From the Executive Director By Tom Thorbahn

Have you noticed the feel and look of fall in the air, the cooler nights, green corn and soybean fields turning color, and our neighbors are beginning to harvest pumpkins and gourds. Many county fairs are finishing their runs and soon combines will be rolling across Ohio fields as harvest begins, along with the leaves turning to shades of yellow, orange, red and brown. These all tell us that another year is slowly coming to an end, we can be thankful for all we have been given. Congratulations to all who exhibited at the Ohio State Fair, it was a great show with quality deep in every class. Considering how competitive our black and white and red and white shows were this summer, I’m sure that Ohio will be well represented in the fall shows. Good luck to each of you. The Ohio Holstein office had some major improvements this past summer. The board of directors approved a new roof for the office building, as well as repairing the parking lot. Money spent for these was taken from the Ohio Holstein Schwab investment funds. These improvements should keep our building in great shape for years to come. A thank you again to the Ohio Holstein women for their redecorating at the office as well.

A Message from the President By Bill Indoe

The barn had new life on Richman Road as young 4-Hers needed some calves to show at the fair. I gave them a tour of the calf barn and told them they could choose whatever calf they wanted. They made their picks and spent the next few weeks leading and washing and washing and leading until each heifer was broke to lead and ready for the Wayne County Fair. As those kids came day after day, I admired their determination to make their experience a success. I hate to admit it, but I get tired. Life on the dairy farm can wear us out and I know I’m not the only one in this boat. There are a lot of other men and women on the farm who spend 18 hours a day working and some days you wonder why you’re in this business. None of it makes sense, until you go to the county fair and

watch those kids lead those heifers around the ring and smile when they get a blue ribbon. Then you realize it’s the youth of our industry that spur us along to keep getting up at 3 am when a heifer is calving or burning the midnight oil when there are crops to get in. It’s the youth who show up to bid on a heifer at the spring sale that continues to encourage Ohio Holstein to host live sales, even when the possibility exists that we might lose a few bucks. We may get tired, but the youth of our industry is tireless. And as the old saying goes, they are the future of this industry and deserve our full support and sound leadership. Contact me, if you’re thinking about consigning to the Fall Sale on November 20th in Wooster. I hope everyone has a safe and bountiful harvest.

Bonnie Ayars Earns National Dairy Shrine’s

Pioneer Award group of industry leaders whose portraits and stories are displayed in National Dairy Shrine’s Dairy Hall of Fame and Museum in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin.

Bonnie Ayars, the respected dairy cattle breeder, teacher, coach, and agriculture advocate from Mechanicsburg, Ohio, is the recipient of the National Dairy Shrine’s Pioneer Award. She will join a distinguished

In 1951, Bonnie Ayars was born into a dairy farm family. 4-H impacted her youth and a special Jersey cow project helped to finance her college education as a music major. However, the dream changed, and she eventually graduated from The Ohio State University (OSU) with a degree in Home Economics Education and a minor in music. Then back to a different farm and new dreams in 1972 when she and husband John were married. With persistence, the couple bred and developed one of the nation’s finest Guernsey herds with the Land of Living prefix and then added the partnership of New View Swiss with more prize-winning cows at the farm in Mechanicsburg, Ohio. A passionate and engaging educator,

Ayars has been a teacher for 48 years. She initially taught high school and middle school Family and Consumer Science but also worked in guidance and was a teacher consultant for the Ohio Department of Education. In 2006, Ayars accepted a position at Ohio State University as a Dairy Program Specialist and working with all 4-H dairy programming, coaching the collegiate and 4-H judging teams, and teaching in the Animal Sciences Department. She eventually transitioned to only the collegiate portion of her appointment but continues to work with 4-H dairy programs. Her judging teams have won many contests, but the real accolade came in 2019 when the Ohio State team won the National Intercollegiate Contest at World Dairy Expo. Former OSU judging team member, Hannah Thompson-Weeman of Virginia, says, “Ohio State’s dairy judging program, the dairy community as a whole, and that of the continued on page 37

MVP Dairy to Host OHIO FALL TOUR AND SALE

By Bev Berens

MVP Dairy will host the 2021 Ohio Holstein Sale and Fall Tour at its Celina, Ohio, location on Oct. 23. Tour Chairman Paul Haskins of Butler, Ohio, said, “We are always trying to find a different mix of farms and areas of the state to make it easy for people to attend. One exciting aspect of this year’s tour is the outstanding facilities to handle the crowd, because they do it every day.” MVP is a partnership between the McCarty and VanTilburg families, who were both looking for expansion opportunities to fit each family’s operational and marketing needs. The unique relationship allows both operations to be more efficient and sustainable, benefitting the cows, the humans who care for the herd and the environment. The McCartys were looking for a way to level the highs and lows of cash-cropping

by marketing commodities through livestock. The farm had been honing no-till, cover crop, nutrient management, grid soil sampling and water conservation practices for many years. The VanTilburg dairy, with farms also located in Kansas, was planning to start another farm in Ohio to be closer to the Danone plant in Minster and expand an existing relationship with the manufacturer. The two families met by chance and quickly realized their shared set of core business values: best management practices when it comes to protecting soil, groundwater and surface water; excellence in cow care and comfort; employees who are valued; and partners who are treated equitably. Both operations align with Danone’s quest toward a reduced environmental footprint.

According to Ken McCarty, the partnership is an even split between the two families and is governed by a five-person

board including two brothers from each family and Herd Manager Brock Peters. The McCartys bring the dairy knowledge, relationship with Danone and experience within their model. The VanTilburgs bring the local knowledge and experience to provide the farm with feed. All feed raised in and for the partnership are Non-GMO Project verified; the VanTilburgs use technology that has traceability to the acre and a knowledge of all practices and processes of growing feed. Ninety-five percent of their fields receive a cover crop planting. Precision farming technology adjusts inputs as needed and monitors crop removal and nutrient replacement needs. Six funnel-vented barns can house up to 4,500 cows in a state-of-the-art facility that took more than a year to build. Four hundred 72-inch high-efficiency fans move air inside the barns, and sensor-conAnother day, another relaxing ride on the rotary during milking. (MVP Photo)

There were two major hurdles in starting the farm: the permitting process and the court of public opinion. “During the permitting process we learned pretty quickly that there was a lot of misinformation about dairy farming being shared,” VanTilburg said. “That’s when we committed to the dairy learning center on-site, so we could welcome the community into our facility.” From the process, the partners realized their responsibility was not only in milking cows and growing crops, but also in educating the public, which led to the implementation of a learning center on the farm.

The learning center at MVP Dairy is open to visitors who want to see a dairy operation up close and personal. Producers are also frequent visitors while checking out MVP's practices. (MVP Dairy photo) trolled bunk line soakers over the feed rails add another level of cooling for maximum cow comfort. They continue tweaking the system to optimize cow comfort and maximize energy efficiency. Airflow leaving the barns is directed away from neighbors as much as possible. Feed commodities are stored and mixed inside the barn to reduce shrink and travel distance to feed alleys. Measurable environmental stewardship outcomes show the partnership is serious about walking lightly on the land. No-till practices along with eight species of cover crops add nutrients and hold soil in place. The farm maintains wildlife boxes, forests, 11 acres of buffer strips and 131 acres of filter strips. These practices result in a reduction of 6,755 tons of carbon dioxide-equivalent greenhouse gases - the equivalent of 1,312 average passenger cars removed from the road, 1,842 tons of sequestered carbon and 5,499 tons of soil saved, the equivalent of 344 dump loads, according to MVP Dairy. “I think the sustainability efforts that MVP tracks will be interesting to our members,” Haskins said. “They even take sustainability efforts to the genetic level by breeding cows that are more efficient. I had

never really thought of that angle before.” Validus Certified is a third-party auditor used to monitor animal welfare and Ecopractices audits crop practices. Both families support third-party audits to retain accountability across the board, and to comply with local, state and federal regulations.

“Large-scale ag has its challenges in terms of acceptance,” said McCarty. “Our goal and hope are that we can show what we do to other dairymen, to the public and to anyone that wants to come. We want to show that we try our best every day to operate our farm at the highest level possible, whether that is animal care, environmental stewardship or policies and procedures we put into place to care for our team members, and that we try to engage with our communities who support us as well.” “It is interesting to see what the farm is doing with their learning center,” Haskins said. “Not everyone has the resources to do something like this, so it will be a fun part of the tour and showcase a farm operating at a different scale than some of the farms we toured in the recent past.”

Fun Auction Raises $10,100 for College Scholarships at COBA’s 75th Celebration Columbus, Ohio - 75 years in business – a milestone that few businesses have reached. Yet, COBA/Select Sires celebrates that exact achievement in 2021. To memorialize the 75th anniversary, a series of events was hosted in the greater Columbus area June 16-18, 2021. To begin the events, COBA’s board of directors met on Wednesday. An open house and annual meeting were held for member-owner-customers on Thursday, a special dinner celebration was hosted for the board and delegates Thursday evening, and the week was closed out with delegate meetings on Friday morning. The open house was kicked off with guests visiting the newly renovated COBA/ Select Sires office in Columbus, Ohio. At Select Sires Inc., in Plain City, Ohio, the event continued with a bull parade, which lead into lunch by Heflin’s Caterers, and COBA’s annual meeting. General manager, Duane Logan, and board president, Chad Steinberger, lead the meeting to update attendees about the state of the cooperative, events over the last two years, and the projected future. (Livestreams of the bull parade and annual meeting are available on COBA’s Facebook page.) Upon

conclusion of the meeting, guests enjoyed touring Select Sires’ facilities and learning more about their processes and procedures. Member-owner-customers representing all eight states of COBA’s service territory and Mexico were present to enjoy the festivities. The special dinner celebration on Thursday evening, was held at the Hilton Columbus at Easton. Special guests and distinguished service award recipients were recognized. Steinberger and Logan addressed the crowd, and ag comedian, Drew Hastings, engaged the audience with his entertaining humor. Topping the night was a fun auction to raise money for college scholarships to students whose families are COBA member-owner-customers. A total of $10,100 was raised by selling COBA memorabilia, far surpassing the $2,720 raised at the 50th celebration’s fun auction. Auctioneer for the evening was Randall Kiko, of Kiko Auctioneers in northeast Ohio, who also sits on the COBA board of directors. Kiko’s entertaining ringmen for the auction were Bob Griggs, Kirby Pair, Steve Deam, Tyler Chupp, Chad Steinberger and Kevin Jorgensen. High-dollar items for the auction included a vintage COBA

Ohio Holstein Women Secretary Sara

Who Am I? As the current secretary of the Ohio Holstein Women, let me introduce myself.

I am Sara Twining, daughter of Merle Weiler and Emily (Vines) Weiler. Both parents were from farm families. One of my earliest memories was of walking with my grandfather Vines out to bring in a fresh cow and her calf. He gave me a stick to carry to make me brave. Jesse Benton Vines was a Registered Holstein man and gave each of his grandsons a registered calf. I had to wait and marry a dairy farmer to get in the Registered Holstein crowd. The only boy who stayed with dairy farming was my cousin Jim Vines of Paradise Hill, Ashland County. I always wanted to marry a farmer and in August 1968, Raymond Twining and I got married. It wasn’t until years later in one of my busiest years helping Ray milk that I realized I didn’t want to be a farmer, just marry one. Maybe that’s why Husband Ray always called me his help of last resort! The year we married, the local Black River Schools superintendent called to ask if I’d be willing to teach fourth grade at Huntington Township where we lived. So the first two years of marriage were my first two years of teaching. The next year our first son Doug was born, followed a year later by our oldest daughter Jacquie. After a few years of fulltime wife and mom, I was asked to substitute teach and second son Scott came along, quickly followed by daughters Kathy and Tina. We wondered if teaching caused the frequent pregnancies. No more teaching for me, but I was recruited to be on the school board for five years during which time our youngest son Patrick was born. One wife, one husband, six children in about twenty years and more than thirty years with them in Black River schools. The only babies now are six grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. In our earlier married years Ray and I became involved in Farm Bureau, Ohio Holstein Association, Grange, and our local church. We both have held leadership positions in each organization over the years. 12

Twining

In her later years Ray’s mother Muriel had Registered Romney sheep and she thought we ought to use all that beautiful wool. So she and I joined the Lorain County Spinners and Weavers Guild. We were in awe at the wonderful products the members made. Soon we were making our own wonderful spun yarn from her sheep and learning to felt, weave, and dye it too.

and keeping busy with many things, I didn’t take time to ‘do art.’ But now is my season to enjoy that creative side of me. Your season will come again, too.” His dad proudly said that artist streak runs in the family. So that’s who I am, Sara Twining, Ohio Holstein Women Secretary.

The year 2000 was eye opening for me. That summer we helped host the National Holstein Convention in Columbus where we met wonderful cow people from all over this nation. A month later in Cincinnati I attended Convergence, an International Gathering of fiber artists and vendors. I found what I call my “new song;” color became a new language for me to praise the Lord. Since then I’ve designed and woven the pulpit cloths for our new church sanctuary, discovered the beauty of dyeing my own threads for spinning and weaving, and learned how to design and construct clothing from those fibers. What fun! Now I enter my fiber art, as well as paintings and drawings in the Medina and Lorain County Fairs.

Sift flour with salt; cut in shortening till size of small peas. Add cheese and mix lightly. Blend in water as for pastry. Roll dough on lightly floured surface to 18X12 inch rectangle.

Moisten edges of pastry and fold over peach, pinching to seal.Place dumplings on ungreased baking sheet; you may want to put parchment paper on the sheet first. Bake at 425 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. 6 servings

I have always enjoyed drawing and painting. With the help of friend Margaret Dreher I opened that skill of my “new song.” Each year I paint a milk can to be sold at the Lorain County Dairy Youth Auction: sometimes a farm scene, or a series of wildflowers, once a carousel of the dairy breeds, the OSU Dairy Barn, and this year a parade of local old barns from the area. A few years ago I was asked to paint the cover for The Ohio Holstein News. I did and here’s what it came out like. (Melissa, if you don’t have a copy available, I can take a photo and email to you.)So there’s an artist in this old farm wife. Recently I met a young artist at a Weiler Family Reunion. He admitted to using many mediums as an artist, but now that he’s out of high school, he said he only has time for work. I told him I understood. I said, “ As a wife and mother of six, helping on the farm, teaching piano and prayer, playing for church and choir every Sunday,

2021 All-Ohio Show Rules

1) A point system will be used to determine All-Ohio winners for the current year show season. Red & White and Black & White Holsteins registered with the Holstein Association USA, Inc. 87% RHA or greater are eligible for recognition. 2) Points are awarded for the following shows: A) Spring Dairy Expo; B) Ohio State Fair; C) A District Show; D) All National Shows. In order to substitute points, the animal must have been shown at either the Ohio State Fair Open Show or the Spring Dairy Expo. 3) Point system is as follows: a) Spring Dairy Expo, Ohio State Fair and National Shows except the International Holstein Show (Madison, WI): Top ten (10) placing’s- 1st-20, 2nd-18, 3rd-16, 4th-14, 5th-12, 6th-10, 7th-8; Sth-6, 9th-4, 10th-2.

b) District Shows: All animals shown at any district show will get a one-time 10-point score toward All-Ohio. c) International Holstein Show (Madison, WI or Royal Winter Fair): Top fifteen (15) placing- 1st-30, 2nd-28, 3rd-26, 4th-24, 5th-22, 6th-20, 7th-18, Sth-16, 9th-14, 10th-12, llth-10, 12th-8, 13th- 6, 14th-4, 15th-2. For the three-yearold classes, the Junior Three-Year-Olds and Senior ThreeYear-Olds that show in the Futurity will be separated for All Ohio calculation. Example: If 1st is Sr 3 and 2nd is a Jr 3, they both will get 20 points. d) For Red & White Holsteins, the Grand International Red & White Show at Madison: Top twelve (12) placing’s- 1st25, 2nd-23, 3rd-21, 4th-19, 5th-17, 6th-15, 7th-13, Sth-11, 9th-9, 10th-7, 11 th-5, 12th-3.

the same as Red & White shows.

5) An exhibitor must show one or more animals at a District Show to have any animals eligible for All-Ohio. Animals can be shown in only one class in any show. 6) To be eligible for All-Ohio honors, exhibitor must be a member of the Ohio Holstein Association as of April 1, of the current year. An animal whose ownership is transferred outside of the state during the course of the show season can still compete for All-Ohio under previous ownership but must meet this condition and all other rules listed. Eligible points follow the animal for calculation. 7) In the case of multiple partners, at least one owner must be an Ohio Holstein member and show at a District show. 8) No All-Ohio points will be given at the Spring Dairy Expo for Spring Heifer calves. 9) A professional 5 x 7 photograph must be on file with the Ohio Holstein Association for an animal to be considered for AllOhio honors. All photos of heifers must be current year photos. If you have taken a photo of a two-year-old cow, this photo can be used for the Junior Two-Year-Old, Senior Two-YearOld, and Junior Three-Year-Old, and Senior Three-Year-Old cows. If you have the photo taken as a three-year-old, then this photo can be used for the Junior Three-Year-Old, Senior Three-Year-Old and Four-Year-Old photo. If taken as a fiveyear-old, this photo can be used for the Five-Year-Old, Aged and 150,000 Pound Cow. For group classes, pictures are accepted, but not required.

Example: If you exhibited "Bessie" at Spring Dairy Expo and she was first place and received 20 points and then received 10 points at a district show, but was not shown at the Ohio State Fair, and if Bessie's owner exhibited at the Ohio State Fair and then took Bessie to Harrisburg where she stood fifth, those 12 points could be substituted for the Ohio State Fair. But if "Bessie" did not go to the Spring Dairy Expo or the Ohio State Fair, she is not eligible for All-Ohio.

Bred and Owned - An award will be given to the top-placing animal bred and owned by exhibitor in each class. These animals will then be considered for Champion bred and owned by exhibitor.

e) For Red & White Holsteins, all other National Red & White Shows: Top ten (10) placing’s- 1st-10, 2nd-9, 3rd-8, 4th-7, 5th-6, 6th-5, 7th-4, Sth- 3, 9th-2, 10th-l. 4) Points can be counted from a District Show and two other shows. See Rule 2 for a listing of shows that may be used.

Points at a National Show can be substituted for the Spring Dairy Expo or State Fair points, but the exhibitor must have exhibited at the show in order to substitute for that particular show. No points from any shows can be substituted for your district points. Dry cows will be shown but only District show points will be counted towards All-Ohio. Dry cow points from shows can be substituted for milking cow classes at ½ points,

On the National Front Ohio has had an excellent crop year and a beautiful fall season. Looking back on the summer a HUGE thank you goes out to the Pennsylvania Holstein members for planning and executing a great National Holstein Convention. Congratulations to Dean Jackson of PA., and Tony Brey of WI., as newly elected members of the National Holstein Board. At the end of July, Ohio had very nice show with solid numbers (175) at the Mid-

East Summer National in Columbus. The atmosphere was different than a normal State Fair with no public and no parking problems. The National Show Committee will meet late in October. If anyone has suggestions on National shows, please let me know. Plans are to look at the number of shows, locations, and what might be expected from the National. The full board will meet in early December for the fall

board meeting. Nominations are in for delegates to the National Convention and all are looking forward to an excellent National Convention in South Dakota. Any questions or problem please call, text or email. 614-205-7179 smouric@aol. com. Steve Moff, HAUSA Director smouric@aol.com or 614-205-7179 SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2021 |

2021 Junior All-Ohio Show Rules

The Junior All-Ohio winners are featured in the All-Ohio Calendar and owners receive a special award at the Annual Meeting. To be eligible for Junior All-Ohio Awards, youth should be members of the Ohio Junior Holstein Association by July 15 of the current year. The awards are selected by a point system under the following rules:

D. In case of ties, two awards will be given.

E. An exhibitor must show one or more animals at a District Show to have any animals eligible for Junior All-Ohio.

OWNERSHIP

A. Animals must be owned and registered in the name(s) of one or more Ohio Junior Holstein Association members. For animals owned in partnership, all owners must be members of the Ohio Junior Holstein Association. All animals must stand on the Association records in the individual name of the exhibitor. Adult-Junior partnerships are not acceptable. Multiple junior exhibitors may own an animal in partnership. If ownership of a partnership animal is changed at any time during the show season, Junior All-Ohio points end/begin with the change in ownership.

A. A 5X7 professional photograph of the animal must be on file with Ohio Holstein.

B. Registrations or transfers to the Ohio Junior member(s) must be made by July 15 of the current year.

All photos of heifers must be current year photos. If you have taken a photo of a 2 year old cow, this photo can be used for Junior Two-year-old, Senior Two-Year-Old, Junior Three-YearOld and Senior Three-Year-Old cows. If you have the photo taken as a Three-Year-Old, then this photo can be used for the Three-Year-Old and the Four-Year-Old photo. If taken at four years, the photo can be used for the Four- and Five-YearOld photo. If taken as Five-Year-Old, this photo can be used for the Five-Year-Old, Aged and 150,000 Pound Cow. (These photo changes are also used in the All-Ohio rules)

II. ELIGIBLE ANIMALS

A. Animals must meet the ownership requirements listed above.

B. To be eligible for points from placings at the District, State and National shows, the animal must have been shown by one of the Ohio Junior member-owners.

C. Junior exhibitors must show their own animals to be considered for junior awards. Exceptions will be made for exhibitors who may be physically impaired, have two animals showing in the same class or must be absent on show day due to other commitments. In case of these exceptions, another boy or girl who meets the age requirements of the respective breed may show the animal with the authorization of the breed superintendent. Such authorization must be sought in writing, prior to the show and verified by a signed notice by the person in charge of the conflicting activity.

III. POINT SYSTEM

A. Spring Expo Show and Ohio State Fair Junior Show – 20 points for first place through 2 points for tenth place.

B. Points from placings from any National Junior Show, designated by the National Junior Advisory Committee, can be substituted in place of a lower point total received from placing at either the Ohio State Fair or the Spring Dairy Expo. The animal must be exhibited by one of the junior owners to be eligible for points. If the animal is not shown by one of the junior owners at a show, it cannot earn Junior All-Ohio points, and points from placings at the National Junior Show cannot be substituted.

C. District Shows – 10 points for any animal shown. An exhibitor must show their animal at any district show to be eligible for Junior All-Ohio points. Note: It is recommended that districts report placings of all District Juniors showing. Dry Cow points from shows can be substituted for milking cow classes at ½ points, the same as Red & White shows. |

IV. HOW TO ENTER

EXAMPLES: Joe Junior owns Bessie. He exhibits other animals at the Spring Expo but does not show Bessie at the Spring Expo. He shows her in her class at his district show and places first. He shows her at the state fair and places fourth. He now has 10 points from the district show and 14 points from the state fair. That is a total of 24 points. He then shows her at the National Junior Show and places second. The points earned at the National Junior Show may be substituted for the state fair points. He cannot substitute the placing at the National Junior Show for the Spring Expo points he missed by not showing Bessie there. After the substitution, Joe and Bessie have 10 points from the district and 18 points from the National Junior Show for a total of 28 points. Jane Junior owns Bossie. She has to attend a school function during the Spring Expo Show. She contacts the show management ahead of time and asks permission to have her heifer shown by another junior member. Jane’s junior friend and Bossie place fifth at the Spring Expo Show. Jane does show her heifer at the State Fair and at the National Junior Show and places second at each. She also showed Bossie at her District show and placed first. Jane’s points from the Spring Expo Show (she is eligible because she asked permission and had another junior show Bossie), from the State Fair and from the District are: 12+18+10=40. However, Jane CAN substitute her National Junior Show placing for the Spring Expo Show. Her new total is: 18+18+10=46. Dick Junior owns Flo. He enters her in the Spring Expo, but Dick’s dad shows Flo in her class. Dick shows Flo at the State Fair and at his District Show. He places third at each. He then takes her to the National Junior Show and Dick shows her there for third place. After the State Fair and the District Show, Dick and Flo have 16+10=26. Dick cannot substitute the National Junior Show placing for the placing Flow and his dad earned at the Spring Expo. Because Dick did not show his own animal or ask permission to have another Junior show his animal at the Spring Expo Show, he cannot receive any points for the Spring Expo Show and placings from another show cannot be used in place of the Spring Expo Show.

Dairy needs a hero

By Barb Lumley

While Melissa patiently waits for my column for the Ohio Holstein News (her deadline is past) I sit here watching SpongeBob SquarePants on television. I am babysitting my four year old great-grandson and when babysitting young children, the children’s shows are a necessity. If you are lucky, they will keep the children quiet for a few minutes, however it is usually ONLY a few minutes in between their other activities. I have a little trouble understanding SpongeBob as he is involved in some strange happenings. Maybe that is due to my age! There are numerous other children’s shows on TV. There are Monster Machines, Peppa Pig, the Chicken Squad, My Little Pony, Paw Patrol, Baby Sharks, Spidey and many more types of characters and shows. Why don’t they have a children’s show featuring a dairy cow as the hero or a show with dairy calves? We have all heard about “the cow that jumped over the moon”, although I am not sure that our youth of today know much about her. A cow could be an astronaut and come up with all kinds of stories and ideas about space, the stars and the moon. There could be a “Mother Cow” teaching life lessons. The calves could escape the pasture fence or barn and become involved in all sorts of adventures! Ask any farmer, don’t they often do that? A calf might dream of growing up to be a “kicker”---on a football or soccer team… and they could teach the kids about the importance of drinking milk and eating dairy foods for strength and muscles. Many of the shows involve teaching, so the stars could be used for math, the moon to educate kids about cheese and more! There could be so many ideas with a cow or calf as the hero or heroine and using the show to advertise milk and dairy products. Seems to me the advertising money taken from your milk checks would be well spent. Remember that while those children’s show are often running all day on TV, the adults would be forced to listen to them and repeatedly hear about the importance of milk and dairy products in everyone’s diet!

however the other breeds could all be friends or neighbors, participate in the adventures and work together to solve problems. We would need a “catchy” name for our hero and one that is easy for the children to remember. “Holly Holstein” might be a good choice. A recent show had the characters seeking a “Golden Chest” filled with something special. With dairy cow or calf characters the chest could be filled with ice cream treats, yogurt, bottles of flavored milk, cheese or even a new baby calf. SpongeBob has a friend named Patrick Star so a good friend for a dairy character might be “Cookie”. Cookies and milk definitely go together! Big City Greens does have a cow, however she never seems to do very much. Cogburn the Rooster rules the roost and is the leader in that show but his decisions always seem to get her and his followers into trouble! (Reminds me of another leader!) I kept wondering how having to watch SpongeBob SquarePants was going to benefit me. Lo and behold, it has helped me to come up with an idea that could benefit dairy farmers! Now we just need someone to take the idea and make it happen! Hey, COBA/ Select Sires or any of the other AI organizations, could you help promote this idea and get the show rolling? Your bulls could be characters in the shows. Remember Ferdinand? He preferred flowers to fighting. “Doorman” could open and close barn doors and gates for “Holly Holstein” and teach children how to be helpful, polite and mind their manners. Some of those kids watching might be managing dairy farms someday and buying semen. The shows could be made available for distribution in many ways. It definitely needs to be on television! Copies could be given as awards at dairy shows and numerous other events. Dairy youth groups could sell them. They could be distributed to school children. They could be available at World Dairy Expo, the All-American, the North American International Livestock Exposition, state fairs, county fairs and so many other places! The show could produce toys, games and many more things featuring the dairy hero. The show could have someone write a catchy theme song. Remember the Baby Shark theme song? Parents and adults couldn’t avoid it and even old people knew it!! Who knew that SpongeBob SquarePants could give me the inspiration for a column and an idea for advertising milk and dairy products that could benefit dairy farmers! I just never know where my ideas are going to come from!

It would be great if the dairy cow character was a Holstein,

Plan ahead to advertise your

Bonnie Ayars Earns National Dairy Shrine’s

Pioneer Award

continued from page 7 many students she has taught and coached, are unquestionably brighter due to Bonnie’s influence.” Dave Fischer, retired Extension and 4-H Dairy Educator from the University of Illinois, says of Bonnie, “I know of no one in the dairy industry and educational system who is more dedicated to teaching young people for the advancement and improvement of the dairy industry.” Possessed with an entrepreneurial spirit, Ayars and her family have created and co-managed several ag-related small businesses. In 2010, they began using their

own milk to make ice cream on the farm. Today, the family continues to operate an ice cream and cheese business, along with an on-farm activity center, under the name Ayars Family Farm. Within these ventures, Bonnie has been able to communicate and educate the public about agriculture, life, and the grit it takes to sustain a family farm. Ayars was World Dairy Expo’s 1994 Dairy Woman of the Year, Ohio’s 1993 Agriculture Woman of the Year, and received Hoard’s Dairyman’s Youth Service Award in 2015. In 2011, Bonnie and John were presented with both the Ohio and Amer-

ican Guernsey Associations’ Outstanding Service Awards. Together they earned the OSU Dairy Science Hall of Service award in 1999 and were inducted into the Ohio State Fair Hall of Fame in 2012. Bonnie has been a 4-H leader, member of the National Holstein Foundation Board, Ohio 4-H Foundation Board, and previously served on the Dairy Shrine Board. She has been very active in several breed associations at the state and national level.

Barb Lumley’s grandson, Zach Lumley, works as the Operations Manager for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and he received his Super Bowl ring, complete with the name on the side of the ring. This is a very exciting time for this young man who grew up in the hill country of eastern Ohio. Sarah Lehner of Delaware, Ohio, who is double majoring in Animal Sciences and Agribusiness and Applied Economics at The Ohio State University won the Merton Sowerby Junior Merit Scholarship. Congrats Sarah! The Ohio Fall Tour will be held at MVP Dairy in Celina on October 23rd. After the tour, the sale will begin at 1:30 pm. The roof has been repaired and some redecorating has been done at the OHA Office in Wooster. Thanks to the Ohio Holstein Women for funding the updates on the interior of the office!

Lauren L’Amoreaux of Louisville, Ohio was this year’s recipient of the Rebecca Boltmann Memorial Scholarship presented at the Ohio State Fair by Cindy Howman. Congratulations Lauren!
