C.E. Foreword

Winter 2013

open days. The National Herds Competition took place on Monday the 3rd June. Ken Proctor from the ‘Airfield Herd’ UK, judged the event. I wish to thank Ken for taking the time away from his farm to judge this prestigious event and all members who participated. The show season was a resounding success with no shows cancelled,which was in stark contrast to 2012. The Baileys in conjunction with Virginia show was again a major spectacle with International press that provides great opportunity and excellent promotion for the breed.

Dairy farmers had a very good year in 2013 despite the challenges of a late Spring, harsh weather conditions culminating in unprecedented fodder shortages. Summer came good and with the continuing fine weather members were able to get their work done with satisfaction. There was excellent grass growing conditions which lead to bumper crops of quality silage, replenishing many empty pits. These conditions coupled with rising milk prices ensured outputs are ahead of target in most co-op areas. Members will need to continuously assess their quota to avoid a super-levy situation occurring next Spring. The long term outlook for growth and milk prices in the sector is positive although a correction form current prices may occur in 2014. The positivity in dairy farming reflected in greater demand for IHFA services. Volume of herd book registrations and animal classifications although weak in early Spring, have caught up and will be on a par with 2012 performance. The IHFA board adopted the new SNP technology for parentage validation for all males as a matter of course on the 19th February. The outcome from this change allows for the selection of high EBI bulls that otherwise would be missed for breeding purposes. This change strengthens the link of pedigree registered Holstein Friesian to sire selection. The system has been automated in co-operation with ICBF for greater traceability on the database. The compulsory phase of the BVD National Eradication programme commenced on the 1st January with an agreed a price for members of €3.40 per sample tested with the Irish Equine Centre -IEC. The samples will be stored and may be used for further testing e.g. DNA Parentage, Genomics (at Weatherby’s - related Lab), if so requested. This makes sampling and testing a seamless process and more convenient for our members. With regards to Bull Proofs, there are proposed changes to the base in August 2014 which will result in the basis for the standard moving upwards. Members ought to bear this in mind when making sire selection for breeding the next generation this Winter and Spring 2014. There will be no change in the Irish base for Type due to its recent establishment. However, it is important to note that Irish type proofs are no longer directly comparable with the UK. IHFA are strongly committed to the promotion and profile of our breed. For those members wishing to trade internationally both male and female offspring can receive the equivalent TPI index from Holstein USA, at the request of the Association. The Association has consistently sought to raise the profile of the Holstein breed at local, regional and national levels. A busy schedule of events was planned for 2013 and with the help of members these events provided a strong endorsement for the breed. The 3rd annual “Emerald Expo” took place on Saturday 27th April in Cillin Hill Mart, Kilkenny. This is a major showcase for the breed and continues to grow as one of the key events for the Association. I wish to congratulate the Frawley family,Croagh, Co Limerick on their continuing success and winning the supreme championship two years in a row. On July 5th the Irish Pure Friesian Open Day was held on the O’ Connor family farm, Ballingarry, Co Limerick. On this perfect summers day, the large attendance was treated to a walk through the impressive “Ballykennedy” pedigree Pure Friesian herd, stock judging competition, presentations from Teagasc and ICBF, diverse trade stand display’s and generous refreshments.

This was followed by Tullamore show with over sixty thousand spectators. IHFA sponsored an in-calf heifer for the Heifer and Hogget competition which was widely publicised in the Farmers Journal. The National Dairy show in Millstreet was bigger and better with a very large attendance. Cattle exhibitors and trade stand entries were well up on previous years and the atmosphere and mood on the day was uplifting. Trade stand holders reported brisk business, no doubt helped by the buoyancy in current milk prices. The National Ploughing Championships is one of the most successful events in promoting the genetic diversity in the Holstein Friesian to commercial dairy farmers. This year we continued with an expanded pavilion sharing space with some of our main sponsors. A display of Holstein and Pure Friesian cows were featured among the seven cows on the stand. A calf was offered as a prize in an open competition. This afforded the staff a great opportunity to interact with the public and promote IHFA services and discuss general farming issues of the day. Staff reported strong demand for IHFA services from commercial dairy farmers wishing to expand their enterprise post quota’s. I am very grateful to all the breeders who supplied their stock for the week YMA had a very successful year in 2013. The National calf show took place on July 30th /31st and was very well supported. A BBQ was held at the Cilin Hill venue, which provided a social opportunity for young members to meet and discuss dairy farming and help to make it a family orientated event. The handling classes were hotly contested and we will no doubt need to extend the size of the ring for the next show. The showmanship league is a great success with more and more shows wishing to facilitate classes. YMA also introduced a Field to Foto competition this autumn with the finals held at the National Dairy Show. I wish to thank the organising committee of the show for hosting the Field to Foto competition and the finals of the YMA Showmanship league. A Club of the Year competition was also launched, which was announced at the All Ireland Awards night. I wish to thank all the officers for their work and effort in ensuring that YMA continues as a strong force in IHFA. I also wish to thank the parents who take the time to ensure that their youngsters get to compete in the various YMA activities. I wish to congratulate the winners but more importantly to thank all those who participate, as this is the great strength of YMA. Sponsorship is a key ingredient to the successful running of these events and to that end I wish to record my thanks to all sponsors throughout the year.

The National IHFA Open Day in association with the “Kilgarriffe” Pedigree registered Holstein Friesian herd of Richard, Marion and Mervyn Helen and family at Clonakilty, Co Cork took place in glorious sunshine on Tuesday July 16th. A record attendance, estimated at over 3,500, of local commercial dairy farmers and pedigree breeders spread across the country including Northern Ireland and the UK made the worthwhile trip. The events on the day were a major showcase for the Holstein Friesian breed encompassing a discussion forum on the future of dairy farming post the era of quota’s. As ever, it was a great family day out to meet up with friends and enjoy the generous hospitality. I wish to thank the O’ Connor family and the Helen family for hosting the

I wish to thank our office and field staff for their work and dedication in promoting the Holstein Friesian breed and IHFA services, also YMA, Holstein Friesian clubs and the Irish Pure Friesian Club. I also wish to thank our Chairman, Richard Whelan, President, John O Flynn, IHFA board and committees for their time, co-operation and support. Wishing you the members a peaceful Christmas and a successful year farming for 2014! Yours Sincerely,

Chief Executive

BVD eradication

SNP Technology/Genomics for parentage verification

Compulsory Phase 2014

IHFA have agreed a discounted price for members with the Irish equine Centre (IeC) for BVD Tissue Tag Testing. The cost to you will be €3.40 per sample. Addressed envelopes will be supplied by IHFA office.

The Board of IHFA agreed a motion on 19th February 2013 to adopt the new SNP Technology/Genomics for parentage verfication.

Payment will be collected through your IHFA account, do not forward payment to the Irish equine Centre.

This change is of immense importance and will be of huge benefit to all dairy farmers. Stock bulls as well as having parentage validated will also have Genomic breeding values.

• The samples will be stored at the Irish equine Centre • Allowing for a seamless transfer of samples to Weatherbys lab for further testing i.e. Parentage verification (Male registration) & Genomics

This will ensure greater opportunities for you as a breeder as it will enhance quality assurance on the bull in terms of increased reliability over the parent average data. The increased reliability percentage is equivalent to having data recorded on 12 to 15 progeny of the bull.

• All commercial animals can be included in this discounted price

Guidelines for sending samples: 1. Order the official tissue tags (Mullinahone Co-op). 052 9153900 2. Test all calves born into the herd including stillborn calves

How does the new system work? All named male animals will be genomically tested on the Low density chip (19K) for registration.

3. Tag the animal within 7 days of birth. ensure animal is registered with the department at time of tagging to ensure no delay in receipt of test results. Seal the sample metal tube into its sample storage container - the Ie numbers should match. (Leave the lid open for laboratory purposes- do not cut it off). DO NOT PIeRCe the silver film on the sample metal tube.

We have AUTOMATeD THe SYSTeM in co-operation with ICBF for greater traceability on the database. We will use the BVD tissue samples as far as is practical.

4. Keep the sample tubes in a refrigerator or in a cool dry place. Post the samples no later than 4-5 days of taking the sample. Minimum Postage charge €1.05 5. Place the samples in a plastic bag and seal the bag. CLeARLY NOTe ON THe BAG THe FOLLOWING INFORMATION 1. IHFA member 2. Ie Number 3. Telephone Number 4. Quantity of samples enclosed 5. Home Address

Having your samples at the Irish equine Centre (IeC) allows for a seamless process as this sample will be used instead of the hair sample for carrying out the Genomic test. If your preference is an alternate lab for BVD tissue testing then you will be issued with a hair kit in the usual way.

This information must appear on each batch of samples you send for testing.

It is important to note that ALL NAMeD MALe ANIMALS will automatically be picked up for Parentage/Genomics testing if your BVD sample is with the Irish equine Centre.

6. ReCeIVING ReSULTS: The testing laboratories report results electronically to the ICBF (Irish Cattle Breeding Federation) database. ICBF issue results to the herd owner by SMS text message. In the absence of a mobile number, a paper report will be issued. You can also log onto the database to your herd results at www.icbf.com The anticipated results are NeGATIVe, POSITIVe, eMPTY (no tissue in the sample) and INCONCLUSIVe. examples of letters and other information are on the Animal Health Ireland website (www.animalhealthireland.ie). These letters will also contain submission forms for the follow up samples. It is important to read all notification letters thoroughly for advice on the next step to follow. Please refer to the A.H.I. website www.animalhealthireland.ie for further information

Adoption of SNP Technology; Allow 6 - 8 weeks to get genomic results back. It is important to name your calf as soon as possible after birth so you can comply with DAFM Rule of 42 days.

sRM Male Cert

SUPPLeMeNTARY SeCTION FOR MALeS ‘SRM’

The Herd Book in accordance with Department Agriculture, Food & Marine ‘DAFM’ ruling has now set up a Supplementary Section for Males which do not qualify for the Main Section of the Herd Book. These bulls will be graded SRM ‘Supplementary Register Male’.

Under the S.I. 263, Protection of Animals kept for farming purposes Act 1984, (Prohibition of Tail Docking) 2003 it is stated that; 1) A person shall not remove or mutilate or cause or permit another person to remove or mutilate the tail or part of the tail of a bovine animal. 2) A person shall not have in his or her possession or under his or her control sell or supply a bovine animal if the tail or part of the tail of the animal has been removed or multilated in contravention of paragraph 1). An exception is allowed to deal with single cases of tail injuries etc. “after administration of an anaesthetic, by a registered veterinary surgeon where, in his or her opinion, it is necessary for the proper treatment of diseease or injury in a single animal”. POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES 1. This requirement may be inspected under cross compliance. 2.

Cattle for export may not be accepted if tails are docked.

To qualify for entry in the Male Supplementary Section of the herd book male animals must meet the following criteria. 1 Be identified in accordance with the rules of the Association. 2 Conform to breed standards and be descended from either a Holstein, Friesian or Holstein/Friesian sire, and have three generation recorded ancestry. 3 DNA verification required. NOTe: All female progeny for registration of SRM sires will be graded ‘ASR’

NeW DATe: National Calf Show Finals will take place on 30th & 31st July in the

YMA AGM YMA AGM will take place on Friday January 17th in the Maldron Hotel, Portlaoise, Co. Laois at 8.00pm

Application of the Rules: • SRM sire x Pedigree dam = ‘SRM’ Male or ‘ASR’ Female. • SRM sire x ASR or BSR dam = ‘ASR’ Female. • No grading up through the male line allowed.

Bull Proofs - Proposed Base Change Autumn 2014 There are proposed changes to the base in August 2014 which will result in the standard moving upwards. It is well to bear this in mind when making sire selection for breeding the next generation this Autumn and Spring 2014. The new proposed base for production and fertility is 2005 born cows ,calved and milk recorded in 2007 with at least 2 year out of 5 milk recorded. The standard will move up by 114kgs milk, 5.5 Kgs Fat, 6Kgs Protein. This will equate to a first lactation of 5540 Kgs Milk, 216 Kgs Fat, 188Kgs Protein @ 3.9Fat% and 3.39Pr%. It is estimated that the overall EBI will reduce by 76 points, made up of 32 Production and 44 Fertility. There will be no change in the Irish base for Type. Please be aware that Irish type proofs are no longer directly comparable with the UK. 8

CMMS / PARITIeS It is important that you have your CMMS up to date for accuracy of Classification parities. Please note that the classifier in some instances may need to change parity on the hand held to classify your animal. However this change is not a permanent record. The DAFM system will only allow you the breeder record your parities on the CMMS. SeNDING IN DRY OFF DATeS IS CRITICAL!

eRRoRs: There are a number of things that you as a member can help with to reduce errors when registering your pedigree animals. * AI Recording: Use A.I. codes ONLY. Any deviation will go into error. e.g. if you use the “Name” of the bull. * Stock Bull: If you allocate a short code (see ex. below) you must use that code consistently. Non registered stock bulls will put the offspring into error and you will subsequently need to use the grade up system to get back to Pedgriee status.

Allocation of short Code for your stock Bull

The vast majority of the errors IHFA encounter in registrations on the Animal Events book are directly associated with the idenitifcation of one’s stock-bull. Please take note of the diagram below which shows clearly how to carry out a ‘once off’ notification of the identification of your stock-bull.

If you have a stock-bull, you may allocate a short code to the bull, and use this short code when registering the SIRE of a calf. We recommend you use the breed of the bull, combined with the last three digits of the tag (e.g. HF234). The “Short Code” only needs to be allocated once. The short code you allocate for your stockbull needs to be consistently applied when registering. 10

The 38th IHFA annual Bull show and sale was held at Nenagh Livestock Mart on Wednesday 27th March. The late Spring and harsh weather conditions leading to severe shortage of feed on many farms impacted on the demand for breeding bulls as it did on all livestock sales.

ley, Paddy Fraw

Champion was awarded to P. & D. Frawley’s bull Croagh Fevered,from Croagh, Rathkeale, Co. Limerick. PJ Kelly from the “Rochfort” herd,Rochfordbridge, Co Westmeath performed Judging duties on the day. In tapping out his champion PJ commented on his selection.

EMERALD ExPO 2013

Emerald Expo 2013 in association with

Two in a row for the Croagh Herd! The Emerald Expo 2013 saw a record entry of cows and young stock despite the difficult weather conditions this Spring. This All Breeds show was well represented in all the classes with Holstein, Irish Pure Friesian, Shorthorn and Jersey competing. With a record prize fund of 25K, we must be very thankful to all our sponsors in particular our major sponsor Alltech.

The Supreme Champion and Exhibitor Bred Champion was ”Croagh Sussie Mist 46 Ex 90” and the Reserve went to ”Ridgefield Dundee Portea Ex 93”. The result was a reversal of 2012 when the Portea cow took the Championship and Sussie Mist 46 took the Reserve. Indeed it would be difficult for any cow not alone the Portea to take on the Championship as she was just three weeks calved

The show in its third year was held at the Hub, Cilin Hill, Kilkenny on Saturday 26th April, a splendid modern facility, and a real showcase for the Holstein Friesian Breed. The Committee decided to go with a one day event which was very popular with everyone especially the trade stand holders and sponsors who are great supporters year on year.

Honourable mention was won by the Jones family, Co Wexford with “Desmond Dundee Embrace”. She also won overall best udder. The judge in his comments on the Champion was wholesome in his praise of this young 5 y o cow with three calves. He regarded her as having the best feet and legs he had ever judged.

The show was officially opened by John Bryan, President of IFA to whom we are very thankful. The quality of the stock was the best ever seen in the opinion of many of the spectators.

The Junior Champion was won by the Hurley family from Co Wicklow with “Clonpaddin Windbrook Fame”. Reserve went to Pat Coffey, Co Cork with “Lisnacunna Dee Beauty”.

The judge officiating at the show was the well known and respected International judge Paul Trapp. Paul hails from Minnesota USA and has judged on the International circuit, judging shows in the USA, Canada, Australia, Brazil, Japan and UK. He is also on the World Dairy Expo show committee and a 4-H judge (young members Handling)

The Intermediate Champion was won by Jim & Una Sinnott, Co Wexford with “Ballyboy Carmen VG86”. Reserve went to the Jones family with “Hallow Mojo Daisy” with honourable going to Cyril Dowling, Baldonnell, Co Dublin with “Baldonnell Goldwyn Sublime”

The Frawley family from Croagh, Rathkeale, Co Limerick continued with their success of 2012 and took the Supreme Championship and Reserve, having previously won this accolade at Emerald Expo 2012. Two in a row!

There was a very good turnout in the pure Friesian section. Martin Crowe took the Championship with “Dunum Sneacta 86 Ex91”. Reserve went to Phil, Matt and Bill O Keeffe with 29

NDC & Kerrygold Quality Milk Award 2013 for top Limerick herd PrESTigiOuS AwArd fOr fiTzgErAld fAmily The National Dairy Council & Kerrygold Quality Milk Awards set out to identify and to reward the top dairy farmer in the Republic of Ireland. The Awards create an opportunity to showcase to consumers the excellence of our pasture-based dairy farming whilst helping to build awareness about the dairy farmers in the Republic of Ireland who are behind our local dairy brands. The expert judging panel - Professor Paddy Wall, Associate Professor of Public Health at UCD; Dr. Jack Kennedy, Dairy Editor, Irish Farmers Journal; and Dr. David Gleeson, Milk Quality Research, Teagasc inspected all of the short listed farms and scrutinized the technical information and farm management practices supporting each farm’s consistently excellent quality milk standards. They also reviewed aspects of contemporary dairy farming ranging from sustainability and animal welfare to care of the environment The 2013 winners of the national prize for our best dairy farm are Edward & Olivia Fitzgerald, from Tobernea, Effin, Kilmallock, Co. Limerick. The Fitzgeralds, who supply milk to Kerry Agribusiness were presented with the National Dairy Council & Kerrygold Quality Milk Awards perpetual cup and €5,000 at an awards ceremony in the RDS by GAA star Bernard Brogan and Mr. Tom Hayes T.D., Minister of State at the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. Edward is the 5th generation of his family to farm at Tobernea. He took over the running of the family farm in 2008, the same year he married Olivia. His parents, Michael and Catherine, were at the RDS to celebrate the announcement of the national results.

Edward very enthusiastic about getting onto a ski slope for a week in winter. He is also a supporter of Munster rugby and Limerick hurling. There are 64 cows in the herd and milk is supplied to Kerry Agribusiness. A manufacturing milk supplier, his milk goes most frequently to Charleville or sometimes if needed to Listowel or Newmarket and it is usually used to make cheese. This farm is no stranger to awards for high standards. Edward’s father, Michael, was the winner of the Golden Vale Quality Milk Awards in the 1990’s taking second place then in the national Quality Milk Awards. Milk recording is an important tool in farm management, SCC is assessed approximately every second day and TBC is assessed twice a month. The herd’s average TBC is 10, SCC is 89, Butterfat 4.10%, protein 3.35% and lactose 4.78%. The farm has an 8 unit herringbone Dairymaster milking parlour originally installed in the 1980’s but extended in the 1990’s. The dairy uses a plate cooler and night rate electricity for efficiency. Cooling water is re-used to wash down the parlour. The cows would normally be out on grass from March to November, grazing on approximately 23 day rotation during high grass growth rates. The total farm area is 150 acres (60.7 hectares) with 60 acres of a total grazing area (24.3 hectares) with 40 acres of rented land. With milk quotes are set to be abolished in 2015, Edward is not planning to rush out and increase his herd size. He initially plans to improve production levels from the current average herd yield of approximately 8,228 litres. He has the buildings and infrastructure in place to slowly increase the herd size thereafter but only in the context of retaining the herd at a scale which can continue to be managed comfortably while sustaining the quality of the cows and the quality of the milk. He can achieve future efficiencies and expand production with the existing herd of Pedigree Registered Holstein Friesians. He feels that there is sufficient scope and diversity within the Holstein Friesian breed to allow an increased output in milk solids while maintaining herd fertility and longevity. He recently joined the Limerick & Clare Friesian Breeders, the local club of the Irish Holstein Friesian Society. Edward enjoys being a member as it is “A very friendly club with good support, it is a good social outlet to meet local like-minded breeders”. The herd has enjoyed success in the clubs Herds competition, having won the Novice section in 2012 and then came 3rd in the Premier Section this year.

EDWARD & OLIvIA FITZGERALD – “TOBERFORT” herd Tobernea, Effin, Kilmallock, Co. Limerick One of a family of five, Edward who from a young age was always keen to follow the family footsteps into farming and helped out on the farm while holding down a full time job. In 2008 Edward took over running of the family farm and set about grading up the herd to pedigree status under the “Toberfort” prefix. Edward says that there is a great benefit from pedigree registration as he has an interest in the genetics of the herd which is enhanced through pedigree status. He recently Classified the herd for the first time and found it to be “A very useful and informative service”. His father Michael had worked hard on the farm, always striving to progress and develop. Now aged 66, Michael is still very much involved. Edward feels very fortunate to have the support and backup of his father especially at busy periods during the year. This allows the welcome opportunity to take a holiday or travel during the year, with 39

E = P + S PROGRAMME All IHFA members and Dairy Farmers across the country are focused on one major issue: improving their profitability. What prevents an individual from achieving this desired improvement in profitability is multi-factorial, but requires immediate action, particularly with the end of milk quotas in sight. Following the quota abolition, the possibility to push on for increased milk production is certainly within the capabilities of the animal. However, the fear is that this extra demand upon the dairy cow will lead to an increase in difficulties in reproduction and a potential rise in animal health problems. These are the main issues that were brought to Alltech’s attention from producers attending the recent National Dairy Show in Millstreet in Cork. It is these issues that are occupying the time and thoughts of dairy farmers across the country and these are the areas that Alltech believes it is best placed to assist.

Therefore, the questions we must ask are: 1. How do you improve efficiency? 2. What areas are open to improved efficiency? 3. How can we demonstrate that these improvements will yield the increased profitability and sustainability as guided? 4. How can Alltech help us to achieve this? All tech E=P +S Progr amme Over the last number of years Alltech has been aware of and has prepared for this opportunity to assist IHFA members and all Dairy Farmers in achieving improved efficiency in many areas of their farm enterprise. To this end Alltech now has a team of trained farm consultants capable of delivering advice, a feed formulation service and monitoring assistance that will be required for this new environment. It is Alltech’s commitment to the Dairy sector as displayed in it’s support of Emerald Expo which provides an outlet to interact and collaborate with Ireland’s pedigree Holstein Friesian breeders and dairy farmers, that allows staff to interact with dairy farmers to achieve these advances in profitability. Equally, Alltech is now in a position to be able to demonstrate, in advance of implementation, the probable outcome in economic value and reduced carbon emissions that can be achieved by adapting its recommendations. Alltech refers to this programme as the E=P+S Programme. Alltech can bring these services directly to your farm and will help to predict and monitor the benefits as well as clearly demonstrate these advantages through the unique dairy “What if?” Tool.

It is this requirement for improved efficiency, in these crucial areas, that will allow IHFA members and all dairy farmers achieve greater profitability, in a sustainable fashion. These are the driving factors behind the launch of the new Alltech dairy programme, called E=P+S. Efficiency = Profitability + Sustainability What does it mean? The drive to produce more milk and market this additional milk successfully without any negative impact on milk price, is something that Ireland is committed to under the umbrella of the Bord Bia initiative, Origin Green. In simple terms, we need to ensure that additional milk produced reduces an individual farmer’s carbon footprint so it can be incorporated into the drive for improved sustainability. In addition, sustainability is equally relevant to individual dairy farmers as the route to achieving this goal, it has only one pathway: improved efficiency of production. By improving milk production efficiency we open the door to the required increases in profitability and do so in the sustainable fashion required.

The “What if?” Tool allows Alltech consultants to audit an operation and offer alternative, more efficient dietary formulations and then clearly demonstrate, in advance, the level of improved profitability and sustainability that will be achieved by implementing these recommendations. 40

Availability of the E = P + S Programme This service is immediately available to any member of IHFA, either as dairy farmers individually or collectively or members of Clubs, Discussion groups etc. It is Alltech’s intention that it can work together with dairy farmers across the country and demonstrate the value that it can bring, via this programme, on either an individual or group basis. Alltech farm consultative staff are willing to undertake this service with all interested IHFA members.

Success to date Over the last number of years, Alltech’s dairy support programme has yielded incredible responses on numerous operations in terms of its ability to dramatically reduce issues such as retained cleansings and milk fever. In many cases, the programme has helped to reduce the daily feeding cost and significantly increase milk yield without any adverse effects to the fertility of the cow. For many years, Alltech has been assisting IHFA members in appreciating and benefiting from the merits of Holstein genetics. The company’s goal of greater production in a more effective manner whilst enhancing fertility and health is already being achieved. With the addition of the farm consultative service, the new Alltech E=P+S Programme hopes to extend these benefits to a greater audience. If you or your club wish to avail of the Alltech E=P+S service please contact your local Alltech representative.

Charles Gallagher, Chief Executive, Mervyn Helen host and John O Flynn, President of IHFA and local West Cork breeder welcomed the large crowd. The official opening was performed by Eamonn O ’Cuiv, TD, Fianna Fail spokesperson on Agriculture, Food and Community affairs. Other dignitaries included Kevin Dillon, former C.E. of IHFA and family friend, Ken Proctor and his wife Rebecca from the “Airfield” Holstein herd in the UK, local dignitaries and members of the press. I wish to thank Ken for judging the National Herds Competition.

for judging and the judges were wholesome in their praise of their quality and longevity. I wish to thank our Master Judges Tom Kelly, “Monamore” Herd, Co Louth, John O Sullivan” Lisduff” herd Co. Cork and Ken Proctor, Airfield herd, UK. Also Stephen Nagle, Brian Kingston, Michael Coleman and Paul Hannan who adjudicated on the reasons. I wish to thank the IHFA staff who put in an inordinate amount of work on the days leading up to the event and on the day. I wish to thank the SPONSORS: Key sponsors were Greenvale Animal feeds who sponsored the National Herds Competition, Lisavaird and other West Cork Co-op members Carbery and Clona dairies who sponsored the Interclub Stock judging and FBD Insurance & Weatherby’s Laboratories who sponsored the Gold and Diamond Awards. Also our appreciation to Munster A.I. Group; DSM Nutritional Products; TJ Crowley Mills, Old Chapel, Bandon, Pearse O’Sullivan, (Bova Genetics) & Southern Milling. There was a complete programme of events featuring Milk Quality, Forage Budgeting (Teagasc), Grass seed establishment, nutritional advice and an open forum addressing opportunities post quotas and the genetic diversity of the Holstein Friesian breed to suit different dairy farming systems. The forum was chaired by Dr. Doreen Corridon, Munster Group.

We were blessed with the weather after a very difficult Spring. There was great positivity amongst farmers with most of the work load on farms under control. It was a family day out and everyone could chat and enjoy the day in great comfort. The Cork Holstein Friesian Club Lady members, family & friends, members of the Cork Southwest Association for Autism undertook a mammoth task in catering for the unprecedented crowds who attended on the day. The plentiful selection of food was testament to the generosity and help which was available not only on the day but on the weeks leading up to the event.

The Kilgarriffe prefix was established in 1965 by Richard’s parents. There are three generations of the family currently on this outstanding dairy farm. The farm has grown in size since the early 50’s milking 20 cows with the current milking herd standing at 200. The total area farm extends to 200 hectares, including a 60 hectare milking platform. Liquid milk is supplied to Clona dairies and the family also supply milk to Lisavaird Co-Op for cheese manufacturing . The breeding philosophy at Kilgarriffe is trouble free cows developed through strong cow families. Average yield last year was 9,132 kgs at 4.06 % Butterfat and 3.35 % Protein which equates to over 650 Kgs milk solids per cow. This is a phenomal performance on a tight grazing platform averaging 2,000kgs solids /hectare. There are 36 EX, 102 VG and 60 GP classified cows in the herd. All replacements are reared on the farm with 40 bulls from the top cow families retained each year to sell as stock bulls.

The IHFA Open Day consisted of Interclub stock judging and presentation of the National Herds Competition results. Other presentations included the Gold and Diamond Awards for individual cow performance. YMA (young members association) held their stock judging on the day. They introduced a special class for under 12 years of age which was a novel event with a record number of participants. IHFA also facilitated Macra Na Feirme with their stock judging on the day. Interclub Stock Judging The Interclub Stock Judging featured three classes of in milk animals, Heifers, Junior and Senior cows. Everyone was very impressed with the quality of cows presented 43

Kilgarriffe Celebration Sale: The young stock sale represented the pick of the pens at Kilgarriffe . This was a great opportunity to buy into some of the deep pedigreed cow families in the herd. The sale averaged over €2,000 with the top price of €4,100 going to Kilgarriffe Sharon 1 ET. This was a very stylish calf by Man-O-Man from the Sharon family, her dam a third calf VG 87 cow by Goldwyn. Her second dam is a full sister to the renowned sire Picton Shottle. Purchasers were from across the country with 2 lots going to Northern Ireland. The sale was a great barometer of the positivity amongst dairy farmers at present. Trade Stands: There were over 70 Trade stands on the day who reported very good business. Richard Whelan chairman of IHFA and host Richard Helen thanked everyone for attending and supporting the day. Charles Gallagher, Chief executive thanked the host farm, sponsors, members of the press, the Cork Holstein Friesian Club, cow handlers, YMA, staff and everyone who helped out to make the open day such a success.

lactation data. This data is officially authenticated, “ You can see what is in the tin” It adds value to the herd in terms of stock sales. There are great cows out there on commercial farms than can easily become Pedigree through the IHFA Grade Up scheme. There is a commercial advantage to pedigree says Tom. Ken Proctor from the Airfield herd in East Anglia is milking 400 cows indoors all year. They have no options as it is a very arid area with about 18” rain per annum. It is a high production system averaging close to 11,000 litres. Ken emphasized the need for a structurally sound cow no matter what system you are in and the need for good record keeping. Ken also emphasised the importance of being a member of an organization such as IHFA and the “Social Capital” in meeting like minded people where one can discuss ideas and make enduring friendships. Martin Crowe of the Dunum herd of Pure Friesians described his system as low input with cows calving from 10th January and all finished by 14th February. He sees Calving Interval as a critical key performance indicator, but you also need functional cows that are trouble free. Mervyn Helen spoke on his system where they are carrying 200 cows on 60 hectares of a grazing platform. This is very tight stocking . Average yield last year was 9,132 kgs at 4.06 % Butterfat and 3.35 % Protein which equates to over 650 Kgs milk solids per cow. This is outstanding performance on a tight grazing platform averaging 2,000kgs solids /hectare. Mervyn spoke on the importance of grass reseeding. They reseed 20% each year. Dr. Doreen Corridon in summing up mention the role of Genomics and the adoption of the new technology by the board of IHFA. All registered Holstein Friesian bulls have their parentage validated and in addition have genomic proofs.

IHFA Open Day Forum As part of the programme of events for the day there was an open forum on “The Genetic Diversity and Adaptability of the Holstein Friesian breed”. With milk quotas being abolished post 2015 there is a great opportunity for a new generation of dairy farmers to get into milk production. The Open day afforded the opportunity to have a panel of active dairy farmers and noted breeders of the Black and White breed discuss their production systems and the genetic diversity of the Holstein Friesian breed to suit their varied dairy farming systems. The forum was chaired by Dr. Doreen Corridan, Munster Group. The panel of speakers included Mervyn Helen of the “Kilgarriffe” herd, Master Judges for the day Tom Kelly, “Monamore” Herd, Co Louth, John O Sullivan “Lisduff” herd Co Cork and Ken Proctor, “Airfield” herd, UK. Also included were Martin Crowe breeder of the “Dunum” herd of Pure Friesians, Doon, Co Limerick and chairman of the Pure Friesian Club and Kevin Dillon former CE of IHFA. Kevin Dillon gave an Introduction to the breed and early developments. Kevin was very much influenced by Fr. Paddy Collins, Dean of Warrenstown Agricultural College who was a great exponent of the Black&White breed at a time when Shorthorns were the dominant breed. Kevin’s enduring memory from his days in Warrenstown as a student was the advice by Fr. Paddy at that time: “Grow good grass, make quality silage instead of hay and follow the Friesian cow”. This advice is as relevant today as it was back then said Kevin!

Charles Gallagher, Chief Executive thanked Doreen and all the panel for giving great insight into their Production systems and words of advice and encouragement to new entrants. The Helen family wish to express a sincere thank you for all the help and support with the IHFA open day. The Cork Holstein Friesian Club and the Cork YMA club under the leadership of Robert Shannon who gave so freely of their time and worked so hard to train the cows for stock judging and prepare for the event. To the IHFA CEO Charles Gallagher & office staff for their assistance. To John Kirby and Paul Boal and all the IHFA field staff for their expertise and advice and many hours of hard work. To Connor Morley and his team who did an excellent job in presenting the animals to a very high standard. To master judges Ken Proctor, John O’Sulivan and Tom Kelly. Reason Giving Judges, Stephen Nagle, Paul Hannan, Brian Kingston and Michael Coleman who all carried out their tasks with great skill. Ernest Jennings and his team who managed the car parking so well and making sure no one went astray! To members of the Cork South West Association for Autism, members of the Cork Holstein Friesian Club, friends and family who helped with the serving of food to the large crowds who attended on the day. A special thanks also goes to those who helped out with feeding all the workers and helpers prior to the event as well as neighbours, friends and family who arrived to help on the days leading up the event. We also wish to thank Raymond Guest of Clonakilty Engineering for providing facilities which enabled photographers to capture aerial photographs. This support from all of the above was a major contribution to making the day a success and is greatly appreciated by the Helen family.

John O Sullivan, Lisduff herd, emphasized that there was only one system and that was “make maximum use of grass”. After that you have to adjust your stocking rate to your milking platform. Some will need to supplement more than others depending on what output they want to achieve. No matter what system you are in you need productive, trouble free cows. Tom Kelly of the Monamore herd spoke of the challenges in particular the need to increase Longevity in our cows. “We need cows lasting 6 to 8 lactations”. Addressing fertility is one component but in addition we need the conformation and functionality of good legs and feet and sound udders. Tom spoke of the advantages of pedigree registration in having official records of ancestry going back 110 years, conformation and 44

– Brochan Cocoman, Kilwarden, Kill, Co Kildare. The quality of animals and calibre of the “Kilwarden” herd is such that Brochan Cocoman was again recognised at National level, winning the over 70 cow section IHFA National Herds Competition 2013 and was also placed 1st in the Judges Choice award. This success in 2013 follows on from previous successes in the IHFA National Herds Competition, including 3rd place (over 70 cow section) and 2nd in the Judges Choice, 2012. The herd was founded in 1977 with the purchase of sixty

Breeding Policy We like to breed deep bodied cows with good overall type and protein. A.I. sires for use in the herd are selected on the basis of high total milk solids, good udders and correct feet & legs. There is a preference for Canadian bloodlines. Current sires being used include Windbrook, Sid, Fever, Lavanguard and Brawler with Goldwyn and Numero Uno used for flushing. We also like to introduce a new family from time to time with the purchase of some imported embryos. These include Petrelle, Idee Lustre, Promise, Debutante Rae and Barbie. The heifers who calved-in and joined the milking herd in the past year have performed very well. In particular two heifers by Picston Shottle performed exceptionally well scoring VG88. Both have since calved in with their second, hopefully they will progress in 2014. The sale of bulls, milking heifers and young stock continue to prove successful in many herds throughout the country. The ultimate aim is to continue to do a good job producing high quality milk from a premium-calibre herd.

The farm consists of 180 acres all in grass. Summer grazing is supplemented with maize silage, brewers grains and coarse ration. In winter cows are fed 50 % grass silage 50% Maize, brewers grains and coarse ration. Currently the herd average (305 day) is 10,006kgs 3.7 % Butter Fat and 3.3% Protein. Over the years a number of heifers and embryos were imported from Canada establishing families such as Laurie 59

production of the dam of the sires is also an important factor. Some of the oldest cows in the herd are sired by Shottle, Igniter, Roy and Titan. He is very pleased with his milking Aftershock heifers. There are promising young heifers by Mr Sam. Current sires being used on the herd are Goldsun and Delta Amazing. The thrive and growth of youngstock is very important as every effort goes into ensure replacement heifers reach target weights so as to calve-in at 24 months old.

CLONPADDIN – Hurley Family, Ballymoyle, Arklow, Co. Wicklow Success in the Judges Choice section of the IHFA National Herds Competition was a highlight in a year of much success and achievement for the Hurley family’s “Clonpaddin” herd in 2013. The herd of 85 pedigree registered cows, managed by brothers Gary and Pat was selected 3rd by judge Ken Proctor in his Judges Choice award. John Hurley registered the first “Clonpaddin” animals in 1954. Garry’s son Mark is the 3rd generation to become involved in this renowned Co Wicklow herd.

Thomas Byrne with Gordon Richardson, Greenvale Animal Feeds, Sponsor. Having finished 2nd in the Spring section in the IHFA National Herds Competition 2012 it was with much delight that Thomas Byrne received 1st place this year. In addition, his “Lask” herd was chosen by judge Ken Proctor in 3rd place for the Judges Choice award. Thomas said that “These are lovely awards to receive, in recognition of the effort put into breeding”. Thomas farms with his wife Fidelma and daughter Sinead at Cloonamona, Craanford, Gorey in Co Wexford. The Lask prefix was registered in 2002. Average production in 2012 was over 9,988 kgs at 3.64 % Fat, 3.32 % Protein, 694 kgs Combined Fat & Protein. He enjoys the management of the herd, stressing that “It is important to make every effort to get things right.”

The list of successes at shows throughout the year include; Junior Champion at Emerald Expo, Junior & Senior Champion at Tinahely, Champion & Reserve Junior Championship at the

His aim is to work with a high yielding herd of home-bred cows developed from solid cow families with balanced conformation for good longevity and economic production. Thomas feels that cows performed very well in 2013 due to the quality and quantity of grass grown. He tries to make maximum use of grazed grass throughout the year with cows kept out for as long as the conditions allow. Grass silage forms the bulk of the Winter diet so the focus is on making the highest quality possible. The milking herd of 38 cows consists of 12 EX, 15 VG and 11 GP animals (average classification From left: Mairead & Gary Hurley, Andrew Doyle, T.D. for Wicklow, 86.6 points). Classification is an important tool as it Patrick Hurley, Mai and John Hurley. helps to develop and add value to cow families.

Milk is supplied to Glanbia on a Winter milk contract with seperate contract/bonus for Spring. In 2012 the herd average (305 day) yield was 8,737 kgs at 3.78 % Fat and 3.29 %Protein. The calving season starts in early August and finishes by April 15th. Grazed grass makes up the bulk of the diet during the Summer months. However the underlying soil type is such that droughts can regularly occur. Supplementary feed is offered to the milking cows to maximise Dry Matter Intake. As a response to the increased value on Protein in the co-ops milk pricing structure the winter diet has been refined. It consists of a TMR mix of grass silage, whole crop, beet, maize meal, crimped barley, molasses, straw , soya, minerals & vitamins. Gary states that the breeding goal is to work with the best cow families to breed cows who are functional for all traits, produce a high volume of milk and milk solids with the ability to last in the herd for many lactations. The “Jill” family make up one quarter of the herd, this family were among the first cows to be registered in the herd in 1954. Other prominent families include the “Mona”, “Fame”, “Fanta” and three recent additions; “Portea” (Croagh), “Ruby” (Holmland) and “Pledge” (Windy-Knoll). The Portea family member is Croagh Talent Portea, bought as a calf who is now V88. Cradenhill Linjet Fame remains a stalwart in the herd, now aged 10 years old and still flushing very successfully. Clonpaddin MPW Jill is a very promising Atwood heifer who classified VG87 as a fresh calver. Other impressive youngstock making up the next generation at Clonpaddin including heifers by; Fever, Windbrook and Goldchip in the heifer pens. Current sires include McCutcheon, Doberman and Brockaw. Sexed semen has been used extensively with positive results to date. The aim at Clonpaddin is to calve-in heifers aged between 2 years – 27 months of age.

mention was Champion in 2011 and Reserve Champion in 2012. In tapping out his Champion Lyndon commenting on the calibre of Irish dairy breeding, he said the winner was ‘the epitome of perfection for Holstein youthfulness’. He selected the four year old Holstein Friesian Sahara Goldwyn Ambrosia 4 VG 89 to be crowned the Diageo Baileys® Irish Champion. The winning cow is owned by Neal Pepper, from Dromore Co. Down. Last year’s winner, Ridgefield Dundee Portea owned by Pat and Derek Frawley from Rathkeale Co.

Co Down breeder Neal Pepper wins the Diageo Baileys Irish Champion Cow 2013 with Sahara Goldwyn Ambrosia 4 VG 89 The Diageo Baileys Irish Champion cow in conjunction with Virginia show was held on 23rd August. There was a very large crowd packed around the ring side for this marvelous spectacle of Quality cows who in their own right were champions at various shows throughout the summer. The competition co– sponsored by Diageo and Glania Ingredients was celebrating its 30th anniversary with a special prize fund of €10,000. International judge of this year’s competition was Canada born Lynden Bustard from Devon who comes from a long tradition of dairy farming and works as a classifier with Holstein UK. He had the tough task of separating these fine animals and selecting the winner.

It is only the second time that a Northern Ireland breeder has won the top title, the first time being its inaugural year in 1983. The heifer in milk was won by Cyril and John Dowling Baldonnell with Baldonnell Goldwyn Sublime. The dry cow champion was won by M&P Jones, Gorey, Co. Wexford with their cow Hallow Lheros Indianink.

Although numbers were slightly back on other years it made up for it in Quality. The quality can be assessed from the fact that the Reserve champion was champion in 2012 and Honourable 65

CLASSIFIERSWORKSHOP

Multi Breed Workshop Holstein UK 2nd-4th september 2013 Report by Rob Hancock

track straight. In conclusion the heifer was scored GP84. After a few more animals were classified, the breed society thanked everyone for their hard work in mainting the standards and we headed back to the hotel. It was great to catch up with former colleagues and catch up on old times. Next morning it was off to Sandyford Ayshires, home of the great Sandyford Clover EX97. This herd probably caused the most debate. We were fortunate to have four heifers that stood 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th at the recent European Dairy Show in Birmingham. The heifer that stood 6th was scored VG86 a no holes heifer, and hard to fault. This is where it got interesting as the first 3 all went on to make GP84 even with one of the heifers carrying a maximum scored udder VG89 These heifers all scored G.P84 due to Legs and Feet not being VG. Their breed society didn’t want them VG as they felt legs and feet are becoming a problem within the breed. At GP84, heifers will not be considered as bull Dams. The Ayshire Development Commitee also reiterated if members have problems with this standard they should be referred to the Committee. The next heifer into the classifiers was a fresh heifer calved 2 days. Most of the classifiers wouldn’t score her but again the Ayshire Breed Development Commitee stated as bulls are short of daughters to make bull proof they felt this heifer should be scored. The meeting finished with the immortal Sandyford Clover EX97 was paraded infront of us, she certainly had the wow factor.

John, Paul and I were invited to the U.K for a Multi Breed Workshop of Jersey’s Dairy Shorthorn’s and the Ayshire breeds. Some of our members would already be aware that for the last 17 years the Jersey breed has been classified by U.K and Irish classifiers. We had already agreed with the Dairy Shorthon Society that their herds would be inspected soon after this workshop, as a result around 350 animals have been inspected to date. After a very eventful journey to Derbyshire, we eventually arrived at the hotel in the early hours,morning came a couple of hours later and onto work. The Dairy Shorthorns started proceedings. Their Breed Development Commitee adressed all classifiers welcoming everyone and introduced the schedule. The first item was high pointed animals. They felt these animals have to have the WOW factor and felt they would prefer animals to be kept on the tight side - 89 point heifers and 95 point cows, it was felt that you want to get into a car to go and look at them. At this workshop there was 10 dairy Shorthorns to inspect, from heifers to mature cows. The standard was mighty impressive, and for the three Irish classifiers this came as a big surprise. However since I’ve started scoring Dairy Shorthorn’s in Ireland, it is my opinion that there are cows here that can match the best anywhere. Infact, there is a 3rd calf EX92 Point cow at James Lamb’s in Carrickmacross that would take on any cow in any interbreed competition.

It was a worthy event to provide a discussion exchange between classifiers and other dairy breed societies. Its interesting to note that its always the show animals that get scrutinized the most. Sometimes I feel the GP heifer is unappreciated. In the U.K they have just done a study on 100 tonne animals that these started off with a heifer score of 80.4 points.

After a superb lunch we headed off to John and Sue Dickenson’s “Thurlstone” Jersey herd we were greeted and welcomed by the Jersey Breed Development Commitee and again they expressed the same concerns, that the high point animals have got to be kept tight. Although this was very interesting they did present a young 2 year old heifer they felt should be VG85 but every classifier there had her at GP83 or 84 due to a narrow chest and front legs toeing out, this led to a major discussion. The breed panel felt the heifer was being hit twice, firstly for chest width and secondly for front legs. The point was made that you can have a wide chested animal that toes out but, also a narrow chested animal where the front legs

Finally I would like to thank the Ayshire, Jersey and Dairy Shorthorn Societies for the great workshops so beneficial to all. Thanks to Holstein U.K. and Michael Parsons for the invitation to this well organized event. Thanks to IHFA for making the trip possible. 75

NATIONALDAIRySHOW,MILLSTREET2013

Dundee Portea on the Double at Millstreet Patrick & Derrick Frawley’s “Ridgefield Dundee Portea” reigns supreme for the 2nd National Dairy Show Dairy farmers gathered in large numbers for the National Dairy show at the Green Glens arena, Millstreet in mid October.

sessions were a useful forum to discuss animal health and financial topics. Among the speakers were Dr. Charles Chavasse, Zoetis, Donal Whelton, AIB Agri Advisor and John Broderick of BMJ Consultants. Renowned judge, Mick Gould of the “Woodmarsh” herd, UK, had the onerous task of judging the finest of Irish Holstein breeding. Breeders from far and near brought out their cattle with counties such as Donegal, Mayo, Cavan, Monaghan, Meath, Wexford, Wicklow and Carlow, to name a few, represented. Michael is no stranger to judging in Ireland,having judged the Baileys in 2010 and Winter Fair Balmoral. His International judging experience to mention a few include the Royal Highland, UK National dairy show, Australian National Holstein show and the Dutch HHH show.

There was great positivity and expectation of a brighter future in dairy farming with everyone’s sights set on Milk Quotas being abolished in 2015. It was hard to believe that farmers had already put behind them the difficult weather in the springtime which led to fodder shortages on many farms. The unprecedented milk prices and great weather had raised all boats. The Show has developed over the years with great support from Irish breeders, trade stand exhibitors and of course great sponsors, indeed many of the sponsors are supporters from the very first show in 1982. I wish to pay tribute to the Cork Holstein Friesian Club and the various committees down the years who have helped to promote the Black and White breed at Millstreet show. They also have broadened the scope of the show with innovative awards and information forums on topics relevant to dairy farmers of the day.

Michael in his opening address outlined the qualities and traits he was looking for in his selections; “Cows with strength and capacity, locomotion and quality udders”. The atmosphere was electric as Michael selected his final line up to include the senior 3 year old Bordermist Sanchez Fran, 5 year old cow Hallow Advent Twizzle 3, Mature cows Ridgefield Dundee Portea and Laurelmore Duplex Impala and Production Class winner Lisnacunna Lheros Passion.

The 31st show exceeded all expectations. Entries were well up on previous years with exceptional quality right down the lines in all classes. The superstars of the Irish Holstein cattle industry competed in an atmosphere of excitement and true sportsmanship. Everyone commented on the excellent standard of the cattle.

To thunderous applause after thanking his stewards and exhibitors for their help and cooperation Michael tapped out Ridgefield Dundee Portea for Supreme Champion . He commented “That she exhibited all round balance and is the type of cow we all strive to breed ,not the biggest cow but she has the mobility, hard top and excellent udder that as breeders we all desire” .

There was a record number of trade stands once again a testament to prospects in dairy farming. The National Dairy Show Forum on Budgeting and Finance, sponsored by Zoetis, broadened the scope and appeal to all dairy farmers. The two 77

It was also a memorable day for Mervyn, Philip and the Jones family, Gorey, Co Wexford who won Reserve Supreme Champion, Exhibitor Bred Champion and Reserve with Hallow Advent Twizzle 3. Honourable mention went to Pat Coffey, Enniskeane, Co. Cork with Lisnacunna Lheros Passion. Intermediate Champion went to Cyril & John Dowling’s “Baldonnel Talent Raquel” with Aidan Foody’s “Sprucegrove Baxter Polly” in Reserve.

Co Limerick retained her crown as Showmanship League Champion handler in the under 26 class. James O’ Sullivan, Bandon, Co Cork was Showmanship League Champion Handler in the under 16 class. Judge Whittaker also put the handlers in the Millstreet Show handling classes through their paces. Lauren O’ Toole, Bagenalstown, Carlow took Champion Handler with Conor Lynch, Ballingarry, Limerick in Reserve. Cyril Dowling of the noted “Baldonnel” herd, was presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award, testament to the many accolades and achievements over a lifetime of breeding and showing top Holstein cattle from his Co. Dublin stable. The award capped off another successful show outing for “Baldonnel”, the highlight of which was the capture of the Intermediate Championship and Junior 2 year old Heifer in Milk class with “Baldonnel Talent Raquel”. “Baldonnel Goldie Larissa” won the Junior 3 Year Old Heifer/Cow in milk class. Reserve went to Paul & Marguerite Flanagan with Tubbertoby Atwood Maddie.

Mairead McGuinness M.E.P. officially opened the National Dairy Show. She referred to the on-going C.A.P. discussions, threats and opportunities that lie ahead while acknowledging the current positive outlook for milk markets. Show Director Seamus Crowley, on behalf of the organising committee thanked the breeders, exhibitors, handlers who had worked hard to ensure their cattle were turned out to the highest standards. The National Dairy Show Best Tradestand title was awarded to IHFA. ‘Slurrysafe’, a farmers invention by Alan and Collette Martin, Ballyduff Upper, Co. Waterford won the National Dairy Show’s Gold Innovation Award.

Following on from hosting a most successful IHFA Open Day the Helen family, Clonakilty, Co Cork won both the Confined Champion Cow in Milk and Confined Heifer in Milk. Kilgarriffe Pixie 7th by Mr Sam, took the honours in the Heifer class while Kilgarriffe Annie 24 was Confined Champion Cow with Liam and Sandra Murphy, Bagenalstown, Carlow taking Reserve Champion with Swiftsheath Susie Mist 923. Local breeder John O’ Callaghan had Champion Cow, shown not inmilk with the home-bred Mountfarna MOD Wendy.

IHFA C.E. Charles Gallagher complimented “The breeders for the quality of the stock on show” and commended the National Dairy Show Committee for “A tremendous showcase for the breed” . YMA was to the fore, holding a Field to Foto competition and the final of its Showmanship League 2013. The Field to Foto was held on the eve of the show with club teams putting their clipping, handling and photography skills to the test. Teamwork and dedication was to the fore as YMA members enjoyed the spotlight in the cattle shed amidst bustling preparations for the next day. In what proved to be a very close affair the Breffni Oriel team emerged victorious. IHFA sponsored refreshments as part of the Stockmanship Reception on the eve of the show. Izzy Whittaker, editor of the Holstein UK Journal and a former European Showmanship Champion judged the Showmanship league final. This was the grand finale of YMA’s Summer-long competition where members competed for qualifying points at various local shows nationwide. Caitriona Neville, Croagh,

For the Walsh family, Scartaglen, Co Kerry it was a day to be treasured when their “Counguilla Ares Lulu” won her Heifer class. Philip and Mervyn Jones’s “Hallow Advent Twizzle” and “Bordermist Sanchez Fran” won the Senior 5 year old and 3 year old in-milk classes respectively before going on to win Exhibitor Bred Champion & Reserve. Victor Jackson’s “Crossnacole Precious Gold” claimed the 4 year old in milk class. The quality of the cows was such that tension filled the air as the Senior Championship drew ever closer. Pat Coffey’s “Lisnacunna Lheros Passion” won the Production Class. As exhibitors in the Mature Cow class entered the ring, onlookers were aware of the difficult task ahead of the judge. Judge Gould praised the cows in the class for being a tremendous showcase for the longevity of Holstein cows. To much acclaim and fanfare Ridgefield Dundee Portea was tapped out as Champion with Jones’s Hallow Advent Twizzle in Reserve and Bordermist Sanchez Fran taking Honourable Mention.

IBR in

Dairy Herds

IBR is recognised as a significant virus in Irish cattle. One of the impacts of IBR in dairy herds is milk loss associated with both clinical (obvious) and sub-clinical (not noticeable) disease. Signs of clinical IBR disease are mainly respiratory disease with plenty of coughing and runny eyes and noses with high temperatures as well as fertility issues and calves with meningitis like symptoms. The threat to individual herds is the cost of the disease as well the loss of genetic potential. Animals that are IBR positive cannot enter AI stations. In addition increasing areas of Europe are IBR free and can refuse entry to IBR positive animals or animals from countries with endemic IBR The control measures available to prevent and eradicate IBR are vaccination and biosecurity. An animal that contracts IBR at any age is a carrier of the virus for life. Whilst they may not show clinical signs of infection they carry the virus in their nervous system and can spread the virus to other animals at any stage.

Vaccination All IBR vaccines in Ireland are marker vaccines. This means you can tell the difference between animals that are vaccinated or are carriers of the virus. Vaccination options: There are two types of IBR marker vaccines, live and inactivated (dead) 88

FINAL Layout Section 2_Layout 1 02/12/2013 14:58 Page 89

Live IBR vaccines provide 6 months cover. Live vaccines are recommended for use in young stock and animals that have not previously been exposed to IBR. (Or in the face of an outbreak) Inactivated (dead) IBR vaccines are known to be better at reducing spread of IBR from carrier animals to other animals in the herd. In addition if you use Inactivated vaccine you can vaccinate your main herd on an annual basis. ThemoststraightforwardherdIBRvaccinationplanis • Vaccinate young stock from 3 months of age into the muscle with Live vaccine • Re-vaccinate these young animals with Inactivated vaccine within 6 months of their first dose • Vaccinate the main herd with Inactivated vaccine on an annual basis as long as they have had a dose of Rispoval IBR Live as their initial vaccination.

Biosecurity Ensure all animals entering your herd are IBR free by blood testing in advance of arrival. IBR test status: Animals that are not vaccinated and not carriers are gB negative and gE negative Animals that are vaccinated and are not carriers are gB positive and gE negative Animals that are carriers of the wild virus are gE positive and gB positive

TEST RESULT

STATUS

gB negative and gE negative

Not Vaccinated, not a carrier of IBR

gB positive and gE negative

Vaccinated with marker vaccine, not a carrier of wild IBR

gE positive

Carrier of wild IBR

So if you buy a bull that is gB positive and gE negative that means he has been vaccinated using an IBR marker vaccine but is free of wild virus. If on the other hand you buy replacement heifers that are all gE positive that means they are all carriers of IBR wild virus and could be a threat to the rest of your herd.

Don’t compRomIse on feed energy for the milking herd this winter IntRoDuctIon Feeding the milking herd to optimum performance this winter should be quite straightforward relative to last year. Compared to 12 months ago, concentrate ingredient prices are lower, forage stocks are adequate for most farms, and silage analysis results show a 3-4 point increase in DMD. Nonetheless, the challenge for individual farms is to find a cost-effective diet that meets target milk production and holds body condition for fertility. Also, the prospect of a superlevy fine complicates the issue for some farms this year and may lead to underfeeding if diets are not correctly balanced. It is useful therefore to look at some basic herd nutrition principles and how they can be implemented in practice.

Dr. Joe Patton, Teagasc, Johnstown Castle Research Station

other ingredients to balance the diet. It is worth remembering that overall UFL and PDI content are more important for performance than the individual feeds included. • Forage dry matter intake (DMI) potential dictates total energy intake and concentrate feeding level required. High quality (75+ DMD) well-preserved grass silage can support up to 14 litres milk per day, compared to 6-8 litres for average DMD silage. This equates to a concentrate saving of 3-4kg per day. Use analysis results to review silage-making practices for next season. • Target at least 13kg DMI from grass silage. Offering maize or whole-crop silage at around one third of forage DM will increase total forage intake by 10-15% with high quality silage and by 35-40% with lower DMD material. • Holstein cows in early-mid lactation require approximately 5.5 UFL per day for maintenance plus another 0.44 UFL per litre of milk produced. This means for that 18.7 UFL would be needed to support 30 litres with no weight loss. Consequently, the energy content of the total diet should be 0.90 to 0.93 per kg for a typical DMI of 20-21kg • A diet NDF content of 32-35% is generally sufficient to maintain rumen function and milk fat percentage, provided that three quarters of this comes from forage. Silage intakes of 12-14kg DM will ensure this NDF level is met for concentrate feeding rates up to 10kg per day. Research results and on-farm experience show that added straw is not necessary in such circumstances. • While some loss is inevitable post-calving, the extent of BCS change should not exceed 0.5 units between calving and breeding. It is important to understand that increasing concentrate levels alone post calving will not prevent BCS loss, as this usually results in a direct milk yield response. Managing dry cows to calve at BCS 3.25, maximising intake of high quality forage, and genetic selection for improved body condition are all more effective means of managing body condition post calving. • It is often the case that high protein concentrates are fed to boost milk yield in early lactation. However, where energy intake is compromised (poor quality silage etc), this may drive excess loss of body condition. A better feeding strategy is to set the protein (PDI) content of the diet to match UFL intake. The PDIN and PDIE levels can be balanced by feeding lower crude protein/higher

energy, protein and fibre- building blocks of the diet Energy intake is the most limiting part of the milking cow diet. Feed energy can be measured as UFL (1 UFL = energy content of 1kg barley). Starch, sugars and digestible fibre contribute to energy content. The UFL values for a range of ingredients are listed in Table 1. High digestibility silage has increased UFL content as well as better dry matter intake capacity, giving a double benefit to overall energy intake. Fibre is required to maintain rumen function and prevent digestive problems. Excess fibre will reduce energy levels so the aim is to strike a balance between providing energy for performance and fibre for rumen health. A very good practical measure of fibre is NDF (neutral detergent fibre) - this is routinely measured as part of silage analysis. Protein is a key driver of milk production and as such it receives a lot of attention when assessing diets. Protein nutrition is quite complex because the lactating cow can absorb protein directly from the diet (bypass protein), or indirectly via protein manufactured by rumen microbes using the energy and nitrogen in feed. Crude protein (CP) content is not a reliable measure of diet quality for higher yielding systems because it only measures nitrogen content. The PDI system accounts for both the energy (PDIE) and nitrogen (PDIN) value of different feeds making it an excellent means of balancing diets for protein. Using energy, protein and fibre values in practice The following are some practical guidelines on how energy (UFL), protein (PDI), and fibre (NDF) can be used to build a diet. The lactating cow has well-defined requirements for each of these nutrients depending on bodyweight, stage of lactation and level of milk production. In general the aim should be to meet as much of these requirements as possible from high quality forage, and use the minimum number of 91

FINAL Layout Section 2_Layout 1 02/12/2013 14:58 Page 92

energy concentrates. Using this system diets can be fully balanced for production at 15% crude protein with PDIN/PDIE values of 95g per kg. The protein level required in concentrate very much depends on silage analysis results. • Do not compromise energy intake for freshly calved cows in a superlevy situation. Milk output can be limited by cutting the ratio of PDI to UFL in the diet to less than 100 to 1 while maintaining energy levels. An early lactation diet would have 0.90 UFL and 85g PDI per kg in this case. To reduce milk output from the farm, focus on culling high SCC cows, drying off stale cows early and using strategic once daily milking. • Before setting the overall feeding rate for the herd, examine milk recording figures noting the range in milk yield and number of cows within each category. For most 7500-8000 litre herds, the percentage of cows exceeding 35 litres at any given time will be less than 10%. Setting the average feeding level too high for current production levels results in reduced efficiency, higher feed costs and over-conditioning of late lactation cows. This can be a particular problem for TMR-fed herds with non-seasonal calving patterns. If possible, the level of flat-rate concentrate fed at the barrier should be kept relatively low (3-4kg max) in these circumstances with higher yielding cows topped up in the parlour. Where silage intakes are good, allocating 8kg per day of parlour-fed concentrate to individual cows will not be a problem. To conclude- a worked example of a milking diet A simple early lactation diet is described in Table 2 (this is the standard winter diet for the Teagasc winter milk herd in Johnstown Castle). Note the UFL value, balance of PDI levels and adequate fibre content. The base diet comprises quality grass and maize

silage, 2.5kg of coarse blend, plus 1kg high energy parlour-fed concentrate. This supports 22 litres per day with higher yielding cows topped up by 0.5kg concentrate per litre to a maximum level of 10 kg parlour-fed concentrate per day. This diet strategy meets daily individual UFL and PDI requirements ranging from 22 to 40 litres while maintaining body condition. As always, the emphasis must be placed on high digestibility silages and high energy concentrate ingredients as key to the winter diet plan for higher yielding systems.

Hall of Fame John Codd

Cunniamstown Queen 4 by Drake with 17 generations of breeding, Cunniamstown John Codd from Rathdrum, Co. Wicklow receives the Shottle Ebony Irish Holstein Friesian Association award from Niamh by Shottle with 15 Lynch who is the Fresh Foods Category Director for generations, Tesco Ireland at the Annual National Hall Of Fame Cunniamstown Awards in the Sheraton, Athlone on Sunday 5th May. Isette 670 by Molloy Photography. Comestar Lavingard with 10 generations are just a few examples of the depth of pedigree in the herd. John is a strong supporter of the Slaney club and was involved in the establishment of the club in 1976.

John Codd in his 84th year is still actively dairy farming with his son Richard at Cunniamstown, Rathdrum, Co. Wicklow. He is a keen showman, still showing and a great judge of stock. While visiting with John and his wife May one was awestruck with the array of trophies on the side board with cups and trophies dating back to the early days of Ashford Show, Tinahely show, RDS, Slaney club and many more. He introduced the first Friesians in 1950. They registered the Prefix â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cunniamstownâ&#x20AC;? with the British Friesian Cattle society, BFCS, the forerunner of HUK today. John continues to farm with his son Richard. They milk 70 cows and rear all the followers. The herd average is 9570 Kgs Milk at 3.24 Fat % and 3.32 % Protein. Over half the herd is classified VG/EX. The herd is noted for excellent breeding stock and those early families are still in big demand at farm sales which are held annually which must be close on 50 draft sales at this time. Heifers from these strong cow families always commanded top prices under the hammer of Johnston auctioneers. Looking at a profile of the herd you can follow the progession from Friesian breeding to Holstein in the early seventies.

John is a strong supporter of local shows. Success continued in the show ring and in 2011, at Emerald Expo 2011 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Knocklusk Celia 10â&#x20AC;? took the All Ireland Senior Cow in Milk. He won the double at Tinahely show with Cunniamstown Silky Ebony ET(89 points second calver ) awarded Champion and Knocklusk Goldwyn Celia 10 EX Reserve Champion.

both sire analysts, our official judges. ‘It was a real challenge to limit my choices to a top-5!’ These were the words of Paul Haskins about the choices he sent, after he was asked by H I to judge the Global Cow 2013 competition. ‘Rudy Missy is my first pick due to the numerous ways in which she has contributed to the breed.’ Haskins is referring to her special daughters, g randdaughters and even g reat-g randdaughters from numerous different paternal lines. ‘Her descendants provide DNA tested toppers such as Mogul, Maurice, Supersire, Oak and Skoda. But they also include proven bulls with superb type (Pine-Tree Sid), and her influence is now even reaching the g rowing demand for polled (Relief P).’ Missy received the maximum points from Haskins, as well as his French colleague/judge Jean-Yves Dreau from the French breeding company Evolution. Dreau says about her: ‘Missy is simply the winner for me; her influence on the Holstein population via heavily used proven-bulls world-wide is enormous: Even larger via her young DNA-tested sons and daughters.’ Over the years, achievements in the areas of genomics appear to become even more significant in the competition, while today, the youngest (g rand)sons are colouring the success of a famous brood cow. Never theless, getting back to Missy, this 92-point scoring Rudolph daughter, just like last year, ends up in second place, since the choice of the readers went to Atlee: More about Atlee shor tly.

DIVERGENT The notes on the featured candidates are impressive and provide a rationale for g iving them a ranking. ‘There are so many aspects to consider,’ emphasizes Haskins. ‘The achievements of DNA and progeny-sampled descendants, cow families and lifetime production are all impor tant.’ The sire analyst from Genex-CRI chose a diverse top-5 with Missy as number 1. He placed the American breeding star CoyneFarms Bret Daffers EX-91 in second ‘Primarily because of the proven per formances of her Bolton sons Dorcy and Dom, and their ability to combine various pedig rees and genetic values, providing for new options in the pursuit of outcross.’ As number 3, Haskins chose herdmate Coyne-Farms Ramos Jelly VG-85 due to the remarkable advance of this cow family in the top N M and TP I lists (Jabir, Jetset, Jacey, Jacey, Nominee, Jackman). In 4th place he put De-Su Oman 6121, with Atlee as fifth. ‘The achievements of her sons in the area of type, including Atwood, Aftershock and Atlantic are impressive and thus she earns a spot in my selection.’ Colleague Jean-Yves Dreau g ranted Durham daughter Atlee a third place ranking in his top-5. The French sire analyst mentions in his rationale the qualities of her Goldwyn son Atwood. ‘The consistency of her breeding pattern is truly astounding. The number of DNA tested sons that are coming through as proven bulls is remarkable and they are being used heavily world-wide by breeders and AI companies alike.’ As mentioned, Missy was Nr. 1 on Dreau’s Dreau’s list; he placed De-Su Oman 6121 in second place. ‘Her genes are being spread world-wide via her offspring and even reach France as well. The young bull Graal (Afran Ger x Stol Joc x Oman 6121) is extremely popular.’ And French influence is clearly not lacking in his selections, as seen in the inclusion of Radieuse (4) and Daxtairine (5). Dreau: ‘An ‘An impulsive choice. Jocko had an enormous impact on the Holstein population, so this is a tremendous oppor tunity to reintroduce the Jocko genes via Radieuse, one of his outstanding daughters.”

Irish Grassland Grassland Association Association Dairy Dairy summer summer tour tour 2013 2013 Irish “Growing Your Your Farm Farm Business Business efficiently” efficiently” “Growing On the 14th of August over 350 people attended the Irish Grassland Association’s annual Dairy Summer Tour for 2013. The event was once again kindly sponsored by AIB Bank. The theme of the tour was “Growing your farm business efficiently”. County Waterford was the selected location as there has been a significant expansion in the county recently. Kieran & Anne Hearne and family farm at Ballinacurra, Carrick-On-Suir, Co Waterford. They are milking over 160 Pedigree Registered Holstein Friesian cows in their “Curra” herd. The farm was chosen as a focus for the Summer Dairy tour as it has undergone significant expansion, building up cow numbers from 40 to 160 over the past few years.

stock, infrastructure and additional milk quota costs are included. The Hearne farm is an excellently run farm with very high milk solids per hectare being achieved from the Friesian herd at a high stocking rate. The farm currently has seven bulls either currently or previously in A.I. Kieran feels labour is a big issue on an expanding farm and in his opinion he feels he should have employed labour sooner than he did. On the day of the Dairy Summer Tour it was clear that this farm is very well run and it showed in the quality of the stock to be seen. Soil fertility has become an issue over the past two years. Kieran is of the opinion that was taking a lot more out of the soil with his high stocking rate than he was putting back into it so he has focused on that this year after soil sampling the farm in autumn 2012.

HeARne FARm Kieran took over the management of the home farm in 1993. He has built it up from a base of 28 cows, 28 hectares of land and a milk quota of 135,000 litres. By 2005 the herd consisted of 55 cows with a milking platform of 55 hectares producing 280,000 litres. On the day of the tour the farm details were; • 158 Spring Calving cows • 45 In-Calf heifers • 53 heifer calves. The Hearne herd was originally a British Friesian herd, all AI bred and Pedigree Registered with IHFA under the “Curra” prefix. When Kieran took over the herd he used Holstein sires and New Zealand Friesian. He now maostly uses Irish bred bulls both Genomic and Daughter Proven. The farm comprises 61.5 hectares in two blocks with a milking platform of 50 hectares. 42 ha are owned, 10.4 ha are adjacent to the owned block and 8.4 ha are located three miles away. Calves are reared on the farm and heifers go to a beef farmer for Summer grazing. The Stocking Rate on the milking platform is 3.3 cows/ha and overall Stocking Rate is 3 L.U./ha. Labour consists of Kieran and Ann with fulltime help brought in over the Spring and for 2-3 days/weeks in Summer, equivalent to 1.5 labour units. Contractors do all machinery work except for fertilizer spreading and topping. The herd has an average EBI of €182 and is currently ranked Number 22 among the top herds nationwide on EBI. The herd has excellent fertility results which allowed the herd to expand without buying in additional animals as the herd increased. This expansion in an “organic” way provided for a closed herd status, minimizing the threat of disease. A new 18 unit milking parlour and winter accommodation has being put in place over the last number of years. It has cost €4,000/cow to complete the expansion on the farm when all extra

One of the clear messages from the day was that cash flow budgets are an essential part of the expansion process as a lot of cash is being tied up in the farm. Replacements that would have been sold prior to expansion are being retained in the business so they are a big cash drain. Kieran feels strongly that loans should be put over at least 10 years; they can be paid quicker if you want but it takes the pressure off in the early years of growth. The farm profit has increased substantially since expansion commenced with net margin per hectare going from €690/ha (€145/ha after own labour) in 2005 before expansion begun to €1,610/ha (€1,190/ha after own labour) in 2012 when herd size was 150 cows. Kieran has a goal of selling 80,000 kg milk solids from his current farm enterprise (1,600kg MS/ha) which is an excellent target for this free draining spring producing farm.

“Culcara” hOlstEIn hErD

The “Culcara” Holstein herd of Charles McCandless & family is located near the village of Culdaff in North East Donegal. It is home for Charles and his wife Davina, their two young daughters Olivia and Hannah. Parents Winston and Evelyn are a helpful and guiding influence on a daily basis.

by Miley Gilbert, Culcara Allen Joy VG89 by Canyon-Breeze Allen and Culcara Talent Joy VG88 by Ladino Park Talent.

The farm consists of a herd of 80 pedigree Holstein cows and 350 breeding ewes. All replacements are reared on farm with surplus calved heifers and 5 -10 breeding bulls for sale each year. The management of the farm is helped greatly by the work of Tony, a full-time employee.

With the foundation of herdbook registration in place, Charles continued to develop and grow the herd using milk recording and the use of top A.I. bulls. IHFA Classifictaion service was used as a tool to refine the type of cow he wanted to work with; good udder, sound feet & legs, body capacity and strength, the ability to produce large volumes of milk. Some select purchases were made along the way at various draft sales. “Redcliffe Fatal Fame”, a daughter of Cradenhill Juror Famous, from Moralta Inspiration Fame was purchased as a calf at a sale in Athenry mart in 1999. She went on to classify EX90 2E. Her Duncan Progress daughter, Culcara Progress Fame EX91 was a stand-out favourite for Charles. She bred a number of high quality daughters, to date 3 classified EX, sired by Igniter, James and Talent with high hopes that a younger VG Duplex sister will eventually also score EX. “Mosstown James Romulet”, was another select purchase who holds special memories. She was selected on the team of Irish cows who were so successful at the European Championships in Agribex. A daughter by Canyon-Breeze Allen, Culcara Alan Romulet ET EX90 is an important, mature member of the herd. However the genetics of the

The second purchase in Canada was Walkerbrae Rudolph Lyla ET. Though her breeding line doesn’t remain in the herd she went on to produce a lifetime of 52,850 kgs milk in six lactations and classified EX.

Malin Head, Ireland’s most Northerly point is just a short car journey away. However, this extreme geographical location is far from a disadvantage, the vibrant Inishowen peninsula serving as a picturesque backdrop to bustling farm activity on a daily basis. Charles, being the 6th generation to farm the land continues the strong link between the McCandless family and the local community. His grandfather made and supplied butter for Carndonagh hospital. He also had a milk round supplying milk to locals and those living in Carndonagh town. The milking herd was 20 Shorthorn cows and typical of the era, all milking was done by hand.

Having taken over the farm Charles was keen to progress and develop the herd of cows. He had an interest in breeding and using good genetics. In 1995 the herd was graded up by Bobby Franks a IHFA Field Officer. All the animals were home-bred, starting off as ASR grades. A trip to Canada in 1997 would prove to be a Charles exhibiting at the Bailey’s Championship fruitful event for Charles, making 2 2011 with Culcara Goldwyn Juliana. purchases who would go on to leave a valuable genetic imprint on the herd, a legacy which remains to this day. “Shoremar Lee Jayne ET” sired by Caveman Red was a daughter of JBM Heavenly Joy, from the Heavenly Joy family. She went on produce 3,000 kgs Protein and classified EX92.It was with much joy and satisfaction that Charles received an IHFA Diamond award for her in 2009. Over her lifetime she produced 117,000 kgs Milk in eleven lactations. In addition, she was a very productive breeder, having left many daughters and grand-daughters in the herd. Astronomical daughter, Culcara Astro Joy EX92 3E is a particular example, along with Culcara Gilbert Joy EX91, 99

James Romulet will continue in the herd as Charles has kept a Talent son to work as a stock bull. A number of cow families graded up when the herd was registered have bred through, displaying a strong maternal line and the importance of good cow families. These include Ruth, Janice and Frieda. The Coral family (Canada) is also prominent while Culcara Shottle Mae ET EX is an interesting prospect for the future, from the Elly Mae (Lead Mae) family. Charles regularly shows at the local Carndonagh show each year. He also exhibited at the Baileys Championship in 2011 with Culcara Goldwyn Juliana. She was placed 6th that day, and was highly commended by judge Mick Gould. She is now EX93 and is carrying her 5th calf. Charles enjoying showing as it is a good way to meet like-minded breeders and to promote the herd. He would like to take part at other shows however he finds it hard to find the time. Champion of Carndonagh Show; Waikerbrae Rudolph Lyla with Judge Kenneth Boyd.

Average herd production (305 day) in 2012 was 9,853 kgs 4.10% Fat, 3.20 % Protein, 712 kgs C F+P, SCC of 99. Calving pattern is split 1/3 Autumn/Winter and 2/3 Spring. Milk is supplied to Connacht Gold on a liquid contract with a bonus paid for the Spring months. Producing high quality milk on a consistant basis is of paramount importance to Charles, his ability to do so was recognised at National level by the National Dairy Council in 2011 when Charles was selected by the judges as a Regional winner and Overall Finalist. Judges Prof. Paddy Wall and Jack Kennedy were suitably impressed and have remained in contact. Important criteria when selecting AI bulls to breed the next generation of replacements for the herd include good type, positive protein, good feet & legs, good udders, dairy strength. Protein is a particular priority given its increased importance in milk pricing emphasis by co-ops. Charles sends calved heifers to the annual Donegal Holstein Friesian breeders Heifer sale in Convoy mart each year. He is conscious of the need to produce heifers with the qualities that buyers are looking for. A key feature of the farm is the dedication to grass quality. There is a clear policy and commitment to reseeding with Charles aiming to reseed silage ground every six years on average. He strives to make the highest quality silage every year with two cuts; the 1st in the 3rd week of May and the 2nd cut in the 2nd week of July. He owns his own machinery so that grass can be mowed and picked up as soon as the conditions are right. In 2012 the silage tested at 27.3% DM, DMD of 80%, M.E of 12 and C.P. of 12%. Maximum use of grazed grass in the diet is made throughout the main grazing season. In a normal year cows are turned out to grass by day in mid April, night & day in May. Housing for the Winter begins in October. The Winter milking diet consists of a mix of grass silage, wheaten straw and a blend through the wagon. Cows are fed in the parlour according to yield. Dry cows and heifers are fed 1.5kgs straw and a dry cow blend.

Carndonagh Show with Redcliffe Fatal Fame

The most recent phase of farm development has been the build and installation of a 24/24 Fullwood parlour. This is an upgrade to the pre-existing 10 unit parlour and was completed in May. New technologies and labour saving devices have been embraced including heat detection, drafting facilities, Auto I.D. and a 10,000 litre capacity tank. The new, modern parlour is an example of Charles’s progressive approach of moving with the times. It should allow for a quicker routine and improved work/family time balance. With an eye to the future, Charles is happy to have built up the herd to the level it is at today. The avenue of expansion is being considered by many farmers with the impending abolition of milk quotas. However he is wary of the risks and debt which further expansion could bring. For the moment his chosen path is to add value to the farm business, produce a higher volume of milk solids to the highest efficiency and continue to work with cow families to further enhance the genetic merit of the herd.

Chairman’s Report by Brendan Greenan It has been another busy year for the YMA with lots of events taking place throughout the country and across Europe. All Ireland Awards The All Ireland Awards took place on the 19th of February in Portlaoise . YMA were represented in the following categories: Under 18 Stock Judging – Conor Lehane (Cork), Photography Competition – Avril Helen (Cork), Presidents Medal – Ann Neville (Limerick/ Clare), Hall Of Fame – Tommy Finlay (Laois Offaly) and Club of the Year – Cork. Congratulations to the winners of each section and all those nominated. National Calf Show On the 30th and 31st of July the National calf show took place in The Hub, Cilin Hill, Co. Kilkenny. FBD Insurance, Eurogene and Volac were on board again as sponsor and to support our young members. Our judges were Erica Rijneveld “Livestock Show Equipment” Holland who judged the clipping competition and Showmanship and Steve Miller “Shaneal Holsteins” Worcestershire, UK who judged the calf classes on the second day. A huge thanks to our judges for all their work over the two days. Again this year we welcomed our neighbours, Northern Ireland, and they didn’t go home empty handed with Mark Henry and David McAllister winning first prize in the clipping competition sponsored by David Clarke Transport. Congratulations to Caitriona and Thomas Neville (Limerick/ Clare) on claiming the Champion and Reserve Champion handler respectively, with Honourable Mention going to Paul Murphy (Cork). Coloured Breeds Champion was claimed by Mullaghlands Pride Swiss owned by Pat Gaynor, Reserve Champion went to the Lehane Family with Massorock Pwi Lilley and Honourable Mention was received by Monasteroris Songstress 5 owned by Michael Manley. Holstein Champion calf was awarded to Hallow Boss Twain owned by Mervyn and Philip Jones (Slaney), Reserve Champion went to Patrick and Edwin Gaynor (Breffni Oriel) with Swiftsheath Windbrook Mia and honourable mention awarded to Paul Flanagan (North Eastern) with Tubbertoby Chip Anna. Following the announcing of the champion calves the overall awards were presented; Kildare Holstein Friesian Breeders YMA Rerpetual Trophy for best team of handlers – Limerick/Clare, Breffni Oriel Holstein Friesian Breeders YMA Rerpetual Trophy for best team of calves – Slaney, Laois Offaly Holstein Friesian Breeders YMA Perpetual Trophy for best club stand – Cork and Cork Holstein Friesian Breeders YMA Perpetual Trophy for clipping competition – Northern Ireland. Activities and entertainment during the two days included tug-of-war, a bouncing castle and a BBQ was also run by the The Hub canteen staff which was kindly subsidised by IHFA. Many thanks to C.E. Charles Gallagher and IHFA staff members for their help on both days. We would like to thank the Jersey and Shorthorn Societies and all the clubs that took part, and for making the National finals such a success. A big thank you to the Carlow Kilkenny club for their help with preparations and dismantling.

YMA Chairman Brendan Greenan, & IHFA CE Charles Gallagher make a presentation to Andrea Murphy, YMA Co-Ordinator at the National Dairy Show We would also like to thank The Hub and staff members for their hospitality and use of the facilities. European Young Breeders Championship Two young members, Donal Bourke from Limerick/ Clare and Emma Behan from Kildare represented YMA last March, on one the biggest stages in Europe, at the Young Breeders Championships in Fribourg, Switzerland. Emma & Donal were randomly allocated a calf each on the first day of the event and were tasked with the preparation of the calves through to showmanship in the ring. Both Donal and Emma did a fantastic job and were able to compete with the very best in Europe. The judge, Neils Erik Haahr of Anderstup Herd, Denmark put all the competitors through their paces and awarded Champion Handler to Antoine Godfriaux (Belgium). Reserve place went to Alberto Llera (Spain) and Bob Lawrence (UK) claimed Honourable Mention. Congratulations to David Boyd of Glaslough Holsteins for the great job of judging the Black and White Holsteins of the show. It was a tremendous honour and achievement for David.

yOuNGMEMBERSASSOCIATION Holstein UK Calf Show Congratulations to Rickey Barrett who was judge of the Showmanship classes at Holstein UK’s All Britain Calf Show in October. Rickey was an active YMA member with many National titles to his credit. He remains a strong supporter of YMA at club and National level, always keen to encourage the next generation of YMA. European Young Breeders School A team of young members represented Ireland at the European Young Breeders School (EYBS) in Belguim competing with teams from all over Europe. Workshops were held covering aspects of; washing, making up the bed, feeding, clipping, stock judging, showmanship and marketing. The young members used their acquired skills and competed against each other. Our team consisted of Padraig Murphy (Carlow/ Kilkenny), Eimear Gaynor (Breffni Oriel), Thomas Neville and Catriona Neville (both Limerick/ Clare), Stacey O Sullivan (Cork), Colin Todd (Breffni Oriel) and Lauren Fitzmaurice (Kerry). The reports back from the team were all very positive, everyone found it to be very educational and gained a lot of experience. I would like to congratulate all the team members on their high standard of ability and respect shown and also to Lauren Fitzmaurice on coming 10th overall. Thanks to the E.Y.B.S. for inviting us and a special thanks to Kevin Behan for his work and effort with the team and all YMA activities. Field to Photo Competition A new event was introduced to the YMA activities this year, the “Field to Photo” competition. It was held on the eve of Millstreet Dairy Show, Cork. Field to Photo was created to encourage young members to expand and develop their skills. Six teams took part in the competition and were judged on clipping, washing, showmanship and photography. Our judges on the night were Michael Yates (Clipping), James Hudson (Showmanship) and Jane Steel (Photography). All were excellent in their areas of judging and I would like to extend a sincere thanks to them for doing a very thorough job. The winners on the night were Breffni Oriel, second place went to Kerry and Carlow/ Kilkenny took third place. I would like to thank all of the teams that took part on the night and hope the competition will grow over the coming years. We greatly appreciate the support from our sponsors for the event, Holstein International and the Carlow/ Kilkenny Club. Showmanship League This year the showmanship league took place once again at Millstreet National Dairy Show. Changes to the structure were made following its debut last year. A quota points system was put in place where an accumulation of twenty four points was required to qualify for the final in Millstreet. Twenty three shows throughout the country held qualifying classes for the Competition. Competitors on the day battled keenly for the top prizes with James O Sullivan (Cork) winning the Under 16 year old class and Caitriona Neville winning the under 26 year old class, successfully regaining her title from last year. Both competitors received a voucher kindly sponsored by IHFA towards clipping equipment from the Animal

Pharmacy, Kilkenny. Many thanks to our judge Izzy Whittaker, Knowlesmere Holsteins and Holstein UK journal editor and also to the two ring stewards, Leiza Montgomery and Maria Bourke for carrying out the task with much assurance. Our gratitude to Millstreet Dairy Show Committee for their encouragement and the use of their facilities in both events. I would like to extend my gratitude and appreciation to the local shows throughout the country for their continued support and hospitality during the year. I would like to thank CE Charles Gallagher, Liaison officer, Donal Carey and IHFA staff, the YMA committee members, parents & families for their help and support throughout the year. Thanks to our sponsors for their support of YMA. This support enhances YMA and the events held throughout the year.

I would like to extend a sincere thanks to Andrea for her work throughout the year, she has a great passion and enthusiasm for YMA and will be greatly missed.

Ballykennedy Pure Friesian Open Day basks in Summer Sunshine Large crowds gather in Ballingarry for showcase of Friesian breeding The O’ Connor family farm, Ballingarry, Co Limerick on a gloriously sunny Summer day was the setting for the Irish Pure Friesian Open Day on July 5th last. A large crowd in excess of 350 people were treated to a walk through the impressive “Ballykennedy” pedigree Pure Friesian herd, stockjudging competition, presentations from Teagasc & ICBF personnel, varied trade stand display and generous display of refreshments. Brothers John and Mike manage this 140 cow pedigree herd. The fact that visitors from as far away as Northern Ireland made the journey for the day bears testament to the renown of the “Ballykennedy” herd and Irish Pure Friesian breeding. Limerick based Roches Feeds were sponsors of the day. Other trade stand holders included; Animax, ABS, Bova AI, Dairymaster, Eurogene, Farm Relief Services, Galway Homeopathics, Munster AI.

Sponsors join with IHFA President John O’Flynn, CE Charles Gallagher and hosts John, Mike (Snr), Mike (Jnr) at the launch on the farm

Among the large crowd was IHFA President John O’ Flynn and his wife Chrissie and members of the local and national farming press.

John’s dedication commercial herds. to better breeding has progressed the herd over the years. The foundation for the current Ballykennedy herd was laid in the purchase of the “Leitrimeast” herd and some exceptional cows from the “Kilsunny” herd near Dovea. Further interesting additions to the herd include 4 females from the recently dispersed “Blackisle” herd in Scotland, stockbulls from the” Langley” herd near London and “Castledale” herd in Co. Down. The “Lyselle” family has also been added through embryo work which added a lot to the herd in terms of udder quality and milk solids. Older Friesian bloodlines have been followed where possible to bring dairyness and frame to the “Ballykennedy” herd. Progress in the performance of the herd has been aided by the adoption of milk recording, A.I., pedigree registration and herd classification service from IHFA. A recent classification inspec-

Master Judge for the Open Day Stockjudging competition was Bill Foster, Genus ABS. The crowd listened eagerly as Bill outlined his placings and reason giving in the Heifer, Junior Cow and Senior Cow classes. Bill complimented the quality of the animals in the stockjudging and remarked that it was a tremendous display of quality Friesian breeding. He summarised the three groups as “Promising” Heifers, “Developing” Junior Cows and “Mature” Senior Cows. Bill noted that these and the rest of the Ballykennedy herd were a tremendous exhibition of Irish Pure Friesian breeding. John followed up by outlining the breeding and cow family background of each animal with concise and detailed information. 125

irish pure friesian Francis Fitzgerald, Secretary of the Pure Friesian club thanked the O’Connor family for hosting the Open Day. He acknowledged the quality of the herd and commented that the family had worked extremely hard in getting the herd to its current level. Pat Donnellon, ICBF, used examples from the ICBF database to outline average breed statistics highlighting clear fertility and longevity benefits conferred by Friesian sires. Local Teagasc Newcastlewest advisor Tom O’ Connor spoke about the performance of the herd in terms of milk solids production, calving performance, grass growth and reseeding. He commended the tremendous fertility performance of the herd, evidenced in the fact that 85% of the herd calved in a 6 week period in 2013. Martin Crowe, Chairman, thanked the O’ Connor family on behalf of the Irish Pure Friesian club. He recounted that the family have always held a special affinity for Friesian breeding ever since since Mike Senior established a milking herd in 1983. Martin thanked Charles Gallagher, C.E. and the staff in IHFA for their help in organising such a successful day. The Chairman also thanked Master Judge Bill Foster, and commented that Bill is a dedicated exponent for Friesian breeding.

Charles Gallagher, C.E. thanked the O’ Connor family for being wonderful hosts of the event. He thanked the Pure Friesian and local Limerick/Clare clubs for their help in the lead-up to and on the day. He acknowledged the contribution made by Dermot Cahill, who was present on the day, who maintained the pure Friesian genetics amidst the trend of the time when many breeders were adopting Holstein breeding. Charles noted that the Irish Pure Friesian was very much an important element within IHFA as the Black & White breed offers wide genetic diversity. He remarked that the introduction of calf values into the EBI formula would be a benefit to Friesians in reflecting the renowned easy care, dual purpose benefits of the breed.

irish pure friesian aGM 2013

Irish Pure Friesian Club AGM 2013 Results announced at Irish Pure Friesian AGM in the Horse & Jockey Hotel on the 12th November. The Irish Pure Friesian Club AGM was held on November 12th last in the Horse & Jockey hotel, Co Tipperary. Guest speakers on the night were IHFA C.E. Charles Gallagher, Robert Helen, N.C.B.C. George Ramsbottom, Teagasc, Ross Evans and Pat Donnellan ICBF. Irish Pure Friesian Club Chairman Martin Crowe introduced the invited speakers and chaired a Question & Answer session afterwards. Charles Gallagher presented an overview of the developments of the breed since the introduction of Friesian genetics into Ireland. He outlined the unique characteristics and key strengths of Friesians, the excellent fertility and longevity. With a view to the proposed base change to occur in 2014 the potential challenges to Friesian AI sires and the breed at large were highlighted. Charles thanked the O’Connor family, Ballingarry, Co Limerick for hosting an excellent Open Day for the Pure Friesian Club in July. The event had been a resounding success as a showcase for Friesian breeding. George Ramsbottom is a Dairy specialist with Teagasc, based at Oak Park, Co Carlow. In his presentation he described the phenotype of the “Base Cow” which is used as the reference is all cow & bull evaluations. He also spoke about the importance of calving date and lactation length on farm profit. Late calving cows in a herd can have a draining effect on farm profit as the bulk of their diet is not met by peak grass growth. Lactation length can be skewed by late calving cows as their opportunity to complete a 305 day lactation is compromised. Robert Helen, sire analyst with Munster AI/NCBC spoke about the selection of Friesian sires for purchase into its Friesian stud. A file of all births is routinely sent from ICBF every week. Based on the data in this file, high EBI sires are identified. A refined search based on Breed Fraction percentage is then made, all bulls must be a minimum of 87.5% Friesian. Further screening is then done, based on the production records and conformation of the Dam, cow family. Pat Donnellan gave an overview of the performance of Pure Friesian sires on the ICBF Active Bull List. The key strength of the Friesian breed, Fertility and Longevity are reflected in the proofs of Friesian AI sires. The number of Friesian sires with genomic breeding values has also increased. From a low starting point when Genomic evaluations were first published the breed has now an enhanced reference population.this has been helped by the IHFA’s genomic testing as part of pedigree registration for all males introduced in February of this year. Ross Evans, ICBF Geneticist, gave a presentation on upcoming developments in dairy genetic evaluations. The move to a Test-Day model for analysis of milk recording data and the roll-out of a updated genetic base are likely to occur in 2014. The Questions from the floor indicated that Pure Friesian Breeders although happy with expansion of numbers expect big challenges to the breed with the removal of quotas. Charles Gallagher, C.E. advised that top cow families need to be flushed and genomically tested to advance the potential of the breed. A minutes silence was held in memory of Dermot Cahill, RIP, former manager of Dovea Genetics and dedicated exponent of the Friesian breed. The following officers were elected for the upcoming year; Chairman Martin Crowe, Doon, Co Limerick Secretary Francis Fitzgerald, Kilfinny, Adare, Co Limerick Treasurer Conor O’ Leary, Donoghmore, Co Cork PRO Bill O’ Keeffe, Churchclara, Co Kilkenny 129 President Michael Dempsey
