay in the industry that I grew up in. Victory was named Unanimous All-American Component Cow in 2018 for Keaton and Kinley and that was a pretty awesome accomplishment for our whole family. Wayne Sliker was the first person to ever ask me to work a sale, nearly 30 years ago. I was straight out of high school and he gave me a chance at more. I learned so much, and wouldn’t be where I am today without him. He’s truly one of the
great guys in this industry and I look up to him till this day and know I owe him everything. International Red & White Show Jamie Black, Brushton, NY As a judge, there are a few cows that I’ve admired over the years, and had the chance to either work with them or offspring from them. Thrulane James Rose, in my opinion, helped change how we look at Holsteins today. She was so balanced, and had a beautiful udder. RF Goldwyn Hailey’s mobility around the ring was unmatched. And Vanderberg Amedo Gorgeous changed how I looked at Jerseys. I’ve been lucky enough to call two great judges close friends over the last 20 years. Callum McKinven has been judging shows at the highest level for so many years. His integrity in the show ring is the utmost and I greatly respect and admire that. I’ve also traveled with Michael Heath for years working sales, and he taught me how to look at cows differently. I think about his judging style a lot when I’m in the ring. If it weren’t for these two great guys, I know I wouldn’t be where I am today.
