The busy fall season is upon us, as children get back into the routine of school, farmers work to harvest their crops, and cooler temperatures are in the air. For many people, fall means football games, visits to the pumpkin patch or apple orchard, and enjoying the beautiful weather. For Registered Holstein breeders, fall also brings plenty of opportunity to celebrate the Registered Holstein cow.

As World Dairy Expo approaches, and NAILE a month later, the 2022 show season will come to an end. We hope many of you have the chance to attend these shows, either as a contestant or a spectator. These events are a great opportunity not only to enjoy watching our beautiful black and white cows parade around the ring, but also to connect with others in the dairy industry.

If you attend World Dairy Expo, be sure to visit the Holstein Association USA booth located in the main concourse in the Coliseum. Holstein Association USA staff looks forward to answering your questions and sharing what’s new at the Association. You’ll also be able to meet the new Holstein Marketplace Sires manager, Tim Ziemba, and chat about the new bulls in the Holstein Marketplace Sires lineup.

Located right next to the Holstein Association USA booth is the AgriTech Analytics (ATA) booth. ATA is the dairy records processing center owned by Holstein Association USA. Part of the U.S. DHIA System, AgriTech Analytics provides data to the dairy producers for management, genetic improvement, and pedigree purposes. ATA’s new General Manager, Tony Allen, is excited for the opportunity to meet more Holstein Association USA members during World Dairy Expo.

For the past several years, September has also marked the release of a new Holstein America episode. Holstein America is the nation’s leading dairy focused program on National TV, produced by Holstein Association USA. The documentary-style program celebrates the Registered Holstein cow and highlights the work of those who care for her.

This fall’s episode features Registered Holstein breeders from California to Pennsylvania, and throughout the Midwest. The farms and families featured all have unique businesses and enjoy different aspects of working with U.S. Registered Holsteins. This episode also gives you a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes work done at the Holstein Association USA office in Brattleboro, Vermont.

If you missed the Monday, September 26 broadcast of Holstein America on RFD-TV, you can find the show at www.holsteinusa. com or Holstein Association USA’s YouTube channel. We hope you’ll share your favorite segments with family and friends outside the dairy industry as well!

As always, don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you need any assistance. This fall, we hope you all have a safe and plentiful harvest, and the chance to join other Holstein Association USA members in celebrating the Registered Holstein cow and all she provides!
