3K Campaign Runs Through September Simple, low-cost and powerful genomic testing for Jersey cattle is here with the highly anticipated release in August of the Jersey 3K genomic test chip by Illumina. The 3K chip uses breakthrough technology to analyze 2,900 breed-specific SNPs for key traits to build a genotype validated on the industry standard Bovine SNP50 chip. At the same time, homozygosity at the gene level is measured so that you have the most precise information about the inbreeding levels of your tested cows and heifers. The Jersey 3K test is $50 per cow or heifer in REAP herds, and $55 per animal for non-REAP herds. That puts 3K genomic testing within the price range of every Jersey breeder. Just think how much you’ll be able to do with that much genomic information at your fingertips: • You’ll be able to make better matings for faster and greater improvement in production and high priority traits, plus push genetic diversity in the right direction at the same time. • You’ll be able to make better use of the dollars you invest in sexed semen. • You’ll have more information to sort ET siblings and replacement heifers, plus identify heifers that have unique promise for a flush program. The bottom line: For a modest investment in Jersey 3K genotyping, you can accelerate genetic progress and breed a more uniform and more consistently profitable herd.

SEPTEMBER 2010

The Jersey 3K Testing Campaign The Jersey 3K Testing Campaign, supported by the Board of Directors of both organizations, has one simple goal. That is to push the Jersey breed to the genomic forefront with thousands—not hundreds, but 1,000s—of cows and heifers genomically tested for the December genetic evaluations. Through September 30, REAP herds will receive a $25 instant rebate for up to three (3) genomic tests (3K or 50K), or 5% of the REAP cow count, whichever is greater. This applies only for orders placed through the AJCA and when hair samples are received at the testing laboratory by Friday, October 8. To order, log on to infoJersey.com and use the Genomic Testing Express Order System. Or, create a list of registration numbers and email them to genomictest@usjersey. com or fax them to 614/861-8040. Or, to speak to an AJCA staff member, call the service and order hotline at 614/322-4482. Please note that your AJCA account must be current to place an order. Tests will be billed after the sample has been processed by the laboratory. Answers to the most Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) are available on the USJersey website at www.usjersey.com/ programs/genomictest.htm. Genomics is the key to managing your genetic business and controlling your genetic assets. Start testing today to give a genetic profile to every cow and heifer in your herd and increase your herd’s profits.

Family Traditions — Lauren Brittany Core

s a fourth generation Jersey breeder the enthusiasm for the Jersey breed is not too hard to find. I, Lauren Brittany Core, the 2010 National Jersey Youth Achievement Contest winner ,have become a part of a large family tradition of breeding and promoting the Jersey breed. The development of Keightley and Core Jerseys is how my love for the breed came to be. The family tradition goes back over 60 years ago, and I am lucky enough to have strong Jersey influences on both sides of my family. On the Keightley side of my family, my grandparents bought their first Jersey in 1955. With this first purchase my grandparents began to breed high quality show cattle and exhibit them around the country. A.J. and Adelene Keightley became strong promoters of the Jersey breed and instilled the passion for the Jersey into my mother, Alta Mae Keightley Core. After the early passing of my grandfather, A.J, my mother and grandmother made a pact to work together and continue breeding and showing the Jersey cow. The two began beating all the odds and proving that strong passionate women could do anything they set their minds too. On the Core side, breeding Jerseys goes all the way back to my great-grandfather Blaine Core and his son Lyle. My grandfather was given a Jersey calf by his neighbor in 1935 and added it to my great-grandfather’s herd. After that there was no looking back as the advantages of Jerseys were clear, making the herd all Jerseys by 1950. My great uncle Maurice Core also received the passion for Jerseys from his father and brother and became one of the strongest promoters of the Jersey breed of all time. These men impacted my father’s life, Jeff Core, leading him to follow his passion to Kentucky to work for some of the well-known Jersey herds. In 1978, my parents Jeff and Alta Mae Core, met at the All American Jersey Show. They shared the same enthusiasm for the Jersey breed and were married and began the partnership of Keightley & Core Jerseys. Their goal was simply to breed a quality Jersey that was not only of show quality but also lead a long productive life. They began leaving their mark on the industry as well as continuing the family tradition by encouraging their children to discover what is now my obsession, the Jersey cow. Thousands of memories have been made thanks to my family tradition, like showing my very first 4-H calf, KCJF Renaissances Gorgeous. Even though I had been leading calves since I was old enough to walk, there was nothing like walking on to those colored shavings in the Jersey junior calf class at the Kentucky State Fair and All American Jersey Show. It was then I knew that I was addicted and knew that someday I would carry on the family tradition. Gorgeous was the beginning of my Jersey herd which has now grown into consisting of 38 cows and 25 heifers with 24 of them being Excellent and 11 Very Good.

It seems my career as a Jersey junior has culminated over the last couple of years, with many outstanding accomplishments in the show ring as well as with Jersey youth programs. My wildest dreams have come true in the show ring by winning best bred and owned at The All American Jersey Junior Show in 2008 and 2009 with KCJF Responses Royal and KCJF Centurions Ritz. As well as having a National Jersey Jug Futurity Winner with KCJF Sambo Molly and Reserve National Champion with KCJF Regency Treasure both in 2008. All accomplishments that myself and my family are extremely proud of and grateful for. Other than being involved in the show ring I have participated in many Jersey youth programs that have educated me about the dairy industry and have shaped me into who I am. I have participated in programs such as the inaugural class of the Jersey Youth Academy, National Jersey Queen Contest placing first Alternate in 2009, the National Jersey Youth Production Contest placing eighth this year with KCJF Centurions Cadillac, receiving the Jack C. Nisbet Memorial Scholarship and finally placing first this year in the National Jersey Youth Achievement Contest. Currently I am pursuing my bachelor’s degree at the University of Kentucky in agricultural education and should graduate in the spring of 2011. My ultimate goal is to become a high school agriculture teacher so that I can help instill in today’s youth the same passion for agriculture that my family tradition has instilled into me. After receiving my degree I look forward to either teaching students the importance of agriculture or promoting the Jersey breed and the dairy industry in some shape or form, whether it be working for a breed association, writing for an agricultural news source, or working in public relations for a dairy related company. Aside from my career goals, I hope to continue on my family tradition of breeding and prompting the Jersey breed and hopefully one day win my grandmother’s trophy of breeding the grand champion female of The All American Jersey Show. Beginnings are scary, endings are usually sad but it’s the middle that counts. As I look back on my career as a Jersey Youth I can remember being scared to death showing for the very first time at the Kentucky State Fair and as I wrap up my career as a Jersey Youth I feel a sense of sadness as something so good has to come to an end. However, I feel a sense of pride in the many accomplishments I have made and the person I have developed into. But it’s the feeling of excitement and anticipation about this scary new beginning I am about to face that keeps me moving forward as I cannot wait to make the middle count once again, leaving my own mark on this industry just as my family has done. Someday as another ending comes my way I know I may feel this same sense of sadness but hope to look upon on it with a smile as I see the family tradition still carrying on. JERSEY JOURNAL

JERSEY YOUTH PROGRAMS

2009 National Jersey Youth Achievement Awards

nderstanding the value of the Jersey cow both in the barn, and in the show ring has propelled Lauren Brittany Core into the top spot of the National Youth Achievement Contest after a 10th place debut last year. The contest recognizes Jersey youth from across the country for their leadership activities and participation in Jersey functions, as well as their success in breeding and managing their own Jersey cattle. This past March, 17 applications from determined and dedicated youth from across the country arrived in the office of the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA). Ranking second through 10th, respectively, are: Kelli Ann Carstensen, Petaluma, Calif.; Logan Horst, Mercersburg, Pa.; Kyle Matthew Schirm, West Salem, Ohio; Amber Ettinger, Kinards, S.C.; Cassandra Chittenden, Schodack Landing, N.Y.; Stacey A. Theobald, Waymart, Pa.; Avery Lutz, Mocksville, N.C.; Julie Ozburn, Nolensville, Tenn., and Daniel Fugate, Whitesburg, Tenn. The Jersey youth programs have been a core part of Jersey youth development since 1958. Nominations for the National Jersey Youth Achievement Contest are made by state Jersey organizations, which can nominate up to two individuals each year. The competition is open to members of the AJCA who are between the ages of 16 and 20 on January 1, 2009, or placed among the top 10 in the previous year’s contest. The AJCA provides cash awards totaling $3,000 to the top 10 individuals. Awards will be presented at the Junior Banquet on November 6, 2010, during All American festivities in Louisville, Ky. Lauren Brittany Core Polished trophies and purple banners may be a staple in the home of Lauren Brittany Core, but it’s the little brown cows in the barn she is most proud of. Her accomplishments with those cows earned her a spot at the top of the 2009 National Jersey Youth Achievement Contest. Lauren Brittany Core, known as Brittany to all, is the daughter of Jeff and Alta Mae Core, Salvisa, Ky. She will be a senior at the University of Kentucky where she is studying Agricultural Education. She aspires to share her passion for agriculture september 2010

with younger students by one day becoming an agriculture teacher in a high school. Core is not a newcomer to the national achievement list, having broken into the top 10 in 2008. She and mother, Alta Mae, make history this year as the first mother-daughter team to win the contest. Alta Mae achieved her win in 1977. Brittany has also made a name for herself in the show ring, taking Core home numerous first place animals throughout her career at the Kentucky State Fair Show and The All American Jersey Show. In 2006, Core swept all of the classes she exhibited in at the Kentucky State Fair Junior show, taking home four first place ribbons. Building on that success in 2007, she took home six first place wins and the Grand Champion banner followed by a reserve intermediate champion win at The All American Jersey Show. The banners kept rolling in during the 2008 show season when Core exhibited the Reserve National Champion of The All American Jersey Show, the Best Bred and Owned of the All American Junior Jersey Show, the National Jersey Jug Futurity winner and the Reserve Grand Champion of the Kentucky State Fair Junior Show. Capping off a successful show season in 2009, Core took home four first place wins and a second place to go with the Junior Champion and Reserve Grand Champion of the Kentucky State Fair Junior Show. On the national level that year, she exhibited the best bred and owned female of The All American Junior Jersey Show. Core also won the Nasco Type and Production Award at The All American Open Show in 2008, and has placed in the Premier Performance cow class in 2005, 2007, and 2008. In addition to breeding and exhibiting top animals for the shows, Core has also excelled as a showman. From 2005 to 2008, she was named the Jersey showmanship winner at her district dairy show. But it was a banner year in 2009, when she found herself winner of the Mercer Coun-

ty (KY) Showmanship competition, Kentucky State Fair Senior Jersey Showmanship contest and the Overall Showmanship winner of the Kentucky State Fair Showmanship contest, where she received the Commissioner’s Trophy. Despite the immense success Brittany has had in the ring, she still has a few major Jersey goals to strive for. One of those goals is to take home the award given in honor of her grandmother, Adelene Keightley at The All American Jersey Show. The award is given for breeding the Grand Champion female at The All American Jersey Show. This coveted award would help Brittany to further continue her family’s legacy. Core places a strong emphasis on genetics, stressing the importance of the Jersey advantage in productive life and feed conversion ratio. “Of course another important part of this is to continue to increase milk production and develop cows that last longer in a commercial setting,” said Core of her goals for advancing Jersey genetics. These ambitions will also help Core achieve her other Jersey goal; seeing her name on the list of the Top 25 milk production records. “I think it is important to not only breed show cows, but to breed show cows that prove their weight in the bulk tank as well,” said Core of her top 25 aspirations. Helping realize her goals is her herd of 38 cows and 25 heifers, all Registered Jerseys. Of the 35 animals, 24 are scored Excellent with the rest all appraised Very Good. In 2009, the DHIR actual production average for her herd was 17,317 lbs. milk, 645 lbs. fat and 623 lbs. protein on 35 records. “We must all continue to advance our genetic goals to include increasing the Jerseys already large advantage in productive life and feed conversion ratios over other breeds,” said Brittany of the important genetics goals Jersey breeders must strive for. “This will allow us to produce the same output with fewer inputs.” The role she had played on her family farm, Keightley & Core Jerseys, has also helped Core advance her knowledge of the Jersey breed and dairy industry. She is mainly tasked with the record keeping of the farm. She handles the registrations, show entries, DHIA records, and the many (continued to page 21)

JERSEY JOURNAL

Youth Achievement Contest (continued from page 19)

other tasks that are involved in their dayto-day operation. She also takes care of the newborn calves until they are weaned, and then cares for and travels with a small show string during the summer months. Core has also found success outside of the show ring, being heavily involved with community and youth activities. She was the Kentucky Jersey Queen from 2006 to 2008, and has been active in the National Jersey Queen Contest in which she was named first alternate in 2009. She served as president of the Kentucky Junior Jersey Cattle Club from 2007 to 2009 and is a lifetime member of the AJCA. FFA has also played a large role in the development of her passion for agriculture, having been involved in the Mercer County and Bluegrass Region FFA programs, in addition to the state and national FFA programs. In 2007 she was the Kentucky state runner-up as the Bluegrass Region FFA Star Farmer. While at the University of Kentucky, Core has also dedicated time to the university dairy club and agricultural education society. She participated in the inaugural Jersey Youth Academy and was recently awarded the Jack C. Nisbet scholarship through the AJCA. In addition she has received numerous other scholarships for her dedicated dairy work. At home, during her time away from the barn, Brittany is active with her church youth group and was active in student council while in high school. With a staggering list of accomplishments and a passion for the Jersey cow, her ultimate goal is to continue to make an impact in the dairy industry. “It is my goal to continue my parent’s life work of breeding, milking and showing a high-quality, profitable dairy cow,” said Core. Kelli Ann Carstensen For Kelli Ann Carstensen, owning a Jersey cow happened by chance; but owning a Jersey herd happened exactly as she planned, developing her herd from one animal she received as a gift. This 18-yearold from PetaluCarstensen ma, Calif., making her first appearance among the top 10, is the first person in her immediate family to own any type of dairy cow, and she believes she picked the best breed.

Given to her by a family friend from Oregon, Sweet Laddie is now 10-yearsold and scored Very Good-83%. Not only was she the first Jersey cow for Kelli, she was the foundation animal for her herd now boasting 15 heifers, 16 cows and two bulls. A heifer born recently became the fifth generation of “Sweetie’s” family to reside in the herd. In addition to “Sweetie,” Kelli was also given her two younger sisters, Frosty Tilli, Very Good-88%, and Kellis Lilly of the Valley, Very Good-87%. “Tilli” and “Lilly” have excelled in the herd as well, producing four and three offspring,

respectively. Carstensen’s home-grown herd has also flourished in the show ring, winning numerous best bred by exhibitor awards and many production awards. Through a steady breeding plan in addition to the gifts of “Sweetie,” “Tilli,” and “Lilly,” Kelli has never had to purchase an animal. Her accumulation of Jersey cows has been on her own account and is completely self-financed. With the exception of the feed costs for the milk string, paid in exchange for fluid milk, she covers breeding, feed, veterinary and all other expenses. She also manages her own rations (continued to page 22)

september 2010 Page 21

Youth Achievement Contest (continued from page 21)

and makes all A.I. breeding decisions The 2009, the DHIA average actual production for the herd was 17,250 lbs. milk, 645 lbs. fat and 560 lbs. protein on 10 records. Kelli has also found a niche market to send her product to as she raises family milk cows to sell to people looking for a more sustainable way of life. Through this project, she has been able to help finance her education at Cal Poly. With the recent purchase and implanting of two embryos, Kelli hopes for heifers to flush so she can sell the embryos and continue supporting her project. Although she aspires to develop a career as a lawyer, she still hopes to one day establish her own Registered Jersey dairy. Kelli is the daughter of Neal and Sally Carstensen and just finished her freshman year at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. She is currently studying Dairy Science with minor in Agricultural Business. After obtaining her bachelor’s degree, Kelli hopes to attend law school, maintaining her focus on the agricultural sector. “With my love for the Jersey breed, there is no way I would ever get rid of them,” said Kelli. She is a strong believer in the benefit and efficiency of Jersey cows in comparison to all other breeds, and encourages Jersey owners of all kind to promote the breed, especially during times of such strong growth. Kelli has not only developed a strong herd of Jersey cows, she has increased her

understanding of the dairy industry. She has been a 4-H and FFA club officer and consistent winner in local judging contests and showmanship competitions, placing ninth in the National FFA judging contest and winning the Fresno State FFA Dairy Cattle Field Day judging contest. She has also been an active junior member of the California Junior Jersey Cattle Association and American Jersey Cattle Association in addition to school and community organizations, even though she completed high school in just three years. Eleven years ago it was a simple gift, today it is a passion, livelihood and dream as this young Jersey breeder continues to grow in the dairy industry. Logan Horst Making his third appearance among the Top 10 is Logan Horst, Mi-Rose Jerseys, Mercersburg, Pa. A senior at Penn State University, Logan is studying Agribusiness Management with hopes of a career with the financial side of the dairy industry to help farmers decipher Horst the ever-changing economy. Logan is the son of Kevin and Linda Horst and was the 2009 recipient of the V. L. Peterson Scholarship from the AJCA. He currently has a herd of 12 heifers and 15 cows, with six appraised Excellent

and nine with scores of Very Good. The 2009 DHIR average actual production was 17,128 lbs. milk, 797 lbs. fat and 604 lbs. protein on 12 records. Currently, Logan is active with the Penn State Dairy Science Club, where he has served as show manager and assistant show manager; Penn State University Grange, taking on the responsibilities of webmaster; Penn State Farm Bureau and the Penn State Dairy Judging team. In addition to being an excellent showman, Logan has developed a knack for identifying top cattle. In 2006, he brought home first-place individual wins at the National FFA Dairy Judging contest, Pennsylvania State FFA Judging, Pennsylvania Spring FFA Judging and the Pennsylvania Farm Show FFA Judging. He continued to participate and consistently place in the top 10 in 4-H judging contests throughout 2007, and began participating in collegiate judging contests in 2008. In the National Intercollegiate Dairy Judging Contest in 2009, he was high individual for three separate breeds, fourth high individual overall and third high individual in reasons. Also in 2008, Logan was named the Grand Champion of the Franklin County 4-H Showing and Fitting Contest, an activity he had placed fourth in the year before. Logan also experienced judging contests from another perspective in 2009 when he served as a teaching assistant to the Introduction to Dairy Judging class at Penn State. Later that year, he coached the Pennsylvania State 4-H judging team to a seventh place finish at the NAILE judging contest. Being able to identify top animals is a skill acquired from many years of listening to other judges do the same, often the reasons his animal was placed at the top of the class, division of show. Logan has taken home the title of Junior Champion from several shows since 2004 including, The All American Jersey Junior Show, the Pennsylvania State Junior Show, District II (PA) Jersey Show and the Franklin County (PA) Fair. He also exhibited the District II Jersey Show the Reserve Junior Champion in 2007, 2008 and 2009. The Horst family is actually a family of recovering Holstein breeders. Although Logan still tends to a small group of Holsteins and red and whites, he envisions greater opportunities for the Jersey breed. “I have been able to consign more animals at higher powered sales and be more successful in the show ring,” said Logan of the switch to Jerseys. He also notes the significance of the Genetic Recovery Program, and the impacts the program has had on the breed. (continued to page 24)

Youth Achievement Contest (continued from page 22)

Thanks to this program and the ease and economical pricing of the Jersey appraisal system, Logan has found that more of his animals can be scored more often, raising the value of his herd and ultimately the breed. A fact this agribusiness major does not want to be overlooked. Moving forward, Horst says, “global recognition as the superior breed of dairy cows is the most important goal for Jersey breeders and organizations,” and those in the industry should take every opportunity to boast the value of the Jersey cow. Kyle Matthew Schirm Moving up two spaces to a fourthplace finish in the National Jersey Youth Achievement contest is Kyle Matthew Schirm, West Salem, Ohio. The 20-yearold son of Paul and Dawn Schirm, Schirm Jersey Farm, just completed his freshman year at Schirm Ashland University where he is studying finance. Having consistently grown his herd throughout the years, Kyle now has 19 heifers and 29 cows, with five scored Excellent and 22 Very Good. The DHIR average actual milk production in 2009 was 17,918 lbs. milk, 829 lbs. fat and 656 lbs. protein. With his herd of nearly 50 animals, Kyle now owns one-sixth of the family operation, and plans on continuing his investment into the farm and what he plans on being his future. “My main goal for the future is to return to our family farm and help it become more successful,” said Kyle. By obtaining a degree in finance, he hopes he can apply newly acquired skills, such as successful investing, bookkeeping and marketing, and apply such to their family operation. Although his day-to-day activities on the farm have changed since becoming a full-time college student, Kyle still makes time for the cows. He spends weekends at home, and always tries to be on hand for visits from appraisers or analysts so that he can share his knowledge of the herd. During the summer months he spends his time working in the field and exhibiting top-quality animals on the show circuit. Kyle has had great success throughout the years at the Wayne County (OH) Junior Fair, taking home the Grand Champion banner in 2005, 2006 and 2007, and the Page 24

Reserve Grand Champion in 2009. At The 2007 All American Junior Jersey show, he captured the title of best bred and owned aged cow. He is also a regular showman in the Ohio State Fair and the District 7 Jersey show in Ohio. Kyle has also developed a knack for identifying top cattle to add to his growing herd. Five times he has placed among the top 20 for the Pot O’Gold contest, his pinnacle being a seventh place finish in 2009. He has also frequented the top 10 list for the national production contest, with a best finish of fifth place in 2004. Also helping develop him as a successful Jersey breeder has been his involvement with showmanship and judging contests. Dating back to a 2005 team win and second place individual finish at the Big E Regional Dairy Judging Competition, Kyle has regularly demonstrated his knowledge of the Jersey breed. He built upon his success the following year taking home a Silver Individual award at the National FFA Dairy Judging Contest. Demonstrating his success as a showman, this Jersey youth was named reserve junior supreme champion of the showmanship contest at the Wayne County fair in 2002, and supreme champion in 2003. Success followed Kyle into the senior showman division as he was named reserve senior supreme showman in 2005 and 2008. His commitment to the breed extends beyond the tanbark through continuous involvement in the Ohio Jersey Association, in which he was named Ohio Junior Jersey Breeders Outstanding Boy in 2005 and served as an officer and on the board of directors for the association. Kyle has also taken every opportunity to interact and learn from Jersey breeders across the country through his involvement in the AJCA by being a member of the inaugural Jersey Youth Academy. He was also awarded the 2009 William A. Russell Memorial Scholarship. Through his quest for a deeper understanding of the dairy industry, Kyle has gained more than financial skills to take back to his family farm. Amber Ettinger Another familiar name to grace the list of Jersey youth winners is 20-year-old Amber Ettinger, Will Do Jerseys, Kinards, S.C. Jumping up two spots this year to fifth place is this Virginia Tech student just beginning her sophomore year in the dairy science program. Amber is the daughter of Ed and Cheryl Ettinger, and is one busy Jersey youth. In 2009, Amber was the South Carolina Jersey Queen, part of the inaugural Jersey Youth Academy class, placed in the top

five for the National Jersey Queen contest and was awarded numerous achievement scholarships—including the Reuben R. Cowles Youth Award, South Carolina Jersey Cattle Association Scholarship, Dairy Herd Information Association Scholarship and Dairy Farmers of America Scholarship. In that same year, she was also awarded the South Carolina State 4-H PresiEttinger dential Tray and scholarship and was the South Carolina honoree for the President’s Volunteer Service Award. Back home, her Jersey girls were just as busy. Her herd of 18 heifers and 20 cows were scored as one Excellent and 10 Very Good. The group also had a DHIR average actual production of 15,983 lbs. milk, 785 lbs. fat and 594 lbs. protein on 14 records. Amber has won several other notable awards, including consecutive first-place finishes in the 2007 and 2008 South Carolina Jersey Production Contest. Also helping realize the strong genetics of her herd has been the national Pot O’Gold Production Contest and National Jersey Youth Production Contest, having placed seventh in both. Amber has taken many opportunities to share information of the dairy industry with those in the same sector and those on the outside. Serving as 4-H Ambassador of the Year in 2008, and runner-up to the cause in 2007, she had the opportunity to reach people all across the industry. Amber has also excelled at the state level when it comes to speeches and dairy poster contests, taking home a first and second place finish in 2008 and 2009. She has also given AJCA annual meeting attendees a taste of her Jersey knowledge, placing third in the 2008 TalkJersey contest. An additional area she has done well in is dairy judging. She has competed in the South Carolina 4-H Judging contest nine times where she has been part of the winning team four times, and taken home two individual first places. This Jersey youth has also had success in the show arena, regularly participating in the Clemson Spring Dairy Show and Laurens County (SC) Fair, having exhibited three reserve grand champions throughout her career. Amber also regularly competes in the showmanship contest of both the Laurens County Fair and Spring Dairy Show. (continued to page 26)

Youth Achievement Contest (continued from page 24)

At home, Amber helps with many of the day-to-day tasks of owning a Jersey herd. Although her responsibilities have changed since she enrolled at Virginia Tech, she still helps with milking, halter breaking heifers, giving shots, dehorning, ear tagging and making hay. As she continues to explore the options and opportunities in Virginia Tech’s Dairy Science program, Amber knows two things for sure. One is her perpetual love for the Jersey cow, and the other is her passion for community service—two activities that will surely keep this young Jersey breeder busy into the coming years. Cassandra Chittenden The sixth place winner of the National Jersey Youth Achievement contest may be the youngest of the 10, but she is far from inexperienced. Cassandra Chittenden, Dutch Hollow Farm, Schodack Landing, N.Y., just completed her senior year of high school and is looking forward to her enrollment at Cornell University where she will be studying animal science. Cassie is the daughter of Brian and Beth Chittenden, and granddaughter of Melanie Chittenden and former AJCA president

Page 26

and this year’s Distinguished Service honoree, Paul Chittenden. She currently owns 19 heifers and 21 cows, three of which are scored Excellent and nine Very Good. The 2009 DHIR average actual production on 15 records was 18,951 lbs. milk, 909 lbs. fat and 675 lbs. protein. Cassie has regularly placed in the New York, New England and national youth production contests since 2001, Chittenden winning 10 of the production titles (five in the New York contest, five in the New England contest) and placing three times in the national contest. It seems others have also noticed the quality of Cassandras animals, as she has sent five bulls into A.I. and sold a heifer in the Pot O’Gold sale. Along with awards for her outstanding Jerseys, Cassie has also won numerous awards for her “master” showman skills. She has been named Master Showperson of the Columbia County (NY) fair three times and had the same honor bestowed upon her during the Delaware County (NY) Parish Show. At the age of 10 she was

named the Reserve Master Showperson of the Columbia County (NY) Fair, a title she took home on two additional occasions. Although she has had immense success with the Jersey breed, her accomplishments are wide-ranging. Cassandra is currently serving as the Columbia County (NY) Jersey Princess and has been a member of the Columbia County Dairy Promotion board for the past six years. She is a member of her district and state Jersey club, and the AJCA. She took second place in the 2006 TalkJersey competition and then captured first place in 2008 and was on the first place team from the Jersey Youth Challenge at the 2009 AJCA Annual Meeting. This busy youth was also chosen to take part in the inaugural Jersey Youth Academy and participated in a youth roundtable for the September 2008 Jersey Journal. Adding to her list of Jersey success is the quality Cassie has brought to the tanbark. The word “champion” is a yearly accomplishment for this youth. In 2003, 2005 and 2007, Cassie exhibited the Supreme Junior Champion at the Columbia County (NY) 4-H show and even the Supreme Senior Champion in 2003. In 2003, 2008 and 2009 she exhibited the Reserve Grand Champion of The Big E Junior Show, Columbia County

JERSEY JOURNAL

(NY) 4-H Show and the Columbia County (NY) Open Show. However, the list does not stop there; she has exhibited an additional four junior champions and six reserve junior champions. She credits her wide collection of community activities to her involvement with their family Jersey cows at an early age. “My passion for the Jersey cow has driven me to become involved as much as I can in the dairy industry,” Cassie said. “My experiences have shaped me as a person.” She plans on maintaining that tradition as she starts college and is able to discover which side of the dairy industry will be right for her. “Dairy cows will continue to serve as the cornerstone of my life and future career.” Stacey Theobald The second Jersey youth representing Pennsylvania is 19-year-old Stacey Theobald, Riverside-F Farm, Waymart. The daughter of Charles and Amy Theobald just completed her freshman year at Penn State University where she is studying animal science. Stacey is making her first appearance on the top 10 winners list, boasting a Theobald herd of 18 heifers and 16 cows. Her rolling herd average in December 2009 was 16,061 lbs. milk, 843 lbs. fat and 618 lbs. protein on 16 lactations. Of the 16 cows, two are scored Excellent with 11 achieving Very Good status. She is a recurring contributor to the Pennsylvania and AJCA production contests, placing as high as fourth in the Pennsylvania competition. Through involvement with the Jersey breed Stacey has been able to realize the best path for her future. “The Jersey cow, along with 4-H, has opened many doors,” said Stacey. “I have been able to build a strong resume with all of the activities associated with the Jersey breed.” The ultimate goal of this ambitious Nittany Lion is to add the title Ph.D. after her name. After finishing her undergraduate work and obtaining a teaching certificate in biology, Stacey would like to join the academic world; but not before expanding on operations at Riverside-F Farm. She would like to develop new flavors of milk, ice cream and other dairy products to be implemented (continued to page 28)

september 2010 Page 27

Youth Achievement Contest (continued from page 27)

in her family’s new creamery. This work would not only benefit their Jersey herd and business, but benefit Stacey in such a way she could still stay involved with her Jersey herd. Along with an emphasis on developing dairy products, Stacey also places great value on advancing Jersey genetics. She stresses the already profitable components and functional type traits, calving ease, grazing ability and environmental adaptability the Jersey cow possesses. “With positive support, aggressive leaders in the industry, the latest research and a strong youth program, the Jersey breed could easily rise to the top and be the most popular breed of dairy cow,” said Stacey. Also scored “excellent” are the showmanship skills of the youth. Her most recent feat comes from the 2009 Northeast (PA) District Dairy Show in which she was name the Pennsylvania Master Exhibitor—a title she has garnered five times total. As an exhibitor at the Wayne County (PA) Fair, Stacey has twice been named the Grand Champion Showman and has a trifecta of Reserve Grand Champion Showman wins at the same venue. The animals being exhibited by Stacey,

Page 28

have also shared similar recognition. In 2005 and 2008 she held the halter for the Grand and Reserve Champions at the Northeast (PA) District Dairy Show, accomplishing the same effort at the 2008 Wayne County (PA) Fair. She has also been a regular and successful exhibitor in the Pennsylvania All-American Dairy Show, Premier National Show and All American Jersey Show. No matter if she is in the barn, at the halter, in class or searching for ways to improve her family farm and creamery, Stacey will continue to maintain a high level or performance for her cows, and herself as a representative for the dairy industry. Avery Lutz Making her first appearance on the National Youth Achievement winners list is 19-yearold Avery Lutz of Deerview Jersey Farm, Mocksville, N.C. Avery is the daughter of Wayne and Karen Lutz and just completed her freshman Lutz year at New River Community College where she is studying

dairy science and agricultural communication. Her ultimate goal is to transfer to Virginia Tech to continue her dairy science studies and be involved with the campus dairy club and judging team. Although she has only completed her inaugural year, Avery is anxious to learn all she can about the dairy industry through the completion of multiple internships and experiences. To help supplement her classroom and field education, she would like to travel overseas to explore the different ideas and practices of foreign dairy markets. Helping fuel this desire and passion for the dairy industry is lifetime of Jersey involvement. Her herd currently boasts 17 heifers and 21 cows. Their 2009 DHIA average actual production was 20,556 lbs. milk on 25 records. From her group of cows, six are scored Excellent with 17 coming in Very Good. In 2009, she placed seventh in the National Youth Production Contest and received the Biltmore Farm Trophy for High Cow in North Carolina. Avery has also helped others develop their passion for the dairy industry through her involvement in her state and national Jersey cattle club. Currently she is serving on the planning committee for the All American Jersey Junior Show. In 2009, (continued to page 30)

JERSEY JOURNAL

Youth Achievement Contest (continued from page 28)

she attended the inaugural Jersey Youth Academy and helped plan the National 4-H Dairy Youth Conference. Avery also competes in showmanship and judging contests, both venues of success for this Jersey youth. Most recently, she was the Senior Showmanship Winner at the 2009 All American Junior Show. In 2007 she was the first high individual for the North Carolina. Dairy Judging Contest and the FFA state judging contest, where she was additionally named first high in reasons. That same year she was the North Carolina District showmanship winner and placed Gold at the National FFA Convention Dairy Handlers contest. She continued her success in 2008, when she placed first in the Southwest District Showmanship contest and placed second high in reasons during the North Carolina FFA Judging contest. Throughout her years as a showman, Avery has fashioned herself a successful string of animals and an impressive list of wins. Her most recent feat was a Grand Champion banner at the North Carolina State Fair Junior Show in 2009, in addition to taking home the best three females of the North Carolina State Fair Open Show that same year. In 2008, she held the title Grand Champion on two occasions, Reserve Grand Champion three times, Junior Champion two times and took home a Reserve Junior Champion banner as well. She has been a regular in the ring for The All American Jersey Show, Northwest District (NC) Dairy Show, North Carolina State Fair Junior and Open shows, the Dixie Classic Open and Junior Shows, Rowan County (NC) Fair, Cabarras County (NC) Fair and the Southwest District (NC) Dairy Show. While she looks forward to her academic career, she can be sure she has the passion and drive to carry her through the back nine as she did the first. Julie Ozburn Like many young members, Julie Ozburn believes she discovered her career path through her involvement with Jerseys and her family farm. This 20-yearold is making her second appearance on the top 10 list as she begins Ozburn her junior year at Middle Tennessee State University. Page 30

The daughter of Jim and Jo Ann Ozburn, Ozburn Brothers Jerseys, Nolensville, Tenn., Julie is currently studying agribusiness and accounting. Julie is a third-generation Jersey breeder with a herd comprised of 15 heifers and nine cows. The 2009 DHIA average actual production on 15 records was 12,934 lbs. milk, 491 lbs. fat and 641 lbs. protein— almost 200 pounds more than three years ago. Three of her cows have been scored Excellent, with seven scored Very Good and in 2008 she placed eighth in the National Jersey Youth Production Contest. When not at home tending to her growing herd, Julie is an avid promoter of the Jersey cow. She served as the 2007-2008 Tennessee Jersey Queen and the first alternate to the National Jersey Queen in 2008, an honor she also held in 2007. Through her participation in 4-H, FFA, Block and Bridle and Collegiate FFA, Julie has taken many opportunities to share her love for the industry and Jersey breed. It is through these experiences Julie feels prepared to eventually find her way to the right career, which she hopes to be with Farm Credit Services. “I believe my involvement with Jerseys has given me the background and experience to work with farmers and help them be profitable,” said Julie of her professional aspirations. “My participation in public speaking and demonstrations events will help me communicate to the farmers when delivering information to groups.” Credit must also be given to her experience with evaluating and showing animals when it comes to helping develop the confident speaker Julie is today. She was the first high individual overall and in reasons during the state 4-H dairy judging contest in 2008. After building and demonstrating her own skills, Julie began volunteering her time as a coach for the Page High School FFA dairy judging team in 2007 and 2008. Julie has also been fortunate in the show arena, exhibiting numerous highly decorated animals. From 2006 to 2009, she took home 12 Grand Champion banners, two most notably from the Tennessee State Fair. Adding to the banner count are four reserve grand champions, four junior champions, three senior champions and a reserve junior champion. Her efforts have not gone unnoticed by the dairy industry. In 2009, she was awarded the Farm Credit Services of MidAmerica scholarship, Tennessee Farmer’s Co-op scholarship and the Maryland Virginia Milk Co-op scholarship. Preceding that list of awards was the Williamson County (TN) Rotary Club scholarship, the V. D. Parsons Memorial

scholarship and the Williamson County (TN) Outstanding 4-H scholarship, all awarded in 2008. While home on the family dairy, Julie’s main priority is taking care of their heifers, what she refers to as the “future of the farm.” She bottle feeds calves, feeds heifers and assists with milking when needed. With a family herd of over 100 cows, the herd’s heifers and some Jersey steers, Julie has her hands full when home from school. Julie’s strong background has been the catalyst for her clear future—a future she hopes will enable her to provide a more positive outlook for the general public, and an expanded population of little brown cows. Daniel Fugate Rounding out this year’s list of accomplished Jersey youth is 19-year-old Daniel Fugate, F&W Jerseys, Whitesburg, Tenn. This is his first appearance in the National Jersey Youth Achievement Contest, having just completed his freshman year at Walters State Community College where he is studying vetFugate erinary medicine. Daniel’s herd of seven heifers and 11 cows currently boasts one Excellent cow and five Very Good. The 2009 DHIR average actual milk production on four records was 18,900 lbs. milk, 654 lbs. fat and 622 lbs. protein, noting a 3,000 lb. gain in milk production from the previous year on the same number of cows. It has not been a life of dairying for this Jersey youth, though, his family had traditionally operated a beef cattle farm. But Daniel decided to break that mold and venture out on his own into the dairy world and the Jersey cow. He purchased his first Jersey in 2004, and has been making steady progress since. As his herd and confidence have grown, Daniel has become more involved in the business side of his new undertaking. He recently enrolled his herd in REAP and moved the milking cows to a nearby dairy so they could participate in a milk testing program. In addition to managing his own herd, Daniel handles the morning milkings of a nearby dairy, allowing him to constantly be learning from his peers in the dairy industry. Back in his own herd, Daniel is starting to make a name for himself and his (continued to page 32)

high producing cows. In 2009, he had the highest producing Jersey at the Tennessee State Junior Show, again at the Jersey Appalachian Regional Open Jersey show and earned a spot at the top of the three-year-old cow class for the state junior production contest. He also won two protein awards for his four-yearold and his junior two-year-old cows at The 2009 All American Junior Show. His animals have been recognized for excellent dairy type traits, winning numerous shows throughout the Southeast. In 2009, he was at the halter for six grand champions and two reserve grand champions. His best year-to-date might have been 2008, where he took home Premier Performance cows at the state junior show, two grand champions, one reserve champion, five junior champions, one reserve junior champion and the best bred by exhibitor calf at the regional show. In his short campaign as a Jersey breeder, Daniel has no doubt accumulated a list of achievements that reads like a recipe for success. Daniel has also quickly developed into an excellent showman and cattle evaluator. He was given the nod to be champion showman of the State Jersey Senior

Page 32

contest, Eastern Regional competition and two county showmanship contests in 2009. He was also named the high individual of the regional dairy judging contest in 2007 and 2008. This Jersey youth is not yet content, though. He plans on expanding his herd to the point he could start his own operation upon graduating with a degree in veterinary medicine. “With this herd, I hope to raise my cattle’s overall recognition, market bulls and increase my cattle’s overall production level,” said Daniel of his future plans. He hopes to develop sound genetics that will perform in the parlor as well as they represent the breed in the show arena. While he continues to grow as a producer and learn more about the business and Jersey breed, Daniel takes comfort in choices he has thus far made. “I went from a shy 13-year-old to an outgoing and happier person and became more confident as I saw the decisions that I was making regarding the Jerseys.” Winners of the National Jersey Youth Achievement Contest 1957 1958 1959 1960 1961 1962

Thoughts from the National Jersey Queen

As I write this message, I’m also busy packing my bags. That is, packing my bags for our county fair this week, our great Minnesota State Fair next week and college in three weeks. I will be attending the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities to study Agriculture Education (communications and leadership). Wo r l d D a i r y Expo and the All American Jersey Shows are just around the corner and on my packing Kasper list too. While at the Expo, I will be attending numerous shows along with the National Dairy Shrine banquet, to receive the McCullough Scholarship. I will also be competing in the Dairy Bowl contest. Since being crowned National Jersey Queen last November, the months have flown by quickly. My visit to Portland, Ore., for the annual meeting was quite eventful and I had the greatest time getting to know many of the youth who also share my passion for Jerseys. I enjoyed the opportunity to visit many dairy facilities and to learn about dairy farms on the west coast. Where did the summer go to? In Minnesota, we have two words to describe our summer—hot and humid. But the corn sure grew. The rule my grandfather taught me “Knee high by the Fourth of July” was more like “Me high by the Fourth of July.” I’ve spent the past eight months promoting and educating others about our favorite brown cows, at county events, banquets, parades, conventions and conferences. The two words that I would use to describe my reign as National Jersey Queen are: privileged and proud. I have the privilege to own Jerseys and it has truly been a privilege to serve as the National Jersey Queen. Attending so many educational events to learn more and teach others about the Jersey breed has been rewarding. I have met so many nice people who have shared their lifetime of Jersey stories with me and who are interested in my stories in return. I am proud to represent all of you. It gives me great pride to recognize your many accomplishments by presenting awards and ribbons for your hard work. The remainder of my summer and fall will be filled with many more of those heart-warming opportunities to recognize Jersey breeders with awards at upcoming county, state and international shows. september 2010

I can’t think of a better way to have spent this year! I would like to thank everyone for making the Jersey breed what it is today, which gives me these wonderful opportunities as your representative! incerely, Stephanie Kasper, Owatonna, Minn.

Youth Production Contests (continued from page 34)

The siblings purchased “Darla” from Covington Jerseys, Leon, Iowa, as a two-year-old at a sale in Elkhorn, Wis., in 2006. Being their first partnership animal, she became an instant favorite. The Excellent-93% daughter of Sunset Canyon Michael-ET, GJPI +80, is the perfect balance of milk and show and the trio has many memories on the tanbark trail. “She is very laid back and we can do almost anything with her,” noted Colin. Page 36

“In fact, she is so used to the pampering that she falls asleep in the ring—not great for showmanship.” “Darla” was tapped as Grand Champion of the Wisconsin Spring Spectacular Junior Show in 2007 and Reserve Grand Champion of the Wisconsin State Fair Junior Show two years later. At the 2007 All American Junior Jersey Show, she was named Reserve Junior All American Senior Three-Year-Old and earned honors as the show’s Overall Premier Performance Cow. The following year, she returned to

the green shavings in Louisville and was named Reserve Junior All American FourYear-Old. With “Darla” now retired from the show arena, the Wussows are focusing on other members of the herd, including “Darla’s” granddaughter, Milk-N-More-KCW Governor Diva, an intermediate heifer calf in the Wussow show string this summer. “Both Kaila and Colin love Jersey programs because it gives them opportunity to make friends and learn about other operations across the country,” remarked JERSEY JOURNAL

their mother, Nicolle. “Jersey does a lot for the kids.” Taylor Martin, Tillamook, Ore., placed second in Division II with her entry, Cal-Mart Mecca Hazelle 9054. “Hazelle” made a record with an m.e. of 29,991–1,365–1,047 and a dollar value of $5,113.87. Actual production on the 2-8 record stands at 25,670 lbs. milk, 1,188 lbs. fat and 904 lbs. protein. The Excellent-90% daughter of Sunset Canyon Mecca-ET, GJPI +54, is ranked among the top 1½% for JPI with an index of +149 after the August 2010 genetic evaluations. “Hazelle” is the product of a state Pot of Gold program. Taylor purchased her grandam, Dutch Hollow Glass Hestia, from Dutch Hollow Farms, Schodack Landing, N.Y., at the New York Pot of Gold Sale in 2002. “Hestia” placed 10th in Division I of the National Jersey Youth Production Contest in 2004 with her first lactation and then produced two subsequent lactations over 20,000 lbs. milk. Her four-year-old granddaughter, “Hazelle,” has calved three times and is due with her fourth calf—contracted to Alta Genetics if a bull—by Heartland Salinas Seneca of RV, GJPI +142, in March. She was flushed to Tollenaars Impuls Legal 233-ET, GJPI +178, and Cal-Mart Navara Blade, GJPI +159, and pregnancies due in February are contracted to Genex/ CRI. Her two youngest daughters born in February 2009 and January 2010 and respectively sired by ISDK Q Impuls, GJPI +172, and Cal-Mart Jace Strunk, GJPI +159, are contracted as well to ABS Global and Genex/CRI. The cow that placed third in Division II of the National Jersey Youth Production Contest is another milk wagon that comes by her genes naturally. D&E Abe Eda, owned by Theresa G. Sweeney, Visalia, Calif., produced an actual record of 23,110 lbs. milk, 1,000 lbs. fat and 874 lbs. protein at 2-10. The m.e. on this record is 28,632–1,185–904 and the dollar value is $4,771.91. The Excellent-90% “Abe” daughter is out of D&E Ferreira Sky Eda, who placed sixth in the 2009 Leading Living Lifetime Production Contest with credits of 232,593 lbs. milk, 10,256 lbs. fat and 8,957 lbs. protein in 4,070 days. Sweeney has shown she has a keen eye for purchasing productive, profitable Registered Jerseys. She has placed in the National Jersey Youth Production Contest four of the past five years with key foundation purchases from other Jersey breeders. For the third straight year, Amy Maxwell, Donahue, Iowa, placed in the National Jersey Youth Production Contest (continued to page 38)

the honors this year with his entry, Woodstock Jace Leslie 3-ET. Wetmore, who is making his debut in the rankings of the youth production contests, placed second in the Pot O’Gold Production Contest as well and earned a check in the amount of $2,560 for his share of the winnings from the pot. “Leslie” produced an actual record of 21,700 lbs. milk, 992 lbs. fat and 762 lbs. protein at 1-10. The m.e. on the record is 30,229–1,334–1,045 and the dollar value is $5,066.27. She is sired by Windy Willow Montana Jace, GJPI +97, and appraised Excellent-90%. Wetmore, a senior at West Rowan High School, got his start in dairying about 10 years ago. His Registered Jersey herd now numbers four cows and 14 heifers, with milking individuals residing at Sunny Day Farm, Chester, S.C., and Piedmont Jerseys, Lincolnton, N.C. Wetmore has been able to improve the genetic level of his herd first with the purchase of “Leslie” from the Pot O’Gold Sale in 2007 and then BK/DK Louie Julianna, a P8 daughter of BHF-SSF Parade Louie-ET, GJPI +84, from the National Heifer Sale in 2009. His interest in the Pot O’Gold program was sparked by his grandfather, Ted Luther, Mount Ulla, N.C., through their travels to All American festivities in Louisville. Wetmore began to save his show winnings and had enough cash for a purchase from the sale in 2007. Of special interest to him and his grandfather was “Leslie,” who was consigned by Woodstock Dairy, Beaver, Ore., and sold one week shy of her first birthday. “We really liked our other ‘Jace’ daughters and thought ‘Leslie’ was a good bet for the contest and my herd,” said Wetmore. “She is from the ‘Leslie’ family at Woodstock and has solid breeding way back.” Wetmore is now striving to turn a profit on his $4,850 investment in “Leslie.” She calved with a “Louie” bull calf in September 2008 and completed the lactation that earned laurels in the production contest this past October. She calved with her second calf—a heifer by Pres-Dell Rogs Reaction-ET, GJPI +61—in December and has been flushed to Sweetie Plus Iatolas Bold, GJPI +154, and All Lynns Louie Valentino, GJPI +177. Four “Iatolas Bold” pregnancies are due in late December and one “Valentino” is due in late March. For the second consecutive year, Stephanie Sukalski, Le Roy, Minn., has placed second in Division I.

cord of 22,720 lbs. milk, 1,263 lbs. fat and 805 lbs. protein at 1-11. The m.e. on the record is 27,276–1,460–963 and the dollar value is $5,028.11. Like Wetmore, Sukalski purchased her winning heifer from the Pot O’Gold Sale in 2007. Sukalski ranked third in the Pot O’Gold Production Contest and earns a check for $1,780.92. The eighth-grader at Le Roy Ostrander Middle School owns animals, including “Pomegranate,” in partnership with her brothers, Joseph and Kenric. The sibling’s nine Registered Jerseys are herdmates to 400 milking Holsteins at Reiland Farms LLP. Jerseys were brought to the farm near the Iowa border as 4-H projects and are making names for themselves at the high-visibility Holstein farm. “Pomegranate” was on our short list because she was one of the older bred heifers,” said Sukalski. “A bonus was that she was bred using sexed semen.” The Excellent-90% “Pomegranate” is sired by SC Gold Dust Paramount IatolaET, GJPI +62. She completed a second lactation of 24,530 lbs. milk, 1,222 lbs. fat and 868 lbs. protein (3x milking) at 3-0. The purchase has greatly increased the equity of the Sukalski Jersey herd. The heifer “Pomegranate” carried, Tri-Koebel Jacinto Passion, was born in May 2008. “Passion” has since calved with a heifer of her own by BW Academy-ET, GJPI +111. “Pomegranate” is a multi-generational product of the Pot O’Gold program. She was consigned to the Pot O’Gold Sale by Tera Koebel, Three Oaks, Mich., who had purchased “Pomegranate’s” grandam, Montana B Pimento, Excellent-92%, in the Pot O’Gold Sale in 2001 from Rowzee Jersey Farm, Newton, Miss. “Pimento” placed fourth in the 2004 Pot O’Gold Page 42

Production Contest and ranked in the top five of the National Jersey Youth Production Contest three times. Koebel sent three bulls out of “Pimento” to A.I. Placing third in Division I of the production contest is Taryn Martin, Tillamook, Ore. Her home-bred entry, Cal-Mart Rocket Kaylee 9160, produced a 1-11 record with an m.e. of 32,329–1,211–986 and a dollar value of $4,811.38. Actual production on the record is 25,040 lbs. milk, 947 lbs. fat and 756 lbs. protein. Martin has since sold the daughter of O.F. Barber Rocket, GJPI +23, to Rick and Cindy Jensen, Nehalem, Ore. Martin used the AJCA mating tool, JerseyMate, to identify the mating that resulted in “Kaylee.” Martin Dairy identifies a group of high cheese merit bulls for use in JerseyMate and then relies on the program’s recommendations for mates for their cows and heifers, including “Kaylee’s” dam. Martin graduated from Tillamook High School in 2009 and now splits her time between the family farm and the Tillamook Loaf Love Tour. She has a special interest in the cattle and is jack-of-all-trades at the dairy, lending a hand wherever work is needed. She is also an ambassador for the Loaf Love Tour, traveling with the iconic orange mini-bus to grocery stores and farmer’s markets across the western half of the country to promote Tillamook cheese. She recently was named Rookie of the Year for her efforts to promote Tillamook Cheese, the processor that purchases milk from Martin Dairy. Pennsylvania junior, Tucker Hardy, Belleville, placed fourth in the contest with his entry, AF Adrienne. At 1-9, “Adrienne” produced a record with an m.e. of 26,768–1,238–953 and a dollar value of $4,632.32. The Very Good-85% daughter of Highland Duncan Lester, GJPI -59,

produced an actual record of 19,650 lbs. milk, 927 lbs. fat and 707 lbs. protein. Rounding out the top five placings in Division I was Dorothea Riley Baker, Wyoming, N.Y. Her entry, DRB Abe Piglet, produced 17,890 lbs. milk, 1,021 lbs. fat and 672 lbs. protein at 1-11. The m.e. on the record is 22,777–1,290–863 and the dollar value is $4,428.34. The component queen is sired by Ahlem Lemvig Abe-ET, GJPI +130, and appraised Very Good-81%. Other juniors who will be recognized for placing in Division I of the National Jersey Youth Production Contest are: Nathan Lawton, Newark Valley, N.Y.; Zachary Phillips, Seneca, Kan.; Olivia Price Pearson, Lincolnton, N.C.; Emily Jane Chittenden, Schodack Landing, N.Y.; and Katherine Elizabeth DeWitt, Accord, N.Y. Other juniors who will be recognized for placing in Division II of the National Jersey Youth Production Contest are: Mikhayla Luttropp, Berlin, Wis.; Sterling Hardy, Belleville, Pa.; Brittany Core, Salvisa, Ky.; Amber M. Lippy, Union Bridge, Md.; and Amanda Mohr, Glencoe, Minn. Pot O’Gold Production Contest Since its inception in 1958, the Pot O’Gold Sale has offered youth between the ages of seven and 20 the opportunity to purchase genetically-superior heifers from top herds across the country. A percentage of the sale gross (varying from 7-25% over the years) is set aside in a fund and held for three years to provide cash awards for the juniors whose heifers complete the highest records for dollar value. In 2007, the Pot O’Gold program offered 34 heifers to juniors in two sales: one in Tillamook, Ore., in June, and the other in Louisville, Ky., in November. From the sale of those heifers, $22,261.50 was set aside in the fund to pay out this year. It will be distributed as follows: first prize, 18%; second, 11.5%; third, 8%; fourth, 6.5%; fifth, 6%; sixth, 5.5%; seventh, 5%; eighth, 4.5%; ninth and 10th, 4%; 11th-13th, 3%; 14th-16th, 2.5% each; 17th-19th, 2.0%; and 20th-22nd, 1.5%. To qualify for competition in the Pot O’Gold Production Contest, heifers must calve before they reach 30 months-of-age, be tested in a DHI herd owned by the purchaser or his or her parents, and have a Data Collection Rating of 90 or higher. Loss, death or transfer of ownership of any purchase before the record is complete eliminates the heifer from competition. This year, 26 entries met the qualifications to compete in the 2010 edition of the contest. The average m.e. production on the top 22 entries is 23,403–1,108–841 and the average dollar value is $4,107.13. Like (continued to page 44)

the National Youth Production Contest, rankings are based on dollar value. As mentioned previously, the winner of the 2010 Pot O’Gold Production Contest is Michael R. Kortus. His entry, Havs Iatola Topaz, produced a record with a dollar value of $7,120.02. The 305-day production on the 1-10 record is 32,270 lbs. milk, 1,615 lbs. fat and 1,079 lbs. protein, with a cheese yield of 3,727 lbs. After placing second two of the past three years—first in 2007 with his own entry and then again in 2008 with an entry owned with his sister, Melissa—Kortus took top honors in this year’s Pot O’Gold Production Contest. He will be presented with a check in the amount of $4,007.07— an amount that fully covers the $4,000 price he paid for the broken-colored heifer calf in 2007. The achievement is another feather in the cap of the 18-year-old, whose Registered Jersey herd of 13 milking cows and 11 heifers comprises a good portion of Mainstream Jerseys, the highest-producing Jersey herd in the country. Kortus will attend Whatcom Community College in Bellingham this fall, with plans to pursue farm business management or accounting at a four-year-school thereafter. It was with a picky eye that Kortus looked over the sale consignments in the catalog that celebrated the golden anniversary of the Pot O’Gold program in 2007. After all, at that point, his herd included standouts, Lagerweys Hallmark Redrose, winner of the 2003 National Jersey Youth Production Contest, Schirm Golden Marcy, second in the 2007 Pot O’Gold Production Contest, and Schirm Rocket Vintage, second in the 2008 Pot O’Gold Production Contest. Always one to capitalize on opportunity, Kortus attended the sale in Louisville in November, checked out all the heifers, studied their pedigrees and set his sights on “Topaz,” the fourth-youngest heifer of

Page 44

the bunch. “I liked her pedigree because she was a member of the ‘Jade’ family,” said Kortus. Her grandam is a full sister to Havs Berretta Jade, Excellent-95%, who was developed by Forest Glen Jerseys and has seven sons in A.I. Kortus was successful in placing the final bid on the “Iatola” daughter consigned by Frederick G. Havill, Tyringham, Mass., and brought her home to the farm in northwest Washington. Kortus bred “Topaz” to Forest Glen Meccas Jevon-ET, GJPI +114, and she calved with a heifer in December 2008. Her first lactation is the National Class Leader for fat and cheese yield production by milking yearlings and ranks second for milk and protein. Her extended record of 4,835 lbs. cheese yield in 365 days ranks as the 25th high cheese yield record in breed history. “Topaz” freshened with her second calf this February and she appraised Very Good-88% at 3-4. She ranks among the top 1½% for JPI with an index of +129. Kortus is hoping to have the same success with her offspring as he has with the progeny of his other foundation animals. Two “Redrose” daughters, Mainstream Roxy-ET and Mainstream Golden RosaET, have records ranked on the National Class Leader list as does “Marcy’s” only daughter, Mainstream Jace Mauai. “I appreciate youth production programs because they promote the reason we are all here—the breeding and development of good milk cows,” said Kortus. “The Pot O’Gold program also helps juniors get really good foundation animals for a fair price.” The second and third-ranked juniors in the contest, Steven T. Wetmore and Stephanie Sukalski, and their entries have been mentioned previously. Theresa G. Sweeney placed fourth in the Pot O’Gold Production Contest with Wilsonview Abe Airie. The Very Good83% “Abe” daughter produced a record with a dollar value of $4,384.87. In her

first lactation, she produced 19,340 lbs. milk, 841 lbs. fat and 676 lbs. protein in 277 days. Sweeney will receive $1,447.00 as her share of the pot, recouping nearly all of the $1,500 she paid for “Airie” at the Western Pot O’Gold Sale in 2007. “Airie” was consigned by Wilsonview Dairy. Rounding out the top five placings in the 2010 Pot O’Gold Production Contest is Zachary Phillips, Seneca, Kan., with his entry, Hi-Land Impuls Montana. The dollar value on the “Impuls” daughter’s first lactation is $4,342.86. Her actual 305-day production for the 1-8 record stands at 19,680 lbs. milk, 954 lbs. fat and 746 lbs. protein (3x milking). Phillips will take home a cash prize of $1,335.69. The Nemaha Valley sophomore is using the Pot O’Gold program almost exclusively to develop his herd and help to finance college down the road. The six head of Registered Jerseys in his herd all trace to Pot O’Gold purchases—“Montana” and a second heifer consigned to the 2008 sale by Martin Dairy LLC. Phillips got some assistance choosing “Montana” from his grandparents, Jerry and Sue Spielman, and houses his young herd at their farm, Heartland Jerseys, in northeast Kansas. “’Montana’ was ranked 85th in the nation for PA JPI at the time and she showed potential for milk,” commented Phillip’s mother, BranDee Stuke. She was consigned to the Pot O’Gold Sale by David R. Chamberlain, Wyoming, N.Y. Phillips lends a hand at Heartland Jerseys several days during the week and especially enjoys feeding calves. He is a member of the school forensics team and participates in theatre. Other juniors who will be recognized for placing in the 2010 Pot O’Gold Production Contest are: Hailey Orisio, McMinnville, Ore.; Kati Terra, Merced, Calif.; Amy Maxwell; Cody Bachelor, Angola, Ind.;

JERSEY YOUTH PROGRAMS

Eight Students to Receive $13,500 in Scholarships

ight Jersey youth continuing their educations in animal and dairy sciences, veterinary medicine, agribusiness, and evolution, ecology, and organizational biology will receive scholarships totaling $13,500—the largest amount ever awarded by the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA). Youth will receive their awards on November 6, 2010, at the Junior Banquet, which concludes the events of Junior Day at The All American Jersey Show in Louisville, Ky. The eight recipients are pursuing higher education at universities and colleges in five states—Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Virginia. This year, 40 students applied for scholarships from the AJCA. Youth can apply for as many scholarships as they are eligible to compete for. Support for the AJCA scholarship program comes from eight different funds, managed in perpetuity by the AJCA. In order to make available larger scholarship amounts, Jersey breeders can contribute to the funds at any time by contacting the AJCA at 614/322-4456. Russell Memorial Scholarships Two s c h o l a r s h i p s are given to commemorate the late William A. Russell’s lifetime of experience and service to the Jersey breed. The first scholarship, the William A. Russell Memorial Scholarship, was established in his name in 1977 and is designated for students who have completed high school and are beginning their university studies. The second scholarship was established in 2005 and is for advanced students seeking degrees in dairy science, animal science, large animal veterinary practice, dairy production or manufacturing, or dairy product marketing. In November 2006, the scholarship was renamed the RussellMalnati Scholarship for Advanced Studies, to honor another long-time supporter of the national Jersey scholarship programs—J. J. “Doc” Malnati of Bush River Jerseys, Newberry, S.C. In only its fourth year of establishment, the scholarship has the distinction of being the largest scholarship offered by the AJCA.

Russell-Malnati Scholarship for Advanced Studies Receiving the Russell-Malnati $5,000

Scholarship for the second consecutive time is Robert Joseph Trimble, Robinson, Ill. Robert is the son of Joe and Norma Trimble, who operate Trimble Farms, an 80-head Jersey herd and a flock of 125 Katahdin sheep. As he begins his second year at the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine, Robert will continue taking part in the curriculum that is proving to be as unique as his background. In a program that allows first-year students clinical coursework on day one, Robert has already shadTrimble owed doctors, assisted in surgeries and gone on farm calls. Trimble also completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Illinois. While enrolled in the animal science and chemistry programs, Robert was extensively involved in numerous campus organizations. He was a member of the university dairy club, where he helped with fundraising events like the annual calf sale and the MilkA-Cow booth at the Illinois State Fair. During this time, he was also employed at the University Dairy Research Farm, the perfect locale to learn more about the experiments and feed trials within the herd of 200 Jerseys and Holsteins. After a successful membership boost of the University of Illinois Fighting Illini Triathlon (FIT) club, and first place showing at the Big Ten Conference Triathlon Championships, Robert became Race Director for the “Tri-the-Illini” competition on campus. The event took a year to plan and required close interaction from Robert with directors from campus recreation, medical and police authorities. In the end, more than 350 runners competed and the FIT club was able to raise nearly $10,000 at the hand of their leader, Robert. This uninhibited student has also taken several opportunities to learn from other cultures. He spent two summers working as a tour guide for dog sled mushing expeditions in Alaska where he was responsible for the care and maintenance for his team of 20-35 huskies. Robert also spent a semester during his freshman year in Mexico. Stem-

ming from his interest of the Spanish language and Hispanic culture, he worked at a local grade school and attended classes at the Universidad de Guadalajara-Autonoma. Even though he has traveled internationally and trekked the Alaskan frontier, Robert still intends to return to his hometown upon graduation from veterinary school. He would like to become a partner at his uncle’s clinic so that they can expand and improve upon the current settings. He would also like to open satellite clinics in counties surrounding his home. Later in life, he plans on serving as a volunteer veterinarian along the Iditarod race, and eventually retiring to a university setting where he can share his passion for agriculture. “It is these experiences upon which I will draw in my upcoming years as an aspiring veterinarian, for obstacles I have encountered in the past will no doubt present themselves again in a variety of forms throughout my career.”

William A. Russell Memorial Scholarship Hannah Renea Bachman, Ulysses, Pa., has been named the winner of the $1,000 scholarship. She is the daughter of Mark and Melanie Bachman, and a freshman at Penn State University where she plans to study agribusiness management. Although Jerseys were not the first cow to make an appearance on Hannah’s home farm, she knew all along the smaller framed, big brown eyed cows would be the ones for her. After her parent’s added three Jerseys to their Holstein herd it was not long before Hannah had them ready for the show ring. Even when her parents Bachman sold their 100head herd, Hannah kept her Jerseys and continued to show them as 4-H projects. What started out as simply keeping animals to show turned into a business venture for this Jersey youth and her two siblings. After trying to think of ways they could keep their animals without having to farm-out the milking cows, the Bachmans (continued to page 48)

september 2010 Page 47

Jersey Youth Scholarships (continued from page 47)

decided they would start making artisan farmstead cheese from their milk. They are now the owners of God’s Country Creamery, where Hannah serves as assistant cheese-maker to 10 varieties of cheese. The value of the Jersey proved to be more than just a smaller animal for Hannah to show, it became a staple for the creamery. “The creamery is something I can return to and be able to make a living working there,” said Hannah of their two-year-old venture. By studying agribusiness, Hannah is confident she will be able to apply her new skills and make steady improvements to their creamery. “Currently the creamery is selling aged cheeses and raw milk, but I would like to see it as the one-stop-dairy-shop in the future,” said Hannah of her future ambitions. She plans on implementing a line of dairy products to include ice cream, yogurt, cream cheese and butter. Reuben Cowles Youth Award The Reuben R. Cowles Youth Award supports a variety of educational experiences for individuals whom are no older than 30 and live in one of six southern states. The trustees of this fund selected Avery Elise Lutz, a sophomore at New River Community College, Christiansburg, Va. Avery is the daughter of Wayne and Karen Lutz, Deerview Jerseys, Mocksville, N.C., part of a family that has been active in the Jersey business since 1882. When Av e r y ’s g r e a t , great-grandfather purchased his first Jersey cow more than 100 years ago little did he know it would continue to be a passion for future generations of the Lutz family, and currently for Lutz Avery. She has been actively caring for and exhibiting quality Jersey cows since owning her first Pot O’Gold heifer at the age of three. Two years later, she took home her first Grand Champion banner. Avery has been very active with the Jersey breed throughout the years, and was most recently named into the Top 10 of the National Youth Achievement contest. She also grabbed a seventh place finish in the 2009 National Youth Production Contest and was a participant in the inaugural Jersey Youth Academy. Attending three AJCA Annual Meetings and being part of the All American Youth Committee has provided this Jersey youth with even more Page 48

learning opportunities. After a heartbreaking injury her freshman year of high school, Avery was forced to end her cheerleading career, but it did not take her long to redirect her talent and enthusiasm elsewhere. Her new project became rejuvenating her high school FFA program, a program that had not seen a member for decades. Avery became the first member of the program and then helped it grow to a roster of 92 students within a year. Her participation with the Jersey cow and her FFA program helped create Avery’s career path. By studying dairy science and involving herself in as many internships and career-building events as possible, Avery is hoping for a life on the family farm that would make her Jersey-loving great-greatgrandfather proud. See page 28 for more information on Lutz and the youth achievement contest. Jack C. Nisbet Scholarship The Jack C. Nisbet Memorial Scholarship fund was created in 1965 to honor the AJCA’s seventh Executive Secretary, whom served the organization from 1943-1947. All nominees for the National Jersey Youth Achievement Contest are eligible for consideration in the year in which they compete in the youth contest. The Nisbet Scholarship of $1,500 will be presented to Lauren Brittany Core, Salvisa, Ky. Brittany is a senior at the University of Kentucky where she is studying Agricultural Education and plans on graduating in 2011. She is the 2009 National Youth Achievement contest winner after making her debut on the list last year. Brittany has been growing her herd since the age of nine Core when she received her first 4-H calf, and now has 25 heifers and 38 cows. During the summer months, she and her brother travel throughout the state with a small string of show animals, an area in which she has orchestrated much success. Her achievements do not end with the purple banners, though. She demonstrated her passion for the breed by being named the First Alternate National Jersey Queen after representing Kentucky as the State Jersey Queen in 2009. She plans on continuing to share enthusiasm for agriculture and the dairy industry by becoming an agricultural educator. Her ambitions also extend to her herd, in which she hopes to continue breeding quality, high-producing cows.

“From the competition in the show ring to the opportunity to became a better leader through my participation at the Jersey Youth Academy, the Jersey has developed me into the well-rounded person I am today.” See page 19 for more information on Core the youth achievement contest. V. L. Peterson Scholarship The fund commemorating “Vic” Peterson, the dean of Jersey area representatives, was established in 1972. The scholarship is available to students who have completed at least one year of college. This year, the $1,000 scholarship will be awarded to Michelle A. Morian, Atlantic, Pa. Michelle will be a senior at Liberty University, Lynchburg, Va., where she is studying business marketing and Christian religion. By becoming a student at Liberty, Michelle is able to complete most of her coursework online, thus allowing her to stay on the family dairy. Her parents, Gary and Denise Morian, got their start in the dairy business 20 years ago, neither Morian having any dairy experience. They currently milk 38 cows, and have 20 Jerseys in their herd of 80. Deciding to study business marketing came from an interest in the promotion of the purebred cattle. Michelle often times will compose her college assignments based on how it applies to the agricultural industry; a sector she hopes to give a unified position and voice. She has already earned the responsibility of creating advertisements for the January 2009 Pennsylvania Holstein Profiles, the fall 2009 Jersey East and the 2010 Junior Holstein Ad Contest. As she continues to learn how to effectively market cattle, Michelle is also learning how to effectively grow a dairy herd. The first Registered Jersey in her family herd was a result of the calf being her 4-H project. Since then, the herd has become completely registered and continuously increased production. One of the animals she is most proud of is Furor Dasher of Colecrest, Excellent-93%. “Dasher” completed two lactations that exceeded 20,000 lbs. milk, but was also recognized in the show arena for her excellent type, being named Senior and Grand Champion at the 2006 Pennsylvania State 4-H Show. As Michelle begins her senior year at Liberty she will continue learning how to market dairy products, all while increasing the value of her herd at home. JERSEY JOURNAL

Paul Jackson Memorial Scholarship This fund was created in 1965 to honor Paul Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s service to the Jersey breed, which spanned more than half a century. Those students who have completed at least one year of college are eligible for this award. This year, the $1,000 scholarship will be awarded to Kyle Matthew Schirm, West Salem, Ohio. Kyle is currently a sophomore at Ashland University where he is studying finance. Kyle hopes to put his degree to good use on his family farm with his parents Paul and Dawn Schirm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel that because of my dairy background and understanding of the ups and downs in an economy I was given an edge and made to want to learn more about it,â&#x20AC;? said Kyle of his studies thus far. Schirm After completing his degree, Kyle has many ambitions for his family farm. With the help of his family, he would like to start a small cheese processing facility and sell the products to local grocery stores and in their own farm market store. In the mean time, he plans to continue growing their herd and preparing financially for such an undertaking, citing the importance of their family to continue working together and making their operation successful. This year, Kyle was named a winner in the National Youth Achievement contest, having also placed in the contest and received the William A. Russell Scholarship last year. He was also member of the inaugural Jersey Youth Academy. Through his involvement in 4-H and local, state and state Jersey cattle clubs and the AJCA, Kyle has garnered a wealth of knowledge about the Jersey breed and business, skills that will propel him into further success. See page 24 for more information on Schirm the youth achievement contest. Cedarcrest Farms Scholarship The Cedarcrest Farms Scholarship was established in 1999 and has been funded by the sale of a bull at two of the Cedarcrest Sales. It is awarded to a student in large animal veterinary medicine, dairy production, dairy manufacturing, or dairy product marketing. Undergraduate and graduate students are both eligible for the award. The Cedarcrest Farms Scholarship of $1,500 will be presented to Robert James Ashley, Reedy, W. Va. The son of James and Lyneen Ashley, Robert is a recent graduate of West Virginia University, where he obtained a Bachelor of Science in Agribusi-

ness Management and Rural Development. Convinced there was more to learn about the dairy business before returning home to help operate their 90-cow herd, this Jersey youth enrolled in the dairy herd management and production program at The Ohio State University-ATI. Ashley Robert has a strong interest and commitment to the

dairy industry for someone who was not born into the dairy business. His parents ventured into the dairy business in the late 1990s and decided on Jerseys due to their excellent grazing qualities. Interning at Hails Creamery in 2009 allowed Robert to explore the opportunities afforded by Jerseys to an even greater extent. He now is focused on on-farm processing of dairy products from their family herd of Jersey cattle. Furthermore, Robert would like to market their purebred Jersey cattle and establish a name for their dairy that would be associated (continued to page 51)

Logan plans to finish his undergraduate degree this year and then employ his economics skills to help dairy farmers manage their finances more effectively to combat times of high production costs and low milk prices. He is also weighing the idea of graduate school where he could delve deeper into agricultural policy and pricing and foreign agriculture, another interest of his. In addition to his professional aspirations, Logan also hopes to expand his fitting business past the Mid-Altantic region and garner a reputation as an excellent fitter. He has been running show strings for other Jersey breeders, exhibiting his fitting and clipping skills; a project he started in 2008. (continued to page 52)

Investing In Their Future

The Pot O’Gold Sale has a longstanding history within the American Jersey Cattle Association and the youth of the organization. What started as a production contest and an opportunity for Jersey juniors to become more involved with the breed, has evolved into the ultimate platform to begin a Jersey herd. Throughout the 58-year history of the program, many youth have had consistent success in the production contest and have not only been rewarded with their prize money, but also with the steady growth of their herd. Adding value to their purchases through the high rate of progressive genetics has translated into outstanding foundations and marketing platforms to grow their herd from. Some participants, like Kyle Schirm, West Salem, Ohio, have built their entire herd almost exclusively from the Pot O’Gold. Schirm’s first purchase was at age nine through a partnership with his sister Kristin. The two invested in Topaz Avery Beretta Avetta, who went on to finish 12th in the contest. She gave them a heifer calf, a check for their investment and a solid pedigree to build from. With this, he was hooked, and has purchased every year since “Avetta” and plans on investing in another animal this year. His purchases have allowed him to not only develop a strong herd of diversified, strong genetics, but to share his accomplishments with other youth. He has been able to directly see the success of his investments through his offerings back to the Pot O’Gold sale. When selecting an animal, Kyle focuses on the pedigree of the heifer. This is a skill he acquired from years of Pot O’Gold participation and the nine animals he has purchased since 1999. His selection method has paid off as he has placed in the contest seven times. “No matter what animal you decide you want it’s going to be a great starter or addition to your herd,” said Schirm of his regular participation in the contest. “That’s why my parents allowed us to purchase most of our animals from the Pot O’Gold.” The opportunity to acquire excellent and genetically diverse animals is also the reason the Kortus Family, Lynden, Wash., has frequently purchased at the annual sale. As parents, Randy and Jana Kortus have made it a habit to only give advice when it is asked of them, letting their children Melissa, Matt and Michael make all their selections on their own. “Given the diversity of genetics and the opportunity to purchase such, this is a great contest for youth, and one of the better contests among all breeds,” said father Page 56

Randy Kortus. Since then, the family has seen their children’s names among the top ranks of the production contest. The Kortus’ started in the dairy arena as Holstein breeders, but after requests from their children to show Jerseys, they were in the market for a new breed. They found their welcome to the breed at the Pot O’Gold sale, seeing it as the perfect venue to buy elite Jersey genetics while simultaneously teaching their children the type of cow they were looking for, and the market value of such. Michael, 18, currently has 11 cows and 13 heifers, most of which were purchased through the sale. This year he and his 2007 purchase, Havs Iatola Topaz, captured first place in the contest. In 2008, he placed second with Schirm Rocket Vintage-ET and second in 2007 with Schirm Golden Marcy. On the other end of the spectrum, the Avila/Sherman family, Dalhart, Texas, have participated in the Pot O’Gold activities for the past two decades. Jennifer Sherman-Avila purchased in the sale as a youth and now her children are building a foundation herd of their own. When teaching their children, Sidney and Caitlin, to select animals the goal is simple: high production. So far so good. Last year, Caitlin placed second in the contest with her cow EF Abe Guacamole, moving up from a 19th place finish in 2007 with Jace B Diamond. Amy Maxwell, Donahue, Iowa, also began her herd with a Pot O’Gold purchase. “When I purchased my first animal, my dad and I looked through the catalog together and he taught me about what to look for and then we narrowed it down to three or four I was interested in,” said Amy. She now has 20 animals within the family herd that ranks nationally for production among their herd size. She also had a sixth place finish in the contest last year with Woodstock Futurity Heather-ET. Now Amy and her sister Kara, who placed 10th in last year’s contest, are dedicated to selecting animals that will maintain the high-quality average and have a long, productive life while producing offspring to grow her herd. Breeders from across the country with all different size herds and selection goals all find common cause and reward from their involvement in the Pot O’Gold sale and production contest. What can often begin as teaching mechanism to get their children involved, can turn into a herd of high-producing, quality animals that make excellent returns to an already solid investment. This year’s Pot O’Gold sale will be held Saturday, November 6, at 4:30 p.m. in Newmarket Hall, Louisville, Ky.

T h e Iager Scholarship for $1,000 is awarded annually to a second-year student in a twoyear agricultural school to pursue a career in the dair y industr y. It is based on Arlig academic standing, leadership ability, interest in the dairy industry and plans for the future. Casey is currently enrolled at SUNY Cobleskill and is majoring in dairy production and management. At SUNY Cobleskill, Casey is active in the dairy club where she served as the freshman chair for the annual Dairy Fashions Sale. She is a member of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society for outstanding academics. Casey’s love for dairying began at age eight, when a neighbor gave her a Jersey calf. Since then she has become very active in local and national dairy activities. She has competed in the National Holstein Dairy Jeopardy contest, New York State’s 4-H Judging Contest, and the New York State Junior Dairy Leaders Program. These activities have led her to the career path of a Dairy Extension agent. Her goal as an extension agent is to “be able to provide dairy farmers the learning tools they need to produce a high quality product with the consumer in mind, while staying cost efficient.” After completing her bachelor’s degree at SUNY Cobleskill, she will be applying to Cornell University for her master’s. This scholarship was started by a generous donation from the Charles and Judy Iager family of Fulton, Md.

South Mountain Voltage Spice-ET was the high seller of the Visions of Veronica Sale, purchased by Ben Sauder of Tremont, Ill., at the highprofie sale in July for $25,000.

Bringing the second high price of the day, $22,000, was Arethusa Action Dominique. The summer yearling was purchased by Canadian Jersey breeder Greg Mortson of Oro-Medonte, Ont.

Visions of Veronica Sale Exceeds $8,000 Average

he dairy industry has come to expect first-class from Arethusa Farm. After all, the owners of the farm, George Malkemus and Anthony Yurgaitis, are also president and vice president, respectively, of Manolo Blahnik USA. The pair has held the country’s sole license to sell the highend, ultra-feminine shoes made famous by the television show, “Sex and the City” since 1983. First-class was what Jersey breeders got at the Visions of Veronica sale held at the farm in Litchfield, Conn., on July 3, 2010. Arethusa Farm offered a small, elite group of individuals and they sold like crazy, with an average of $8,033.33 and gross of $192,800 on 24 lots. By day’s end, six head had been struck off for $10,000 or more and the event became the fourth high-averaging sale in breed history. The thread that ran through all of the lots that crossed the auction block that day was Huronia Centurion Veronica 20J, one of the most widely recognized names in the Jersey breed. Two-thirds of the consignments were graced with “Veronica” genes on the maternal side of their pedigrees, the rest with the her influence on the paternal side. “Veronica’s” name has been etched in history for her numerous tanbark titles, which include Supreme Champion of World Dairy Expo and National Grand Champion. Her daughters and granddaughters are following in her footsteps, as are daughters of her 15 sons in A.I. She has been a profitable cow for Arethusa Farm and for those who owned her prior to her residency at the show place in scenic western Connecticut in September 2004. Eight daughters or Page 58

WORLD DAIRY EXPO

Calvin Covington Named Guest of Honor

alvin Covington has been an industry leader in milk pricing and marketing. He was a driving force in the movement of changing the national milk pricing system from heavy emphasis on fluid, to the value of the components of fat and protein, which is utilized today. His tireless efforts were a big part of this dramatic change. Covington has been selected as the 2010 National Dairy Shrine (NDS) Guest of Honor. This award is one of the industry’s most prestigious and honors a contemporary dairy leader for outstanding accomplishments and contributions that benefit the dairy industry. He will be recognized at the NDS banquet in Madison, Wis., on September 30. Covington began his career at the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) in 1977 where he would work for the next 23 years. He started his Jersey vocation as an area representative in the Southeast and worked his way up to Executive Secretary and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) in 1993. In 2000, Calvin became the CEO of Southeast Milk Cooperative and was very successful in milk marketing at this position for 10 years. Southeast Milk Cooperative served 300 producer members in Florida, Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee. Calvin spent more than two decades barnstorming the U. S. to educate cheese makers about the yield and profitability advantages of using milk with high butterfat and protein content. Freshly graduated from North Carolina State University and newly hired by the AJCA and National All-Jersey Inc. (NAJ), his job was to spread the word about high solids milk. It was a colossal undertaking that was often done alone and never with a script; Covington learned and improvised as he went. Covington provided informed, determined, innovative and tireless leadership to NAJ’s grassroots effort to change the pricing of milk throughout the United States. Through his efforts, he exerted a positive influence upon the economic well-being of dairy producers and processors that has been far-reaching and will be long-lasting. It was a marathon of small individual steps that took him from coast to coast and from north to south … over and over

again. And, it was also a crucial task that laid a cornerstone for the multiple component pricing (MCP) structure that is now used in all Federal Milk Marketing Orders. Without it, the equity idea that has brought perhaps billions of dollars of additional income to the entire dairy industry might have never blossomed. Spreading the word was a daunting process borne out of desperate financial

Calvin Covington

times faced by dairies that made highsolids milk. During a gypsy-like period from the late 1970s through most of the 1980s, Covington wore many hats: educator, counselor, public relations advisor, author, speaker, lobbyist, salesman, and even tutor. But perhaps his most important role was that of showman, giving handson demonstrations to illustrate the yield power of high-solids milk. He did hundreds upon hundreds of them. Arranging for necessary milk supplies at his stops, he would make batches of cheese for plant managers using their own equipment, vividly illustrating the point that high-solids milk produced more finished product. Sometimes it was a LOT more. “I remember one plant where we increased the yield so much that the agitator paddles would not turn,” he recalled in a magazine article years later. “At another

plant the yield increased so much that they closed down an extra day per week.” And yet, even with those kind of eyepopping results staring them in the face, Covington’s presentations were often met with some version of, “Yes, I see, but…” NAJ’s Project Equity was built upon the idea that producer milk should be priced in direct relation to its economic value in the marketplace. Its objectives were to change Federal Order pricing to a system that priced milk based on its most valuable components in accordance with use in consumer products, and to encourage adoption of yield-based pricing systems by individual plants and cooperatives. Keep in mind that these were the days when the producer milk price incentive structure had fallen far out of touch with market demand. American consumers’ enthusiasm for Class 1 fluid milk was already in a long decline spiral, but total demand was more than being made up for by a voracious appetite for cheese in the form of pizza. Even so, producer milk pricing remained a dinosaur system that focused on volume, not solids. In fact, in many areas it was even still legal to add a small amount of water to farm bulk tanks. Mozzarella and cheddar were fast becoming kings of the dairy product world, but the milk supply fell miles short of serving their needs. Covington’s determined message was that with the right milk, many more pounds of cheese could be made using the same amount of time, labor, and equipment. That not only meant gigantic leaps in efficiency and profitability for cheese makers, but it also meant the right kind of milk was worth paying more for. Gradually, it was a message that began to sink in. It happened slowly at first as individual cheese plants adopted voluntary multiple component pricing programs for their shippers. Then it burst out in April 1988 when MCP was adopted in the Great Basin Federal Order. A checkerboard of other orders across the country followed suit throughout the 1990s, and MCP was finally adopted in all Federal Orders beginning January 1, 2000. Covington, of course, did not carry the MCP torch alone, nor did he start the pro(continued to page 70)

Buttles Named Progressive Dairy Producers

ational Dairy Shrine has named Ansires such as BW Carrier-ET, GJPI +85, drew and Lynette Buttles, Lancaster, Galaxies Celebrity-ET, GJPI +111, and Wis., as winners of the Progressive Dairy Griffens Governor-ET, GJPI +1. Producer award in the large herd division. Many of the most promising foundation The couple will be honored during the orcows trace to purchases from Lyon Jerseys, ganization’s annual banquet on September Toledo, Iowa. Included in this group are the 30, 2010, at World Dairy Expo. The Buttles own and operate StoneFront Farm, a fully-registered herd of 500 Holstein and 35 Jersey cows, in the southwestern part of the state. The couple and his parents, Elam and Barbara, farm 1,000 acres of tillable land and manage an additional 600 acres of permanent pasture. Baby calves and heifers are raised at Elam and Barbara’s place near Stitzer until they are close to calving and then returned to the dairy in Lancaster. Dairying has been a family occupation for five generations of the Buttles family and registered breeding has been carried out since 1913. The first four generations of the family milked cows in Waterford, near Milwaukee. They moved to their current location in May 1997, after Andrew graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and took over reins of cow management, and when urban sprawl made it a challenge to continue dairying. The move also brought Registered Jerseys into the Buttles’ lives. Some of the stalls in the family’s new freestall Andrew and Lynette Buttles and their children, Chrisbarn were too small for their Holsteins, tiana, in front, and Kayla, operate Stone-Front Farm but were perfectly suited to the smaller, with his parents, Elam and Barbara. more environmentally-friendly brown cow.

Half of the new barn is freestalls; the other half is bedded-pack for pre-fresh and special needs cows. A new manure system with a cement pit for 6-8 months storage was added, as were five bunkers for feed storage. The most recent facility improvement is a new machinery and hay storage building completed in 2009. Cow handling and cow comfort are paramount to attain the overall herd goal—high production. The family employs eight full-time and eight parttime employees and works with each to ensure the culture of the farm is embraced. Merchandising both Holsteins and Jerseys is also of importance to the Buttles’ bottom line. In the first half of the year alone, they have sold 15 head of Jerseys privately. The Buttles merchandise about 40 head of Holsteins each year and have sent a dozen Holstein bulls to A.I. Andrew and Lynette are also active off the farm. They lend a hand with the local 4-H club and volunteer at the dairy judging contests at World Dairy Expo each year. The farm hosted the Wisconsin Holstein Association summer picnic in 2008 and was a virtual farm tour for World Dairy Expo in 2009. Andrew and Lynette were named Distinguished Young Holstein Breeders by the Holstein Association in 2004. The Buttles attend Lancaster United Methodist Church. Andrew and Lynette were married in 2002 and have two children, Christiana, 3, and Kayla, six months. Andrew graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1996 with a bachelor’s degree in dairy science. Lynette grew up on a dairy farm in Pennsylvania and earned her bachelor’s degree in dairy science from Penn State. She also has a master’s degree in dairy nutrition from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

But his was the anchor leg of a race in which both dairy producers and cheese makers have clearly been big winners, measured by the millions of dollars of extra income and profit that MCP generates for producers each year, regardless of the kind of cows they milk. He was, as the saying goes, the right person for the right job at the right time. “If equitable milk pricing had only served Jersey breeders,” said Neal Smith, Covington’s successor as AJCA-NAJ Executive Secretary in a letter of support. “I do not believe that he could have been effective in promoting MCP. His desire was to see equity in milk pricing back to all producers so that the dairy industry would regain its health. Multiple component pricing was the clearest way to achieve that goal.”

Ropp Jersey Farm Hosts Illinois Picnic

Jersey breeders from the Land of Lincoln gathered for their picnic and parish show at Ropp Jersey Farm in Normal on July 3, 2010. Mother Nature was especially cooperative and bestowed Jersey enthusiasts with a beautiful day to enjoy a potluck lunch, fellowship and a little friendly competition in the show ring. Placing the six entries in the parish show was David W. Spahr, Findlay, Ohio. Bigtime Flicker of Naturas was tapped as Grand Champion and Jackknife Gold of Edgebrook was Junior Champion. “Flicker,” the winning four-year-old, is owned by picnic hosts, Ray and Ken Ropp, and was exhibited by Jersey junior, Sarah Pratt of Bloomington. “Gold,” the top intermediate heifer calf, is owned by Mike and Julie Hemp and Patty Dilly of Chebanse. Members enjoyed the day’s festivities under a big tent, which had been put up the prior evening for a Rotary International meeting at which Ray Ropp was installed as a district governor for the club. Ropp Jersey Cheese was a highlight of the lunch. The Ropp family has been making Jersey cheese since November

More than 40 flavors of cheddar are made, along with muenster, brick, ricotta, co-jack and pepper jack. All of the milk from the herd’s 65 cows is used to produce about 250 pounds of cheese every day. The dairy is enrolled on REAP and has contributed to Project Equity since 1989. Ropp Jersey Farm is operated by Ray and Carol Ropp and their son, Ken, and his wife, Becky, and their daughter, Leah. Ken’s sister, Karen, also lends a hand in the store on the farm and at farmer’s markets. Ray and Ken are the only father-son duo to be named winners of the National Youth Achievement Contest (Ray in 1960; Ken in 1991). The business has also opened the doors for other Illinois Jersey producers to begin merchandising Jersey dairy products. Included in this group are Kilgus Farmstead of Fairbury, which is now bottling milk on the farm and distributing All-Jersey milk in many of the same outlets, and Marcoot Jersey Creamery, Greenville, which produces All-Jersey milk, ice cream and artisan and farmstead cheeses.

With the new genomic evaluations have come several new listings in the Green Book. The listings are separate from traditional genetic evaluations because there is no meaningful way to compare the two. In this month’s Jersey Jargon, we’ll give you a complete list of the genetic evaluation listings that are available in the online Green Book at http://greenbook.usjersey. com. Most lists are available in PDF and Excel formats. Jersey breeders who are interested in learning more about changes that were implemented in the August 2010 genetic evaluations should visit the “What’s New” page of the Animal Improvement Program Laboratory’s website at www.aipl.arsusda. gov/News/News.htm. Female Genomic Evaluations Four reports that show the top females for genomic evaluations are published. Cows included on these lists must have a registry status of HR (no prefix), GR or PR, a genomic evaluation and calved within the past 27 months. There must not be a termination code associated with the current lactation. Ties are broken by Predicted Transmitting Ability (PTA) Protein. Heifers included on the lists must have a registry status of HR or GR and be no older than three years-of-age on August 1, 2010, and not have a GPTA based on lactation information. Genomic evaluations are calculated from one of three sources of information. The source is identified in the column labeled GT as follows: GT, cow or heifer was genotyped; GI, genotype for cow was imputed from genotypes of progeny, but the cow herself has not genotyped; and GA, evaluation includes information from genotypes or imputed genotypes of ancestors, but the cow or heifer herself is not genotyped. • Top 200 Jersey Females (Cows and Heifers) Ranked by Genomic JPI: This listing includes both cows and heifers with genomic evaluations and ranks them in descending Genomic Jersey Performance Index (GJPI) order. The qualifying GJPI minimum for the current (August 2010) listing is +115 GJPI. • Top Cows Ranked by Genomic JPI: This listing includes the breed’s top cows for GJPI. The list for August 2010 includes 219 cows with a minimum GJPI of +100. • Top 1½% Cows with GPTAs ranked by GJPI: This listing for August 2010 includes the top 276 cows for GJPI, with

a minimum GJPI of +95. • Top Heifer Rankings by Genomic JPI: This listing includes the top heifers for GJPI. Heifers are grouped by sire and then in descending GJPI. The 152 heifers on the current list (August 2010) have a minimum GJPI of +80. Female Traditional Evaluations Three reports identify the breed’s top cows and heifers based on traditional evaluations. Cows on the lists must have calved within the past 27 months and have at least one lactation of 100 days or more. Ties are broken by PTA Protein. Heifers included on the lists must have a registry status of HR or GR and be no older than three years-of-age on August 1, 2010. • Top 200 Cows Ranked by Traditional JPI: The minimum cut-off for cows on this listing for the current genetic evaluations is a JPI of +164. • Top 1½% Cows Ranked by Traditional JPI: This listing includes 1,842 cows with JPIs that exceed +127 for the August 2010 genetic evaluations. • Top 500 Heifers Ranked by Traditional PA JPI: This listing includes the top 500 heifers for Parent Average (PA) JPI. Heifers are grouped by sire and then in descending JPI. The minimum PA JPI for the current listing is a PA JPI of +142. Bull Genetic Evaluations Genomic evaluations have not given rise to new listings for Jersey bulls, but a few other recent changes are noteworthy. Jersey breeders will notice that the registry status

codes PR and GR will be used in the AJCA registration name and NAAB short name (males only) of animals recorded at the Provisional Register and Genetic Recovery levels, respectively. Jersey breeders will continue to find a variety of sire reports online as follows: • Active A.I. (Code A) Bulls: This listing includes production and type summaries for bulls that have been designated as Active (A) by the organizations that market Jersey semen. Bulls on this listing must also have Reliabilities of 70% or more for PTA Protein. Bulls listed are ranked in descending GJPI order. • All Bulls Marketed in the United States: A variety of reports are available for bulls designated as Active (A), Foreign (F) or Genomically-Tested without Daughters (G). Included in this group is a report that ranks A and F-coded bulls by a JPI that has been adjusted to a fluid or full-fat market; a report that ranks the top 10 bulls by for a variety of yield, type and fitness traits; and listings of NAAB codes and short names for A, F and G-coded bulls. • Top 100 Bulls (Historical List): This listing provides the breed’s top 100 bulls for JPI, including bulls that are no longer considered Active A.I. • Young Sires: A variety of reports are available for Jersey young sires. One report provides genetic information for young sires born after February 1, 2008, who have been assigned NAAB stud codes. Another report lists bulls born (continued to page 81)

HERD MANAGEMENT

Mycotoxins May be Eroding Your Bottom Line

ith the extreme weather that has plagued many parts of the country in recent years, Jersey producers have become all too familiar with mycotoxins—a by-product of moldy feed. Last year’s wet weather and late corn harvest in the Midwest were ideal conditions for the growth of mycotoxins. And the problem won’t go away completely when the last of the corn is emptied from the bin. Mycotoxins are a potential problem everywhere and thought to affect as much as 25% of the crops grown across the globe each year. Though ruminants are relatively tolerant of the adverse affects of mycotoxins, perhaps because of their ability to detoxify these agents in the rumen, the increased rumen passage rates of today’s highproducing cows overwhelms their ability to completely denature the toxins. The daily consumption of low levels of multiple mycotoxins can lead to suppressed immunity and chronic problems resulting from opportunistic diseases. Mycotoxins are a challenge to manage because their affect on the dairy cow is notoriously diff icult to diagnose. Symptoms are vague and non-specific and often mimic other diseases. As well, there are inherent problems in obtaining representative feed samples and interpreting test results. Multiple mycotoxins often exist in feedstuffs and little is known on their additive or synergistic effects. “We have no idea how many different mycotoxins exist,” said Dr. Lon W. Whitlow, professor emeritus in the department of animal science at North Carolina State University and respected resource in the area of mycotoxins. “Hundreds

of mycotoxins have been identified, but there are potentially thousands of them undiscovered.” Dairy producers should consider mycotoxins as a potential source for healthrelated issues of their herds, especially when no other answer seems to fit. An understanding of how mycotoxins are formed can help dairy producers prevent their formation in home-grown feeds and purchase clean feedstuffs that are not contaminated with mycotoxins. Symptoms Mycotoxin effects can be acute, but are more likely to be chronic, resulting from long-term, low-level exposure. Dairy herds that consume mycotoxins may suffer a loss in milk production. Fresh cows perform poorly and generally have increased incidence of disease, such as displaced abomasums, ketosis, retained placentas, metritis, mastitis and fatty livers. Mycotoxin affected cows often suffer from digestive disorders and intermittent diarrhea, which is sometimes accompanied by bloody or dark manure. Cows may appear unthrifty and have rough hair coats and an undernourished appearance. They may have increased abortions or embryonic mortalities, silent heats or irregular estrus cycles, and estrus in pregnant cows or suffer decreased conception rates. Postmortem examinations may indicate no more than gut irritation, edema or generalized tissue inflammation. Mycotoxin Formation Mycotoxins can be produced in the field before harvest or post-harvest. They

are associated with extremes in weather conditions and poor harvesting, storage and feeding practices. The molds Aspergillus, Fusarium and Penicillium produce the mycotoxins that are most detrimental to dairy cattle. Those of greatest concern include: aflatoxin, which is produced by Aspergillus mold; deoxynivalenol (DON), zearalenone (ZEA), T-2 toxin and fumonisin, which are produced by Fusarium molds; and ochratoxin and several Penicillium produced mycotoxins, such as PR toxin. While grains receive a lot of attention, by-product feeds, protein concentrates, finished feeds, oilseeds, wet grains, food wastes and forages may also contain mycotoxins. The most likely source is silage, such as whole-plant corn silage and haylage. Baled hay is less likely than silage to be contaminated with mycotoxins. Aflatoxin Aflatoxins are carcinogenic and the only mycotoxins to be regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The agency limits aflatoxin to no more than 20 parts per billion (ppb) in feeds for milking cows and 0.5 ppb in milk. As a r ule of thumb , afla t ox i n concentrations in milk equal about 1.7% of the concentration of the toxins in the total dry matter of the ration, and therefore an illegal milk residue will occur when the total mixed ration (TMR) contains about 30 ppb of aflatoxin (30 ppb x 1.7% = 0.51 ppb). Though aflatoxin can reduce performance and impair health, detrimental effects on production and health occur at far higher levels (100-200 ppb) than those that cause illegal milk residues. Aflatoxin is most likely to be found in corn, peanuts and cottonseed. Most of the aflatoxin in corn originates in the field, though it can form in stored grains. Aflatoxin favors high temperatures, even at night, and drought stress. Corn is susceptible through silks and stress conditions at the time of pollination. Growth conditions in the southern U.S. result in routine aflatoxin contamination, but the toxin can be found in corn raised in all parts of the country if conditions are favorable. Aflatoxin in cottonseed is a greater concern when grown in the southwestern part of the country than in the southeast. All improperly stored cottonseed is susceptible to contamination if mold activity is allowed.

DON, ZEA and Fumonisin The impact of DON, also commonly called vomitoxin, on dairy cattle has not been established. Clinical data, though, shows an association between DON and poor performance. This toxin may therefore serve as a marker for other mycotoxins or factors that are more toxic than DON itself. ZEA has a chemical structure similar to estrogen and can produce an estrogenic response in ruminants. Large doses are associated with abortions in cattle and may also cause vaginitis, vaginal secretions, poor reproductive performance and mammary gland enlargement of virgin heifers. Fumonisin may reduce feed consumption and thus lower production in dairy cattle. In a field study (Diaz et al. 2000), Holsteins and Jerseys fed diets with 100 ppm fumonisin for seven days before freshening and 70 days thereafter produced less milk per cow per day (6 kg.) than their peers with a clean diet. All of the mycotoxins produced by Fusarium molds proliferate pre-harvest and continue to grow postharvest, especially in stored grains with high kernel moisture content. Wet, rainy and humid weather at flowering promote infection by Fusarium. The results are ear rot in corn and scab in sorghum, barley, wheat, oats and rye. Mycotoxin Testing Dairy producers who suspect mycotoxins are affecting herd performance should first work with veterinarians and nutritionists to rule out other causes and then test feeds if the culprit has not been found. The accuracy of the test hinges on the accuracy of the feed sample. Most of the error—upwards of 90%—in analysis is due to collection of the initial sample. The second-largest source of error is due to inaccurate grinding and sub-sampling of the original sample. “Getting a good, representative sample is a challenge because molds grow in spots,” said Dr. Whitlow. “Testing for mycotoxins is not like testing for protein, where a handful of corn tests pretty much the same as a handful from another part of the bin. The presence of mycotoxins varies dramatically and will likely be different on the top, sides and bottom of the bin.” Recommended procedures for wet and dry feeds are shown in the table above. Sample the TMR or individual grain supplements and forages if fed conventionally. If mycotoxins are found in the TMR, test each ingredient separately. Once collected, samples should be

Sample Procedures for Dry and Wet Feeds Sampling Method for Dry Feeds 1. Take at least 8-12 samples at each of 3-5 feedings or removals from storage. 2. Mix sub-samples well, obtain 1 lb. composite, and store in a cool, dry place. 3. Combine at least 3-5 composites. Mix well and prepare 1 lb. sample for submission to laboratory. 4. Keep additional 1 lb. composite for possible confirmatory mycotoxin testing or other testing. Alternate Sampling Method for Dry Feeds 1. Take 12-20 stream samples from an entire delivery or 12-20 deep-probe samples from a bin, or sample cores of 12-20 different bales in a lot or mow of hay. Include probe or core samples from edges of bins or storage units where mold is more likely to occur. 2. Place dry sub-composites and final composite in a double thickness of either paper or cotton bags for storage and mailing. Store in a cool, dry place. 3. Take or ship to a laboratory for arrival Tuesday-Thursday. This prevents samples from sitting over the weekend. Avoid holiday arrivals. Sampling Method for Wet Feeds 1. Take 8-12 sub-samples of wet feeds at each of at least 3-5 feedings or removals from storage. 2. Mix sub-samples well, obtain 1 lb. composite. 3. Place composites in a thick plastic bag or double plastic bags. Pack composites tightly and force out excess air before sealing with a good closure tab. 4. Store samples in a freezer until a final composite is prepared. 5. Combine 1.5 lb. composites and mix well. 6. Prepare a final 2 lbs. composite for submission to laboratory. 7. Keep an additional 2 lbs. composite frozen for possible confirmatory mycotoxin testing or other testing. 8. Test a third composite for moisture at the farm or feed testing laboratory to determine dry matter content. 9. Store final composites in a freezer until submitted. 10. Ship wet samples in a frozen state, packed in a heavy insulated bag containing frozen ice packs. 11. Take or ship to a laboratory for arrival Tuesday-Thursday.

handled properly to prevent further mold growth and may be treated with a mold inhibitor. Consult several laboratories to determine what mycotoxins will be tested. A basic group for testing should include aflatoxin, DON, ZEA, fumonisin and T-2 toxin. If possible, have ochratoxin levels tested as well. Interpretation “A positive analysis reveals that mycotoxins are present, but there are no tried-and-true cut-offs for determining cautionary levels,” noted Dr. Whitlow. “You may have small amounts of some mycotoxins and have a huge problem, or you could have large amounts of some mycotoxins with no cow problems at all. Effects depend on interactions with other health and dietary factors including other mycotoxins that may be present but not tested. “Both the duration of feeding and animal stress levels are important.” The significance of the mycotoxin content of an individual feed in the diet depends on inclusion rate and amounts in other

ingredients in the ration. The synergistic effects of low levels of several mycotoxins together may be more problematic than a high level of a single mycotoxin. “That is why it is important to work with someone who has experience with mycotoxins,” Whitlow advised. “With the mycotoxin issues we had last year, there should be plenty of experience to go around.” Keep in mind that many laboratories report values on an as-received basis rather than a dry matter basis. As-received or as-fed values may be converted to a dry matter basis as follows: as-received value / dry matter percent as a decimal = dry matter. For example, a DON level of 1.0 ppm in corn silage containing 30% dry matter is equivalent to 3.33 ppm on a dry matter basis (1.0 ppm / .33 = 3.33 ppm). The two levels are markedly different in toxicity. Make sure too that it is clear how mycotoxin content is reported. Some laboratories report readings in ppb or ppm both ways with no apparent consistency. Preferably, (continued to page 78)

Mycotoxins (continued from page 77)

aflatoxin levels should be reported as ppb and other mycotoxins as ppm. To convert ppb to ppm, move the decimal point three places to the left. For example, DON at 1,200 ppb is 1.2 ppm. Guidelines for interpreting mycotoxin readings for levels of concern and potentially harmful levels are shown at right. Managing Mycotoxins Few dairy producers have the luxury of discarding all their feed and starting over with the discovery of mycotoxins, so managing the ration is the only way to overcome their effects. Heavily contaminated feed may need to be discarded. Avoid feeding any obviously molded feed. Contaminated feed may be diverted to beef cattle or dairy steers where less detrimental effects would be expected. Feed cleanest rations to animals under stress—transition cows, high-producing cows and young calves. Cleaning grain to remove the fines can reduce mycotoxins because dust and damaged kernels contain the highest levels. Heating or roasting of grains does little to reduce mycotoxins. Ammoniation of grains can destroy some mycotoxins, but there is no practical method for detoxifying forages.

Match silo size to herd size to ensure daily removal of silage at a rate faster than deterioration. During summer, about a foot of silage should be fed daily from the exposed feeding face. In winter, this may be reduced to about six inches. More densely packed silages deteriorate much slower during feedout. Close bags and oxygenlimiting silos between feedings. Feed fresh feeds daily or more frequently and keep in mind that smaller amounts fed frequently are more effective than a large amount fed once. Wet by-product feeds should also be fed quickly before molding can occur. If the ration heats in the feed bunk, consider adding an organic acid based mold inhibitor (such as acetic, propionic or sorbic acids) to the silage feeding face or TMR. Increase nutrients to boost the immune system. Supplement the ration with extra protein, energy and antioxidants such as selenium, vitamins A and E, and beta carotenes. Support the rumen and the digestive system with properly formulated rations, including buffers, probiotics and immune stimulants. Binding Agents The addition of binders or sequestering agents is another approach to reduce the toxicity of mycotoxins in feed. Adsorbent materials—silica-based inorganic com-

The concern level indicates possible favorable conditions for mycotoxins and probable need for further testing of all feeds or the TMR. Pending further tests, negative samples should be considered at concern levels in the presence of moderate symptoms and at harmful levels with marked symptoms. Mycotoxins at the potentially harmful level indicate probably involvement in performance effects or acute clinical symptoms. Air-dried refers to a dry matter range of 85-95% as normally found in most dry feedstuffs. TRDM = total ration dry matter. Source: Mold and Mycotoxin Problems in Livestock Feeding, R. Adams, K.

pounds (aluminosilicates, including bentonite clays and hydrated sodium calcium aluminosilicate), carbon-based organic polymers (activated carbons) and yeast cell walls (glucans and mannons)—reduce the bioavailability of the toxins. Promising research has also been done for enzymes, yeast and bacteria, which can degrade mycotoxins into non-toxic metabolites. Dairy producers should keep in mind that none of these materials have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the prevention or treatment of mycotoxicoses. As well, most research has been conducted in vitro (in a test tube) rather than in vivo (in an animal). And while in vitro methods may have potential for screening products, they are not always predictive of in vivo results. Companies that market these products have a difficult decision to make about pursuing FDA approval. “Many of the products currently shown to be effective at binding mycotoxins are commonly used feed additives” said Dr. Whitlow. “Therefore, companies seem to be concerned about the enormous cost of winning FDA approval, which may never be returned in product profits.” “In essence, aluminosilicate (clay) products bind mycotoxins,” noted Whitlow. “Yeast cell wall products also bind mycotoxins and stimulate immunity. Enzymes destroy mycotoxins, but are very specific. If you have a number of mycotoxins, the process to detoxify the feed using enzymes may require the use of multiple enzymes to act against the several types of possible mycotoxins. “Using a multiple treatment approach— adsorbants, immune stimulants, enzymes, antioxidants, nutrients, mold inhibitors and probiotics—may offer the best results in protecting dairy cows against what is often a nonspecific, multiple mycotoxin problem.” The most extensively studied silicate is hydrated sodium calcium aluminosilicate (HSCAS). Research shows that it is an excellent binder of aflatoxin and also binds with a number of other mycotoxins. Chemically-modified silicates may increase binding of aflatoxin, as well as ZEA. Sodium bentonite has been shown to reduce milk aflatoxin more than a similar amount of calcium bentonite. Activated charcoal has mixed results as a binder for aflatoxin, but results are mostly positive. Galvano et al. (1996) showed reduced aflatoxin residues in milk from cows consuming different sources of charcoal, but responses did not exceed those from a clay based binder (HSCAS). Conversely, Diaz et al. (2004) showed that low levels (45 grams per cow daily) of activated carbon did not significantly reduce milk aflatoxin

residues, whereas clay type binders (225 grams per cow daily) or an organic polymer of esterified glucan (10 grams per cow daily) significantly reduced milk aflatoxin. Activated charcoal may be important in binding DON, T-2 toxin and ZEA. Complex indigestible carbohydrate polymers from yeast cell walls have been shown to be effective in binding aflatoxin and restoring performance to animals consuming multiple mycotoxins that are generally Fusarium produced. For a review on feed additives used as mycotoxin-detoxifying agents submitted to the European Food Safety Agency,

including many currently available in the U.S., visit www.efsa.europa.eu/en/scdocs/ doc/22e.pdf. A listing of adsorbing agents, product names, targeted mycotoxins and associated studies begins on page 26 of that article and continues in a slightly different format on page 35. Prevention Key Until a magic pill is found, prevention of mycotoxins is the best policy since it is difficult to overcome problems once they begin. The control of drought and insect damage are most important in preventing mycotoxin (continued to page 80)

formation in the field. Select varieties that are adapted to the growing area and resistant to fungal disease and insect damage (Bt hybrids). Irrigate if necessary. Optimize soil fertility so plants are healthy and resistant to insect damage and disease. Plant and harvest in a timely manner Page 80

since mycotoxin formation increases with late season rain and cool conditions. Maintain harvesting equipment to prevent damage to grain kernels and avoid harvesting lodged or fallen material since it is likely to have contacted soil that harbors molds. Harvested grains should be stored at moisture levels no higher than 15% and closer to 13%. Consider drying grain as

the process allows for earlier harvest and reduced susceptibility to mold formation. Storage facilities should be completely cleaned prior to filling and prevent moisture migration, moisture condensation and leaks. Commodity sheds should be constructed with a vapor barrier in the floor and designed to protect feedstuffs from rain and other water sources. JERSEY JOURNAL

High moisture corn stored in bags should have a dry matter of 38-30%. The dry matter of the corn in an upright oxygen-limiting structure should be 25%. Add grain inoculants to speed up fermentation and stabilize wet corn. Shelling high moisture corn is recommended as mycotoxin levels may be highest in the cob. Harvest silage at the ideal moisture content and chop it uniformly at the proper length. Employ rapid fill, pack sufficiently and cover to eliminate air and water. Infiltration of oxygen after ensiling allows for the growth of acid-tolerant microorganisms and an increase in pH and mold growth. Consider the use of mold inhibitors (organic acids such as acetic and propionic acid) and fermentation enhancers (bacterial inoculants) at ensiling to retard mold growth before fermentation begins. Keep in mind that these products do not destroy mycotoxins already in the feed at the time of application. Organic acids may be used to treat the entire silage mass, or to selectively treat the outer layers of the silo. They can also be used during feedout to retreat the silo feeding face to reduce deterioration and heating in the feed bunk. Mold spore levels tend to be higher with no-till soil management. “In our part of the country where no-till is common, I advise clients to remove all residues from the fields in the fall so there is nothing left standing,” says James Huffard III, who operates Huffard Dairy Farm in Crockett, Va., and also advises dairy producers through his nutrition consulting company, Rationale Inc. “Run a bush hog through the field, rake it, and then bale the fodder for bedding.” Further Information There is a wealth of information on mycotoxins available on the internet. • http://www.extension.org/pages/Mold_ and_Mycotoxin_Issues_in_Dairy_Cattle:_Effects,_Prevention_and_Treatment (extension: L.W.

Letter To The Editor Remembering Char There is no way to adequately express our thanks and gratitude for the overwhelming gifts given by so many to the Charlene Nardone National Jersey Queen fund in memory of our beloved Char and Grand Char. In a recent article in the Jersey Journal, we noted that the Jersey Jug was mentioned as the “most glamorous promotional event for dairy cattle in the world—an event that has been imitated but never equalled.” We feel that way about Charlene. She was glamorous— and never equalled. We are touched by your thoughtfulness and generosity. Speaking in Charlene’s behalf, we know how humbled and proud she would be. Thank you. David A. Nardone and Family Hillsboro, Ore.

More Gifts Received for Cavanaugh, Nardone Funds

Cash gifts from eight Jersey breeders were received from June 1 through July 15 for the J.F. Cavanaugh Fund of the AJCC Research Foundation and the Charlene Nardone National Jersey Queen Fund. A total of 50 gifts have been received for the year to date. The J. F. Cavanaugh Fund was created in 1985 to honor Jim Cavanaugh upon his retirement after 29 years service as Executive Secretary of the Jersey organizations. The Foundation was established in 1967 under his leadership, and he directed capital fundraising for the endowment in his retirement. Contributions were made by David and Dana Chamberlain, Wyoming, N.Y.; Russell G. Gammon, Guelph, Ontario; Highland Farms, Inc., Cornish, Maine; Carl Kirchdoerfer, Cape Girardeau, Mo.; Joe Knolle and Linda Early, M.D., Sandia,

Texas; G. Joe and Norma Lyon, Toledo, Iowa; and Vernon and Mary Wickstrom, Hilmar, Calif. Contributions to the Charlene Nardone National Jersey Queen Fund were received from G. Joe and Norma Lyon, Toledo, Iowa; and James Pappas, Modesto, Calif. Charlene Nardone worked in many positions for the association during her 47-year career, the one dearest to her heart being the f irst “Queen” of the National Jersey Jug Futurity. Working with hundreds of Jersey breeders serving on the Futurity committees, she helped shape the Jersey Jug into the most glamorous promotional event for dairy cattle in the world.

Expo’s 2010 Virtual Farm Tours to Feature Ohio’s Clover Patch Dairy

Clover Patch, a Registered Jersey™ dairy owned by Alan and Sharon Kozak of Millersburg, Ohio, will be one of eight North American dairy operations to be featured in World Dairy Expo’s 2010 Virtual Farm Tour program. The video tour, which will be narrated by Alan Kozak, will start at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, September 29 in the Mendota 1 meeting room in the Exhibition Hall at the Alliant Energy Center, Madison, Wis. The American Jersey Cattle Association is the program sponsor. Achieving long-term financial security and providing a high quality of life for family and employees has been Alan and Sharon Kozak’s main focus in operating a successful dairy. Every aspect of their business reflects their attitude of working with what you have, thoroughly planning, carefully executing, and persevering in the face of setbacks. Alan and Sharon started in the dairy business in 1991 by renting dairy facilities and focusing on ownership efforts on cattle. While working on budgets and planning, they figured managementintensive grazing was their best route to long-term success. They decided to go with Registered Jersey™ cattle because of their adaptability and high fertility. In addition, their smaller body size made them the only breed able to fit in the existing facilities and stalls. Today, the herd of 900 animals—430 in milk—is managed on a 450-acre farm outside Millersburg. The July rolling herd average was 17,816 lbs. milk, 843 lbs. fat and 668 lbs. protein per cow. The herd ranks in the top 25% of Jersey herds ranked by herd average Jersey Performance Index™. Since 2002, with superior calf management, a stringent Johne’s disease program and the use of sexed semen, Clover Patch has achieved tremendous internal herd growth which allows them to sell excess replacements. In addition, they have have made numerous improvements to farmland and water conservation. In late June of 2009, Clover Patch hosted the joint field day of the Ohio Forage Growers Council, Small Farm Institute and World Jersey Cattle Bureau. Alan Kozak currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Dairy Policy Action Coalition (DPAC), the Advisory Committee to the State Veterinarian of Ohio, and the North Central Ohio Dairy Grazing Council. He is also a pastpresident of the Ohio Forage & Grassland Page 84

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, par ticularly 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 requested from Cari W.

JERSEY JOURNAL

Appraisal Traits for Active A.I. Bulls Ranked By GJPI calculation and are weighted by their relative economic value in increasing net income.

Recovery were amended allowing selective recording of males whose pedigrees qualify them for registry status as PR and GR, and then for continued recording of their progeny. A male at PR level will only be recorded after parentage qualification and genomic testing and when his OA dam is genomically tested and qualified as at least 75% Jersey by approved methods. Males qualified for GR Registry status and not used for artificial insemination (A.I.) must be parentage qualified by an AJCA-approved method. For bulls used for A.I. purposes, GR registry status will be assigned only after a male is both parentage qualified and genomically tested using approved methods. For more information, contact AJCA Herd Services.

Note Regarding Registry Status Registry status codes PR and GR are an integral part of the AJCA registration name and NAAB short name (males only) for those animals recorded at the Provisional Register (PR) and Genetic Recovery (GR) levels, respectively. When animals are recorded in the AJCA Herd Register, the registry status code of HR is not included in the registration name.

Top 200 Cows for Jersey Performance Index (Traditional), August 2010 The top 200 cows ranked by traditionally calculated Jersey Premformance IndexTM (JPI) from the August 2010 USDA-AJCA genetic evaluations are listed below. These cows have not been genomically tested and do not have a genomic evaluation (GPTA). These cows must have calved within the past 27 months and have at least one lactation of 100 days or more. Cows lacking linear appraisal information are included in the JPI ranking by using a Parent Average estimate for FTI, provided the cow was under four years of age on August 1, 2010. Cows without their own appraisal Name Registration owner state CN Rec Rel Milk

information used in the JPI calculation are distinguished by a “0” in the number of type records (REC) column. JPI combines production and type trait information into a single economic index, includes six factors with weighted averages of 42% PTA Protein, 15% PTA Fat, 15% FTI, 12% PTA PL, 10% PTA DPR, and 6% PTA SCS. The cows average +1,163M, +58F, +45P and JPI +177 with average Reliability of 53.7%. Lifetime Net Merit indexes are Cheese Merit +$479; Net Merit +$435, and Fluid Merit +$405.

Top 200 Females with Genomic Evaluations by GJPI, August 2010 The top 200 Jersey females—cows and heifers—with genomic evaluations are ranked by Jersey Performance Index™ (GJPI), below. Cows must (1) have registry status of HR (no prefix), GR or PR; (2) have a genomic evaluation; (3) have calved within the past 27 months; and (4) not have a termination code associated with the current lactation. Heifers must (1) have registry status of HR or GR, (2) be no older than three years-of-age on August 1, 2010, and (3) not have a GPTA based on lactation information.

Genomic evaluations are calculated from one of three sources of information. The source is identified in the column labeled GT as follows: GT, cow/heifer was genotyped; GI, genotype for cow was imputed from genotypes of progeny, but the cow is not genotyped; and GA, evaluation includes information from genotypes or imputed genotypes of ancestors, but cow/heifer is not genotyped. Genomic evaluations cannot be directly compared to traditionally calculated PTAs.

In Memoriam David P. Dickson David P. Dickson, Madison, Wis., 71, passed away on July 9, 2010, after a courageous battle against cancer. Dickson was one of the foremost authorities on dairy cattle judging. He judged more shows than any other official—13 in all—at World Dairy Expo. He placed dairy cattle in more than 20 countries across the globe and served on the All American selection committees for all seven recognized dairy breeds. He was born on February 26, 1939, in Everson, Wash., the eldest of six children born to Paul and Elsie Dickson. He graduated from Meridian High School as class valedictorian and earned a bachelor’s degree in dairy science from Washington State University. In 1960, he became the second person (a feat that was later matched by one other person) in the U.S. to earn high individual honors at both the National 4-H Dairy Cattle Judging Contest and the Intercollegiate Dairy Cattle Judging Contest. It was that second honor—high individual at the college contest—that earned him the National Dairy Shrine Kildee Scholarship. Dickson used that money to further his dairy education at the University of Wisconsin (UW)-Madison, where he earned his master’s and doctorate degrees. Dickson joined the Dairy Department at the UW-Madison upon graduation and served as professor for more than three decades. He chaired the department from 1984-1990. He was founding advisor to the UWMadison Badger Dairy Club and led the university’s dairy judging team to seven national championships beginning in 1968. Under his tutelage, UW-Madison teams captured 18 oral reasons titles at the National Intercollegiate Dairy Cattle Judging Contest. Dickson served as advisor to the Midwest and National student affiliate divisions of the American Dairy Science Association and received the association’s Purina Mills Teaching Award in 1996. He was the kickoff inspirational speaker at the National 4-H Dairy Conference for 10 consecutive years. Dickson was a long-time chapter adFor milk or show, Senn-Sational is the way to go!
