Holstein/Jersey judge was top vote getter. Brown Swiss/Guernsey – 3rd vote getter & a more colored breed person. Butter Sculpture – looking into selling the butter sculpture in the Sale of Champions. Some dairy kids have won the scholarship. Dairy breeders need to contact Steve Leaker, commissioner, to encourage dairy products in Sale of Champions. Banners not sponsored by fair this year. Decided to leave up to board if Assoc. will sponsor for this year. Dairy Hall: Awards given February 5th, Columbia. Awards are as follows: Dairy Leader-Randy Mooney, Rogersville; Distinguished Dairy Cattle Breeder- Mike & Bobbi Rauch, Marionville; Meritorious Service-Mike Grave, St. Louis; Pioneer Leader – F. Gale Stevenson and Melvin Kenley both for work in AI industry. Going to suggest that move the awards presentation during the Spring Show. The mural artist passed away this past year from cancer and there still is some painting that needs to be done. National Director: Kate Geppert announces new Holstein Field Rep is Callie Unruh, Walton, KS. Her area is MO, IL, AR, she has recently moved to southern IL. Will elect replacements for Gordie Cook, John Kalmay & Bill Peck. One At-Large open – interested contact Michelle Ramaeker. Year end numbers are in and they are down and accounts receivables are up. There was a base change and changes in TPI and New Merit formulas for January proof run with more emphasis on Health & Fertility traits. Final PTAT score reduced to try and have impact on stature. Genomics – working on new smaller chip that would cost $40 to run, might be out this year. Staff working to bundle tests. Holstein working on Price Stabilization plan. Most likely have regional meeting next year in conjunction with state meetings. Holstein Field Rep: Callie Unruh has firm territory of MO, IL, AR and recently moved to Jerseyville, IL.

Melissa Kron will assist with railbird. Straw available for $3/bale. Judge, Lucas Clanton, IL and entry deadline March 13th. NW will have donation calf. Univ. will donate hay & straw for calf sale. Might be a small issue w/parking on Fri. but should be OK. Need to let local 4-H/FFA & Ag Ed teams know of judging contest. Recommending assoc. hire 1 fitter for Fri & Sat assuming costs $175/day+room+travel. Allow for their services to be hired out by show attendees for a per item cost (ie: topline fee, body clip fee, etc). This payable to association to help offset costs. Suggestion – people can reserve services ahead of time. Put something on entry form if want services. Then could look into 2 if need be. Al B. moves for board to entertain cost of 1 fitter with additional individuals at the discretion of the executive committee. Matt Day 2nd. Passes. Look into combining Spring Show with Dairy Profit Seminars next year. MDA stated that maybe they could add a profit seminar in March in addition to the ones in February. Mention of inviting the Jerseys to join Spring Show as long as they accept prorated expenses for the show given number of head that participate. Show: No show committee members were present. Matt Day proposed changing All-MO to a point system. State Fair=20; Spring Show=15; District show=10. District points only received in home district. It was discussed that NE gets two sets of points off of one show. It would be unfair to have a bonus point for making all three shows. Eric Ling is going to keep track of the points. Matt Day moves to change All-MO to a point system. Joe McClellan 2nd. Motion Carried (not unanimous). Futurity: Sandy Thornhill reported Mary Angelo wants to step down as chairman, will ask Becky Durst to chair. Had a good turnout for Futurity only this fall and lots of food and fun, even though very cold. Sale: Eric L. announced Oct 16th date for fall sale in Marshfield. He would like to ask Dairy Agenda for a sale proposal containing 20 choice lots and 50-60 live lots. Choice lots receive 5% commission. Planning on improving the quality of the sale and positioning MO for the national sale. Board will revisit in March when proposal is obtained. Know What You Buy sale – last year had an issue with a breeder not paying transfer fees. Propose PAGE 21
a flat rate of $20/head+$10/hd transfer fee to be taken out up front. Also to allow open, bred and 1st or 2nd stage lactating animals (dry or milking) to the sale. Sale to be April 27, Springfield Stockyards. Dallas C. moves to accept sale proposals. Brad Groves 2nd. Passes.

Two have chairs: Sale-Larry Wright, chair; Tony Whitehead, Eric Ling, others; Finance-Jerry King & Nikki Whitehead co-chairs, Noel Boyd, David Buckmann, others. Other Chairs will be finalized in the next few months. Plan to have a low level table display in MN. 100th Anniversary Book: John Underwood has worked the last 7 months gathering information. He has established a rough timeline and table of contents. Goal this year to find herds no longer in business and get herd histories. Asking people in districts to help get info. Discussed need to buy a scanner. He can use Jodi’s laptop when he travels. John would like to have people take over sections they are interested in and do the writing. Janice Perry will work on the junior section. Some information is coming in but slow, breeders need to go over lists to make sure complete. Need to have info ready to print 2 years from now. Could be 300-400 pages. Barry offered the University’s scanner for use. Kate going to find out if Holstein will run some lists & see what cost is. Juniors: Bailee Whitehead gave Jr report.
