VOLUME 33 EDITORIAL
Champion in Many Ways Do you remember her? The exciting World Production Champion of November 1997? Yes, this happened 25 years ago, but Muranda Oscar Lucinda was heralded around the world when her 365-day lactation of 67,914lb/30,870kg arrived as a brand new world record for milk production. Lucinda was bred by Tom and Nancy Murray in Waterloo, NY and owned by Fred Lang and Floyd & Lloyd Baumann in Wisconsin. Lucinda VG-86 was well bred, being sired by the milk sire Art-Acres NB Oscar (<Ned Boy) out of a Cleitus daughter of Walkup Bell Lou Etta. Did you know that Lucinda earned both the Gold Medal Dam and Dam of Merit titles? But: it turns out that her impact lasted much longer than that…. Fast-forward 25 years and we arrive at the Top-200 TPI Genomic Bulls Ranking of Holstein USA, December 2021. At #29 we find a bull named T-Spruce S-S-I Beethoven at 3016 gTPI: Son of Leaninghouse Taos out of a young Legacy granddaughter to Jauquet Yoder Porsche VG-86 (Dam of Merit). This Yoder daughter is granddaughter to Glo-Crest O-Man Pirate EX-90 (DOM GMD), who is a greatgranddaughter to Lucinda! Yes, 8 generations after World Champion Lucinda comes a young sire called Beethoven (owned by Select Sires) that conquers his place in the top-30 of the highest gTPI bulls in the US. Lucinda was a true Champion in many ways!

Magic in the Capsule
“Many years ago, we were struggling with high, always 250-400 SCC and breed back issues. We saw an ad on Immu-Pro and basically said ‘what have we got to lose?’ Within two months, we were impressed with Immu-Pro as mastitis got very rare and low ticked down around 150 SCC consistently plus cows came in with stronger heats and bred back well! Needless to say our plans changed on selling out.
Capsules - Immediate Need Available in 32 count & 96 count jars
Powder - Daily Use
Available in 2lb, 12lb, and 25lb containers
Profitable? Yes! We get about $0.80 - $1 extra profit/cow/day over cost of feeding the Immu-Pro. This makes us many thousands of extra dollars of income every year and Immu-Pro makes dairying more fun and profitable. It pays.” Patrick Sullivan, Wisconsin & Improve milk SCC 80-125 on ti uc od Registered Jerseys repr today. with Immu-Pro

LINDENRIGHT ZEPHIR-P: BLACK SILVER Mirand-PP-Chief-Rubicon Zephir-P brings a balanced profile making him ideal for robot dairy operations. He is 2.48 PTAT and +10 in Canada and has outstanding linear being plus rated for all type traits. Daughters should have great locomotion and lots of width to the rump. Zephir also has the added extras of being polled and A2A2. Sired by Mirand-PP, he is out of a VG Chief with the 2nd dam being a maximum scored VG-89 3-year-old Rubicon from the famous Lindenright Bradnick Moovin On, a 27* brood cow and dam of the Avalanche son Lindenright Moovin-RC (3.65 PTAT, +16 in Canada). Moovin On was a Global Cow finalist (in Holstein International) 2021. This is the same family as former Madison Champion Goldwyn Missy. ‘Zephir has a modern sire stack and a well-balanced, no-holes proof,’ comments Jimmy Perreault. ‘I would probably watch for body depth on this bull.’
At 3054 gTPI, Holysmokes sits at Nr.8 on Holstein USA’s Top-200 genomic bull list and his score of 1.98 UDC makes him the highest bull for udders in the top-25. To add to it, Holysmokes has the great Halo family behind both his sire and dam. Sired by Highjump, a Positive son from Habitan (Delta-Day x Halo), Holysmokes is from a Renegade that traces through a VG Slamdunk-EX Rubicon-VG Jacey to Halo. His proof shows 1292 milk +.17% fat +.08% protein combined with positive health traits. ‘Holysmokes is very popular not only for his pedigree but also his very well balanced genomic profile,’ comments Mike West. ‘His progeny will have adequate strength, be good producers, and very complete cows.’ Holysmokes has a no-holes type proof with every bar on his type chart to the right of center.
A rare combination of type, udders, production, moderate size, A2A2 and positive teat length make Parker an elite bull. Parker has a gTPI of 2989 which includes 1287 milk, +.12% fat +.06% protein 2.59 PTAT, 2.36 UDC and 1.66 FLC. Bred by Fustead and Synergy, Parker is sired by the popular Renegade son Parfect. The dam is a daughter of the Frazzled son Brass and traces back through Delta-Tango to Synergy Planet Piper, the same family that produced Progenesis Positive. Areas to protect Parker in a mating would be daughter fertility (-0.5 DPR), sire calving-ease (2.4) and high pins. ‘Parker is available through CRV’s CREATE program for both sorted and conventional semen,’ comments Jacob Richardson. ‘He is available for anyone who signs up for our CREATE program.’

Currently I Am Red-PP ranks as the Nr.1 gTPI Red and PP bull in the world. ‘He is a very special bull and one of the most complete homozygous polled bulls in the breed with balanced type and solid health traits,’ comments Jennifer Dingbaum. ‘His linear shows that he will sire moderate sized cattle that will be strong with open rib. Udders will have great attachments and wider teat placement combined with positive milking speed making him a great choice for robot milking.’ I Am Red is A2A2 and BB. Protect for udder cleft. His proof shows 2612 gTPI with 1311 milk -.07% fat +.01% protein with 1.23 PTAT and 1.20 UDC. The Solitair son is out of a Powerful-PP daughter and then a Delta sister to Helix with the 4th dam being HI’s Global Cow winner Halo.
OUR-FAVORITE C JUNGA: SELECT SIRES Captivate-Doc-Doorsopen Junga provides positive components and exceptional type at +3.15 PTAT with +2.69 UDC. Daughters should be tall with outstanding udders, including 4.41 rear-udder width, while he should add set to the rear leg. He has an impressive linear profile but should be protected for high pin setting and short teats. He is BB for Kappa Casein. ‘Junga is unique as his sire Our-Favorite Captivating (Delight-Hangtime x Unlimited) failed to make marketable semen, but the Stanek’s had recently acquired Cedarwal Jitters so we sent them a few straws to make a son,’ explains Kevin Jorgensen. ‘Jitters (Doc-Doorsopen-Jacey x Shauna) had resulted from a planned mating that failed to make a bull. She went to the Peak program where she produced Peak Jagger and several other bulls.’ The Doorsopen is a maternal sister to the show cow Midas-Touch Jedi Jangle EX-92.

“There’s nothing better. It works!” — Traci Balthaser
NORTHKILL CREEK FARM, BERNVILLE, PA Balthaser and Weaver Families 120 cows, 23,792M 3.9F, 120,000 SCC (Right) Wilson Balthaser, Tammy and Hayden Weaver, Hannah, Traci and Randy Balthaser and ‘Groovy’
“We love Udder Comfort™ and use a lot of it before and after showing and when our cows and 2-year-olds freshen. It works!” says Traci Balthaser. She and Randy milk 120 cows at Northkill Creek Farm, Bernville, Pa. They have been using it over 10 years. “We got samples when it first came out, and have used it ever since. There’s nothing better.” “Udder Comfort works really well to keep udders healthy and eliminate swelling,” adds Randy’s sister Tammy Weaver.

Jeffrey-Way: Big Time Production
from their Super Impressive “T” Family
The “T” family at Jeffrey-Way in Wisconsin has ranked among the best in the breed over the past 30 years. Here is a look at a great herd of cows that combine it all – high scores, big
J
records and high lifetime production. And it is all just a 20 minute drive from Madison. Text: Doug Savage Photos: Han Hopman
Jeffrey-Way Taradora is seen here as a VG-88 2-year-old. She is a Doorman from a 92 Atlantic and then a 94 Talent with 300,000lb/136,000kg: Behind that was a 92 Leduc and then Formation Tate.
J
eff and Kate Hendrickson along with their youngest son Brooks and his wife Riley are keen cattle breeders and achieve a rolling herd average of 30,000lb on 2x milking. There are herds with higher averages than Jeffrey-Way but most of those are on 3x milking. The dazzling quality of the herd must play a large part, a herd with 61 scored EX and 55 VG with none lower! Of course management must play a significant role too. Most herds at this production level use TMR feeding but at Jeffrey-Way it’s component feeding. ‘We still use feed carts and feed out 3x a day; component feeding with top-dressing so we can supply individual cow attention,’ explains Brooks. ‘It may be somewhat old fashioned here but being able to feed to suit the needs of individual cows really helps to get the best out of them and we can keep them all in the right condition.’ It may be more labor intensive than the modern approach of feeding out TMR once a day with a robot to push the feed up, but the results here speak for themselves. Besides, who wouldn’t want to spend a little extra time working in a herd where over half the cows are scored EX?
Jeffrey-Way in Wisconsin
FOUNDATION Jeffrey-Way is located at Belleville, Wisconsin, just a 20-minute drive south of Madison. During normal times – in the pre-Covid years – Jeffrey-Way was a popular destination for international visitors to the World Dairy Expo, keen Holstein enthusiast’s eager to see a super herd that is dominated by a sensational cow family, the “T” family. Today almost 90% of the herd can be traced back to the foundation cow Inwood Taffy Apollo, a Wayne daughter classified EX-93. ‘I worked for a time as herdsman at Inwood Holsteins after I left school, and at the dispersal of that herd we bought the Wayne daughter,’ explains Jeff. ‘We rented a farm for 5 years and then in 1991 we purchased this farm.’ The cow that really brought the family to world attention and put Jeffrey-Way on the international Holstein map was Jeffrey-Way Tina EX-91, arguably Mascot’s best-known daughter. She was out of a 91-point Chief Mark that traced through an 88 Bell and a 90-point Tony to the Wayne. ‘We only ever had 2-3 Mascots but because of the way Tina transmitted she’s now in the back pedigree of just about everything on the farm,’ explains Jeff. ‘She was a powerful cow with enough strength of frame to allow us to use bulls like Luke over her with success. In total Tina ended up with 20 sons in AI around the world. Tina was the cow that really got things rolling as far as getting bulls into AI and selling embryos.’ Tina’s daughter Jeffrey-Way Luke Tripoli EX-93 followed in her mother’s footsteps being a popular bull-dam. Tripoli was also the dam of the Formation daughter Jeffrey-Way Tate EX-93, another popular bull mother. Successful bulls from the family included Jeffrey-Way Tryout, a Durham from a Hunter sister to Tina; Toplevel was a BW Marshall out of Tate; and Tartini was a Titanic from a Convincer
• Located at Belleville, Wisconsin • Owned by Jeff & Kate Hendrickson • 300 acres/120ha: corn for silage and high-moisture corn, alfalfa and grass mix hay, and oats as a cover crop • 110 cows with 250 head in total • Production: 2x 30,000lb/13,600kg 3.7% fat 3.3% protein • Type BAA: 112.6 with 61 EX and 55 VG • Ration: Corn silage, haylage, baleage, high-moisture shell corn, commercial protein pellets and cotton-seed • Current Sires: Doc, Luster-P, Addison, Tatoo, Showtime, Cadillac & Delta-Lambda
Kate & Jeff Hendrickson
daughter of Tate. Internationally, the Italian bull Go-Farm Artes, a Goldwyn out of a BW Marshall daughter of Tate, resulted from embryos exported by Jeffrey-Way.
PATIENCE The arrival of genomics and the more extensive use of sexed semen have really changed the dynamics of the industry over the past decade. Demand for milk cows or embryos has dropped away, and of course getting bulls into AI is now limited to a few highly-specialized breeding programs. In spite of this, the breeding goals at Jeffrey-Way have not really changed that much over the years. Solid type cows, well-balanced animals with no significant weaknesses with good longevity have always been the kind you will find in this barn. ‘We look for bulls with good solid type, good udders and legs, and high components, the total package kind that don’t have holes in their proof,’ comments Jeff. ‘And when it comes to genomic bulls, we only use ones that come from good cow families to support that proof.’ Brooks adds ‘The last few years we’ve slowed a little in the use of young genomic bulls and use a few more proven bulls. When you are trying
to breed high-scoring cows that are going to last a long time and stay in the herd then there is no point in being in too much of a hurry. If you are a little more patient and wait for those very complete proven bulls to be identified then you have a better idea of what you are going to get.’
POLLED The ET program at Jeffrey-Way is almost exclusively IVF work rather than conventional flushes. Usually around 7-8 flushes are made each year with the donors being mostly well established proven cows. ‘Given that our goals are to produce high-scoring, long-lasting cows then waiting till a cow has proven herself as a top transmitter is perhaps the best use of the limited number of flushes we do each year. And we like to use IVF so that we can use sexed semen from what-ever bull we want to use,’ comments Jeff. One of the donors is Jeffrey-Way Saphire EX-94, a Lawn Boy daughter with 338,400lb/153,500kg lifetime and three records over 50,000lb/22,727kg! She traces back through an 89 Champion and a 92 Convincer to Formation Tate. Saphire has 4 EX daughters and is also the dam of the Earn-
hardt son Jeffrey-Way Sellabull-PP at ABS who has over 1,000 daughters in his proof. Polled breeding now gets a little more attention and the Hendrickson’s are quite pleased with the young heifers they have by Luster-P.
JUNIOR CHAMPION Another cow that exemplifies this impressive herd is Jeffrey-Way Tanawood EX-95, an Atwood that traces through a 92 Pine-Shelter Laramee, a 94 Titanic and a 92 Convincer to Formation Tate. Tanawood already has figures of 266,510lb/120,810kg and her 94-point McCutchen daughter is also in the herd. Although the show-ring is not a major part of the Jeffrey-Way program, their successes are still something the Hendrickson’s can be proud of. ‘Our grand-daughter Emma showed Jeffrey-Way Doorman Tavor as Junior Champion of the Junior Show in Madison last fall, and also third in the open show,’ comments Jeff, ‘and she was also Honorable Mention All-American.’ Tavor traces back a number of generations to Formation Tate. If you are looking to visit a great breeder’s herd with lots of impressive framed high producing cows then Jeffrey-Way at Belleville, Wisconsin, is the place to go. l

“There is no other dairy breed that can consistently compete with the modern Holstein cow. We truly believe that the Holstein cow is the most economical and efficient breed of cattle that there is.” Nathan Kuehnert Kuehnert Dairy, Fort Wayne, IN
“We believe that working with the Holstein Association is ultimately an investment in our future. We know that for us to achieve the goals we have for our cow herds, we have to invest in the genetics and the genetic future of our cow herd. We wouldn’t be where we are today in terms of milk production or genetic profile without the help of the Holstein Association.” Ken McCarty McCarty Family Farms, Rexford, KS MVP Dairy, Celina, OH “The Holstein cow is really a cash flow machine from the value of her calf to the value of the milk she produces in that subsequent lactation. Nothing in livestock agriculture can beat a Holstein cow when it comes to generating revenue that comes right back here on the farm.” Mark Crave Crave Brothers Farm LLC, Waterloo, WI
