THE VALUE OF THE ALL-AMERICAN NOMINATION
In 1976 I had the privilege to have all access to one of the most brilliant marketers in the purebred livestock business, David Bachman Sr. The owner and overseer of Pinehurst Farms in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, the man carefully cultivated a program to enhance the value of his Holsteins, especially to a Japanese clientele. The culmination of a show circuit that would last over five months and encompass ten shows and over ten thousand miles was the announcement of the All-American nominations. From 1975 to 1981, Pinehurst was the leading exhibitor and breeder of All-American nominations. Through its existence, the farm would garner more than 200 AllAmerican nominations and more than 50 All-American and Reserve All-American awards. Pinehurst’s first All-American, Pinehurst Peerless, was exported to Japan in 1968 for $15,000 ($126,879.82 in 2022 dollars). The nominations were a huge marketing tool as potential customers in Japan anxiously waited for their copy of the Holstein World to arrive in their mail box or perhaps view one that had made the trip overseas in the briefcase of a sales agent or breeder. Bachmann, who would travel to Japan twice a year with a couple copies and the skill of an artist, would highlight those pages with Pinehurst animals listed to potential buyers. In 1976 the value of a young sire like Pinehurst Copyright would increase with the showings of his offspring. Each was photographed perhaps a couple of times. A professional photographer made several trips to the farm during the year but the coveted pictures with the willows as a backdrop in Madison were generally the pictures sent to the Holstein World office for consideration. There were no composite pictures. Groups like the Copyright Junior Get of Sire were posed by as many as eight or more people. Getting all four animals’ attention at the same time could be a daunting experience. Largely because of those All-American nominations and the exposure, Pinehurst Copyright, Pinehurst Blueprint, and Pinehurst Titleist were all exported to Japan and it would be fair to say that the revenue from those sales financed Pinehurst for good deal of time afterwards.
Deppings Royalty Sunset, undefeated and All-American in her own right, was also exported after the completion of the year to Italy which added more money to the Pinehurst coffers as well. It would be almost impossible to calculate the value of being one of six animals or one of six groups on that nomination page would be but it is fair to say that the master of promotion found that it certainly added value to these animal and the herd in general. The nominations that year (with thoughts on a few):
Pinehurst Debonair
Unanimous All-American Bull Calf Pinehurst Debonair was as close to perfection as you could ever get. When one analyzes his picture, you must remember there was no ‘Photoshopping’
Pinehurst Debonair was Unanimous All-American Bull Calf in 1976. so what you see is what you get, a big, straight, long calf with style to burn and an incredible wide, deep, long and open rib. Debonair was a son of the homebred Pinehurst Copyright from Thorncreek Majesty Sally EX-93. The undefeated Debonair anchored the undefeated Junior Get as well.
Sir Prestige Reflection Elgin EX-93 Unanimous All-American 2-Year-Old Bull
Pinehurst Sovereign Echo
Senior Yearling Bull Exported to Japan
Pinehurst Titlest
HM All-American Junior Yearling Bull Exported to Japan
Deppings Royalty Sunset
All-American Senior Yearling Heifer Exported to Italy Sunset was owned in partnership with the Depping family, also of Sheboygan County. Sunset was undefeated and probably holds the record for the number of times being clipped during a show season. She was David Brown’s pride and joy and hour upon hour was spent by ‘Brownie’ working her beautiful white hair. Sold before the Royal to Italy, ‘Sunset’ financed a good part of the 1976 show expenses.
Pinehurst Fortune
All-American Junior Yearling Heifer Eventually scored VG-88 and owned by Dreamstreet Farm, NY
Pinehurst Dorrine
HM All-American Heifer Calf Eventually scored EX-90 and owned by Dreamstreet Farm, NY
Pippings Capsule Pride
Nominated All-American Heifer Calf Went on to be VG-85 and owned by James Winters, CO.
C Carlspride Vogel Reflection EX-97
Reserve All-American Aged Bull A massive black bull that weighed close to 3000 pounds, his years-long show ring rivalry with Zeldenrust Fond Memory has those two linked together in any Holstein history conversation. Carlspride was loaded with style and won the Grand Champion Bull title at World Dairy Expo in 1976
Browndale Highcroft Fury EX-CAN
HM All-American Aged Bull
No-Na-Me Fond Matt
HM All-American Get Of Sire
Pinehurst Winsome Echo EX-95
Nominated All-American Aged Cow The Premier Breeder banner was most coveted by Pinehurst and Winsome added many points during the year. The epitome of balance and style and always a lady, she stood on the end of the cow line at the shows and made a picture perfect greeting for visitors to the string.
Ecraso Fond Matt Linda EX-94
Nominated All-American 3-Year Old Cow Bred in Ohio, Linda was tall, dairy, though a bit rough with a nice udder especially when full and mean as a junk yard dog. She hated being milked, being clipped, being brushed, washed or being looked at. For the record and to her credit, Linda did produce the Reserve All-American Miss Linda EX-92 by Copyright for Pinehurst.
Thirteen nominations to end one of the most successful ventures in showing Holstein in the history of the breed. Those words “NOMINATED All-American” were added to the official pedigree from Holstein Association and breeders would use those three words as a marketing tool but it would be a fair statement that none used it quite as successfully as the master of Pinehurst, David Bachmann.

Cutting Edge Stratus Sue ‘3E94/95ms’ is the new National Fat and Protein Record Champion for the Brown Swiss breed. Her completed record at 9-06 in 365d at 2x is 60,546m 6.8% 4,097f 3.6% 2,208p.
