FROM THE PRESIDENT________________ I was doing a pretty good job of fighting off the winter blues. That is until the week after the blizzard of 2011 - a massive storm that produced nearly two feet of snow in the northern parts of the state as well as very heavy ice in the south with widespread power outages. When I started to write this message the topics of spring training (the Cardinals first game is February 28), spring shows (just about a month away), and spring sales get going in earnest in March. If you get a chance, make sure to attend one of our member sponsored club sales. Some of the top animals and very best pedigrees will be available. No matter if you’re looking for a fancy show calf, good young milk cow, or a cutting edge GTPI animal these sales will not disappoint. From these thoughts, I look forward also to spring planting and putting up first crop hay. If I haven’t spread the spring fever bug by now I’m sure the first 60-degree day will do the job, which we already had in late February! Moving on, our industry faces never ending challenges including market volatility and ever increasing cost of production. However the milk price forecast has improved of late and if you have grain to sell that market will also help. Good luck to everyone and keep your spirits up and stay focused.

DUTCHESS DOMAIN & LITTLE MISS HOLSTEIN___ Hello everyone! Spring is right around the corner, which means farming season is coming up and all those show cattle are going to need grooming soon. After spring, our annual Dutchess Contest comes around again! I cannot believe it has been almost an entire year that I have been the Illinois Holstein Dutchess. This year has been a whirlwind of activities for me. I have attended sales, banquets, and of course, fairs. Last year, the numbers for the contest were very low and it would be great to have more young ladies compete for this awesome title. So junior ladies, listen up! The Dutchess Contest takes place the day before the State Show in Bloomington, along with the Little Miss Holstein Contest. Each participant is asked to give a 3-5 minute speech to the panel of judges. They are then asked three questions from the judges and given as much time as they would like to answer. After the questions, a personal interview is given to let the judges get to know you. Last year after the contest we had refreshments. Yum, cookies and milk! The next morning the winner was announced and started her duties that day! I realize that this is very brief with only a few details. However, I have been keeping a short journal of my experiences and would love to share them with any possible contestants for the upcoming year. My e-mail address is kgprobs@ilstu.edu and I would be happy to share any particulars about the contest, like what to write about or what to wear, or the duties of the Dutchess, like what events to attend and how they are ran. Hope to see you all there!

What is a Little Miss Holstein? Every little girl wants to be a Princess and this is fun. The first ever Little Miss Holstein Contest was held on Wednesday, July 21, 2010 in conjunction with the Illinois Holstein Dutchess Contest. This past year’s contest featured two delightful young girls, Emily Sheehan and Renee Probst. Emily Sheehan is the daughter of John and Crystal Sheehan of Huntley, IL. Emily is a 4th grader this year. She loves to lead cows and exhibit at fairs. Emily was the first place mini-showmanship winner at the Northwest District Holstein Show this past summer and has won many show ribbons. She is a McHenry County 4-H member. Emily participates in Sunday School, Awanas and bell choir and she is a soccer player and enthusiast. Renee Probst is the daughter of Toby and Margie Probst of Wheeler, IL. Renee is a third grader this year. She loves animals, being outside and tumbling. Renee loves to show. This past year she couldn’t wait for the March calves to be born so that she could pick her calf to show in 4-H and at the district show. Renee is also very involved in tumbling and qualified for Nationals last year. She loves to spend time with her family, talk, swim, read and play with friends. Don’t you have a little princess in your family? The contest is open to all girls aged 6-10 and will be held this year on Wednesday July 20. A short application is required for participation and full contest rules will be printed in the June Herald. For additional information please contact Lori Lyons at 815- Little Miss Holstein contestants, Renee Probst, left, and Emily 988-7102 or moolyons@aol.com.

STATURE CHANGE IN HOLSTEIN CLASSIFICATION As of February 1, 2011, a change has been made to the way Stature is evaluated in Holstein Association USA’s Classification program. A recommendation was made by the Type Advisory Committee (TAC) and approved by the board of directors in November 2010, that any cow falling outside of what is considered to be within the breed standard height of between 56 and 62 inches tall (as measured at the spine, between the hips) will be deducted two points from the Front End/Capacity category. This equates to a deduction of 0.4 points from a cow’s final score. As is standard policy, cows that are evaluated at less than two years of age will have their stature score age-adjusted. As an example, a cow scoring 87 for Front/ End Capacity would only receive a score of 85 for that breakdown if she was shorter than 56 inches or taller than 62 inches, as measured at the spine, between her hips. “Statistics show that the Holstein breed is getting taller, and we’re seeing where it’s causing dairymen to have to remodel the stalls in their tiestall and freestall barns to accommodate larger cows,” states John Connor, Holstein
Association USA Director of Type Evaluation. “Very few cows will lose points as a result of them being too tall or small, but the TAC felt it was their duty, as an Association representing Holstein breeders across the country, to put this new policy into place.” Stature is the most heritable type trait measured by Holstein Association USA, at 0.42. Continual selection for stature in the population will bring about a phenotypic response that can easily be measured. For example, the average STA for Stature of the Available Bull Population in February 2006 was 0.74 (Tall); in December 2010, the average STA Stature of the Available Bull Population was 1.33 (Tall). When the January 2010 base change is added to that (+0.70), the real change in STA Stature is +1.29. On a linear scale, this equates to a significant change of +2.33 linear points (or about half an inch in stature) in less than five years. “The message that this change sends is that we do not want the Holstein breed to continually progress in a direction that will result in extremely tall cows that must be
housed and managed specially and differently from the majority of the herd, just to be able to keep them in the herd,” added Connor. As an Association, it is important to consider the future of the Holstein breed, the direction that the U.S. Holstein population is headed, and how that relates to the U.S. Registered Holstein being the breed of choice for dairy producers worldwide, now and into the future. Classifiers are asked to communicate this new policy at all herds they evaluate cattle for, even in cases where cows are unaffected. With questions, contact the Classification department at 800.952.5200, ext. 4263.

Bettylou’s story started 30 years ago with 4EX and 3 VG daughters. She has provided us with All American nominees, AI and Embryo contracts, GMDs, DOMs and opportunities to market animals in all arenas. Trends have come and gone, but the demand for offspring from the Betty family has never wavered. Currently 1/3 of our herd traces back to Bettylou. We have developed over 25 EX and 35 VG Betty’s with many more in barns around the globe. We’ll let the pictures tell the rest of her story.

WISCONSIN MADISON Dairy Science STUDENT PROFILE Name: Mason Amundson Hometown: Mount Hope, WI High School: River Ridge High School Class Size: 62 Farm: Nordic-Ridge Holsteins, 120 dairy cows Major: Dairy Science Why did you decide to attend UW-Madison? I wanted to take advantage of the opportunities that a large school can offer a student. Getting out of my small hometown and meeting new people was also what helped me decide that the UW was the school for me. What has been your most memorable college experience? Badger football game day has always been a good time with friends that I will never forget and I look forward to returning as an alumni. What has been your favorite course? My favorite course has been Dairy Science 375 with Dr. Wiltbank. This class has given me the opportunity to practice basic dairy cow reproductive practices. I was also able to learn the science behind today’s reproductive protocols and learn how to use them to maximize a dairy’s potential. What are your future career goals? My dream is to become a large animal veterinarian and practice here in Wisconsin. I want to specialize in dairy cow reproduction and maybe someday own my own embryo transfer business.

Poly-Kow Mailing is an excellent example of the type of bulls we use in our breeding program, and we continue to use him. All three of these cows come from generations of homebred success. Solid bulls, with solid type, produce cows that work and last for us. We’ve explored many different options, but feel good old “cow sense” and “common sense” are the best way to decide matings and breed cows. We currently have a few bulls available, born September 2010. We have two in service at the Dale & Jake Roth farm in Eland and Jake says they’re built right, look good and getting the job done!

Spring 2011
After a long, challenging winter, the promise of spring certainly is welcome. I hope no cows slipped on the ice, no frostbitten teats and no other ailments occurred on your farm. Holstein USA finished 2010 in strong
FROM THE BOARD financial shape with increases in many business areas while reducing expenses. It has been a tough year for feed and milk prices and we are fortunate to have a solid year with your organization. Hopefully, 2011 will see profitable conditions on the dairy. Recently, the Holstein USA Board of Directors voted to change the TPI formula. See the sidebar for more information. Also, USDA will rescale Non-Genomic animals with the April 2011 run to get all animals on a similar genetic base. If you have questions, feel free to call me and I will help you find an answer. Holstein USA continues to stay involved in the policy development process to give
dairymen a voice. We support the Dairy Price Stabilization Program and will work to get it as part of whatever policy is developed. Also, classification fees are changing this spring but the good news is there is no increase for those on Complete. If you are not on complete contact your field rep to get signed up-it might save you money. I look forward to the spring sales and how animals will sell. With extremely strong cull cow prices, it would make sense to sell a couple of marginal cows and invest in a good pedigreed Registered Holstein. I look forward to visiting with you.

NATIONAL DAIRY SHRINE AWARD APPLICATIONS DUE MARCH 15
Denmark, Wis. – National Dairy Shrine is again seeking nominations for its most prestigious awards: Guest of Honor, Pioneer, Distinguished Dairy Cattle Breeder, Progressive Dairy Producer, and Graduate Production Award. The Guest of Honor is given to a contemporary dairy leader for outstanding accomplishments and contributions to the dairy industry. It has been awarded every year since 1949 when Dean H. Kildee was named the first Guest of Honor. Each year, three to four living or deceased Pioneers of the dairy industry are honored by National Dairy Shrine for their service and leadership in the dairy industry. Meanwhile, the Distinguished Dairy Cattle Breeder is an award which recognizes active, progressive dairy producers who, through their expertise in managing a dairy breeding herd based upon sound genetics and business principles, serve as a model of success for fellow breeders throughout the country. All these award winners’ accomplishments are on permanent display in the Dairy Hall of Fame at the National Dairy Shrine Museum in Fort Atkinson, Wis. One of National Dairy Shrine’s newer
Illinois Holstein Herald
awards, the Progressive Dairy Producer Award, is given to producers ages 21 to 45 who have introduced and applied effective management and business practices that help achieve more profitable dairy businesses. Two $2,000 awards for education and travel are given annually, one for herd sizes with 300 milk cows or less and a second for herds with over 300 milk cows. The Graduate Dairy Production Award recognizes and assists qualified two-year and four-year agricultural college graduates efforts to pursue a career in commercial dairy farming and to gain ownership of dairy cattle with the intent of growing their dairy herd. The applicant must be employed in a herd management role on a commercial dairy when completing the award application. The winner will receive a $2,500 award from National Dairy Shrine. Nominations or applications must be submitted on official forms by March 15, 2011. If you know someone who should be nominated for these awards, please visit the NDS website at www.dairyshrine.org and click on “Adult Awards” to view a complete listing of each award form.
