From the Executive Director By Tom Thorbahn

Well autumn is certainly in the air, and soon fall shows will be in full swing, along with harvest and all the colors of the season. Congratulations to all the exhibitors at the state fair this summer, the Holstein and the Red and White show had superior quality all the way down the line. The exhibitors should be proud of the Registered Holsteins exhibited; I’m sure some will be at the fall shows. Good luck to everyone. Some of you attended the National Convention in Wisconsin in June. Our hats are off to the Wisconsin members for a tremendous job of hosting this year’s Convention. Convention attendees got to see some great Wisconsin Holstein herds as well as other exciting tourist attractions. The convention was a great opportunity to catch up on cows, crops, and the dairy industry with fellow members from across the U.S Ohio was well represented, with adults, and the state’s first junior quiz bowl team in a number of years. Thanks to Laurie Menzie and Jodi Crossgrove for working with our junior team. Also, congratulations to Nathan and Jenny Thomas for breeding the 2018 Cow of the Year, T-Triple-T Platinum, Ex 94 2E. They presently co-own Platinum with other syndicate members. The Distinguished Leadership Award was presented to George Miller, of Select Sires. Many of you knew George during his tenure at Select, he was instrumental in breeding and acquiring Round Oak Rag Apple Elevation, one of the greatest sires of our breed. At the National Convention, I along with Laurie Menzie and other Ohio members met with Jodi Wright from Missouri. Jodi has designed websites for other state associations and our board thought it would be a good idea to have her look at redesigning

Committees are working hard to plan tours, events, and junior programs for our Convention to be held June 21 - 25, 2021 at the Columbus Convention Center. The Publicity/Promotions Committee is asking for some help; look over their questionnaire, consider contacting them if you have information. If you would be interested in working on a committee let the office know, we

would appreciate your input and help. Remember the National Convention in 2021 is Ohio’s opportunity to showcase our great herds and tourist attractions in Ohio, let’s make our Convention a memorable one for our Holstein friends from across the U.S. May your harvest this fall be productive and keep safe.

A Message from the President By Bill Indoe

As we rapidly reach fall, the Ohio Holstein Association has had a busy summer. First, thank you to the delegates and members who went to National Convention held in Wisconsin. Ohio led the way in proposing that Holstein Association USA (HAUSA) have a reduced registration fee period along with a catch up option. This idea passed! Further details on what will happen with this resolution going forward will be coming from HAUSA. On the same note of helping members, Terry Rawn has approached Ohio Holstein with a desire to help our members buy and sell cattle. He has come to numerous meetings and has already sold many animals for breeders. He is not an

employee, but we are sending him referrals. He is a long time member of our association and seems to be helping out very nicely. Call Terry at 301-788-5532 or Ohio Holstein office at 330-264-9088 if you need help selling your excess cattle. On November 16th, the Fall Tour will be at ST Genetics Heifer Center in South Charleston. Presently they have six robots up and running and have a great facility with outstanding cattle. We will also have a sale after the tour at ST. We want to thank ST Genetics for this opportunity! It should be a great time. Lastly, I want to wish good luck to all who are showing in the fall shows. Let everyone see what we have to offer in Ohio! As always if you have any questions and/or ideas for Ohio Holstein, please feel free to call me at 330-608-9770 or email at richmanfarmsinc@yahoo.com. Thanks!

Inspiring Youth to Learn and Love Dairy

“About five years ago, a girl and her sister from church were in 4-H and wanted to take a calf to the county fair for a 4-H project,” and that’s how it began for Bill and Deanna Lund of Lund View Farm in Norwalk. As they headed into retirement, the Lunds suddenly found themselves inspiring young kids who craved a connection with livestock. “The first calf that they took was a March calf we bought from Scott Knoll and we carried it in the back of my pickup to the farm and that calf ended up as Junior Champion at the District 9 show that year.” The next year, the girls threw a birthday party for the calf and invited their friends to the farm and their interest was piqued. “The second year we had eight kids who were interested, and they were having trouble finding a 4-H club, so my wife and I started a club that year and we now have about

20 kids total and they take various projects.” The heifers stay at Bill’s farm where they built a new barn after a tornado damaged their old barn. “A year ago, we built a new building putting a lot of thought into it making it convenient for the kids to go in the pens and bring their heifers out,” Bill explained. For the first couple of years they limited their projects to calves and heifers. They would breed the heifers, calve them in and the idea was to sell the cows to dairymen. But as it has turned out, Bill owns about seven cows that are in other herds plus a couple of cows that are housed at Ty Etgen’s. The search for good cattle has taken Bill around the state buying from Ohio breeders, “We bought a fall calf from Lingles and she was Junior Champion at the District 8 and District 9 shows.” In 2018, Bill went beyond the

Stunning Corvette Google was named Grand Champion of the 2019 Ohio State Fair 4-H Show and the District 8 show for Kayla Cring of Norwalk and she will be on the colored shavings in Madison on October 1st for the Junior Holstein Show. “Lunds let me show in kitty showmanship and then the next year I got to show a calf and today I won grand champion,” exclaimed Kayla Cring, a fifth year veteran, as she held “Google” after winning Grand Champion at the District 8 show. Like all of the youth in their 4-H club, Kayla had no farm background or experience before she began showing, “I have met a ton of new people and I never realized the hard work that farmers put in every day. I’ve learned to be grateful for the simple things like milk and eggs.” Bill explained that that these kids are void of any farm background and Cooper Marsh of Norwalk is one of those, “It’s fun taking care of the cows and I like doing the work.” His younger sister, Kendall Marsh is in her first year of showing and holding her calf she said, “I like it, it’s really hard though.” And then when asked what she liked best she replied with a grin, “I like winning.” When the kids are in school, they

work with their heifers once or twice a week, but after school lets out they head to the farm four and five times a week as their schedules allow. Fourteen year old Mia Strong of Norwalk commented, “I really like how you can connect with them. At first, they are really bad at walking and then they start learning and I like the connection and seeing their progress.” She added, “I’ve learned to wake up earlier and that washing is not always fun, but the rest of it is.” The Lunds have taught these kids every aspect of a dairy operation including milking, feeding, clipping, the trials, the errors, and they can keep track of the cows calving on the surveillance cameras that were installed in

the barn. “I’ve given them the code and they can watch the cows that are about to calve and they will notify me if there is one that is close,” Bill commented. Bill also emphasized the responsibility and initiative the youth have taken, “They made up their own schedule for fair week. They have to work a twohour shift to pick up manure, keep the cows clean and sweep the aisles.” The kids work hard on their projects, but they also enjoy fellowship as the girls had a sleep over in the barn. Bill commented, “The girls moved the bales around and set up a place spend the night in the barn.” While they are no longer working regular jobs Bill noted, “It seems like we are working harder now than ever.” He concluded, “They are pretty much like our family since we don’t have any kids.” The Lund family began milking cows in 1922. Bill and his brother Carl managed the farm after they graduated from The Ohio State University. Since the mid 90s, Bill has worked in the insurance business until five years ago when he retired. The cows were sold four years ago, and the cropping is managed by Carl’s son and grandson, Brian and Matthew.

Heifers of all ages and stages find a home at Lund View for their 4-H club. OHIO NEWS

OHA member Linda Wolf is shining a big light on the dairy industry as she earned the National Mrs. Agriculture USA title. Read how that happened in her own words!

2019 Mrs. Agriculture USA

Linda, Kurt, and their two-yearold son Leo reside on a grain farm in New Bavaria.

Hello, I’m Linda Wolf from New Bavaria, and I am proud be the 2019 National Mrs. Agriculture USA. It still shocks me to say that! I am so blessed that I was chosen to wear the crown and serve as an advocate for agriculture through this new role. When I started on this journey, I never dreamed that I would have the experiences that have unfolded. However, I’m thankful that I have the ability to share my love of agriculture with others and hopefully share what we do as an industry with those who are well removed from the farm. Agriculture has always been an important part of my life; it was instilled in me at a very young age having grown up on the family farm. It did not take long to know that I wanted to be a part of this wonderful community in every facet possible. This passion led me to earn a Bachelor of Science degree in Agriculture from The Ohio State University, where I met my husband, Kurt. Together with our son, Leo, we grain farm and raise and show dairy cattle. I also have the pleasure of

helping others write their agriculture stories for generations to come, by working for RaboAgrifinance, as a Relationship Manager. I still thought that I could be doing more to help spread the word about our industry and when I learned of the Miss Agriculture USA organization, I thought this could be a fun way to do just that! I applied to be a county queen in Ohio to compete at the Ohio competition. I was fortunate to win the title of Ohio Mrs. Agriculture USA and a trip to the national competition. While at the national event, I met so many wonderful women who are passionate about agriculture and being Agvocates for the industry. While, I was blessed to walk away with a national title, I also created many friends and learned about different industries that we don’t experience every day in Ohio. Through my title I now have the responsibility to spread the word of Agriculture. I do this as much as possible on social media as well as public events. I hope that by having the title of Mrs. Agriculture USA, I am able to help educate consumers and show how farmers are trying their best every day to raise, healthy, delicious, and sustainable products. If you have more questions on the Miss Agriculture USA organization or how to register to be a 2020 queen, you can email me at mrsagricultureusa@outlook.com or follow me on Instagram at @nationalmrsagricultureusa2019 or check out missagricultureusa.org. The Miss Agriculture USA is a new nonprofit queen organization that is much more than just about agriculture, it's about building confidence, promoting self-esteem, developing public speaking skills, shaping strong leaders, networking and forming lasting friendships.

The Hidden Connections be Canada’s Master Breede hind r Award

This year Holstein Canada’ s Master Breeder award celebrated its 90th anniversary. Here we look at the history of this prestigi ous accolade and discover some interest ing links with the award’s most frequent winner.

NO. OF TIMES A MASTER BREEDER HAS BEEN AWARDED TO A HERD

ince its inception in 1929, over 1000 Master Breeder shields have been awarded. Several herds have received a Master Breeder award multiple times (see Table-1), but only one herd is an incredible four-time recipient. That herd is High Point Holsteins in Port Perry, Ontario, and interestingly it was in Port Perry where the idea of a Master Breeder award was born. The notion was dreamt up by RM (Bob) Holtby after he attended a dairy breeder’s short course as an “Instructor in Judging” at the Ontario Agricultural College in Guelph. Bob listened to a speaker from Michigan State University who was talking about profitabl e farming and made reference to profitable famers as “Master Farmers”. Bob thought – why not have “Master Breeders of Holstein cattle”? After a successful presentation to the Holstein Canada Board of Directors the award was launched and the first Master BreedIn 2015 the 4-time Master Breeder herd High Point Holsteins received a “Century of Holstein Award” for 100 years of membership with Holstein Canada.

We would like to thank the Bott family for making these high scoring, high testing individuals available to us, along with their herd mates that joined our herd this summer. These cows are a testament to solid breeding, and that “pretty” cows can live in a large freestall environment trouble free.

On the National Front As I am finally putting something together for a column, the mornings are getting cooler and summer seems to be coming to an end. Praying we do not have an early frost. Crops are well behind whatever normal might be. Summer shows are over and numbers were very good for the state of the dairy industry. The enjoyment of families and friends at the shows is always good to see. Young people in the ring is very encouraging for the future of the industry. The National Convention was a HUGE success. Thank you to the Wisconsin Holstein members for an event-filled

Convention. The genetics conference held in conjunction with the convention was very well attended and had a wealth of new and interesting information. The videos of the genetics conference are available online at the HAUSA website at Holsteinusa.com. It was great to see many YDLI alums and catchup on growing families. The IT upgrade (Elevation Project) at Holstein is moving along and the transfer process is working well. Enabling quicker and easier transfers at sales and shows. The online bull search is one part recently add as the Red Book Plus subscription.

The project will continue to grow and add more applications as each section becomes more functional. Looking forward to the Fall Shows and the many friends and connections made as dairymen gather together. Our Fall board meeting will be in November. Talk is the possibility of a visit to Washington to make known our concerns of the dairy industry. As we look to the future of Holstein any suggestions are welcome.

The Ohio Holstein Juniors have had a busy summer. Once school was out for the summer, a few of our younger juniors began studying for quiz bowl competition at the 2019 National Convention in Appleton, Wisconsin. Ava, Nora, and Leah Budny and Eve Crossgrove studied and rehearsed with their coaches Laurie Menzie and Jodi Crossgrove. This was the girls first year in junior quiz bowl, while they did not come home with any awards, we are proud of them for giving all their best to the contest. Korey Oeschle also represented Ohio at the Convention as a member of the Holstein USA Junior Advisory Committee. Then it was off to the Ohio State Fair, with a tremendous Junior Holstein Show. Congratulations to all the winners and exhibitors. A big thank you to Allison McCummons and Keaton Topp for the great awards that they ordered that were presented to the Champions and Reserves of the Junior Show. Class winners received buckets of show supplies. Also,

thanks to our Ohio Holstein Queen, Kinley Topp, she represented the Ohio Holstein Association by passing out awards at the State Fair and our district shows across the state. At the conclusion of the State Fair Holstein Show, the winner of the junior raffle was drawn. Dallas Rynd held the winning ticket and is now using the brand new Wilson trailer for a year. Korey Oeschle was in charge of this year’s raffle; the tickets were sold by our junior members profiting over $2500, which will be earmarked for junior activities for Convention 2021. Thank you to everyone who purchased raffle tickets, and especially to Wilson’s trailers and Beck’s Hybrids, Kyle and Jay Ackley, for their sponsorship of our raffle. Juniors will be planning another raffle soon. Keep up with junior happenings and meetings on the Ohio Holstein Facebook page and we welcome all members to future junior meetings. We would love to have many more juniors join us.

Queen’s Corner

By Kinley Topp

This was a very busy summer show season but also very enjoyable. Seeing the quality of the animals at the district shows and the state fairs made me realize how blessed we are to be pushed to better our herds. I’ve always loved a good, competitive show because that is how you grow and improve. I was lucky enough to spend most of my show season with two pleasant and energetic people, Melissa and Bobby Hart. Bobby was slightly jealous of my title, crown, and sash, while Melissa was more worried about the fact that Bobby might

ruin our “perfect” figures by the numerous buckets of fries and donuts he continued to bring to us. However, I did do much more than just munch on junk food all day long. It didn’t take long for me to realize that being the queen is more than just looking pretty, passing out ribbons, and posing for multiple pictures. If any of you reading this made an appearance at any of the Holstein shows at the Ohio State Fair you may have seen me in the middle of the ring with a pitchfork and paper towels in hand, by now I’m sure you’ve already assumed what I was doing. I was delighted to have been able to travel all over the state and visit all of the Ohio Holstein members. My dad travelled with me to all of the shows and also judged a few of them. I have always had a strong passion for showmanship and judging. I was extremely grateful when he granted me my wish of judging showmanship at two of the shows. As we approach the fall show season, I look forward to seeing you at the shows or maybe even on the colored shavings in Madison or Louisville. Good luck to all and have a happy and safe harvest!

Hello! My name is Kinley Topp and I am the reigning Ohio Holstein Queen. I’m the daughter of Keith and Kindra Topp, and we live in Botkins, where I have been raised on Topp-View farms. We milk around 35 cows and raise many heifers. I’ve always had a passion for dairy cows especially the Holstein cow. I’m so glad to have been able to travel this year and meet multiple people along with visit old friends. The best feeling in the world is when you see little girls looking up to you. I was once that little girl looking up to the young ladies in their sash and crown, which is why I am so grateful to be in this position.

Moff Receives Obie Snider Award at AADS Harrisburg, Pa. – Steve Moff of Columbiana, Ohio, was awarded the Obie Snider Award on September 15th at the 56th All-American Dairy Show (AADS), held at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex and Expo Center in Harrisburg. The award, established in memory of Obie Snider of Bedford County, (PA) a founder of the All-American Dairy Show, recognizes an individual who places significant value in service to the industry and community, and displays high standards of conduct. Steve Moff of Columbiana, Ohio, has served as a board member for the All-American Dairy Show since 2005, assisting with youth activities and show ethics, and is chair of the Show Advisory Committee. For 39 years, Moff has been a dairy

He was also in the inaugural class of the association’s Young Dairy Leaders Institute. He has held offices in the state association, including serving as president when Ohio hosted the national convention in 2000 where he first met Obie Snider. “In our first conversation, Obie, being a man of faith, complimented the invocation I gave at that convention,” said Moff. “To be considered for this award

in his name is so humbling, and I was completely flabbergasted when I learned I was a recipient.” Steve is the assistant dairy show superintendent at the Ohio State Fair and serves as a board member and dairy superintendent for the Canfield Fair. Always anxious to help youth, he has served as a 4-H leader and has been recognized as an outstanding judge for youth shows, in addition to judging many other local, regional, and state shows.

This spring, ADA Mideast took diete�c intern students from more than 10 Ohio and West Virginia universi�es to local dairy farms to learn how farmers care for their cows. Students also received nutri�on informa�on to help them inform their future clients about the benefits of dairy foods and address common misconcep�ons. As a result of ADA Mideast’s farm tours, 96% of a�endees reported that they now feel posi�ve or very posi�ve about dairy farming - an increase from 55% of students prior to the tours.

“I would recommend dairy products and support of farmers to anyone!” - Diete�c Student, West Virginia University

“I didn't think this tour was necessary at ﬁrst, but it truly changed my outlook on dairy products & how farming should be done.” - Diete�c Student, University of Cincinna�

I really enjoyed the tour and it changed my a�tudes about how dairy cows are treated. - Diete�c Student, Bowling Green State University
