We would like to express our sincere thanks and gratitude to the great consignors and breeders participating in The Exclusive Opportunity Sale. Each of you opened your doors and gave us your very best! Last year’s consignments lit up the tanbark trail, earning accolades for their new owners as show winners, champions and All-American nominees from coast to coast. Expect the same caliber at this year’s event. It’s “one you won’t want to miss”. There are simply too many impressive consignments to single any out. It would be impossible to do each of them the justice they deserve. Instead, we invite you to look over the consignor list and use your imagination. We can say with confidence that your next big opportunity awaits on April 5th. We hope to see you in Syracuse! CO-MANAGED WITH MD-HILLBROOK

Looking Back… Going Forward the Exciting Future for Holstein World Cheri Oechsle Managing Editor

t is with delig ht that o n c e a g a in , Purebred Publishing is at the helm of the Holstein World. This time though, with ownership. We return it to its original flagship name, in honor of its legacy, as we take the reins for the next chapter. We are excited to begin this adventure with you, the loyal readers of the Holstein World and look forward to growing the readership of both the magazine and website. We plan to bring you stories about cow families, Holstein breeder families, Holstein industry updates and news from

Joel Hastings

f t e r three g e n erations in my family, we’re delighted to turn over to new ownership our Holstein World magazine. We congratulate Purebred Publishing, the purchaser. Based in Columbus, Ohio, this group is committed to breeders of purebred cattle, already working with the official publications of the Guernsey, Brown Swiss, Ayrshire and Milking Shorthorn breeds. As they expand their service to livestock breeders, we’re very pleased that they see working with Holstein breeders, and the World magazine, as an important next step in their growth. As our issue of January 2018 came off the presses, it occurred to me that it was in January 1904 when the very first issue of HolsteinFriesian World was published. My grandfather, E. M. Hastings, a founding partner, was on the Holstein World | March 2018 | 6

sales, shows and meetings as well as the occasional stories about industry issues, such as the one on Ag-Vocating in the Classroom in this issue. In honor of the World’s long-standing tradition, we present an article on a cow family that has a unique opportunity to become legendary with potential 20th and 21st generations of Excellent cows that go back to Audry Posh. Thank you to Michelle Morian for not only bringing it to our attention but working with the Golden-Rose family to bring us a story on a great cow family. We are so very proud to present the 2017 AllAmericans in this issue. The breeders, exhibitors and owners of these beautiful "best-of-the-best" are to be congratulated! A huge shout-out to Kathleen O’Keefe, who so capably handled the contest and presentation during our transition time.

Transition is sometimes not a smooth thing, and change is always disruptive to some degree. This next chapter of the Holstein World is one that, despite the challenges in the industry, we accept with deep appreciation and acknowledgement of the history and people that made this publication span the decades. We thank the most recent members, owner Joel Hastings and staff members, the Parkers, Carol Moyer and Bill Woodruff for their dedication to the breeders and the industry as they produced so many issues throughout the years. We congratulate them and wish them well on their retirement or future endeavors. Our quest is one of excellence. We continue to strive for that as we present to you our first issue of the next chapter of the Holstein World and holsteinworld.com.

masthead and wrote the editorial in that issue. What he said then, still applies: “We can conceive of nothing that should tend to advance the interests of a breed, or enhance the profits of the breeder, equal to the right kind of paper devoted to those interests.” Fifty years later, in January 1954, Maurice Prescott, the editor and publisher of HolsteinFriesian World wrote the editorial in that anniversary issue. He was my maternal grandfather and World editor for over 60 years until his passing in 1976. He was succeeded by his son, my uncle, as publisher, W. T. “Ted” Prescott, and by my father, his son-in-law as editor, R. H. “Bob” Hastings. Editor Prescott wrote: “We take this opportunity to thank publicly our many friends who have extended felicitations on our Golden Jubilee. May we say on this occasion that through the years the Holstein industry has been kind and charitable towards our efforts with the World. We have tried to make it a magazine for breeders. We have tried to stress the human angles of the business and broaden interest beyond the local field…”

He said it well then and we share these sentiments now more than ever. Perhaps it’s fitting that this announcement of new ownership appears in this March issue featuring the All-American Contest results for 2017. This program has been a cornerstone for the magazine and, we hope, for Registered Holstein enthusiasts for over 90 years. Personally, I’m very grateful for the help, advice, counsel, support and friendship extended by so many generous folks in this industry. We especially appreciate a long and productive relationship with the Holstein Association and its dedicated leadership, past and present. The World has also been the beneficiary of the talents of many skilled staff whose commitment to Holstein breeders was and is unwavering. For the future, we look forward to the new opportunities represented by the DairyBusiness Digital magazine, delivered twice each month, and our related products relying on the Internet. We are excited about several new projects now in development. It is indeed a privilege to work in our challenging, yet so rewarding dairy industry.

Ag--Vocating Vocating in the Classroom

ecently my son experienced a confrontation regarding dairy foods in the classroom. Another parent asked for suggestions and guidance on how to help their middle schooler navigate a sticky situation involving an educator and their agriculture lifestyle. The situation was created when science being presented was a bit controversial to these students line of thought and knowledge. Farming is becoming a distinct culture, creating unique issues in some schools. Today’s population is farther removed from the once traditional and predominant occupation, creating an increased lack of understanding for those outside the field. Our farm-raised students can find themselves in situations where they feel threatened and defensive of their lifestyle, upbringing and beliefs. It is important, though, while teaching our children to "ag-vocate" for themselves, they understand the need to also be respectful of their environment, classmates and teachers. Sometimes that’s hard to do, and sometimes even harder for parents who feel their child and lifestyle are under attack. My family lived in a small rural community in western Ohio and I had the privilege of being raised on a registered dairy farm. Now, as the mother of four boys, we are still fortunate enough to live in a rural area and all of them were blessed with a strong agricultural upbringing. My sister Juli is an educator and mother with almost 30 years in the classroom in a predominately urban setting. We sat down over the holidays and Holstein World | March 2018 | 8

worked on some ideas and suggestions to help youth and parents be proactive as they ag-vocate and, hopefully, educate their fellow classmates and teachers in a positive and respectful manner. Juli states that “As educators in the public schools, we have the responsibilities of developing civic understanding in students to support a democratic society. Being able to think critically about multiple viewpoints is an essential part of that understanding.” One of the sources we reviewed was Reading Nonfiction, Notice & Note, Stances, Signposts, and Strategies by Kyleen Beers and Robert E. Probst. They write, “If democracy functions best when there is a free and open exchange of thoughts so that the best thinking may rise to the top, habits of mind that lead to insularity are a threat.” They continue, “The major problem with simply telling kids what they need to know is that for the rest of their lives, there will be a great many people happy and eager to do precisely that…They [kids] need to develop intellectual standards that open them up to new possibilities and challenging ideas and that give them the courage and resilience to change their minds when they see persuasive reasons to do so.” In the case of our middle schooler mentioned above, the teacher presented an opportunity for discussion revolving around organic foods. Our young dairy friend asked to present their opinion from their lifestyle background but, at the time, was denied. Quite frustrated, they brought the issue home to their parent who

then asked for suggestions and feedback on line. What was posted by readers next ran the gamut of a firing squad to strategic negotiation tactics. Controversial topics can create defensive responses and walls. Most of the suggestions from those in the group that either had similar experiences or were educators all suggested a meeting with the teacher. While respecting the educator’s years of training and skills, it is important in the views of most, that students also become critical thinkers and able to intelligently choose to think for themselves, thus presenting opposing viewpoints when possible. Juli pointed out that many school boards have adopted policies to oversee the instruction of controversial issues to safeguard and guarantee an unbiased instruction and ensure students have the opportunity to think for themselves. We found evidence of this across the country: Howard County Public School, Maryland, Policy 8050: Defines controversial issues as “a point or matter about which there exists significant opposing viewpoints and/or multiple perspectives.” Under Standard A it requires “Issues are presented in an atmosphere free of bias and prejudice” and “Students are able to form and express their own opinions on the issue without jeopardizing their relationship with teachers or the school.” Standard B stipulates “Controversial issues must be presented in an impartial and objective matter.” School District of Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin, Policy 381: “Controversial issues shall not be

avoided, teachers and students shall be free to explore such issues and problems on the basis of principal, not prejudice, as a part of the curriculum, study and discussion of such issues shall be objective and impartial and within the appropriate context of a district course of study.” (approved in 1997) Palo Alto Unified School District, California, Policy 6144: “The study of controversial issues should help students learn how to gather and organize pertinent facts, discriminate between fact and fiction, draw intelligent conclusions and respect opinions of others.….the board also expects teachers ensure that all sides of a controversial issue are impartially presented with adequate and appropriate factual information.” How teaching of controversial topics must be handled is best summed up in a statement on a Parents of New Trier High School District 203 website in Illinois that stated, “Public institutions paid for with tax payer monies have a duty to present a balanced view with respect to controversial issues.” However, not every school may have a controversial issues policy, nor is it always easy to find. I researched our local school and had to dig through a few layers to finally find it, which I did on the website under the School Board/By-Laws & Policies/ Programs/Controversial Issues. It aligns very closely with those listed above. Another issue to also consider is making sure the information the student is providing is presented at an age and developmentally appropriate level. Sometimes subject matter can be presented by our students that is above the developmental levels of their fellow classmates. See the sidebar for examples. In summary, if an issue arises, the first step of recommendation by educators is to request a meeting with the teacher to discuss the immediate situation. Request the opportunity for the child to respectfully present another viewpoint. If this fails to resolve the situation, the next step should be researching the school’s controversial issues policy and arrange a meeting with the educator and administration. It is important to communicate that your desire is for your child to simply have the opportunity to express their viewpoint and he/she will do so in a respectful manner. This allows for students to hear multiple perspectives, fostering the development of critical thinkers and intelligent decision makers. No administration or educator can argue with that. Our ag-vocating middle schooler and parents did meet with the teacher and left the meeting with little resolution. They have also met with the administration and offered educational opportunities from their own farm. To date they have not had additional opportunities to share although their middle schooler has had no additional issues with her teacher. My son, a high schooler, handled the situation himself presenting facts to the teacher and classroom. I am quite thankful he was allowed that opportunity. He has no issues since in that class. We hope they continue their quest to educate their peers and school staff on how their lifestyle maintains and sustains them and wish them well.

Side Bar Ensure content is presented in a developmentally appropriate way for various aged students. For Example – 3 topics: Management practices (animal care) Nutrition – human consumption Nutrition – animal consumption ELEMENTARY LEVEL (4th-5th grade level) Basic, general information. Management / animal care – how a farm operates, basic calf care. Nutrition (human) – from farm to grocery store, definitions of organic, GMO. Nutrition (animal) – what animals eat, defined organic versus nonorganic and GMOs. MIDDLE SCHOOL Begin to get into the controversial, but with less sophistication, than older aged youth. Management / animal care – use of calf hutches, box stalls, tie stalls, pastures, simple vet care of non-organic versus organic / antibiotic use, why vaccinations. Human Nutrition – more in-depth of the effects of organic vs. nonorganic; FDA testing requirements; labeling. Animal Nutrition – non-GMO vs. GMOs, economic effects of organic vs non-organic on the farm & food industry. HIGH SCHOOL Research and defend with more sophistication, instructional focus on reasoning and defending sides in the context of developing presentation skills, research skills, critical thinking. Management / animal care: in-depth vet, vaccination, management protocols. Human Nutrition – more controversial presentations of animal rights in food consumption, labeling, A2A2, etc. Animal Nutrition – GMOs, antibiotic use, any issues that are controversial.

Barbaritzi

Generations of

Excellents N

estled in the rolling hills of Christiana, Pennsylvania, is one of the most exquisitely crafted tie-stall barns in the United States. But the structure of the building pales when compared with the strength and length of the cow family which calls this barn home. In the early 2000s, Holstein World broke the news that an unprecedented record had been accomplished by a direct descendant of Audrey Posch EX-93-2E. Taking center stage on the front cover of the Holstein World issue, Pinehurst Royal Rosa had scored Excellent, making her the world’s first 12th consecutive generation Excellent from Audrey Posch. The Herrs of Golden-Rose Genetics had always appreciated the genetic strength and consistency of this particular cow family. After careful consideration, they decided to add a great-great-granddaughter of Royal Rosa to their herd, a cow who would forever change their lives and their breeding program: Oakfield Pronto Ritzi. Born in March 2008, Ritzi quickly became a farm favorite. Rusty Herr understood the tremendous potential Ritzi embodied, capitalizing on the opportunity to work her through an extensive flush program. The strength of the Audrey Posch maternal line again asserted itself through that extensive flush work, as the EX-93-2E Ritzi has attained prolific brood cow status with 21 Excellent and 39 Very Good descendants in the United States alone to date, with her direct descendants being the world's first 17th, 18th, and 19th generation consecutive Excellents. The nine-year-old matriarch still holds court at Golden-Rose Genetics, graciously watching as multiple generations of her descendants carry on the Audrey Posch family tradition of excellence. In November 2015, Golden-Rose held a sale to share the wealth of Ritzi’s legacy with the world. At that sale, a two-week-old calf sold to a partnership of Rusty’s father, Karl Herr, and a family friend, Warren Buckman. The calf was a red and white Barbwire out of a just fresh two-year-old Absolute, backed by an EX-90 Goldwyn, out of Ritzi’s VG-88 Shottle daughter, who it seemed would never make Excellent. At the time, no one would have imagined that the summer of 2017 would suddenly propel this red Barbwire into a position of importance. Holstein World | March 2018 | 12

Michael Garrow bought the Barbwire’s dam Golden-Rose Abs Ginger at the Golden-Rose sale. As a second-calf three-year-old, the Absolute became a 19th generation Excellent by scoring EX-91. Shortly thereafter, the classifier visited Golden-Rose as well, raising the Absolute’s Goldwyn dam to EX-93. Having heard about Ginger’s tremendous score, and with her daughter having just scored EX-93, Rusty decided to once more present the Absolute’s VG-88 Shottle granddam to the classifier. The Shottle is a monumental cow to behold, impressive even as a dry cow and that day she received her Excellent score. In that one decision, Golden-Rose Barbritzi B-Red had in one afternoon gone from a heifer with a broken pedigree to the a potential 20th generation Excellent! But the tale does not end with Barbritzi’s journey. Golden-Rose Abs Ginger was the result of an Absolute flush of Golden-Rose Goldrush EX-93. Rusty had kept one of the resulting Absolutes from the flush. Golden-Rose ABS Glorianna-ET, who scored VG-87 as a two-year-old, calved again in early August 2017. Scored nine days after freshening, Glorianna went EX-90, making her another 19th generation Excellent in history. On that day, the race to see who will become Golden-Rose's first 20th generation Excellent began, as Glorianna’s first calf was a heifer by Ladd. Bringing a new and unique dimension to the family, Glorianna’s daughter GoldenRose Ladd Glory-Red-P could begin a new era, potentially providing genetics from a cow family characterized by consistency and the ability to transmit excellence generation after generation. This epic saga will continue to unfold, as Barbritzi is due in this February to Defiant, while Glory is due this summer. The year 2019 could see the unveiling of a 20th generation Excellent, as Barbritzi becomes eligible for a score. This journey spanning 82 years, a journey which began January 24, 1937, with the birth of a Holstein named Audrey Posch, will be an exciting one to watch.

Written by Kathleen O'Keefe

or close to a century, the All-American contest overseen by the Holstein World, has awarded the year-end title of All-American to the best Holstein of each age class to parade in the show ring. Like an Olympic gold medal, the All-American crown carries respect and prestige no matter the year won. An All-American award from 1950, 1975, or 2000 indicates the fulfillment of a breeder’s and exhibitor’s ultimate dream and that animal enters the annuls of Holstein history. With great pleasure, we present to you the newest members of our ‘Hall of Fame’ – the 2017 All-Americans! In early December, three judges assessed the entries in each class to select the six nominees which were highlighted in the January 2018 Holstein World. A panel of 21 judges then studied their ballots carefully before casting their votes for first, second and third in each class. (In classes where there was a potential conflict of interest due to breeding or ownership of an animal, those individual judges did not vote.) The final total vote tally determines the winner of the AllAmerican, Reserve All-American and Honorable Mention All-American titles. The 21 judges on this year’s panel were: Tim Abbott, Enosburg Falls, VT; Jeremy Adams, Urbana, OH; Mike Berry, Albany, OR; Jamie Black, Constable, NY; Pierre Boulet, Montmagny, QC; Eddie Bue, Kaukauna, WI; Justin Burdette, Mercersburg, PA; Pat Conroy, Angola, IN; Mike Deaver, Edgerton, WI; Dean Dohle, Halfway, MO; Chris Hill, Thurmont, MD; Adam Liddle, Argyle, NY; Callum McKinven, Canton de Hatley, QC; Carl Phoenix, Sunderland, ON; Esteban Posada, Queretaro, Mexico; Mark Rueth, Oxford, WI; Chad Ryan, Fond du Lac, WI; Molly Sloan, Columbus, WI; Jeff Stephens, Troy, ON; Larry Tande, Medford, MN; Roger Turner, Sun Prairie, WI. These individuals judged the national shows and many of the state shows, state fairs and large regional shows across the country. Eight of the All-American winners claimed their title with unanimous voting: Rosiers Blexy Goldwyn-ET (Aged Cow); TK-Plain-View Ripley (5-Year-Old); Co-Vale Dempsy Dina 4270ET (4-Year-Old); Jacobs Windbrook Aimo (Senior 3-Year-Old); Rosedale AchieversLegacy-ET (Milking Yearling); Petitclerc Atwood Spoutnik-ET (Summer Yearling); the Junior Best Three group from Ferme Petitclerc and the Senior Best Three group from Ferme Jacobs. Braedale Goldwyn leads the sire list with four winners, three reserves and one honorable mention followed closely by Val-Bisson Doorman-ET, who had three All-American winners, two reserves and four honorable mentions. Lirr Drew Dempsey and Maple-Downs-I G W Atwood-ET also had multiple winners. The March issue of the World – the All-American issue – concludes the 2017 show season. The 2018 campaign is already underway and under discussion, but before we gallop into the heart of the spring shows, please take some time to review the following pages and admire the ‘best of the best’ from across North America! Thanks again to the breeders, exhibitors and judges for their time, effort, expertise and feedback in supporting the 2017 All-American contest – there would be no contest without you!

The theme for this YDLI Class was “Charting Your Course.” In addition to hearing presentations from every class member about their Phase II advocacy projects, the Phase III session featured speakers and workshops including: · Ty Bennett delivered a keynote about the "Power of Influence."

“ ... for our fresh cows, especially 2-year-olds.” — Tom Kestell

TOM AND GIN KESTELL, EVERGREEN-VIEW FARMS, Waldo, Wisconsin 130 registered Holsteins BAA 111.4 (52 EX, 71 VG), RHA 45,000M 1710F 1397P, SCC 100,000 2016 Holstein milk production records in 6 of 8 age divisions 2017 National Dairy Shrine Distinguished Dairy Cattle Breeder “We use Udder Comfort™ for our fresh cows, especially 2-year-olds. We don’t have much mastitis or extreme edema. We use this product on fresh udders to speed up circulation and bring out any swelling they might have. I also like rubbing it on hocks. We have good success with this,” says Tom Kestell, 2017 NDS Distinguished Dairy Breeder. Happy and healthy cows are the focus of the dairy Tom and Gin Kestell started in 1971. Evergreen View Farm, Waldo, Wis. is home to 130 cows with RHA 45,000M 1710F 1397P, and 2008-15 World Record Cow Ever-Green-View My 1326-ET. Her 72,147-lb record was surpassed Jan. 2017 by daughter Ever-Green-View My Gold-ET with 77,477M.

Thousands visit the farm and genetics have gone to 30 countries. Tom loves everything about dairying and balances high genomics with his focus on type and production. “Where it is needed, Udder Comfort really works. It has been a good product for us,” he says.
