fficial animal identification has been a hot topic over the past several months, with many states updating their ID rules for interstate movement, and World Dairy Expo requiring animals to have an officially-recognized ID tag in their ears. Holstein Association USA is pleased to expand our ear tag line-up to include visual (non-electronic) 840 official tags, providing several options to meet official ID requirements. 3URJUDP %DVLFV
USDA implemented the Animal Disease Traceability (ADT) rule earlier this year, which specifies that cattle travelling across state borders must have an official tag in their ear. After March 2014, tags being sold as official ADT tags must be either 840 tags, which will be offered by Holstein USA, or USDA metal tags. At that point, tag distributors will no longer be able to sell American ID tags as official ID, those with an eight-digit number, such as what Holstein USA currently offers.
Junior
Producers have until March 2015 to use up their remaining inventory of American ID tags, including current non-840 Holstein tags. After that point, all tags being applied to animals must be the official tags bearing either 840 or the USDA metal tag number series. Animals tagged before March 2015 with an older-style number will not need to be retagged; those tags will be grandfathered in as official. We recommend that producers begin the transition to official 840 tags after using up current tag inventories, to ensure compliance well before the March 2015 deadline. While the requirement for interstate movement is just one official 840 tag, Holstein USA ID rules still require two ear tags, one in each ear, for Tag ID. The first inventory tag should be one of the official 840 tags; any supplemental tag you receive, such as a custom tag for registration, will have the matching 840 number printed on it, but not the other official USDA logos or statements. If you are currently using the 840 RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) button tag, you are already compliant and can continue tagging your animals as you have been. Note that the RFID button is different from a standard non-840 mini-round tag; RFID buttons are thicker, and all white with a black center (no other color options are available). At this time, 7DJ 2IÂżFLDO

there is no option for a non-RFID RFID 840 Button Tag Large or Maxi tag (may be a custom tag) official 840 mini-round tag. The chart, Visual 840 Junior Tag Large or Maxi tag (may be a custom tag) right, shows the combinations that Mini-round, Junior, Large or Maxi tag will ensure compliance with both state Visual 840 Large or Maxi Tag (may be a custom tag) ID regulations and Holstein Tag ID.

While the physical attributes of the tags are the same in the size, tagger used and color options, space on the tags is limited because of information required by USDA. Large and Maxi official 840 tags are not able to have custom information printed on them; however, you can continue to order a custom tag (as a second tag to meet Tag ID requirements) through EASY ID as normal. How Do I Make the Switch?
Holstein USA customer service will be happy to help you make the switch to official 840 tags. Before calling to place an order, you must have an official Premises ID Number for your farm. If you need to obtain a Premises ID, please contact your state Department of Agriculture to register for one. Next, decide which size and color option you would like and the series of herd management numbers you need. When you call to order your next series of tags, simply inform the customer service representative that you would like to switch to official 840 tags. With questions or for more information, please contact us at 800.952.5200.

FROM THE PRESIDENT While thinking about what to write for the Spring Herald, I can’t help but look forward to what springtime brings. The season brings new EHJLQQLQJV WKH ÀHOGV WKDW QHHG WR EH ZRUNHG and the crops that need to be planted. This time of year also brings lots of cattle sales, usually 2 or 3 every weekend all across the country. Our state has a few that are spaced out over the 3 months. There is the 40th Clinton County Classic March 29, PDCA Calf Sale April 12, and then Northwest Spring Sizzler May 16. All these spring time sales also bring optimism of possibly the next great show prospect for many, for others it is the time WR ÀOO HPSW\ VWDOOV LQ WKH EDUQV RU SHUKDSV WR improve the quality of ones herd. In addition to spring sales, there should EH OHVV VQRZ ÀOOHG VXE ]HUR GD\V 7KLV LV something that I’m sure we all have lived through long enough, especially looking back at this winter! This past winter has been extremely hard for all the people involved with livestock. The large amounts of snow that has landed throughout the state, and the winds that blew it in about 8 different directions, made chore time rough on everyone day in and day out. In January, we had our annual committee meetings followed by our board meeting. Because of the nasty weather, I was unable to attend the committee meetings, but from
what I’ve been told, there was a great turnout this year, with great discussion. A new format was utilized, having the planning meeting for FRPPLWWHH FKDLUV ÀUVW IROORZHG E\ WKH EUHDNRXW sessions. It appeared that this change was well received by most. I would like to thank my Vice President Jason Oertel for handling everything and making all these things go smoothly! I would also like thank all that attended these meetings considering all the bad weather we had! We had a nice attendance at the board meeting the next day, but didn’t have many of the committee chairs present to give their reports. Next year it was discussed to have the committee meetings and the board meeting the same day so that possibly more chairmen will be present to go over the committee report. The board feels with the upcoming National Convention in 2015, it is important for all the activities of the state to be thoroughly discussed and handled accordingly. Hopefully by the time you are reading this some of the piles of snow and other things that have accumulated around the farms are starting to disappear. I look forward to seeing everybody at the different spring sales. I also wish everyone a safe and warm spring.
Brian Olbrich
ILLINOIS CHAMPIONSHIP HOLSTEIN SHOW July 16 - July 18, 2014 Logan County Fairgrounds, Lincoln Cattle may arrive on Tuesday, July 15, and must exit the fairgrounds immediately following the conclusion of the show on Friday. Junior Show Judge will be announced on the IHA website when available
DUTCHESS DOMAIN Greetings, It’s hard to believe that spring is almost here as there is still a couple feet of snow on the ground. The junior’s just held their annual Spring Thing. There was a great turnout and a ton of fun. I would like to thank Emily Irwin again for coordinating everything. While at Spring Thing the juniors competed in quiz bowl, jeopardy, speech and poster contests for their chance to go to National Convention which will be held in Dubuque, Iowa this summer. I would like to encourage any junior who has not attended to do so next year. Spring Thing is a great way to get involved as well as meet other juniors. The full results of the competitions from Spring Thing can be found on the Illinois Holstein website. Hopefully it’s not too long until we start seeing warmer weather!

ILLINOIS HOLSTEIN COMMITTEE MEETINGS January 9, 2014 · Bloomington, Ill. The January 10, 2014 meeting of the Illinois Holstein Association Board of Directors was called to order at 9:25 a.m. Seventeen directors and two staff were present. Minutes from the December meeting were handed out for review. Dale Drendel made a motion to approve the minutes as printed. The motion was seconded by Jason Oertel and approved by the Board. The Treasurer’s Report was given by Kevin Wendling on behalf of Carol Jones. Everyone reviewed the audit and discussion took place about how to put a check-and-balance into place like what was recommended by the DXGLWLQJ ÀUP -DVRQ 2HUWHO PRYHG WR DFFHSW the Treasurer’s Report as presented, which was seconded by Gary Janssen and the motion carried. Jason Oertel then moved to give the Executive Committee the authority to work with the Juniors, Futurity and National Convention Committees on a system of FKHFNV DQG EDODQFHV RI ÀQDQFLDO UHFRUGV 7KLV motion was seconded by Boyd Schaufelberger. A motion was then made by Joann Hartman to amend the original motion by adding the words “for clarity” at the end. The motion to amend was seconded by Kevin Wendling. The motion and amendment both passed. The Editor’s Report was given by Julie $VKWRQ ZKR VDLG WKH +HUDOG LV VKRZLQJ D SURÀW for the Fiscal Year at the current time, but could drop into the negative after the Spring edition. The next edition of the Midwest issue (spring) will allow each state two pages of editorial and Julie will use our two pages to feature the Kaskaskia judging team and our Junior and Senior Breeder award winners. The summer issue will also be a Midwest issue and this year’s will be used as the 2014 National Convention souvenir booklet so extra copies will be printed and the cost of advertising will be more expensive. If this works for Iowa’s National Convention, we may do the same in 2015 when we host the National Convention. Extension will host the Dairy Summits later this month at the traditional three locations throughout the state. Holstein USA Report - Tim Ewing reminded us regional meetings will not be held this year but they will have one in Brattleboro and put it on the internet for people to watch at their convenience. Holstein USA took over handling registrations for the Red & White Association DW WKH ÀUVW RI WKH \HDU VR \RX RQO\ KDYH WR ÀOO out one form now. Boyd Schaufelberger spoke about our membership dropping below the cut-off for 4 delegates – we missed the cut by only Illinois Holstein Herald
two members and we will work to compare membership lists with national and try to recruit more members at the national level to get our number back up for the 2015 convention. Boyd will serve on the Genetic Advancement committee and asked for input from the breeders on the board to help him serve us well on that committee. Boyd’s atlarge position on the Holstein USA Board will be open for new candidates at this National Convention in Dubuque. New Business We will continue to encourage Committee Chairs to return for the Board of Directors meeting to present their report in person. We will consider re-arranging the schedule so the Board meeting takes place in the afternoon following the Committee meetings in the future to make it easier for Committee Chairs to participate. Dutchess and Little Miss Holstein Chairman: Lori Lyons The 2014 Dutchess/Little Miss Holstein contest will be held the Wednesday before State Show in the show ring. The deadline to enter the competition will be July 1st. Discussion took place about asking each club to pay a $25 entry fee per contestant from their club. The Committee would like to solicit sponsorship from Country Companies, with assistance from the Show Committee/Chairs if necessary. Membership dues must be paid for each contestant before the competition. The 2014 Dutchess will be the Dutchess during the 2015 National Convention. The Committee will schedule the Little Miss Holstein girls to hand out ribbons on a rotational basis so they can get rest periods during the show and there aren’t too many in the show ring at the same time. Discussion took place
about having generic “Contestant” sashes but the Committee still wants to provide personalized sashes for the contestants. There are no proposed rule or program changes for the coming year. The rules need to be XSGDWHG LQ WKH VKRZ EURFKXUH WR UHÁHFW WKH changes made in 2013. The Committee will prepare a “handbook” to detail the duties and responsibilities of the contestants which will be emailed to the contestants and explain dress code, expectations of participating in both Junior and Open Shows and other activities. Budget: -$1,100 ($550 for scholarship and travel, $300 for State Show hotels and $250 remaining for other necessities) Discussion among the Board of Directors regarding the Dutchess Committee report took place. The Little Miss Competition was discussed in regards to past years there have been multiple contestants and all were selected as “winners” but this year only one winner was chosen from the group. The Board would like the Committee Chairman to explain to the judges that all Little Miss contestants should be considered winners. The Board also does not want to re-institute the club fee for Dutchess candidates as a way to fund the event. Boyd Schaufelberger moved to approve the report but adds that the Committee Chairman should be present both show days to supervise the contestants handing out ribbons and the Senior Dutchess contestants should be strongly encouraged to be present both days also. The motion was seconded by Kevin Wendling and the motion carried. Futurity Chairman: Wendy Erbsen The Futurity Show takes place at the State Championship Open Show, deadlines are July 1 IRU WZR \HDU ROG DQG ÀYH \HDU ROG UHQHZDO DQG November 1 is the deadline for new futurity

Joann made a motion that Wendy investigate accepting futurity payments online and the motion was seconded by Mike Netemeyer, motion carried. The Board of Directors approved the Futurity Committee Report by motion from Mike Netemeyer, seconded by Jason Oertel and unanimous vote. Governmental Affairs Chairman: Boyd Schaufelberger IHA should maintain a relationship with IMPA and IL LDG to stay abreast of issues and offer support for legislative concerns. The Association should offer a letter of support for developing a plan to support/help farmers to dispose of dead animals. Holstein USA recommends 840 numbers on all new orders – no mandatory ID now and each state is responsible for their own program. Discussion among the Board of Directors took place about different disposal options around the state for dead animals and how some can be expensive and unreliable. Jason Oertel moved to appoint Boyd Schaufelberger to work with Tina Yagow and Brian Olbrich on writing a letter to the state veterinarian asking them to support farmers in their disposal of dead animals and approve the Governmental Affairs Committee report. The motion was seconded by Ron Schaufelberger and the motion carried. Membership Chairman: Jason Oertel Membership for both Juniors and Seniors increased from 2012 to 2013, back up to basically the same level as 2011. Due to that success, we want to stick with the same dates for mailing the forms, reminding people by email and reminding by letter. Secretary Tina Yagow is working on cross-referencing the list RI PHPEHUV IURP WKH 1DWLRQDO RIÀFH ZLWK our state membership to see if there are any potential prospects from that list. We will also work on increasing our National Membership numbers to regain the National delegate we lost for 2014. At this point the committee does not recommend taking membership payments online but it will be re-considered next year. Brian Wesemann moved to add an option on the membership form to have the Holstein Herald sent digitally via email link and it was seconded by Jennifer Wakeley, motion carried. Discussion also took place about putting a notice on the membership form for photo consent and more exploration needs to be done. Page 8
Budget: $20,000 income Discussion took place and Julie Ashton said she will talk to Holstein USA about how they handle photo consent. We also talked about putting a donation/pledge box for National Convention. Dale Drendel moved to add a National Convention Contribution request with check boxes on the membership form in the suggested amounts of $25, $50, $100 and “otherâ€? for this year and next. The motion was seconded by Joann Hartman and was passed by the group. Dale also moved to accept the committee report, Kevin Wendling seconded and the motion carried. Planning and Evaluation Chairman: Gary Janssen This year the Planning and Evaluation Committee met before the other committee meetings in order to give Chairmen ideas of what to discuss with their committees. Some good suggestions came out of the planning meeting for each committee. Members attending seemed to like this format and hope it will be this way in the future. Dale Drendel moved to accept the committee report, seconded by Ron Schaufelberger, motion carried. PDCA Calf Sale Chairman: Marc Hilgendorf; Co-Chairman: Gene McCoy The 2014 PDCA Calf Sale will be held April 12th at the Champaign County Fairgrounds, with a 12:30 pm start time. Entries are due by February 5th to be put in the Holstein Herald and March 6th for the catalog and Cattle Connection. They are looking for 40 suggested show-aged Holstein calves. Harvey Harpstrite moved to accept the committee report. Joann Hartman seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Public Relations Chairmen: Jennifer Wakeley (Publications & Promotions) & Stephanie Aves (Website) Publications/Promotions: Brian Wesemann made a motion to retire the display board due to damage.

Discussion took place about the 2015 State Show in regards to the close timing to National Convention being hosted in Illinois and Jason Oertel recommended the State Show Committee Chairmen meet with the Illinois State Fair Dairy Superintendent, Sue Ann Claudon, to work out the logistics of what they are offering for us to have our State Show there in 2015. This meeting will need to take place by May to be able to present the ÀQGLQJV DW WKH -XQH ,+$ %RDUG 0HHWLQJ IRU D decision at that time. If our numbers of cattle entered at the State Show that year are down, we will renegotiate with Lincoln since we might not need one barn and the price should go down by $1,000. The overall consensus was that we will probably remain with the same date range and location for 2015, but we are open to the information from the State Fair. The Committee Chairmen will brainstorm ideas for handling payments for the straw bales as last year not all of the bales were paid for.

KASKASKIA COLLEGE SPOTLIGHT We've been very fortunate to have some success, but it stems from two critical things... youth who challenge themselves to do great things and producers who are willing to support us through workouts, etc. I want to thank all the producers who've been so willing to take time from their busy days to have us out for workouts and encouraging our students and program. It is an awesome experience for them to see the farms that they get to see, and more importantly meet the great people that make up the Dairy Industry. In addition, I owe a great debt of gratitude to David Fischer and Gene McCoy. They have been super mentors to me as a coach, and tremendous help in the development of our program. They've been willing to share advice on coaching, preparation, workout time, guidance, and encouragement to the youth and myself. There's no question, that without them the KC Dairy Judging team would not
our trip. We have received tremendous support throughout the year from many members of the association. I would like to thank everyone involved with the Illinois Holstein Association that has helped us out in any way. Finally, I would like to thank my family for being very supportive of my judging and all the time off I need in order to judge. I would like to say a special thanks to my uncles and grandpa for picking up my slack when I am gone on judging trips. Also thank you to my grandma for not complaining about all my extra laundry she does for me after judging trips. Without the support and help from my family I would have never been able to achieve any of the many awards I have received. Dylan Reed, Member of the National Grand Champion, Postsecondary Judging Team __________________________________ I would like to thank Aaron Heinzmann for believing in me and our KC team. Bringing us together and guiding us along the way; it was a challenging job at times yet you did it with a smile. I would like to thank my family, especially mom and dad, without them I wouldn’t have my passion for the dairy industry. I would also like to say thank you to the Illinois Holstein Association for supporting our team. Thanks!

He gives up many of his weekends to take us to judging practices and spends many nights listening to our reasons and helps us get better. Without his dedication and help none of this would be possible. We may give him a hard time but he has truly helped us reach our full potential and achieve so much, and for that Aaron I would like to say thank you!

The University of
WISCONSIN MADISON Dairy Science Student Profile Name: Breinne Hendrickson Hometown: Belleville, WI High School: Belleville High School Class Size: 72 Farm: Jeffrey-Way Holsteins Major: Dairy Science and Life Sciences Communication Why did you decide to attend UW-Madison? I chose to attend the University of Wisconsin-Madison because I knew I would receive a tremendous education both in and outside of the classroom. I also knew the staff and courses at the University of Wisconsin-Madison would be top of the line. What has been your most memorable college experience? I would say the Royal, ADSAs and Marketing Team competition, as well as working at World Dairy Expo. I can’t stress enough how exposure to off-campus activities is extremely important in order to build relationships and networks within the agricultural industry. What has been your favorite course? Dairy Science 305 (Lactation Physiology) because I loved understanding the biological and molecular level as to how cows provide milk and ways to improve milk production in each individual cow. LSC 360 (Information Radio) was another favorite of mine; I was able to create a 30-minute radio show! What are your future career goals? I would like to obtain a career in marketing and communications within the dairy industry, then eventually manage my own dairy promotion and advertising business. I will also be living on a farm upon graduation to continue to grow my own Registered Holstein herd.

Currently, there are three bulls in the top 100 TPI list bred by Farnear Holsteins. Hansen’s Farm Fresh Dairy of Hudson began on-farm milk processing in February 2004 with nonhomogenized whole milk. This decision was explored and then made when all four sons, Brad, Brent, Blair and Blake expressed interest in joining their parents, Jay and Jeanne Hansen, on their family farm. The product line has grown since then to include skim, 1% and chocolate milk, 30 different flavors of hard ice cream, soft-serve mix, cheese curds, butter and heavy cream. They milk 175 registered Holsteins and farm 450 acres. Their quality dairy products are marketed through 3 owned retail outlets and a newly constructed tour center, as well as other local outlets.

Bailey has transmitted other successful young stars in their herd including her most notable daughter, RJR Sanchez 1914 EX-92. Le-O-La Holsteins is 160 acre farm owned by Rick and Kathy Demmer and their seven children of Peosta. They milk 2X day in a 64 cow tie stall barn. Registered Holsteins were first purchased by Rick’s parents, Leo and Stella in 1969. His parents combined their names to create the prefix Le-O-La which is still used today. Several members in the herd are from the Dellia, Barbie, Liberty Rae, Roxy, Kerndt-Total Grumpy, Royal Rosa, Lead Mae, Shottle May, and Raven families. The Lady Family, tracing back to 1969, produced the All-Iowa 5-Yr-Old and the Top Bred and Owned at the 2013 Iowa State Show. Breeding goals at Le-O-La are to breed the best cows with show type and high genomics. Kass Antique Tractors of Dunkerton has what experts call one of the best collections of Waterloo Boy and two-cylinder John Deere tractors, prairie tractors and Rumely Oil Pull tractors and stationary engines in the country. The collection usually isn’t open to the public. Tractors with chain-driven steering, semi-enclosed cabs and a spring under a seat pale in comparison to modern machines with satellite-guided, handsfree steering, climate-controlled cabs and air-ride seats. However in the early 1900s, the machines on Kass’ farm were state-of-the art. Many tractors Kass owns are extremely rare or some of the first off assembly lines. For example, Kass owns a 1913 Fairbank Morse 20-40, one of two known in existence of the 18 tractors made. An additional new building with an old time front on it and a lean-to type porch is full of collectibles - old clocks, calendars, farm and kitchen tools, etc.
Trappist Caskets – New Melleray Abbey is a Cistercian (Trappist) monastery located in the rolling farmland south of Dubuque established in 1849. They support themselves by farming and making wooden caskets. Trappist Caskets was launched in 1999 when they began selling caskets and urns at wholesale prices. They work at a monastic pace, paying close attention to detail. The skilled craftsmen employ old-world techniques that have been perfected through generations – producing caskets and urns of unique quality. Currently, about 30 monks live, work and pray at the Abbey. Breitbach’s Country Dining in Balltown is the oldest continuously operating restaurant and bar in the state of Iowa, having been open since August 23, 1852. The establishment has been owned and operated by the Breitbach family since 1862. They are now in the 6th generation of family ownership. They have rebuilt the building twice after fire destroyed it in 2007, and then again in 2008, a year to the date. Enjoy the finest hospitality, a home cooked meal and a scenic view while dining in Balltown. Park Farm Winery was established in 2005. It is a family owned and operated 11 acre winery set atop the rolling hills near Bankston, just west of Dubuque. The Park Family produces a wide variety of award-winning Midwest/French-hybrid varietal wines that are unmatched in quality within the region. The chateau-style facilities, together with the surrounding vineyards, pastures and woodlands, evoke an old-world charm that perfectly complements their handcrafted artisan wines, making Park Farm a must-experience Iowa destination. National Farm Toy Museum in Dyersville is the “Farm Toy Capital of the World” since 1986! With thousands of toys, exhibits, and displays scattered throughout the museum, visitors can discover how farming has changed throughout the years and the history of the tractors that help make successful harvests happen. The Museum has your favorite brands like John Deere, Case IH, and Massey Ferguson and along with numerous others for you to explore! Field of Dreams Movie Site - “Is this Heaven? No, it’s Iowa.” The century-old Lansing family farm with its quaint, and oh so recognizable house is located in Dyersville. Field of Dreams, released in 1989, is a movie that has inspired millions and became an Academy Award nominee for “Best Picture of the Year”. Welcome to this home, this farm, this baseball field, this little piece of heaven on earth. Welcome to a place where reality mixes with fantasy and dreams can come true.
Non-Delegate Tour River Cruise – Enjoy a relaxing, sightseeing river cruise over lunch down the Mississippi River. The Spirit of Dubuque is a replica of a century-old Mississippi River steamboat with decorative smokestacks, a scalloped canopy over its open-air deck, Victorian red and gold decor throughout the enclosed dining salon.

Bella-View Holsteins - Lynn & Sara Harbaugh Bella-View Holsteins, Marion, is a family-run operation owned by Lynn and Sara Harbaugh. Lynn and Sara have been involved in the Registered Holstein industry their entire lives, and their children Jacob (8), Logan (6), and Madison (3), are just starting to become involved with Junior Holstein and 4-H activities. The Harbaughs currently own about 50 head of Registered Holsteins, and they house as many as 25 in our facilities at any one time depending on age and size. They do occasionally house a show heifer for others, but own part interest in nearly all the heifers they care for. Most of their milking females are housed at Forest-Ridge Holsteins and the balance of the heifers live there as well. The Harbaughs have a few partnership cows housed elsewhere. Most of the chores at Bella-View are covered by the family. They do have occasional help from a neighbor if they need to be away from home. The goal at Bella-View is to grow and develop heifers from deep pedigrees to their highest potential. They do a small amount of IVF flushing on select cows and flush a few heifers conventionally with sexed semen. Most embryos are implanted at Forest Ridge and Car-Cor Holsteins with resulting calves owned in partnership. The facilities sit on 20 acres, of which 13 are grass hay and the balance is pasture and the buildings. The barn consists of a shavings bay, manure storage, heifer housing and an office. They also have a machine shed that is utilized to store hay and other equipment. Lynn and Sara are excited to be working with several deep-pedigreed cow families. Some of these families include the Roxys, Elegance, Ashlyn, DRA August, Apple, Laurie Sheik, Rubens Marlene, Talent Limited, Durham Juba, 28 - MIDWEST HOLSTEINS, Spring 2014
Integrity Dixie and Go for Gin. Members of all of these families have produced All-American nominations. They have daughters from these families sired by Durham, Goldwyn, Braxton, Sid, Dundee, Dempsey, Aftershock, Gold Chris *RC, Talent and Advent. Heifers bred by Bella-View had a remarkable show season in 2013, topped with three summer yearlings placing first, second and third at the Wisconsin Championship Show. Bella-View Alex Ashanti-ET was purchased by Paige Vossekuil in last spring’s Quest for Success sale, hosted by Lynn and Chad Ryan. Ashanti was the All-Wisconsin and Junior All-Wisconsin Summer Yearling as well as being named Junior Champion of the Junior Show and Reserve Junior Champion of the Open Show. Ashanti is an Alexander from Kingsmill Ashlyns Ashore-ET, EX-92. Reserve All-Wisconsin Summer Yearling was Bella-View Angels Apple-ET, owned in partnership with Cory and Cara Biely. She is a Dempsey from Ms Angelina Angashock-ET, a granddaughter of Apple-Red. Finally, placing third was Bella-View Goldwyn Julip-ET, a Goldwyn from Wilstar Shotle Jacquie-ET VG-85. These three heifers were Nominated All-American Junior Best Three Females. Two of the three heifers will be on display at the barn meeting, as well as some of their spring sale consignments. The Harbaughs do a limited amount of work with genomic families, but are working with an Epic daughter of Curr-Vale Goldwyn Delicious. All heifers at Bella-View are cared for the same. They are housed in group pens of three to five on a shavings bedded pack. Each pen has access to dirt exercise lots. The barn has curtain side-walls to maximize natural ventilation. In addition, there are five individual box stalls for heifers on flush shots or specialized feeding programs during the show season. The box stalls and wash area have rubber flooring to ensure optimal footing. They feed a protein pellet and free choice dry grass hay with corn supplemented in the winter months. Hoof trimming is done on all heifers in early March with additional trimming done as needed throughout the year. All heifers are clipped four to five times a year, with show heifers getting extra attention throughout the year. The show heifers are washed daily and are also under fans during the show season. Lynn and Sara believe in a strong vaccination program to promote maximum health and growth. All heifers get three doses of Bovi-Shield prior to their first breeding and Inforce 3 is given before leaving to go to shows. In addition, all heifers are poured with a dewormer in spring and fall. Lynn and Sara are excited to be hosting a barn meeting and look forward to your visit to Bella-View Holsteins on March 17. The farm will be open from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Oeh-My Farm - Craig & Christine Oehmichen Oeh-My Farms, Abbotsford, is owned by Craig and Christy Oehmichen and their children, Chase (11) and Willow (8). Christy grew up on her family farms of Mayerheim in Deer Park, and Pepst Farms in Centuria. She attended UW-Madison and earned a degree in dairy science. Following graduation she worked for a reputable dairy company but always knew her dream was to have a herd of her own. In 2008 Christy and Craig purchased the farm just down the road from where Craig grew up. The couple hassince built a very reputable herd. They also co-own Short Lane Ag Supply, a full service agronomy business with locations in Colby and Mishicot. On the farm, Christy primarily manages the cows while Craig takes care of the crops. The kids complete daily chores and are getting more and more involved as they become older. Additionally, Christy has been able to mentor high school students through a youth apprenticeship program and shares her love of showing with younger children by allowing them to exhibit animals at area shows. Chase and Willow are also taking a liking to the show ring and have participated at shows such as the Central Wisconsin State Fair, Wisconsin State Fair, District Holstein Show and the Wisconsin Championship Show and the Wisconsin Jersey State Show. They also attend the annual Cow Camp and the Wisconsin Junior Holstein Convention. Oeh-My Farm is located on 174 acres, 135 of which are tillable. They also rent an additional 145 acres. The herd consists of 85 head, including youngstock. The milking herd includes 30 Registered Holsteins and three Registered Jerseys with a rolling herd average of 22,604 milk with 3.8% 854 pounds fat 3.0% 683 pounds protein. Cows are milked in a tie-stall barn that holds 39 cows and heifers are raised in a recently constructed heifer facility. The Holstein herd includes 24 head that go back to the Mark Maui family and eight head that descend from the Elegance family. Christy breeds for type and selects sires with high type, udder composite and foot and leg
composite numbers. She is currently using Gulf, Brokaw, Richman, Moregold, Guthrie, Armani, Absolute, Atwood, Shot and Spur. Frozenes Durham Velma, EX-94 3E and a daughter of Frozenes Broker Vidalia EX-94 GMD DOM, is one of the farm’s top brood cows. She has daughters by Absolute and Atwood. Velma has a deep show record including being first aged cow and Reserve Senior Champion at the District 5 Show in 2009. She was also the second place four year old at the Midwest Fall National Show in 2007 and Nominated All-American Winter Calf in 2003. Some of the other herd highlights and favorite show cows include Ms Drake M-Azement, EX-91, who was the winning 5 year old at the District 4 Show and Central Wisconsin State Fair in 2012. She has daughters by Atwood, Sid and Dempsey. Four-of-a-Kind Mich Miracle, EX-92, is a granddaughter of Four-of-a-Kind Jolt Justine, EX-94 2E, and was the first 5 year old and Reserve Senior Champion at the 2013 District 4 Show. She was also the first 5 year old, Grand Champion and Reserve Supreme Champion at the Central Wisconsin State Fair. Miracle has an Atwood daughter due in March. Kietz Sanchez Blondie, EX-90, also has an Atwood daughter and was second place as a Junior 2 year old and Junior 3 year old at the District 4 Show. She was also first Junior 3 Year Old and Reserve Intermediate Champion at the Central Wisconsin State Fair. The Oehmichens have had much success with their show heifers over the last few years. Oeh-My Hero Ebony, from an EX-90 Ross, was the winning fall calf, Junior Champion of the Junior Show and Reserve Junior Champion of the Open Show at last summer’s District 4 Show. She was also the first fall calf and Reserve Junior Champion at the Wisconsin State Fair. Oeh-My Dempsey Molly comes from the Maui family and was the second place and first junior spring calf at the 2012 District 4 Show. She followed that up as the second spring yearling in 2013 and was the first place spring yearling at the Central Wisconsin State Fair and Wisconsin State Fair open show. Finally, Oeh-My Richman Eliza, from the Elegance family, is a perennial winner at the District 4 show. She was the first spring calf and Reserve Junior Champion of the Junior Show in 2011, second spring yearling in 2012 and first Junior 2 year old of the junior show in 2013. Oeh-My Farm was the Premier Exhibitor at the 2013 District 4 Show and exhibited the Junior Best Three Females in 2012. They have exhibited the Supreme Champion at the 2012 and 2013 Central Wisconsin State Fair and won the Herdsman Award the last two years. Christy has continually enhanced her heifer raising program. The new barn is a pack barn and is very versatile. This allows her to separate show heifers or heifers that need to be fed differently and each pen has access to a pasture. A variety of bedding is used with decisions made based on weather, price and availability. Newborn calves are fed colostrum from Johne’s and leukosis negative dams at birth. If this isn’t available, Secure colostrum replacer is used. Calves are raised in hutches and fed whole milk from Johne’s and leukosis negative cows until they are ten weeks old. In the winter they are fed milk three times per day supplemented with Vita-Lyte and are started on a 20% starter and fed soft hay only. As animals get older, a higher protein hay is made available to heifers. Pellet feed and hay is adjusted according to manure, weight and availability. At breeding age, a ground protein mix is added. The effective, yet costly Fermentin protein is limited to potential show heifers only. Long dry hay is always fed free choice and not limited. The Oehmichen family has mostly shown younger calves as the neighborhood kids that show with the farm are pretty young. Christy selects potential show animals early and ties these animals up to work with them each time they need to be vaccinated or cared for on an individual basis. She believes the key is to start this process early. A bunch of the nicest looking heifers are tied up early in the spring and are clipped off as soon as weather allows. This gives her a chance to see how the heifers look and also how the kids relate to each heifer. Each kid selects the calf or calves they are going to work with during the year. Christy has the group of kids practice leading as schedules allow. The heifers are washed a couple times a week but are sprayed off as often as possible. Christy also trims feet on all show cattle early in the year and then has the hoof trimmer on the farm once every six weeks to do any feet that need more maintenance. Prior to any show, calves are tied up on a pack to get used to things like being watered, having a fork underfoot and people walking up between them, etc. The Oehmichen family would like to extend a warm welcome to everyone who is able to attend the meeting and appreciate the Wisconsin Holstein Association for this opportunity. It’s always an honor to have people to the farm. They love what they do and couldn’t do it without the help of the countless friends and mentors who have helped along the way. First and foremost, they’d like to thank their parents – Jim and Carlene Mayer and Larry and Carol Oehmichen. Also special thanks to Joey Kietzman, Joe and
Belle Sigwarth, Chad Ryan, Lynn Harbaugh, Perry Phend, Tim Rau, Kim Bremmer, Matt Dorshorst, Tom Steive, and many others for their role in developing this herd.
Walk-Era Farms - Walker Family Built on family and faith, Walk-Era Farms of Wisconsin Dells is truly where dreams of excellence are coming true. The Walker family has been located in the Wisconsin Dells area since Erwin and Ella Walker arrived from North Dakota in 1936. In 1957, their son Dean married Doris, and they purchased the farm from Dean’s parents. At that time, the farm consisted of 240 acres, a 23-cow stanchion barn, 20 grade and three Registered Holsteins. The farm has come a long way since its birth in Wisconsin. In 1963, a free stall barn and double four swing parlor were built, and the herd number grew to 70 cows. Dean and Doris’ sons slowly grew the number of Registered Holsteins through involvement in 4-H and showing over the years, and by 1983, the decision was made to improve and expand facilities. That year a 100-cow stall barn was built, with a double five herringbone parlor. The decision to build a stall barn rather than free stall was a simple one for the Walker boys, as their desire to show and merchandise their cattle trumped the poorly designed free stalls that were being built in the 70’s and 80’s. John and his wife Marci, along with children Alli, 14, and Brett, 11, are heavily involved in the cows, as John takes care of the breeding and the family works with the show animals and feeds calves. John is a graduate of UW-Madison and Marci from UW-River Falls. Marci is very active in the industry, serving as president of the Wisconsin Holstein board, and providing her leadership to the District Five junior Holstein delegation. Tim and Tracy, along with their children Gracie, 11, Libby, 8, and Emmy, 4, are excited to continue getting their children involved in the farm. Tim helps with both the cows and crop work, and is also a graduate of UWMadison. Tracy is a graduate of Cal Poly/Fresno State, and was a nurse before becoming a stay at home mom. Tom and Jackie have a daughter Nora, age 2 and a 4 month old son Nash, and look forward to the day they will be able to show and help on the farm. Tom focuses on the crops, is a graduate of UW-Platteville in engineering, and Jackie is a physical therapist. Walkers milk 100 cows in a double-five herringbone parlor and the cows are housed in a 4-row wide tie-stall barn. The bred heifers and dry cows are housed in a freestall barn. The herd boasts a rolling herd average is 23,748 3.86 947 3.16 751 and a BAA of 109.2% with 24 EX, 49 VG and 37 GP cows. Over the years, the Walkers have bred 92 Excellent cows, received the PBR Award 9 times, had six All-Wisconsin and Reserve All-Wisconsin winners, five animals place in the top 10 at World Dairy Expo, and have won Premier Breeder or Premier Exhibitor honors at the District 5 Show five times. There are several key families that have contributed to the Walk-Era success over the years. The Rose family matriarch is Pearmont-LTD Mandingo Rose, EX-91 3E and backed by four generations of Excellent, was purchased as a yearling heifer in 1988. Her pedigree includes Spring Farms Citation Rosetta, a cow that was Grand Champion at the Royal Winter Fair in 1977. Rose has over 30 Very Good and Excellent descendants, including four Excellent daughters – two by Raider, one by Kite and one by Roy. Carldot Raider June, EX-91 in Canada, had three Excellent daughters for the Walkers, but her best was Walk-Era Counselor Jena, EX-93 3E. A prominent show cow, Jena had six daughters that included EX-92 Linjet Justine. Justine’s record at 4-05 and 365 days included 30,639M with 3.8 1206F and 3.2 990P. Justine is a tremendous brood cow in her own right and has produced one Excellent and three VG-87 Goldwyn daughters that are all excelling as young cows in other herds. The Walkers sold all but one of the VG daughters, and are excited to flush and work with Walk-Era Just a Dream VG-87. Raider June has over 20 VG and EX offspring to date. She has transmitted phenomenal udders and style to her progeny, and has welded on some of the best udders in the Walker herd. In addition to Jena, June had another Excellent Counselor and an Excellent Broker. The next foundation family is backed by Cherown Strategy Marsha, EX-92 3E. Her dam was an EX-94 Raider and granddam the EX-92 Mark Ruperta. Marsha also has over 20 VG and EX descendants in the Walk-Era herd – including two EX daughters by Champion and two by Outside. These four Excellent daughters have combined for an EX-92 Damion, two EX-91 Durhams, an EX-91 Advent, and an additional EX-90 Durham. Marsha’s most notable daughter, though, has been Walk-Era Champion Matrix, EX-90 2E. Matrix was Nominated All-American as a winter yearling in 2005, standing second at both the Midwest Fall National and Midwest Spring National shows that year. Her record at 6-0 2x 365d yielded 35,845M with continued on page 30 MIDWEST HOLSTEINS, Spring 2014 - 29
WHA Barn Meeting info, continued from page 29 4.6 1665F and 3.3 1174P. Her best daughter has been WalkEra Durham Monarch, EX-90, who was second 4-year-old and Reserve Grand Champion at the District 5 Holstein Show in 2011. Her record at 3-02 2x and 365d totaled 34,026M with 4.3 1448F and 3.4 1143P. Monarch has milking Windbrook
The Walker family would like to welcome you to their barn meeting. There will be an open barn from 11:00 a.m.-12:00 noon with lunch available from 11:45 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Nick Uglow with Vita Plus will give a presentation on show heifer nutrition at 12:30 p.m. followed by an overview of the Walk-Era show heifer program and a tour of the heifer facilities. Walk-Eraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nutritionists, James Hoffman with Frontier FS, Argyle, and Lisa Peterson with Allied Coop, Adams, will also be on hand to answer questions.
and Fevers. Holbric Ravage Orsmby, EX-93 3E is another matriarch that was added to the Walk-Era herd. Nominated Junior All-American as a four-year-old, Orsmby was flushed to Dundee early on and her daughters have packed a punch in the show ring. Walk-Era Dundee Oh My, VG-87, was AllWisconsin Winter Yearling in 2011 and ninth at Madison. As a senior 2year-old in 2012, Oh My was first senior two-year-old at the Midwest Spring National, first and Reserve Intermediate Champion at the District 5 Holstein Show, and seventh in class at the WI Championship Show. Walk-Era Dundee Oreo-ET, EX-90, is another prominent Dundee from Orsmby. Oreo was 1st Spring Yearling & Reserve Junior Champion at the Midwest Spring Show, Junior Champion at the WI Championship Show, 4th at WDE, Nominated All-American Spring Yearling in 2009. She has a VG milking Aftershock daughter and a Sid Winter Yearling. Orsmby also has two exciting heifers for 2014 by Fever and Goldsun. Other cows leaving their mark in the Walk-Era herd include Liessels Outside Allie, EX-91, and her nine daughters; KHW Distorted Humor, an EX-90 Jasper from the Altitude family and an eighth generation EX; and Miss Triumphant Kandy-ET, EX-91, who has milking daughters by Durham, Atwood and Aftershock. All calves at Walk-Era are given the same ration and opportunity to develop in their calf barn up to 10-12 months of age. They begin with whole milk and calf starter in indoor or outdoor hutches, depending on the season. At weaning they move into groups of no more than seven head per pen, transition to grass hay and 20% starter and then at 6 months of age are transitioned to a protein pellet. Those that display show potential are moved to our show barn where we have four separate pens and are able to monitor feed intakes with more precision and handle them easier for halter breaking. The facility also has a wash rack, fans and pasture access.
Our Featured Speaker - Nick Uglow Nick Uglow grew up on his familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 60-cow dairy, Horseshoe Hill Farm, in Watertown, Wisconsin. Working on the farm, Uglow developed his passion for dairy production and genetics. This led him to pursue a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in dairy science and agricultural journalism from the University of WisconsinMadison. Today, he continues to help manage his familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s herd composed of 80 percent Brown Swiss and 20 percent Holstein genetics. He also works as a dairy nutrition consultant with Vita Plus, a livestock feed and nutrition company based in Madison, Wisconsin and serving producers throughout the upper Midwest. Uglow is a member of the Wisconsin Brown Swiss Association, Brown Swiss Cattle Breeders Association, Wisconsin Agricultural and Life Sciences Alumni Association and Alpha Gamma Rho Fraternity. Uglow combines his nutrition expertise with years of on-farm animal management experience. He draws on these skills to develop customized solutions for his customers that will help meet their herdsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; performance and profitability goals. His experience has also led him to his own herdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success in the showring. Horseshoe Hill Brown Swiss saw several All-American nominations in the past five years. As he works with fellow producers, Uglow emphasizes the importance of optimizing nutrition and providing top-notch care to all animals, starting with newborn calves and continuing throughout the entire herd. Youth exhibitors and other clients have boosted their nutrition and management knowledge thanks to Uglowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assistance and used their new skills to reach the top of the showring. At this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wisconsin Holstein Association Barn Meetings, Uglow will share this same show heifer nutrition and management expertise with attendees. His tips and advice can be put to use in helping heifers achieve their genetic potential.

an-Rose Dairy has always opened its doors to young people in an effort to facilitate learning. On September 4 and 5, Hoard’s Dairyman and the University of Wisconsin-Madison embarked on the second edition of Learning Linear. As was the case with the first series in 1998, the cows of Ran-Rose served as the models for the project. In all, 25 cows were used for 65 different poses. Additional cattle came from the UW Research herd, Mark and Nicky Rueth and Mitch Krahn. The articles series and its 90-plus photos were published in the January 10 and 25; February 10 and 25 and March 10 Young Dairyman pages of Hoard’s Dairyman.
Two of our 25 models that day:

MARATHON COUNTY HOLSTEIN BREEDERS
Introducing... After living out of a suitcase for two years working construction, Keith Bauman decided to look for something that would give him time home with his wife, Cassi and kids, Korbyn and Karsyn and later Chase. He turned to farming on his parent’s farm. Keith’s parents, Gary and Dianne, farmed for 42 years on Hill Top Acres in Edgar. They had only a few registered animals. Due to hips and knees being replaced, they decided to sell the cows. The barn then stood vacant until Keith and Cassi decided to start it up again and keep the farm in the Bauman name. This year marked 160 years since the farm was first run by a Bauman. The original plan was to only milk 30 cows, but that number quickly grew. Keith and Cassi bought cows from private sales and auctions to grow the herd. Keith had lots of good eyes to help select the cows that would be most suited for the herd. His uncle Russ told Keith to start out with three or four registered animals, as that was what he was told when he started. Keith and Cassi’s first registered animal was Crestwood Logan Iron Sandy, or to the family, Snookums. She was bought fresh from Loren Birkey. On May 9, 2011, our first registered calf was born. TripleK-C Rufus Colby. She is now milking and pregnant with her second calf. The Bauman’s quickly decided to buy mostly registered animals from there on out. By 2013, half of the herd was registered. As of January 2014, the herd has grown to 30 registered milking animals, 30 non-registered milking animals, 43 registered calves and 10 non-registered calves. Some of the most prized animals on the farm are son Korbyn’s show animals. They are TripleK-C Pxtn-Rd Miley-Red, Chancerys Dempsey Outstanding, and TripleK-C Bradnick Phancy. Korbyn has had two successful years of showing. He received two blues with Miley, one blue with Outstanding and a red with Phancy. He is looking forward to showing this year with TripleK-C Apl-Rd Montana-Red, TripleK-C G W Atwood Darcy, and TripleK-C Magenta Oregon-ET. In April 2013, Keith started to wonder about flushing animals. He made the trip down the road to see Floyd Baumann and Floyd talked Keith into it enough that they flushed two cows the end of the month. Cancerys Rubens Ozzie was flushed with Eskdale Magenta-Red and we extracted nine eggs. From that flush, there was one heifer and two bull calves born in January. Leesia Bridgette Bonie Brnt was flushed with Chassity Gold Chip. There was only one pregnancy from this flush and a bull calf was just born on January 1. Since then, the Baumans flushed five more cows and have had 20 confirmed pregnancies. They also have a cow on contract and her pregnancies will be coming in June. This is the next adventure for Keith and Cassi and they are very excited to see what it has in store for them. Thank you to the Marathon County Holstein Breeders for sponsoring this ad. Also, we would like to give the flush vet, Dr. Waylon Fischer, a huge thank you and Floyd for helping us get started with the flushing. Also to Gary and Dianne Bauman, Russ and Rosie Bauman, Duwaine Nowak, Don Mullins and Perry Phend with Select Sires and to everyone else that helped us in getting started with Keith’s lifelong dream of taking over the family farm. We look forward to our kids growing up and taking over the farm one day to have it in the Bauman name for 160 more years.

I think I can honestly say that we are all ready for spring to come. It has been a long, cold winter. Some of us havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had to deal with the snow, but the temperatures fall and the wind blows. The calendar says that spring will soon be upon us. Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait! When spring comes so do many activities. The Central Plains Holstein Show will be June 7 at the Swiftel Center in Brookings and that is a month earlier this year, so entries will be available April 1 and due back May 10. Chad Ryan will be the judge this year. If any of you have been thinking about coming to South Dakota for the show, either to enter the classes with your Holsteins or to watch, this is the year. Entries are available by contacting the Association Secretary. The SD Holstein Association is moving their annual sale to be held the day before the show at the Swiftel Center. There will be cows, bred heifers and open heifers available
for you to purchase. Some consignments will be tied and some will be in pens and that is up to the consignor. Also, if you wish to consign an animal for the sale but would like to show her the next day that is up to you. Give our sale chairman, Brad DeBoer, or the sale coordinator, Mike Snyder, a call to consign. They are starting to look for consignments. Their contact information can be found in our ad for these events in this issue. Also, during these two South Dakota Holstein Association events, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dairy Festâ&#x20AC;? will be going on. A new event for the region to celebrate the dairy industry, it is being hosted by the Swiftel Center and will feature many activities for the public. A well-known chef will be coming to prepare a â&#x20AC;&#x153;dairy galaâ&#x20AC;? meal, education forums for adults and children, cooking contests featuring dairy products, dairy tours, display booths, judging contests, and many more activities will be held during â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dairy Festâ&#x20AC;? that will involve the public including state
dignitaries, SDSU coaches and players. With this event going on at the same time as our show and sale, this will give the public a chance to observe the great care and work that you as breeders give your Holsteins. Another spring event that will be happening soon in the upper Midwest is the Central Plains Dairy Expo, March 25-27 in Sioux Falls, SD. What a great way to reconnect with your dairy friends while walking through the many aisles of booths or attending the many breakout sessions. The Welcome Reception Concert this year features Aaron Tippon, Sammy Kershaw and Joe Diffie. Check out the website for the expo: www.centralplainsdairyexpo.com Many dairy activities will be happening in South Dakota the next four months and I hope to see many of you at them from the Upper Midwest and beyond!
