Clyde hill Farms was owned and operated by the Benedictine Convent of Perpetual Adoration founded in 1875 by a small group of sisters from switzerland. A large herd of purebred holstein cows provided all the dairy products for the institution. nothing could have been further from the sisters’ minds than to raise a fine herd of cattle for the sake of gaining fame. had it been left to their choice, the herd would never have come to public notice. But, some outstanding breeders, after seeing the herd, urged the owners that they owed it to the holstein breed to let others benefit by giving them an opportunity to learn more about the herd and also to improve their own herds through foundation stock. in 1948 Clyde hill Farms had 750 acres that provided all the milk, pork, beef, eggs and vegetables for the institution. During the convention a young man, by the name of horace Backus was in attendance at the open house and recalls his impression of Clyde hill and the cattle he saw that day.

At the same time, it seemed as though the younger heifers, 1st and 2nd calf, did not appear to measure up to the standards of the older generation. it should be remembered that i was just emerging from my teens and never been to see a great many herds at that time. As the years rolled by, i became aware that this is true in most herds—the older cows are the “survivors”, the ones that were good enough and strong enough to remain in the herd. the youngsters were immature and the poorer ones had not been weeded out yet as had happened many years ago to the older cows.
those great older cows were some of the greatest i have ever seen and that memory helped when we sold the Clyde hill royal daughters in the osborndale Dispersal in 1957. the top female in that these four cows undoubtedly impressed horace Backus and others that at- sale was by royal. tended the open house.

Inside: Oklahoma State Sale Results Southern Spring National Results Missouri Spring Show Results All-Texas Show Results On the cover Hoff-Hill Dur-Emory Sassy EX-94 proved to be the belle of the ball at the 2014 Southern Spring National capturing Grand Champion titles in both the Junior and Open Shows. In addition, she was the best bred and owned animal in each show for Adam Hoff, Windthorst, Texas. Congratulations to Lora Wright, Verona, Missouri! Lora was selected as one of the Young Distinguished Junior Holstein Members by Holstein USA. She will be recognized at the National Holstein Convention this June in Iowa. Lora is the daughter of Larry and Jodi Wright. Our thoughts are prayers are with the Burdette and Stiles family as Reese and Patricia recover from their injuries. Mrs. Stiles truly exhibited unconditional love as she risked her own health to ensure that her granddaughter was able to escape the fire. The dairy industry has really banded together to support the family through donations and help. It makes you proud to be a part of such an industry. We hope that both of these ladies will continue to improve and will be back home with their family soon.

From the Field Greetings from the field! June is Dairy Month! It is great to have the opportunity to come to you through this column with the positive market conditions we are currently experiencing in the dairy industry. This is a good time for those of us involved in the dairy business to thank the people involved with dairy promotion, the farmers that make their farms available for tours, and the dairy advocate bloggers, who do an excellent job of giving real facts about dairy farming to the public. I have travelled through much of Missouri and Illinois recently and the corn crop looks good, especially considering the late spring we had. As I write this, the June area classification program is about to begin in Arkansas and Missouri and I’m excited for many of the herds I’ve been working with, including some that are classifying for just their first or second time this month. I also have been helping several farms take advantage of the current economic conditions to catch up their registry work. There are several economical options using HAUSA programs, including Holstein Complete, to catch up ID work. For any farms that are interested doing some catching up and I haven’t yet contacted you, don’t hesitate to call, text, or email me and we’ll find an option that works for you. Jenny is also happy to assist those of you in the southwest area. I’m sure with today’s internet, many of you have heard the story of the farmer and the mule, but I wanted to share it with you again. “This old farmer had a mule that fell into an old well. The water wasn’t very deep, so the mule was able to stand on the bottom. After assessing the situation the farmer sympathized with the mule but decided that neither the mule nor the well was worth saving. The farmer called his neighbors together and told them what had happened and enlisted them to help haul dirt to bury the old mule in the well and put him out of his misery. Initially the mule was hysterical, but as the farmer and his neighbors continued to shovel dirt on his back, the mule soon quieted down. After a few shovels, the farmer noticed that every time a shovel load of dirt landed on his back the mule would shake it off and step up. The mule continued to do this, with shovel after shovel of dirt hitting his back. Shake it off and step up...Shake it off and step up... Shake it off and step up. It wasn’t long before the old mule, battered and exhausted, stepped over the wall of the well. What had seemed would bury him actually saved him because of the manner in which he handled his adversity.” I’m sure many dairymen can relate to the mule and his situation after the past 4-5 years of the dairy business, but more importantly, like the mule, I feel the resiliency of dairy farmers and how they are able to handle adversity is what sets them apart from the rest of agriculture. For this, I salute you all for Dairy Month – and don’t forget, July is Ice Cream Month! In closing, I want to encourage everyone in the Mid-States area to attend the Missouri Field Day July 18 at Larry and Jodi Wright’s new farm. They have an excellent facility for animal care and the cows show it! Come out for a day of fellowship and see the Wrightvale herd. Tim

Welcome to summer! Unfortunately for us that also means the humidity has shown it’s ugly face. Hopefully everyone has received some beneficial rainfall and avoided any severe storms. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Stiles and Burdette families of Pennsylvania as they are recovering from the tragic fire that left Reese Burdette and her grandmother Patricia Stiles badly burned. Contact information for the families is available on the Dairyagendatoday website. We would also like to thank the Page family of Missouri for the donation calf they are selling in the Page-Crest dispersal. This goes to show that being part of Dairy means you are truly part of one big extended family. I hope as many of you as possible will be able to make it to Convention this year. It is in Dubuque, Iowa the last week of June. This is a great opportunity to get involved with your Association. It is also a great way to meet old friends and discover some new ones you never knew you had. It promises to be a strong sale as always and will be a good way to see what new and exciting things are coming from HAUSA. I would like to thank you for your support the last three years on the Board and look forward to serving you for three more years. I always try my best to keep every dairy in mind when issues come up and you are welcome to call any time. Thanks Roy Roy

KDA Names New Executive Director
After working in the dairy industry for 22 years, Stephanie Eckroat has been named the Executive Director of the Kansas Dairy Association. She was the manager of the Fort Hays State University Dairy Farm for 17 years and managed the cows and taught classes during that time. In addition, she created a mobile milking display that traveled around Western Kansas teaching children how to milk a cow. This mobile display helped children learn the importance of farming and agriculture as well as talking about nutrition. For 17 years, Eckroat was in charge of the milking demonstrations at the Kansas State Fair. This gave children as well as adults the opportunity to ask a “real” dairy farmer questions about cows and milk. The demonstrations were a direct collaboration between Kansas Dairy, the State Fair, Fort Hays State University and Eckroat. She completely loved doing them and will miss them terribly. According to her, “The opportunity to with Kansas Dairy gave me the connection to working for them now and for that I am so grateful.” Eckroat lives on a small farm in Victoria where she is 4-H leader for the Bits N Spurs. In addition her family is very active in their church Parish. MSHN, June 2014- PAGE 7

Day: Our heifer that was Junior Champion (Aragorn Made you Look) is a Patience Sholine Contender out of a VG-86 Dundee and then an excellent Ransdell Christine Conclusion followed by an EX-92 Dreamstreet Odyssey that is the foundation of my current herd. All but 4 animals here trace to her maternally or paternally or both to the Odyssey daughter. Our winning junior and senior best threes at Stillwater were all direct maternal descendants. Made you look is serviced to Scratchwell Rooney-Red who is also descended from our Odyssey cow Denbigh: Radine Damion Margie-ET born 3-16-08 and is VG-87. Margie is a daughter of the Goldwyn Model cow. The University purchased embryos out of Model from the Borman family. We have attempted flushing Margie, but with no success. She does have a 2yr old Krusader daughter. Margie’s best record to date is 3-8 365 25,147M 3.6F 912 3.2P 804. Foremost Dairy Research Center is home to 177 Holsteins and 28 Guernsey cows. The Holstein herd average is 23,898M 921F and 728P. Full time employees include Richard Myers and Grey Battershell as milking staff, Joe Ancell handles repairs, Eric Adkins Research/Herdsman and John Denbigh Farm Manager. As the case with most University herds, we not only care for the cattle, but we are involved with Teaching, Research and Extension activities. We also try to be involved in community service events. Hoff: Hoff-Hill Dur-Emory Sassy EX-94 is a double homebred animal. Her sire is a Durham son from an EX-93 Emory. Her dam is an unscored Alamo daughter. Sassy calves back every 11 months and has records around 30,000M. She has a December 2013 Atwood daughter that we are pretty excited about. Koster: Klassens Sanchez Trixie was bought at the Klassen’s dispersal sale as a bred heifer. She is a Sanchez out of a Sky Fame out of a Progress. She calved twice with two bull calves. We did not flush her. She scored 91 at 3.10 years. Rokey: ON- Cloudnine Absolut 136-ET, we gave her the name Camry. Camry is owned in a four way partnership between (Dwight and Anita Rokey, Leigha Rokey, Jody Goodman, and Hannah Stiener. She is an Absolute Daughter from EX 92 Starfire from EX 92 Kite Caramac. Fresh at 2-4 her last test she had 90lbs with a 4.4 PAGE 8 - MSHN, June 2014
Hoff-Hill Dur-Emory Sassy
Radine Damion Margie-ET
fat 3.2 protein. Camry freshened in with a Redburst bull. We have one pregnancy. (GoldChip) She is serviced to Armani with plans to IVF her once after she is pregnant. Camry was purchased at the Oklahoma State Sale in 2013 as a bred heifer. We acquired her dam from Devon Benfer after he had flushed her as a heifer. Camry is a maternal sister to the 2013 All-American red and white milking yearling. Rokeyroad Benfer Redman Cutie-ET. What are some of her past show winnings? Day: Made you look was second last year at Stillwater (HM Junior Champion) and junior champion at the 2013 MO state fair. This is only her third show appearance. Denbigh: Margie was Reserve Intermediate Champion of the 2011 Spring show and Reserve Grand for the District that year. She has been more successful in the show ring as a cow than she was as a heifer. Hoff: Sassy has been very successful in the show ring. We began showing her as a 3-Yr Old. She was All-Texas Sr. 3-Yr Old and Intermediate Champion. In 2013, she was All-Texas 5-Yr Old and Grand Champion of the Junior Show. This January just fresh, she was Res. Grand Champion at the Southwest Regional Holstein Show in Fort Worth. Koster: She was 1st 4 year old at the Ft. Worth Stock Show in January 2014 Rokey: The only previous time Camry was shown was the Kansas State Fair where she was the winning Fall Yearling last fall. What are some of her best traits? Day: Her Feet and legs, just try to race her! Denbigh: Her best trait besides her disposition is the deep rib!! Hoff: Her best trait is how easy she is to get ready. With her size and scale, all you have to do to get her ready is let her put milk in her udder. Koster: Her best trait is her dairy strength Rokey: Her overall completeness is what makes her special, but I’d say her frame with her openness and front end. Do genomics have a place in the show ring? Day: I’m sure they do, on the type side they identify tall and skinny which does well in the show ring. I’m not really that knowledgeable on all that, the bulls change so fast that I no longer know pedigrees till they get 3-4 generations back. Denbigh: If the question is; should ge-
nomic numbers determine placing in the show ring, than at this time my answer would be no. Hoff: I hope so. We use genomics. It’s been predicting type pretty good. Atwood was a genomic bull and look how they are turning out. Koster: Genomics do have a place. They are probably more accurate for type than production Rokey: Yes I think they can. A lot of times we think genomics as more on the index side but it also can be helpful with type and the show world. Do you breed for the show ring? What type of bloodlines work best? Day: I breed for DPR followed by components and then strength. I pay no attention to current showring or genomic fads. Our herd is currently bred to Deep-Valley Contender-Red, Sir Browndale Fire-Red and Scratchwell Rooney-Red. Denbigh: We don’t breed for show animals per say. We may try to breed some of our better cows for a March or September calf for example, if we have the opportunity to do so. I would say the Durham bloodlines have had the biggest impact. Hoff: Not really. We breed for good cows and use bulls with good cow families behind them. We hope they might make it to the showring. We’ve had good luck with Durham and Emory bloodlines. Koster: We breed for functional type, not the show ring. Durham and Goldwyn bloodlines work better than Shottle for the show ring. Rokey: Yes I do breed for the show ring. But I like to keep plenty of milk in the pedigree. And every now and then throw in an index bull on the show cows. Durham, Goldwyn, have worked real well. Is there a bull that you feel has been overlooked? Day Entire bloodlines have been left behind that may have had some useful functions. The breed is in need of some strength and fertility injection and less emphasis on dairy, at that this moment. Denbigh: A couple of bulls that seem to be working well for us are Gabor and Atlantic. The Gabor daughters are just solid cows. Not producing the stylish “show cows”, but nice udders and cows you enjoy working with. We just started calving Atlantic daughters. They are a medium size cow for us, good feet and legs and youthful udders.
Klassens Sanchez Trixie 3783
On Cloudnine Absolut 136-ET Hoff: Mich is one bull. He had such great udders, but he died early and there was limited semen available. Koster: I think Gabor might be overlooked a little. He produces good type and shallow udder for a high milk bull. Rokey: Can’t say that I can come up with one right now. Ethics have been a big concern over the years. Do you think show ethics have improved? Day: The ultrasound has leveled it all up and added credibility to the shows. Denbigh: Ethics. I guess if we are talking about it, then it must still be viewed as a problem. We try to display our cows honestly. If they do well great!! We try to enjoy the experience, not only for ourselves but our students as well. Hoff: Yes, they have gotten better, but some places could still use improvement. Koster: Ethics have improved at the National level, not so much at the State level. Rokey: I would at least think or hope they
are improving. People need to really understand they are only hurting themselves spiritually and not helping the breed. You never know who is watching you in the showring or at a show. What is the biggest mistake dairymen make while at a show? Day: Doing or saying anything you wouldn’t repeat on the news. I think this applies at all times on our home operations. If you’re embarrassed if someone saw you do it, don’t do it. Denbigh: Have someone be present with your show string. It’s a good time to interact with the public especially at State Fairs. Koster: The atmosphere is not too kid friendly. A lot of the language and behavior is not that great for our kids. Hoff: With today’s technology, anything you do could be shared on the news or internet. Don’t do anything that you don’t want picked up by the media. It will be bad for our industry. Also, talk to the visitors as they come through the barns. Many people
Arragon Made You Look don’t like to be bothered, but we need to promote dairy. Rokey: Cheating. If you could put one person on the halter of your animal with a chance to win Madison who would it be? Day: I think halter judging isn’t as common as people think. I think any competent showman who can handle the animal will do just fine. Denbigh: Dean Dohle He appears to enjoy showing and gets the most from the cattle he leads. Hoff: I’d like to show my own cows. If I thought my cow was good enough to win, I’d like to be on the halter. Koster: My daughter Katy because she is a good show person. It is a big thrill to see your kids do well in the show ring. Rokey: It’s not all about winning for us. I like to see people lead their own animal. They are the one who owns her and should want to present her the best. I don’t like halter judging.

Right to Farm on the Missouri Ballot
On August 5, Missouri voters will go to the polls to determine the fate of Amendment 1, known as the ‘Right to Farm Bill’. The central theme of Amendment 1 is to protects family farmers and ranchers and ensures that they can pass on their farms to the next generation. The central question from outside of agriculture is what is Amendment 1 and what will it do? Amendment 1, the Missouri Farming Rights Amendment, is a state constitutional amendment to protect family farmers and ranchers. It also protects consumer choice. This amendment is being supported by farmer-led organizations because agriculture is the lifeblood of rural Missouri’s economy and a driving force of the economy on Missouri’s highways, ports, and offices. Family farmers and ranchers work hard to pass their farm on to the next generation and Amendment 1 will help ensure that transition to the next generation by giving farmers and ranchers another “tool in their toolbox” to defend themselves from unwarranted laws and regulations in the future, including ballot initiatives funded by deep-pocketed animal-rights groups. Amendment 1 will not throw out scientifically-based rules and regulations as every right is subject to reasonable regulation and Missouri’s farm families are committed to upholding all laws and regulations pertaining to agriculture. Moreover, by guarding against overly restrictive laws and regulations that limit the ability of Missouri farmers and ranchers to decide what production methods work best for them, Amendment 1 will assure consumers that Missouri farmers and ranchers can provide the choices they want in food and fiber. Missouri’s courts will ultimately determine the scope of Amendment 1, but this amendment gives farmers and ranchers a degree of protection that they do not have now and that they need for future protection. Costly ballot initiatives that promote unreasonable and unnecessary laws and regulations are designed to drain agriculture’s resources and mislead the public. Endorsed by Missouri Farmers Care and agricultural organizations and leaders across the state, Amendment 1 will protect family farms from outside spread interests that want to hard Missouri agriculture.

Missouri Passes Dairy Legislation
Missouri is the first state to pass landmark dairy legislation that enhances the dairy title provisions of the recently passed federal Farm Bill. The Missouri General Assembly approved provisions of the “Missouri Dairy Revitalization Act of 2014”, with strong bipartisan support, in Senate Bill 506, sponsored by Senator Brian Munzlinger, by a vote of 26-0 in the Senate and House Bill 1326, sponsored by Representatives Casey Guernsey and Bill Reiboldt, by a vote of 101-38 in the House. The bills now await the signature of Missouri Governor Nixon to become law. The act requires the Missouri Department of Agriculture to establish a dairy producer insurance premium assistance program for producers who participate in the federal margin protection program for dairy producers. Participating producers shall be reimbursed for 70% of their federal premium payment.
Further, this act establishes the Missouri Dairy Scholars Program. This program makes available 80 scholarships at $5,000 each toward tuition at any college or university in Missouri for students in agriculturerelated degree programs that make a commitment to work in the agriculture industry. Additionally, under this act, the University of Missouri’s commercial agriculture program shall conduct an annual study of the dairy industry and develop a plan for how to grow the dairy industry in Missouri. “Concern for job stability and economic activity in Missouri were the driving forces for support of these dairy provisions,” says Larry Purdom, president of the Missouri Dairy Association (MDA). “A University of Missouri study showed in 2011 that Missouri’s dairy product manufacturing industries directly employed 5,515 workers with a total state payroll of $258 million. Missouri’s dairy manufacturing plants produced an estimated $4.4 billion worth of dairy products.
