International Fellowship Tours AJCA A constituency from the Cochran Fellowship Program (CFP) of Indonesia visited the American Jersey Cattle Association headquarters on October 12, 2010. The CFP is an organization that provides U.S.-based agricultural training opportunities to senior and mid-level specialists and administrators from public and private sectors who are concerned with agricultural trade, agribusiness development, management, policy and marketing. The USDA sponsored this group of government officials, academia personnel, and farmers to demonstrate the value of imported genetics as a tool for improving livestock production in the country.
Two Jersey youth from Virginia were recently featured in a story on the Southwest Virginia Today website. Trey Huffard, Crockett, and Matthew Heldreth, Rural Retreat, were part of seven-person group talking to the publication about the shrinking farming population. The group, ranging in age from 18-30, is representing both a minority in the American population, and the farming community. With less than one percent of Americans claiming farming as their occupation, and the average age of the farmer constituting that one percent being 55, this group of young men is defying standards in more than one area. A thanks to the patrons who stopped by the USJersey booth while in Madison and entered to win the door prize. The winner was drawn and it was Jackie Scholten, Lake Mills, Wis. The prize was a ceramic cookie jar from Rosalinde Porcelains.

JERSEY JOURNAL
Moving Forward on Multiple Fronts We bring to your attention not just one, nor even two, but three timely topics, illustrating how the USJersey organizations are moving forward on multiple fronts. Campaign for Better Milk Moves Forward
The campaign for better milk sold to U.S. consumers gained momentum in late September from a Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute study requested by U.S. Representatives Joe Courtney (CT), Devin Nunes (CA), Tim Walz (MN) and Peter Welch (VT), co-chairs of the House Dairy Farmer Caucus. FAPRI analyzed the immediate and long-term impacts of fortifying 2%, 1% and fat-free milk at California standards. The price increase for consumers for a gallon of milk with more nutrients and better taste was estimated at about 17 cents—or about a penny per 8-ounce glass. The estimated impact on farm milk prices was a 27cent gain in the all-milk price for the first year, declining to about a dime over the 10-year projection period. Most importantly, the study estimated that an additional 350 million pounds of nonfat milk would be used to fortify fluid milk marketed in the U.S. In response to the FAPRI report, NAJ President David Endres said, “More than the obvious benefit for farmers is the public good that can come from higher nutrition standards for milk. And, more protein and other nutrients make milk taste better. Ultimately, higher minimum standards will encourage people to drink more milk.” The American Farm Bureau Federation, Western United Dairymen and northeast dairy cooperatives also added their support for raising minimum standards. “The FAPRI study shows this is an inexpensive way to get more calcium into kids and health experts say the proteins in milk help build lean muscle,” commented Bob Stallman, President of the American Farm Bureau Federation. “The American Farm Bureau Federation supports this policy that will help build stronger bones, offer another tool to help fight obesity and provide farmers with an additional market for their milk.” Apply Now for 2011 Jersey Youth Academy
The second Jersey Youth Academy will be held from Sunday, July 17 through Friday, July 22, in Columbus, Ohio. Applications are solicited from Jersey youth who will be enrolled in their junior or senior years of high school in the fall of 2011, and those who have at least one year remaining in their studies at a two-year program, vocational November 2010
school, college or university. Selection will be based on an evaluation of merit, motivation and preparation for the program as reflected in the youth’s background, experience and goal statement. Applicants must be available to participate in the entire program. All expenses, including round-trip transportation to Columbus plus meals and housing, are paid from the Academy’s endowment. Jersey Youth Academy is a 501(c) (3) private foundation dedicated to educating talented young people for careers in the Jersey dairy business. The application is now available on the Academy web site (http://academy.usjersey.com). Applications will be accepted until the close of business at the AJCA office on Monday, December 27. Notification of selection for the second Academy class will occur by January 15. As Orders for Genotyping Roll In, Prices Come Down
The goal set by the AJCA and NAJ Boards of Directors at their June meetings was to push the Jersey breed to the genomic forefront with thousands—not hundreds, but 1,000s—of cows and heifers tested. The response has been nothing short of spectacular. As reported during the October 13 edition of “This Week in Jersey Genomics,” 3,368 requests have been placed by 201 different customers since August 1. The initial wave of 3K test results has arrived; 961 cows and heifers received 3K genomic genetic evaluations on October 12. Another indicator of genomic testing momentum: All of the heifers slated to sell in the Pot O’Gold Sale on November 6 will have genomic evaluations. Pricing for genomic testing is following the nowfamiliar trajectory for new technology—flatscreen TVs, smartphones and computers included. The initial price for 3K testing ordered from the AJCA was $50 for REAP herds, and $55 for non-REAP herds. On October 1, the standard price dropped to $30 for REAP herds, and $40 for all others. We’ve also passed along two price breaks for 50K genotyping since July 1. Jersey 50K testing is now $150 for REAP herds, and $165 for all others. Genomics is the key to managing your genetic business and controlling your genetic assets. For a modest investment in Jersey 3K genotyping, you can get more— and more accurate—information to use in breeding a more consistently profitable herd. Get in now and evolve with it to increase your herd’s profits. Page 17

Virginia Breeders Create Market for Jersey Milk
S
outhwest Virginia is a mecca for vacationers throughout the calendar year. Whether they are traveling through the Blue Ridge Mountains or heading to NASCAR venues such as Bristol or Martinsville, these travelers make I-77 and I-81 two of the busiest routes in the Southeastern U.S. The intersection of these two routes makes for the perfect marketplace for something local, homegrown and nutritious. Nestled along I-81 just west of Wytheville, Va., are two Registered Jersey dairies that have joined forces to increase the value of their product and provide local, fresh, 100% Jersey milk products to please even the most discerning customer. James and John Huffard, Huffard Dairy Farm, Crockett, and Joey Blankenship and his uncle Dan Slemp, Sugar Grove, Va., joined forces in December 2009 and purchased a bottling plant to begin bottling their Jersey milk under the label of Duchess Dairy Products. They processed their first milk just 45 days later in January 2010 and have not looked back. “Having the background experience from my father working to build an AllJersey milk market in the late 1960s, I knew All-Jersey® milk would sell,” said James (Jim) Huffard III. “We knew we had
a unique product to market with the higher nutritional value and the national push for sustainable agriculture.” The foursome began processing just 800 gallons a week 10 short months ago, and today they are processing 2,000 gallons a week—the equivalent to one day’s production at Huffard Dairy. “We aren’t using all of the milk now that we produce,” said Blankenship in a local interview in Virginia. “Our dairies produce 20 times that much milk a week. The rest of the milk we sell to the cooperative.” History of the Dairies The southeast is a fluid milk region, one of four fluid Federal Orders left in the U.S. to not have a component market. It is also an area that has seen a significant decrease in the number of family farms over the past decade. Milking Jerseys especially can be challenging when milk is priced on a different basis than the rest of the country. However, dairying has been a way of life with the Huffard, Slemp and Blankenship families for nearly 60 years. Danny Slemp and Joey Blankenship have milked Holsteins nearly their entire lives. Eight years ago, Joey made the decision to switch his Holstein herd to Jerseys. It is a decision he has been most satisfied
James and John Huffard, left, and Joey Blankenship, far right, are the managment team of Duchess Dairy Products in Rural Retreat, Va. The group, along with Blankenship’s uncle Danny Slemp, purchased a bottling plant last winter to expand their operations vertically. With younger generations coming home to the farm like Trey Huffard, second from right, a freshman at Virginia Tech, the bottling plant will provide an avenue for them to more easily come back to the farm.

with. Among his first purchases was the remainder of the WF/L&M Jersey herd, a group of cows that has given him the opportunity to build maternal lines and even begin to put bulls into A.I. programs. His uncle Danny, a graduate of Virginia Tech, has also been switching his Holstein herd to Jerseys. Though still milking nearly 20 Holsteins, he foresees them being gone by the end of 2010. Both herds are on REAP and Blankenship’s Sugar Grove Jersey herd had a 2009 AJCA lactation average of 18,750 lbs. milk, 885 lbs. fat and 669 lbs. protein on 41 lactations. The herd also ranks among the Top 25% of the breed for Jersey Performance Index (JPI). The Huffard family has been involved with Registered Jerseys since 1929. They have experimented throughout the years with other breeds, but always came back to one simple fact. “The Jerseys just made us more money,” said Jim who is currently the Vice President of National All-Jersey Inc. (NAJ) and past president of the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA). The herd is nationally known for a reliable source of production-pure genetics. The Schultz prefix has been synonymous with bulls on the Active A.I. list, including the current #4 Active Sire in the breed (8/10), Schultz Rescue Headline, GJPI +165. The 2009 AJCA lactation average for the 373-cow herd was 21,234 lbs. milk, 955 lbs. fat and 733 lbs. protein. Even the name of the plant has a history behind it. Duchess was the pet name that Jim and John’s father called their mother, June. So when NAJ developed and registered the Queen of Quality mark, the name Duchess just fell into place. Developing a Plan After expanding the herd and maxing out current facilities, Huffard began to think of ways to allow for vertical expansion and integration with the herds. Both Huffard and Slemp knew they had sons that could soon be coming back home to the family farms and they were looking for a way to incorporate them into the future. The bottling plant seemed like a logical choice. Over the course of a year, Huffard researched the possibilities of buying an JERSEY JOURNAL
established plant nearby in Rural Retreat. He talked with the owner and the plants existing customers. Seeing the opportunity to add value to their milk and expand their business, Huffard approached Slemp and Blankenship with the idea and the plant was purchased. The next step was hiring Jordan Hall as plant manager. Hall spent a month and a half working with the previous owners and learning the plant operations. “We knew a lot of the ups and downs going into it because of the research we did,” explained Huffard. “Being involved with the Jersey association and sitting on the NAJ board, we had some knowledge before we started, but we are learning daily just from the hands-on experience.” By buying an established plant in good condition, little modifications were needed. Throughout the course of the 45 days between closing on the plant purchase and the start of processing, it was a flurry of activity as inspections were done, certifications were completed, permits obtained, and bottles and labels designed and approved. Now, 10 months into the operation, the plant employs two full-time employees, Hall and Tyler Hodge. The rest of the work force consists of family members of the partners. “We have a lot of free labor now,” said Blankenship. “It definitely is helping our bottom line in our first year of business.” The group bottles milk twice a week— Monday and Thursday—and delivers to retailers five days a week. They produce white, chocolate and strawberry milk in pint plastic bottles and white and chocolate milk in half and gallon jugs. In August, they bottled their first pasteurized cream to be sold. They have also found stores are not afraid to mark up their milk more than the competing brands in the case because of the high-quality product they provide. “Our milk is probably worth more than we are getting for it right now,” says Huffard. “But we have to price it so that it can compete with what is already in the stores to make sure we can move it.” Establishing the Market Duchess bottled milk can be found across southern Virginia in local convenience and grocery stores. They have recently made their way into major grocery store chains such as Food Lion, Food Country and one Food City store. “We went to the big chains early trying to get into them,” said Huffard. “The legwork November 2010
“Consumers in the area are willing to pay a higher price” for the Queen of Quality® milk from Duchess Dairy Products. The business partnership of Jim and John Huffard, Danny Slemp, and Joey Blankenship bottles pints of chocolate, white and strawberry milk; gallons and half gallon of white and chocolate milk, and most recently, cream at their Rural Retreat facility.
paid off as we have made it to their shelves and consumers are buying the product.” They have made their customers happy as their base has grown considerably since January. They began with 30 customers and now Duchess milk is in more than 80 stores within a 60-mile radius of the plant. “Buying local is big. Being fresh is big. And Jersey milk tastes better,” explains Huffard. “Once the consumer tries it, they like it. Their kids like it, and as long as the difference in price isn’t too wide, they will pay more and buy it.” Consumers can read on the Duchess label that the milk has 18% more calcium and 15% more protein than other leading brands, providing a fresh, local and more nutritious product. “If it wasn’t for Jersey milk, all we would have is fresh and local,” said Huffard. National All-Jersey’s Role “Our feeling is NAJ took a step in the right direction by gearing the Queen of Quality program back up,” praises Huffard. “By developing the new label, it is a very attractive piece and makes a nice marketing tool for us.” Huffard continues on to say that as an NAJ member, Jersey breeders have a resource available to them unlike anything other breeds offer. “The staff of NAJ and the AJCA provide the help someone needs when it comes to asking advice or helping to market their product and a person knows they are on
your side to help,” concluded Huffard. Advice to Others It has been a year of growing pains and while there have been trials, the rewards have far outweighed the negatives. Blankenship and Huffard offer the following tips to anyone looking to begin their own business. • Decide where you are going to spend your time the next 12 months. The startup will consume much of your time over the course of the first year as you work out the bugs and learn the ropes. • Establish an accurate budget. Be honest with yourself and your figures. Figure out your operating cost and your investment cost. This will be the document that makes or breaks your business. • Do a lot of homework. Talk with other producers, meet and greet your potential customers that you will be selling to. Do not be afraid to ask questions. The entire process is ongoing and definitely will not happen overnight. While the partners are looking to the future, their goals right now are quite simple: stabilize and have a smooth flowing operation with minimal speed bumps. As they look to the future, they foresee adding new products such as yogurt and butter to their line-up. And they are always going to remember, it pays to be local and fresh in today’s world—but above all, Jersey. Page 19

2010 World Dairy Expo Jersey Highlights
Staying tr ue to the 2010 theme “Crowning Achievements—Golden Opportunities,” the Jersey breed made a strong appearance at the World Dairy Expo in Madison, Wisconsin, Sept. 26Oct. 2. The weather was not the only “opportunity” during the 44th annual Expo. Two sales, a 300 plus head regional show and a farm featured on the virtual tour kept the Jersey breed well-represented. Taking place in the Alliant Energy Center, more than 65,000 people attended the annual event that featured 2,700 head of cattle across all breeds.
Central National Regional Show Kelly Barbee, Concord, N.C., along with Jersey associate Dennis Patrick, Woodbine, Md., had the task of placing 376 Registered Jerseys from the U.S. and Canada on September 29-30 during the Central National Jersey Show. The complete show report begins on page 20. The Grand Champion, Frederick 2783 Adventure, was exhibited by S. Lackey, H. Rader, and C. and E. Walton, Carlisle, Pa. She was the Reserve National Grand Champion in 2009. Reserve Champion of the show was Lloyln Jude Griffen-ET, exhibited by Budjon Farms and Peter Vail, Lomira, Wis.
Jersey is Junior Supreme Champion for Second Year For a second consecutive year, Ben Sauder, Tremont, Ill., has exhibited the Supreme Junior Champion of the World Dairy Expo. His senior three-year-old, Claessic Vindicat Genie, Excellent-91%, was named Grand Champion of the Central National Junior Show before earning the Supreme Champion Junior laurels. Sauder purchased the cow in March from Mike Heath and Triple T Holsteins, Cable, Ohio, at the Spring Valley 8th Edition Sale. The winning duo was awarded a $1,000 check from BouMatic, a director’s chair
from Royal Brand Embroidery, and a royal velvet blanket from Excalibur Sires.
2010 Klussendorf Trophy Mike Stiles, Waverly Farm, Clear Brook, Va., was named the 69th winner of the Klussendorf Trophy, the highest recognition given to a dairy cattle showman in the United States. Mike received the silver trophy designed by Tiffany Co., New York, N.Y., after being selected earlier that week by members of the Klussendorf Memorial Association. He and his brother, Paul, made history by becoming the first siblings to both receive the Klussendorf Trophy. Paul received the honor in 2006. Mike owns and operates his herd of 400 Jerseys at Waverly Farm along with his brother. They have produced more than 500 Excellent Jerseys, and in a December 2009 appraisal had 102 Excellent and 99 Very Good animals Mike Stiles on site. Mike has also sent more than 100 bulls from Waverly Farm into A.I., both nationally and internationally. This Master Breeder has long been recognized by his peers in the industry, garnering coveted awards from the American Jersey Cattle Association and National Dairy Shrine, including the Max Gordon award in Louisville. Mike has exhibited numerous Grand Champions at World Dairy Expo and The All American Jersey Show in Louisville, Ky., where Waverly Farm has been named Premier Breeder 17 times, and Premier Exhibitor 14 times, and exhibited the National Grand Champion cow six times and Reserve National Grand Champion eight times. Mike joins a list of distinguished Jersey breeders as past recipients of the Klussendorf Trophy. The list includes Carl Bourne, Paul Sparrow, Lewis Porter, George Barlass, Max Gordon, Lowell Willis, Norman Nabholz, Alta Mae Core, Bill Taylor, Stephen White, Brian Sayles, Paul Stiles, Barry Quickfall and Mark Rueth.
Klussendorf-MacKenzie Award

November 2010
Jersey enthusiast Nicky Reape , Oxford, Wis., was the 2010 recipient of the Klussendorf-MacKenzie Award, given in honor of Duncan McKenzie. Nominators noted a strong ethic, total dedication to cattle care, and a high level of accomplishments as attributes supporting
the young Jersey breeder. Growing up a Holstein and Guernsey farm in New York, Jerseys were an addition made by Nicky during her youth. While attending SUNY Morrisville College, Nicky began fitting and eventually traveling throughout the country with some top show herds. After meeting Mark Rueth, Oxford, Wis., Reape Nicky’s one woman show was turned into a partnership. She and Mark rented a barn near Deerfield, Wis., and began assembling a show herd. The duo now operates a completely remodeled farm they purchased in 2005 where Nicky provides specialized calf care.
Showmanship Results More than 250 youth from 25 states and one Canadian province competed in the 2010 World Dairy Expo Youth Showmanship Contest. Jersey youth placing in the top 10 of the Junior division (64 participants) were Kyle Barton, Ancramdale, N.Y., first and Connor Erbsen, Lanark, Ill., second. In the Intermediate division (80 participants), placing among the top 10 were Katlyn Rene Vencill, Nicholasville, Ky.; Austin Nauman, Sparta, Wis.; Taylor Leach, Linwood, Kan., and Taylor Mohr, Glencoe, Minn. Earning honors in the Senior division among 109 participants was Cassy Krull, Lake Mills, Wis., who placed third.
Merle Howard Award Recipient This year, a Jersey youth was awarded the 2010 Merle Howard Award. Stephanie Aves, Poplar Grove, Ill., is the seventh recipient of the award given to the top junior exhibitor a t Wo r l d D a i r y Expo. Also working with her Holstein h e r d, S t e p h a n i e demonstrated Aves exemplary skills in fitting, showmanship, and overall passion for the dairy industry—the requirements of the award. Stephanie is a senior at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville where she is a member of the university’s judging team. In addition to her skills in the ring, she has also been working on her marketing skills, selling embryos around the world. All photographs provided by Agri-Graphics.

The American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) was organized as the American Jersey Cattle Club in 1868. Today, this growing organization has 2,250 active members and provides services to 3,000 Jersey producers each year. Membership in the AJCA offers a package of benefits to Jersey enthusiasts. It gives them opportunity to share ideas with others in the same business and work together to improve the breed. Membership also entitles Jersey breeders to discounts of $3 or more on every animal registered with the AJCA. In this month’s Jersey Jargon, we’ll take a closer look at membership in the AJCA and explain how you can become a member of the oldest dairy breed association in the country. Three AJCA Memberships Available Membership and associate memberships are available to all Jersey enthusiasts for $100 each, with no annual fee. Regular membership is available to any person who owns a Registered Jersey. Members are entitled to vote in all AJCA presidential and directorial elections and on any matters that come before the AJCA Annual Meeting. Associate membership is available to those who have deeply-held religious beliefs that prohibit membership in organizations like the AJCA or those who do not own a Registered Jersey. Associate members are not entitled to vote or hold office in the AJCA. The AJCA also offers a free junior membership to young people under the age of 21 who own at least one Registered Jersey. Memberships cannot be transferred to another person. Reduced Registration Fees All members—regular members, associate members and junior members— are entitled to discounts on registrations that range from $3-5 per registration for mailed and online applications.

on their application for membership. There is a nominal charge for prefixes for nonmembers.

Active members, those who register or transfer into their ownership at least one animal during a period of two years, are eligible to vote at the AJCA Annual Meeting either in person or by proxy. Junior Members The AJCA offers a wide array of programs for young people and junior membership is the basis for participation. Junior membership or lifetime membership is required for youth to compete for AJCA youth scholarships, which totaled $13,500 in 2010, the National Jersey Youth Achievement Contest and the National Jersey Youth Production Contest. Membership is strongly encouraged to participate in Jersey Youth Academy. Youth must also be junior or lifetime members to participate in The All American Junior Jersey Show in Louisville, Ky., each fall. In addition to being under the age of 21, youth must be listed as the recorded owner of at least one Registered Jersey either as the single recorded owner or by name as one of the recorded owners in a partnership.

JERSEY JOURNAL
Proposals Sought for Jersey Research The AJCC Research Foundation has issued a request for research proposals to be funded in 2011 addressing significant issues for the Jersey breed and Jersey milk producers. Current priorities for research funding are: • Nutrition of high-producing Jerseys, particularly practical feeding methods to maximize production of valuable milk components; • Factors affecting management of Jersey calves; • Factors affecting yield and (or) quality of products manufactured from Jersey milk; • Factors affecting economic impact of Jerseys: efficiencies, net income, longevity, and lifetime profit; • Optimizing the genetic basis for improving animal health and (or) enhancing product quality; • Enhancing environmental impact associated with Jerseys; • New technologies for safe and sustainable food production from Jersey cattle; and • Feasibility of adding value and increasing consumer acceptance of Jersey-derived products through enhanced product quality and branding. Application deadline is December 1, 2010. The Research Advisory Committee of the American Jersey Cattle Association will evaluate the proposals, then forward its recommendations to the AJCA Board of Directors, which will award funds at its meeting in March 2011. Submissions are evaluated for (a) merit (e.g., potential to advance practical knowledge, creative approach to the problem); (b) competence (i.e., high probability of successful completion within the proposed time frame); and (c) relevance (e.g., problem derived from one of the areas of research priority). Seed monies awarded to selected projects averages $5,500. Since 1988, more than $850,000 has been provided in support of Jersey-specific research by the Foundation. Detailed information about the Competitive Grants Program can be found on the web site (http:// jerseyresearch.usjersey.com/RFNews_ RFP.htm) or re-quested from Cari W. Wolfe, Director of Research and Genetic Programs Development, at 614/322-4453 or by email at cwolfe@usjersey.com. November 2010
