CALENDAR June is dairy month and should serve as a platform to not only celebrate our industry, but promote it as well. We encourage everyone to get out and do at least one thing to promote dairy and dairy cattle this month! We often wonder what the future of the dairy industry will look like. We wonder if the next generations will carry the passion and work ethic that it takes. This issue spotlights many of the youth in our state and their activities over the past few months. From 4-H Dairy Cow Camp, heifer shows, to FFA contests, these activities have shown a large number of youth getting involved and putting themselves out there to further their projects, show off their animals, or to just learn about the dairy industry. As a witness to these events, we couldn’t be more overjoyed to see so many young people getting involved. Again, we would like to thank the breeders and businesses that support this publication as well as the ones that help to sponsor events and shows throughout the year. You make it all possible and your support and encouragement is greatly appreciated.

WANTLAND
Dairy Farm
by Shannon Kleiboeker
S
isters, Katie, Ellie, and Lila are stand-outs in our state’s dairy industry. These siblings have racked up a number of accomplishments in the show ring, on the FFA stage, and in their stewardship towards other youth. As each of these ladies navigate their future, it is easy to see their love and commitment towards the future of the dairy industry and agriculture as a whole.
Each of these girls credit the dairy they grew up on as giving them the work ethic that it takes to succeed, as well as creating lasting friendships and giving them numerous opportunities for their futures. “Growing up on a dairy has given me a work ethic that I believe is so important in today’s time. I am also very thankful for the amazing people that it has brought into my life,” Ellie describes. Lila continues, “through the dairy industry I have acquired some of my favorite memories and friendships.” These sisters hail from a small dairy located in Niangua, MO headed by parents, Jeff and LeeAnn Wantland. The current operation consists of 35 milking head of mostly registered Holsteins, with a few Jerseys, Guernseys, and Brown Swiss. The cattle graze during the summer months, feast on hay during the winter, and receive supplemental grain throughout the year. The family has been working over the years to improve pedigrees within the herd, and are happy to be seeing results from this work in the show ring and the milk tank. When asked how this now “Century Farm” started, they answered, “by hand” literally. The farm was purchased from a cousin in the 1960s by Jeff’s parents Jack and Margret. They began by hand milking Jerseys and Guernseys, slowly progressing to Holsteins and automated milkers. Jack also ran a milk route and hauled cream cans from local farms to Lebanon, MO. In the 1980’s, Jeff began purchasing heifers and after being tired of working in town, transitioned from his construction job to managing the dairy full time in the 1990s. He currently manages the farm being involved in every aspect from daily milking to field work. LeeAnn spent her high school years working on a dairy farm, and developed an early love of dairy that was nurtured by her grandfather. She now works off the farm as a paralegal at the Law Firm of Parks & Jones in Springfield, MO. LeeAnn and Jeff raised four kids on the farm, Austin, Katie, Ellie, and Lila, each playing active roles on the dairy’s day to day operations. Austin, grew up working on the farm, but has since moved to Tulsa, OK and is the Manager of Maintenance for a group of apartment complexes.

Oldest of the girls, Katie, is currently the Agriculture Education teacher and FFA Advisor of the Madison C-3 Junior High/High School. Also, Katie is currently the Missouri Junior Holstein Junior Co-Advisor. Becoming an agriculture education teacher was an easy choice for her, she explains, “I get to work with kids that have a love for agriculture and I get to expand that love and passion for our industry.” In 2021, the Dairy Cattle Evaluation team she coached received 2nd place at the Missouri State FFA Contest. Katie says, “Growing up on a dairy gave me a sense of hard work and dedication. Every time I introduce myself to someone and say that I grew up on a dairy farm the first thing they always say is ‘you sure know what hard work is!’ For this, I am very thankful! I would not be where I am today without hard work and dedication.” Some of her accomplishments include, top ten and Gold rating at the 2014 National Dairy Handling Competition, 2015 Missouri Holstein Princess, and recognized as 2nd place Dairy Production Entrepreneurship Proficiency in 2015. Later this summer, Katie will marry Peter Haverkamp. Peter has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Dairy Science from Iowa State University and works as a custom fertilizer and chemical applicator for MFA. He has a small herd of Brown Swiss, Ayrshire, and Holsteins. They hope to build a strong show herd of these breeds. Ellie Melander, currently works as a relief milker on the family’s dairy, owns some of the Holsteins that reside at the farm and helps with exhibiting the cattle at shows throughout the year. She works full time at VanZyverden dairy, where she helps with milking, raising bottle calves, feeding heifers, field work or any of the day-to-day tasks. Ellie says her favorite part of growing up on the dairy and still working on one is the diversity between the days. She exclaims, “There’s always something to do on the farm!” Melander, has a list of stand-out accomplishments for her resume. She received the 2017 Missouri FFA State Star in Placement Proficiency, was 2017 National Guernsey Princess, and an All American at the International Dairy Judging Contest in 2017. The hours she spends volunteering also stand out, as she has served as a counselor for many years at the Missouri 4-H Dairy Cow Camp, and helped to host numerous dairy judging contests and workshops, following her participation in these activities.

Her husband, Ricky Melander, also has a dairy background. The two met when they were little and grew up alongside each other at the local county fairs where they exhibited their dairy cattle. He served five years as a United States Marine and now works as a traveling welder. Youngest sister, Lila, recently graced the big stage at the Missouri FFA Convention as she received the 2022 Missouri FFA Dairy Production Entrepreneurship award. She currently plays a large and active role on the family’s dairy. She helps with milking, oversees the care and raising of the young stock and manages the show cattle throughout the year. Her favorite part of the farm is working with the heifers. She enjoys watching them grow, taking them from birth to breeding ages. She says, “even though raising young stock has lows, I still love looking after them and watching them grow.” Lila served as the 2021 Missouri Holstein Princess, she was an Area 10 FFA Star Farmer, and has received her State FFA Degree. As a recent high school graduate, she plans to attend Oklahoma State University and receive a degree in Animal Science before returning to the dairy industry. She credits the dairy for many of her opportunities. She has had, Lila says,“opportunities to meet new people, retain more knowledge and travel new places.” Katie, Ellie, and Lila have spent hours exhibiting their cattle in various show rings across the country, volunteering their time to mentor other youth, and representing Missouri at various dairy events. For each of them, it is apparent that these activities have given them so much more than face value. Katie says, “what I enjoy most about growing up in the dairy industry is the sense of family. I have made so many friends and memories and had so many people that have helped not only me, but my sisters, grow and learn in this industry and for that, I cannot thank everyone enough.”

Gary loved farming, milking and showing registered Holstein cattle, managing his own hay hauling crew, raising beef cattle, fishing and hunting. He enjoyed being a partner in the family Century Farm, and took pride in raising his prize Holstein bull, Joki Astronaut Star, winning many championships and an All-American nomination. He was a fantastic athlete, excelling in basketball in school and softball in later years, and he was passionate about coaching his son’s little league basketball and baseball teams. Gary was professionally ambitious, enjoying stints as a business owner and realtor. The majority of his career was spent at Smitty’s Supermarkets/ Albertson’s as Warehouse Receiving Manager/ Coordinator Assistant Supervisor-Program Trainer and he later worked at Missouri State University as Central Receiving Manager. Gary had a huge heart and valued his family and relationships more than anything else. He was incredibly proud of his grandchildren and always put them first.
Richard Dean Morgan Richard was born April 14, 1946, the son of Daniel Hickman Morgan and Lucy Novella (Hall) Morgan, in a small house just south of Myrtle, Missouri and departed this life to spend eternity with his heavenly family on January 24, 2022 in Salem, Arkansas at the age of 75. First and foremost, Richard was a husband, father, farmer and a friend to many. He loved his family, and he loved his farm with all his heart. He was a family man and a “herdsman”. He was a farmer’s farmer. He was always willing to share his experience and knowledge and give advice when someone asked him a farming question. A wealth of knowledge about farming is an understatement. The legacy he built is a testament to his knowledge. “So God made a farmer …” Richard served as a faithful Couch R-1 school board member for 19 years. Education and knowledge were very important to him. He was a graduate of the University of Missouri -Columbia with a bachelor’s degree in Agricultural education. After graduating, he was offered and accepted a herdsman position, working for the University as a manager of the dairy herd where he remained for 10 years. It was at this time he met the love of his life, Pamela Black. They were married on December 21, 1974, just recently celebrating their 47th wedding anniversary. After marrying they moved back to the family farm in Myrtle, MO and started a family. They owned and operated Rich-Mor Holsteins dairy farm and cattle operation until his passing.

Richard Best - Best-Sunrise Dairy Richard Edwin Best, son of Edwin & Rose Best, was born on April 25, 1942, in Houston, Missouri. He passed away on April 10, 2022, in the home that he built, surrounded by his loved ones in Houston, Missouri. Richard was 79 years old.
Richard was born and raised on his parent’s farm, east of Houston. His father passed away when he was only 18 months old. Richard graduated from Houston High School in 1960. He served as the Vice President of the Houston Future Farmers of America (FFA) and was crowned barn warming King. Richard married Shirley Lea Rosenfelt on May 21, 1966. They were married for 56 years and even in his final days, still referred to Shirley as his “Bride”. In 1979, Richard and Shirley pursued their calling and established the family dairy farm called Best Sunrise Dairy. Over the years, they showed their prized cattle in the local, state and national fairs, while winning numerous awards and ribbons. Richard’s dedication to quality was also displayed in his alfalfa and hay fields with which he maintained over the next several decades with his son, Michael, and his 2 grandsons. Richard was also very proud of his Registered Border Collies that he raised and trained. He looked forward to each new litter of puppies and the excitement and enjoyment his grandchildren had playing with them. Richard was known in the community for being one of the most dedicated, hardworking farmers in the area. This included being a Texas County Farm Bureau founder and board member for over 40 years. He also served on numerous Boards in the community. In 2012, Richard retired from the dairy side of farming, but still enjoyed maintaining his hay fields and farm. Richard’s lifelong hobbies, included hunting and fishing. The thrill of hunting Elk in the Colorado mountains, quail hunting with his friends, hunting on the farm with his son and grandchildren, fishing and time spent at the lake with his daughter, Pennie, were some of his fondest memories through the years. He also loved gigging fish and manning a fryer at the annual quarry fish fry. Richard’s life revolved around his faith, family, and friends. Richard accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior and was a member of Ozark Baptist Church. Richard was a proud husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He was a mentor and friend to many and will be greatly missed by those who knew and loved him.

Sue Ann, 84 of Butler, Missouri passed away Sunday, May 8, 2022 at Silvercrest at Collegeview in Lenexa, Kansas. Sue Ann was born August 19, 1937 in Adrian, Missouri to Richard and Irene Showalter King. She grew up in Adrian and graduated from Adrian High School. On April 27, 1957 she was united in marriage to Ed Steele. To this union two beautiful girls were born. They made their life and home west of Butler, MO, on Steele & King dairy farms where she supported the operations while working a full-time job outside the home. Ed and Sue Ann moved to Lenexa, KS in 2020 to be closer to family. Sue Ann never missed any of her girls’ events growing up and was always happy to welcome their friends in her home.

MISSOURI COW CaMP 4-H Dairy Cow Camp Educates Youth to Become Future Dairy Leaders, Teaches Life Skills
identification, how to give proper injections, embryo development, and proper freezing, storage and handling of product for breeding.
Missouri 4-H Dairy Cow Camp was popular once again in 2022, filling to capacity with youth excited to learn more about the dairy industry.
A highlight of the 2022 camp included a session with Dr. Darren Loula of Christian County Veterinary Service who gave a presentation on embryo transfer; and Kary Crumpley, hoof trimmer, on foot health in dairy cattle.
According to Karla Deaver, 4-H Youth Development Specialist, University of Missouri Extension, forty campers from three states attended. Campers came from extreme northern Missouri all across the state, Arkansas and Ohio,” said Deaver. “The camp draws attention to the importance of farming and its important role in Missouri’s economy. It provides youth a “handson” opportunity to care for dairy animals and learn about many aspects of dairy production while learning life-skills at the same time,” Deaver said. “This year, we again had the added component of working with heifers consigned to the Missouri Holstein Association Tag Sale, which gave us an opportunity to add workshops related to reading pedigrees, different types of auctions, and the various ways cattle are sold.” Campers work in pairs under the direction of adults and take part in workshops to learn about judging dairy animals, dairy management, animal care ethics and showmanship. Older teens serve as group leaders and counselors for the younger 4-H members. Persons working in the dairy industry visited with campers about careers in the dairy industry as well. In addition to educational workshops on showmanship, dairy cattle judging and quiz bowl, campers participated in sessions enabling them to be certified in Show Me Quality Assurance. The activities, designed as a series of learning stations, help 4-H’ers develop both personal and project skills. Stations included an animal health tool
A judging contest and showmanship competition provide the culmination for the camp. In the dairy judging contest, first place junior was Harper VanZyverden of Niangua. Second was Raylee Couch of Verona and third was Emma Coleman of Grant City. In the senior division, first was Robin Drury of Springfield, second was Teagan Hardy of Steelville and third was Sammi Justice of Clever. First junior in placings was Harper VanZyverden and first in the senior division was Roland Neptune. In the showmanship competition, winning the junior division was Diesel Dixon of Conway and second was Nora Penn of Edina. In the intermediate division, first was Whitley Dill of Marshfield and second was Raylee Couch of Verona. In the senior division, first was Sammi Justice of Clever and second was Alexis Koopal of Ohio. A number of other awards were handed out, including a rookie awards to Latham and Nevaeh Bradley of Koshkonong. Most Initiative award was given to Lily Bluel of Monett and Noah Stephens of Arkansas. Most engaged camper award was given to Allie and Gracie Kenney of Miller. Leadership recognition was awarded to Sergio Mendoza of Cape Girardeau and Raylee Couch of Verona. Two pairs were recognized as best team: Cobie Kleiboeker of Wentworth and Brantley Keltner of Clever; and Teagan Hardy of Steelville and Alexi Casperson of Marshifield. Most improved camper was awarded to Zeb Wilson. A new award, given in memory of Dr. John Underwood, longtime supporter of Missouri Dairy Cow Camp, was awarded to Case Melzer of Harrisonville.
MISSOURI TAG SALE 2022 Heifer Tag Sale Success! We made some improvements to help in our advertising and to feature the animals for our consignors.

Sorghum Sudan and Sudangrass Newer Genetic Traits Give Better Options for Missouri Dairies by Tim Schnakenberg, Field Specialist in Agronomy Stone County Extension Center, Galena, MO
On many Missouri dairies, in the summer months, summer annual forages are often used. These forages such as sorghumsudan and sudangrass crosses, forage sorghums, sudangrass and millets are used for haylage, baleage, dry hay production or grazing. Many of these have been used for generations on dairy farms, but for some species and genetic lines, there have been some very significant forage improvements in recent years to consider using. Forage quality and intake are essential elements for growing sorghums in a dairy operation. Even though older forage sorghums have always been known for high tonnage when fertility is good, that doesn’t always translate into more milk production if the quality is not what it should be. Stemminess and lignin have always been something we have had to contend with in these forages if harvest was later than ideal. Harvesting in the vegetative stage or in the early boot stage is considered ideal for dairy cow rations. Many are surprised to learn that cutting height can impact overall tonnage and quality throughout the summer season. In one research trial, comparisons of season-long yield, leaf growth and stem growth were monitored between stubble heights left behind of one inch, six inches and ten inches. Final yield for typical one inch cutting height was 5.4 tons per acre with stems comprising 1.2 tons and leaves making up 4.3 tons. In comparison, a ten-inch cutting height yielded 6.7 tons by the end of the season with stems comprising 0.3 tons and leaves making up 6.4 tons. A lower stem-to-leaf ratio translates into better quality and the higher yield came from faster regrowth from leaving leaf behind to help the plant rebound quicker between cuttings. In a Benton County, Missouri on-farm demonstration, it was found that the regrowth from millet with a 4-5 inch cutting height only had a 6-8 inch crop height in ten days. Ten days after a ten-inch cutting height, the crop height was 24 inches! Even though ten inches is more difficult to do with today’s harvest methods, keeping the residual as high as possible will help maintain quality and potentially provide more yield. In addition to harvest timing and cutting height, dairies now have access to some newer genetic material that helps to insure better pest management, intake, digestibility and cow performance. Many have been using the same varieties for years and are unaware of all the newer improvements that have come to the market.
A trait that has been available for many years is Brown Mid-Rib (BMR). It is a natural genetic mutation found in some grass crops and has been genetically incorporated into some sorghum-sudan, sudangrass and Pearl millet lines. A Texas study found 5-8 percent increase in beef animal gains by its use. This trait has been found to have less lignin and higher digestibility for all classes of livestock. A newer trait has been the use of brachytic dwarf varieties. This trait reduces the height of the stems without any change in leaf count, leaf size or maturity. Even though it may not get as tall as comparable hybrids, it will tiller profusely and tonnage is generally not compromised. Some varieties / hybrids can lead to more tonnage later in the season, having the photosensitive period trait. These lines tend to stay vegetative longer in the season and are less likely to head out when stress and cooler weather occurs. Even though this trait is designed to slow the decline of forage quality, the nutritional improvement is often not as good as BMR varieties. In some studies, yields were high but dry-down was found to be slower than conventional lines, even after frost. This may be a better forage type for pregnant heifers versus lactating cows. Since about 2015 in Missouri, some areas have had issues with a new pest called the sugar cane aphid, that has moved in from the south. This is a mid-season pest that will sometimes severely stunt second growth of forage sorghums and reduce both quality and yield for the season. There is little consistency on when and where this pest will arise. This has been non-issue for those growing millets, however if the pest attacks grain sorghum or forage sorghums, it can be devastating. There are only a couple lesser-known insecticides that will work on the pest. Most of the commonly-used pyrethroid insecticides are ineffective. The industry is starting to get a handle on this problem by offering lines of sorghum hybrids that are tolerant to the pest. Additional ways to deal with it include early planting and controlling Johnsongrass in the area. Do your homework on newer lines of forage sorghum and sorghumsudangrass crosses. Determine if you are needing a single cut system or a multi-harvest system. Check out the newer traits that are now on the market. Adjust your harvest management to ensure better quality. You may be surprised to find one that fits your needs and it may be a better and cheaper option than growing corn silage.

An Orderly Life?
by John Schoen The energy and attitude of an operation is often visible to guests and visitors on a daily basis. To a visitor, the appearance of the facility as they drive down the driveway can tell them so much about the operation. The farm or business always has days that make it look like a cross between a work in progress or a scrap yard. We all have those days! Plastic from wrap bales or silo covers are a problem always, but it is something that should be dealt with. Rainy weather can give us a chance to clean up in the shop or the desk in the office. Take days like this as an opportunity to give your farm or life the order it deserves. Cleaning up in the shop will always generate junk to be hauled off. Haul the newly accumulated junk off with the junk outside the day after the rain.
Family and farm, this order of everyday life is much more satisfying. Families that have steady or mostly normal everyday schedule in life are going to have a more peaceful day when it comes to taking on daily challenges. These challenges are just a part of life! Life itself seems to have a way of not letting you operate anything for long without new obstacles catching up to you. Whether they occur on a dairy farm, with family life, church involvement, or business of any kind, there is always something that will play a factor in the best laid plans. This could include the weather, government regulations or even a family crisis to name a few.
Another problem I see is we all have to deal with lawn mowing and weed eating. It has got to be done. Don’t ignore it. The grass and weeds harbor a place for flies, rodents, and snakes. I have seen some modern farms with weeds 6 foot tall, which can create problems with flies and heat stress.
Life can throw a lot of curveballs, but if you just have some organization in place, major or minor problems may be solved easily. As a dairyman, problems can come in the way of a cow you just can’t straighten out or a piece of equipment that is just not fixable. Look at the way you deal with negative people. You can’t fix their problem, but you can take the time listen to them. Hopefully, you give them the vent they need to get over it. A lot of times if you go deep enough, they just need order in their life, family or job. One or more is demanding too much.
Have you ever considered the impression you are giving your financial professional when they visit your operation? When they see an orderly place, they see a person who is going to accept the responsibility of their future, making the highest effort to succeed, which in turn is a solid investment for the lender.
The employee that makes the feed rounds can really burn out if the gates are never fixed. Loading animals is a real tough workout with no help. This will wear you down and may be dangerous if you don’t make some improvements. The old fencing and wrecked gates could be loaded up and junked. Putting this small project off could be depressing to that person because most of the time they don’t like it either and just wish for time or help to clean it up and haul it off. The order in the day keeps reminding us that we need it in our life in many ways.
Hire a neighbor or high schooler to help get things in order, especially if you can’t get around doing everything yourself. It will always payoff getting things in ORDER! It may not happen overnight but it will come together. And then, the future of your farm or business future will as they say maybe have a little “Peaceful Easy Feeling.”
