THE DOMINANCE CONTINUED IN 2017
Dairy judging is strong at the University of Minnesota,
so strong that its teams have placed first overall in six of the nine major contests in 2015, 2016 and 2017 held at: the All-American Dairy Show (Harrisburg, PA), the North American International Livestock Exposition (Louisville, KY), and World Dairy Expo (Madison, WI). Furthermore, over the past 8 years in these 3 contests, the University of Minnesota has placed 1st overall in 12 of the 24 contests. No other university comes close to this incredible record of success. If you’re considering a career in dairy, consider the U of M. In addition to our
highly successful judging teams, you can be part of the Gopher Dairy Club, where more than 100 student members gain experience and industry contacts through activities like an all-expense-paid 10-day trip to California in January for seniors. Both inside and outside the classroom, our dairy professors make teaching and working with students their top priority. Learn more today at ansci.umn.edu

Convention ticket sales have opened From Corey Geiger, Convention Co-chair
DEAR HOLSTEIN ENTHUSIASTS:
Hotel during their day of Dairy Jeopardy, Prepared Public Speaking, and many more Monday events.
We are pleased to announce tickets sales have opened for the 2019 National Holstein Convention headquartered at the Red Lion Paper Valley Hotel. There are a number of exciting events to choose from during the week. Choose early, however, as a number of events have limited ticket sales. Go to www.2019holsteinconventionwi.com to complete your online ticket order. Junior Welcome and Sundae Bar, Sunday, June 23 Iconic Culver’s frozen custard, with all the fixings, will anchor an evening filled with mixer games and learning how to improve your leadership game. Coach Steve Jones will challenge juniors to become influential leaders and share how to grow a winning culture. This high school teacher and head football coach should know as his Kimberly Papermaker football team has compiled a 1006 record that included five straight consecutive Division 1 Wisconsin Championships. Topping the event off will be the annual state-by-state exchange where juniors bring their favorite items from their home state to share with others. Pre-Convention Farm Tours, Monday, June 24 Join us on this pre-convention tour to witness the diversity of Wisconsin dairy farms. From a robot dairy to a conventional tiestall barn and a showplace, you will see legendary Holsteins at each stop. We will end the day with a visit to one of the Midwest’s largest dairies which will demonstrate how “America’s Dairyland” has it all when visiting Jenlar Holsteins, Forest Ridge Holsteins, Budjon Farms and Rosendale Dairy. Two price options exist: $40 for the meal and bus ride, or $20 for the meal only. Fox River Boat Cruise and Historic Home Tour, Monday, June 24 This river cruise is a chartered event limited to 70 guests. The historic Fox River and the bay of Green Bay were home to the oldest European settlements on the entire Great Lakes established by French explorers. This exclusive river cruise will explore natural shore lines, landscapes, and the historic homes along the Fox River. One such home is the Hazelwood Historic House. Placed on the National Register of Historic places by the U.S. Department of Interior in 1964, guests will go on a guided tour of this exquisite property. Lunch will be at Fratellos Riverfront Restaurant with breathtaking views of the Fox River. Junior and Adult Luncheon, Monday, June 24 Juniors and adults can refuel with a splendid pasta bar at the Red Lion Pre-Convention Farm Tours

Attendees can choose from go-karts, 18-hole mini-golf, batting cages, laser tag, inflatables, a mini bowling alley, and so much more. There will be a tailgate-style picnic with burgers, brats and all the fixings. A short tenminute ride via bus from the hotel, this event is a great way to conclude Monday’s fun-filled day. Host Farm Tours, Tuesday, June 25 The Host Day tours focus on modern breeding operations. Learn from four dairies that are using all the tools to breed and market world-class genetics. Capping it off, we will have lunch at the new $13-million Farm Wisconsin Discovery Center, which truly makes this a must attend event. Staggered start tour times will allow an enhanced viewing experience on the tours of MilkSource Genetics, Synergy Dairy, Siemers Holstein and Hilrose Dairy, LLC. Goats and Glass Tour, Tuesday, June 25 LaClare Farms sets the standard for goat milk dairy products, with a full line of award winning specialty and artisan cheeses that will accompany lunch. Among the most modern goat dairies in the world, goats are milked in a double 24 parlor and housed in a freestall barn with outdoor access to paddocks of fresh grass. The Bergstrom-Mahler Museum of Glass is revered among glass communities worldwide featuring over 3,500 objects. The BergstromMahler staff will give guests a guided tour of this unique collection that has accreditations from the Art Alliance for Contemporary Glass, the Glass Art Society, and the Paperweight Collector’s Association. Farm Wisconsin and NEW Zoo, Tuesday, June 25 Go beyond the barnyard at the Farm Wisconsin Discovery Center. This $13-million facility and interactive exhibits will entertain attendees about Wisconsin’s diverse agricultural industry. Juniors and adults alike can drive the combine simulator and learn to balance farming and the environment with its kinetic sand water ways exhibit. After lunch at the Discovery Center, we head to the NEW Zoo at Green Bay. The Insider’s Encounter at the NEW Zoo will take us behind the scenes to see how animals’ nutrition needs are met and how veterinarians provide care for the wildlife. Farm and Float Tour, Tuesday, June 25 Looking for a mix of farm and fun? Come enjoy the day at Brooks Farms Host Day Farm tours
and the beautiful Little Wolf River for an afternoon of tubing fun. Brooks Farms is a recently expanded 700-cow facility. Highlights include a new double-16 herringbone parlor, automatic feed pusher, calf-feeding system and a focus on growing their Registered Holstein operation. From there, you will head to Little Wolf River to take in a fun and relaxing river trip through a mix of mild rapids along with quiet drifting areas. The tour will wrap up with a picnic lunch at the campground, complete with a campfire and s’mores. Family Night near Lambeau Field, Tuesday, June 25 With Legendairy Lambeau Field in full view, convention goers will enjoy a meal in true Wisconsin fashion — a hog roast with tenderloin steak sandwiches will anchor the dinner that will include all of Wisconsin’s favorite foods. A fullservice bar is included with the ticket purchase so convention goers can enjoy the Badger State’s famed old fashioned cocktails, Wisconsin-made wine or the beverage that made nearby Milwaukee famous, beer. Juniors and adults alike can play tailgate games or venture to the Titletown District just a short walk away with its loads of free games and playground equipment. Lambeau Field Tours can be purchased for an additional $12, but order tour tickets fast as the Lambeau staff can only handle the first 350 registrants. Botanical Gardens and Shopping Extravaganza, Wednesday, June 26 While at the Green Bay Botanical Gardens, guests will enjoy an herbal adventure that includes tastes and treats, remedies and recipes. As part of the adventure, guests will take home an herbal infused honey or scrub.

Moyer Wins Michigan Holstein Association Outstanding Young Breeder Award
By Carla Wardin Brent Moyer is the 2019 winner of the Michigan Holstein Association (MHA) Outstanding Young Breeder award. When he was nine years old, Moyer fell in love with dairy cows on his uncle’s farm. In 2008, he moved to his current location and joined Paramount Enterprises, LLC., with his partner Brent Robinson. They now have 1800 cows and 1400 younger head. The 90 percent registered herd has a rolling average of 26,134 pounds of milk, 1,049 pounds of fat and 818 pounds of protein. He has 243 cows that have given over 100,000 pounds in their lifetime, with the highest at 285,655 lifetime pounds in her ninth lactation. In the last six years he’s bred five Excellent and 48 Very Good cows, and he developed four Excellent and 27 Very Good cows. The highest is scored 93 points. He has also bred or developed numerous All-American nominations. Out of all of his titles, the Outstanding Young Breeder award stands out. “This award holds a lot of meaning to me,” Moyer said. “I’m humbled, because it’s a reflection of how my peers feel about our farm. I certainly wasn’t expecting it.” Moyer has been developing his Holstein herd for a number of years. Prior to 2006, he was working as a herd manager at a dairy and had his own herd in a tie stall barn. Some of his focus was on show types. When he began farming with Brent Robinson, they started discussing why registered cows were important.
“We figured we’re going to be doing this for a long time, so we didn’t want to look at ugly cows... If you don’t enjoy what you’re looking at, it’s hard to enjoy what you’re doing.” “My thought was that you can base an entire herd off three or four cow families. I focused on what I want in a cow, which is eye appeal, a nice front end, a good udder, and what I call natural dairy strength. I like ones that look like they could go in the show ring, but instead of being 65 inches tall, are 60-62 inches. Great big cows don’t work,” he said. Moyer said since neither he nor Robinson came from a farming family that was handing anything down, they milked any cows they could to get started. After awhile, though, that model wasn’t working for them. “We figured we’re going to be doing this for a long time, so we didn’t want to look at ugly cows,” Moyer said. 22 - MIDWEST HOLSTEINS, Spring 2019
MHA President Tim Baker (left) presents Brent Moyer with the Outstanding Young Breeder Award at the 2019 MHA annual meeting held in Frankenmuth, Michigan.
To positively develop the herd, they implemented an SCR system, and Moyer took on the breeding responsibilities himself. “We focused on higher type bulls and higher component bulls. Since we started, we have evolved tremendously. I would say it’s a completely different herd,” he said. “I’m working to produce the kind of cows that best fit our environment.” Like all Michigan dairies, Moyer has to adapt his plans to the changing economy. Paramount has also begun partnering with Goma Dairy, owned by Gert and Gertie Van Den Goor, and the blending of the farms, called Green Point Dairy, LLC., is allowing for even more efficiencies. “First, we’re making sure each facility has the proper focus and the right people are in the right places. Second, if we have the money, we buy something, but we’re not financing everything,” he said. “We try to remain as efficient as possible and do the best we can without doing any extra spending.” In 2019, Moyer plans on continuing his breeding program and building a high-quality herd. “Our plan moving forward is to keep the best of our cows at our dairy,” Moyer said. “If we can take the best cows and get daughters out of them, that’s really the kind of cows we want. We’d explore doing a little bit extra, like embryo transfer, with those 100-150 cows to get more that fit the mold.” He concluded, “If you don’t enjoy what you’re looking at, it’s hard to enjoy what you’re doing.”

His current BAA is 111.2 on 69 cows, ranking them 54th overall on the top 200 and 9th for their herd size.

Each and every cow has a special Holstein President Ed Smith pictured with his daughters Sarah Butler and Jackie Jansen and wife Karen place in his heart, and this love has extended down to his daughters Christie, Jackie and Sarah.
JUNIOR BREEDER AWARD
Her love of the Holstein cow and his desire to follow in his father and grandfather’s footsteps of being a dairy farmer met while they were active in the Illini Dairy Club at the University of Illinois. After graduating with degrees in Animal Science (Dairy) in the spring of 2005, they were joined in marriage in the fall of 2005 and began the journey of being Registered Holstein breeders and dairy farmers. After a year of dairy farming with his parents, the decision was made to join her parents at R-Homestead Holsteins. This year’s recipients of the Illinois Holstein Junior Breeder Award are Marc and Lora Hilgendorf of Nokomis. Marc and Lora’s desire to breed and be active in the dairy industry and especially in developing a top registered herd began with a working relationship at R-Homestead and today, they are making most of the management and breeding decisions. The herd has maintained a DHIR lactation average of over 24,000m 800f and 720p. They recently received a BAA of 109 with 10 EX Marc and Lora Hilgendorf were presented with the cows. A highlight of this past year was having a homebred cow receive EX-93 at 4-04! 2018 Illinois Holstein Junior Breeder Award from David Showing cattle has been a strong desire in both Marc and Lora. Although having never shown Butler and Illinois Holstein President Ed Smith cattle as a “youngster,” Marc caught the “bug” from Lora and enjoys being in the show ring.

MIDWEST HOLSTEINS
Michigan Holstein Association Cheese Plant Slated for 2020 By Carla Wardin ST JOHNS – In August 2018, Glanbia Nutritionals, Dairy Farmers of America, and Select Milk Producers Inc. announced plans to build a cheese plant in St Johns, Michigan. The $440 million production facility project will reportedly process 8 million pounds of milk a day and employ 250 people. The companies also announced that Proliant Dairy Ingredients will process whey in an $85 million adjoining building, which will create 38 jobs. The St Johns project is on track to be the largest food-processing plant in mid-Michigan. According to Glanbia, St Johns was chosen due to its proximity to milk supply, as well as transportation and business environment reasons. The news comes during a long-term dip in milk prices for Michigan farmers. Kristi Keilen milks 450 cows at K & K Dairy Farms in Westphalia, just 17 miles from the plant’s site. She’s president of the Clinton County Farm Bureau and a member of DFA. “I’m excited about the plant and
the opportunities it will bring for not only Michigan dairy farmers, but also the community,” said Keilen. “I foresee the biggest benefit being the decreases in transportation costs to get the product to a processing facility. I also think Glanbia is an excellent company, and hopefully they will be able to help market the product to sell more volume of it for dairy farmers.” Though Clinton County has an unemployment rate of 2.6%, even lower than the national 3.9%, the community is warmly welcoming the additional job opportunities. St Johns Mayor Eric Hufnagel is looking forward to the plant completion. “The obvious way the new plant will be benefiting the St Johns community will be the jobs it provides,” he said. “Whenever you have new jobs, the benefits also spill over into the community, whether it be more customers at local restaurants or more work boots sold at local stores. This also translates into a very accessible and cost-effective milk buyer for dairy farmers not only in St Johns, but communities around the entire state.” Dairy farmers and job seekers hope to
benefit from the cheese plant, but the state’s ag community in general is welcoming the business. “The size of this plant is phenomenal,” said Michigan Farm Bureau President Carl Bednarski. “It’s huge that this much product is not going to be shipped out of state. For a dairy farmer there is no downside.” Dairy Farmers of America (DFA) region manager Chuck Courtade foresees his members getting an improved return, but the positives won’t stop there. “There will be a benefit to all the producers in the state,” he said. “Of course, with our members, and Select and Glanbia, but it will also tighten up the milk market for everyone, keep more milk in Michigan, reduce hauling costs, and reduce market adjustment.” He continued, “It’s hard to see the scope of it from the road, but we’ve been seeing great drone pictures and video of the development. When you see the size of it, you understand why it’s going to take this long to build.” The St Johns plant is slated to open in 2020.
