If you need that special show animal, a good young cow, or perhaps a high genomic animal, this weekend offers a great opportunity to support your association and great Ohio breeders. The day will be rounded out with a judging contest, a District 12 celebration, and Ohio Junior activities held at the Howard Johnson in Lima. On Saturday, March 14, at the Howard Johnson motel, Lima , will be the annual meeting, starting at 9:00 AM. At noon will be the Awards Luncheon and Queen’s Contest, followed by the Ohio Holstein Women’s fun auction. The Ohio Holstein Junior Association and the Ohio Holstein Women will have their respective meetings in the morning. You are all invited, come and be a part of your association. As we look past the dredges of winter, spring will be upon us; with that comes warmer and longer days and the beginning of the show season, Spring Dairy Expo is April 2-4. I know it will be the beginning of another great show season. I look forward to seeing many of you at these events and promoting our great Ohio Registered Holsteins.

The Ride Of My Life By Jackie Bickel, Ohio News Editor
Since 2011, January and February have become bittersweet months for me. Although the turn in the calendar page signifies a fresh beginning with the new year, it is also a reminder to me that another year has passed without my father in my life. One of my favorite memories I have of my dad are the many, many car rides we would take as a family on Sundays after church. Ever since I can remember, Dad never took the direct route home. Instead, we would take “the long way home,” which usually entailed in fierce objections from my sister, brother and I, as we would grumble and groan from our assigned spots in the back seat. Looking back, I realize that those travels held many teachable moments for me that I would apply to life as an adult...especially here on the dairy farm. There is a hierarchy. Everyone does their time in the back seat. And I hated the back seat! I sat behind my father, my sister sat on the opposite side, and when my brother was born, he had to sit in the middle (mostly as barrier between the squabbles between my sister and I). But it was from this seat that I learned how to navigate around our town. I refined my skills of patience, selfcontrol and respecting authority. Dad often would quiz us on what we learned in school that week. It was the one day where we had his undivided attention and he had a captive audience for telling stories from his own childhood. So, we did our time, dodged Dad’s swift backhand when we were disorderly, giggled at Mom’s attempts to read road maps and learned to coexist with one another in close quarters. Same goes in the barn. You have to start in the “back seat,” feeding bottle babies, cleaning calf huts out with a pitch fork and basically being the grunt of the operation. These may be menial tasks, but they are chores that must be mastered before you can be promoted to the more glamorous jobs on the farm. It is in these tasks, that we learn the fundamentals of the industry, watching the “driver” and “co-pilot” 10

work together. There are many times that I am doing the grunt work right along with Emma and Maggie, because I have not put in the 42 years of calf-feeding and manure slinging that my husband has. And he reminds me of this on a very regular basis! Being co-pilot is a daunting responsibility. And as long as Mom is in the car, you will never be copilot...don’t even bother to ask otherwise. You have to maintain peace between the driver and the back seat, take orders from behind the wheel and be prepared to step in and take charge when necessary. It wasn’t until I started college at the University of Cincinnati that I began to assume the role of co-pilot. Dad worked for the Post Office in Cincinnati and whenever the weather became unpredictable, we would ride to the city together. In the mornings, my job was to hold his coffee and scan the newspaper for good stories. On our way home, we discussed on respective days. After I graduated from college and began working for an ad agency downtown, we continued to carpool, and I looked forward to those moments when I had Dad all to myself. On the farm, there’s usually a power struggle from the back seat ranks to assume the role of co-pilot. But quite honestly, it’s hard to find someone who is willing to take orders from the boss, be ready to step in and pick up the slack at a moment’s notice and still assume the “backseat” responsibilities in a pinch. When the driver is out of commission, everything falls in the lap of the co-pilot. You get all the workload that the boss does, and none of the glory. And, you must patiently wait until it’s your turn to get behind the wheel. Getting behind the wheel isn’t as cool as you think it is. I don’t like to drive. And, I will gladly surrender the wheel to sit in the passenger seat. Before I could get my driver’s license, I had to demonstrate to my Dad that I could successfully change a tire, check the fluid levels and hook up my battery charger cables...I was determined to prove that girls can do anything a boy can do. Dad chuckled over my eagerness to drive my own car, and once I was able to fire up the Plymouth Valiant and drive to school, I choose to continue riding the school bus. The first time I drove by myself, I was continued on page 12

The Ride Of My Life ..continued from page 10
scared to death and couldn’t remember anything that I had learned in driving class. The whole saying about the grass being greener on the other side of the fence rang true in this situation. Same goes on the home front. The dream to “be in charge” is a common struggle for many that grow up on a family farm. Sometimes, the co-pilot focuses too much on the desire to be in charge, so they can do things “better,” “more efficient” and “smarter,” that they dismiss the importance of listening and learning from the years of wisdom that the “driver” has put in. Suddenly, the co-pilot is in the driver’s seat. First time they get into a jam, they look around for guidance...and no one is there to help them out. Being a good driver means knowing when it’s time to get out from behind the wheel. In 2008, Dad was diagnosed with cancer. Suddenly, our roles in the car were switched around. My brother, sister and I were married, with families and responsibilities of our own. We would take turns going with Mom and Dad to doctor appointments, and Dad insisted on driving (which meant one of us was in the backseat, again). As the cancer progressed, Dad’s ability to drive declined. He no longer was going to work, which meant that I was flying solo on my drive to and from work. Soon, I found myself calling Dad during my morning drive, and he would talk me into the office every day. It wasn’t until he passed away that my siblings and I realized we were ALL calling Dad every morning on our commutes, and it was a good thing we weren’t all on the road at the same time. Those phone calls were the reassurance that I needed to convince me that I had the ability to take the wheel on my own. Dad always knew his limits, and as much as it pained him to move over to the co-pilot seat, he did so because it was the safe and right thing to do. My Dad knew he had done his best in raising the three of us and it was time for him to let go of the reins, even though he wasn’t ready to do so. Did he have a running commentary on the skills of whoever was chauffeuring him around? Absolutely. Did we drive the way he thought we should? Of course not. But we survived the car rides. It was the ONLY time I didn’t get smacked for back-talking Dad, when I said, “Shut-up! I can’t see where I’m going if I have to listen to you telling me how to drive!” Yes, that was one of my finer blonde moments. 12

FEBRUARY/MARCH 2015
Letting go of being in charge is tough. Especially if you’ve spent most of your life behind the wheel and it’s not your choice to get out of the driver’s seat. But if the driver has trained his co-pilot appropriately, and the backseat riders respect their role in the journey, the transition can be one that is a moment of pride for the old driver. Today, as Don and I make the 40-minute trek to my hometown on Sundays for church, I feel the presence of my Dad. My husband will ask my youngest, “So, Maggie, what did you learn in school this week?” followed by an in-depth conversation with Emma on her FFA record books and the latest DHI test results. I find myself turning into my mother as I spin around to bring peace to the dueling sisters, and I secretly smile when I realize that soon, Carson will be strapped into his car seat between the two of them, just as my brother was many years ago. I fulfill my role as copilot, answering text messages for Don, fielding phone calls and logging into to see what our current somatic cell count is. It’s funny how life has a habit of coming full circle.

Ohio Holstein Summer Extravaganza Sale Lot 13 Ohio Holstein Summer Extravaganza Sale Lot 28
Hi, everyone, what a nice From summer we have had so far. As we Mike finish up thirdNational Director cutting hay and kids are going back to school and the Little League World Series, we know fall is coming. If you didn’t make it to Iowa, you missed a very nice convention, and I want to congratulate the Iowa Holstein Association for a job well done. The big thing to come out of Iowa was the unveiling of a new product that we have been working on for several years. That new program is named Enlight, and it is a unique tool that provides a convenient web-based access to your herd’s genetic information, and it is easily accessible on your office computer or tablet. This new program is a joint effort between Holstein Associates USA and Zoetis. To learn more about this new program, you can go on the Holstein website Enlight; log in to Holstein Genetic Dashboard, and look up the summer Holstein Pulse. Lindsey Worden does a very nice job introducing this new program. I encourage you to call Glen Sageser; he can help you get enrolled today. I want to congratulate Jeff Brown and Eric Topp for jobs well done judging at the Indiana State Fair. You both made me proud to call you fellow Holstein members. On a different note, I want to thank Esther for her many years of service to the Ohio Holstein Association. The first time I met Esther personally was in Minnesota, when I was running for director. The first thing she told me was, “If you get elected, you must write an article for the Ohio News.” I will admit, I didn’t make it easy for her. She would first e-mail me two or three times, then she would call me once or twice, and I would finally get the article to her. The other thing I have to thank Esther for is, when I wrote my first article, she said, “I want to nickname you Indiana Jones.” I tried to talk her out of that, but as you know, she is very persuasive. So thanks to Esther, now everyone says there is an Indiana Jones. Thanks! Just kidding, Esther. It was wonderful meeting you, and I thank you for a job well done and wish you the best of luck. Well, I have got to go. We are on our way to Indianapolis to get Jodi registered at the Indiana School for the Blind. Signing out — Indiana Jones

FEBRUARY/MARCH 2015
by Barb Lumley An email from Jackie has let me know that she needs my column...there is a deadline! As I write this it is blowing snow, drifting, and one of the coldest days we have had so far (it was 10 degrees below zero this morning) and all I want to do is snuggle under my afghan and keep warm! I am wearing sweat pants, a sweater, a sweatshirt and my thermostat is set on 70 degrees and I am still cold! I miss my cows but I am grateful that I don’t have to go out to care for them today. My thoughts are definitely with my dairy friends who are dealing with frozen water pipes, tractors that won’t start, icy roads, cows that insist on calving in spite of the weather, etc. I hope this arctic blast doesn’t last long! A pot of potato soup is bubbling on the stove, made with potatoes, onion, delicious whole milk and oldfashioned “rivels” just like my Mom used to make. A couple pats of real butter or some cheese added to the bowel when I dish it up makes it even better. I am so glad that some of the doctors and so called “health experts” are finally recognizing that dairy products really are good for you. In a recent column by Dr. Oz in “O” magazine he reports that on two recent studies that make it clear that not even saturated fat is all bad. The first published in The Lancelot Diabetes and Endocrinology revealed that certain types of fat commonly found in dairy products like yogurt and full-fat milk may actually have a protective effect against type 2 diabetes. Swedish researchers arrived at a similar conclusion. When it comes to dairy products, a lot of doctors and government health officials need their thinking corrected! A “pet peeve” of mine is government programs that only allow participants to purchase 1% milk!
This issue will feature the Ohio Holstein Convention and Annual Meeting and the Convention Sale. Quietcove Holsteins will be our hosts for the sale on Friday and the sale will feature a group of great consignments. It will be an opportunity for breeders to add some outstanding genetics to their herds. The Annual Meetings on Saturday are very important, as it is an opportunity for members to express their opinions, their ideas, and elect the officers that will lead us into the future. It has been announced that the Ohio Holstein Association will be hosting the National Holstein Convention in 2019. This will be an important undertaking and will require outstanding leadership and the help and support of every Ohio Holstein member. I strongly urge members, their families, and friends to attend the Annual Meeting and become involved. Spring will also bring the Ohio Holstein Spring Sale held at the Wayne County Fairgrounds, Wooster, Ohio in April.. Consignments are needed. Contact the office, Ken Janes, Steve Deam, a sale committee member or myself. We are starting 2015 with a new editor and a new publishing company. The Ohio Holstein News is known as one of the best breed magazines published and is mailed all over the United States. Jackie and Carlisle Publishing plan to keep it that way. In order to do that, they need your support. Every Holstein herd should be advertising in the News, and every herd has a reason to promote their Holsteins. There are always buyers looking for that great show cow or calf, some bred heifers or young cows, a good young bull or embryos. They need to know who you are, what you have, and where to find you. Get your farm and your name out there. Advertise! Congratulations to the Ohio 4-H Dairy Judging Team who has qualified to compete in the Royal Highland Show in Scotland and the Charleville Show in Ireland next June. Team members are Hannah Dye, Tanner Topp, Ella Jackson, and Kaleb Kliner. All are junior members of the Ohio Holstein Association. This will be the first team to represent Ohio in the international competition since 1999. The team will be fundraising in the upcoming months to finance their trip. Let’s support these outstanding youth and let’s make 2015 a great year for the Ohio Holstein Association! Think spring ---- it’s on the way!

Our Convent ion t Quietcove: A History WithHos A Future Quietcove Farm has had a long, distinguished history breeding and developing great cow families in Western Ohio. Roger and Ethel Elsass created the Quietcove prefix in 1940. Their three sons, Marvin, Loren and Lynn, continued growing the herd and moved it to the present farm in Wapakoneta in 1968. After service in Vietnam, Loren returned to the farm and placed a greater focus on registered Holsteins. Quietcove Matt Judy resulted from the breeding program. As the first cow ever exhibited at the Ohio State Fair by Quietcove, she won the National Holstein Futurity and Grand Champion in 1972. Since that day, Quietcove has been a regular contender at local, state and national shows; exhibiting the Grand Champion at the Ohio State Fair 4 times, the National Holstein Futurity 7 times, and exhibiting many All American nominees.
Quietcove Valiant Fawn EX-95
The favorite cow family is that of the most well known cow, Quietcove Valiant Fawn EX-95. Fawn, born and bred at Quietcove in 1983, made her tanbark debut at Louisville in 1985 as an August 29th born Jr. 2-Year-Old where she won her class. She continued to dominate the following year by winning the National Holstein Futurity and Grand Champion at the 1986 Ohio State Fair. Fawn won Grand Champion for the first of three consecutive years at the Ohio Spring Show in 1987. She would ultimately go undefeated in 1987 winning the 4-Year-Old class at the Eastern National in Harrisburg to cap off her year. Loren Elsass had the distinct pleasure of judging the World Dairy Expo. in Madison, WI that year, so Fawn was 32

not able to compete. She ultimately won Reserve All-American 4-Year-Old that year. Fawn’s tanbark resume would eventually include All-Ohio honors an unprecedented 6 consecutive times (1986-1992), and two All-American nominations. Fawn’s true impact on Quietcove, and the Holstein breed, is reflected by her remarkable ability to transmit her show ring and genetic excellence. To date, Fawn has had 6 All-American nominated descendants. Much of the present day herd descends from the Fawn legacy. Loren’s oldest son, Jeremy, began managing the herd in the mid 1990’s, with Loren working full time for COBA Select Sires. Jeremy continued the Quietcove breeding philosophy of strong, dairy frames with productive, show ring udders. Tragically, the beautiful 80 cow tie stall barn erupted in flames in September of 2000. Fortunately, none of the cows were harmed, but the barn was completely lost. After a long and difficult deliberation, the decision was made to sell the cows and discontinue milk production at Quietcove. Before selling the entire herd, Loren, Jeremy and Jonathon, along with Philip Schlenker of Wapa Farms in Wapakoneta, OH, purchased the nucleus of the Quietcove herd. Jeremy took the cows and milked in Northern Ohio for a short time, and then in central Wisconsin from 2002-2005. All the while, Jeremy envisioned a return to the home farm in Ohio, and, after getting married in May 2005, came back to Quietcove that summer to milk again. In order to facilitate the return to Quietcove, Tim Curran and Tom Mauric renovated the old parlor into a more modern milking center. Marvin Elsass, Lynn Elsass and Tom Mauric all play active roles in daily herd management. Quietcove-W is pleased to be

brand new, modern free stall facility, allowing the group to milk more cows in an efficient manner. In c o nj u n c t i o n with the free stall barn, a 30-cow tie stall and box stall facility was completed as well, allowing the best of the best to be cared for in a way reminiscent of the Quietcove of old. It is really the best of both worlds, allowing great cows to be showcased and developed to their potential, while milking the rest of the herd in a modern, laborefficient manner. Others have noticed the facility, and the talented crew caring for the animals, and are boarding their finest cows, of all breeds, at Quietcove. Quietcove’s objectives are to breed, develop, and care for the very best of all breeds, aiming for the Quietcove prefix to be well represented at state and national shows.
The acquisition of Blue Gene Durham Dooley in 2005 was in many ways the launching point of the new venture, and the return to Quietcove. Dooley was Reserve All-American Senior 3-Year-Old in 2006 and has blessed the herd with several daughters that mimic her overall dairy refinement. The descendants of Valiant Fawn are also well represented in the current herd, led by Quietcove Gold Fleur- the Reserve Grand Champion female at the 2010 Ohio State Fair. From a facilities perspective, 2010 was an exciting year. Quietcove lacked the appropriate facilities to care for great cows the way Jeremy knew best- the way things had been done for 32 years at Quietcove until the fire in 2000. In 2010, construction was completed on a
Quite simply, for Quietcove to be,”The Place to Be”.

Twelve all-new models deliver increased performance and power for every task, from lifting bales to mucking stalls. Not to mention industry-leading hinge-pin height to help with feedlot work. No matter what’s on your list of chores, the new Case Alpha Series delivers. And they do it with a larger, roomier cab—the most comfortable on the market.

Dear Ohio Holstein Members, In the past 9 years, I have been slowly collecting information on all of the previous OSU college and 4H dairy judging teams that represented our state at national competitions. Dr. Spike had a very detailed scrapbook of all his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s photos and names. I also had a listing of all of the Harold Kaeser teams, but very few photos. Esther Welch and her daughter went back through old editions of Holstein News and found some limited information. After a trip to the Archives of Ohio State, I also came up with a few more photos that matched up to the Kaeser list. I even spoke to Haroldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children about items that might be in their possession. Just last year, the staff of Hoards Dairyman went through all the notebooks at National Dairy Shrine and graciously shared Ohio photos available with me on a CD. During my tenure in this position, I have made requests for former team members to search their scrapbooks and old photos for what they could share. As a note of interest, I do have a photo of a 1922 team that included Ralph Porterfield as a student member! This is proof that we have had a team for 93 years!

In this age of technology, it is important that we preserve the rich heritage of our judging program for the benefit of all who have come before us and those that will follow. The walls of the Animal Sciences building already have livestock and meat judging teams featured in posters! IF I have created some interest, please take time to peruse your scrapbooks and boxes of vintage OHIO NEWS
