What a whirlwind the past few months have been! It barely feels like the National Convention is passed, and here we are again! Time sure is a funny thing. I’ve never attended the National Convention before, so I didn’t have anything to compare this one to, but I can say it was very well done! I enjoyed it greatly, met some wonderful people, put faces to people I’d only talked to on the phone, and had a wonderful time! It feels like yesterday, and years ago at the same time. I had the grandest time visiting with the Mitchell family of Mitch-Hill Dairy and Creamery, of Venus, PA. It was a bit of a group expedition, as my husband, Cody, and my cousin, Gladys, both went along, because like me, they both have an interest in the different ways farms are diversifying. We talked with the family for nearly two hours, they were courteous and willing, giving freely of time and answering any and all questions we had. They showed us around their fascinating container creamery and shared the history and journey that has led them to this point. It was quite the enjoyable experience. Be sure to check out their story on page 11; I hope it’s half as informative and enjoyable to read as it was to write! And so, for now, I’d like to wish all the readers a good rest of fall and Thanksgiving, a Merry Christmas (I can’t believe I just typed that!), and a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year! May we all be blessed and encouraged, and I hope and pray good things are to come. ~Rose Morian, Editor

We Did It! Congratulations PA Holstein Members! Despite the rocky start, 2021 has turned out
to be a wonderful year for the Pennsylvania Holstein Association and its members. The National Holstein Convention was supposed take place in Lancaster last June but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.. Starting in January, the Convention Chairs, Diane and Reid Hoover, Junior Convention Chairs, Irene and Jimmy Osborne, and myself began meeting weekly via Zoom with Holstein USA staff to devise a plan to safely hold the National Convention. Our planning was going smoothly until Holstein USA staff put a wrench in our plans in late February. After a meeting with the Holstein USA Board of Directors, though, we were granted permission to proceed with the Convention in late June. Under the leadership of the Hoovers and Osbornes, our committee members put plans in place in record time. The results were fantastic! PA Holstein members welcomed nearly 900 registered guests to Lancaster. The tours were well attended and appreciated, the sale was a rousing success with an average of nearly $14,000 and a gross of nearly $1.4 million. The Junior Welcome Mixer was popular with both youth and adults, whether they were participating in the first judging contest at a National Convention or dancing in the herd’s exercise lot. The hospitality of our members was exemplary. Family Fun Night was also a favorite with Convention goers, as people from coast to coast enjoyed their time at Cherry Crest Adventure Farm and Strasburg Railroad. Thank you to the Hoovers, Osbornes, committee chairs, committee members, and every member that lent a helping hand! Like the 2020 National Convention, our 2021 State Convention was also postponed. This cancellation meant our

junior contests were to be cancelled as well. The Youth and Junior Executive Committees, along with Amanda Mitcheltree (Youth & Events Coordinator), came up with a plan to have two Junior contest days: one was set in February for the DJM and Scholarship interviews and the speech contest, and another date was set mid-March for dairy bowl and dairy jeopardy. Both events were appreciated by our Juniors and their leaders. Our PA Juniors that succeeded in our junior contest days went on to have impressive showings at the National Convention. Madison Weaver, Elizabeth Stoltzfus, and Kendall Jenkins were National DJM Semi-Finalists, and F. Hayden Weaver and Elizabeth Lentz were National YDJM Finalists. Kristen Houser won the Intermediate Dairy Jeopardy contest while Elizabeth Lentz finished second. Way to go Juniors, leaders, and Amanda for making our treasured Junior contests happen! At the beginning of the year, we feared our show program might remain dormant due to the pandemic, but our show committee prevailed. Chairman, Tim Seipt, and PHA Show Coordinator, Jennifer Hill, found a suitable facility in Centre Hall, changed the date to May 1, and put on a competitive and well-attended Spring Show. After moving the date to May 1st, we conducted a well-attended and competitive Spring Show. Furthermore, PHA was able to hold five of the usual six regional shows, as well as the Fall Show in conjunction with the Eastern National Show at the All-American. PA Holstein Association’s adult and junior membership roles are full of people with great resolve and the drive to succeed. THANK YOU members, and leaders of the Association, both on the local and state levels for persevering this year. We did it!!!

It has truly been a
privilege and an honor to serve as the 20202022 Pennsylvania Holstein Association President. The last two years have been a learning experience for me, but being surrounded by great people on the executive committee and our employees, it has made me a better person. It has been fun and challenging serving on numerous committees, but I could not have asked for a better two years. I would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who worked endlessly to put on a wonderful National Convention. We had an outstanding turnout with smiles lining the hallways. The tours, contests, meals, and events were all a big hit, and provided some great time to meet new friends and catch up with old ones. Congratulations to all of the juniors who represented Pennsylvania so wonderfully, we could not be more proud. It has been decided that we will be starting a reserve fund with the leftover money from the National Convention. This money will be used for any necessary means in the future, hoping to ensure our Association will last for many generations. This summer, we had an outstanding turnout with all of the regional shows. Congratulations to all of the exhibitors who prepared and showed some outstanding cows that represented the Holstein breed well. Thank you to Jennifer
Hill who worked hard to prepare for and help these shows to run smoothly. Unfortunately, Jennifer has decided to pursue other endeavors and will be resigning from her position as Show Coordinator. If you have an interest in this position please feel free to contact me. The recent Nittany Lion Fall Classic Sale was another large success for our Association this year. Thank you to all of the volunteers who prepared and took care of the large group of animals, along with everyone who helped to have the sale run so smoothly. The Dairy Science Club did a terrific job yet again, and our Association is extremely appreciative. This upcoming year, we will experience our first joint junior and adult State Convention since 1988 and it will be held in Reading. We are looking forward to meeting in person again after our missed convention in 2021. Thank you to our Southeast region for hosting, I am excited to see what you have in store for us. I have enjoyed my time as President, and look forward to continuing to support the Pennsylvania Holstein Association for the following years. Thank you for all of your support and assistance during this time. God bless this Association, all of the wonderful members, and God bless the Holstein cow.

After to pursue their dream. passed until the creamery finally got started. “That’s graduating from Penn State University, how close we were at that time.” Gayle explained. Lance went to work at a 500-cow dairy on the east coast. It was Much like with purchasing a farm, they got close several times, a learning experience, and helped shape the dream farm Lance before it would fall through, leaving them to take the knowledge wanted to pursue. While he enjoyed the experience, “I knew gleaned and start over. that a big herd was not for me,” Lance explained. He and Gayle After close to 15 years of ups, downs, and almost, the Mitchell also knew they wanted to move closer to home near family to family found a new path through which to pursue their dream. raise their children. Hours and hours of time were spent around Don’s Dairy Supply, of South Kortright, NY, had a prototype for veteran farmers’ kitchen tables, discussing the sale of farms in a fully functional creamery housed within a shipping container. the area. Yet, every time they felt they were getting somewhere, The Mitchell family saw pictures of the prototype container, the proposition would fall through and leave them to begin and the gears in their mind started turning. Then something again. Still, they didn’t give up. It would prove to be good training extraordinary happened; much like when the farmer sought for their future pursuit of creating their own milk market. Finally, Lance and Gayle out, the local bank contacted them. The bank a local farmer who knew they were looking for a farm to begin knew they had been pursuing their dream of bottling milk for their journey, called them. This time, he came to their kitchen years, “They came alongside us and said, ‘how can we make table, and they sat around it and talked the deal over. The

this happen?’” Lance explained, “Small business helping small business.” A grant was also awarded them, which helped pay for the container and appealed to the bank. For many, it can be difficult to take that step for a loan not knowing how the business will turn out, but Lance smiled and explained his logic, “Money is just a tool, you pick it up and use it.” About three months after seeing the container creamery prototype, Gayle called Don’s Dairy Supply to order a shipping container creamery of their own. By this time, Don’s Dairy Supply had a wait list, as it takes some time to outfit the shipping containers. Each Most inspectors are good shipping container is custom people that don’t want you built, and the Mitchells worked with Don’s Dairy to get in trouble. Supply to get theirs just right, specifying where they wanted doors, windows, and even the outside color of the container, and collaborating on equipment, and layout. This container was the first one with the cooler located inside to store the products once they’re packaged, truly making it a “one-stop-shop”. It also features a 100-gallon pasteurizer on wheels to make it convenient for when they move up to a larger one. When Don’s Dairy Supply finished the container, they loaded it on a semi-trailer and it was hauled down to the farm. A crane lifted it off the trailer and placed it next to the milk house. An old bulk tank was placed on top over a couple added support beams to hold the coolant water that circulates through a pipe cooler to help bring the milk down to 40 degrees once it’s been pasteurized. The Mitchell family then added on to the barn, an enclosed lean-to to cover the container and protect the bulk tank housed on top. Gayle had always wanted a store front, and after 15 years of waiting, she had a pretty good idea of what she wanted to see. Lance knew what he wanted in the creamery, and worked with the construction crew to make Gayle’s storefront dream a reality. As he said, trusting your vision to someone else in construction can sometimes lead to tearing something apart and redoing it. Together they worked to make sure the permanent reality matched the vision they had in mind for both the creamery and the storefront. The Mitchell family also relied on the expertise from the Center for Dairy Excellence, as well as their USDA inspector, when it came to the finer details of owning and operating a creamery. Labeling became more of an issue than they expected, as Gayle explained that the regulations cover the spectrum, from specifying “Milk” be the largest print to prohibiting some wording, such as “Farm Fresh” and “Classic.” The labeling process started with them coming up with a label, their USDA inspector looking over it and pointing out any flaws they may have, then he would pass it along up to the powers that be to approve it or send it back for changes. Once the container was set and ready to go, the USDA inspector had to give it the passing grade. Then, in January of 2021, Mitch-Hill Dairy and Creamery bottled their first batch of milk. It takes four hours per batch, and flavored milk has a slightly different process than white because of the added sugars in the flavoring. The Mitchell family said they usually bottle two days a week, about 10 percent of their total milk production right now, and one of those days they have it worked out in shifts to run three batches. “Laborious, that’s

the word you’re looking for,” is what Caine said when asked what the cleaning process looks like for the creamery. After processing, each union gets torn apart and cleaned, each pipe has the pipe brush run through it, and the utmost precautions are taken to make sure every piece of the creamery is sanitary. The record keeping is similarly extensive; keeping charts tracking the pasteurization of every batch of milk, as well as tracking inventory, orders, and more. The USDA inspector comes every quarter, checking to make sure the temperature gauges are correct and everything is in order. They have a good working relationship with the inspector, as Lance explained, “Most inspectors are good people that don’t want you to get in trouble.” When asked what changes have had to be implemented because of how the creamery affects the farm, the answers were severalfold. As Gayle pointed out, there is no way to add hours to the day, and the farm is still the farm. Adding on top of that, Gayle, Quinn, and Caine all currently have jobs off the farm. Also, in addition to selling milk from their small store, their milk is carried in nearly a dozen local stores. Gayle said that they used to take two half-days a week to deliver, going in opposite directions each day, but they are condensing that into one full day. Another change they made was hiring high school kids to help with milkings, giving them milking help from outside the family for the first time since they started farming. They also reduced their herd size, milking only 45 cows now. They explained that they tried to staff the store consistently for set hours, but have given up and now also employ the honor system for when they’re unable to have someone in the

store. This has been met with very positive results. “We’ve had people come up the drive at 11 at night,” Gayle said, “that’s a sale we wouldn’t have had otherwise… We have people sometimes say they’re a little short and will catch us later, and they’re always good for it, or sometimes they’ll pay ahead.” It’s this amicable attitude that has helped make Mitch-Hill a success. When asked what their favorite Gayle’s response was immediate, heartfelt, or most rewarding part of the process to date is, Gayle was quick and potent, to answer it’s when people realize how good milk tastes. She takes samples with her to farmers markets and local festivities, and she loves opening the eyes of people to how good milk can be. It’s a way to bring good attention to the dairy industry and promote the product that has been demeaned and devalued through fad diets and flawed data. Gayle said in January she will be taking milk to the school where she teaches, and she’s excited to have the kids try it. Caine said that his favorite part is that he and Quinn talked about the creamery their family would be starting for all those years, and now they can talk about the creamery that is a reality. As the interview ended, they shared advice they would give to others looking to diversify. Gayle’s response was immediate, heartfelt, and potent, “Don’t give up.” Lance added, “Keep leaning forward.” He went on to explain that no matter what setbacks you may encounter, don’t let it stop you or push you back too far, keep leaning into the process and eventually something will give. Lance and Gayle told the story of getting their delivery truck. Lance walked into the house one day and Gayle told him she had put a bid in on a truck she thought would work for deliveries. Two days later, she told him her bid had won. Next she mentioned the truck was in Arkansas. They arranged to have the truck hauled home and it showed up around 10:00 on Thanksgiving evening. They have been using it ever since. The Mitchell family’s faith has perhaps been the driving force in the whole endeavor, and they believe they are in the

position they are now due to God’s blessing and perfect timing. They are also grateful for the help and support from others: the neighbor that helps with crops, and Gayle’s parents, who took over going to farmers markets when Gayle went back to teaching school this fall. They also said Don’s Dairy Supply kept an eye on their Facebook page, and actually did a shout-out to them. “It was really neat to know they cared about us and were watching our progress,” Lance said, noting the personal connection and relationship they built through the process of designing the container. Another small business helping small business. Mitch-Hill Dairy and Creamery may be young, but there is a promising future ahead for this family and their business. Their combination of love for the farm and each other, and passion for the creamery implies no end in sight, and Caine’s two young daughters, Farryn and Freya, will grow up knowing the farm and the creamery. While they only bottle milk right now, they have ideas and plans to start with other products in the near future. 2020 may be remembered around the world for the pandemic, but in this family, it will be remembered as the year their dreams became a reality. If you’re ever in the area of Venus, be sure to stop by Mitch-Hill dairy and meet the Mitchell family, try some of their milk, and check out their creamery, I can guarantee it’s worth the stop. u

Meet Our PA Junior Holstein Officers Rachel Foster
President Greetings from Huntingdon County! I am the 20-year-old daughter of Amy and John A. Foster III of Petersburg. I am currently attending Juniata College majoring in biochemistry on a pre-medicine track with minors in communications and medical humanities and chief of our college’s emergency medical service. Outside of school, I volunteer with my local emergency services as an EMT and a firefighter. My passions for the dairy industry started with my first membership to the Junior Holstein Association in 2000 where I have been a member of the Huntingdon Junior Holstein Club as well as served on the Pennsylvania Junior Holstein Executive Committee. Through the Association I have been able to participate in many activities, contests, and shows. Growing up on my family’s dairy farm has instilled lifelong lessons in responsibility, work ethics and drive. I plan to continue my passions for the industry on my family’s farm and continue the legacy for generations to come breeding quality holstein cattle.
Kristen Houser
Vice President My name is Kristen Houser and I am the 18-year-old daughter of Jim and Teresa Houser of Spring Mills. My dairy farm involvement began at a young age when I was feeding calves on my family dairy farm, and has evolved into assisting in managing the dairy herd in recent years. I am an active member of the Centre County 4-H Dairy Club, Centre Hall 4-H Ag Club, and the Penns Valley FFA, teaching me leadership and giving me the ability to promote the agriculture industry. After recently graduating from Penns Valley High School, I have been employed as a Licensed Independent Health and Life Insurance Agent in the state of Pennsylvania, working to provide health and financial solutions for those around me. My PA Junior Holstein Association involvement began 11 years ago, and during that time I have enjoyed competing in many of the Junior contests and designing ads for the Profiles. While my time on the Junior Executive Committee will soon come to a close, I have enjoyed voicing my opinion in order to make positive changes for the next generation of youth who will get to enjoy this beloved Association.

Treasurer Hello, my name is Jay Bratton. I reside in the rolling hills of central Pennsylvania in Perry County. I live on my family’s farm, Bratton View Farms. I help take care of the calves and large heifers and I also milk for a dairy farm up the road. I am involved in showing cattle at the county, state, and national level. I have been very involved in the Holstein Association with public speaking, dairy bowl, and jeopardy. I have a true passion for the dairy cow and the dairy industry!

Craftsman Corner
June Kocher has made a name for herself painting slates, milk cans, windows, and about anything else paint can be applied to. This fall she was given the opportunity to paint the milk cans awarded to the Supreme Champions of the Premier National Junior Show. June and her family milk a herd of 205, mostly registered Holsteins with a few Jerseys and Brown Swiss, in Pennsylvania Furnace. 1.) What got you interested in your craft at the beginning? 4.) What keeps you doing this and how can people find you? I’ve been drawing and painting for as long as I can remember. I took art lessons as a kid for many years. While a student at Penn State in the 1980’s, I was the only person to ever be enrolled in Dairy Production and Art at the same time!
2.) How did you get started?
Since I grew up surrounded by cows, that is what I loved to draw and paint the most. I dreamed of owning a horse when I was a kid so I enjoyed drawing them too; I never did get a horse though! It was almost as if, if I could dream it, I would draw or paint it! My dad attributed my artistic ability to me being left handed; I was always using the creative side of my brain!!
Recently I was asked to paint the Supreme awards for the Premier National Junior Show in Harrisburg: 2 milk cans. I painted a 6 pane window for Michael Yoder and a milk can for Matt Engel. I have painted many show winning cows on slates, and I’ve painted milk cans for Liddleholme. Facebook has helped me to get my painting projects out there. I am usually contacted on messenger, by phone, 814-692-8118 or email: kobreezyholsteins@windstream.net
3.) What is your connection/history with dairy/ag?
I am a dairy farmer. We are located next to PSU in Centre County where we milk. I find time to paint in between my morning and evening barn chores. You could say finding time to paint is easier some days than others! The closer I get to Christmas, the busier I get! Lately, I have been pretty busy painting year round. I love making people happy when I paint. The Good Lord blessed me with this awesome talent so I am trying to use it to the best of my ability! If I can’t own an All-American cow of my own, I can always paint her!!!

When I was a young girl, I dreamed of farming with my Daddy, Paul Witter. Unfortunately, life took a different turn and Dad decided to exit the dairy industry. And so, when I was 24 years old, we sold our cows and transitioned to crop farming. I went on to earn my CNA and worked in home care and at a local nursing home. I enjoyed working with the elderly and my coworkers, but after five years, I knew it wasn’t something I envisioned long term. I had children to raise and a schedule that did not accommodate quality family time. I obtained by CDL and drove school bus for four years, but again, I knew this wasn’t the job for me. I then found a job working on a dairy farm in Greencastle, PA and knew it was where I needed to be. Once a farmer, always a farmer and so this is our story… you could say it is written in the stars. DarView Farms is in Greencastle, PA. We farm 500 acres and milk a mixed herd of 150-180 cows with 90% registered. We also raise replacements and breeding bulls. We are a working family of six. Glenn and Mike Daugherty own the farm. Glenn does all the manure hauling, cleaning, and most field work. Mike does the feeding and animal care. Along with my three children, Contessa (16), Levi (14) and Brylee (8), we do the milking and calf care. My oldest son is 19 and no longer lives at home. If you ask any of my kids, they will share how much they value farm life. Throughout their experiences, they have learned that anything you want in life doesn’t come without blood, sweat and tears. Four years ago, Mike introduced my children to showing and we’ve been enjoying local shows ever since. My children even pushed me back into the show ring. I haven’t shown cows since I was 17 but I will say, I sure did miss it. Contessa shows Brown Swiss and Milking Shorthorn, Levi shows Brown Swiss and Jerseys, Brylee shows Ayrshires and Jerseys and I show Holstein, Brown Swiss and Ayrshires. It’s so nice to connect with my children and do something we all love. Dairy farming is not easy by any means. It’s one of the most challenging careers. But at the end of the day, every day is worth it. Please thank a farmer every chance you get.

2021 National Holstein Convention Member Contributions
Beginning in the year 2016, members of the PA Holstein Association were given the opportunity to contribute to the 2020 National Holstein Convention at the time of their membership renewals. Many of our members took advantage of that throughout the years leading up to the convention that was eventually held in 2021. Thank you to all who were so generous with their hard-earned dollars.

Our youth have had an excellent year! They have ventured out to compete in 4H and FFA Dairy Knowledge Contests, and have been winners of both! Additionally, Kristen Houser was the winner of the 2021 National Holstein Intermediate Jeopardy Contest. These youth have persevered for numerous years, incurring many losses and challenges. However through their hard work, they have accomplished so much, and our association could not be more proud.
Congratulations to all of the Centre County Juniors who competed at the Grange Fair! It is awesome to watch the dedication they put into their animals pay off!
