CONGRATS TO THE RAPTORS...
We are happy for our friends across Canada to finally have a championship team. They say the violence during the fan celebrations is simply frustration from the fact that their NHL teams have been barely competivive in the Stanley Cup playoffs for the past 25 years! We are glad that the NBA & NHL games are finally done!!

SIRE BREEDER COMMITTEES
60 years ago, AI coops sourced and bought their sires using breeder-member sire committees that went out to view sires, cow families and dtrs. Ivanhoe, Inka DeKol, Arlinda Chief, Apollo, Marquis are but a few of these that made a big impact on the breed. Today‘s sires are chosen by someone staring at a screen.
Catapult has a tremendous Spring Calf by Tatoo and will be flushed this summer. She is following the family tradition.

WETUMPKA FARM
Home of High Octane Milk Producers
Cassie, Ike, Devin, Dick, Dylan Growing up a Mayer at Mayer Farms there were four constants with the coming of each year: 1. When the snow melted away and the ground cleared – the ball, bats and gloves came out. We’d play ball whether it was over on the lawn with the stone for home plate or it was a full-blown affair out in the middle of the yard with the whole county dairy project. Occasionally a window or a yard light got sacrificed, but it was baseball. 2. We picked a lot of stones. 3. We baled a lot of hay over the summer. 4. We worked with our project animals for the fair. For us, going to the shows in the summer was our family bonding time. You could say it was in our DNA. Dad – along with his brothers Bob, Fritz and Grandpa Mayer grew up taking out some of the best Holsteins in the breed. They were known and respected around the world for breeding great cows and being able to ‘find’ them and develop them, give them good care and prepare them for shows. It defined them. But for Dad, while the competition and challenge was certainly exhilarating, it was the people he loved the most. To put it mildly, he was a “people person.” He loved people and people loved him because he was honest, sincere and a true friend. He left a trail of friends around the globe: from Japan, across Europe, Canada, the states and Mexico – he loved all of them to the end. When Dad and his brother, Uncle Fritz, took over after Grandpa Mayer’s dispersal, we lived at the farm to the north, while they milked cows at the ‘main barn’ where we are today. So, while growing up – all the while through school, the summers, with the exception of when I was gone to college and worked away for a bit – I returned home and had the opportunity – more accurately – the privilege to work and learn at the side of the best person I have ever known. Dad had a wealth of knowledge about cows and dairying but it was what he taught and shared about life that had the biggest impact. Being a good Christian, a good husband and father and a good friend. Dad always said we all go before the Lord God Almighty on judgment day with absolutely nothing with the exception of what is in our hearts. Dad’s big, loving heart beat its last at 2:30 Thursday morning, May 30, 2019. I am sure at this very moment he is strolling through the green pastures in Heaven smiling and whistling some silly tune as he so often did here in these very pastures behind our church, watching over us and waiting for Mom. He’s in a great place but I will always miss him.

“ Why do we li ke Im m u - P r o ?
Summer is very hot down here which greatly stresses cows. Immu-Pro has helped keep up good feed intake. Milk production is up about 8 lbs/cow/day while SCC dropped over 50%. We have also seen our heats and conception improve. We were the most improved DHIA herd in Mercer Co, TN. Immu-Pro greatly helps dairy herds be more profitable and we highly recommend it.” SCC 120-150 Roger Toombs, Toombs Bros Dairy, Columbia City, TN Milk production profits Preg Rate SCC

“Udder Comfort™ gets results, exceeding our expectations since we started using it over a decade ago. It’s the key for getting udders soft and pliable,” says Andrew Vander Meulen of Avonlea Genetics, Inc., a 4th generation Jersey herd managed by Andrew and Jennifer Vander Meulen and their children Will and Taylor as well as Jim and Liz Livock in Brighton, Ontario, Canada. The herd was established in 1934 by Bill and Jack Featherstone (Jennifer’s grandfather and Great Uncle), breeding for a balance of type and production. Deep cow families, transmitting quality, are Avonlea hallmarks. Udder Comfort fits this quality mindset.

The 11th Northeast Youth Show Calf Summit was held at the Rutland Fairgrounds on Friday and Saturday, April 26 & 27th from noon to noon. It was another successful event sponsored by the Vermont Holsten Assn. It gave over 80 youth from five of the six New England states and eastern New York State an opportunity to learn about calf evaluation, showmanship, calf raising, nutrition, what to pack in their show boxes, how to talk to the public and halter making. Experienced presenters served as the instructors to assist the youth in looking forward to a successful show season. Interestingly, almost half of the participants had either no or only one year of experience showing. They came eager to learn. Because of generous sponsors, many went home with a door prize of some show equipment. All had the opportunity to learn how to make a rope halter during free time on Friday evening, and they also had the opportunity to test their knowledge in a session of Dairy Jeopardy. We wish to thank all of the presenters who shared their knowledge, a local farm who brought fifteen calves for the youth to work with, the Otter Creek 4-H Club that provided lunch on Saturday, and all the others who helped out. Also a big thank you to the sponsors who made this event possible: Farm Credit East, AgEnhancement, Yankee Farm Credit, Poulin Grain, Select Sire Power, New England Holstein Assn, Phoenix Feeds, Bourdeau Brothers, Nutrena Feed, FCI, Cargill, Alltech, Conn Vet, Nutreco Shur-Gain, Co-op Insurance, Townline Equipment, Hi-Pro, Phibro, Newtech, VEDA, GENEX, Digligle Farm and Cattle Connection.
