About the Cover
As we finish out a special year in the history of the New York Holstein Association we celebrate your choice for the Top 10 NY Cows of the Century. These are the beauties who rose to the top and have made a special impact on NY Holstein genetics and the entire Holstein breed. Enjoy reading about these special cows in our NY Cows of the Century feature beginning on page 20.
From the Editor Merriam-Webster’s 2020 word of the year is pandemic. I say we ditch Merriam’s mindless choice and go with the definitive word for every dairyman in the United States, resilience. Resilience is the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties. It’s toughness. It’s the ability of a substance or object to spring back into shape; elasticity. Do you know anyone like that? The men and women who were faced with hiring a new NYHA Executive Secretary after bringing in an outsider to take over their MELISSA HART magazine for a few months, pulled resilience out of their back pocket. These kinds of decisions are difficult enough in a ‘normal year.’ But add on a virus that took life as we know it and whacked it upside the head with a two-by-four, and resilience is a character quality that separates the sheep from the goats. By March, there were decisions to be made about shows, sales, and any event that would generate more than ten people in a room. When June rolled around, any hope of a public event would have had zero chance of happening in any other industry. Fall would have ushered in nothing but fieldwork and virtual school. But an association built on the resilient backs of dairymen looked around and realized the people needed something more than video submissions to virtual shows. The leaders of this association turned angst into ambition, and with some enthusiasm and tenacity mixed in, they rejuvenated several opportunities for their members to gather, compete, and thrive. They never once threw caution to the wind but considered every move they made with the care and consideration of their members in mind. Congratulations to the entire association for meeting every challenge of 2020 with grit, determination, and resilience. You have made a positive difference in the lives of many. The Barrie Potter fan club is growing, and their hunger for his humorous look at history can be satiated with his latest installment about Rosalyn, Kate, and Eva. Also, Lynnette Wright worked hard on the NY Cow of the Century contest, and those top 10 cows are in this issue! As we close out 2020, I would like to thank the advertisers and contributors for keeping the NYHN a trusted platform for marketing Holstein genetics and the voice of the NYHA. Thanks to everyone who has received me with kindness and as always, my ‘door’ is open and I welcome your comments and concerns. I hope you all enjoy a special Christmas with loved ones and are ready to take on 2021!

Happy Holiday season everyone! It has been one crazy year, that’s for sure, but we have made it through to the end. Thankfully, some of you even had the chance to show at a couple of shows this fall, which did not fully make up for the lack of county fairs, but at least there was something. I also hope that Danielle Herrick you were all able to take away something from the struggles that we have had to face. Personally, I learned a lot about personal motivation and how lucky I am to live where I do. With the cancelation of fair came the lack of motivation for me to work with my animals. Unlike many of you, the only show that I regularly attend is the county fair, and without having one this year, I lost a lot of motivation for perfecting the way that my animal leads. I missed out on the end of my senior year, and walking my animals seemed so trivial to me. Maybe some of you experienced a similar situation, maybe not, but it took a lot for me to develop a schedule and factor in walking my heifer on a daily basis. Even if she doesn’t happen to go to the fair next year, I learned a lot about developing my own ideas of motivation and doing things even if there is no recognition or end result when you are done. While I was developing my personal motivation, I was also able to realize how lucky I was to be able to live in a rural area. Even though I was confined to my house, I was still able to go out in the fresh air and wasn’t forced to stare at the same four walls every day. Whether it was walking my heifer, doing my online school work on the porch, or simply just standing outside, I realized how privileged I was to be able to have this sort of freedom when people living in NYC could not step outside of their apartments for weeks on end. Going off of the idea of motivation, I would like to talk about state convention for next year. I cannot tell you whether or not we will be having it, as I do not know that answer myself, but I can tell you that there are things you can learn by preparing anyway. Even if we don’t have a convention, it’s never a bad idea to work on your writing skills for prepared speaking, and you could even have one drafted up for next year. Studying for dairy bowl and jeopardy is always a good idea, because the knowledge that you gain is not just so that you can win a contest, but it helps you develop a better understanding of the animals that you are working with and you never know when this information can be used in the future. Doing a tri-fold helps you learn more about a specific topic that you are interested in 8 - NYN November-December 2020
and could help inspire some creativity. So, no matter what happens with convention, I still encourage you all to prepare as if we were going to have it because you never know what you could gain. I know that this was a hard year for all of us, but I hope that you were able to learn something from this experience and grow from it. I wish you all a very happy holiday season and may you all have a happy ending to this absolute rollercoaster of a year.
Allegany-Steuben Holstein Clubs News Betsy Gerber
No doubt 2020 has been a challenging year for all of us. We have been faced with many changes that have made us adapt our lives and businesses to survive and thrive. The same has been true for our club as our sales and shows were put on hold. However, this fall we were able to gather for our annual 200 Club Drawing and Celebration. Congratulations to this year’s biggest winner Amanda Lewis! It was a beautiful fall afternoon and in addition to the meal and elimination drawing, we partnered with a local Corn Hole Club to host a small tournament. Thank you to everyone from near and far for supporting the club by buying a ticket or two! This spring we were saddened by the passing of club members Tom Price and Jack Lamphier. Both made many contributions to our club over the years and are missed greatly. Jack was a dedicated board member until the end. The club has made a monetary donation to the Tom Price Memorial Fund. Another bright spot in 2020 was that some of our club members’ cows were nominated for Cow of the Century. In honor of members Tom Beach and Bill Brown, we contributed to the editorial in the Holstein News. We look forward to reading about all of the excellent cows and their impact on the Holstein breed. Our 2020 annual meeting has been put on hold until Spring 2021 for the health and safety of all members. We look forward to being gather again next year.
O-H-M Club News
Ginny Wolfe, Club Reporter It was been an extended fall harvest season for many in our three county club area. For some farmers there are just a few fields of corn or soybeans left to be harvested. However, this is the first fall season in many years that while gathering a bountiful harvest, we could also enjoy lots of beautiful fall foliage that lasted for well over a week. But then many also saw the first measurable snow fall on Halloween weekend the end of October.
December is fast approaching when the OHM Holstein Club normally holds its annual dinner meeting with elections and committee reports. However, because of the COVID-19 regulations we are not able to have a gathering of 50+ people so a meeting is just not possible at this time. The directors have decided that since all officers and directors have agreed, the officers and directors will hold office for another year. It is everyone’s hope that come spring we can continue with our usual events in 2021. Our sympathy is extended to the Sammons family of Stoncree Farm in Sammonsville on the death of Richard “Dick” Sammons, age 70 on November 1, 2020. Dick was an active 65-year member of our OHM Holstein Club as well as the NYS Holstein Association. He served several terms as a club director and could always be counted on to be on the sidelines at the club’s shows. Dick was a lifetime registered Holstein breeder following graduation from SUNY Morrisville with that influence passed on to his children who now carry on the Stoncree tradition of breeding Holsteins. Dick is survived by his son, Garritt and wife Ann; his daughter, Tracy and her husband, Brent Watterson; and his son-in-law, William Knowlton plus five grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Dick was predeceased by his wife, Nancy & his daughter, Kelly Knowlton. There are also several members of our club experiencing serious health issue at this time. Your thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated and needed for these members--- Allan and Pat Pullis, Roedale
Farm, who have both had surgery in November; John Nellis, Nellis Acres, who is having cancer treatments; Kerm Fassett, Clinton Camp Farm, who is awaiting hand surgery; and Mike Wolfe, Ovaltop Holsteins, who is recovering from a severe aneurysm fusion. We wish them all a complete and speedy recovery. To say the least, all of our members, both jr. & sr. will be happy to bid farewell to 2020 and look forward to the New Year. Remember to enjoy each and every day to its fullest.
Top of the State Holstein Club The Top of the State Holstein Club has been very active this year with planning the “Top of the State Fall Production Sale” that happened on October 16, 2020. During the sale there was one cow that stood out among all of the others. OAKFIELD-BRO BRA FESTIVEET EX-90 consigned by Andre Poirier. The highest seller for the heifers was, ENGINEER FIONA consigned by Sample Farm. The Top of the State Holstein Club made enough money to be able to pay for the annual meeting that happens in December. Our annual meeting is going to be held on December 4, 2020, depending on the pandemic that we are all going through. We hope to be able to hold our meeting where we will speak about what we have done as a club this past year and what we plan on doing next year along with choosing our directors for the upcoming year.

Executive Manager’s
Report
Happy Holidays! This time of year, I am always reminded just how much there is to be thankful for. Family, friends, CHELSEA HANSELMAN and a wonderful community of people connected by the same passion- cows. I am amazed at just how much can be accomplished when we join together- at times I am certain there is nothing that we cannot do. I was able to travel to Circleville, Ohio, for the North American Open Dairy Show the beginning of October, then to West Springfield, MA., for the Holstein Show at the Northeast All Breeds Show, and I concluded the show season in Louisville, KY., the beginning of November. These shows were true examples of what “cow” people can do when they come together with a shared mission and vision. Kudos to all of those involved in making these shows a success! New York was well represented at all three shows and our members brought their best. Congratulations to all that participated- you make New York proud! The 2020 NY Breeders Sale took place virtually on Friday, October 16th at 12pm with Dave Rama auctioneering. Like many other things this year, COVID provided us with the opportunity to try something new while still highlighting the quality cattle that New York has to offer. We averaged $3,513.24 on 34 lots with the highest selling heifer being AOT Spartacus Hana-ET selling to Curtis Vanden Berge for $6,000. AOT also had the 2nd highest selling animal with AOT Magnitude HayatET selling for $5,250 to Jordan Siemers. Congratulations to all of the buyers on purchasing some of New York’s finest! A huge thank you to Dave Rama, Dan Brandt, David King, Tom Harkenrider, Jason Pullis, and Adam Liddle on all of your help making this sale a success. The Cows of the Century contest wrapped up with voting ending on November 1 and what a testament this contest has been to the tremendous cows New York members have bred or owned. The Top Ten cows are highlighted in this issue and a book of the 101 cows highlighted is being sold on the NYHA webpage. I want to thank the Membership and Promotions Chair, Lynnette Wright, and her parents, Richard and Nancy Wright, for the countless hours they each put in to this contest. The stories behind each cow were my favorite- they were heartfelt, some funny, and all painted a wonderful picture of the families- and these stories were enjoyed by our fellow members and thousands of supporters on Facebook. Thank you to everyone that joined our virtual Fall 10 - NYN November-December 2020
meeting. The minutes from that meeting can be found in this issue. This has certainly been a strange year and I appreciate all of you who have been willing to step outside of your comfort zones and meet virtually or by phone to participate in meetings. This is also a reminder to make sure the office has your updated email addresses and to like the ‘New York Holstein Association’ page on Facebook- we frequently post reminders and updates to this page. Looking ahead to next year we have convention right around the corner. We had originally planned to have the 2021 conventions at the Radisson in Corning NY, however, with the number of positive COVID cases consistently rising throughout the state we have decided to change the format of the conventions, as our members health and safety are our top priority. The Senior convention is being moved to 100% virtual, with the annual banquet being on Friday, January 15, 2021. We will follow the annual meeting with the presentation of All-NY awards. There will not be a presentation of Master Breeder awards this year, as the committee has decided to wait until it is safe for us to all congratulate the winners in-person. Part of Junior convention will be done virtually on Saturday, January 16, 2021. The speech contest, DJM interviews, annual banquet with election of officers, and presentation of Jr. All-NY awards, breeder and production awards, speech contest awards, and DJM will be done virtually this year on that date. Dairy Bowl, Dairy Jeopardy, Scrapbook and Folding Display, and Poster-Ad contests are all postponed until April 2021 when we can hopefully meet in person. The location for this is still TBD. For details regarding convention please check out page 5 of the News or the NYHA webpage. It is also membership renewal time! Membership forms have been sent out so please work on completing those and getting them sent back to the office. Thank you to those that have already submitted yours! 2021 Club Goals Awards will be presented at Convention based on memberships received by January 11, 2021. As a reminder, paid memberships are required to be eligible to receive awards, to run for elected offices (county and state level), and to qualify for the NYHA scholarship. I challenge each of you to find one person to become a new member. County club reports have also been sent out. I know many clubs have not been able to meet and because of this we are extending the deadline for these reports to be returned to the office. Please let me know what your county’s plans are for having annual meetings and election of officers- if you’re meeting in-person I would love to join you. In closing I just want to thank all of you for your continued patience as I not only learn a new role but also work to navigate the many barriers that COVID continues to present us with. I am hopeful that 2021 will provide us more opportunities to get together in-person so that we can enjoy our one common passion- cows. Stay safe and healthy- Chelsea

Looking Back With Barrie 1983 WAS A GOOD YEAR By Melissa Hart It was February of 1983 in River Falls, Wisconsin, when Barrie Potter, Bobby Goodine, Terry Lee and Peter Coyne all got together during the slow time of the year and called it the Cattleman’s Convention. “We all enjoyed some down time together and I won’t go into great detail about that, I don’t want to tarnish everyone’s reputation,” Barrie chuckled. Headed out on a big road trip in the southwest, they left Wisconsin and worked the Herschel Flowers Sale in TX. “That was a 400 head, two-day sale, then we drove all night and went to Arizona and clipped a bunch of Brown Swiss at Vernon St. John’s Dispersal.” The crew ended up at the fairgrounds in Phoenix for the Arizona Holiday Sale, a sale that happened every February. Doing a ride-along with cattle trucker Melvin Moon, “We stopped along the way and picked up cattle in Colorado that were going back to Wisconsin,” Barrie explained. “When we got back to Pinehurst, Terry Lee, their full-time herdsman, asked if I wanted to stay and help them for a couple of weeks to clip some cows and heifers, so I said ‘Sure.’” Barrie continued, “Bachman had booked a sale in Oklahoma and we were supposed to go down and get the headliners ready to picture for their sale ads.”
Then Buddy Fleming called. “Buddy said ‘I just bought a good cow, and I want you to come out here and calve her in.’” Barrie explained that he was headed to Oklahoma, “Buddy said ‘She’s due pretty soon, so either you’re gonna come out here and calve her in or go to Oklahoma.’ So, the next day I was in the car headed back to New York.” Campbell-Hollow Ultimate Kate EX-95 2E GMD DOM calved in a week later with twins. “She didn’t clean and got a bad infection.” Barrie continued, “The vet, Brad Peterson, who was flushing cows seven days a week for all of the good herds in New York at the time, came out and had her on an IV antibiotics twice a day and that was roughly six weeks before the New York Spring Show.” Kate was special in more ways than one. Barrie explained, “This was Buddy’s first cow that he had purchased after he had gotten out of alcohol rehab and she taught me a lot about taking care of cows.” Buddy had also hired Rowland Beauvais to help him at the farm. “He was a real good cowman, had worked with lots of top Guernsey herds, was a Klussendorf winner and had designed the Hanover Hill Farm in Avon,” Barrie said. Buddy said that Rowland was one of the best and “If you and Rowland get along you’re going to learn a lot and it’s gonna be a good show season, if not, it will be a miserable show season.” As it turned out, Barrie 12 - NYN November-December 2020
and Rowland hit it off and he was like a grandfather to Barrie. “I learned more from Rowland the first two days of working with him than I did for two years in college.” He added, “Rowland always liked to be the first one to the washrack at the shows, so he would get up at 1:30 am every morning.” Kate responded well to the antibiotics and was good to go to the New York Spring Show. Buddy led her and she won the 4-year-old class and was Grand Champion. “After that, the owners of Dreamstreet pretty much gave Buddy the reins to go out and buy whatever he wanted.” Barrie continued, “About six weeks after the spring show Buddy called and said he just bought another 4-Year-Old, and she could be good enough to beat Kate.”
Millervale Ultimate Rosalyn Millervale Ultimate Rosalyn EX-95 DOM came from Leroy and Ida Jane Place from Pennsylvania. She was an Ultimate out of an Astronaut and very silky hided and extremely dairy. “Utlimates were bigger, coarser cows but the Ultimate on the Astronaut had more dairy quality in the cows,” Barrie commented. Later that summer Buddy got a call from Gary Lintvedt about a Valiant two-year old-- Howardholm Valiant Eva. She was a Valiant out of an Astronaut and as a two-year-old she scored VG-89 and was first place at the NY State Fair. While Buddy was out looking for good cattle to add to their stable of winners, he wasn’t the only one beating the bushes. “There were quite a few investor herds who were doing the same thing. Dreamstreet and Glen Tripp at Stookeys, were two of the herds spending a lot of money on cows.” Barrie continued, “That year the Get-of-Sire was a big class and both Stookeys and Dreamstreet wanted to have the Get-of-Sire by Quality Ultimate. They both wanted premier exhibitor as well, so that added a lot to the competition.” Back in the 80’s the fall shows happened one right after another. Dreamstreet started with the NY State Fair where Ray Kuel was the judge. Eva won the 2-YearOld class, Rosalyn was the first four-year-old, Kate was second place four-year-old, and Rosalyn ended up as

grand with Eva standing next to her as reserve grand. The All-American Dairy Show in Harrisburg was next. Dreamstreet took the same three cows out and Pete Heffering was the lead judge with Howard Binder as his associate. Rosalyn was first, Kate was second, Eva won her class. Rosalyn was grand that year and a five-yearold Elevation from Canada was reserve grand. Dick Keene was the judge at Madison that year with Howard Binder as his associate and they liked that pair of Ultimates . Rosalyn was first, Kate was second, the pair were Grand and Reserve and Eva won her class. Rosalyn went on to be named Supreme Champion of World Dairy Expo. They left Madison and went to Springfield, Missouri where Pete Heffering got a second look at the three standouts at the Southern National. Rosalyn was first,
From The NYHA President By Jason Pullis
Hello my Holstein friends. I hope this finds you all doing well as we enter the final stretch of 2020. Now that the turkeys have been processed and sold, the corn harvest is completed and all our equipment has been put away for the winter, it is a good time to reflect and project. Reflecting on the year gone by, it is surely a year we won’t soon forget. We watched through the late winter and early spring with mild curiosity as a strange virus ran across all corners of the world before finally hitting US soil. We saw our national economy come to a screeching halt as people ran to buy enough toilet paper to last years. And we saw empty shelves in grocery stores; a sight I certainly could never comprehend until I saw it myself. We saw the New York Spring Carousel cancelled along with every other spring show and a majority of shows throughout June and early July. By late July, some shows seemed to be able to go on and people came out en masse to compete, to be a part of something. We saw the New York State Fair cancelled in early July. We saw the New York State Holstein Show go from an idea to fruition in a few short weeks. We wished one Executive Manager well and welcomed in a new one right in the middle of all this. We watched Facebook every day for 101 straight days as a new Cow Of The Century nominee was unveiled and biographed. And now it’s time to project what lies ahead. As a group and with a lot of discussion, the Executive Committee has decided to forgo an in-person annual meeting for the Junior and Senior organizations. With COVID cases on the rise once again, we are not convinced that it is prudent to try to have meetings in January. Both organizations are working on virtual formats to bring our members together. Is it ideal? No. Will all members agree with our decision? Probably not. Is it what we feel we need to do for the time? Yes. Please keep an eye on publications such as the News and Farmshine, as well as digital outlets like the New York Holstein web and
Kate was second, Eva won her class and Rosalyn was Grand Champion. They loaded up the string and headed west for their last show of 1983, the Western National in Fresno, California. Bob Beauprez of Colorado was the judge with his associate Howard Binder. They saw the group the same way. Rosalyn was first, Kate was second, Eva won her class and Rosalyn was Grand. “1983 was a great show season and that provides a good overview of a couple of cows that were on the top 100 list of the NY Cows of the Century.” Barrie concluded, “We can dive deeper into these shows and those who helped get these cows ready. We had quite a crew of people with Ken Empey, Cooner, and Roland and some others.” – Next Up - the novel that is Audet’s Sale.
Facebook pages for updated information. Your county club State Director will also have updated information about meeting times and agendas. At the time of this writing, the New York Spring Carousel is on our agenda and we are hoping to be able to more forward with it. As was outlined in the last issue of the News, we are relocating to the Erie County Fairgrounds in Hamburg for the 2021 show. The Erie County Fairgrounds offers state of the art facilities (including an indoor wash rack), easy interstate access, a wide variety of hotel and dining choices close to the grounds and professional staff that seems pretty excited to have us there. It should be an event to remember for a long time! As we head in 2021, we ask that you as members have a little patience with the staff and Executive Committee as we work through making these events fun, safe and exciting. In the end, it might be easier and a little more convenient to complain about the situation because some of the choices we make for the better good of the membership don’t necessarily fit with how you think they should go. These volunteers do not take their responsibilities lightly. In all honesty, decisions rarely get made without lengthy discussion. We want to be fair and supportive of our members and we want to be able to make the best decisions possible. In all honesty, a little positivity can go a long way. Speaking of positivity, I want to finish up this month talking about one of our most positive members and thank her for years of service to the Association. My good friend and neighbor Virginia Wolfe has served on the Publications committee since New York Holstein took the magazine over in 1993. She has been the Chairperson of the committee since 2008 and has decided to step down from the committee. I can’t think of another breeder that has put the time or the effort into promoting not only their own herd, but New York Holsteins and the News as Ginny has over the years. Her dedication to the magazine and the program has been exemplary and I can’t imagine where we would be without her support. Thank you neighbor! NYN November-December 2020 - 13
2020 Fall Board Meeting Minutes President, Jason Pullis called the meeting to order at 11:07 a.m. on November 4, 2020. 1st Vice President, Beth Keene lead the group in the Pledge of Allegiance. Secretary, Chelsea Hanselman took roll call; Jason Pullis, Beth Keene, Jason Lloyd, Chelsea Hanselman, Tom Harkenrider, Katy Kemmeren, Mike Miller, George Merrill, Cathy Littlefield, Justine Kelsey, Kelly Driver, Deb Quackenbush, Alan Danforth, David King, Curtis Nolan, Cam Davis, Marvin Luders, John Marshman, Michael McCaffrey, Melissa Hart, Jennifer Ginzery, Stacie Sherman, Lynnette Wright Tom Harkenrider moved to dispense the reading of the previous meeting minutes from the Annual meeting as they were published in the 2020 April issue of the New York Holstein News. Alan Danforth seconded; motion passed. John Marshman presented the Treasurer’s Report. John went over financials from the profit and loss and balance sheet statements thru September 2020, membership income is down, there was no spring show income as it was canceled due to Covid-19 however there is state show income, sales income is down as the spring sale was canceled due to Covid-19, The Fall Breeders sale replaced the Harvest sale, advertising income is down however there are less issues in 2020, and event sponsors are down for we did not have as many events in 2020 due to Covid-19. Payroll expense are down for we now only have three staff members. State show expenses are higher than the income but, event sponsor money applies. The senior reserve fund is earning good interest, the senior checking is down, and the juniors are holding steady. The PPP loan goal is to receive full forgiveness. Overall, we have good footing considering Covid-19. Marshman asked for any questions and with none Lynnette Wright made a motion to accept the treasure’s report, Beth Keen seconded, motion passed. Membership/Breed & Promotion Chairman, Lynnette Wright gave the committee’s report. Lynnette reported membership numbers and cow numbers are down however we did receive fifty-six memberships and of them forty-one are new members as a result of the state show. The committee suggested exploring a business membership possibly incorporating it with sponsor packages. 14 - NYN November-December 2020
The committee also suggested to explore having only one issue of the News sent per household. Lynnette suggested we have a Cow of the Century Contest announcement and or a virtual social hour, she presented a book of one hundred and one Cows of the Century and asked if the group felt members would express interest in purchasing it. She welcomed ideas to help keep members involved. Jason Pullis thanked Lynnette for overseeing the Cow of the Century Contest and congratulated her on a remarkable job done. Beth Keene welcomed ads in the December News to congratulate and or share memories of the top ten cows. Lynnette welcomed sponsors in the amount of one hundred dollars to help promote the advertising of these top ten cows in the December News. Cathy Littlefield made a motion to accept the committee’s report, Mike Miller seconded, motion passed. Publications Chairman, Justine Kelsey gave the committee’s report. Justine thanked the group for allowing her to Chair the committee, she thanked Ginny Wolfe for her service as she was the chairman for a number of years and congratulated her on a wonderful job done. The committee suggested exploring digital print subscription rates and getting new designer and layout quotes. The committee also agrees with the Membership/Breed & Promotion committees’ suggestion to explore having only one news sent per household as the membership money allocated to the news is not covering the per copy cost. In 2021 the News will be published eight times; January All-NY and ET Sale, February/March youth/ convention, April/May spring show, Red & White issue, June with a breeders and or business directory, July/August, September, October and November/December. 2021 adverting’s rates will remain the same as 2020.

David reported the NY Breeders Sale had thirty-four lots total and approximately a six-thousand-dollar profit. He thanked Dave Rama for helping make the sale a success. The ET sale will be held in conjunction with the All Breeds
Convention in Corning, New York in January and the Spring sale will be held live in Hamburg, New York in conjunction with the Spring Dairy Carousel. The committee also discussed NYHA sales rolls and or profit for NYHA and its breeders. Curtis Nolan made a motion to accept the committee’s report, Tom Harkenrider seconded, motion passed. Show Chairman, Jason Lloyd gave the committee’s report. Jason reported that the State Show was successful, the Futurity deadline has been extended to January thirty-first and there has been a change to the previous rules; breeders do not need to be NY members but the applicants/owners must be a NY member. The 2021 Spring Dairy Carousel will take place in Hamburg, New York on March 29-April 3rd. Jason encouraged everyone to participate in the All-NY and All-NY Red & White contest. John Marshman suggested that the committee has someone help oversee the finances as it would be beneficial when budgeting. Justine Kelsey suggested that sponsorship be handled by individual events similar to how 2016 National Convention was handled. Justine Kelsey made a motion to accept the committee’s report, Beth Keene seconded, motion passed. Editor, Melissa Hart thanked the Association for giving her the opportunity to work with its members as she enjoys working with them and she also thanked Frank Putman for all his assistance. Melissa welcomed all suggestions. Deb Quackenbush made a motion to accept the committee’s report, Tom Harkenrider seconded, motion passed. Executive Manager, Chelsea Hanselman reported that it has been an exciting first five months and thanked everyone for their support and patience.

Chelsea noted that she is meeting with the JEC next week and is looking forward to having junior Convention and or events for juniors to participate in. Lynnette Wright noted that others have hosted successful virtual contests if the need shall arise.

these positions. Alan Danforth seconded; motion passed.
President, Jason Pullis thanked Mike for his report and asked if there was any old business, Tom Harkenrider moved to vote on the proposed By-Law change from the Annual meeting as follows; ARTICLE 8. DUTIES OF DIRECTORS Section 9. There shall be an executive committee consisting of the President, First Vice President, Second Vice President, Treasurer, and four (4) members of the Board of Directors or members at large, elected by the New York County Club Directors. The four (4) members will be elected to four-year terms with an election each year for one (1) of the expiring terms. There are no term limits to
President, Jason Pullis asked if there was any new business, Beth Keene thanked everyone for being a part of NYHA and adapting to the times. Justine Kelsey asked if the suggestion of having only one issue of the News sent per house hold has an effect on the printing rate.

David King made a motion to adjourn the meeting, Justine Kelsey seconded, meeting was adjourned at 12:42 p.m.
Centennial Perseverance By Carman Lamanna

Breeding for the Next Best One By Melissa Hart
“My goal is to breed top-end show cattle that will be in the middle of the ring for champion at Madison,” emphatically stated by fifteen-year-old Isaac Folts of Folts Farm in North Collins, NY. The youngest of four boys and the son of Josh and Ginny Folts, Isaac owns 40 head of Registered Holsteins and a couple of Jerseys. “The majority of the show cattle, I own by myself, but there are a few partnership animals owned with my older brother.” His siblings include J.R., Gunnar, and Zane. Isaac has been hard at work on remodeling a barn for his show cows that will have six pack pens and each pen will accommodate two milk cows or 3-4 heifers or 4-5 calves. Currently the Folts milk 110 head with two Lely robots. Isaac and his brother Zane and their parents monitor the herd. After operating a successful trucking business, the Folts began milking cows five years ago. Making all the breeding decisions he said, “I believe that every bull has it’s place. Right now, I’m using Dundee, Goldwyn, Awesome Unstopabul, Doorman and Master.” He continued, “I use a little more Unstopabul because he gets the cows settled.” While most of his breeding decisions revolve around type, Isaac has dabbled in genomics. “I used to be into genomics a little bit more and I still try to breed for it, but I’m not buying them anymore.” One of his highest genomic animals is red. Currently, Isaac is flushing several cows. Curr-Vale Brokaw Haven is one he is flushing to Awesome to make full sisters to J-Folts Awesome Hokulani. “Hokulani is the cow that I sold to Dave Dyment and Mike Duckett and was she was nominated All-American last year as a Sr.2-yearold.” He continued, “Since I am designing and financing the showbarn myself, I used this money as seed money to get started on my barn.” Haven goes back to the Hezbollah family. Another cow is Gen-Com Aftershock Lynn. She is

a daughter of Idee Goldwyn Lynley EX-94 who was Intermediate Champion at World Dairy Expo in 2010. “Lynn is the dam to J-Folts Sandstorm Lydia, who was reserve junior champion of the junior show at New York Holstein State show this year. I flushed Lynn to Sid, Master, Moovin, Doorman, Denver, and Warrior,” Isaac commented. Oakfield RB Shantay is a daughter of Stony-Pillar Sharmaine-Red EX-94 2E. “Shantay was third at expo as a milking yearling. Although she has not responded well to IVF, I do have a couple of Avalanche calves and I am currently flushing her to Warrior,” explained Isaac. “Also, Tusc-Vu Avalanche Cali. Cali is my Sr.3-year-old who I had great success with this year, but I have always felt that she was not at her full potential and next year would be her year.” He continued, “She was tenth junior as a fall calf at World Dairy Expo and this year she was grand of the junior and open show at Nioga, second open, first junior, and reserve grand of junior show at Cortland.” She was also the first junior at the NY State Holstein Show and second junior at the North American Open Dairy Show in Circleville. She has been flushed to Goldwyn. Isaac is driven by three things: His competitiveness and passion for the dairy industry, the desire to breed a great cow and the people who have encouraged him along the way. New York Holstein breeders have been very influential in his life. “Tyler and Kelly Reynolds took me under their wing and helped me a lot. Katie Coyne mentored me also. Johnathan and Alicia Lamb have been great to me.” He continued, “Joe Nash and Ryan Lawton, have been great inspirations for me. But overall, my father has inspired me the most because he is a first-generation dairy farmer and has taught me that you can achieve any dream if you work hard enough.” Isaac has been learning how to ultrasound and breed cows, thanks to the neighbor, Connor O’Gorman at Mammosers Dairy. “I would like to become good enough to do my own embryo work,” he said. Majoring in dairy science at Cornell University is the next big goal after high school graduation. And then he would like to go back to the family farm and continue to breed great cows. Isaac’s plan for the herd is simple, “All of my cows are for sale and I’m always breeding for the next best one. But, the next best one is also for sale.”

And the Top Ten New York Cows of the Century Are… The NY Cow of the Century was a huge success as 101 cows were featured and voted on by Holstein enthusiasts narrowing it down to the top 10 vote getters. Lynnette Wright along with her parents, Richard and Nancy Wright, worked hard to collect information and write historical bios on all 101 cows that were featured on the NY Holstein Facebook page. We thank the Wright family for their dedication to the breed and the NY Holstein breeders. Here are your top 10 NY Cows of the Century bios gathered by Lynnette Wright:
Audrey Posch – EX-93 2E @ 19 yr. - GMD
Born in 1937, Audrey Posch was bred by Harry Yates of Orchard Park, NY, a product of Yates’s PoschAbbekerk breeding program. Mr. Yates had no Holstein prefix so his tradition was to use the cow’s barn name as the first name and those of the Posch breeding had Posch at the end. Thus, Audrey Posch! She is descended from a long line of high producing females that can be traced back to Vreda 2259 H.H.B. who was imported in 1882 by TB Wales of Iowa. Audrey Posch was shown as a 3-year-old in the 1940 NYS Fair by Mr. Yates and placed 2nd to the famous Cornell Ormsby Kay. Peter Martens of Chenango County
purchased her right there at the fairgrounds. She was later sold in the 1942 Earlville Sale and purchased by Butterfly Farms of Mexico, NY. A young Horace Backus showed her to Grand Champion honors at the Oswego County Fair in the summer of 1947. Horace recalls in one of his books (Scatterin’s), that the herdsman at Butterfly left for vacation and Horace was helping with barn chores. Things were going okay except Audrey Posch would not let down her milk. The herdsman called after a few days to check on things and when they told him about Audrey Posch he said “Well, are you playing the radio during milking?” They weren’t and once they did, she milked out perfectly. Horace made sure to have a radio with him when he took her to the county fair! She also made a record of 9-0 365 3x 27,102M 3.8 1016F that year. Audrey Posch was sold again in the Butterfly Farm Dispersal in late 1947 to Mallory Farms in Vermont where she completed her National Production Record and produced two GM sons. Her record at 14-2 365 3x 25,572M 3.7 948F was a National record for fat at her age, and her 17-year-old record was second in the nation! She produced 227,909M 3.8 9039F in her lifetime. Audrey Posch started a long line of 20 generations of Excellent females. Many well-known Holsteins over the years can trace their maternal line to Audrey Posch including Pinehurst Royal Rosa (EX-91 2E) who had 14 Excellent daughters. And the latest in the line of Excellent cows is Golden-Rose Barbritzi B-Red classified EX-90 with an EX-93 mammary system. Horace Backus said of Audrey Posch in his Seed Stock II that she “was a very special part of my ‘Growing up with Holsteins’. The continual evolvement of the {many} generations of Excellents, descended directly from her, has been a matter of particular interest and great satisfaction over the years... If it were possible to build a herd on memories – my first choice would have to be Audrey Posch.”

Additionally, she was All-New York and All-New York Cow of the Year (People’s Choice) in both 2017 & 2018. In January of 2019, Lu joined an elite list of cows to score EX-97! From a February 2019 Cowsmopolitan, Inc. article: “Earning the admiration of dairy enthusiasts for her massive width, strength and mammary system, Lu was put up for EX-97 in early January and was rechecked this last week. “Cows have to be just about perfect to go 97,” said Anthony, “we thought she deserved it, but you just never know.” And Lu is just about perfect – earning 50 on the linear scale for Strength, Body Depth, Dairy Form, Thurl Width, Fore Udder and Udder Height. Her breakdown finished at 95 – 96 – 98 – 96 – 98. “Lu has always been a special cow for us,” noted Anthony. “And she has done so much for us over the last few years.” Anthony added that they were more nervous the day she went 97 then they ever were for any show with Lu! Anthony purchased Lu’s dam, Brigeen -HH Sept St Lulu, EX-91 2E, in the Legacy at Hanover Hill Sale. He then sold St Lulu in the Liddleholme Sale in 2008 but kept two Resurrect embryos which later resulted in Lu! Lu’s 4th dam is another NY Cow of the Century, Tora Triple Threat Lulu, EX-96 GMD DOM.

MD-Delight Durham Atlee EX-92 DOM GMD
Atlee was the 2005 Unanimous All-American Senior 3-Year-Old and the 2010 Holstein International Global Cow of the Year. The following is an article about her and her family taken from The Bullvine from October 9th, 2012 written by Karen Hunt with updates by one of her owners, Jason Lloyd: Atlee’s first accomplishment was when she caught the attention of good cattlemen. She was purchased from her breeders, Gary & Crystal Dell of Maryland, by Fosters (North Carolina) as a young calf at the Maryland Convention Sale. That is where eventual owner, Mike Heath of Heath Holsteins and Jerseys, first saw her and couldn’t get her out of his mind. He then bought her the following year with Jason Lloyd (Maple Downs Farms II) and Rick Allyn for $20,000. The first step in the process was taken when she classified VG-87 as a 2-year-old. The partnership of Heath, Jason Lloyd and Rick Allyn got together to see if they could make money marketing and showing Atlee. She did not disappoint when she won her class in the Massachusetts State Show. At Madison she placed 15th in the Senior 2-yearold class and then went on that winter to develop into a VG-89 point 2-year-old. Atlee calved on September 17th, 2005 at Maple Downs Farms II with her second calf, just ten days prior to leaving for World Dairy Expo. Jason, having high hopes for Atlee, stayed home from the Big E that year to work with Atlee on a daily basis to prepare her for Madison. Seventeen days after calving, MD-Delight Durham Atlee was named the 1st Senior 3-year-old and Reserve Intermediate Champion of the 2005 International Holstein Show. Atlee went on to be max scored at EX-92 and produced a record of 03-11 2x 365D 38,290M 5.5 2,091F 3.1 1,177P. The partnership had decided it was time to put Atlee in an extensive flush program (before IVF was around). It was that great start in the showring that kickstarted Atlee to international recognition. Heath, Allyn and Lloyd pulled together, and their teamwork saw her through calving, show preparation, and the rise
to stardom at Madison. It’s not difficult to imagine the enthusiasm these cowmen had for this descendant of the Adeen family. Show type is written all over Atlee`s pedigree. Her granddam was MS Kingstead Chief Adeen EX-94-2E-USA DOM 2*, great aunt is Shoremare S Alicia EX-97-3E-USA 6* and great granddam is Aitkenbrae Starbuck Ada EX-94-2E-USA DOM 4*, which all have been All-American, All-Canadian or Grand Champion at major shows. Her dam was not shown but classified VG- 88 during her first lactation. Additionally, Atlee`s sire stack Goldwyn x Storm x Skychief x Starbuck has very high conformation numbers and above-average production. The first flush was to Roy, which produced just one heifer calf that was born on September 6th, 2006. MsAtlees Roy Autumn, who in 2007 was 1st Fall Calf at World Dairy Expo and Junior Champion! A dream come true for the partnership. Roy Autumn also was named the People’s Choice All-American Heifer Award Winner and All-American for 2007. Autumn calved as a milking yearling the following summer and then won World Dairy Expo again in milking form and again was the Unanimous All-American. The magical cross – often referred to as “golden” is the one to Braedale Goldwyn. On May 6th, 2006, Dr. Bradley Pederson of Delaware Valley Vet helped produce at Maple Downs Farms II what is probably the most valuable flush ever in the Holstein industry. Atlee produced 54 Goldwyn embryos which 38 were transferable. 20 #1s, 10 #2s, and 8 #3s, which were implanted at the farm and three of them were pregnant. Sons resulted from the flush were, [Maple Downs-I GW] Atwood, Atlantic, Alta Amazing, and Avalanche in the USA. This is a “first” ever group. In Canada, the flush produced Atticus and Attic, both awarded Superior Type in 2012. Ridgefield Delete is superior proven in Spain. Also, Golden Dreams in the UK. Atlee’s Goldwyn daughters are also outstanding. In the USA Ariel EX-92 was Reserve All-American Junior 2-yr-old in 2009 and subsequently sold for $1.5 million dollars for her, eleven daughters, six sons and four pregnancies. Abigail EX-91 (sold for $40k) has had many daughters sell for high prices. Arista VG-88 has had daughters top many sales. Avery VG-87 @ 2 yr. has many daughters and granddaughters near the top of the index lists. Ava VG-88 @ 2 yr. is on an extensive flushing program. In Canada, Albany VG-87@ 2 yr., already has four VG 2-year-old daughters. In the UK, Golden Atlee VG-87 and Gold Atlee VG-88 are the foundation for new cow families in that country. Atlee was also flushed to Shottle and produced MsAtlees Shottle Aubrey EX-92 DOM, which was sold for $750,000 privately out of the barn. Also, Aubrey had a brother, Aftershock, which produced just shy of one million units of semen for ABS St. Jacobs. Aftershock sired the Junior Champion and Reserve Junior Champion

of the World Dairy Expo in 2012. Unfortunately, cancer claimed Atlee early in life. In January 2008, Jason received a phone call that MsAtlees Roy Autumn was named the People’s Choice Award Winner, just two hours after Atlee’s passing. Her offspring, both sons and daughters, continue to build an outstanding legacy. Currently, one of Maple Downs favorite cows in our show string is our Junior 3-year-old, Maple Downs D Back Addie VG-89 @ 2-6. Addie has been to two shows this year and Intermediate Champion at both.
Tora Triple Threat Lulu EX-96 GMD DOM
Lulu’s show credits include 1st 3-year-old and Grand Champion at the 1978 NY Junior Holstein Show, 1st 3-year-old, Best Udder in class & Reserve Grand Champion at Eastern States, 2nd 3-year-old and 2nd Best Udder in class at the Central National. She was named High Honorable Mention All-American 3-yearold in 1978, the 1981 Reserve Grand Champion at the Royal Winter Fair and Reserve All American Aged Cow in 1981. Lulu was an outstanding brood cow having 9 EX and 2 VG offspring including popular sires Tora Matt Lancer EX, Hanover-Hill Inspiration EX, and Hanover-Hill Logic EX. She also had several EX daughters including Hanoverhill Star Lulu EX 93 - All American Sr 2-Year-Old 1988, and Hanoverhill Sheik Lulu-ET 3E-94 GMD DOM. Using Triple Threat resulted in 5 EX and 9 VG cows for Tora Farms. Additionally, other NY Holstein Cows of the Century - Liddleholme Resur Lu-Red -ET EX-97-3E and Highcroft Absolute Lily-Red EX-95 both go back to Lulu.
Congratulations Top Ten Cows of the Century!
Born in 1974, Lulu was bred by Dale and Stephen Putman of Heuvelton, NY. She had a record of 3-4 321D 33,070M 3.7 812F and a lifetime of 133,398M 3.9 5,185F. Lulu was the daughter of a cow that Dale Putman Sr. purchased. Tora Farms sold out because Dale had had a cancer diagnosis, but after recovering his health, he rented a small farm and had a herd of cows. One day, he suggested to son, Michael, that they go take a look at a cow in DeKalb (a short 15 minutes away). Michael says that this farm was a totally Eastern AI bred herd, owner sampler, no silage – only hay and grain and his dad is talking to this farmer about buying a dry, 3rd calf cow, who he admits was straight and nice, but dry as a bone! Mike thought his father was crazy, but his dad assured him that he had seen her fresh and she had a great udder, so they bought her! That cow, Ormsby Lougo Alta, went EX-90 2E GMD with a record of 8-05 365D 24550M 3.7 900F and was eventually bred to Triple Threat and the rest, as they say, is history. Steve Putman was exhibiting Lulu at the New York State Spring Show as a 3-year-old when Lew Porter was there with a string from Charles Auguer of Maine. Lew tried to buy Lulu there, but details couldn’t be worked out. However, later a deal was made, and she went to Maine. A year after that, R Peter Heffering purchased the whole Auguer herd, so he got Lulu. . . and Lew [Porter], too!

Clear Vision for Pineyvale Results in Fantastic Sale By Jason Pullis
“I never liked the word “dispersal”- it sounds too much like the word disappear” so wrote Allen McClure in the forward to the 20/20 Pineyvale Sale catalog. “It’s a play on the year 2020, with the thought of having 20/20 or a clear vision” he continued. Together with his wife Carolee and in-laws, David and Carolyn Post, the family hosted a successful sale at the farm in Hobart, NY on October 24th with outstanding results. The air was crisp with bits of rain throughout the day, but that didn’t seem to bother the several hundred people in attendance, as the 84 full lots from Pineyvale averaged $3,045. Buyers came from ten states and it sure seemed like most of them were on hand to see the herd sell. No stranger to the limelight, lot 1, Jericho-Dairy Baracuda-ET *RC (EX-94, 4Y) is a seasoned tanbark veteran. She was named the Jr. All-American Sr. 3-YearOld in 2019 for Lance McClure and had been named Grand Champion at the 2020 OHM Holstein Show and was the winning 4-Year-Old just a few weeks prior at

the North American Jr. Show in Ohio. Her 3E 94 Advent dam had records to 1646 of fat and made right at 200,000 of milk lifetime. The next two dams were 3E 94 and 6E 94, followed by seven more VG or EX dams. After a lengthy bidding battle, Currie Valley Dairy of Tully, NY came out as her new owners for $30,000. Randy Frasier of Elmvue Farm was on hand as the contending bidder. Rolling in right behind her at $26,000 was Roll-NView Jcby Emery-ET, a VG 88 Jr. 2-Year-Old fresh in April and due right back within her year to Cheers. She had just been named the winning Jr. 2 and Reserve Intermediate Champion at the North American Jr. Show for Daniel McClure. Her ham was EX-92 by Goldwyn, followed by a 2E 95 Durham with over 50,000 of milk and Reserve All-American 4-Year-Old honors in 2008, 2E 95-GMD-DOM Encore and then 3E 96-GMD-DOM Krull Broker Elegance and four more EX dams. Caitlin Bennett of Cazenovia, NY was the buyer. Ayla Janney of Broadway, VA invested $8,200 in the third high seller of the day, Pineyvale McCutch Lollypop (EX-91, 3Y) with over 1300 of fat in her second lactation. She was backed by an EX Talent, 3E 94 Durham with 233,000 of milk lifetime and then six more VG or EX dams from the Bellwood Linda Family. She sold due in January to sexed Warrior-Red. Her yearling son by Solomon Cross sold for $1,175 to Maple Shadow Farm of Bainbridge, NY. Her Crush daughter, recently scored VG 85 at 2 years sold for $2,900 to Moserdale Dairy of Copenhagen, NY and was due in May to Cheers. Selling for $7,000 was farm favorite, Rocklan Golden Dream Bright *RC, an EX-90 Golden Dreams daughter springing and due right after the sale to AristocratRed. Sporting another deep pedigree, her dam is 2E 94 (96-MS) “Brilliant-Red” with 52,000 of milk and 2000 pounds of fat. Her second dam was two time Unanimous All-American, Rainyridge Talent Barbara (EX-95). Fellow Delaware County breeder and close Pineyvale family friend, Janice Smith, of Franklin, NY was the buyer. Mrs. Smith didn’t have long to wait for a new baby, as Bright delivered a healthy red heifer calf a few days after the sale. Another great cow with the Rocklan prefix, Ms Rocklan Atwood Allie-ET (2E 94) sold for $5,400 to Derek Durkee of Fort Ann, NY. She sold fresh 70 days
and had 156 and 142 pounds of milk on her last two test days. She was backed by a 2E 93 Shottle, EX-93 Durham, EX Mason and then 2E 96 Tri-Day Ashlyn. Peter Vail and Maple Downs Farms II of Middleburgh, NY jumped on the buyer’s list at $5,100 with a June ’19 Solomon heifer due in March to King Doc from an EX90 Crush and the 2E 94 Atwood Allie cow. The partnership of Vail and Maple Downs also purchased Kings-Ransom KB Cupid, and EX-91 Kingboy daughter of NY Cows of the Century finalist, KingsRansom MG Cleavage (EX-95) and then nine more EX dams from the Roxy family. This was the third sale that the Pineyvale crew had hosted, with previous sales held in 1995 and 2012. The herd has been built on the foundation of deep cow families with high lifetime and well above average type. Al McClure noted “There’s still a market for good cows out there.” Nearly 200 Excellent females have been bred at the mountain top farm, with three checking in at 96 points. Adding to the excitement of the day, about five miles down the road, Posthaven Absolute Sasy, owned by Dave and Carolyn’s grandson Andrew was passed by a committee of classifiers for a new score of EX-95. She had recently stood third in the Aged Cow class and was Grand Champion of the North American Jr. Show in Circleville, OH. The sale was managed by The Cattle Exchange, with David Rama selling the cattle and Tim Abbott reading pedigrees. Taking bids from the large crowd were Adam Liddle, Anthony Crothers, Gus Swartzbeck, Don Welk and first time ringman, Trevor Holdridge. Merry Rama and Jeanie Nichols clerked the sale.
