About the Cover

Lea Jordan captured this view of Maypar-CD Baxter Rhodie (EX-91), a New York State Production Leader from the C Glenridge Citation Roxy (4E-97-GMD) family, owned by Sue Mower & Dennis Treen of Maypar Farm, West Winfield, NY and Curtin Dairy, Cassville, NY. Full details of her phenomenal production record, her “cow family” influence, and the unfolding impact for her owners begin on page 21.

From the Editor Snow is falling right along as I type this, no great surprise for Upstate New York in January, but I have not heard many complaints about our winter weather so far. The days are noticeably longer which is a very positive thing as we inch our way toward spring. Yes, spring, full of activities in New York’s Holstein world. Spring sales – statewide and club sales – are gearing up and I encourage you to participate. If you have potential consignments for the New York Spring Sale held during Carousel, give Kelly Reynolds a call. This sale has such a strong reputation for MICHAEL McCAFFREY outstanding genomics, potential show winners, and New York’s greatest cow families, plus you have a built-in crowd at Carousel in addition to those who make the journey to Syracuse just for the sale. Local club sales are also in the planning stages and I encourage your participation in those sales as well and I am happy to work with you in advertising your consignments. Offering a good foundation animal, especially one that bears your prefix, may be the start of a person’s lifetime in Registered Holsteins. This especially applies to offering good show-age calves for our young members. We need to encourage our youth to get involved and stay involved and showing teaches so many things – hard work, dedication, persistence, sportsmanship, and teamwork. If you heard any rumblings from the State Junior Convention in Syracuse, you know that New York has a bright future with dedicated, talented, enthusiastic young people. Let’s all continue to support our youth to be active members of New York Holstein! Speaking of Convention, it was a great time and hats off to Beth Keene and Kerry Adams and their committees for a great time in Liverpool. Our annual banquet again honored our best and in the March issue, we will present the stories of the Master Breeders and Outstanding Young Breeder. For those who have the good fortune of owning a Luncrest, Halocrest, or Canary Dairy-bred animal, this is a great time to advertise those influential cattle and we’ll offer a special discounted ad rate for anyone promoting one of the honoree’s influence in your herd. Don’t forget about our cover photo contest in 2017! I encourage all our talented shutterbugs to submit photos from your farm, a show, a scenic shot, or whatever you choose – as long as it has a Holstein in it! Digital photos are preferred and can be emailed to me. We’ll let the membership choose the winners later in the year. Have a great February. To mix it up a bit, jump in the car and go see a neighbor’s cows for a couple hours. The change of environment will do you good and it might be the boost your neighbor needs that day.

Report

KELLY REYNOLDS

Hello Holstein Enthusiasts, Wow, is all can say after spending the long weekend at the 2017 All Breeds Convention and Jr. Holstein Convention. I have inherited a great group of members, juniors, parents, advisors, volunteers, and committee members. My time spent at convention reiterated why I took this job and makes me more excited for the future of New York Holstein. Thank you to everyone who took the time to introduce themselves, it was great to meet so many members and their families as well as reconnect with friends. Hats off to the convention committee for all of their hard work and dedication to the event. It was informative, affordable, and enjoyable on all levels. I was able to sit in on all of the speaking events and I learned so much that can be applied to our members’ farms and that I can use as well. Even though the New York Holstein Industry is just a portion of the Dairy Industry it was great to look at issues at an industry level and how they can be applied to Holstein operations of all sizes. My hope for the future is that the association can bring some more value added events to the membership, give you more bang for your buck with that membership renewal. We as an industry must never stop learning and adapting to the market and I hope the New York Holstein Association can give you those tools to continue your education. If there is something you would like meet about whether it be farm advocacy, labor, marketing, nutrition, genetics, the list can go on, please get in touch with me and hopefully we can get other Holstein members interested and involved in a lunch, barn meeting, or dinner discussion. The board discussed some changes and adaptations of our own at the Annual Meeting. We are forming a Convention Committee and a Sponsorship Committee to restructure convention as well as evaluate how we solicit sponsors. If you have any interest on being on either of those committees please let me know, I’d love to hear your ideas. We want to make convention easy to attend for those with families so we’re thinking about making convention a little shorter on the adult side of it or possibly splitting up Junior and Senior Convention. Everything is just in the planning stages right now so any input is welcomed. Convention will be at the Holiday Inn in Liverpool once again in 2018. The wait staff and hotel management complimented the juniors and their manners, we certainly have an impressive group of youth 10 - NYN February 2017

to be proud of. The hotel staff was great to work with and very accommodating, we’re excited to return there. In addition to convention and sponsorship planning we talked about a new website that is more user friendly and is mobile capable. Online presence is more important than ever, we’re hoping a website update can be an accurate look into the association and be able to connect us with breeders and members. Spring Carousel Show planning is underway. Another first-class show will be in Syracuse in April. Check your NY News for full details on the show as well as nyholsteins. com. A new and exciting feature the association is excited to offer is a new online entry system. The system is web based and will allow for a much easier entry system for Jen and Stacie in the office and it will streamline our check in process at the show as well. The link for the entry system will be up on the website mid-February, you can also request entry packets from the office as well. We are excited to welcome exhibitors from across the north-east, Canada and the mid-west to the New York Spring Dairy Carousel. Once again, there will also be a Showmanship Contest and Judging Contest for the youth. If you have any questions about entries, the show, accommodations, and the area please don’t hesitate to call me on my cell or at the office. Please contact me if you have that special one to consign for the New York Spring Sale. I will be traveling at the beginning of February to look at potential sale consignments. The sale will be held at 3 o’clock PM on Saturday, April 8th. We are looking for high genomic individuals as well as show heifer prospects. In a spring filled with several high-profile sales we’re looking to make the Spring Sale an impressive line-up that you won’t want to miss. I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to all of the award winners from convention. The resounding theme throughout all of convention was family. Outstanding Young Breeder Jim Canary Jr. credited his late father with instilling in him a passion for registered Holsteins. Bill and Regina Lundy, surrounded by their family, accepted their Master Active Breeder award together as a team, just as they have grown their farm. Howard Ivett recognized not only his family but his Chautauqua County Holstein Club family as well, neighbors that have become partners in cattle and lifelong friends. Shannon Sears and Emily Mikel were both thrilled to have both their moms and their dads at convention to see them receive the coveted Distinguished Junior Member award, even though their dads had to return home to finish morning chores. Family is what makes this association go around. We have such an incredible membership filled with dedicated breeders and families that work together, youth that are active on their family farms or take an active role on a farm that isn’t their own. We have such a strong Holstein history in New York but even more exciting than the history is the future New York Holstein has. The youth, board members, committee members all make this association run. In the coming year, I challenge you to join a committee, volunteer at an event, take out an ad in the News, suggest a new member, or join your county board. Keep in touch, Kelly

“Mingalaba” Juniors! For the past two and a half weeks this is the familiar Burmese greeting that has surrounded me as I have travelled across Myanmar. I am writing to you now with my toes in the sand on one of the many beaches that surround the nations borders. Writing is much easier Lindsey McMahon when you have the sound of the ocean in the background at six a.m. As you all know this will be my last time writing to you as the JEC Recording Secretary- a position that has taught me many lessons and that I have been honored to fill. To start, I hope that you all had a fantastic time at convention! Though I was unable to attend, I heard nothing but praise for each of your performances in the several competitions that took place. As a past competitor in some of these competitions, I understand how stressful preparation can be, but trust me when I say they teach you valuable life lessons that are hard to master from mere high school and even college courses! I offer my congratulations to those of you who placed highly and to the new committee members for the upcoming year! For the past few months I have annoyed every single one of you with my rants about Myanmar. It’s ok, you can totally admit it. I am sorry to say that I am about to annoy you some more. As corny as this sounds, this opportunity has helped me grow as a student and as a general person more in this short amount of time than I believe the past year and a half have at Cornell. I have seen what poverty looks like. I have spoken face to face with farmers who have been forced to pull their children out of school and who have desecrated their local food sources because of inadequate ag-education and extension systems. I tilled a rice paddy with my feet, and hand picked coffee cherries with the most hard working women I have ever met. It made me realize how fortunate I am, how much harder I should be working to achieve my dreams, and how infrequently I thank the important people in my life. I also saw success. I saw how a little help goes a long way. How kindness, whether from a person, company, or government, changes lives. I saw how farm related development initiatives changed people, and how needed and yearned for they still are. I met a dairy farmer who built his farm from a single cow to what is now an extremely profitable restaurant and value-added product business. I watched people utilize traditional 12 - NYN February 2017

methods, and take extreme pride in those methods. The breadth of industry I have explored the past two weeks was immense, ranging from milk, candy, bamboo, coffee, palm oil and more. The students I was able to do this with ranged in academic interests, giving me the opportunity to learn from their comments and questions, and consult them with my own questions about what I was seeing. After a year of feeling swallowed up and tumbled around by Cornell, this trip gave me a sense of home; a feeling that I am in the right place, working toward the right things in International Agriculture and Rural Development. The only way I can think to summarize what I saw and felt was with one word: inspiring. It’s that feeling of passion and belonging that I hope you each can find someday. I know it seems hard to believe. How does writing an article once a month teach you something that speaks volumes to your future? Let me tell you. Doing this job has taught me many things about myself. For example, I may be the absolute worst person at remembering a deadline, and for this I deem Mike McCaffrey one of the most patient and pleasant people I know. It has been an honor working with him this past year, and I hope that each and every one of you remember to show him and the other association faculty great gratitude for all of their work in the future. I learned that I have to write everything down in an agenda, and to actually look at that agenda so I don’t forget my deadlines….again. I learned that writing can be really really hard. Fun at times. But hard. I learned that I am good at being honest with myself when I know I need to work on my flaws, like right now when I know I have already exceeded my deadline…again. I now know that writing is something that I will never be able to succeed at as a career base because as you should know by now I cant keep a deadline. Ok I’m done with my bad time management skill jokes now (please chuckle out loud here.) On a more serious note, this position truly has exposed my flaws and my strengths, both of which I have been able to recognize and know I must work on and emphasize in my future. It’s demonstrated to me further how absolutely AMAZING this association is at helping kids excel at professional development. With this, I leave you with my last thoughts and advice. Take advantage of as many of the opportunities possible presented before you. Push yourself out of your comfort zone and explore the unknown. Try new things all of the time (This one got me into a bit of trouble with some food poisoning in Myanmar but man was that pork curry totally worth it.) Never expect life to give you lemons so you can make lemonade… work hard enough following your passions that you can just go buy some at the grocery store. The most important lesson I have learned is most certainly as follows: Remember that every mistake you make happens for a reason, and to learn from those mistakes rather than make them again. I wish each of you the best of luck with your future endeavors. “Ce zu ba” (thank you), – Lindsey McMahon

O-H-M Junior News By Brogan Graves

Hi everyone, hope you had a great Convention. For O-H-M, Convention was great. Bryce Windecker is going to Washington for Dairy Jeopardy (intermediate). Also, Ellie Ainslie had a great speech and placed first in the senior division! Our senior dairy bowl team placed third while Carolyn Littrell won first in junior extemporaneous speech. We had two junior division dairy bowl teams that made it to Round 4 and Round 6 competition. Also, Laura Littrell won second place behind Bryce in Dairy Jeopardy! That’s our convention. How was yours? I hope more O-H-M juniors make it to next year’s convention. Many O-H-M’ers enjoyed mixed club activity with Oneida, Lewis, Wayne-Ontario, and TriCounty members. The mentalist/hypnotist read the mind of Kayla Windecker and Abby Allen. Kayla Windecker thanked our advisor, Jessica Hula-Fredericks, for her influence in helping her achieve DJM awards. Now Kayla is president of the NYS Junior Holstein Association.

Chautuaqua County Club News By Heather Gregory

Approximately 30 members of the Chautauqua County Holstein Club were in attendance January 10, 2017 at Alfie’s Restaurant in Jamestown for the group’s annual meeting. The event was preceded by a milk punch social, hosted by Chautauqua County Dairy Princess Joyce Wiltsie, and her court. The meeting was called to order by the club’s president, Dan Crowell. After an ADADC presentation by Miss Wiltsie, the club’s officers were introduced. Minutes from the last meeting, as well as the treasurer’s report gained approval with no changes. The year’s events included the Spring Banquet, 68th Annual Spring Production Sale, 70th Annual Holstein Show, and Fall Sale. The county’s 2016 Holstein Scholarship recipients this year are Leila Richmond and Clark Wiltsie. Anna Crowell shared a brief summary of the Junior Club’s events. Dan Crowell shared information from the last state meeting, and recognized Long-Term Members Laurie Crowell and Douglas Ivett for 45 years, Bruce Walker for 50 years, Dennis Carlberg and John White for 55 years, Howard Ivett for 60 years, and Ralph Lawson for 70 years. Howard Ivett was recognized at the meeting for being chosen the 2017 Retired Master Breeder by the New York Holstein Association. The group enjoyed a few moments of reminiscing from Bob Crowell, Mike and Frank Walker, and the honoree himself. Gaining mention was the fact that 30 years before, Howard’s father, the late Lynn Ivett, was bestowed the same award. With great pleasure, the group congratulated Nicholas Yotpolis for earning Honorable Mention AllNew York with his March calf, Yotpolis AR T-97. Also noteworthy for the Chautauqua County group, Isaac Folts of North Collins is a finalist in the 11 and 12-yearold category of Distinguished Junior Members. Isaac also owns Cranholme Atwood Pasta-ET who is the 2016 Reserve Junior All-New York and High Honorable Mention All-New York Junior 2-Year-Old.

Lewis Co. Holstein Club News By Katy Hitt

The Lewis Co. Holstein Club held their Annual Banquet on December 2, 2016 where a new award honoring the late William “Bill” Weller was presented. William Weller was an important part of the Lewis County Holstein Club for many years, breeding many prize-winning Holsteins including nine Grand Champion bulls at the NY State Fair and a Res. Grand Champion bull a the International Livestock Exposition in Chicago, IL in 1963. He then went on to be a Classifier for Holstein USA for 20 years during which he evaluated approximately 500,000 animals including two 97 point cows. Upon his passing, the Lewis Co. Holstein Club board decided to start a yearly award to honor all that he brought to the Holstein fraternity in Lewis County. The actual description of the award is as follows; “The Bill Weller Memorial Award will be given out each year to a Holstein enthusiast with a passion for the breed. This recipient is an advocate for the Lewis County Holstein Club.” This year’s recipient was Valmont Dairy Farm, LLC, the Widrick Family. Valmont Dairy was purchased by John N., Ezra, and Aaron E. Widrick in November 1926.

Left to Right: Aaron L., Aaron A. & Merle Widrick

Tragically, after being kicked in the stomach area by a horse, Ezra passed away on May 4, 1927. Aaron E. continued to run the farm and his son Aaron A. joined the partnership when he turned 21. Aaron A.’s brother Loren joined the partnership several years later but then became a pastor in the Adams area. The farm is currently managed by brothers Aaron L. (joined the partnership in 1978) and Merle (joined in 1988), both sons of Aaron A. and his wife Loretta. In total they have bred 38 cows at EX or higher and 7 cows that have scored 89 points. They share that they are “honored and humbled to receive this recognition award.� Once again, the Lewis Co. Holstein Club would like to extend sincere congratulations to the Widrick family.

The Story of a State Champion World-Renowned Maternal Line, Outstanding Management, & Exceptional Will-To-Milk

Maypar-CD Baxter Rhodie (EX-91) is a cow of unequaled laurels when it comes to production and pedigree. Rhodie is the New York State Leader for both Milk & Fat for Mature Cows in both the 305-day and 365-day divisions with her record of 6-11 2x 305 50,770 4.4 2210 2.5 1276 and 365 58,710 4.4 2584 2.6 1522. A 9th generation Excellent, this exceptional daughter of Emerald-Acres-SA T-Baxter hails from the famed C Glenridge Citation Roxy (4E-97-GMD) family and is owned by Sue Mower & Dennis Treen of Maypar Farm, West Winfield, NY and Curtin Dairy, Cassville, NY. According to Bob Miller of Mil-R-Mor Farm, Orangeville, IL, the great developer of “Roxy,” there are now more than 1000 Excellent female descendants of the two-time “Queen of the Breed” and breeders around the world have shared the benefits of this great bloodline. Many of Roxy’s best descendants have called and still call New York State home, but none have made their mark by way of production that Rhodie has. Rhodie’s dam, Ridgedale-T Rhoda (2E-91 EEEEE), came to Maypar and Curtin Dairy by way of the 2004 Ridgedale Sale in Sharon Springs, NY. The second-high seller that November day at $22,000, Rhoda was a Comestar Outside-ET daughter due in May to September Storm. According to Sue Mower, Maypar and Curtin Dairy had bought some high-profile individuals from famous cow families together and Rhoda fit the bill. Comestar Outside-ET had a strong influence at Maypar, siring several outstanding, long-lived, highly-productive daughters including Maypar Oustide Lemon-ET (2E-93GMD) and her flushmate, Maypar Outside Lime-ET (3E-92), developed at Windex Farm, Schuyler, NY, so an Outside from the Roxy’s was an attractive package. Rhoda went on to make several outstanding records at Maypar, none below 1139f, with a best record of 5-02 2x 365 32,640 4.6 1510 3.0 976 and a lifetime of 154,630 4.6 7095 3.1 4856. The Maypar-Curtin team flushed Rhoda to Goldwyn and got three heifer calves. One was sold through the New York Spring Sale to R. Peter Heffering of Hanover Hill who developed so many outstanding Roxy’s. Ownership of Maypar-CD Goldwyn Ivory-ET changed different times and she would eventually score Excellent in Canada with a best record of 4-02 2x 335 26,272 4.3 1135 2.9 772. “Rhoda was never a great flush cow,” says Sue, but on April 29, 2008, she delivered Maypar-CD Baxter Rhodie. Baxter (Blitz x Mtoto) was used as a mating sire, according to Sue, because the aAa numbers lined up and his reputation for siring plenty of outstanding daughters in both the U.S. and Canada.

MAYPAR-CD BAXTER RHODIE (EX-91)

Pedigree Influence

Rhodie’s nine-generation pedigree is full of outstanding cows and bulls, something that speaks well to her superior performance. Her lineage contains the blood of many of the Holstein Breed’s most notable cows for production, type, transmitting ability, and longevity including Comestar Laurie Shiek-ET (VG-88 23), C Continental Scarlet (EX-95), Walkup Valiant Lou Ella (EX-92 GMD-DOM), Anacres Astronaut Ivanhoe (VG-88DOM), Round Oak Ivanhoe Eve (EX-94), and Glenvue Nettie Jemima (EX). Her sire stack also presents a study in Holstein history with many of the greatest bulls of all time woven together. (see sidebar)

Rhodie’s Milking Career

Always at Maypar, Rhodie is one of 150 cows on the 12-time PBR Award-winning farm that boasts a herd average of 27,375 3.9 1070 3.1 844. The Maypar team strives to be outstanding managers and pays attention to “the little things” that make for superior performance in their herd. Right from the start, Sue Mower knew that Rhodie was exceptional. “She just always had that ability to milk,” she says, and she did it easily. “She was the hardest milking 2-year-old we had ever had.” Genomic testing was just coming out at that time and Sue tested Rhodie. Today Rhodie is +1938 GTPI with +1375M +47F +12P, all values sharply above her Parent Average, See CHAMPION - Page 26 NYN February 2017 - 21

She thanked all of the sponsors, chairs, committee members and volunteers involved. This year’s theme is “All Breed Get-a-Way on Electronics Parkway”. Beth reviewed the

WHERE ARE THE HOLSTEIN BROOD COWS??? This dairy milk price situation is really a recipe for financial ruin for heavily financed dairy farmers in NY State. We sold out our final dispersal of Registered 100% Holstein cattle in August, 1976. The milk price that summer was $12.40 cwt. w/butterfat differential. What has happened is frightening! Soy milk, almond milk, and skim milk, 1% milk, and 2% fat milk – with “red cap”/whole milk priced at $5.00 gallon (2, ½-gallon containers from Upstate Milk, Buffalo, NY.) Wake up dairy farmers and let supply & demand rule! A 10-yr-old EX Holstein cow bred 6 months, without “numbers” might bring $800$900 at a herd dispersal at this time!! There is still hope in the dairy industry, for hope springs eternal!

CHAMPION - From Page 21

especially for Milk. “It’s genetics,” Sue states. “Maybe she got that really good milk gene. I firmly believe in that. You cannot put type on type on type without looking at milk production.” Rhodie’s Parent Average for Milk is +440M, so she is +935M over her dam & sire combined. Impressive. Rhodie went on to make 2-01 2x 365 37,530 3.9 1468 2.9 1070 in her first lactation. Rhodie is managed right along with the rest of the Maypar herd in a tie stall with no special treatment, adding to the sense that this is no ordinary cow. Rhodie weighs about 1700 pounds – not huge – but has the physical attributes that lead to high production. “She has so much udder capacity! She has lots of rear udder height and width and so much width through the rump,” according to Sue. Silky-hided, open ribbed, and standing on a good set of feet & legs, Rhodie is an easykeeper and does what she was born to do as a dairy cow – produce large volumes of milk efficiently. Rhodie has made several outstanding records to date and has bred back regularly, something not always easy to attain in exceptionally high producing cows. Her calving interval of 2-01, 3-04, 4-04, 5-04, and 6-11 reflects that. Her record-breaking year began with at an age when many cows are long since gone, but not Rhodie. She was just getting started! Her 12 official tests for her State Record Year (and Maypar does two-milking testing) were 138, 204, 197, 166, 172, 166, 180, 183, 143, 127, 144, and 124 lbs. All the while, Rhodie bred back and is now fresh again at 8-04 and making another outstanding record. After calving in September her first five tests range between 126 and 191 lbs. per day! Her lifetime todate, at less than nine years of age, stands at 245,415 4.1 9949 2.8 6735. Certainly anyone would want to build on such a cow, and although Rhodie has not been a terrific flush cow thus far, she will be flushed this lactation. She has three daughters for the partnership: Maypar-CD Doberman Romance (VG-85) sired by Coppertop DobermanET who has a best record of 4-00 2x 365 37,490 3.6 1341 3.1 1168 and GTPI +2081. She has a GP-82 Paul daughter, Maypar-CD Paul Romantic. Maypar-CD Smurf Royce (GP-81) with GTPI +2167, Rhodie’s daughter by Chartroise Smurf-ET, made 2-02 2x 365 28,630 3.4 982 3.0 851. Rhodie’s last calf born in September ‘16, Maypar-CD Wickham Ronelle, is a a long-legged, growthy Silverridge V Wickham-ET daughter that Sue likes very much and will genomic test in the near future. Of note, Maypar genomic tests the top end of its herd, approximately 40 percent. A cow of this magnitude is certainly a feather in the cap of any breeder and owner, and Maypar-CD Baxter Rhodie’s state-leading production, coupled with her completing nine continuous generations of Excellents, adds new fame to both her distinguished maternal line and the farm she calls home. New York is proud to boast of such a cow and it will be interesting to watch how her career continues to unfold and her ability to transmit her superiority for the Maypar & Curtin team! 26 - NYN February 2017

Feed Efficiency, Fertility Index, and Sire Calving Ease are now displayed on all versions of the pedigrees for the subject animal, sire, and dam. “Feed Efficiency and Fertility Index are two newer traits which are both included in the TPI formula, and we wanted to make them widely available for anyone to see for any Registered Holstein,” says Lindsay Worden, Executive Director, Holstein Genetic Services. “Sire Calving Ease is another trait which many breeders requested to have added to pedigrees, so we are happy to be able to make all of that information publicly available and easily accessible.”

This Month

in the NY Holstein News 1959 (Volume 14) The caliber of New York’s junior-owned show winners on the national stage is nothing new, proven by the four award winners in the 1958 Junior All-American Contest featured on the cover of the News. Hengerveld De Kol Mercedes Sue was the Junior All-American Junior Heifer Calf for Charles Hesseltine, Jr., Malone, NY. Three others were Reserve Junior All-American: Oakcrest Burke Duke Babe (Senior Heifer Calf) owned by Edward McNeil, Argyle, NY; Sawyer Polkadot Chancellor (2-YearOld Heifer) owned by Donald H. Sawyer, Watertown, NY; and Elkendale Toni Angel (4-Year-Old), owned by Sylvia Patchen, Locke, NY. Curtiss Improved Stud Service, Inc. purchased Lyon Brook Wallie Queen (EX-SMT) from Lyon Brook Farm (Archie Meek) and River Valley Farm (Mrs. G. Law & Son) for “one of the highest cash prices ever paid at private treaty and in addition furnishing semen rights to the sellers as long as the bull lives.” His 18 daughters to date averaged 15,917 3.7 582 and 82.3 points on classification, 23 of the 24 scored daughters being first calf. Sired by Winterthur Select Fobes Wallace (VGSMP), his dam was the National Champion for milk and fat, Hamaret Queen Prospector (EX), with 6-06 2x 365 35,565 3.7 1319. Fred Dorn was elected president of the New York Holstein-Friesian Association at its annual meeting in Schenectady. The Association’s budget for 1959 was approved by the membership at $49,540.00. The Convention Sale was held in Earlville and averaged $963 on 47 head. Harden Farms of Camden, NY purchased the top seller at $2525, Rag Apple Ormsby Roberts Imp (VG87), a Ceydermead Ormsby Roberts daughter, consigned by Robert Edmunds, Delevan, NY. At the Convention, Secretary William Baldwin reported for Building Committee Chairman Daniel Mayne. At the recommendation of the committee the Board of Directors at a previous meeting went on record in favor of an Association office building in Ithaca with a limit of $20,000 for the complete job. The need for different office space had been thoroughly discussed in Board meetings and speakers from the floor reiterated the reasons – lack of space, high rent, and lack of parking facilities. Monies from the Reserve Fund would be used as necessary and a building constructed as soon as possible. Holsteins were the highest percentage of cows on official DHIA testing according to Professor J. D. Burke of Cornell University. Numbers of purebreds, which accounted for 62% of all cows on official test, were as follows: 63,873 Holsteins (45.53%), 8601 Guernseys (6.09%), 7755 Jerseys (5.5%), 4230 Ayrshires (3.00%), 2609 Brown Swiss (1.82%). There were 53,490 Grades (all breeds) on test as well. Thus for all registered cows on test, Holsteins accounted for 73.35%. 32 - NYN February 2017

NATIONAL DAIRY SHRINE AWARD APPLICATIONS DUE MARCH 15 National Dairy Shrine is again seeking nominations for its most prestigious awards: Guest of Honor, Pioneer, Distinguished Dairy Cattle Breeder, Progressive Commercial Dairy Manager, and Graduate Production Award. The Guest of Honor is given to a contemporary dairy leader for outstanding accomplishments and contributions to the dairy industry. It has been awarded every year since 1949 when Dean H. Kildee was named the first Guest of Honor. Also each year, three to four living or deceased Pioneers of the dairy industry are honored by National Dairy Shrine for their service and leadership in the dairy industry. Meanwhile, the Distinguished Dairy Cattle Breeder is an award which recognizes active, progressive dairy producers who, through their expertise in managing a dairy breeding herd based upon sound genetics and business principles, serve as a model of success for fellow breeders throughout the country. All these award winners’ accomplishments are on permanent display in the National Dairy Hall of Fame at the National Dairy Shrine Museum in Fort Atkinson, Wis. One of National Dairy Shrine’s newer awards, the Progressive Commercial Dairy Manager recognition, is given to producers ages 21 to 50 who have introduced and applied effective management and business practices that help achieve more profitable dairy businesses, as well as contributing leadership to dairy organizations. The Graduate Dairy Production Award recognizes and assists qualified two-year and four-year agricultural college graduates efforts to pursue a career in commercial dairy farming and to gain ownership of dairy cattle with the intent of growing their dairy herd. The applicant must be employed in a herd management role on a commercial dairy when completing the award application. The winner will receive a $2,500 award from National Dairy Shrine. Nominations or applications must be submitted on official forms by March 15. If you know someone who should be nominated for these awards, please visit the NDS website at www.dairyshrine.org and click on “Adult Awards” to view a complete listing of each award form. Then you can download the application for the respective award desired. The annual National Dairy Shrine awards banquet will be held on October 5 in Madison, Wisconsin. For more information about the banquet please contact the National Dairy Shrine Office at info@dairyshrine. org. National Dairy Shrine membership information is also available online at www.dairyshrine.org. Dairy enthusiasts are encouraged to become a part of this important dairy organization to help honor our dairy heritage, inspire future leaders and promote the dairy industry.

NHWSO Applications Due Applications for the National Holstein Women’s Scholarship Organization’s scholarship are due February 15, 2017. The organization will award at least one scholarship of $1000 at this year’s National Convention in Bellevue, WA. Applicants must be a member of either the National Junior Holstein Association or Holstein USA, and have dairy involvement. Applicants must also have completed at least one year of college, university, or technical school. Rules and applications can be found on the organization’s website, www.nhwsoscholarship.com/ scholarship-application/. Scholarship finalists will be notified by April 15, 2017.

Well, we sure had a lot of fun. And we accomplished our visions. We did it all with good humor and ultimate respect for each other.

Your expressions of Happy Retirement, Good Luck, and Thank You have been profound and appreciated more than I can put into words. My years at New York Holstein have been a life chapter that has enriched my life in so many ways. I look forward to the next chapter, as I take what you’ve taught me and move ahead. If ever a group proved that positive attitudes, mutual respect, and confidence in each other’s opinions can get big things done, we did it. It’s teamwork. And I thank and applaud you. No matter what the project, big or small, it works. Thank you for allowing me this chapter of my life to guide, join, and cheerlead the very best team ever.

See you at Carousel. Take care, Patsy NYN February 2017 - 33
