On the Cover: Fun in the California sun was had by all attending the 2009 National Holstein Convention in Sacramento, California. Even though the temperature soared over 100 daily, we did not experience the Midwest humidity, so the high temperatures were tolerable! A strong contingent of Holstein enthusiasts traveled from Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma. Unfortunately no delegates from Arkansas or Texas were able to make the meetings.

Missouri State Fair Dairy Shows Dedicated to the Wilson Family
The 2009 Missouri State Fair Dairy Shows were dedicated to the Mike & Tina Wilson family of Neosho, MO. The Wilson have been faithful exhibitors at the Missouri State Fair. Their farm display is always a treat for other exhibitors and fair attendees. Their display and attention to detail has garnered four herdsman awards. They have also exhibited quality cattle. In 2008, Kim gained Supreme Champion honors of the 4-H/FFA Show with her Guernsey, Mil-Wil Tiller Malibu. In both 2002 and 2005, Shannon showed the Grand Champion FFA Jersey. Also in 2004, Kim exhibited the Grand Champion FFA Holstein. The Wilson family has been successful in the Junior Dairy Judging Contest held at the Fair. Kim and Scott have taken top honors in the contest. In addition to Mike and Tina and their children, Shannon, Kim and Scott, friends Rich Morgan and Sara Wilson have been integral parts of the Mi-Wil family. At the Fair, the family shows Holstein, Jersey and Guernsey cattle. MSHN, September 2009 - PAGE 3
2009 has been a rough year for everyone involved in the dairy business. With the milk prices so low, it has been very hard for anyone to just break even. But the last couple months I have been impressed with the resiliency of the dairy farmer, especially the Registered Holstein breeder. The National Holstein Convention in California drew good crowds and even though financially it has been tough, the adults and juniors present were positive and committed to the future of the dairy industry. One of the biggest discussions at Convention was the proposed Dairy Stabilization Program. It was endorsed by the delegates present Your Holstein staff and board has spent considerable time the last month finalizing a plan that will be submitted to Congress. Another positive time was the Missouri State Fair. Even in these challenging economic times, the number of dairy cattle shown was stable. Other state fairs and late summer shows are also reporting solid numbers of cattle. The exhibitors at Sedalia were upbeat and glad to be around other dairy producers from around the state. It was evident that the general public is very interested in the dairy industry. Over 1,000 adults and kids ‘milked’ a portable cow during the first three days of the Fair! Kate Geppert

Holstein Enthusiasts Have Fun in the California Sun
The capital city of Sacramento played host to the 2009 National Holstein Convention. The high temperatures of 107 degrees did not deter Holstein members from across our region enjoying all that California had to offer. In addition to the planned convention activities, many side trips to San Francisco, Napa Valley and Yellowstone National Park were highlights that won’t be soon forgotten. The Dairy Price Stabilization Plan was an important topic. Dr. Robert Cropp, Professor Emeritus and Dairy Marketing Economist, University of Wisconsin-Madison made a presentation to all attendees detailing the plan. The Holstein board’s Milk Marketing Committee and Dr. Cropp then answered questions. Genomics was another hot topic. A special early bird session featuring a panel of breeders and industry representatives was a popular feature. Panelists included Angie Coburn, Dairy Procurement Manager for Genex Cooperative; Greg Coyne, Coyne Farms, Avon, N.Y.; Dr. Marj Faust, Director of External Research for ABS Global; Bob LaSalle, Slo-Train Holsteins, Firebaugh, CA.; Pat Maddox, RuAnn & Maddox Dairies, Riverdale, CA.; and Bill Peck, Welcome Stock Farm, Schuylerville, N.Y. There was a wide variety of participation with genomics among the panelists. Some breeders have fully embraced the technology and others have more of a wait and see attitude. Genex has been very progressive in marketing genomic young sires, while ABS has been more cautious. During the general session, a resolution was presented asking the AI studs to allow Holstein breeders the ability to genomic test their own bulls. After much discussion, the resolution passed. The bylaw proposal which would allow the Board of Directors to establish rules for the revocation of a prefix due to non-use was approved. At the board meeting following the annual meeting, the board approved the following policy. A breeder may request to permanently retire a prefix for $100. After 20 years of non-use, the board may consider revoking a prefix. At that time, the board will either retire the prefix permanently or revoke the breeder’s right to the prefix. Larry Tande of Medford, MN was elected to serve a two year term as president of Holstein USA. Tande, the previous vice-president, follows Doug Maddox of Riverdale, CA who completed his tenure as President. Selected as the new VicePresident was Chuck Worden of Cassville,NY. Elected to the Board of Directors were Bill Wright, Holden, UT; Jonathan Lamb, Oakfield, NY; Robert Nigh, Viroqua, WI; and Hank van Exel, Lodi, CA.
Holstein Launches Adult Membership Contest
With a goal of welcoming 1,000 new adult members to Holstein USA, an adult membership drive was announced in June. The contest will run May 1, 2009 to May 1, 2010 and the ‘Total Members’ number from the official ‘Delegate Allowed’ list will determine each state’s increase in membership. The state with the largest increase in total number of members will be recognized at the 2010 National Convention in Minnesota. A new membership application and promotional flyer is being developed and will soon be available at www.holsteinusa.com. On the application, there will be a place for applicants to put a person’s name that referred them to join. Referrals will be tracked to recognize those successfully recruiting new members. The campaign especially targets graduating junior members, detailing the first steps they can take to become active as an adult.
Jan and Jeff King of Kings-Ransom Farm, LLC, Schuylerville, N.Y., were honored as Holstein Association USA’s 2009 Distinguished Young Holstein Breeders. Robert Schauf, Barron, WI. was chosen as the recipient of Holstein Association USA’s 2009 Elite Breeder Award. The award recognizes a Holstein breeder who bred outstanding animals, making a notable contribution to the advancement of the Holstein breed in the United States. Dennis Wolff, Millville, Pa., was selected as the 2009 recipient of Holstein Association USA’s Distinguished Leadership Award. This award recognizes an individual who has made a career of providing outstanding and unselfish leadership for the betterment of the dairy industry. Recognized at the convention as 40 year Holstein members were Harold, Anthony & Herbert Boedeker, Elsberry, MO; Clejo King, Clever, MO: and Gene Knackstedt, Inmnan, KS; At the board meeting prior to Convention, a recommendation from the Show Committee was approved that would create a preliminary list of nominees qualified to judge all National Holstein shows, including Junior shows. Once finalized by the board, the Holstein Association National Judges List would become effective in 2010. The board approved the creation and design of an Official Holstein International Pedigree which expresses crude protein and milk production in kilograms.

Missouri Needs Your History Help! The Missouri Holstein Association is compiling a book detailing the history of Missouri Holsteins. Dr. John Underwood has taken the lead with this project and is looking for information. They are trying to make this as detailed as possible and is quite of bit of missing information. There will be a category highlighting some of the top cows in the state. They would like the name and any information you may have about an animal that qualifies in the following category: Gold Medal Dams 200,000 lb Cows 4E and Higher Cows Cows EX-94 points and up Dr. Underwood has gone through old Missouri Holstein Journals, Mid-States Holstein News and many old Holstein Worlds, but all animals may not have been identified, especially GMD and 200,000 cows. They plan to include any animal that was bred by a Missouri breeder, even if they have been sold to another breeder and that record or classification was made in another state. For Example: Char-Land Fury Penny was classified 4E in California. She was bred by Charles Moreland, Harrisonville, and owned part of her life by Boyd Brothers and the College of the Ozarks. She will be listed in the 4E and higher category, even though she was not in Missouri when she was scored 4E. Please email or mail your information to Dr. John Underwood, 521 South Ave, Sparta, MO 65753 or montvic_246@ hotmail.com
