Distinguished Young Breeder Shaun Hyde
T
he 2014 Wayne Webster Outstanding Young Breeder Award was presented to Shaun and Betty Hyde of Morley, Michigan during the 2014 Michigan Holstein Association Annual Awards Banquet. The purpose of the award is to recognize a young member or couple who as a breeder of registered Holstein cattle have contributed to the Holstein breed in a positive way. Shaun grew up on their family farm, Moram Holsteins, and has spent his entire life around Holstein cattle. At age seven, he would ride with his grandpa, George Robb of Rustic Herd, to look at cattle and visit farms. Shaun eventually began to show locally and work with different herds at shows during the summer. Shaun’s keen eye for cattle began to develop.
Sherry Meyer, President of the Michigan Holstein Association, awards the Wayne Webster Outstanding Young Breeder Award to Shaun and Betty Hyde.
Following high school, Shaun graduated from Michigan State University’s Ag Tech Dairy program. Shaun sharpened his judging skills while at college, even earning top honors at the North American Judging contest in Louisville. Shaun returned home to farm with his parent’s, Dick & Pat Hyde, full time. As time permitted, he continued to take some time to judge some shows and work as a fitter. Shaun was able to travel the country and met many breeders and see some great cattle that really inspired him. As Shaun and Dick forged their herd, they wanted to breed an animal that milked but also looked good. Breeding and matings became a large part of Shaun’s responsibility on the farm. The BAA for the Moram herd is currently 106.8. The herd is 100% registered and had a 2012 rolling herd average for 50 cows of 24,745 milk 4.0% 979 fat and 3.0% 752 protein. “We breed for a functional type cow, that can merchandise themselves and put milk in the tank,” explained Shaun.

Shaun’s keen eye sought out cows to purchase, including C Cityview Inspiration Penny 4E-94 and Mar-Ro Del-Rbn Shasta Babe 2E-90. Shaun and his grandpa found Penny when she was a calf who has now developed into a 4E-94 cow that has produced two Excellent and three Very Good offspring. Babe has four Very Good offspring to date. Shaun also is involved by serving on the Michigan Holstein Association Board of Directors. He is active in Michigan Farm Bureau, Michigan Milk Producers Association and the Montcalm County DHIA.

C.M. Bottema III Receives Lifetime Membership Award
T
he Indiana Holstein Association recognized C.M. Bottema the III as the recipient of the lifetime me mbership award.
C.M. hails from a family that has revolutionized the Holstein breed. Not only have they had a huge impact on Hoosier Holsteins, but equally as important their impact has been felt by the entire Holstein breed as we know it. Consider the many breed firsts this family has garnered: 1) Bred the first bull in the Holstein breed to score EX-97, Zeldenrust Fond Memory 2) Fond Memory was also a 7X All-American nominee as well as a 6X All-Canadian Nominee, along with being a multiple winner of each awards. 3) Fond Memory was the first bull of the Holstein breed in one year to be Nominated All-American himself, as well as have a milking daughter nominated and a Senior Get Nominated the same year. 4) Fond Memory sired the first Junior Get in the breed, to be All-American after winning at three national shows and three state fairs in one year. 5) This family bred the first Holstein cow to produce over 10,000lbs of milk lifetime, Zeldenrust Pontiac Korndyk. Pontiac was also a National Grand Champion, score EX-95 and had 14 natural calves. 6) They bred the first cow to go 4E and was recognized as a GMD while being scored EX-97, Zeldenrust Mistress Roxann. 7) Their cow Cash-Mar Xmas Perfect was the breed’s first GMD cow to have three Excellent offspring. 8) They are breeders of an EX-97 point bull and cow. 9) Imagine the breed today without the names of such popular bulls and cows like Durham, Goldwyn, Atwood, Apple, Barbie and Della. Each one of these animals and so many more breed leaders trace back to one of the breeds all time best bulls, Walkway Chief Mark. Mark himself is a maternal grandson to a cow bred by this illustrious family, Cash-Mar Triune Burke Maxine. 10) This family consisted of a grandfather, three sons, and a grandson who worked together as well as developing their own herds, to build some of the top genetics for type and production, and the most sought after cattle of their time. Together they accounted for nearly 100 All-American nominations and awards. As well as numerous National Grand champions in both the show ring and in the production line. They all served on the board for Indiana Holsteins, held offices including President and represent Indiana as delegates at numerous national conventions.
their showstoppers to the national show in Waterloo, Iowa. At the end of the day these two men had seven class winners, and three champions. Keep in mind these were primarily homegrown cattle competing with some of the likes as Curtiss Candy, Romandale, Paclamar, Allen Hetts and R. Peter Heffering, to name a few. Upon his graduation from Purdue University, this honoree returned to the home farm to work with his father. The farm included 30 employees, 1500 head of cattle and 1000 acres of farm land. C.M. helped his father merchandise cattle around the globe. His primary responsibilities included taking care of the registered herd and show herd. The show herd eventually accumulated 76 All-American nominations. The registered herd today is still fourth all time for breeding and developing the most EX-95 or higher cows. Along the way he developed his own prefix Cash-Mar-CM and bred several animals recognized as All-Americans himself. Most notably was Cash-Mar-CM Astronaut Socks a 3X All-American nominee. Father and son sold and leased cattle to breeders throughout Indiana and the United States. In the 1980’s when agriculture economics were hit hard, the family farm felt the huge impact. After his father passed away, the son made the difficult decision to sell the herd and the farm, so that they would not leave others financially stranded like many had done to them. Once everything was accounted for and he had found new employment for each employee, C.M. looked into new ventures and life goals, true to his grandfathers Zeldenrust name and the seldom rest philosophy. In 1986 C.M. graduated from the American Auctioneer College in Iowa. He also received his real estate license in 1986. In 1991 he opened a Re/Max real estate firm in Avon, Indiana. In 1996 he designed and built an 8000 square foot state of the art facility that earned the Re/Max International Design Award. His firm become the number one firm in its marketplace. He earned the Certified Residential Specialist Award and Broker of the Year honor, each designations that less than 10% of all realtors receive. Today C.M. has sold the firm, but remains on as a broker. He enjoys making his own line of cheese. He still follows Holstein circles and enjoys every year attending the Holstein show at the Indiana State Fair and visiting with lifelong friends. Congratulations to the recipient of Indiana’s Lifetime Member Award, C.M. Bottema the III. Submitted by Dru Mercer, Indiana Holstein Association.
C.M. Bottema the III’s grandfather arrived in the United States in 1896 from the Netherlands at the age of 18. After milking for other herds in Pennsylvania and Kentucky, he purchased a farm near Beach Grove, Indiana and register the prefix Zeldenrust. The name Zeldenrust is Dutch and means “seldom rest”, a characteristic that this family would forever be known for. Though he had several children, three entered the registered Holstein business like their father. Two of these sons, an uncle and the father to this year’s honoree, impacted the breed like few ever will. In 1961 they combined the best of each of their herds to make a show string envied by any then or since. They took Michigan-Indiana Holstein News

Dean Beer Honored as Indiana Master Breeder
D
ean Beer is the 2014 recipient of the Indiana Holstein Association Master Breeder Award.
Dean has spent a lifetime of breeding a herd based on type and longevity, while managing the herd for high profitable production. He is a second generation dairyman who has participated in both state and national Holstein activities for 41 years. Beginning with the purchase of six registered heifers in 1961, this honoree has bred and developed a herd of 100% homebred cows that consist of 220 milking animals that have been on DHIA test for 37 years. The herd has consistently seen over 21,875 pounds of milk 696 pounds of fat and 658 pounds of protein for a RHA for several years. Over the course of time he has bred 50 Excellent Holstein individuals. During the 1980’s when time allowed, the herd was very successful on the tanbark trail earning such honors as the 1977 and 1980 Indiana State Fair Grand Champion Bred and Owned animal, 1980 Reserve Grand Champion at the Indiana State Fair along with the coveted Premier Breeder Banner, and 3rd place Best Three Females at the World Dairy Expo International Holstein Show. In 1981 the herd exhibited the Reserve Grand Champion female at the Kentucky State Fair and in 1989 the Grand Champion cow of the Indiana State Fair Junior Show. In 1981 the herd represented all of Indiana when it graced the front cover of the Holstein World with four homebred Excellent cows posing in front of their lovely homestead. As the farm and herd grew, the opportunity to go out and show with a string of homebred beauties was not as easily available. However, when the right one came along they still made sure she had her opportunity to compete.
Besides showing the family has been active for many years in supporting county, district and state sales. The philosophy of merchandising has always been only selling from the top of the herd and one that will prove successful for the new owner. This has been proven a successful plan when you look at just a few of the buyers of cattle from this herd. Hanover Hill Farms of Ontario, owner of Dewbrook Elevation Tony Brett EX-91-3E, Doug Maddox of California, purchased Dewbrook Bootmaker Joan EX-90, Pappy Farms of Utah, purchasers of Dewbrook Silver Tim Angie EX91 and Indiana breeders Ron and Eric Fuhrman buyers of Dewbrook Master Joni EX-90. As a breeder, Dean Beer has sold 22 animals that have went on to score Excellent for their new owners along with countless others that have been scored Very Good and all producing large volumes of profitable milk. Dean has been married to his wife Jennifer for 48 years and together they have raised two children, served on a variety of local committees and organizations as well as the state Holstein association, and grown a successful farming operation of well over 1500 acres.

The herd has always been bred with type and stature in mind. This was true when building the herd using such bulls as Elevation, Valiant, Bootmaker, Admiral and Warden. Bulls like these were selected and then mated to cows like Dewbrook Fury Dewdrop EX-92-3E GMD and her daughter Dewbrook Bootmaker Dewmore EX-90 GMD to serve as a foundation to grow from. Other high scored and foundation cows consisted of Dewbrook Dividend Arlene EX-92-2E, Dewbrook Master Peache EX-92-2E, Dewbrook Pawnee Star Bunny EX-91-2E and Dewbrook Elevation Tony Brett EX-91-3E just to name a few.

was told from the very beginning that I would be expected to work my way up to my first calf, and that is just what I did. Before I get too more in depth, I have to introduce you to a main character in my story, my aunt Jess. Jess got me started in my Holstein career, and she has been my biggest role model since day one. I tagged along with Jess around the farm almost every day, helping her with whatever needed to be done. Like most little girls, when it came to chores feeding the baby calves was my favorite task. I took pride in this job because at the time it was really the only thing I could do on my own. After the babies were fed and happy, we then would proceed to the show animals. Every day, Jess and I would lead and wash our beautiful show girls. After helping on the farm for a while with these various activities and learning the ropes, I finally earned my first show calf Geurink Lee Jasmyn. Jasmyn had my heart. As much as I already loved the farm, I now had an added incentive. I couldn’t wait to get there every day and usually tried making my Aunt Jess have sleepovers with me. Now that I had Jasmyn I couldn’t wait for the fair to get here. I washed and worked with Jas every single day until the

$1000 to either put towards school or an animal. The obvious choice for me was the animal! I was also the top overall junior again the next year, but you are only eligible to collect the prize once in each division. With this scholarship money and some other earnings from my summer dairy adventures, my grandparents decided that they would take me to the Autumn Opportunity Sale that fall. I carefully studied all of the pretty heifers in the sale line up, but one immediately caught my eye. I looked up her pedigree in the catalog and found that she was a granddaughter of Krull Broker Elegance out of a VG-88 two year old, and I figured there was probably a good chance I wouldn’t be able to afford her. I am the type of girl though, that if I want something badly enough I will try to make it happen, and well, that’s just what I did! I went and found my grandma and showed her my find, she agreed that she would match my funds. I then called up my Aunt Jess and told her the story, she agreed that she trusted my judgment and would also go in on this spring calf with me. Before the heifer entered the sale ring, we had decided that we would spend no more than $3,900 on her – three equal contributions of $1300. She had the potential to be my first purchase ever. When she got in the ring all I remember hearing is the “yeeeeeep!” from the guys taking the bids. My initial thought was that I had no chance to have this heifer that I had already fallen in love with. At this point my grandma was in a bidding war with another man. The price got to $3900 and I heard the words “SOLD!” come out of the auctioneer’s voice. My heart sank, until I realized that that this little heifer was headed home with us! Budjon-JK Dundee Emerald became the new love of my life, and my very first major purchase! The older I became, the more involved I wanted to be come in the dairy industry. When I was 12 years old I ran for a spot on the Michigan Junior Holstein Association’s board. This board is in charge of a lot of big activities for Michigan’s dairy youth, and running for one of ten coveted positions at such a young age meant the odds were against me, but to my surprise I was elected to be the District Five representative! Looking back, it is incredible to me that other MJHA members had enough faith in me at twelve to be one of the ten representatives. When I turned 15 I became the Secretary of the Michigan Junior Holstein Association (MJHA). This position required me to take minutes at each meeting and make sure they were distributed to all the members. I held that position for two years until I was elected to serve as the President at 17. My main goal from day one of my Presidency has been to make the Michigan Junior Holstein Association as strong as it could possibly be, and to be highly respected for the events we put on. As president, I lead meetings and oversee the planning and execution of many MJHA events. A few of these events include The Party Barn at the Michigan Dairy Expo, Dairy Fun Day and the Semen and Embryo sale which is our biggest fundraiser and annual trips to the National Holstein Convention. Our goal with these events is to educate youth about dairy cattle and opportunities in the dairy industry, as well as to provide a professional means for them Michigan-Indiana Holstein News
to network with others that have similar interests. Each year the Michigan Junior Holstein Association makes it a priority to sponsor a trip to the National Holstein Convention. I have attended multiple National Holstein Conventions including Maine in 2005, Wisconsin in 2008, Minnesota in 2010, Virginia in 2011, and Hayleigh spends as much time as she can with her favorite Holsteins, including Missouri in 2012.

We had past convention a dream of a day, winning the 4-H contest by in Indiana because of my commitment to my 44 points. Not only did we win the high team summer internship. I am so thankful for my overall, but we also earned a trip to Europe, National Holstein Convention experiences, and and took home the gold in the Oral Reasons I want other kids to have the opportunities I category as well. Individually, I was 9th, with have had. I have met many of my close friends all four of our team members being named in the industry through convention, and had the chance to compete at the national level in events All-Americans by placing in the top 25. It was an once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I will never like Dairy Bowl. Also, I have served as the forget the emotions I felt after Michigan was Michigan delegate multiple times at the annual announced as number one team. This contest junior meeting. Being a delegate for your state, was also very special to me because one of my and being able to have a say on what individual very best friends, Megan Bush, was on the team holds the next position on the national board, is with me. a pretty cool experience, and I hope more kids The summer of 2013 was all about dairy for from Michigan get that chance. me and extreme personal growth. It was the My dairy judging experiences are a huge summer between my first and second years component of my Holstein story. I started in the two-year Dairy Management program judging when I was nine years old, and now at Michigan State. Each one of the students today at 19 years old I am still competing. I met in this program is required to complete a full many successes as a junior 4-H’er competing summer internship on a dairy farm. My particular on the state level, but my dairy judging career situation was unique. My program advisor was didn’t really take off until I was old enough to also my judging coach, a person with whom I earn my spot on a state team and compete have built a pretty strong relationship. He knew on the national level. My first national contest I wanted to get out of the state of Michigan for was in 2010 at the All-American Dairy Show in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Once again, most kids my internship, so he sent me to Heinze Dairy would be pretty nervous for their first contest, but in Portage, Wisconsin. Honestly, the first three weeks of my internship were awful. I missed I just looked at it as another opportunity to prove home, my family, my friends, and my own cows. myself. It probably doesn’t hurt that I like to I was devastated that I had to miss the Michigan talk – a lot – so that has always helped me with State Holstein Show that I have attended every giving oral reasons! I ended up placing second year for the past 10 years. I never thought that overall in the 4-H contest, losing by one point I would be strong enough to finish three whole to the first place individual who I am still friends months away, and I wanted to quit. I wanted to with today. Although losing an entire contest by quit, but I didn’t. I pushed through every day, one point is heartbreaking, I chose to look at it and eventually things started to look up. My from a different perspective. I had almost won boss, Mark Heinze, is the judging coach for the my first national contest, and that one point loss Columbia County judging teams in Wisconsin. made me want to win even more. A year later I He knew of my judging history, and invited me to competed in my second national contest which be one of his assistant coaches along with Justin was held at the North American International Langer. Of course I jumped at the opportunity Livestock Exposition in Louisville, Kentucky, to help; it would be a good way to meet more where I finished 8th overall. The next year was kids and to use my skills to hopefully strengthen my opportunity to compete in the Superbowl, theirs. Needless to say, I absolutely fell in love my shot at the Stanley Cup, the World Series! I with the judging kids who ranged from age finally worked my way up to the Madison team! 9-17. They actually took the advice I gave and The World Dairy Expo contest held in Madison, applied to their way of doing things. I worked WI is the contest that everyone is out to win, 19
with these kids all summer. Two of the younger girls became the little sisters I never had and I absolutely loved them. The first contest for the judging crew was the district contest. Our junior team ended up on top and it was one of the best feelings I have experienced! Watching these kids grow and develop their skills and then being rewarded for it was just amazing. Placing first allowed them to continue on and compete at the Wisconsin state contest. They ended up second overall there and it was another great accomplishment. These judging kids became a big part of my life this summer, and I am still in contact with them to this day. I got a brief holiday from my summer internship to participate in the trip that my Madison 4-H team had earned the previous fall. On June 19, 2013 my Madison 4-H team, guided by our suspender-wearing coach Joe Domecq, boarded a nine hour flight to Scotland to be a part of the International Livestock Tour. Once we were in Scotland we were joined by several other teams who all earned the trip by placing well in their respective contests. While in Scotland we stopped at the Royal Highland Show and competed in the Young Farmers judging contest. Let me make it clear that we were only against the other Americans on the trip, and that the Scottish judgers give reasons a lot differently than what we are used to! Also, you judge in pairs in this contest so our team of four was divided into two. My partner was my best friend I mentioned earlier, Megan Bush. We ended up being the top pair overall and our other two teammates finished third. After we finished our Scotland adventures we headed over to London, England where we spent a few days touring the city. We toured many farms to learn their way of doing things. Our final destination was Ireland which was by far my favorite place leg of the trip. Everyone was so friendly and inviting, and seemed to love Americans! I met so many awesome people on this trip that I will stay friends with for a lifetime. Being in the same place with a bunch of other people who love what you love is an incredible feeling and makes you feel like you belong. This was truly a trip of a lifetime and I never would have guessed that judging dairy cows would have given me this opportunity to travel the world, but I am so thankful that it did! When I returned to the states I got to spend the Fourth of July with my family, and then it was right back to Wisconsin to pick up where I had left off with my internship. Being an assistant coach wasn’t the only extra-curricular activity I got to do in Wisconsin. I also helped select classes for each judging contest all over the state of Wisconsin. At the district judging contest I was asked to judge showmanship and listen to junior oral reasons. It was amazing to me that these Badgers welcomed a Spartan and encouraged me to participate in so many of their summer events. I also headed down to UW-Madison to help run the Badger Dairy Camp for five days. I was in charge of all the heifers that were being used in the camp. I also helped teach a judging course during the camp. I met a lot of really great UW students during this camp and can’t imagine my life without them. I even convinced my boss to let me take a show string to his county fair. It started with one cow, and 20
quickly grew by four heifers. The highlight of my have bombed that Guernsey class.” Thankfully show string was that I exhibited the Reserve I had my aunt Jess along on that trip to knock Grand Champion Cow of the day and won senior some sense into my head and make me realize showmanship. Not only did I get to have all of that I just won oral reasons at two national these different experiences, but I also got help contests in a row, and that I should be extremely welcome my boss and his wife’s first child into proud of that. I definitely was. Dairy judging has the world! My internship started out rough, and I not only afforded me the skills and opportunities honestly didn’t think I would make it through, but to network, but has strengthened my public I did.

Doug Long Named Master Breeder
T
o be named a Master Breeder is one of the highest honors a Registered Holstein breeder could achieve and this year’s winner is the epitome of this award. The 2014 Master Breeder of the Michigan Holstein Association is Doug Long of Long-Haven Farms, Inc. in Clayton, MI. From the time he could walk, Doug wanted to be around the barn, tractors and cows. His early farming antics at three years of age proved a bit too adventurous when the hired man came racing into the milk barn yelling that Doug had climbed into the bull pen. His dad, Carlos Long, grabbed a pitch fork and sprinted to the pen made of thick iron bars that could hold a big mature bull in, but apparently not keep a young boy out. The bull was tossing little Doug around like a soccer ball using his nose to push him around in the manure. Carlos climbed over the fence and used his pitch fork to get the bull away and retrieve the boy, who was quite a sight covered in manure from head to toe. Doug’s parents broke every speed limit racing their howling, filthy, smelly toddler to the emergency room for examination, but not a single bone was broken. A thorough cleaning up and a stern lecture about staying out of the bull pen followed, but it had been proven that day: “you can’t keep a true farm boy down.” From being tossed around in a bull pen to managing the renown Long-Haven herd, Doug has learned much and accomplished much. Here are just a few of Doug’s accomplishments as he developed the Long-Haven herd. • To date there are 109 cows with the Long-Haven prefix scored EX – of these, three have scored EX94, three have scored EX-93 and three have scored EX-92 and there are numerous multiple E cows; hundreds One of the many successful show outings for the Long more have family, pictured (left to right): Jennifer & Scott Long, Bev scored VG. & Doug Long, (in the front) Taegan and Grant. 22
MHA President Sherry Meyer presents Doug Long with the Michigan Holstein Association Master Breeder award.
• 40 cows with the Long-Haven prefix have earned Gold Medal Dam status, 62 have earned Dam of Merit status, and of these, 29 have earned BOTH Gold Medal Dam and Dam of Merit status. • Seven Long-Haven bulls have earned Gold Medal status. • One 16th generation EX, one 13th generation EX and 10 12th generation EX cows have been developed at Long-Haven. • Longs have bred a unanimous All-American and All-Canadian winner and numerous All-Michigan and Reserve All-Michigan winners, and showed champions at the Michigan Spring and Summer Shows, the Ohio Spring Show and at the North American International Livestock Exposition. Doug, in partnership with his father, Carlos, is a previous recipient of the MSU Dairy Farmer of the Year Award. Doug has been a member of the National Holstein Association and Michigan Holstein Association for more than 50 years, is a former Vice President and President of the Michigan Holstein Association, represented Michigan as a delegate at numerous national Holstein conventions over the years, and served on state and national sale committees. Today, Doug farms with his son, Scott and together they milk 68 cows – 60 of these 68 cows are homebred and all but one of the herd’s 82 heifers are homebred. The herd’s current rolling herd average is 32,044M 3.7%F 3.2%P and its BAA is 111.6 – 20 EX, 33 VG and 4 GP. Doug’s breeding philosophy is pretty straightforward – cows need to have solid type so they can produce large volumes of milk, breed back and last many lactations – and the herd’s tagline says it all, “Where the cows pay the bills.” Congratulations to the 2014 Michigan Holstein Association Master Breeder, Doug Long, Long-Haven Farms.

InMemoriam Aaron James Clark
February 6, 1992 - May 4, 2014 Aaron James Clark, age 22, of Sears, passed away unexpectedly, on Sunday, May 4, 2014. He was born on February 6, 1992 in Cadillac, to Alan and Darla (Hamel) Clark. Aaron graduated from Chippewa Hills High School in 2010. He obtained a certificate in diesel mechanics from Lincoln Technology Institute in Indianapolis. The last four months he has enjoyed working as a machine operator for Morgan Compost in Sears. Aaron attended the Sears Church of God, was actively involved in 4-H when he was younger and was known to be everybody’s buddy. Aaron enjoyed fishing, John Deere tractors, hunting especially with his uncle Tom Rodgers and was a real people person. He was an avid U of M fan, and liked the Detroit Tigers, Green Bay Packers and was proud of getting his first coyote pelt this year. His beloved family and many friends will forever cherish the many stories and memories they have of a particular, kind hearted and in his own words “ready-to-fix-it” man. He is survived by his parents Alan and Darla Clark of Sears; one brother Christopher Davis of Cadillac; one sister Baylee Clark of Sears; grandmothers, Lethel Hamel of Lake City and Joanie Clark of Evart and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family members and friends. Aaron was preceded in death by his grandparents Clyde (Coralie) Clark; grandpa Robert Hamel, paternal great-grandma Gertrude Bartholomew in 2014; and two aunts that he was close to, Kathy Garcia and Carol Leonard. Memorials in Aaron’s name can be made to the Sears Church of God.
