A Message from the President Bill Indoe
By Bill Indoe
It’s hard to believe that the year is almost over. As in the past, much appreciation goes out to Diana at the office, the officer team, and all the directors and committee chairs. Also, a big shout out to Melissa for our great magazine!!
The office has had the roof redone, sidewalk and railing upgraded, lighting and paint on the interior. Projects that were much needed and will increase the value of our building.
Congrats always to our judging teams! Always brings a smile to see them do well. Great memories for many of us. Also, Ohio breeders did extremely well at the fall shows. This keeps us relevant on the National level. It’s a lot of hard work and helps Ohio to be a dominant marketing state.
Not too long ago a friend of my family passed away. Roger Schug was someone I’ve known for many years. My family, like many others, had bought the next good one from him over the years. Back in the 70’s my dad bought a black Eagle that went 94. In the 90s, I bought a Tempo that went 94 and was the mother of my first home bred All-American. Oddly enough, we just had another heifer from that family last week. Roger asked us to take his last four heifers about year or so ago. We didn’t need more heifers --but it was Roger. We were honored that he wanted them here. A week after his passing we classified. We ended up with a very good 88-point Red Jordy from an excellent dam and a very good 85-point Undenied from an 88-point Goldwyn. We had another 2-Year- Old Awesome-Red just fresh from the top selling cow at the Luck-E Holstein sale a year ago. Awesome job Roger—rest easy my friend.
Plan on attending the Ohio Convention in March. District 5 is planning a great weekend for us and we should all be there to support the association and enjoy some fellowship with our Holstein friends.
Enjoy the holiday season and may you all have a prosperous 2022!
