From the Editor Happy New Year! As we stand at the beginning of a new year full of endless possibilities and potential, I wish everyone the best of health, happiness, and prosperity in 2017. We have an exciting year planned for the News and I hope you will be part of our endeavors in 2017. I am hearing about several exciting sales and new ventures for the upcoming 12 months and I applaud those who are thinking outside the box, daring to try something innovative, and taking risks. The old adage, “Nothing ventured, nothing gained,” which I learned MICHAEL McCAFFREY dates back to the 1300’s, is perhaps a healthy perspective for a new year. Certainly it can apply to each of us personally. Perhaps we have an individual goal or wish for ourselves for the year ahead. “Nothing ventured, nothing gained.” Maybe this familiar adage applies to our Holstein Club and what we do on a local level. Maybe we attempt something for the first time – an open show, host a tag sale, a silent auction, or sponsor a club tour … “Nothing ventured, nothing gained.” Or maybe we think about how we promote our hard work and breeding program in the year ahead. With tight profit margins, uncertain milk prices, and all that goes with dairy farming, a Registered Holstein farm’s premier asset is the herd and all the genetics that make it unique. Land and machinery and buildings are all vital to a farm, but what makes us all passionate for this business is the Registered Holstein. It’s the basis of our Association, our monthly News, our local club, our junior program … we all share the same drive for the Registered Holstein cow. So maybe a regular promotion program for your farm is a goal for 2017. Our ads start at $30 for Member-Directory ads. Feature a cow of the month, potential show calves for sale, a sale consignment, or just keep your farm name, contact information, herd average and BAA in front of readers. Need help with ad content? That’s what I do, and I would enjoy working with you. So maybe our mantra for ourselves, our clubs, our farms, and our ad promotion in 2017 is “Nothing ventured, nothing gained.” I hope all your ventures are worthwhile in the year ahead.

Executive Manager’s

Report

KELLY REYNOLDS

Dear NY Holstein Members and Enthusiasts, As I sit down to write my first Executive Manager Report snow is falling in Western New York. I am excited to take on this position for the Association. Growing up with registered Holsteins and being active in the Holstein organization has laid the groundwork for my passion for the breed and this industry. The holidays have wrapped up and I hope you all had time to enjoy your family and friends this holiday season. It’s such a nice time to see everyone, reflect on the past year, and spend time with the ones you love. My first order of business is thanking Patsy Gifford for everything she has done for this association. Personally, working with Patsy these past two months has been invaluable to my transition into this role. She has patiently and thoroughly explained things to me and helped me whenever I have had questions. She has been such an asset to the association and the Holstein breed in New York these past 15 years. I remembered when I moved here from Wisconsin and was a student at Cornell she was so welcoming and encouraging of my presence in New York. Please take time to thank Patsy for her time given to New York Holstein. She will be at convention for a few days so don’t miss your chance to say hello and thank you. Convention planning is wrapping up nicely. The committee headed up by Beth Keene and Kerry Adams have put together a great event and we hope you can all join us January 12-14 and 14-16 for the junior portion. The very capable Junior Executive Committee has been working diligently to organize the Junior Convention. I remember growing up how convention was one of my favorite events to attend. It is where I met lifelong friends and learned so many useful life skills. The Holstein breed provides so much to its followers but the biggest thing being a part of the Holstein fraternity offers is friendship. No matter where I seem to go in life I am somehow connected to the Holstein breed and dairy industry, convention is a great place to foster those relationships. The convention sale lineup has a great representation of elite Holstein cattle. I know that times are tough for farmers right now but it truly is a buyer’s market. If you’re looking to get into a special cow family whether it be high genomic or showring type the New York 10 - NYN January 2017

Convention ET Sale on Thursday, January 12 is the place to do it. It’s never too early to start thinking about Spring Sale consignments either. The spring sale will be held in conjunction with Spring Carrousel. If you have a special one to consign I’d love to come take a look. Please feel free to introduce yourself at convention, I look forward to getting to know the membership better in the coming year. I have been fortunate to attend a few county Holstein club banquets and I would like to thank the different clubs for inviting me. If I was unable to attend your county banquet hopefully I can make your county show or another event in the coming year. I’d like to get out on some farms this spring as well so if you’re classifying or would just like to have me out let me know. I’d like to tell you a little bit about myself for those of you that don’t know me. I grew up in Wisconsin, my mom, Katie Coyne and step dad, Grant DeBruin milked 60 cows under the Mill-Wheel Farm prefix. My dad, Terry Lee, is a cattle hoof trimmer. My older sister, Maureen, works in sales and marketing for a dairy products company in central Wisconsin and my younger brother, Wyatt, works for a dairy cattle hoof trimmer. We sold our cows in 2008 but I kept a few animals from my foundation cow family. While I wasn’t raised in New York I have strong ties here as my mom is originally from Avon, NY where her parents, Tom and Teresa Coyne, had Mill-Wheel Farm and my grandpa Tom was an auctioneer. I grew up very active in Junior Holstein competing in many events including, speech, quiz bowl, jeopardy, judging contests, and showing. I was a national YDJM and DJM semifinalist for Wisconsin, looking through and reading New York’s DJM books was a real treat this year. Wow, we have so many youth to be proud of and a future to be excited about! I attended Cornell University where I majored in Animal Science and was on the National Champion Judging team in 2011. After school I moved to western New York and worked for Oakfield Corners Dairy and Lamb Farms as a herdsperson and then the genetics barn manager. During this time, I also helped on my husband’s farm, Reyncrest Farm, in Corfu, NY. My husband Tyler and I own a few cattle and work with the farm’s show animals. Tyler’s family has a 1,000 cow dairy and he works alongside his siblings, Mackenzie and Andy, and parents, John and Shelley. Tyler and I got married this past summer and bought a house right around the corner from Reyncrest. While the farm and our jobs keep us busy we also enjoy spending time with friends and family and our dog, Chesney. I can’t say enough how excited I am to be taking over the Executive Manager position. To be able to work with Holstein cattle, breeders and supporters is my dream job. I know I have big shoes to fill in Patsy’s absence but I know that we as an association will only build on the strong foundation we have. I will be working from home a few days a week and in the office a few days so please feel free to get ahold of me, I am always available by phone and email. Stay in touch and I hope to see you at Convention, Kelly Reynolds

Obituaries ď ˘ GLENN D. HASTINGS

Glenn D. Hastings, 92, of Morley, NY passed away peacefully at home on December 16, 2016 while surrounded by family and under the care of Hospice and Palliative Care of the St. Lawrence Valley. Calling hours were held December 20 at the Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Leary Funeral Home in Canton, NY. Contributions in his memory may be made to Hospice and Palliative Care; 6805 US Hwy 11, Potsdam, NY 13676. Glenn is survived by his loving wife, Leila, of 69 years, by their two sons, Stephen and Christopher Hastings, both of Canton and by their two daughters, Nancy Hastings Bristol of Canton and Judy Hastings of Wanakena. He is also survived by numerous grandchildren and greatgrandchildren, which were his pride and joy. He is predeceased by his parents and all of his siblings, Warren and Dean Hastings, Anna Faye Smith, Beatrice MacCauley, Arloween Bishop, and June Young. Glenn was born February 12, 1924 in Richville, the son of Warren Sr. and Lena M. (Raven) Hastings. A graduate of Heuvelton High School, he went on to attend Canton ATI to study Electrical Engineering before deciding to put his education on hold during World War II. Shortly after enlisting in the U.S. Army, he became severely ill with rheumatic fever. After several months of being hospitalized, he was medically discharged from the service. On March 6, 1947, Glenn married the love of his life, Leila D. Bush, in Morley, after two weeks of courting. Glenn worked as a farmer for many years and later became a breeder for Dr. Smith, Curtis Breeding Service, and ultimately American Breeders Service, where he retired as District Manager. All the while, he and Leila were successful business owners, to include several real estate properties in the area. In 1966, they built and operated Hastings Country Store for 21 years and later the Ye Olde Gin Mill bar for another eight years. When Glenn was young, he enjoyed horseback riding and eventually went on to hold many horse and cattle shows.

The 62nd All-New York Awards The New York Holstein News is pleased to present the winners of the 62nd annual All-New York and Junior All-New York Contests. This year, over 150 entries vied for honors in the Contests, down a bit from a year ago, however the depth and strength of each class and the quality of each entrant reflect the high caliber of show cattle found in the Empire State. From the highpowered shows in New York State, beginning with April’s New York Spring Dairy Carousel through the international shows in the fall, many of this year’s state competitors went on to National shows with several earning All-American nominations as well. New York senior and junior members are to be congratulated on a fantastic 2016 show season. Serving on this year’s All-New York and Junior AllNew York panel were David Bergeron, judge at the New York Junior Holstein Show in April, Justin Burdette, officiant at the New York International Spring Holstein Show, Alicia Lamb, judge at the New York State Fair Youth (4-H) Show, Jeff Stephens, judge at the New York State Fair Open Show, and Michael Wolfe, Richfield Springs, NY. The five judges worked meticulously to place this year’s classes. Of note, no judge placed a class in which he or she had a current ownership. Many of the classes in the 2016 Contests include past All-New York and Junior All-New York winners as well as All-American and Junior All-American alumnae. The classes reflect those of the national competitions. New York breeders and all exhibitors participating in this year’s Contests can be very proud of all their accomplishments and for making our 2016 competitions so memorable.

MULTIPLE OWNERSHIPS

Many Empire State exhibitors can claim more than one award winner in this year’s Contests. Several of New York’s most prominent and wellrecognized prefixes are found on more than one award winner: Curr-Vale, Lantland, Luncrest, Midas-Touch, Mikelholm, Oakfield/OCD, Ovaltop, Pavany, RansomRail, Reyncrest, Ridgedale, and Ziems/ZBW. In addition, several other of New York’s most competitive show strings can claim multiple winners in the Contests including Jamie & Petra Black, Lisa Sharpe, Tillapyke Holsteins, and Wall Street Dairy. Certainly worthy of mention is a first for the AllNew York Contest - Luncrest Farm – the Lundy Family, Granville, NY – had the All-New York, the Reserve All-New York, and the High Honorable Mention AllNew York Best Three Female groups. More Best Three Female groups competed in this year’s Contest than in many years, a true feat of excellence for all the breeders who entered.

SIRES OF THE WINNERS

A total of 13 bulls sired more than one award winner in this year’s Contests. Continuing his reign as one of the all-time great sires of show-winning daughters, Braedale Goldwyn has the highest number of award winners at eight, followed by Pine-Tree Sid-ET and ValBisson Doorman-ET who both have six prize-winning

daughters. Maple-Downs-I G W Atwood-ET and Gillette Windbrook-ETS each have five award-winning daughters in this year’s Contests, followed closely by Goldwyn son, Ms Chassitys Gold Chip-ET with four. Goldwyn’s influence continues in his sons with Mr Apples Armani-ET, Heavenly Golden Dreams-ET, Lirr Drew Dempsey, Gorwood-D Molsons Gold, Scientific Destry-ET, BKB Goldwyn Atlas-ET, and Gillete JordanETS all siring winners this year.

THE QUALITY OF COMPETITION

Any state would be hard pressed to have the depth of quality and numbers found in the All-New York and Junior All-New York Contests. Strong participation by our breeders and most-recognized show herds is a true testament to the caliber of our competition. It is also gratifying to see the number of entrants who also competed on the national stage. In addition, a significant number of Red & White entries were part of this year’s Contests, and while no Red & White show placings are counted, still many of those entered received recognition from black & white show placings or reputation, and many of them are also vying for honors in the Red & White All-American Contest. Looking at the classification scores on the cows competing this year really tells the story of just how strong our All-New York Contests are! One cow – Ridgedale-T Raichu-Red, is EX-96. Six cows in the Contests are scored EX-94 – the All-New York 4-YearOld, the All-New York Aged Cow, the Honorable Mention Aged Cow, the Reserve 150,000-Lb. Cow, the High Honorable Mention 150,000-Lb. Cow, and the High Honorable Mention Junior All-New York Aged Cow. Another six cows are EX-93 including several of the younger cows. Seven of these cows above 93 points are junior-owned! Also included in this year’s Contests are two 17th generation Excellents! Combined they were the All-New York Produce of Dam and each also won Junior All-New York recognition for Emily Mikel, Stafford, NY. All the breeders and owners of these highcaliber cows are to be congratulated. Our competitors are also outstanding producers, with numerous cows in the Contests sporting records nearing 40,000 lbs. of milk. Among this year’s honorees there are “genomic” cows as well. To say the least, this year’s Contests and cows are world-class! For the 13th year, Dr. Brad & Ruth Pedersen of Delaware Valley Vet Service, Delhi, NY, are co-sponsors of the All-New York and Junior All-New York Contests with the New York Holstein News. On behalf of the entire New York Holstein fraternity, and especially those receiving awards in this year’s Contests, we thank the Pedersens for their continued support and generosity to this long-standing Empire State tradition. Congratulations to all the award recipients in this year’s Contests and thank you to everyone who participated this year. They were indeed impressive classes and a fitting conclusion to a great year of shows in New York State. Best wishes to everyone competing in the year ahead.

Happy New Year! It’s hard to believe that 2016 has already come to an end! It feels as if just yesterday I was on a plane arriving home from the Cornell University Dairy Science trip to Italy that took place last January. Though it feels as if that occurred so briefly ago, I Lindsey McMahon am at this very moment in warm and cheerful Myanmar on yet another Cornell affiliated trip one full year later. The many travel opportunities that this university has already blessed me with and will continue to bless me with in the future, are just one of the many things I am very thankful for this new year. Other things I am of course thankful for include my family, friends, my farm and this organization. Though it may not quite be sunny and 75 degrees in good old New York State there is still plenty to look forward to with this new year, including…. you guessed it…convention!!! Convention is right around the corner and I hope each and every one of you is more than excited to attend. As juniors members, this organization offers endless opportunities for the development of valuable leadership and career skills that many fail to ever master. Those of you who participate in speech will be able to deliver presentations with ease for the remainder of your lives. Those of you in jeopardy or dairy bowl are clearly able to think quickly on your feet and comprehend material of many sorts! Members that take the time to craft DJM books are compiling year-to-year resumes and gaining valuable interview practice. These skills are something each of you will carry with you throughout all of your lives. With that, I highly encourage each of you to take advantage of these opportunities. If not this year, then next! With convention right around the corner, I am sure many of you may be feeling a bit nervous. As a member who has participated in speech, dairy bowl, and has served as the Jr. Executive Committee dairy bowl chairperson I can tell you that I have been nervous more times in my life than I needed to be. The competitions each of you participates in are meant to be fun learning opportunities. With that, try to keep the following tips in mind… 1. Be Prepared: I know each you have been working tirelessly to prepare for individual contests. For dairy bowl and jeopardy, it is important to practice questions both 32 - NYN January 2017

2. Go With Your Gut! I have lost count of the number of times I have been in front of a microphone with a specific line of my speech memorized and my head has me blurt out something else, or when I have thought I knew the answer to a dairy bowl question but I second guess myself and give an incorrect answer. Often times, the first thing that comes to your mind during these competitions will be right. Take deep breaths, focus, and don’t doubt yourself! Always go with your gut! 3. HAVE FUN! The entire purpose of convention is for juniors all across the state to come together and have fun! While competitions may often times feel like a lot of pressure, it is important to remember why you are there. Don’t let the stress of talking in front of a crowd or answering questions let you miss out on having a great time.

O-H-M Junior News By Brogan Graves

I became news reporter at our December meeting at Insight Dairy. Our agenda was election of officers, gift exchange, and dairy bowl/dairy jeopardy sign ups. O-H-M Junior Club results are: President, Austin

Dairy Dilemma Questions Senior: What form of measurement is most often used to assess cow comfort in free stall barns? Junior: Perinatal calf mortality is a significant problem more commonly referred to as what? Novice: What dairy drink comes with your school lunch every day?

Senior Answer: Stall Use Index Junior Answer: Still Births Novice Answer: Milk

Hello Juniors!

alone and with your teams. I have found in the past that “dividing and conquering” works best. Try to have a general knowledge of all possible subjects that you may be quizzed on. Then divide subjects between team members and have each person know in depth information on one topic. For example, Susie has studied nutrition tirelessly, while Jack learned all he could about crops. For speech contests, practice makes perfect! Recite your prepared speech over and over and over again both alone and in front of others, making sure to speak slowly and clearly. Extemporaneous speech is a bit more tricky. Try to study material in broader subjects with a few specific topics known in depth. This will give you a better chance of forming a well-rounded response when writing your speech.

DR. LARRY E. DARLING

Dr. Larry E. Darling, 73, of Roxbury, New York, passed away peacefully Wednesday, November 2nd at Memorial Sloan Kettering in New York City, surrounded by his loving family after courageously battling cancer for 16 years. Born April 15th, 1943 in Jamestown, NY, Larry was the son of the late Gweneth Clement Darling and Glenn C. Darling, Jr. Larry is survived by his beloved wife Jeanne of 47 years from Roxbury: son Jeffrey and daughter-in-law Paula and their 4 children Jacob, Kyle, Peyton, and Liana of Schenevus, NY; daughter Laurie Darling Gutheil and son-in-law Jason of Queensbury, NY; son Christopher and girlfriend Kendal Sprague of Roxbury, NY; sister Linda Powell and brother-in-law Dr. Joesef Powell of Conewango NY, brother and sister-in-law Vincent and Anne Warner of Masonville, NY; brother and sister-in-law Charles and Philena Holdridge of Pontiac, MI; brother and sister-in-law Richard and Teri Holdridge of Bloomville, NY; along with many nieces and nephews. Larry’s love for registered Holsteins was passed down through multiple generations of the Darling Family. Farming was in his blood. As a boy, Larry was active in Future Farmers of America, New York Holstein Association, and 4-H. Larry grew up in Conewango Valley and graduated from Pine Valley Central School (Chautauqua County, NY) in 1961. He played basketball and track and field, while excelling in the pole vault, by placing 1st in the county and 2nd in sectionals. Larry displayed his talents for the arts by participating in the school musical in each of his junior and senior years. Larry was outstanding playing the French horn while being a member of the school marching and concert bands. He was also selected to the prestigious Chautauqua All-County Band and a member of the FFA National Band. He served as the state treasurer of the FFA and was exceptional showing cows in 4-H. At the New York State fair, Larry was the state champion for judging cows, a 4-generation feat accomplished by his father in 1936, as well as his son Jeff and grandson, Peyton. Upon graduation, Larry operated the family farm for a year before heading to Ithaca, NY to attend Cornell University. Larry graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree from Cornell University in 1967. He worked diligently at the Cornell dairy barns throughout his 7 years at Cornell to pay for his education. He was a member of Alpha Zeta, a fraternity devoted to the furtherance of agriculture and life sciences. He continued his education at Cornell University and graduated in 1969 with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree. He went to auctioneer school in Mason City, Iowa and volunteered his time and skills for decades as the auctioneer for the Delaware County Holstein Club at its’ annual spring calf sale at the Delaware County Fair and other community events. As a veterinarian, Larry took great pride in his work; his love for animals was exemplary in his demeanor, approach, and care. He worked countless hours to save sick cows; never giving up on an injured animal if there was any chance of improvement. He expanded his education by obtaining accreditation as a licensed state veterinarian. Throughout his career, Larry serviced over 50 dairy farms and held rabies clinics for small animals. As a farmer, he understood the economics of the dairy farming industry and was always cognizant and fair with his services rendered. Larry was a leader in the community. He served as a member of the Roxbury Central School Board for 10 years, while serving as board president for 5 years. He was a member of Cornell Cooperative Extension of Delaware County and the Delaware County Holstein Club of which he also served as president. A little more than a month after graduation, Larry married the love of his 42 - NYN January 2017

life, Jeanne Marie Holdridge on July 19, 1969. The two of them embarked on a journey of family, friends, farming and veterinary medicine. Larry was a true family man: with unwavering love and devotion to his family. He enjoyed spending time watching his children and grandchildren play sports, show cows, and attend concerts. He always made time to teach his children lifelong skills through preparation, planning, and showing registered Holsteins at the county, state, and national dairy shows. One of Larry’s highlights in the show ring was watching Chris show his homebred intermediate calf Darling Farm Luke Jasmine at the 1997 mid-east fall national show in Louisville, KY. Watching from the stands, Larry learned that Chris and Jasmine had defeated the 1997 open show World Dairy Expo winner. Larry loved to travel the world with his family and friends. He traveled across the country multiple times visiting family and dairy friends from Cornell. He traveled to Europe three times with the Saint Rose Women’s Soccer team. Another highlight of Larry’s was being in Pensacola, FL in the fall of 2011. He was strong enough to witness Laurie coach the women’s soccer team at Saint Rose to the 2011 National Championship. Larry was recognized as a master breeder from the Delaware County Holstein Club. Along with his wife Jeanne, they were recognized as honorary members in 1992. Larry proudly bred over 25 excellent cows and bulls along with one all-American and three junior all-American nominations with Holstein cattle. In addition, he took great pride in earning five best bred and owned awards at National Holstein Shows along with receiving multiple premier breeder and exhibitor awards at the Delaware County Holstein Show. His favorite cow, Jennie, lived to be 15 years. She produced nearly 300,000 pounds of milk with over 10,000 pounds of butterfat. Jennie has links to most of the offspring on the family farm over the past 25 years. After battling cancer for 5 years, in 2006 Larry transitioned the Darling Farm and dairy production to organic. He has been a strong supporter of the vision and direction of Organic Valley. Besides his parents, Larry is predeceased by his sister Nancy Darling Chyu who died on October 24, 2000. Larry left an indelible impression on everyone he met. Those who knew Larry were drawn to his humor, quick wit, and charisma. Those who loved Larry will remember him for his compassionate and generous spirit. He expected best efforts from his children and those he worked with. Hard work was a virtue that he demonstrated every day. He was a man with integrity, and lived each day with honor and pride. The family greatly appreciates family members and friends who helped take care of Larry throughout his tremendous battles with cancer. A special thank you to Joanne McLaughlin, Dr. Esperanza Papadopoulos, Dr. Paul Hamlin, and the stem cell transplant and medical oncologist teams at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center as well as the nurses and staff that cared for him. A memorial service was held November 9 at the Community Church in Delhi with buial following in New Kingston Valley Cemetery. Pastor Frank MacCracken officiated the ceremony along with brother-in-law, Pastor Charles Holdridge. For memorial contributions, the family has established a fund for youth involved with fitting, showing, and judging dairy cattle at the Delaware County Fair. In addition, a memorial scholarship will be created at Cornell University in the memory of Dr. Larry E. Darling for students who originated from a New York State dairy farm and enroll in the College of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell University. Contributions can be sent to: Community Bank, 124 Delaware Street, Walton, NY 13856, c/o Dr. Larry E. Darling Memorial Fund.

You Asked.

GENEX Delivered. A Global Index Designed for Commercial Producers The Ideal Commercial Cow (ICC$) index uses real-time economic indicators and science-based genetic principles to address the needs of commercial dairy producers. The index incorporates data-driven genetic evaluations and research from multiple sources.

ICC$ Compared to LNM$ The ICC$ index puts more emphasis on health and fertility selection as well as longevity. Specifically, ICC$ leads to improved female fertility as well as fewer health events through inclusion of the GENEX proprietary health traits – Subclinical Ketosis, Metritis and Foot Health.

ICC$ Compared to GTPI ® The ICC$ index stops the trend for increased stature and focuses on efficient cows. Selection is for cows with optimal body condition and problem-free transition periods. Additionally, the ICC$ index provides greater improvement in health and fertility traits while focusing on longevity.

“Functional, durable and invisible – that is what I’m looking for. That is what ICC$ selection provides.” Darin Dykstra, Dykstra Dairy, Maurice, Iowa
