LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Thank you to the Illinois Junior Holstein Association for sponsoring the Kyle Mitchell Outstanding Junior Memorial Award. I am honored to be the first recipient of this award as my Junior mmbership comes to an end. Thanks to all those who have helped me over the years to further my Junior career. This award is especially meaningful to me as I knew Kyle so well. He was always a very active Junior member and a great representative to our club as well as a great friend. I am very thankful to have been honored with this special award. Kelly Sheehan Sometimes your children and grandchildren surprise you - that was the case when we told them “no gifts” for our 60th wedding anniversary. They gave us a gift we couldn’t turn away. Cash - for this donation to the Illinois Junior Holstein Club. We’ve been espicially blessed this year with 2 new great grandchildren and three weddings of our grandchildren. We’ve added on to their gift to honor these senior members who have given of their time and talent to teach and mentor our juniors in the state and national contest in dairy bowls and dairy cattle judging and other activities. Holstein friends are the best! Bob & Marilyn Butler On behalf of the Juniors I would like to thank Bob & Marilyn for not only their donation but their dedication to the Holstein Association and the Holstein breed. We very much appreciate what they and their family have done over their many years of service. Thank you again for making a difference in our organization. Justin Crull, State Treasurer It was a great honor for me to represent Illinois on the Dairy Quiz Bowl Team, but the thing that meant the most to me was being awarded the Kyle Mitchell Award. Kyle always made me feel welcome and part of the quiz bowl team. He always took the time to make us all laugh and then challenge us in quiz bowl practice. He is very much missed, and he continues to influence not only me but other juniors in all our dairy activities. We are going to CA for the national quiz bowl contest and we will take with us his spirit of life and his sense of competition as we represent IL. Thank you to the Mitchell family and the Boone Winnebago Holstein Club for honoring me with such a special award. Justin Crull

From the President... What is your concept of the ideal Holstein cow? Her genetic make-up that adds to a top-notch pedigree? Her outstanding milk production with high protein and butterfat percentages? Her classy type that leads to show winners? Or perhaps the one who can boast of all three? This issue of the Herald features the best of Illinois cows who may represent that perfect cow for you. You will find our state’s top production leaders, the Illinois cows found on the Locator List, and results of this year’s national spring shows. This issue will also feature the “Cow of the Year” nominees. Be sure to visit the Illinois Holstein Association website, view the nominees again and then cast your vote! In the March issue of the Herald, I wrote about the changes and challenges facing the dairy industry. Although they are still with us,
this issue of the Herald reminds us why we are breeders of registered Holstein cattle-- pride of accomplishment in striving to develop that perfect cow. What is your concept of the ideal state Holstein Association? I’d like to remind you that your board of directors is working towards that end. If you have any questions, concerns or brilliant ideas, be sure to visit with your local director before the June board meeting. And, finally, I encourage all of you to enjoy the fellowship in the summer days to come -- be it at district shows, the Illinois Championship Show, your club’s dairy promotion project, or the state picnic. Remember, all work and no fun . . . well, that is no fun!

I had a wonderful year serving as the Illinois Holstein Dutchess and encourages any junior girl to participate. I want to thank anyone that has helped me throughout my years as a junior member especially my parents who helped me every step of the way. Finally I would like to wish everyone good luck with their animals that the district shows and hope to see many of you this summer.

From the Field... HELLO ILLINOIS! You have probably heard by now that Larry Kleiner resigned his regional rep position and has taken on a new challenge in the dairy industry with Dairy Agenda Today. We all wish Larry the very best in his new venture. During this interim period I have been asked by Holstein USA to cover “The Land of Lincoln”. I am looking forward to working with you and would encourage you to call me if you need assistance with Holstein Association business. We could also visit about baseball, football and basketball but we might have a few differences when it comes to these topics. As my good friends Howard Dust & Dan Head have informed me I need not mention that state to
the north when I am in “Gods Country”. I will try to comply. Seriously, I have worked for the Association for several years and have a good understanding of the programs and services that are offered. Perhaps more importantly I look forward to working with Holstein breeders and seeing them have success with their Registered Holsteins. Your success also means that Holstein USA
is successful and that makes for a win-win situation. For your information I currently plan to make at least one trip a month to Illinois. Some of those will be day trips and of course others will be spending 2 to 3 days in your area. I will attempt to call prior to my visiting or if you need me to stop please feel free to call. The best way to reach me is my cell phone and that number is 608-963-9308. If you call me I will return your call provided you leave a call back number. As we approach the middle of 2009 no doubt we have many challenges to handle. Let’s see if we can face a few of these together when it comes to the Holstein business. Looking forward to working with you in the months ahead. See you in Illinois!

2009 Illinois Junior Distinguished Junior Member Congratulations to Sarah Sheehan of Huntley, Ill., the 2009 Illinois Junior Distinguished Junior Member
G
et the special potion! Wipe Fancy down! Help Brianna with Champion! HURRY UP already! Three and four year olds are in the ring!” These are just a few of the orders thrown at us kids as we get our animals ready for the show. Excitement fills the air; this is the day we have been preparing for all summer. Today is show day. Since I was big enough to walk around the ring on my own, I have been showing; well, at least doing my best, even if I was just holding the end of the halter. I have always enjoyed
being on the farm and doing whatever I could to help. My first chore around the farm, and probably one of my favorite, was feeding the calves. I felt especially lucky when I got to bottle feed a newborn, even if I could not manage to do it without getting the front of my jacket full of slobber and milk. As I got older, my chores, of course, increased. We never had specific chores however, since my brothers and sisters and I did not actually grow up on the farm. We grew up just across town from my grandparents’ home farm. Luckily, being so close, we made frequent trips there. Since we therefore did not have set chores, we simply did what we were asked. My favorite thing to do was to follow my grandpa and learn whatever I could. When I got big enough to handle a calf on my own, I began helping my sister and aunt with heifer chores in the summer. At Mil-R-Mor, it is our belief that breaking all the young heifers to lead is very important. It helps in managing them, and it helps the transition into the milking barn go much smoother. Therefore, every summer we tie up all the heifers and work with them every morning and night. As it got closer to fair time, we would select our showstring and my aunt Kathy would set up a pretend show ring and judge us for practice. My aunt Kathy, my older sister, and my cousin taught me how to become the best showman I could be. They also helped me learn how to fit my own animal, making me responsible for a few more elements of getting my heifer ready every year. Page 9
These days, the farm is father away due to a recent move, but I still go up there as often as possible. I assist with milking in both of our tie-stall barns, and whatever else needs done. Our heifers are still tied up every summer to be broke to lead, but since I am older, I have more responsibilities. As my older sister is away at college now, I have assumed the role she played as the older sister who helps the younger ones develop their love for the Holstein cow. I spend most of my summer at the farm, assisting with the milking, working with the heifers, and learning all I can from anyone who will teach me. The two people who have greatly inspired my participation in Junior Holstein activities have been my cousin, Lorilee, and my older sister, Kelly. Both of them were in dairy bowl and finally one day Kelly dragged me along to a dairy bowl practice. I had always wanted to join but I was too shy and did not think I would fit in or know anything. When I went though, I was surprised to discover how much I already knew, how quickly I learned so much new information, and how much fun it was! I believe that joining in Dairy Bowl and other Holstein Activities has helped me grow as a young adult. For example, I try to never pass up a good opportunity so, as shy as I was; I decided to give a speech at Spring Thing my first year. That year I made it to the National Convention in Nebraska and I have never looked back. I will readily admit that the first few years my speeches at Spring Thing were a bit shaky. I never quit trying though, and each year I give a better speech. When the speech unit comes up in English class, many of my classmates dread coming to class for fear of giving their speech. While my speeches are far from perfect, I am not as nervous as many of my classmates because, though the Holstein Association and the programs they offer juniors, I have gained the confidence I need to do well. In addition to dairy bowl and speeches, I participate in several other Junior activities. I show at our county Holstein show every year, and this past summer, I
also showed at our state Holstein show in both showmanship and cow classes. While there, I also participated in the State Dutchess contest. After giving my speech, answering some public questions, and participating, I was the first runner up and hope to compete again next year. I am also active in our state and county Holstein clubs, where I am treasurer and secretary/reporter respectively. While I used to wish that I had grown up on a dairy farm, by not doing so I have a different story to tell. I have seen what it is like for my cousins and friends who grew up on farms, and I know from experience what it is like to grow up off the farm. My parents did not make us help on the farm or even make us go there; in fact, they often had to drag us back home! We had a choice. I could have chosen not to become involved in the farm and the dairy industry, but I enjoy working with our animals too much to ever miss an opportunity to do so. While I may not live there, our family’s farm is my second home and I would not have it any other way.

2009 DJM Named National Semi-Finalist
Emily Lyons, Rockford, Ill., has been named a National Distinguished Junior Member Semi-Finalist. She will represent Illinois at the National Holstein Convention held at the end of June in Sacramento, Calif.
L
ooking back on my life I can’t believe how much I have been influenced by the Holstein cow. My memories of the Holstein cow go back as far as I can remember. Whether it me playing in the barn with the baby calves or falling asleep with a cow stuffed animal, the Holstein cow has always been there. She has driven me to be the person that I am today. She has helped me foster the ideals that my small family farm was set up upon many years ago. Lyonden Farm has a long history in the registered Holstein business. In 1916 my Great-great-grandfather John Lyons lived on a farm in Dimmick, a small town in north central Illinois, where he milked a herd of 15 to 20 Holsteins by hand. He purchased a farm in Granville, IL, which was a distance of approximately 25 miles and had to move the animals to the new farmstead. He herded the cattle (on foot) south to St. Bede Academy, a Catholic High School, where they were housed for the night. John then guided the cows to Spring Valley, IL where they were ferried over the Illinois River in a ferry boat into Putnam County. He then drove the cattle another eight miles to the farm in Granville. My Great-greatgrandfather raised registered Holsteins on this farm. This is marked by a public auction on February 19, 1925, when fifteen cows and bulls were sold with the Lyonden prefix. From that point on the emphasis of the farm was less intensified because of the Great Depression. By this time, my Great-grandfather Joseph was then in charge of the operation. He did not maintain the registrations on the cows but he did continue to milk purebred Holsteins and also had a few Guerneys’ in the mix. In 1948,
Page 10
when my Grandfather Kevin was nine years old and about to join 4-H, my Great-grandfather took him to the Curtis Candy 4-H and FFA Sale, where they sold dairy and beef cattle, along with sheep and hogs. Here my Greatgrandfather bought a Registered Holstein heifer for my grandfather. This Registered animal lived to be ten years old and had six heifer calves. This was my Grandfather’s foundation Registered Holstein cow family. After my Grandfather got out of college, he decided to work off the farm for a few years and then realized that he needed to return home to farm. He farmed from 1960 until 1983, when he realized that none of his children were coming back to the farm. At this point Lyonden Farm had grown to 100 head of milking animals which for our area and the time was a pretty big herd. My Grandfather held a dispersal sale, but managed to hold onto a few cow families in anticipation of grandchildren. In November 1985 my parents, Brian and Lori Lyons, were married. They lived in town for a short time because of my father’s job at Farm Credit Services and my mother’s job in town at the bank. Living in town was difficult for my parents because my dad missed working with Holsteins and my mom missed working with horses. My parents tried to find a house and land suitable to raise a few heifers. After a short stint on a rented farm in Egan, IL, the family, which at this time had grown to include my older sister Erin and me, moved to Rockford, IL. where we currently reside. We ended up on a small farm which includes an old white dairy barn and allows us to raise about 15 heifers at a time. While this isn’t a typical farm, it suits me and my family
perfectly. It has allowed us kids to learn the responsibilities that are associated with livestock ownership and the strong work ethic gained from these responsibilities. We raise our calves from a few days of age to approximately 22 to 23 months of age. At this time, the heifers are moved five miles down the road where they are introduced and acclimated to pre-fresh feeding program and pre-fresh group at family friend’s farm where they calve. At birth, the calves are given 2 quarts of colostrum and another 2 quarts within 12 hours of birth. The calves have their navels dipped with iodine and are allowed to stay with their dam long enough to be licked clean and dry. Heifer calves are moved to our place within the next day or two, while bull calves will stay on the farm to be sold as a group with other bull calves. At our place, we have individual pens within the barn for the heifer calves. The pens are bedded with shavings and straw. Generally, we have only four or fewer baby calves at any one time so each can receive individual care and attention. The calves are fed a medicated milk replacer for at least the first two weeks. Feeding consists of two quarts of 20% crude protein, 20% crude fat milk replacer twice a day and the calves are offered a commercial calf starter which consists of corn, protein pellets and molasses. Clean water is available to the calves at all times. The calves are introduced to hay at approximately 6 weeks of age. In our experience, the calves don’t each much hay until after they are weaned so they are given only a very small amount of good quality hay until weaning. The calves are weaned at around ten weeks of age. We usually don’t have trouble with feed intake because of the late weaning age but calves will not be weaned until they are eating at least two pounds of grain or more each day. Shortly after weaning the calves, they are moved to a group pen where will be grouped with size and age appropriate herd mates. These heifers are housed on a bedding pack in a lean-to which connects to the old barn. Depending on the time of the year they are also given access to pasture. The older heifers and yearlings are fed a grain mixture of rolled oats, ground corn and soybeans (two times a day). This feed is approximately 34% protein and contains a mineral mix and Bovatec. Heifers in the group pens are fed the grain mix twice per day with the amount being fed adjusted as they grow. This group also has access to hay on a free choice basis. And pasture during the warm seasons of the year. While I was little, I had always shown an interest in Holsteins and being outside in the barn. I would follow my dad around “helping”
Summer 2009
with chores. Looking back I see that my helping consisted of playing with the kittens, maybe feeding handfuls of grain to some of the calves and fighting with Erin about which one of us should hold the bottle while we fed the babies. I participated in Pee-wee showmanship at my District Holstein Show for a few years before I was old enough to belong to 4-H or our local Holstein club and participate as a junior member. Erin and I would lead our calves down the driveway each day to get the mail under the supervision of my mom. My mom said we were practicing for the show but I now know that Erin and I taught all of the calves how to lead and behave on a halter! I remember that we would lead the calves each day and then have to go in the house to take a nap. When I was in third grade, my dad and mom rewarded my passion for showing and working with the calves and purchased me the first calf to be have me listed as official owner. Initially, I took Holstein ownership a little too far as I thought that I should sleep in the barn next to Marie, but she was a good mannered calf that wasn’t angry that I was always brushing her and fluffing her tail. Deciding who was going to do chores was always a battle at our place. My dad would do the morning chores, but the afternoon chores were left to me and my sisters, Erin and Haley. Since Erin and I were older we would usually trade on and off doing the afternoon chores. As we got older and grew so did our responsibilities on the farm. We have taken over picturing, naming and registering calves. Before I left for college, I also assisted with heat detection and breeding choices. Dad and Grandpa might not actually take my suggestions, especially while I’m at college, but it is nice to know that they listen to my opinions on our cattle. I also assist with veterinarian visits, whether it is dehorning or vaccinating calves or preg checking and writing up health papers, I am there to help. My favorite job on the farm is still breaking calves to lead. I know this seems strange, but breaking calves to lead is the first indication that show season is upon us, and I love it when a well trained heifer glides around the show ring. My love of working on our farm led me to get a job at a neighboring dairy farm. I worked at Cross-Wake Holsteins my junior year of high school. I served as an all around farm hand. I assisted with milking the herd, switching groups of cattle in the barn, giving oxytocin shots, watching for heats and feeding problem calves. This experience taught me how others deal with issues on their farm and that we all experience the same excitement with the birth of a new calf and the same sadness with the death of a favorite cow. I enjoyed the opportunity to work there every day after school, and gained a lot of valuable, firsthand experience of working with the milking herd. Shortly, after my first calf was purchased I Page 11
became a member of the Illinois Junior Holstein Association. In my beginning years as a Junior Holstein member I exhibited my heifers at our Boone Winnebago District Holstein Show. My biggest achievement at this show was in 2006 with Lyonden Hollywood Star. She was named Grand Champion of the Junior Show and Honorable Mention Champion of the Open Show. This was a huge honor. As I got older, I not only exhibited at the Boone-Winnebago show, but also exhibited at the Illinois Championship Junior and Open Holstein Show. There I have received a few Junior All-Illinois recognitions. I really enjoy showing but my favorite Junior Holstein activity is dairy bowl. My first year as a junior member I timidly attended dairy bowl practices and watched in awe as the older kids answered question after questions correctly. I spent most of my free time reading dairy bowl questions and memorizing question after question. You could sometimes find me reading (and by reading I mean looking at the pictures) in Hoard’s Dairyman and Holstein World. After weeks of anticipation, my first Spring Thing in March came. Spring Thing is the Illinois Junior Holstein event where we pick our state dairy bowl teams and dairy jeopardy contestants that will represent Illinois at the National Holstein Convention. I had a lot of fun meeting kids my age from all over the state of Illinois. That first year, sadly, I did not buzz in during any of the rounds that my team participated in. I can remember at the banquet that night watching the top ten junior competitors called and playing in a sudden death round to be on the Illinois State Junior Dairy Bowl team; the team that would then go to the National Holstein Convention. Watching them encouraged me to do my best in the following years and try to finally get a chance to be one of the “chosen”. It took me a few years to gain a spot on a team, but I attended my first National Holstein Convention when I was in 5th grade
and was Illinois Junior Jeopardy contestant in Atlantic City, NJ. Since then, I have only missed one National Holstein Convention and have participated in both the Junior and Senior Dairy Bowl Competitions as well as the Junior and Intermediate Jeopardy Contests. I have shared my love for dairy bowl with many of the other juniors in my state. I have fun sharing my knowledge with them and encouraging them, including my little sister, Haley, and little brother, Matthew, to try to attend the National Holstein Convention. Attending these National Conventions has allowed me to meet many people from all around the country. Meeting these people encouraged me to be a leader in my District and State Holstein Clubs. I have held the offices of President, Vice President and Reporter in the Boone-Winnebago Junior Holstein club. Through these positions I have had the chance to meet and work with the Senior club in my district and learn how to run a small organization. From a young age, I had wanted to be an officer in the Illinois Junior Holstein Association. I received that honor while I was still young. My first position was as Treasurer of the Junior Holstein Association. I learned how to balance a checkbook. I have also held the position of Reporter. My job as reporter was to submit monthly articles about the Junior Association Activities and create the scrapbook that would go to the National Holstein Convention. I was selected to serve as the 2007-2008 Vice President. In this position, I was in charge of setting up the Junior Annual Meeting. But my favorite job was being the Illinois Championship Junior Show Chairman. I was charged with the duty of finding trophy sponsorships and obtaining a judge. Recently I was elected to the position of 2008-2009 Illinois Junior Holstein Association President. I hope that over the next year we will be able to increase membership, implement new fundraisers and have a general increase in junior participation. I have always been an advocate for the dairy

HOLSTEIN ASSOCIATION USA SHOW RING POLICY
The showing of Registered HolsteinSM cattle is an important part of the promotion, merchandising and breeding program of many breeders. Additionally, it is an important part of the program of Holstein Association USA, Inc. to stimulate and sustain interest in breeding Registered HolsteinSM cattle. This relates both to spectators and exhibitors. In this connection, the board of directors of the Holstein Association USA believes it is in the best interest of the breeders of Registered HolsteinSM cattle to maintain a reputation of integrity and to present a wholesome and progressive image of their cattle in the show ring. The Show Ring Policy provides for absolute responsibility for an animal’s condition by an owner, exhibitor, fitter or participant whether or not he or she was actually instrumental in or had actual knowledge of the treatment of the animal in violation of this Show Ring Policy Dairy cattle exhibitors shall at all times deport themselves with honesty and good sportsmanship. It recognizes that there are certain practices in the proper care and management of dairy cattle which are necessary in the course of moving dairy cattle to and between shows that are advisable to keep them in a sound, healthy condition so they might be presented in the show ring in a natural, normal appearance and condition. At all times, Registered HolsteinsSM shall be treated in a humane manner and in accordance with dairy quality assurance practices so as to protect the health, safety and welfare of the livestock and the consuming public. No person shall present for exhibition or exhibit an animal which he or she knows, or has reason to suspect, is affected with or has been exposed to a dangerously contagious or infectious disease, illness or illegal or non-approved use of drugs, medication and/or prohibited substance, or residue.
Summer 2009
The position of Holstein Association USA, Inc. is that all animals presented for exhibition shall be in their natural conformation and structure, free of any alteration or modification by injection or internal or external administration of any substance or by any involvement in unethical fitting. It is recognized that certain practices in the cataloging, handling or presentation of cattle in the show ring are unacceptable. The following practices or procedures are considered unacceptable and defined as being fraudulent and/or unethical in the showing of Registered HolsteinSM cattle: Misrepresenting the age and/or milking status of the animal for the class in which it is shown. Treating the animal, particularly the udder, internally or externally: with an irritant or counter-irritant, using a device to artificially create or enhance the udder crease, using other substances as detected by testing that cause changes in the udder to artificially improve the confirmation. Surgery or unethical insertion of any matter under the skin, or into body cavities, performed to change the natural contour or appearance of the animal’s body, though not to preclude practices required or involved in normal management. Criticizing or interfering with the judge, show management or other exhibitors while in the show ring, or other conduct detrimental to the breed or the show. The following practices and procedures are considered to detract from the image of the show ring when carried to excess and will be taken into consideration by the show judge in placing animals within a class: The maximum allowable length of naturally growing hair anywhere on the topline is not to exceed 1½ inches. Exhibitors will be required to comply with this rule before the animal is allowed to enter the ring. Addition of foreign objects, including but not limited to hair or hair substitutes (except for false switches), cloth or fiber, to change the natural contour or appearance of the animal’s body in prohibited. Unsportsmanlike conduct by exhibitors. Improper fitting practices such as overfilling and over-bagging. Externally sealing the teat end with a preparation that does not harm the animal’s skin is permissible. Natural teat placement will be given preference over artificially positioned teats. The following practices should be encouraged to enhance the image of the show: Establish uniform dress code for exhibitors in the show ring. Recognize good herdsmanship and exhibits in the barn. In keeping with the basic philosophy of the Association, ethics are an individual responsibility of the owner of each animal shown. Violations of these policies are subject to the disciplinary provisions of the Association’s Bylaws.
Enforcement of the Holstein Show Ring Policy
Though the position on setting teats has been modified, it is the position of the Board of Directors that the practice should not be condoned and will be treated with slight to serious discrimination by the judge and show management. It is the responsibility of Holstein show judges at all levels of shows to take appropriate action if any teats are set or in any way manipulated to an unnatural position. While all milking animals must be subject to examination, the judge is instructed to closely examine the top five animals, not only for set teats, but for any other form of tampering requiring discrimination or disqualification. Page 19
General Rules
The Holstein Show Committee and the Illinois Holstein Association Board of Directors reserve the final and absolute right to interpret the rules and regulations of the Shows and will settle and determine all matters, questions, or differences in regard thereto or otherwise arising out of, or in connection with the Shows. In the event a question arises concerning the animal’s age, the Show Committee Chairperson may request that an individual registration certificate be checked at ringside.

If it is suspected that a violation will occur if an animal is shown the Show Chairman will inform the exhibitor that the showing of that animal may result in a violation of the Illinois Holstein Association Show Ring Policy. If the exhibitor decides not to show that animal, no violation will have occurred. iv. All complaints of alleged violations (as is designated in Enforcement Procedures point #2) received by the Show Chairman must be presented in written and signed form to the IHA for review of the Ethics Committee within five (5) days of receiving that notice of alleged violations, with the Ethics Committee to make a decision on the violations within ten (10) days. v.

A junior may substitute one animal not shown at the district show for one animal shown at the district show (Mississippi Valley Juniors must exhibit their animals at their district show following the state show). All Open Show rules except #10 will be adhered to for the Junior Show. 4. All Junior Championship show exhibitors will be responsible for filling out show entry blanks prior to their district show, have each animal shown initialed on the entry blank by a district show official, and return them at the Illinois Championship Junior Show. The initialed entry blanks will be proof of being shown at a district show and thus meeting Rule #3 above. 5. Junior exhibitors must show their own animals. Adult assistance will be permitted where the Junior member cannot properly handle the animal. In such cases the Junior exhibitor must remain with the animal. 6. If a Junior exhibitor cannot be present to show their animal, the Junior may request that an alternate leadsman be permitted to lead their animal. The alternate leadsman must be two or less years older than the owner. An Alternate Leadsman Request Form must be submitted to the Junior Show chairman who will grant approval if there is a valid reason that owner is not exhibiting their own animal.
Showmanship Classes
1. Any Illinois Junior Holstein Association member is eligible to compete. At the Championship Show, entry must be made with the show office and will be listed in the catalog if made by 5 p.m., Wednesday, July 15. 2. Showmanship contestant must be listed as owner on the certificate of the animal shown and date of ownership must be before June 1 for all animals. Exception: If an animal is
deemed not able to be shown (either injured or ill) on the day of the show by the Open and Junior Show Chairmen, and the junior owns no other animals at the show, the junior may borrow another junior’s animal for the showmanship class only. The ill/injured animal forfeits their eligibility to participate in the junior or open show individual class. 3. Each local show will hold showmanship classes. At the local shows and state show, there will be three (3) divisions - one for those 12 years of age and under, and one for those 13 to 16 years of age and one for those 17 years of age and over. (Age determined as of January 1, 2009.) 4. At the championship show, the top three (3) boys and top three (3) girls in each division will receive awards. 5. A Junior may compete in their respective division until the member has won that contest at the state show. A previous state show junior or intermediate division winner may compete in the next higher division.
District News Gateway On March 28, Gateway Club assisted the Clinton County Club with the annual Clinton County Classic. Even with the current economic situation, the sale still turned out to be a success. We would like to thank all the consignors and buyers for their contribution to the sale. The Gateway area classified the end of February; there were many very good two year olds and excellent cows. The breeders were Gueldeners Farm, Schafine Holsteins, Briteside Holsteins, Tyler Carter, Tim-Tam Acres, Circle K Farms, Doll Dairy, and B-J-Grove Holsteins. On March 7, the Gueldener family hosted the barn meeting for the Gateway Holstien Club. About 75 people attended the gathering, despite the gloomy weather. We would like to thank the Gueldener family for their time in hosting the meeting and showing us their farm and cattle. The Gateway Club would like to invite everyone to our district show on July 6, 2009, at the Greenville Fair Grounds. Our condolences go out to the family of Lloyd Woker, who passed away in March. May has come and gone and we hope everyone is done with field work the sooner the better. We wish everyone a safe and successful planting season and see you all in July at the State Show. Tammie Siebert & Michelle Clanton
Mississippi Valley Tom and Kathy Neisen, Senteka, hosted the Mississippi Valley Holstein Club Barn Meeting on April 4. There were around 25 members in attendance. Marissa Edwards, Aaron Weiman,

Emily Lyons DJM Story (continued from page 11)
industry. My biggest honor in the Illinois Holstein Association, to date, was being named the 2007-2008 Illinois Holstein Dutchess. This was a title that I knew I wanted since I was little. During the contest, I felt that I was a qualified candidate, but the other contestants were so poised and gave amazing speeches. I was extremely surprised in being named the Illinois Holstein Dutchess. I made a point to attend as many Illinois Holstein events as possible. This was an invaluable experience. It gave me an awesome chance to meet many senior members throughout the state that I would not have otherwise had the opportunity to meet. I cannot say that I am one of those people that has always known what they want to do with my life. I am currently attending the University of Illinois. I am majoring in Animal Sciences with a Food Animal Science Concentration. I am planning to finish my undergraduate degree in the Spring of 2011. I then plan to attend law school. While at law school, I plan to concentrate in Agricultural and Environmental Law. With my background in this I hope to either be working in the law department at a large dairy corporation or working for the Government in the USDA or as a lobbyist assisting producers with issues such as stable milk prices and realistic requirements for expansion. I know that no matter wherever my career takes me I will continue to promote the dairy industry and Holstein cattle. I plan on always remaining involved in the dairy industry. Despite the unending urban sprawl and decreasing amount of farms, I want agriculture to be a part of my future. Just like my father could not stay away from the farm and live in town, I know that I will somehow be directly involved in the Registered Holstein industry.

Our district show is July 30, at the Adams County Fairgrounds. Dennis Sorrill, Sky View Acres, and crew hosted the area Dairy Judging contest. There were FFA students representing schools in Sections 11 and 13, and 4-H members from Pike, Adams, and McDonough counties. Jeff Thorman was the official judge. Lora Schmiedeskamp married Robert Unis on May 9. Her parents are Herb and Jayne Schmiedeskamp, Sun-Hi Holsteins. Members of the Western Illinois Dairy Promotion Committee are working on the annual dairy banquet to be held the end of June. Hope everyone has a great summer, good luck to those who are showing, and God Bless until next time. Beth Weas Cash
Stephenson Over 200 people gathered for the Stephenson County Holstein Club barn meeting, held March 22, at Mil-R-Mor Farm, Orangeville. Despite the cold, rainy day, Holstein enthusiasts from Stephenson and the surrounding counties still made it out to the farm to look at the cows and facilities. MilR-Mor is currently milking about 130 cows and has a BAA of 110.0. Meeting-goers also got a chance to catch up with friends, enjoy a tasty lunch, and hear announcements about the club’s upcoming activities. A delicious array of baked goods were then auctioned off to help support junior activities. At the conclusion of the day’s activities, attendees had an opportunity to win a choice of over 30 terrific door prizes from many generous sponsors. Special thanks also go to Lanark Ag for sponsoring the meal, and to Mid-west Dairyman’s Co-op for providing the milk. Lorilee Schultz

Kyle Mitchell Memorial Award Presented At this year’s Annual Spring Thing meeting, the first annual Kyle Mitchell Memorial Awards were presented to three Illinois Junior Holsteins members, in memory of late Junor member, Kyle Mitchell of Winnebago. Below are excerpts of the presentation, prepared by Junior Advisor, Melissa Irwin. “It is both a pleasure and a challenge for me to introduce a new award being offered to IJHA members. This past year our association has lost one of its favorite members. In response to that the juniors at the fall meeting decided to start a new award in memory of Kyle Mitchell. At the December committee meetings this was discussed further and it was decided that a traveling plaque would be awarded as well as something for the recipient to keep. A special thanks goes out to Becky Meier, Lorilee Schultz, Brian Olbrich, and Kathy Miller for assisting me with the development of the award and the criteria by which the nominees would be judged and for nominating five well rounded young people for the award. First, lets remember Kyle. The Mitchell family lives in Winnebago, Ill., and they have a herd of 110 cows and they farm 1600 acres. The family has been very active in Holstein and other dairy related organizations for many years. Unfortunately, last July Kyle and his father Mike died from Methane poisoning in the manure pit. It was indeed a tragedy. Something so horrible should not happen to such wonderful people. So let Kyle and Mike's death just simply remind us to be careful on the farm and also to not take life for granted. With much determination Jan, John, and Aaron are continuing to dairy. The Mitchell's participated in many activities as a family. They had the opportunity to spend time together at a number of National Conventions and Mike and Jan love to be there to cheer on their boys. Dairy bowl and Dairy Jeopardy were a favorite activity for the Mitchell
family. In 2007, Kyle received an award for having a cow that produced over 200,000 lbs of milk, what an accomplishment! Kyle was always very dedicated. He was a good student, athlete, band member and had a wonderful personality. One of his favorite actives was dairy bowl. What a competitor he was. He was dedicated to studying and preparing for contests and was very knowledge and quick on the buzzer. It was fun to watch him as he was confident and knowledgeable. The committee who put the criteria together for this award really tried to focus on Kyle and the attributes that made him an outstanding member of the junior Holstein organization. *Encompasses complete junior career *Fully participates in activities *Mentors younger members Kyle's mom, Jan, mentioned to me that Kyle didn't care who you were but as long as you played his game whether it be soccer, band or dairy bowl, he accepted you. How true that was. He always welcomed new members into dairy bowl and made them feel a part of the group. One of the biggest focuses of the committee was on Kyle's positive attitude. Everyone who knew him knew he had a very positive outlook on life. He used that positive attitude to be a good leader. Although he didn't hold any state junior office he was involved in many activities like Spring Thing, Conventions, showing, and fundraising. Kyle indeed had many attributes which showed his genuine character. Indeed he was a well rounded individual. But, one thing we all know for sure was the Kyle could sure be a character. He had a way of making people laugh and helping contestants to relax when the competition got tough. We are all better for having known Kyle and he will be missed. Tonight we honor him by establishing the Kyle Mitchell Outstanding Junior Memorial
Award and naming our first receipient. The award this year goes to Kelly Sheehan of Huntley, Ill. Yes, she is no stranger to any of you. You have seen her at nearly every junior activity that she could possibly be at and she has exhibited qualities that make her worthy of being given this award. Kelly has been a valuable member of the IJHA by being involved in a variety of activities. She has exhibited leadership and has been willing to participate in a full range of activities. Kelly has just finished her career as a Junior member. During this time her experience came from Mil-R-Mor farm. In May, she graduated from U of I with a degree in Animal Science and has a job lined up at Agri-King in Fulton, Ill., where she will be working in the lab. Kelly, we hope that you will continue to be involved in the Holstein industry. We know that you will use the skills you have gained through your many activities to influence the dairy industry.
Kelly Sheehan, recipient of the Kyle Mitchell Memorial Award
Kyle Mitchell Dairy Bowl Awards Presented at Spring Thing The Boone-Winnebago Holstein Club has also established an award in memory of Kyle Mitchell. The award will be presented to the high junior and senior dairy bowl contestants, based upon their written test score, competition results and final round competition. Justin Crull, Poplar Grove, Ill., received the Junior Dairy Bowl Award. Chris Kollmann, New Baden, Ill., was the recipient of the Senior Award. Congratulations to both gentlemen on their accomplishments! Page 37

2009 Spring Thing The 2009 Spring Thing was held February 27-March 1, 2009, at the Hawthorne Suites, Champaign, Ill. Approximately 70 junior and adult members attended the event. The Dairy Bowl, Dairy Jeopardy and Speech competitions were held Saturday, February 28, 2009. Congratulations to the BooneWinnebago teams, who won both the junior and senior divisions. After the awards banquet Saturday evening we held an ice cream social followed by a new event, Ag Olympics. Junior members divided into teams consisting of four people and competed against each other. The first event was a wheelbarrow race. Once the junior reached the end, they had to eat ice cream as fast as they could then wheel their partner back to the starting point. Then you had to catch several
pieces of candy in your mouth. The third event consisted of getting spun around and making it to the other side of the room, and once you reached the other side you jumped in a sack back. Then you had to chug a considerable amount of milk. The olympics were definitely exciting and fun for all the participants! Thank you to Grace Shanks for organizing the event. Good luck to the dairy bowl teams, dairy jeopardy, and speech contestants that will represent us at the 2009 Holstein Convention in California! Another Congratulations to everyone who graduated from high school and college this year. Best of Luck. I hope your all as excited as I am for show season! See you all at the shows soon.

Meeting Minutes
The 2009 business meeting of the Illinois Junior Holstein Association was held on the last day of Spring Thing, March 1, 2009. Emily Lyons called the meeting to order at 9:26 a.m. Angie Boesche approved the November 2008 Annual Meeting minutes that were printed in the December issue of the Illinois Holstein Herald. Motion carried. Next were the officer reports. The reporter, Colleen Ziller, asked for pictures and Justin Crull gave the treasurer’s report. It was approved as presented and attached by Miranda Kollman and seconded by Jessica Crull. Motion carried. The vice president, Haley Lyons, and the secretary, Sarah Sheehan, were also introduced. The advisor reports were postponed until after the old business. Next came the presentation of the Illinois Holstein Dutchess, Melinda Kollman. She welcomed everybody to Spring Thing, congratulated everybody who participated in the contests that weekend, and invited all girls eligible to participate in the Dutchess contest on July 15, 2009. The first item of old business was the Senior Holstein Convention silent auction
and Embryo Shuffle. The silent auction at the senior convention raised $1,135. Grace Shanks presented and raffled a vest for those who donated money and Emily Lyons won it. Also, everybody signed thank-you cards for donors, for the vest, and for Accelerated Genetics who donated $1,100. There was then an announcement that t-shirts are for sale for $15 dollars. Grace Shanks then gave a Spring Thing report and said the Saturday night activity went well, the winners were Chris Kollman, Curt Thole, Connor Erbsen, and Lane Heinzmann. In new business, it was stated that the workers’ auction would be held at PDCA calf sale on April 11, 2009, and people were invited to come and support the Juniors. The national convention was discussed next. The team will be flying and Brian Olbrich talked about the details and costs. It is going to cost about $15,000 in flying and sleeping. The suggested price that the juniors pay was $250 and it was said that we need more fundraisers and ideas. Discussion followed about raising the cost of convention per Junior. Chris Summer 2009

Kollman moved that the Juniors pay $300 for the California trip, Aaron Mitchell seconded it. Motion carried. The banner was discussed next and Brianna Sheehan, Meredith Ziller, and Kaylen Miller volunteered and it was offered that they could bring it to a state practice and the team would help. Haley Lyons then talked about the state show. Ideas for awards were asked for and Grace Shanks stated that she liked the idea for coats, but you wouldn’t get them the same day. Melissa Irwin suggested a coat place in Bloomington, but still the problem arose of not having them right away at the show. State Fair was then discussed. The Juniors were asked if anyone was interested in a pizza party, especially since the Juniors don’t really have a chance to get together otherwise. Chris Kollman agreed that it would be a good idea.
Emily Lyons asked if anyone would be interested in football; that is what the Juniors used to do. Chris Kollman also asked about a fitting clinic. He said he will head the committee and he and Emily will decide about pizza. Emily Lyons invited all the Juniors to the annual state Junior meeting and said that we really need people to come! It is important to be there; many decisions are made at that meeting. Also, the DJM and YDJM books are due then. The juniors were reminded about the awards they can apply for; they are due November 1 for the state awards and May 1 for national awards. There are also scholarships available. Emily Lyons asked if the dates for the meeting worked, it is currently November 1. She asked if having a speaker would help increase attendance. Melissa Irwin agreed that it would be a good thing to do. Emily asked for
ideas and volunteered to do it. The 2010 Spring Thing was then discussed. Sarah Sheehan will chair and her committee will consist of Colleen Ziller, Angie Boesche, and Matt Drendel. Mary Olbrich thought it would be a good idea to have it in Bloomington and Justin Crull suggested moving it to the second couple weeks in February. It was asked if ADSA conflicted but it was decided that it was not a big concern. The date was decided to be either the last weekend in February or the first weekend in March, the committee would decide. Awards were then given out to the State Dairy Bowl team members and thank you’s given to the moderators, coaches, and everyone who came. Matt Drendel moved to adjourn the meeting, Crystal Rote seconded. Motion carried. Respectively Submitted, Sarah Sheehan
