Take the Road to the Rose City in 2010 Portland, Oregon will be the site of the fifty-second Annual Meeting of National All-Jersey Inc. on June 25, followed by the 142nd Annual Meeting of the American Jersey Cattle Association on June 26. Oregon’s Jersey breeders have hosted the meetings twice before (in 1980 and 1996), giving the rest of us opportunities to see the natural wonders of the Pacific Northwest region and its outstanding Jersey herds along with engaging colleagues and industry leaders in stimulating discussions on matters pertaining to the Jersey business. 2010 will more than measure up to the memorable 1980 and 1996 conventions, by the looks of the program outlined on pages 58 and 59 and the profiles of more than 35 different Jersey operations published in this issue. Oregon has been fertile ground for the Jersey business for well over a century. Oregon and Washington were the seedbeds of the All-Jersey® program in the late 1940s. Over the years, six Oregon Jersey breeders have served as directors of National All-Jersey Inc., bringing historical context as well as innovative thinking to that board. Oregon is home to one of the great and continuing success stories in the dairy business: Tillamook Cheese. Oregon has become a hotbed of activity in artisan cheese over the past 10 years, so much so that the Oregon Cheese Guild was created in 2006 to support education, development and policymaking for the industry. Oregon is home to artisanal producers who have brought attention to Jersey milk by winning top awards at the annual American Cheese Society judging. The state is dotted with farmers’ markets and festivals that are re-establishing the connection between producers and consumers, at the same time offering exciting venues for marketing Jersey-branded products. As has been the case since the early 1900s, Oregon is a force in Jersey breed improvement and promotion. A dozen Oregon breeders have been elected to and served with distinction on the AJCA Board of Directors. Three Oregon herds ranked on the Top 10 lists for fat, protein or milk yield in 2009, with 10 more recognized in the March Journal review of the highest producing herds in the country. Eighteen (18) of the 51 top A.I. proven bulls on the April 2010 USDA-AJCA summary were bred in Oregon, coming from six different operations. Forty-five (45) of the top 200 females (cows and heifers) ranked by genomic Jersey Performance IndexTM reside in Oregon, as do 44 of the top 200 cows ranked by traditional JPITM. May 2010
Thematically, our meetings this year will be dominated by marketing and improving markets for Jersey milk, and by developments in genomics. We are in year 2 of genomic evaluations. Advances have been rolled out quickly, and as the changes introduced in April showed, sometimes ahead of our ability to grasp what this information means and how to use it. Nevertheless, your elected leadership and staff are absolutely certain that we must fully embrace genomic testing and genomic evaluations if the AJCA is to continue and succeed in its mission to improve the profitability of the Jersey breed and expand its numbers in the U.S. To that end, the annual meeting program will begin Wednesday, June 23 with an expert panel that will take your questions on genomics with an eye on how genomic technology will be beneficial for all Jersey owners. The program will be broadcast by webinar for those who can’t be in Portland, and you can submit questions for the panel now. On Thursday morning, Kent Weigel of the University of Wisconsin–Madison will preview his work to develop genomic tools for JerseyMateTM with financial support coming from the AJCC Research Foundation. And that is just the beginning of an activity-packed fourday schedule. The youth program will include hands-on labs plus a behind-the-scene look at the coolest product promotion since Elsie’s Cowdillac and the Wienermobile—the Tillamook Loaf Love Tour. The TalkJersey contest continues with its added division for recorded presentations. The tours represent Oregon’s great attractions, from the Portland Rose Garden offering a spectacular view of Mount Hood, to Cape Kiwanda on the Three Capes Scenic Route along the Pacific coast, to Oregon State University as well as herds in Tillamook County and the Willamette Valley. The benefit auction for the AJCC Research Foundation will conclude the first tour day. Cow Pie Bingo returns for a second year with proceeds benefiting Jersey Youth Academy. Our 2010 meetings will wrap up the evening of June 26 with the National Heifer Sale, for 53 years the primary source of funding for the national Jersey youth development program. The Bansen family will be our hosts at Forest Glen Oaks dairy. The Jersey breeders in Oregon are ready to welcome you warmly and will move heaven and earth to make sure that you have the time of your life visiting their great state. Mail your registration now.

AJCA MASTER BREEDER
Donald S. and Elsa Sherman
D
onald S. and Elsa Sherman of D&E Jerseys, Hilmar, Calif., are the recipients of the Master Breeder Award of the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA), which will be presented on Friday, June 25, 2010, during the Jersey Breeders Banquet in Portland, Ore. The Master Breeder award is bestowed annually to a living AJCA member, family, partnership or corporation that, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, has bred outstanding animals for many years and thereby made a notable contribution to the advancement of the Jersey breed in the United States. This year’s Master Breeder has shown a long commitment to the ability to evaluate cattle and breed them to accentuate their strengths and weaknesses through use of various scientific breeding tools in combination with good dairy sense. They are scholars of the breed and have made genetics a passion they enjoy sharing with others. “The Shermans have worked their entire lives breeding the kind of Jerseys that will improve not only the breed, but also the lives of those who depend on them,” said Benny Rector, Hilmar, Calif., on behalf of the California Jersey Breeders Association in a nomination letter. Donald “Donnie” and Elsa Sherman have an extensive and proven history of developing animals that make positive impacts on the Jersey breed. For more than three decades they have supported the Jersey breed and Jersey associations through consignments of their best animals to local, regional and national sales, providing animals from their solid breeding program to Jersey herds throughout the country. “No matter what sale he consigns to, I know as a buyer that his animal will be one of the best genetically,” said David Allen, All-Lynn Jerseys, Reedsburg, Wis. Not only have Donnie and Elsa bred exceptional individual animals, they have bred two outstanding herds of cattle. Their original herd, started in 1978 after Donnie was discharged from the United States Marine Corps, is located in Hilmar at D&E Jerseys. This herd consists of 620 cows
and replacement heifers and has an AJCA herd PTA average of +304M, +11F, +10P, +85NM$. The D&E herd also has a JPI of +33, ranking 18th in the country for herds with more than 300 cows. The second herd owned by the Sherman family is Avi-Lanche Jerseys, Dalhart, Texas. It is a partnership with their daughter and son-in-law, Jennifer and Richard Avila. This larger scale herd consists of 2,400 cows with an equal number of replacements. This herd has an AJCA Herd PTA average of +245M, +6F, +7P, +36NM$ and a JPI of +17. Both of the herds are 100% Registered, enrolled on REAP, contribute to Equity and use JerseyTags for identification and Jersey Mate for sire selection options. Breeding great cows means using the best bulls available. This is evident as in April 2010, two of the cows on the Top 200 list hail from D&E Jerseys. In addition to their nationally recognized herd, seven of the top 15 “G” tested young bulls are a product of D&E dams, something fellow Jersey breeder Herby Lutz, Her-Man Jerseys, Chester, S.C., called “truly a remarkable feat in these fast paced changing times.”
These lists only foreshadow the great work done by the Shermans, including some very influential cow families and bulls. The first animal to show this trend was D&E Duncans Bell, a bull developed from a D&E cow and Highland Magic Duncan, which was a bull that was acquired by Jerseyland Sires largely due to Donnie. D&E Duncans Bell was one of the outstanding bulls of his time to combine type and production traits. Of all the animals and cow families bred by D&E Jerseys that have shown impact, the most significant might be D&E Abe Violet and her descendants. Dating back half a century, the “Violet” family has been bred by the Shermans for more than 14 generations. “Abe Violet” has a GJPI of +144 and is scored Excellent-90%. These solid genetics were passed on to her three daughters and four sons. Of the four male offspring, three have January 2010 GJPIs averaging +240, and all are either in A.I. or waiting to enter. D&E Paramount Violet, a daughter of “Abe Violet” now owned by David Allen, currently has 11 sons with GJPI averages of +273 and one daughter with a GJPI of +305, the daughter being a member of the D&E herd. In addition, six of the top 10 GJPI young sires that do not yet have milking daughters are sons of “Paramount Violet.” Donnie has always had an eye for selecting great cattle to breed from, as evidenced by the many families he has purchased. One of the Sherman’s earliest acquisitions that allowed for development was Molly Brook General Bella-P, a cow they bought in partnership with Phil Fanelli, Hilmar, Calif. This line was bred forward three generations to put D&E Henry-P into A.I. “Henry-P” is one of the best production-bred bulls in recent history. The next major impact animal purchased was Clover Farms Berretta Kelsey-ET, an Excellent-92% cow that produced 34 offspring, seven of those being scored Excellent. Among the six sons of “Kelsey” were two well-known bulls: Keeper of D&E and D&E Avery Kody. These two bulls combined have sired a notable 5,030 (continued to page 25)
DISTINGUISHED SERVICE AWARD
Paul Chittenden
P
aul Chittenden, Schodack L a n d i n g , N . Y. , w i l l b e honored as the 60 th recipient of the Distinguished Service Award presented by the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA). The Distinguished Ser vice Award is presented by the Board of Directors to as many living AJCA members and/or members’ families, who, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, have rendered outstanding and unselfish service for many years and thereby made a notable contribution to the advancement of the Jersey breed in the United States. Formal presentation of the award will be made on June 25 at the Jersey Breeders’ Banquet held during the 2010 Annual Meetings of the AJCA and National All Jersey Inc. (NAJ) in Portland, Ore. Some individuals are destined to serve, having been born into families in which the act is a birthright of sorts. In Jersey circles, the family name Chittenden is nearly synonymous with service. It was this heritage into which second-generation Jersey breeder Paul Chittenden was born and a legacy he ultimately honored. “The word ‘no’ seldom arises when it comes to Paul and Jerseys,” wrote Rebecca Ferry, Johnstown, N.Y., secretary of the New York Jersey Cattle Association, in her letter supporting his nomination for the award. “Whether chairing a committee, filling an elected position, hosting a sale or tour, or housing a bull to get New England Jersey Sires off the ground, his answer is always, ‘Yes.’” Chittenden is the eldest of four children born to Jane and the late Stanley Chittenden of New Lebanon, N.Y. The Chittendens operated Fair Weather Farms, a highly-regarded Registered Jersey herd in Columbia County near the Massachusetts border. Paul worked at the family farm right out of school and then established his own Dutch Hollow Farm in 1976 with his wife, Melanie, in Schodack Landing close to the farm on which he grew up. It was no small feat for Paul to follow his father’s lead as the family patriarch had set the bar high. Among many other deeds, Stanley Chittenden served as director and president of the American Jersey Cattle
Club (AJCC)— the predecessor of the AJCA—and was a member of the board that approved the incorporation of NAJ in 1957. He was honored with the national Jersey organization’s Distinguished Service Award in 1971 and its Master Breeder award in 1983. Like all of his siblings, Paul showed an affinity for Jerseys early in life. He began showing cattle at the county fair by the time he was five years old and then moved on to stiffer competition at the state, regional and national level, including The All American Junior Jersey Show by 1958. Most often, he was at the halter of an animal of his own breeding. The value Chittenden places on this accomplishment is attested today by the fact that Dutch Hollow Farms sponsors the Best Bred and Owned award at The All American Junior Jersey Show and features photographs of winners in its Jersey Journal advertisements in January. Chittenden wrapped up his junior career by placing sixth in the National Jersey Youth Achievement Contest in 1964 and 1965 and traveling to Japan to care for a group of Jerseys that were part of an AJCC exhibition
at the International Livestock Show in the spring of 1965. Paul and Melanie were named AJCC Young Jersey Breeders in 1979. From his teenage years, he has been involved with the New England Spring Jersey Sale, getting his feet wet first as a fitter and working his way up to sale chair. His astute knowledge of pedigrees made him a natural choice in boxes at sales sponsored by the New England and New York Jersey cattle associations. Chittenden was an early advocate of dairy character, strength and functional type—traits he has effectively bred into the herd at Dutch Hollow Farm. His keen eye for cattle has taken him on judging assignments in 18 states and internationally to Australia and South Africa. He was the official at the junior show at The All American in 1988 and judged the open show in 1990. Chittenden was associate judge for the National Jersey Jug Futurity in 1996. Chittenden’s involvement in breed activities has almost always led to leadership responsibilities. He served every elected position of the Capital District Jersey Club, was director and president of the New York Jersey Cattle Club, was the breed representative on the livestock committee of the Eastern States Exposition and is a charter member of New England Jersey Sires Inc. For his service to the New England Jersey Breeders Association, Chittenden earned three of the organization’s major awards—the Good Neighbor Award, the Distinguished Service Award and the Outstanding Jersey Breeder Award. Chittenden was the dairy and livestock superintendent of the Columbia County Fair for 28 years and sat on the fair board for two decades. The fair currently has the highest livestock premiums in the state, including those paid by the state fair, in part because Paul explained to the board the importance of agricultural exhibitors and the value of them exhibiting superior cattle to the fair-going public. Chittenden was a 4-H leader for 38 years and coached the county dairy judging team (continued to page 24)
AWARD FOR MERITORIOUS SERVICE
Dr. Joseph A. Lineweaver
D
r. Joseph A. Lineweaver, Radford, Va., has been named as the 13th recipient of the Award for Meritorious Service, presented by the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) and National All-Jersey Inc. (NAJ). This award is given annually to a living individual who, in the joint opinion of the Boards of Directors of the national Jersey organizations, has made a notable contribution to the advancement of the Jersey breed and the livelihood of Jersey owners in the United States through research, education, development, marketing, or other significant activities of the allied dairy industry. The presentation will be made on June 25 at the Jersey Breeders’ Banquet held during the 2010 AJCA-NAJ Annual Meetings in Portland, Ore. Dr. Lineweaver has helped to advance the Jersey breed and improve the profitability of individual herd owners through his groundbreaking work with embryo transfer. This educator-turned-entrepreneur has also been an effective leader for the AJCA and bred Registered Jerseys that have impacted the breed. “Dr. Lineweaver was a pioneer in bringing embryo transfer forward from an experimental activity at veterinary colleges to its present status as a viable option for dairy herd owners to use profitably in the rapid genetic improvement of their herds,” wrote Bearl “Smokey” Seals, Sun Valley Jerseys, Cloverdale, Ore., who sat on the AJCA Board of Directors with Dr. Lineweaver and preceded him as the organization’s vice president. His scientific knowledge and practical understanding of herd management challenges, coupled with youthful enthusiasm and single-minded determination, made Dr. Lineweaver a respected leader for the breed, first as director and then vice president of the AJCA. “He approached all issues coming before the Board with the best interest of the entire breed as his focus,” noted Herby Lutz, Sunny Day Farm, a fellow Jersey breeder from Chester, S.C., who first worked with Lineweaver as a client in his embryo transfer business and then as the manager of Jersey Marketing Service (JMS).
“His diplomacy as a true ‘Southern Gentleman’ enabled him to encourage broad-based discussion of all agenda items, including the scientific insights he provided on technical matters, on the way to reaching consensus decisions that all board members could feel comfortable supporting.” Dr. Lineweaver grew up on a general farm in central Virginia. He graduated from Virginia Tech with a bachelor’s degree in dairy science and a master’s degree in genetics. He earned a Ph.D. in reproductive physiology from Washington State University in 1968 and returned to Virginia Tech in 1973. His responsibilities at Virginia Tech included teaching, research and extension. During his 14 years with the university, he authored or co-authored more than 125 papers in scientific journals and popular magazines and presented hundreds of seminars to local and national audiences. When embryo transfer technology began to emerge in the late 1960s, Dr. Lineweaver recognized it’s potential and actively pursued training. He established Blue Ridge Embryos in 1980 and left Virginia Tech to focus full-time on bringing the technology
to dairy farms across the southeast. “As an early leader in this field, he literally ‘wrote the book’ on certification standards for practitioners of this profession and served in many leadership positions with the American Embryo Transfer Association (AETA),” noted Larry Schirm, a sire analyst for ABS Global from Laurelville, Ohio. Dr. Lineweaver served the AETA as president and vice president and chaired the breed liaison committee, which led the development of the standardized reporting form that all breed associations would eventually adopt for registration of ET calves. He also chaired the organization’s professional review committee and sat on the certification committee. “From the outset of his involvement with embryo transfer, Dr. Lineweaver maintained detailed and meticulous records of every donor dam that came under his direction, building a unique database of patterns and individual animal idiosyncrasies that are a part of effective flushing,” noted Dr. John C. Wilk, Raleigh, N.C., a fellow educator from North Carolina State University who also received the Meritorious Service Award in 2007. Dr. Lineweaver’s clientele included dairy and beef breeders, with a significant portion of his work coming from some of the top Jersey herds in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. “It was under his guidance and expertise as our embryo transfer specialist that we were able to effectively merchandise numerous progeny of our early impact cows and others that were purchased to build the foundation for the herd,” Lutz explained. One of these success stories at Sunny Day Farm was Sunny Day Yankee Becky, the first Jersey to produce four consecutive lactations over 30,000 lbs. milk. She was flushed during each of the lactations, including her record-setting lactation, and then subsequently as a permanent dry cow. “Becky” has more than 50 registered ET progeny to date, not including exported embryos, and Lutz merchandised from her heavily. “It was Dr. Lineweaver’s expertise in this field that provided such a business opportunity for us, just as he did for many other (continued to page 27)
IN MEMORIAM
J. F. Cavanugh, Executive Secretary (1956–1985)
J
ames Francis Cavanaugh, Executive Secretary of The American Jersey Cattle Club (AJCC) from 1956 to 1985 and the founding Executive Secretary of National All-Jersey Inc. (NAJ), died April 6, 2010, eight days shy of reaching his 93rd birthday. Born April 14, 1917, to a Kansas dairy and wheat farm family, Jim Cavanaugh worked with people equally well on the concrete floor of a holding pen or the carpeted floor of a CEO’s office. His career coincided with the turbulent introduction of U.S. milk marketing orders, changes in milk utilization and advances in cattle breeding, all affecting the commercial viability of Jersey operations. Working with 14 different men elected to the office of president of the AJCC and/or NAJ, and 92 others serving as directors, he led the crusade to make the Jersey breed more profitable through better marketing of cows and milk and by increasing production. Cavanaugh’s character was tenacious and creative. He spoke and wrote with ease and clarity. And he had an uncommon knack for prodding people towards progressive change. He recognized talent, identified and used experts in every field, and employed good people for the Jersey staff. He gave them responsibility to manage departments and projects, thus freeing his time to “sell the philosophy of the program to everyone in the breed and to inspire them to ‘join the team.’” Named Assistant Secretary on December 1, 1947, Cavanaugh worked in the trenches at the AJCC, heading the Milk Department and supervising the type classification program. He helped create the Jersey Journal and served as acting editor for its launch in October of 1953. Once a permanent editor was hired in 1954, Cavanaugh remained on the magazine masthead as associate editor until November 1956. He never stopped writing for the Journal throughout his career. He was named AJCC Executive Secretary on October 20, 1956, three weeks following the death of Floyd Johnston Page 22
in an automobile accident. In his first report to the directors on December 2, Cavanaugh broke with the bureaucratic reporting of work processed typical of his predecessors for over 25 years, instead proposing a strategic plan and modern management for the oldest dairy registry organization in the U.S. Too much time, effort and money, he said, had been focused on insignificant changes in existing programs, having “little bearing upon the efficiency and profitableness of the Jersey cow. There are three major projects that need our attention,” Cavanaugh asserted. “Sell the dairy industry on the value of Jersey milk. Promote the efficiency of the Jersey cow. Increase the production average of Jerseys. “The Jersey is the most efficient of all dairy animals,” he continued. “The net profit of Jerseys under fair marketing conditions is a matter of record. We need to dramatize the efficiency of Jerseys and her quality milk … We have a natural advantage if we should properly promote these advantages. Nevertheless, how much easier it would be to promote the efficiency of the Jersey cow, if we could point to the Jersey breed as the highest producing breed in this country.” This, then, was the program that guided him for the next 29 years. He was convinced that “if we did these certain things, we were going to succeed.” At the 1957 Annual Meeting, Cavanaugh began his untiring efforts to enlist breeder support. “May I encourage every member to concentrate on our challenge and our program so that we are all working together on the projects that will make the Jersey cow more profitable and make you, her owners, a better living.” In the end, the products of this program were nothing short of remarkable. Cavanaugh’s efforts to expand and improve markets for Jersey milk were hallmarks of his career. He pioneered national expansion of the All-Jersey® milk program. As fluid milk markets for Jersey milk were lost, new opportunities were located. By 1976 the Equity Project was implemented by the NAJ Board, and NAJfunded research established the cheese yield advantages of Jersey milk. Equity returned untold millions to Jersey milk producers and set the stage for implementation of multiple component pricing with Federal
Order reform on January 1, 2000. Breed improvement programs developed under Cavanaugh’s leadership made the Jersey cow competitive and increasingly more profitable. Foremost among these was the AJCC’s adoption of the USDA Sire Summary in 1967. The Club was the first registry organization to designate the summary as its official sire rating program. Cavanaugh was a force in developing objective, analytical type evaluation programs, culminating in the 1980 implementation of a uniform multiple-breed linear appraisal system. These programs not only paved the way for rapid breed improvement, they also established the Jersey leadership as an influencer in program development at the industry level. Breed expansion was served by the creation of Jersey Marketing Service (JMS). At f irst, JMS moved excess replacements from areas like the northeast U.S. to All-Jersey® milk producers in the southeast. It improved the professionalism of cattle marketing by setting stringent health protocols and providing pedigree and management information to buyers. In 1971, JMS took over management of the National Heifer Sale and later the other premier national sales, The All American and Pot O’Gold. Equally important for breed growth was Genetic Recovery, which broke the mold of traditional registration by bringing superior unregistered Jersey females into the Herd Register. More than 75,000 females were enrolled after adoption on January 1, 1975, through Cavanaugh’s retirement 10 years later. The program was so successful that it became the model for similar programs in other breeds and across the world. Equally as important, Genetic Recovery brought people into the Jersey organizations, many of them becoming key leaders in subsequent years. Under Cavanaugh’s guidance, a scientific program for the control of genetic abnormalities was developed and implemented. With funding from the AJCC Research Foundation, the nature and inheritance of Limber Legs and Rectovaginal Constriction were objectively described and publicized.

Each of these programs, and others developed during Cavanaugh’s tenure, bolstered the basic service of animal identif ication. At his retirement, registrations had increased 39% compared to the lowest period in history. And, the organization had installed modern database processing equipment, creating the basis for today’s eff icient, costeffective herd services. Jim Cavanaugh attended Kansas State University, majoring in dairy production with minors in dairy management and ag journalism. He was a member of the 1941 dairy cattle judging team that won at Waterloo, Iowa, and placed third at the National Intercollegiate Judging Contest. On May 25, 1942, he hitched a ride to Lawrence, Kansas, to be sworn into the U.S. Army Air Corps for war service, then thumbed his way back to the Kansas State campus to receive his diploma in graduation exercises that evening. That summer and fall, he worked at Hoard’s Dairyman, then reported for flight training in November of 1942. He was a B-24 pilot with 50 combat missions in the European theatre, attaining the rank of Major and receiving the Distinguished Flying Cross. He was discharged in October of 1945 and resumed his position as associate editor with Hoard’s Dairyman. Cavanaugh served in leadership capacities with the National Brucellosis Committee, National Dairy Shrine, the American Dairy Science Association (ADSA), and the Purebred Dairy Cattle Association, May 2010
plus the American board of the Kiyosato Educational Experiment Project of Japan. Cavanaugh was at times an owner and breeder of registered Jerseys. The prefix he used in their names reflected his outlook. It was the military pilot’s term to describe optimal conditions for flying: Ceiling Absolute, Visibility Unlimited–CAVU. After his retirement, Jim joined the staff of the American Guernsey Association (1986-87), was acting executive secretary of National Dairy Herd Improvement Association (1987-88), and was Research Development Coordinator for the AJCC Research Foundation (1988-92). Numerous honors were bestowed upon Cavanaugh besides the AJCC Distinguished Service Award in 1985, and he took those opportunities to “spread the Jersey word.” These included National Dairy Shrine Guest of Honor (1978), World Dairy Expo Industry Person of the Year (1977), and ADSA Distinguished Service Award (1975). A lway s t h e w r i t e r a n d e d i t o r, Cavanaugh’s ongoing passion was the Gotham Herdsman books and newsletters chronicling the lives of the Borden Boys, of which he was a member. This league of 62 college students traveled with and cared for the cows representing each breed in the Borden’s Dairy World of Tomorrow exhibit at the 1939 World’s Fair. In 1999, he was present for Elsie’s 60th Anniversary in New York City, then again in June of 2007 for the 150th Anniversary of the Borden Company and to celebrate the donation of Borden Boys’ personal
memorabilia to the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. During his last visit to New York City, The New York Times profiled the lifetime love affair between Jim Cavanaugh and Elsie, who he helped bring to life in bovine form at the 1939 World’s Fair. Jim and Virginia “Ginny” Allen were married on April 22, 1946. They shared 59 years of marriage and lived in their Columbus home from 1949 until her death in January of 2006 at age 88. Jim paid tribute to her unflagging support at the 1985 Annual Meeting: “She played both mother and father to our four children. She managed the household, the finances and represented the family where necessary in civic, church, neighborhood and school affairs. She physically did the lawn and garden work, interior and exterior painting at the house and still managed to play in the championship flight at our military golf club for a dozen years.” Cavanaugh is survived by sons and daughters-in-law, Michael and Susan Cavanaugh of Arlington,, Va.; Paul and Jean Cavanaugh of Columbus; Kevin and Joan Cavanaugh of Raleigh, N.C.; and daughter and son-in-law, Gerald and Mary Manley of Columbus; seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. He was a 63-year member of St. Catharine Parish, where his Mass of Christian Burial was conducted April 9. Memorials can be made to The J. F. Cavanaugh Fund of the AJCC Research Foundation. Page 23

for a dozen years. He initiated a borrowed calf program in the county and made Jerseys from Dutch Hollow Farm available to non-agricultural youth long before the state adopted the idea. Members of the American Jersey Cattle Club first elected Chittenden to represent them on the AJCC Board of Directors in 1990. After serving two terms, he was elected president in 1997 and served in this capacity for four years. Board members thought so highly of Chittenden that they elected him as vice president of the AJCC in 1993-1994. “As a member of the board of directors and as president, his leadership helped set the stage for the growth the breed is currently enjoying,” noted the 52nd recipient of the Distinguished Service Award, Ray Schooley, Marshfield, Mo., and his wife, Margaret. Ray served the AJCC as president from 1992-1994 and worked closely with Chittenden as a board member. During Chittenden’s tenure of service to the national Jersey organizations, the cattle club reincorporated its name in Ohio as the American Jersey Cattle Association and implemented REAP. As president, he effectively led the approval of the Jersey Expansion program and guided the board through the appointment of a new executive secretary, Calvin Covington. Paul has ser ved on the AJCC’s registration, performance, finance and executive committees and chaired the Marketing and Research Committee in 1990-1996. He was a member of the planning committee for The All American Jersey Show & Sale and chaired both the junior activities and sale committees. He currently serves on the AJCA Investment Advisory Committee. Chittenden has also been a mentor for many that are leading the Jersey industry today. “Paul Chittenden has waved the ‘Jersey flag’ all the years I have known him,” said Kip Keller, who operates Den-Kel Jerseys with his wife, Robin Denniston-Keller in Byron, N.Y. “Robin and I are successful Jersey breeders and active young farmers because of the early influence of Paul Chittenden and his family.” “Paul (and Melanie) motivated Robin and I to succeed with a breed neither
Page 24
of us started out with. We both came from Holstein backgrounds, but with encouragement from our Jersey neighbors we saw the light and have pursued our dreams working with Registered Jerseys.” Like his father, Paul has been effective in passing the torch of service to his and Melanie’s four children. Brian currently is the vice president of the New York Jersey Cattle Club and active in the local fire department. Alan is involved with the New England Jersey Breeders Association and New England Jersey Sires and has held leadership positions with each organization. He has been a member of the AJCA Type Advisory Committee and has judged many local and regional dairy cattle shows. Nathan sits on the board of the county cooperative extension service and Karin owns one of Australia’s leading Registered Jersey herds, Riverside Jerseys, with her husband, Corey Couch. Service aside, Paul has also found time to develop a top-quality herd of Registered Jerseys. Dutch Hollow Farm is a charter member of Project Equity and been enrolled on REAP since the inception of the program in 1995. The 525-cow herd has a 2009 AJCA lactation average of 19,600 lbs. milk, 948 lbs. fat and 702 lbs. protein. The herd is ranked among the top 100 herds in the country for Jersey Performance Index (JPI) after the April 2010 genetic evaluations with an average JPI of +37. Brian, Alan and Nathan and their families are involved in the operation of the 2,000-acre farm with their parents. Jersey eff iciency and effective herd management have allowed the Chittendens to make extensive improvements to the operation in recent years. A new parlor was completed in 2009 and a new calf and heifer barn is in the works. The doors at Dutch Hollow Farm have always been open to tours and youth functions. The farm hosted the Fabulous 40s Sale in 1992, the Fantastic 50s Sale in 1993 and the National Heifer Sale in 1995. More recently, the farm was a stop on the tour that followed the World Jersey Cattle Bureau conference in Syracuse, N.Y., in the summer of 2009. Dutch Hollow Farm routinely consigns to the Pot O’Gold Sale, The All American Jersey Sale and the National Heifer Sale.
The farm has donated to the Jersey Youth Academy and was recognized for their Leadership Gift to the AJCC Research Fund in 2005. “The list of those who have made major contributions to our breed is long,” Ferry wrote. “The list of those who have given their lives to total support, service and promotion of the Jersey breed is a much shorter one. Paul Chittenden stands high in the second category.” A father and son who have worked with Chittenden in service to the national Jersey organizations, G. Joe and Eric Lyon, Toledo, Iowa, summed it another way. “ M a n y h av e m a d e i m p o r t a n t contributions to our breed. Only a few have given their lives in total to the progressive movement and advancement of modern breed programs, even when it was not popular to be that person.” “All gave some; some gave all.” Paul Chittenden is one who gave it all.

production tested offspring, and 3,350 appraised offspring in the U.S. Another high producing cow brought to D&E Jerseys is Jo-Gep Hallmark Party Time-ET. “Party Time” has 34 offspring and two sons heading into A.I. One of her daughters, D&E Rueben Party Time, was the fourth high seller in the Jersey Research Foundation donation sale in 2005 and is one of 10 daughters with an average JPI score of +179 and an average appraisal score of 85.7%. “The Shermans have developed this outstanding herd while giving unselfishly to the leadership of all the local, state and national Jersey organizations,” said Herby Lutz. Donnie and Elsa have also made contributions to various other divisions of the dairy industry. He was one of the founding fathers of Jerseyland Sires, where he continues to serve as chairman of the Selection Committee. On the other side of the spectrum, he was one of the original founders of the Hilmar Cheese Company, in which he is still actively involved. Donnie has also been very involved in other Jersey organizations, serving as a board member and president of the Central Valley Jersey Breeders Association and being active with the California Jersey Cattle Association (CJCA), in which he also served as president. On the national level, Donnie served two terms as an elected AJCA board member, AJCA vice president and three terms as AJCA president from 2004-2007. As a fourth generation dairy farmer in California, the quality of D&E Jerseys has been recognized by area Jersey breeders. In 1981, the Shermans received the American Jersey Cattle Club’s Young Jersey Dairyman Award and the CJCA’s Senior Breeder Award in 1999. The Shermans are committed to providing quality Jersey genetics to all and are regular consigners to the National Heifer Sale and All American Sale. They believe the best way to improve the overall production of the Jersey breed is to make sure only the best animals are being offered, only selling their top animals during events. The Shermans are very committed to Jersey youth programs and offer an annual memorial scholarship with the CJCA in memory of their late daughter. The Nanette Sherman Taylor scholarship is offered annually to youth of the CJCA. In addition to the donation made to the Jersey Research Foundation sale, the Shermans also donated the proceeds from the sale of one of their bulls, D&E Rebel May 2010
Scholar-ET, to the AJCA Scholarship Fund. The bull was sold for syndication during the 2005 All American Sale, providing many opportunities for Jersey youth. Donnie has also served as a local 4-H leader, a member of the Merced County Extension Advisory Committee, an active member of the Merced County Farm Bureau and a member of the Western United Dairymen. In addition to his local work, Donnie has represented the United States at international Jersey events like the World Jersey Conference in May 2008 and has hosted visitors from around the world at both D&E Jerseys in Hilmar and Avi-Lanche Jerseys in Dalhart. Donnie and Elsa Sherman continue to provide their highest quality animals to Jersey farmers throughout the country while also purchasing a few top-quality foundation animals every year. It has become a great passion of theirs to know they are not only building a strong herd at D&E and Avi-Lanche Jerseys, but also helping all those around them improve the genetic state of the Jersey breed. 1944 1945 1946 1947 1948 1949 1950 1951 1952 1953 1954 1955 1956 1957 1958 1959 1960 1961 1962 1963 1964 1965 1966 1967 1968 1969 1970 1971 1972 1973 1974 1975 1976 1977 1978 1979 1980 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997

Jersey breeders who were also his clients.” His work with many breeds of cattle made Dr. Lineweaver appreciate the reproductive efficiency of the Jersey and it was the little brown cow that he chose when he made the decision to get into the business of dairy cattle breeding. In 1983, he established WF/L&M Jerseys, a partnership with Dr. Ray Murley and Waverly Farm of Clear Brook, Va. More than 50 bulls with the WF/L&M prefix were sent to A.I., including WF/L&M Duncan Barber. “Barber” has more than 13,400 registered progeny to date and was named Premier Performance Sire of The All American Jersey Show in 1999 and 2000. His daughters, Barbers Dolanda and Shenandoah Barber Gem, were named Overall Premier Performance Cow of The All American Jersey Show in 1995 and 1999, respectively. Dr. Lineweaver is a member of several other partnerships with Jersey breeders, including Fairway Jerseys, the Eagles Only Syndicate and the Power Forward Syndicate. He also breeds cattle using his own prefix, Cardinal Jerseys. Dr. Lineweaver stepped up to serve the American Jersey Cattle Association as Director from the Sixth District from 2000-2006. He gained the respect of his peers as was elected vice president of the AJCA in 2004 and 2005. He chaired the organization’s breed improvement and scholarship committees and was a member of its finance and development committees. He also served on the AJCA Type Advisory Committee and the planning committees for The All American Jersey Show and Sale. “His pioneering work in the embryo transfer business and extensive leadership involvement in the AETA uniquely qualified him to provide guidance as the AJCA developed rules for prefix naming of animals, including embryos sold to other breeders, the merchandising of rights to flush an individual cow and related issues,” noted Virginia Jersey Cattle Club officers, Lee Cronise of Fincastle and Mike Stiles of Clear Brook, who also is a partner in WF/L&M Jerseys. “He was also a guiding force in establishing AJCA policies for the sale of embryos in JMS sales.” Dr. Lineweaver also was a member of the AJCA Board that approved the decision to adopt Jersey Performance Index in 2002. Upon his retirement from AJCA service in 2006, former AJCA Director Clint Collins III, Sylacauga, Ala., told Dr. Lineweaver, “We are going to miss your insistence on doing what is right and best for the Jersey cow and owners of the Jersey cow. “This isn’t the only board that you have May 2010
served on. But, I have a suspicion that the AJCA Board may have been your favorite. How else can we explain what you brought to every meeting: energy, great good humor, and a single-mindedness to help improve and promote the Jersey breed?” Dr. Lineweaver is beginning to step back a bit from his daily work in the embryo transfer business to pass the reins to his son, Dan, and spend more time with his wife, Beverly. But, his enthusiastic support of the Jersey cow and her owners endures. The senior statesman continues his sponsorship of events at The All American Jersey Show and Sale, regularly attends Jersey functions
and mentors younger breeders in profitably operating their herds.

correlation (-.12), which is small, but in the wrong direction. For Somatic Cell Score, with improved dairy form, we get a higher cell count (.20). For daughter pregnancy for dairy form, we get a lower Daughter Pregnancy Rate (-.34). “This is an example where we have strong positive relationships with yield traits, but not such good relationships with fitness traits.” “When we look at rear legs, again we have positive relationships for yield traits (.36 protein and .40 fat). Cows with higher PTAs for fat and protein tend to have a more sickled leg set than the average of the group. We have a negative effect on Productive Life (-.11). Cows with higher Productive Life are going to be more-posty.” “With rear udder width, which is a trait we’ve always known is a very good indicator of production, the correlation with Productive Life was not significant. With Somatic Cell Score, it was in the wrong direction (.13); with Daughter Pregnancy Rate, it was in the wrong direction (-.18). These correlations are likely due to the fact that cows with very wide udders have higher milk production.” “Fore udder, in contrast, had negative relationships to fat (-.26) and protein (-.13) but a very nice positive relationship with Productive Life (.39), a reasonably positive one with Daughter Pregnancy Rate (.18) and is pointed in the right direction for Somatic Cell Score (-.17). “Fore udder is one of those traits that is not positively associated with the highest producing bulls, but rather with those that tend to stay in the herd a little longer. If that is the case, then we want to have an intermediate optimum when we put this FTI trait into our index.” By doing so, pressure will be kept on improving traits that fore udder is associated with, noted Dr. Pearson. The same concept should be applied to udder depth, Dr. Pearson noted. “There is a fairly strong relationship between fat (-.26) and protein (-.37) in the wrong direction. Deep udders are associated with more fat and protein. Good, tight udders are associated with longer Productive Life (.41), reduced Somatic Cell Score (-.17) and better Daughter May 2010

2002 to increase the weight on udder traits, in proportion to their impact on lowering SCS. “Every time we included FUI in the selection goals, we had negative weights being put on that index” Pearson noted. “Having a negative weight on FUI gave you two situations that, to me, were intolerable.” Dr. Pearson explained. “First, you were going to be selecting for higher SCS. Second, you were going to be selecting for poorer udders.” In the new formula for JPI, overall emphasis on udder traits remains very strong.

Correlations take values from +1 to -1 and increase in intensity as they extend from zero. Generally, positive correlations are desirable and negative correlations are undesirable. In the case of SCS and Rear Legs, though, a negative correlation is desirable. Because of their correlation with the components of JPI, traits in the FTI were re-weighted with the recent update to JPI.

n Oregon, it’s all about agriculture. Anywhere you travel, you will find a form of agriculture. Whether it is dairy, general livestock, logging, fishing, wineries or greenhouses, agriculture production in the state was valued at $4.9 billion in 2008. The state ranks #1 in the production of Christmas trees, blackberries, hazelnuts, fescue, rye and orchard grass seed, crimson clover, onions, and dungeness crabs, just to name a few. The dairy industry ranks fifth in the state’s agricultural commodities ranking with a value of over $412 milllion and it has seen a steady growth in milk production in recent years. The majority of the state’s dairy herds are located on the western side of the state, nestled between the Cascade Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. And, this region is a hotbed for Jersey herds and top ranked Jersey genetics.
After the April 2010 genetic evaluations, Oregon Jersey breeders have much to be proud of:
• 13 herds rank among the top 25% in the breed for JPI; • 31 Oregon-bred sires are on the Active A.I. List; 10 rank among the Top 20; • 42 Oregon-owned females rank among the Top 200 of the breed for JPI; 7 in the Top 20; • 43 Oregon-owned females rank among the Top 200 GJPI females; including #2, 3, and 4; • In 2009, three herds ranked among the top 10 herds in the nation for milk, fat or protein production. In Tillamook, on the Oregon coast, is the award winning Tillamook Cheese plant. Three of the past four years, the Creamery has been named The Most Admired Company in Oregon by the Portland Business Journal. There is much to enjoy during your visit to Oregon. The Jersey breeders welcome you to come early and stay longer and experience all that Oregon agriculture has to offer.
Oregon Jerseys
Blue Mist Jerseys, the Eddie Gomes family, have received five consecutive years of High Quality Milk from Tillamook Creamery. Taking a break from daily activities are James, Molly, Samuel, and Katie in front and Curtis, Eddie and Ryan in the back.
Blue Mist Jerseys
A better milk market was enough reason in 1997 for Eddie and Katie Gomes to sell their Holstein herd in California and move to Tillamook, Ore. Twelve years later, the Gomes family just received their fifth consecutive High Quality Milk Award from the Tillamook County Creamery–an honor they take great pride in. When Eddie made the decision to sell his 250-head Holstein herd, he contacted Jersey Marketing Service (JMS) to help him purchase the Jerseys he wanted. He traveled throughout the southeast with JMS staff to pick the cattle that fit his price range and needs. Moving the cattle across the U.S. to California, and four months later to Oregon, took its toll on the cattle. The somatic cell count (SCC) in the herd was averaging over 450,000. It took nearly five years to build the herd back and breed the Registered Jersey they wanted. Now the herd averages 61,000 SCC and they have grown the herd to 310 milk cows. The January 2010 rolling herd average was 17,130 lbs. milk with a cheese yield of 2,062 lbs. cheese on 270 cows. The herd is managed by Eddie and Katie and their sons, Curtis and Ryan. Curtis is the herdsman and does 99% of the breeding and records. Eddie manages the feeding program, grass pastures and waste management. Katie handles the calf management, bookkeeping, and registration work for the dairy. Ryan helps when home from the Marine Corp. where he is a Lance Cpl. The herd is grazed throughout the summer and housed in a freestall barn during inclimate weather. The calves are raised in hutches and then sent to a heifer grower when they are 4-6 months old and return 3-4 months prior to calving. All of the P8 and P9 heifers are bred using sexed semen. The family breeds for udders, feet and legs and components. Proven sires currently being utilized in the herd are: ISDK Q Impuls, “Cecil-P,” Maackdairy Page 34
Region-ET, “Louie 260.” The Gomes family strongly believes in young sire programs as approximately half of the services are to young sires. One of their most prominent cow families descends from the Rebob Jersey herd. They purchased several embryos out of Rebob Berretta Lexie in 1999 and from these resulted Lemvig Mookey of Blue Mist-ET. She is Excellent-92% and just completed her best record to date at 8-0 305 30,120 4.4% 1,328 3.3% 989 97DCR. She has five sons in A.I. and four Very Good daughters, with two of them producing in excess of 21,000 lbs. milk. With the recent purchase of a new 5,000 gallon bulk tank, Blue Mist Jerseys has future plans for another freestall barn to make room for the next generation.
State Fair. She lived to be nearly 15 years old and produced over 150,000 lbs. milk averaging 5.4% butterfat and 4.0% protein. David routinely consigns to The All American Sale and National Heifer Sale. Sires he is currently using include BHFSSF Parade Louie-ET and MVF Kulp SJ PMont Sulton-ET.
Showing Registered Jerseys is the livelihood of Candylane Jerseys. Pictured with their Western National Futurity Champion, Candylane Supreme Rosalie, are Justin, Katie, Ben, Allysen, Briggs, Kashan, and Kiptyn Snell.

One of David Betz’s most valuable homebred cows is Butter Brook YC Peach Pie, Excellent-92%. She produced 29,510 lbs. milk, 1,049 lbs. fat and 952 lbs. protein.
Butter Brook Jerseys
David Betz’s passion for Registered Jerseys and Jersey history began with his 4-H career at age 9. He purchased his first calf from George Danforth, Jefferson, N.Y, and it was love at first sight. This experience paved the way to his life in the dairy industry, a path that has had many twists, turns and opportunities for David. He has farmed on his own, was employed as an area representative for the American Jersey Cattle Club, and worked on prominent Jersey herds in both the northeast and northwest United States. Growing up in New York, David was active in 4-H and leadership activities. He graduated from SUNY Cobleskill in 1977 and received the Jack C. Nisbet Memorial Scholarship. He also participated in All American Jersey Shows and Sales during his youth and received the AJCA Young Jersey Breeder Award in 1992. Three years ago, David moved his herd of 20 milking cows to Beaver, Ore., for a herdsman position at Woodstock Dairy. His herd continues to grow with many descendants tracing back to High Lawn breeding. One of his favorite cows was Butter Brook Wondrous Joy-P, the Reserve Grand Champion of the 1981 New York
The Candylane prefix is synonymous with high-caliber show cows on the west coast. After the most recent appraisal the herd averaged 85% on 237 cows with 49 Excellent and 162 Very Good cows. The Snell family—Jack, Kim, Katie and Justin and Ben, Kashan, Allysen, Briggs and Kiptyn—all find motivation in their Registered Jersey herd that makes them want to go to the barn every day. “The quality that you can breed from Registered Jerseys is truly amazing,” said Ben. “Every generation seems to get better.” The operation is a family venture with Jack owning the farm and handling the 300 acres. Ben does the cow work, milking, feeding and mating the herd. Current sires being used in the herd include: Forest Glen Avery Action, SC Gold Dust Paramount Iatola-ET and SHF Centurion Sultan. Kim and Katie are the calf management team and Justin helps with relief milking when needed. The farm is self-sufficient as they harvest their own baleage, raise their own heifers and maintain their herd size through internal growth. The 180-cow REAP herd is milked in a double-five herringbone parlor and fed a TMR. Eighteen months ago, a pasteurizer was installed to help with calf raising. The calves are raised in an open barn and fed milk for the first three months. After weaning they are moved into group pens. Since the 1960s, the Snells have exhibited their cattle at local and state shows and more recently the Western National Jersey Show. In 2009, Candylane (continued to page 36)

Supreme Rosalee, Excellent-91%, was named Western National Futurity champion. In 2008, “Rosalie” made the trip to Madison, Wis., to show at the Central National Jersey Show. One of the family’s favorite moments with Registered Jerseys was at the 2008 Tillamook County Fair when they exhibited the Supreme Champion, Junior Champion, Reserve Junior Champion, and Exhibitor’s herd of the show. The future looks bright as the next generation of Snells is already showing great interest in exhibiting Registered Jerseys.
Osceola Montana Ellen B 96, Excellent-92%, is a family favorite. Christie, Chase, Phil, Matthew, Lloyd, Jason, and Cindy Hansen all take a break to show their appreciation to her.
Cascadia Farm
When the AJCA-NAJ Annual Meetings take place this summer in Portland, it will be a special time for Lloyd and Cindy Hansen of Canby. In 1989, Lloyd received the Young Jersey Breeder Award and this summer, his son and daughter-in-law, Phil and Christie, will receive the same honor. Cascadia Farms is truly a family operation with Lloyd and Cindy working
side-by-side with their four children, Phil, Christy, Andrea and Jennifer. Phil’s and Christie, and their three sons, Jason, 6, Matthew, 3, and Chase, 1, are a part of the daily operations as well. Dairying began in 1944 for the Hansen family. Lloyd’s parents, Walter and Eileen, purchased the farm and milked Registered Jerseys until Walter’s death in 1997. At that point, Lloyd and Cindy took over the dairy. The REAP herd has grown to 125-cows and had a March 2010 rolling herd average of 15,112 lbs. milk, 652 lbs. fat and 552 lbs. protein. The farm sells its milk to the Northwest Dairy Association under the Darigold label. The herd is fed corn silage, haylage and long-grain hay. The cows graze in the spring and summer and are milked in a doublethree side-opening parlor and housed in a freestall facility. Calves are raised through weaning at the farm and then sent to a heifer grower until breeding time when they return to the farm. The Hansens choose sires that are plus for milk and have strong udder traits. Sires that have low Expected Future Inbreeding are used frequently to keep relationships at a minimum in the herd. Through their focus on top genetics, they have placed two sons in A.I. out of Osceola Montana Ellen B 96. The latest venture at Cascadia Farms is a line of grass-fed Jersey steers that Phil and Christie have been raising and selling the beef at local farmers markets. They also offer pasture-raised chicken and eggs, and heirloom vegetable plants at the markets. Jersey youth development programs have played an important role in the youth of Cascadia. Phil, Christy and Jennifer have all placed among the Top 10 in the National Jersey Youth Achievement contest. In 2009, Jennifer was a member of the inaugural class of Jersey Youth Academy and also placed in the National Jersey Youth Production Contest.
ChasinRainbows Dairy
Patti Tohl was born and raised in Los Angeles, Calif., and always loved animals, but never dreamed she one day would own and operate one of the top production Jersey herds in the nation. She and her husband, Dean, own and operate Chasin-Rainbows
Patti and Dean Tohl take a break to show off the dam of their National Heifer Sale consignment, Chasin-Rainbows Iatola Georjette-ET.
Dairy on the edge of Tillamook. The herd has a 2009 AJCA lactation average of 22,291 lbs. milk, 1,187 lbs. fat and 828 lbs. protein on 24 cows. They tied for second in fat in the nation in 2009. The herd has consistently ranked among the top 10 herds for production for the past several years. The herd also ranks 31st in the nation for JPI with averages of +252M, +26F, +12P, +$149CM, +$129NM, and +$114FM on 36 cows. For 22 consecutive years, the Tohl family has been on the Honor Roll with Tillamook County Creamery Association, where their milk is shipped. When Patti headed off to college at the University of California-Davis campus to enter the pre-vet program, she had no idea the impact a Jersey calf would have on her. As a result of a drawing for the school’s Little “I” Livestock Show, she received a Jersey calf to learn with. She has never looked back. Patti later transferred to Cal Poly to enter the dairy manufacturing program and entered the Project Dairy program to gain work experience on a working farm. In 1977, she purchased two grade Jersey cows and brought them up through the Genetic Recovery Program. A majority of the herd today goes back to these two cows. They purchased Dean’s family’s Holstein farm in 1981. Nearly 20 years later, the herd is still mixed, but an equal number of Holsteins and Jerseys coexsist in the operation. In 2008, the couple sold all but five older cows in their milking herd and kept their heifers. To increase their herd numbers, they are breeding all of the heifers to sexed semen. The Tohls are proud of the 70% conception rate they run. By staying small the Tohls feel they can offer their best, as they believe selling your top animals is the best advertising a herd can have for its genetic base. They credit the use of the top JPI sires in the breed to elevating them to the success they have had. The REAP herd utilizes JerseyMate and BullsEye to aid in breeding suggestions.
Cochran Dairy
For Jeffry Cochran, Coquille, it is all
about keeping up with the changing market demands. After being told numerous times that producing organic milk was the only way to survive when milking less than 200 cows, Jeffry decided that was just what he needed to do. After taking over the family dairy in 1987, Jeffry decided he needed to get his herd registered and two years later started with the Genetic Recovery program. He now milks 50 Jersey cows and has 56 young calves and replacement heifers. After many years of milking, Jeffry decided the organic market would better fit his operation. Being able to cut the expenses of grain costs and have his cows on a pasture based diet was advantageous to the longer growing season of the area. Jeffry sends his milk to Pacific Foods, a processing plant in Portland making creamy soups, and Valley Crest in Myrtle Point. However, with this new market came new rules, regulations and practices. Through the use of numerous products like vitamins and honey, Jeffry has been able to keep his cows healthy and productive without jeopardizing his organic status. The efficiency and hardiness of the Jersey cow have also played a major role in the success of his dairy. Jeffry runs the farm, while his mother handles some of the finances and paperwork.
May 2010
He is joined in his day-to-day work by one other employee, Terri, who has been helping him for more than 21 years. Most of the bulls used in the breeding plan are young sires like Forest Glen Avery Action-ET, Mason Lemvig Jacinto-ET and Richies Jace TBone A364. He currently has a bull in A.I. at Select Sires, JBC Rebel Boomhower. By developing an understanding for how to stay afloat in an ever-changing market, Jeffry Cochran has carved a niche for himself in the dairy industry. He is prepared to make any needed adjustments to be sure the consumers are getting exactly what they are asking for and his herd of little brown cows is healthy and productive.
Cowan Dairy
In 2000, the Cowan family of Astoria was milking Registered Holsteins. Not wanting to lose the value of cows, they had been hesitant to breed the herd to Jersey semen. But a trip to the Esplin Jersey Dispersal in December 2000 started to change the color of their herd. “We were able to see for the first time at that sale that Jerseys and Jersey crosses were bringing Holstein prices,� said Julian Cowen. Now 10 years later, the seasonal, grassbased dairy milks nearly 1,000 cows with 100 of those 50% Jersey and coming
The Cowan family milks over 1,000 head on their Astoria farm. The family enjoys opening their doors to the public to teach them where milk products come from.
through the Jersey Expansion program. Currently they have 450 yearling heifers to begin breeding in May and 350 baby calves will be born in the first three months of 2010. The herd is milked in a rotary parlor and feed supplemental grain while milking. They are housed in a freestall facility when they are unable to be outside. The calves are raised in groups and fed on a 50-nipple mob feeder until they are three months-of-age. The farm is owned by Brad and Melody Cowan and their three children, Julian, Nathaniel, and Marika. Julian manages much of the herd and makes the breeding decisions. He and Marika have learned to use the sonogram machine and can now do their own pregnancy checks on the herd. As (continued to page 38)

well, Julian is certified to do his own embryo transfer work on the herd. Brad manages the grass pastures and he and Melody have traveled internationally to speak and participate in grazing conferences. Their milk is sold to Tillamook Creamery. The family is very active in the education of the public with the dairy industry. They host local tours for the schools and other groups to come in and see a working dairy. Their Christmas cards each year to local businesses feature photos of their herd with an educational story on the back to illustrate how the animals are cared for and how a product goes from cow to the dairy case. As a grass-based dairy, the family breeds for cows with longevity, high test, udders, and the ability to convert grass to milk as efficiently as possible. Julian spent a year in New Zealand learning their grazing practices and the family breeds to several New Zealand bulls such as “Target,” “Zues,” “Red Ribbon,” “Doddy,” and “Murmur.” They use some North American genetics as well in Bridon Remake Comerica-ET and Special Forces. “Registered Jerseys have the ability to harvest feed efficiently without the demand of the daily maintenance needs of the larger breeds,” concluded Cowan. “In our farming operation, that makes them invaluable.”
Desert Park Jerseys
When talking with Robert Moss after the April genetic summaries, his excitement shines through when the topic is GR DP Dales Hugo, the current #2 GJPI young sire of the breed. The young sire bred by the Moss family is the highest ranking sire they have had to date in A.I. service. The 22-year-old is proud of where their family is and appreciates the opportunities

they have been given with their move to Oregon. However, it has not been an easy road. In 1984, Robert’s dad, Bob, and his grandpa, Alvin, purchased a herd of 120 Registered Jerseys and another 120 head from the home farm, Mountain Shadow Dairy, in Arizona. For six months, Bob leased the facilities and milked there before Desert Park Jerseys was established. In 1992, Bob and his wife, Barb, moved their family and cows to Laveen, Ariz., and grew the herd size to 1,200 milking cows. In 2007, the family downsized the herd to 400 cows and moved to their present location in Jefferson, Ore. Not long after the move, Bob was diagnosed with a stage four brain tumor and battled the disease over the course of two years and lost his fight in November 2009. His two oldest sons, Robert and Ryan, 20, have been managing the farming operations since the move to Oregon. Ryan is charge of the equipment and farmland, while Robert cares for the cows. Barb handles all of the bookwork for the dairy. Other family members—Carrie, Amy, Kendra and Caleb—also help out when needed. The REAP herd had a 2009 AJCA
lactation average of 19, 988 lbs. milk, 871 lbs. fat and 727 lbs. protein on 499 lactations. Their milk is marketed to Farmers Coop Creamery. The milk marketing system in Oregon is very different from what they came from in Arizona. Now instead of focusing 100% on milk sires, they are using a combination of traits to select sires, including +1,000 PTA Milk bulls, udder depth, rear udder height and width. They also put more emphasis on components now in their sire selection. Sires they are currently use include “Legal,” “Jacinto,” “Impuls,” “Lexington,” “Restore,” and “Headline.” “We love what we do and love working with Jerseys,” said Robert. “There are so many advantages, from calving easy to the premium product their milk gives us.” Desert Park Jerseys is a tour stop on Saturday, June 26, during the AJCA-NAJ Annual Meetings. Robert is serving as a co-chair of the 53rd National Heifer Sale.
Diamond K Jerseys
To own the property along the Trask River became a dream of Butch Katen’s when he visited the Tillamook area. He and his wife, Sue, were looking to move to a better milk market and even went as far as stopping to ask the previous owner several times if he was ready to sell and the answer was always, “No, not yet.” One day when Butch and Sue stopped, the timing was perfect and the owner was ready to sell. Just 65 short days later, the Diamond K herd moved to Tillamook from Orland, Calif. Butch has always had Jerseys from the time he started in 4-H in Petaluma, Calif. He and his parents had a “drive-in” dairy where they sold pasteurized milk in the 60s and 70s. In 1976, he and Sue moved to Orland to a Holstein dairy to work. In 1986, they purchased their own dairy and

farmed. At that time, the cheese plant they shipped to transitioned to a pasture farm and it perpetuated Butch’s fascination with grazing. In 2004, they sold the Holsteins and went to 100% Jerseys. The 320-cow REAP herd averages 54 lbs. milk daily with a 4.6% fat and a 3.6% protein test. Cows are grazed on rye and clover grasses and in the winter are fed excess grass stored in ag bags and brewer’s yeast. In 2009, the grass averaged 22% to 29% protein throughout the fall season. By grazing, the Katens make the most of their milk check with lower feed costs and utilizing the efficiencies of the Jersey in being good converters of roughages. When selecting sires to use on the herd, Butch looks first and foremost at Jersey Udder Index (JUI). “We need a good udder to pick a balance between milk and components,” said Butch. They are currently using sires such as “Legal,” “Impuls,” and BW Carrier-ET. Butch believes in using young sires as well as over 50% of the matings are made to high-genomic young sires. In January, the Katens began using Heifer Plus, a new semen sexing agent that can be done right on the farm. With the technology, Katen is looking to produce more daughters and better offspring from these top genetic bulls.
Fallen Oak Jerseys
Showing and teaching youth in the community about agriculture has always been a passion for Reed and Shirley Johnson of Molalla. In 2009, they sold 19 project calves to local youth. “We work a lot with youth in the community,” said Shirley. “Being able to give them the agricultural experience is very special to us.” These former 4-H advisors not only have enjoyed watching area children work with their projects over the years, but their two daughters, Roxanne and Amanda, have brought much joy and satisfaction with their many accomplishments. Roxanne placed second in the 1999 National Jersey Youth Achievement Contest and five years later, Amanda won the contest. That same year, May 2010
Amanda was named FFA Star State Farmer in Oregon. Both girls are now married and still actively involved in the dairy industry. Registered Jerseys have been in the Johnson family since 1918 when Reed’s grandfather purchased the first. In the 1960s Reed’s sister won a calf, “KoKo,” through the Fred Meyer calf contest. She later gave a daughter of “KoKo” to Reed, which became the foundation of Fallen Oaks deepest cow family. This year, Reed and Shirley continued the family trend by giving their three-year-old grandson, Nolan, a calf from this family to call his own.
Reed and Shirley Johnson are proud of their Jersey herd and the two daughters they have raised on the farm. Both Roxanne and Amanda have strong Jersey roots and participated in national Jersey youth programs growing up.

The 60-cow pasture-based REAP herd believes in breeding the type of animals they can market and sell. Part of their teaching philosophy to the youth they help is showing them how to read the pedigrees of the animals they purchase. This is one of the reasons the Johnson family breeds to the top JPI bulls in the breed. They have sold many animals through local sales and always participated in the Pot O’Gold Sale when it was held on the west coast. Reed and Shirley helped chair the 1980 AJCA-NAJ Annual Meetings in Portland.
have topped the National Heifer Sale three times and The All American Jersey Sale twice. Exports have been made to buyers in Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, South Africa, and several countries in South America. Fourteen years ago, the 1,300 cow operation transitioned to organic production with milk now marketed through Organic Valley-CROPP. The herd is managed on intensive grazing as much as possible and fed TMR the balance of the year. Dan has served on the Oregon Dairy Air Quality Task Force and as chairman of the Farmer’s Cooperative Creamery. He is a past director of the AJCA and National All-Jersey Inc. Bansen received the Young Jersey Breeder award in 1981. The herd is enrolled on REAP and uses JerseyTags for identification. They are contract advertisers in the Jersey Journal. On Saturday, June 26, the 53rd National Heifer Sale will be held at Forest Glen Jerseys.
They receive a lot of help from good friend, Bob Johnson, from Vale, Ore. Bob helps them with selecting bulls and assisting with breeding decisions on the dairy. The Gourley’s purchased the current farm in May 1998 and transitioned to organic in May 2003. The Jersey has remained a perfect fit for the operation with her ability to graze and convert feed better than any other breed. They believe in breeding the Jersey for what she was intended to be. Their breeding philosophy centers around longevity of the herd and maintaining good udders and feet and legs. The foundation of their herd goes back to Valleystream breeding and they switch each generation between U. S. and Canadian sires. With daughters Rebecca and Lena both currently in 4-H, the family spends a lot of time working with the youth in the community and hosting judging tours and teaching youth about the dairy breed.

Jamie Bansen is a third generation dairy producer at Forest Glen Jerseys. She, and her father, Dan, manage and care for 1,600 Registered Jerseys at Forest Glen Oaks and Forest Glen Jerseys.
Forest Glen Jerseys
Forest Glen Jerseys, Dayton, Ore., was formed in 1946 by Stanley and Dora Bansen. The herd was one of the first to be registered with the American Jersey Cattle Association through its Genetic Recovery program. Today, Forest Glen Jerseys is owned by Dan and Judy Bansen and includes 1,300 cows in two separate herds managed by daughter, Jamie, and Robert Kircher. Production in 2009, on a 305day lactation basis, averaged 16,800 lbs. milk, 813 lbs. fat and 691 lbs. protein per cow. Fifteen of the Top 200 cows ranked by JPI make their home at Forest Glen and both herds rank among the Top 25% of the breed for JPI. Forest Glen has been one of the top breeders of Jersey bulls for A.I. over the past two decades, with nine Forest Glen bulls now in active A.I. service. In 2009, Forest Glen Avery Action-ET and Forest Glen Meccas Jevon ranked third and fourth respectively for the number of sons registered. More than 4,770 total offspring were registered from these two sires last year. The Bansen family is strong supporters of local, regional and national Jersey sales. They have a strong history of highly sought-after genetics. Forest Glen females Page 40
Jack and Arlene Gourley’s prefix for their dairy farm in Scio, says it all—Faithful. Faith has gotten them through many things in their life and it was only fitting to select that as the name associated with their breeding program. Through tough times with dairy expenses and incomes to the loss of their 16-year-old son, Nathan, two years ago in a farming accident, four things have remained constant with the Gourley family—faith, family, community and the Jersey cow. Dairy cattle in the Gourley family dates back to Illinois and the Civil War era. The family owned a cow with President Abraham Lincoln and he sold the cow back to them and she moved west with the family on a wagon train. In 1914, Jack’s grandfather, Ernest, purchased his first Registered Jersey and since then the Jerseys have been a fixture on the farm. Today, Jack and Arlene and their children, Matthew, Rebecca, and Lena, farm 111 acres and milk 140 cows on their organic dairy in the Willamette Valley.
Jack and Arlene Gourley and their children, Rebecca, Matthew and Lena, graze their 140-cow herd in the shadow of the Cascade Mountain range.
Mike Bush of Gypo Jerseys, works daily alongside his sons, Hayden and Alex. The herd had a January rolling herd average of 18,500 lbs. milk.
Gypo Jerseys
In 1992, Mike and Lori Bush took over the Gypo Jersey herd from his father, Brownlee. Now two decades the later, the Jersey cow still never ceases to amaze Mike. During the summer months the 120 cow REAP herd averages nearly 70 lbs. per cow on grass. The herd had a January 2010 rolling herd average of 18,500 lbs. milk, 891 lbs. fat and 655 lbs. protein. They are strong believers in DHI testing for the added value that it gives pedigrees for marketing purposes. The herd is located just outside of Tillamook and milk is sold to the Tillamook Creamery. Mike currently receives help on the farm from sons, Alex and Hayden. Oldest son, Travis, has been with the farm for two years and recently took a job off the farm. In breeding the herd, the family is looking for “a working cow.” They breed for fat and protein components and feet and legs and udders. They select from the top 5-15 bulls on the active A.I. list and (continued to page 42)

are currently using “Headline,” “Legal,” Ahlem Lemvig Abe-ET, and “Action.” The herd is grazed from April to November and fed supplemental feeds. The calves are raised in hutches for the first four months and then are sent to a heifer grower and return to the farm right before calving. A stringent vaccination program is in place for the herd and they consistently test the herd for Johne’s disease.
Lady-Lane Dairy
Cited on the farm website as a “small, sustainable” dairy farm that prides itself on efforts to be environmentally friendly, Lady-Lane Jerseys is the only producerdistributor of Jersey milk in the state. Marketed under the Garry’s Meadow Fresh Premium Jersey Milk and Queen of Quality® label, Garry Hansen is one-year into his dream of owning and operating his own bottling plant. Lady-Lane Jerseys is nestled in the scenic valley of the Milk Creek Basin outside Mulino. The farm sits adjacent to Cascadia Jerseys, owned by his brother Lloyd, the place where Garry got his start in the business. After farming for five years on the family dairy, Garry began
Page 42
farming on his own in 1992. For nine years, he rented two dairies and then the opportunity to purchase the current site became available. He has been milking there since 2002. In May 2009, he began bottling the milk of his 45-cow herd and has not looked back. Garry is currently bottling his nonhomogenized milk two days a week in glass bottles. Each day he vat-pasteurizes three batches of milk at 145° Fahrenheit and holds it for 30 minutes. Three days a week, Garry is busy delivering his wholesale product to local retail shops. Garry’s Meadow Fresh products can be found at Whole Foods, Thriftway Markets, Haggen Food’s and several other local retailers. Consumers can also find the product at several fresh produce markets in the area. In mid-April, Garry’s Meadow Fresh cream was distributed to retail shops as well. At the home farm, Garry is in the process of building a retail store that can provide consumers an opportunity to come to the farm and see how milk comes from the cow to the bottle. The Lady-Lane herd is currently running a 4.75% fat test on 45 cows. The REAP herd is home to 10 Excellent cows and 22 Very Good cows with an average appraisal of 86%. One of Garry’s favorite cows is Lady-Lane Cyclone

With the bottling plant taking so much of Garry’s time, he relies on several people to help keep things running smoothly. Jersey breeder Jill Hewitt helps with milking and Garry’s girlfriend, Lacey McReynolds, helps with the processing plant, advertising and promotion. Annual meeting finance chair, Pat Gourley, houses his herd of Registered Jerseys at the farm and also helps with registrations, calf identification and the vaccination program.

Norm Martin is a recovering Holstein breeder, and he will be the first to admit it. Though he started “messing” around with Jerseys in 1987, it took him nearly 11 years to decide to go 100% Jersey. Norm and Gwen Martin moved from California to Oregon in 1995. While they had been milking 900 Holsteins in Tulare, the new facility in Tillamook was only large enough for 450 cows, so 80 cows made the trip to Oregon. Just two years after moving to Tillamook, they had two Holstein pens and two Jersey pens at the facility. In 1998, the decision was made to turn the herd brown. The Martin’s purchased cattle all across the country and began to breed their Holstein herd to Jersey semen. By 2000, they had doubled their herd size, built a new barn and added freestalls. Today, their 1,000 cow milking herd ranks in the top 10 nationally for milk, fat and protein production. The 2009 AJCA lactation average is 23,269 lbs. milk, 1,134 lbs. fat and 848 lbs. protein on 874 lactations. They rank fourth for protein, seventh for fat and ninth for milk production in the U.S. In March 2010, the herd was averaging 64 lbs. milk daily. Norm and his son, Chad, manage the herd. They have seven full-time employees as well as receiving help from Chad’s wife, Fran, and their children. Cows are housed in a freestall facility and milked in a 32-stall rotary parlor. The Martins strive for an average age at first calving of 1-8. Because their milk is shipped to Tillamook Cheese, the Martins select sires that are high for cheese yield and fat pounds. They
Page 44
are currently using sires such as “Impuls,” “Louie,” “Headline,” “Nestor,” “Jevon,” and many high genomic-tested young sires. They are using sexed semen on all of their P7 heifers and above. The Martins also ultrasound their entire herd and sex the fetuses. This practice has cut down on reproductive issues and helped them with culling decisions. Their attention to top genetics has paid off as the herd ranks 24th in the nation for JPI after the April genetic summaries. The herd averages +206M, +25F, +12P, +$182CM, +$155NM, +$135FM and +53 for JPI. With the latest genomic run, Martin placed 12 bulls into A.I. sampling. Martin relies on management programs from the AJCA to help with decisions in the herd. The herd is enrolled on REAP and Martin is a devout user of JerseyMate to help with mating decisions. “It has been a fun ride thanks to the AJCA programs,” said Martin. The farm will be one of the tour stops on June 24.

had purchased in 1938, it was not until 2000 that Scottie added Jerseys to his Mary Hill Farm. After milking Holsteins and nationally recognized Guernseys for more than 60 years, it was a neighbor that led Scottie to see the value of the brown cow. He started by purchasing 28 Jerseys from a neighbor, and then purchased an additional 14 head from another herd. Scottie is currently milking 70 Registered Jerseys in addition to the 30 Guernsey and 40 Holstein cows. Scottie also has four others helping at his Mary Hill Farm: Shelly Monroe, Judy Philpott, Bob Johnson and Jim Norton. When it comes to breeding, Scottie is all about type, focusing on udders, feet and legs and dairyness. One of the main reasons he has developed such a love for Jerseys is their ability to breed easier, calve easier and live longer. He has also had success in the show ring, being named the Premier Breeder in 2008 and 2009 in Boise, Idaho, at the Western Idaho Fair. Scottie is very active in the dairy industry, across all three breeds. He spent 15 years on the Oregon Dairy Products Commission, 21 years on the Northwest Dairy Associations Co-op board and sat on the DMI board for Oregon State. The Northwest Dairy Association markets the product from Mary Hill Farms, sending the milk to a plant in Colorado or a fluid plant in Boise. While Scottie and his wife, Mary, approach 51 years of marriage, they have made an equally strong commitment to the dairy industry—through the best of times and the worst of times, they plan on continuing to milk their dairy herd.

has gotten lucky when it came to the Registered Jersey business with being in the right place at the right time. This young Holstein breeder has the best of both worlds. Her family’s Registered Holstein herd is widely recognized on the west coast for their genetics and show-winning type. Five years ago, Kara and neighboring Holstein breeder, Bruce Roos, purchased Sunset Canyon Centurion Maid-ET and gained national exposure with Three Valleys Jerseys. Since purchasing “Maid,” they have put five sons into A.I. sampling programs and sold daughters and granddaughters at national sale venues. Kara’s intrigue with the Jersey cow has led her to make other purchases of high-profile cows. In 2008, at The All American Jersey Sale in Louisville, Ky., Kara studied the sale catalog and found Pearlmont Impuls Daffy. The uniqueness of her pedigree and her high-genetic merit captured Kara’s attention. She and Eric Silva, breeder of “Centurion Maid,” made the purchase, genotyped her, and found out they had something special. After the April 2010 genetic evaluations, “Daffy’s” sons and daughters rank among the top genomically tested animals in the breed. Midway Dairy is owned by Karl and Donna Hale and their children, Kara and Steven. They milk 330 Holsteins and 12 Registered Jerseys. They have an extensive flush program and market embryos and cattle across the country. The herd is milked in a double-12 herringbone parlor and fed a mix of alfalfa, corn silage and grain mix. The calves are raised on the farm for 10-12 months and then shipped to eastern Oregon to be bred. They return to Cloverdale as springers. Kara is currently breeding the Jersey herd to ISAU Daraway Flowerpower Navara-ET, Griffens Governor-ET and Bridon Excitation-ET. “The Registered Jersey (and Holstein) Page 46
Roxanne Fletcher may have changed her last name when she got married in 2005, but she was not about to change cows. Having owned Registered Jerseys since she was sixweeks-old, it was only natural for the cows to come with her to her husband Daryl’s dairy farm, which consisted of primarily Holsteins. After their nuptials, Roxanne brought over her Jersey heifers and the couple now milks eight Registered Jerseys on their farm in Tillamook. While the majority of the 250 cows being milked are Holstein and a few Brown Swiss, it is the Jersey tradition that is being passed on to the couple’s first child, Nolan. Given to the three year-old as a birthday gift from Roxanne’s parents, Nolan will begin showing his Jersey calf in area shows. The March rolling herd average on the eight Jersey cows was 19,208 lbs. milk, 934 lbs. fat and 693 lbs. protein. The REAP herd also consists of seven replacement heifers and all scored animals are currently averaging in the mid-80’s or higher.
When Roxanne Johnson married Daryl Fletcher she introduced Jerseys to his Registered Holstein herd. The Jerseys have integrated well into the herd and the couple’s son, Nolan, just received his first Jersey from his grandparents.
The Fletcher’s focus on butterfat and protein when developing a breeding plan, while keeping stature, feet and legs, teat placement and overall udder quality also in the forefront of selection. They have recently used SC Gold Dust Paramount Iatola-ET, Richies Jace TBone A364 and Bridon Remake Comerica-ET. Roxanne praises the longevity of the Jersey cow along with their overall efficiency and hardiness. Another plus side of owning Jerseys has been the size and ease of the cow in the show ring, perfect for children and especially Nolan. With Daryl, Roxanne and Nolan now all owning Jersey cows, this three generation dairy is now a three-breed dairy.
The Slavens family owns and operates Moon Meadow Jerseys outside of Beaver, Ore. They milk 80 Registered Jerseys. Pictured left from right are Lucas, Bill, Ginger, Angie, Tucker, Caleb and Tanner.
Moon Meadows
Jerseys first came to Moon Meadows Dairy via a Christmas present to Bill and Ginger Slaven’s youngest son, Lukas. When Eric Silva and Paula Wolf moved to Oregon from California, they ended up just down the road from Moon Meadows. Lukas started going down to Sunset Canyon “to help” out. Soon a Jersey calf showed up in appreciation for Lukas’ help. That one calf grew on the Slavens and soon they were buying cattle from other neighbors, the Petersons and the Bush family. The predominately Holstein dairy that was established in 1983 was slowing beginning to turn brown. Today, the herd numbers 81 Jerseys and seven Holsteins. The herd, located just outside of Beaver, is a 100% grass-based dairy. The Slavens believe in utilizing the resources that are available to them. In 2009, the herd averaged 61 lbs. milk per cow on the alfalfa. The herd grazes from April through November and is fed green chop throughout the winter months. They have a March rolling herd average of more than 16,000 lbs. milk. They work with All-West Select Sires on their matings, breeding for milk, fat and corrective traits. Bill and Ginger have flushed a few cows, including one of their favorites—Gypos Declos 226 B203. She is Excellent-90% and has produced in excess of 21,000 lbs. milk, 900 lbs. fat and 700 lbs. protein. She has 28 registered offspring with eight daughters already appraised Very Good-80% or higher. Bill and Ginger are excited about the opportunities that Registered Jerseys have given them. The marketability of the cow is the trait they most admire. “Jersey Marketing Service has made it easy to sell our cattle for that extra milk check,” said Bill. “This is our fun thing to do when it comes to marketing.” An interesting side note, the entire Slavens family—Bill, Ginger, Tucker, Caleb, Tanner and Lukas—works as firefighters or EMTs in their spare time.

Jerseys were added to Oregon State’s dairy herd in 1996. The teaching dairy focuses on applied research and employees students to learn hands-on about dairying.
Oregon Jersey Breeders (continued from page 46)
Oregon State University
The dairy farm at Oregon State (OS) in Corvallis has been in existence since 1896. Through several years of developing the animal husbandry program, the herd took shape and by 1915 the OS dairy had 35 head of highproducing Jersey, Holstein, Guernsey and Ayrshire cattle. Over the years, only the Holsteins remained until 1996 when the university purchased Jerseys from Cottonwood Farm in Chehalis, Wash. Now the 112-cow herd is an equal mix between Jerseys and Holsteins. The university farm keeps a “neat balance between research and teaching,” according to Ben Krahn, OS Dairy Manager for the past 10 years. “We host several events here throughout the year such as the state 4-H and FFA judging contests,” said Krahn. “We have to breed a cow that we can use in those situations, but still maintain a high level of production.” “With the many tour groups that come through the dairy, we also have to be sensitive to giving an image that the public will appreciate,” continued Krahn. “We want to make the public aware of where their product comes from and encourage
Page 48
consumption.” Krahn selects bulls based on PTA Milk and that have solid udder traits. Sires used in the herd are “Iatola,” “Bowtie,” “Action,” “Carrier,” and “Saber.” The herd is a research herd as well. Many of the projects focus on nutrition and it is always applied research. The cows are all equipped with pedometers to monitor daily activity and all cows are weighed twice daily. The information is all then transported to their Afi-Milk system and tracked daily. The dairy employees 12-15 student workers each year, handling 65% of the work load. During the 2009-2010 school year, there were more than 400 students enrolled in the college of agriculture at OS.

goal in the herd. In 2009, the Peterson Jerseys AJCA lactation average was 18,828 lbs. milk, 841 lbs. fat, 703 lbs. protein on 239 lactations. Not only does Peterson Jerseys milk hard and transmit top genetics, but they look good doing it. After the most recent appraisal, the herd averages 83% with 28 Excellent and 186 Very Good cows. These days, Roy, a practicing vet for over 50 years, leaves many of the dayto-day decisions to his son, Eric. The herd is grazed in the summer and fed supplemental grain and alfalfa and oat hay. Milk is shipped to the Tillamook Cheese plant where they are paid on a component basis for their premium product. Eric and his wife, Loretta, have three children: Rob, Katie, and Troy.
Peterson Jerseys
Nestled right on the Tillamook Bay is the dairy of Eric and Roy Peterson, Tillamook. They began their herd in 1979 and it is now a top herd for genetics and production in the nation. The 260-cow REAP herd ranks among the Top 25% of the breed for JPI with an average of +82M, +12F, +7P, +$135CM, +$114NM, +$108FM and JPI +41. With the April genetic summaries, Peterson Impuls Ruby, Very Good-83%, ranks 60th in the nation for JPI on the traditional JPI cow list. She has four other herdmates that rank on the Top 1½% list for JPI as well. The Peterson’s have also genomically tested a cow, Peterson Jace Myrna, Very Good-88%. She ranks on the Top 1½% genomically-tested female list. She has a best record of 23,470 lbs. milk, 1,058 lbs. fat and 935 lbs. protein at 4-5. They also have two heifers that rank among the Top 500 heifers of the breed: Peterson Impulse Reba and Peterson Impuls Kristen. Production has always been the main

JERSEY JOURNAL
this delightful little present was that up until that moment, Barbara and her family were milking only registered Guernseys. Barbara now refers to her special gift, “Barb,” as the gift that never stopped giving and eventually being classified as an Excellent-95%. She became very impressed with the determination, strength and consistency of the Jersey cow and finds true value in the ease of breeding and calving offered by the Jersey breed. Barbara now owns 34 fully Registered Jerseys, with the bulk of her herd being offspring of “Barb.” Of those cows, there are six cows appraised Excellent, and eight more scored Very Good. As of March 2010, the rolling herd average on 18 cows was 19,205 lbs. milk. When selecting a breeding program, Barbara primarily focuses on excellent mammary systems and solid feet and legs. When Barbara first came back to work on her family farm almost 19 years ago, it was with hopes that she could work and rear her three children in that special environment. All three of her children are now active in the agricultural industry, with daughter Freynie, 27, and her family owning and operating Family Hill Jerseys, Ferndale, Wash., daughter Ahnie, 25, working on the home dairy, and son Erik, 22, living on a ranch near Burns.

Cris and Doris Rocha moved to Tillamook in 1998. A year later they purchased Medallion American Whistle at a National Heifer Sale and the Jersey business has been booming ever since for the couple. They are pictured with their children, Jennifer and her husband, Seth, and granddaughter Rachel are on the left and their son Cristopher is on the right. Daughter Amber and her son Cody, are pictured in the inset.
Rocha Jerseys
What started as one purchase from the 1999 National Heifer Sale has turned into a genetic blockbuster for Cris and Doris Rocha, Tillamook. Medallion American Whistle, Excellent-92%, has become a matriarch for the family. She has had six daughters enter the milking herd and all of them are Very Good-85% or higher with over 18,000 lbs. milk. Three of them have produced more than 24,000 lbs. milk on their best lactation. There are currently seven sons in A.I. from this family.
Cris and Doris were living in Washington, raising Jersey heifers for their children’s 4-H projects when they decided to buy a farm and start dairying on their own. Tillamook was the place they chose and in June 1998 they moved to their present location and began milking the Holstein herd that was on the farm. They brought 22 Jerseys with them and purchased animals from Hubert Osbourne, Idaho; Cottonwood Jerseys, Wash.; John Tenneson, Wash.; Eric and Loretta Peterson, Ore.; and the Nash Family in Moses Lake, Wash., during the next three years. The herd now totals 87 cows and 72 heifers – all Registered Jerseys. The March 2010 rolling herd average for Rocha Jerseys was 18,761 lbs. milk, 864 lbs. fat and 684 lbs. protein on 70 milking cows. The REAP herd ships its milk to Tillamook Creamery and is paid on cheese dollars. This is a big advantage for the Jerseys in Cris’ eyes. “It makes sense to milk Jerseys,” said Rocha. “It costs less to feed them and takes less to maintain them and it is the largest payout for the product.” Cris is the main part of the work force on the farm. His three children, Amber, Jennifer, and Cristopher, have all worked before and after school. Cristopher is (continued to page 50)

They and their nine children, Devin, Kashan, Teresa, David, Michol, Lukas, Kaylie, Talychia, and Analeesa, have all been very active in the dairy industry and on their Silver Mist Jersey Farm. In 1991, Kevin and Annette purchased their first 12 Jerseys from Monte and Lois Kinsley of Mid-Oaks Jersey Farm. By 1993 the herd had grown to 67 cows and the couple moved to their present location. Now they are milking 460 Registered Jerseys and have a March 2010 rolling
Page 50
herd average of more than 16,000 lbs. milk. With the herd’s milk being sold to Tillamook Creamery, Kevin focuses on breeding for pounds fat and pounds protein. He also chooses sires that are strong in the height and width of rear udders with good teat placement. Sires they are currently using are Lencrest Blackstone-ET, BHFSSF Parade Louie-ET, Mason Lemvig Jacinto-ET, “Louie,” and a wide variety of young sire semen. Two bulls that Kevin and Annette are still using in their herd come from one of their most well-known cow families—SilMist RMBM Buttons Brazo-ET and SilMist Montana Blair 3753-ET. The two are maternal brothers out of Sil-Mist Berretta Buttons, Excellent-92%, with more than 23,000 lbs. milk. She had six sons go into A.I. service and has eight daughters all appraised Very Good-83% or higher. Three have produced more than 22,000 lbs. milk. The REAP herd is identif ied with JerseyTags and is a contract advertiser in the Jersey Journal. The herd is fed green chop and grass silage. Heifers are kept on the farm until weaning and then sent to a heifer grower and return right before calving. Kevin and Annette received the Young Jersey Breeder award in 1998.

jobs off the farm. Their herd had grown from a milking herd of 32 Holsteins and Jerseys to the current herd size of more than 400 Registered Jerseys. In November 2000, the same month “Peg” was named National Champion, Shannon and Julie were able to convert their mixed herd to all Jerseys and they have never looked back. A functional cow with longevity, production and type is what the Lourenzos are looking to breed. After the most recent type appraisal the herd averaged 82% on 408 cows with 29 Excellents and 266 Very Good cows. Sires they are currently using in the herd are Forest Glen Avery Action, ISDK Q Impuls and Tollenaars Impuls Legal 233-ET. They use some sexed semen as they are still in an expansion mode. The herd is housed in a freestall facility and milked in a double-12 parabone parlor. Calves are raised in individual pens at birth and fed pasteurized milk, which has helped tremendously with raising healthier, heartier calves. After weaning the calves are moved to transition group pens with lock ups and then to loose housing. Shannon and Julie know they are (continued to page 52)

fortunate to love what they do. “Being in this business would be very tough if you truly didn’t love it and the lifestyle that comes with it,” said Julie. Their three children have the same appreciation for the rural life. Brock, a freshman in high school, helps out as much as he can on the farm. Their daughters Lexi, 13, and Laci, 9, also enjoy the benefits of agricultural life. All three children are active in 4-H and enjoy participating at the county fair with their projects.
Paul and Diane Staehley, left, and Debbie Timm, right, are partners in Staehely’s Valley Veue Jerseys. They are pictured with Debbie’s daughter, Barbie, and Valley Veue Jace Hickory who has produced two records over 20,000 lbs. milk.
Staehely’s Valley Veue Jerseys Paul and Diane Staehely and Debbie Timm of Oregon City, operate under the motto of “We have to be better, we can’t just be lax. The consumer wants to know where their milk is from and that the cows are getting good care.”
Because of this philosophy, Valley Veue herd has been ranked nationally in the top three herds for quality by their milk processor, Horizon Organic, for the last five years. Though the farm has been operating for nearly 100 years, it wasn’t until 2001 that Jerseys came to Staehley’s Valley Veue. Paul and Diane Staehley had been milking Holsteins on the farm and Debbie Timm’s daughter, Barbie Payzant, had been working for them. She broached the subject of moving her mom’s Jerseys to the herd. They agreed and in August, Debbie and Barbie moved their herd of Jerseys to Oregon City. One year later, the herd transitioned to an organic dairy and they have continued to improve each year on their practices. Today the herd numbers more than 450 milking cows among three breeds. The Jerseys total 95 milking cows and 103 heifers. The herd is enrolled on REAP and Timm views the program as a tool that helps them breed a more profitable Jersey. She breeds for strong udders and feet and legs so the cows can graze more efficiently. Sires they are using include, Cave Creek Kwartz, “Louie,” “Action,” “Headline,” and “Blackstone.” The farm work is split between the partners. Debbie and Diane take care of all of the cow management, leaving Paul free to work with grazing and grass work. He monitors the grasses regularly and is currently working with two types of rye and orchard grass. The herd is grazed from April until late fall. They are housed in a freestall facility and milked twice daily in
a double-six herringbone parlor. Relaxation and enjoying the resources they have been given are vital to the success of this trio. Not only do they work well together, but the cows have blended as well as the families.
Smokey and Joanne Seals and their sons, Jeff and Tom, along with Tom’s wife Jennie and son, Coltan, own and operate Sun Valley Jersey Farm in Cloverdale. The farm is one of the tour stops this summer.
Sun Valley Jersey Farm
The foundation of the Sun Valley Jersey herd traces back more than four generations of the Seals family. And today, three of those four generations are living on the Cloverdale farm. In 1969, Bearl “Smokey” Seals and Joanne married and took over Smokey’s family farm. Their three sons, Tom, Dave, and Jeff, have all been integral parts of the dairy over the years. Jeff and Tom and his wife, Jennie, and son, Coltan, work alongside Smokey and Joanne today. Dave and his wife, Kim, live in Harrisburg, Ore. In search of a better milk market, the family moved 200 miles north from Myrtle Point, Ore., to the present location of Cloverdale. The herd has grown to 425 milk cows and more than 400 replacements. The March 2010 rolling herd average for the herd is 16,400 lbs. milk, 820 lbs. fat and 603 lbs. protein. Milk is marketed to Tillamook County Creamery where they are paid a full fatcheese yield formula. In February 2010, the Sun Valley herd was the highest cheese yield herd shipping to the creamery. The production-bred REAP herd selects bulls to sire a high-component, great uddered cow that is built to last. Current sires being used are ISDK Q Impuls, Tollenaar Impuls Legal 233-ET, (continued to page 54)

Sunset Canyon Militia-ET, Sunset Canyon Matinee-ET, Norse Star Triumph-ET, and Margandale Cherry Champ-ET. About 25% of the services in the herd are made to high genomic young sires. They currently have 23 cows listed on the April 2010 Top 1½% cows for JPI traditional list and nine bulls with April 2010 genetic summaries listed in the AJCA Green Book. Visitors will have an opportunity to visit Sun Valley Jerseys on Thursday, June 24, during the AJCA-NAJ Annual Meetings.

Sunset Canyon Jerseys
Breeding and marketing the best genetics available is the key to success at Sunset Canyon Jerseys, Beaver. Proof of that accomplishment is in the April 2010 sire and cows genetic lists. Sunset Canyon bulls dominate the PTA Fat category with the top four bulls. Sunset Canyon RP Militia-ET ranks fifth overall for JPI and leads the way in several categories, including #1 for Productive Life (+6.1), Cheese Merit Dollars (+573) and Net Merit Dollars (+502). His brothers, Sunset Canyon Matinee-ET and Sunset Maximus-ET both top categories of their own. “Matinee” is #1 for PTA Fat (+96) and “Maximus” is #1 for PTA Percent Fat (+0.58). A total of 10 Sunset Canyon-bred sires appear on the active A.I. list. Eric Silva and his wife, Paula Wolf, have built their business around breeding and owning the highest genetic merit
cows the breed has to offer. Currently on the Top 200 genomically tested female list, Sunset Canyon has 17 individuals listed with 10 of them in the Top 100. Ranking fourth in the breed is Pearlmont Restore Dixie-ET, an open yearling with a GPTA of +1,279M, +37F, +38P, +$491CM and a GJPI of +186. Her dam is Pearlmont Impuls Daffy, owned by Silva and neighbor Kara Hale. Both Eric and Paula grew up on Jersey farms and have developed an intense passion for the little brown cow and her capabilities. Paula’s home farm, Bettydon Jerseys in Washington, was known for its true production cows throughout the U.S. Before marrying Paula, Eric had built a solid reputation for Sunset Canyon Jerseys in Tulare, Calif. When they moved to the Tillamook area, they continued to have an open mind and think outside the box when it comes to their breeding program. Not only have they had success in marketing high genetics from their herd, but they have proven their worth in the show ring as well. In 2000, Sunset Canyon MBSB Anthem-ET was named the Winner of the National Jersey Jug Futurity. Several years later, Sunset Canyon Hallmark Belle 1-ET was named the Premier Performance Cow of The All American Jersey Show. Their two adopted sons, Sam and Valery, have become very active in the dairy as well, showing, working and learning pedigrees alongside Eric and Paula. Paula’s children, Nathan and Mollie Jensen, share that passion as well. Nathan is currently dairying in northern Tillamook County with his dad, Rick. Mollie and her husband visit as often as they can to share the agricultural life with their children. Sunset Canyon Jerseys will host the AJCC Research Foundation Benef it Auction on Thursday, June 24.
UHT Enterprises
Growing up on a Jersey farm in Indiana, Dan Upchurch was surrounded with some of the greatest herds in Jersey history. After graduating from high school, Maurice Core, past Executive Secretary of the American Jersey Cattle Club called
This sign marks the driveway of UHTCanaan Jerseys along Route 101S. The farm is owned by Dan Upchurch and is home to animals backed by some of the most illustrious cows in the breed.
Dan about a job at Hetherington Jerseys. Dan took the job and began a trip many could only dream about working with some of the most prolific Jerseys in the breed. After leaving Hetherington, Upchurch worked for Circle B Jerseys (now Brentwood Farms) and Moon Ridge Jerseys—all while building a herd of Registered Jerseys on his own. He traveled the show circuits caring for the show strings and helping to market cattle for herds such as Happy Valley, Vaucluse, Heaven Hill, and Pioneer Jersey Farm. These experiences helped him to build a business of buying and selling top quality cattle around the country. After farming on his own in Chico, Calif., for several years, Danny moved to Tillamook eight years ago and began dairying at his present location. He credits much of his success to two of his partners, Louise Castelanelli, Canaan Jerseys, and Sandi Hurtgen. UHT and Canaan Jerseys have been named Premier Breeder and Exhibitor at many local and regional shows. They have bred numerous show winners over the years, including UHT Canaan Legion Sunshine, the 2008 Reserve Winner of the National Jersey Jug Futurity and the 2010 Grand Champion of the Southern National Jersey Show for owner Buster Goff, Hobbs, N.M.

Tillamook herd. It began as a 4-H project for Don and has now grown to a 440 cow milking herd, with 283 of those being Jerseys. Helping on the farm are son Derrick and his wife Leslie, and son, D.J. Their daughter, Denise Porter, lives nearby on her husband’s Holstein farm. T h e J o s i ’s v i ew p r o d u c t i o n a s paramount. The herd has a 2009 AJCA lactation average of 19,343 lbs. milk, 886 lbs. fat and 701 lbs protein on 212 lactations. They breed for a functional type cow with high cheese yield abilities. Sires used in the herd must be high-component sires that deliver good udders. They are using several high genomic young sires in the herd as the family believes in the future of genomics. “Genomics have been good for Wilsonview,” said Don. “It has been another avenue for increased sales in our
herd.” High genetic merit is important to their marketing plan as there are 10 Wilsonview bred young sires currently in A.I. programs. Eleven cows currently rank on the top 1 ½% list for JPI and seven heifers rank among the top 500 JPI of the breed. Many of these descend from Quicksilver Many Merrit, the matriarch of their herd. One of her most prolific daughters is Wilsonview Saint Marie. She was appraised Excellent-92% and produced three records in excess of 21,000 lbs. milk and 1,000 lbs. fat and had 10 daughters appraised Excellent or Very Good and two sons in A.I. The Josi family farms 385 acres that they utilize for grass silage and for grazing the herd. They are enrolled in REAP and are contract advertisers in the Jersey Journal. The family has contributed to the AJCC Research fund, and supports local, state, regional and national sales. As Don and Desi are making room for the next generation at Wilsonview, they are in expansion mode. They recently purchased a neighboring dairy where they are milking Holsteins and breeding them to Jersey bulls. That latest acquisition has reiterated to the Josis just how efficient the Jersey breed is.
Woodstock Dairy
In 2011, Woodstock Dairy in Beaver will celebrate 100 years of Registered Jerseys. Family matriarch, Ruth Woods, has many fond memories through the years of the Jerseys and their unique personalities. She and her husband, Edwin, took over the management of the farm in the late 1950s from his father, Ollie. Today, her two sons, Wayne and Greg, own and operate the 170-head Registered Jersey herd, along with herdsman Dave Betz. The March 2010 rolling herd average was 17,094 lbs. milk, 788 lbs. fat and 637 lbs. protein on 171 cows. The breeding program at Woodstock centers around two well-marketed cow families: Woodstock Duncan Tina, Excellent-95%, and Woodstock Alf Leslie, Excellent-90%. “Leslie” is the dam o f “ L e x i n g t o n ,” “ L i e u t e n a n t ,”
Woodstock Duncan Tina, Excellent-95%, is perhaps the best cow that Wayne and Greg Woods have worked with. The brood cow has 12 daughters in the herd appraised Very Good or Excellent.
“Leland,” “Letterman,” and “Lennox,” all formerly on the active A.I. list. She has had six Very Good or Excellent daughters, with continued interest in the family from A.I.. One year ago, when the first calves where born on the Jersey Isle it was a “Lieutenant” daughter that was the first U.S. registered calf on the Isle. “Duncan Tina” is a favorite of Waynes. In 2007, “Tina” made the long trek to TransOva Genetics in Sioux Center, Iowa, to have in-vitro fertilization. The result was 19 live calves. Those daughters by SC Gold Dust Paramount Iatola-ET, Sooner Centurion-ET, BW Legion, and Belles Online-ET are now two-year-olds in the milking herd. “Tina” has 12 daughters appraised Very Good or Excellent to date. The Woods family believes in the REAP program and advertising in the Jersey Journal to improve their bottom line. Wayne breeds for balanced strength and dairyness with udders built to last for total longevity. The sires he chooses to mate the herd to must maintain a plus component level for their milk market at Tillamook Creamery. Sires they are currently using in the herd include: ISDK Q Impuls, Margandale Cherry Champ, Tollenaars Impuls Legal 233-ET, and Galaxies Celebrity-ET. Over the years the dairy has supported the Pot O’Gold Sale, All American Jersey Sale, Pride of the West Sale, and National Heifer Sale. Wayne and his wife, Lori, have three children, Emily, Stephanie and Austin, who have all participated in showing at the county fair. Greg and Melissa also have three children that are just beginning to help out with the cows.

South Carolina Jersey Breeders Annual Meeting
The town of Newberry played host for the South Carolina Jersey Cattle Association Annual Meeting (SCJCA) on January 16, 2010. Members met at the Country Club of Newberry where they began planning for the upcoming year’s activities and learning more about the dairy industry. A workshop based on milk futures and options filled the afternoon program while Alex Gulotta of Valley Futures Trading, Weyauwega, Wisc., talked to the SCJCA members. He is President of Valley Futures Trading, LLC, and has been managing market risks for over 25 years and provides hedging strategies to dairymen. President Phil Perry, Saluda, called the meeting to order and started into old business. He reported on a very successful field day from last summer at the farm of Herbert, Betty, Herby D. and Amanda Lutz, where more than 200 people were in attendance. Rick Doran, Newberry, chair of the Sale Committee gave an update on the Dixie Classic and Bush River and Treasure Chest combination sales that will be held at Bush River Farm, Newberry, during Labor Day weekend. Rick also updated members on the AJCA activities from the past year – the 10th best year ever, promising a bright future for the Jersey breed. The youth report was given by Cheryl Ettinger, Kinards, in which she announced the achievement awards and the 2010 South Carolina Jersey Queen. Achievement award winners were Bryce Horn, Chester, first place in the junior division, Brandon Horn, Chester, first place in the intermediate division and Douglas Chapples, Sumter, placing second in the intermediate division. The top production award went to Brandon Horn. Amber Ettinger, Kinards, was chosen to be the 2010 South Carolina Jersey Queen. The members also nominated four representatives for the Board of Directors: Rick Doran; L.D. Peeler, Starr; Phil Perry; and Glen Easter, Laurens. Officers for 2010 were also announced: President, Phil Perry; Vice President, Amanda Lutz; Secretary, Mike Loveless, Newberry, and Treasurer, Boyd Parr, Newberry.
Illinois Jersey Breeders Meet for Annual Meeting Members of the Illinois Jersey Cattle Club held its annual meeting on January 9, 2010, at the Bonanza Restaurant in Lincoln. Members heard good news about the status of the Jersey breed from Area Representative Ron Mosser of the American Jersey Cattle Association. Record-setting performance in key performance programs was attained in 2009, including registrations, herds and cows enrolled on REAP, appraisals and JerseyTag orders. Illinois Jersey Princess, Le Ann Spesard, Paris, spoke about upcoming dairy events at which she will promote the state association and the breed. Jersey juniors, Trent Kilgus, Fairbury, and Samantha Ropp, Strawn, were congratulated for placing first and second, respectively, in the National FFA Dairy Judging Contest held during the organization’s convention in Indianapolis, Ind., in 2009. Their team, coached by Jersey breeder, Darren Ropp, Strawn, also topped the contest and will travel to Ireland for international competition. Members approved a donation to the Prairie Central FFA in support of this event. The 2010 annual meeting of the Illinois Jersey Cattle Club will be held in conjunction with the all-breeds meeting of the Purebred Dairy Cattle Association at the Hawthorne Suites in Champaign. The PDCA meeting will be held December 10-11, 2010; the Jersey meeting is scheduled for December 11 at 10:30 a.m. Among the issues to be discussed is the outlook for the dairy program at the University of Illinois, which is uncertain due to finances. Jersey breeders were encouraged to support the Illinois State Sale, which will be held on May 15 at Marcoot Jersey Farm in Greenville. A new slate of officers was elected. Members elected to serve the organization in 2010 are: president, Bryan Marcoot, Greenville; vice president, Matt Kilgus, Fairbury; and secretary-treasurer, John Marcoot, Greenville.

YOUNG JERSEY BREEDER AWARDS
Seven Young Jersey Breeders to Be Honored
T
he AJCA Board of Directors has named seven recipients of the Young Jersey Breeder Award for 2010. They are Grant Ahlem, Hilmar, Calif.; Nathan and Abby Cline, Decorah, Iowa; Tim Covington, Leon, Iowa; Roger and Kate Deters, Fremont, Mich.; Phil and Christie Hansen, Canby, Ore.; Matt and Jenna Kilgus, Fairbury, Ill.; and Amanda Stiles Lutz, Chester, S.C. The first Young Jersey Breeder Awards were presented in 1976. Since then, more than 250 producers have received this award, including this year’s recipients. The Young Jersey Breeder Award is presented to individuals or couples under the age of 40 on January 1 of the year nominated who merit recognition for their expertise in dairy farming, breeding Jersey cattle, participation in American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) and National All-Jersey Inc. (NAJ) programs, and leadership in Jersey and other dairy and agriculture organizations. The 2010 honorees will receive their awards during the Young Jersey Breeders Banquet on Wednesday, June 23, at 7:00 p.m.

For Grant Ahlem, it’s been a lifetime of Jersey cows. With both of his parents, James (Jim) and Carol, coming from Jersey dairy farms, Grant earned many opportunities to learn and succeed. Before coming home to assume management responsibilities on the home farm, Grant was very active in 4-H, FFA and collegiate dairy organizations. In 1996, Grant was a member of the team that won the National FFA dairy cattle judging contest and continued on to compete at the Royal Highlands Show in Scotland. He was also very active in Jersey youth programs at the local, state and national levels, attending numerous AJCA-NAJ Annual Meetings with his parents. After high school, Grant attended college at California Polytechnic, San Luis Obispo, Calif., where he studied dairy science and ag business, and graduated in 2002. While at Cal Poly, Grant was a member of the Los Lecheros Dairy Club, and later met his wife, Melissa. Grant is also a graduate of the Western United Dairymen’s Dairy Leadership Program, a program devoted to helping California dairy farmers understand the
Both Nathan and Abby Cline were exposed to the world of dairy at an early age, being born and raised on farms in Iowa. Nathan is a second generation Young Jersey Breeder Award winner and fourth generation Jersey breeder: he is second to dairy at Golden Dream Jerseys in Decorah. Abby, however, came from a Holstein operation near St. Olaf. Although the quality and family atmosphere have stayed the same throughout the years, Golden Dream Jerseys has seen many significant changes. Nathan and Abby currently work with Nathan’s parents to manage Golden Dream Jerseys. Nathan returned to the family farm in 2002, after a stint as manager for a herd of 400 grade Holsteins in Minnesota, a job he took after graduating from Iowa State University with a Bachelor’s in Dairy Science. Abby graduated from Northern Iowa Area Community College in 2000, with an applied science degree in Industrial Engineering and Upper Iowa University in 2003 where she studied financial management and recieved a bachelor’s degree. She is currently working
A solid breeding plan is often times just as important as the cows you send through the rotation. Tim and Stephanie Covington, Covington Jerseys, Leon, Iowa, have found success with their Jersey herd through commitment to their breeding philosophy. Tim became steadily involved with Jersey cows in November of 1992 when his parents purchased 45 cows from Hatfield Jersey Farm, Leon, Iowa, owned by his grandparents. Up until that point, Tim had enjoyed assisting on the farm of his grandparents, but questioned the value of his parents owning their own herd. But it was not long before the cows won his heart and he has not looked back since. Tim immediately developed an interest in the genetics side of operating a dairy and spent much time studying pedigrees and analyzing bull catalogs. Unfortunately, his interest and love for Jerseys were not enough to keep the first-year disasters from plaguing their new operation. But thanks to family and friends, Covington Jerseys was able to survive their initial years to keep moving and develop quality cows. As he looked for opportunities to have a positive influence on the farm his parents had just purchased, Tim spent a few hours each morning at Hatfield Jerseys before returning home to work. In 1998, he decided to devote all of his time to the home farm and became a partner with his parents, hoping to become more involved with the industry as a whole. Tim had one of his first big opportunities

Matt and Jenna Kilgus Roger and Kate Deters
Matt and Jenna Kilgus have found the ultimate way to educate the public on how milk is produced: simply show them. At their home farm, bottling plant and dairy store in Fairbury, Ill., customers and tourists alike are invited to tour the facilities and watch the bottling process from start to finish. In June 2009, Matt and the Kilgus family decided to take advantage of their quality Jersey milk and build their own bottling facility. Through the use of the All-Jersey Queen of Quality® label, the Kilgus family is beginning to see the business take a positive turn. They are the only farmstead milk bottler in the state of Illinois and one of only a few bottlers marketing under the Queen of Quality label in the nation. These tools have
If you would have asked Roger and Kate Deters on their wedding day six years ago if they planned on milking cows for a living, they would have said no. Both held jobs in the agriculture industry and were very content with their careers. But six months after walking down the aisle, these newlyweds found themselves with the task of taking over the dairy that belonged to Kate’s parents. Hy-Capacity Dairy Farm, Fremont, Mich., is now home to 93 quality Registered Jerseys, a goal this young couple set to accomplish from the start. When the Deters took over the herd, there were 35 lactating cows with some being crossbred and less than 20% being registered. There were only handwritten records kept on a handful of animals, showing a September 2004 rolling herd average of 12,500 lbs. milk, 638 lbs. fat and 475 lbs. protein. The herd pregnancy rate was at 16% through natural service to unknown sires. It was obvious the Deters were going to have their hands full. Both Roger and Kate had a background in the dairy industry, so it was not long until they created a plan of action, identifying exactly what they would need to improve productivity, efficiency and genetic value of their herd. They started with management practices and where their time would best be spent. Their herd is currently using DHIA, providing these young Jersey breeders with the information they need to maintain the health and productivity of their animals. As their lactation and reproduction traits in addition to health information, are being recorded
Identifying top bulls and strengths and weaknesses of each cow comes natural for Phil Hansen having spent many years judging dairy cattle. With his strong judging background, Phil Hansen, Cascadia Farm, Canby, Ore., made it his goal to use top bulls that could make the biggest impact on his herd. His good eye has proved beneficial to help grow his herd within the family herd to 35 head from the first calf he bought at age 11 during a junior calf sale. Of his current group, 22 are milking cows and 13 are heifers, all Registered Jerseys. After purchasing his first Jersey cow, his interest in the dairy industry continued to develop. Starting at age 14, Phil regularly placed in the top 15 in the National Jersey Youth Production Contest, along with competing in FFA and 4-H judging competitions. Phil placed in the top 10 for the National Jersey Youth Achievement Award in 1989 and 1990, and the top 15 in 1991 and 1992. He also was high individual in the state 4-H dairy judging contest in 1994 and then continued on to place 26th in the national 4-H dairy judging contest. After high school, Phil attended Oregon State University where he was involved in the dairy club and dairy judging team, winning first place at the Richmond, Utah,
If one was to start reading the history of Amanda Stiles Lutz they might assume she had spent her entire life on the Jersey path. But what started as a simple and natural beginning when she was less than one-year-old proved to be a complex passage to where she is proud to be today. Amanda Stiles Lutz, Her-Man Jerseys, Chester, S.C., has owned Registered Jerseys for more than 25 years. She currently owns 141 Jerseys, 35 of which are direct descendants from her very first Jersey—SAR Advancing Generation Amanda. Amanda’s earliest childhood memories are of Jersey cows and halter breaking her first junior calf, “Penny,” for the show ring. But when she was eight- years-old,

in January of 2000 during the first type appraisal of their herd, in which three cows were appraised as Excellent and rounding out a herd average of 82 points. That same year, Tim became captivated by the show ring after winning a class at the Iowa State Fair and three classes and Reserve Champion at the Nebraska State Fair. After consistent success, Covington Jerseys won Premier Exhibitor and tied with Hatfield Jersey Farm for the Premier Exhibitor award in both Iowa and Nebraska State Fairs in 2004. Their most successful year to date was 2009 in Nebraska when they captured the titles of Premier Breeder and Exhibitor, Reserve Champion, Honorable Mention Champion, and most significantly, Grand Champion, a designation that had eluded them until then. The Reserve Supreme Champion banner was also taken home by the Covingtons that day. The Covingtons have also had a great deal of success outside of the show arena. Over the years, they have sold more than 300 head of Jersey replacement heifers and breeding stock, while having purchased less than 50. This is an aspect of their operation that has helped maintain bottom-line profitability by participating in sales by the Jersey Marketing Service, silent auctions, and private sales like the Dairyland Protein Sale, Top of the World, All American, Illinois Invitational and the Spring of Excellence Sale. In the past six years, the Covingtons have sold 96 head at the Dairyland Protein Sale, three of those
being the overall top seller. Their breeding plan primarily focuses on creating cows that will last a long time and milk well. By emphasizing good udders along with type traits, milk and components, their cows have done just that. The Covington’s currently own 140 registered Jerseys with a December 2009 rolling herd average of 15,669 lbs. milk, 777 lbs. fat and 544 lbs. protein on 67 cows. Because their heifers are all pasture bred, Tim has been very particular about the type of bulls used for their mating, using only well pedigreed herd bulls. They have used numerous bulls from Hatfield Jerseys and Brentwood Farms, Orland Calif. Some of their favorite bulls from those farms have been Duncan Chief Stardom, Sherri-Lee Duncan Rocky-ET, Berrettas Top Luck Denny and DC Loras Legacy, BW Magic Woody, BW Legion and BW Carrington. But in 2002 when the Covington’s were looking to increase their components, they relied on Sunset Canyon Michael, a son of component queen, Tenn Haug E Maid. Tim states this to be the best purchase they ever made, using “Michael” heavily before having him collected and sold to other breeders. In 2006 after his first proof, “Michael” was added to the Top 100 list, and has been a regular to that list ever since. Tim is very thankful for the guidance he has received from the Hatfiled Jersey Farm, Sunset Canyon Jerseys, Brentwood Farm and Lyon Jerseys, all Jersey breeders that have made a significant impact on him over the years. He credits them and many
others for helping to make him a better Jersey breeder and dairy farmer. Tim also made additions to his family, marrying Stephanie Nickell in December of 2005 after meeting her and her son Greyden, 7, in the spring of that year. The couple has had two children together, Brenden, 2, and Camden, 6 months. Greyden is now helping Tim show some of their heifers at local shows, and enjoys all things farming. Brenden is also starting to enjoy the delights of farming as he ventures out onto the farm. With a business plan to breed top quality registered Jerseys that are profitable to milk, last for several lactations and produce valuable offspring, Tim and Stephanie are looking forward to their farm serving them, and their children in the future.

full time with the Upper Explorerland Regional Planning Commision and has been serving in the 132nd Fighter Wing with the Iowa Air National Guard, Des Moines, where she has achieved captain’s rank. Abby became involved with Jerseys when the couple married in December 2005. The Clines have been through many transitional phases in the past four years. In 2006, they constructed a new doubleeight parabone milking parlor and 67 x 192’ hoop barn. In 2008 after nearly eight years of being an organic dairy they made the move back to conventional processes. Later that same year the Clines sent their (continued to page 72)

first Golden Dream bred bull into A.I. They are now milking 100 Registered Jerseys with a rolling herd average of 16,049 lbs milk, 825 lbs. fat and 594 lbs. protein. The milk produced at Golden Dream Jerseys is marketed through Wapsie Valley Creamery, Independence, on a cheese yield basis. The Cline family currently works 160 acres of land and the cattle rotationally graze for the duration of the growing season. During the winter and inclement weather, the cows find home in the 105-stall freestall barn that was converted from the original hoop barn’s compost bedded pack. Nathan and Abby have also had success in the show ring with their Golden Dream herd, frequenting shows like the Iowa State Fair, National Cattle Congress and the All American Jersey Show. In 2009, they were recognized as both Reserve Premier Breeder and Reserve Premier Exhibitor at the Iowa State fair, a first for both. Along with a knack for developing show cattle, Nathan has had an interest
with the genetics side of breeding. After returning to the family farm, he began taking over the primary sire selection and mating. Even more, Nathan has a fascination with polled cattle, leading him to develop several young polled cows. Two of those polled first crop daughter have been appraised E-90% in their early second lactation that are producing in exceptional fashion. In addition to the two polled daughters, the Cline’s have 27 cows that have been appraised as Excellent, with several cows compiling more than 100,000 lbs. of milk in their lifetime. The cows at Golden Dream Jerseys are almost 100% home-bred, with only two cows in the entire herd being purchased from outside markets. Thanks to the longevity of the herd, the Clines are able to market between 10-20 head per year, as well as the 4-5 breeding bulls. One of those bulls, Golden Dream Iatola Magnificent, was the first Jersey young sire sampled through International Protein Sires, and is still distributing semen in the United States and four other countries. The breeding plan the young couple
rely on includes a strong emphasis on type traits, high components and longevity. Nathan and Abby are strong proponents of using well-bred young sires to meet the herd’s reproductive goals. In the history of the herd there have been 33 Excellent cows that have come from unproven bulls. They are currently a REAP herd and participate in the Jersey Mating Program, Equity program and the Jersey regional young sire sampling program. As they move forward with their herd at Golden Dream Jerseys, Nathan and Abby have many plans for the future to improve their dairy and farming operation, including the eventual acquisition of the farm from Nathan’s parents, additional manure storage, new heifer facilities and the possibility of purchasing more land. With a clear set of goals and strong knowledge of the dairy industry, this young couple plans on continued excellence in the parlor and on the show circuit.

they are able to identify and correct issues as quickly as possible. With regular guidance from their veterinarian, nutritionist and personal banker, the Deters have surrounded themselves with a solid education and support system. As they began building what they hoped to be a more unified herd, Roger and Kate relied on Jersey bulls in A.I. to accomplish their breeding goals. They take great pride in making sure their breeding program is achieving the ultimate hybrid vigor of their animals, creating a more functional animal that will provide longevity and productivity to their herd. In addition to their commitment to Jersey bulls, Roger and Kate only purchase Registered Jersey cows and replacement heifers when they make additions to their herd. In 2008, they enrolled in REAP and now register their calves through the Genetic Recovery Program, allowing them to be well on their way to being a fully registered herd. They are currently managing 72 milking cows and 56 replacement heifers. Their rolling herd average as of January of 2010 was 16,648 lbs. milk, 791 lbs. fat and 614 lbs. protein with an average of 180 days in milk. The herd pregnancy rate
May 2010
is now at 25% with a 13.2 month calving interval – all a significant improvement from six years ago. With the quality growth of their herd, Roger and Kate became motivated to compete in state Jersey shows, and eventually the national shows. A highlight for the couple came when their cow Maple Arbor Sultan Anabel won the 25th Annual Michigan Jersey Futurity and eventually placed within the top 10 of the junior and open shows in Louisville and Madison. But as they spent time in the show ring, they were able to meet other Jersey breeders who helped steer them through the different challenges they faced on their farm. As the Deters learn and develop, they have found themselves very active in numerous aspects of the Jersey and dairy industry. Both are members of the Michigan Jersey Cattle Club, while Kate holds a position on the Old Newaygo DHIA Board and Roger is active with the Newaygo County Fair Association’s Dairy Committee. They are thankful for their faith and family, which they felt have played a large role in their success. With their three young children becoming more directly involved in the farming activities, Roger and Kate look forward to sharing the hard work and standard of ethics they feel is being proudly displayed on
their farm and in their family. Even though they did not anticipate a lifetime with Jersey cows five years ago, the Deters cannot imagine their lives in any other fashion.

her parents decided to sell the land they had been farming and lease their Jersey herd to three different dairy farms in Virginia. The Stiles family continued to raise replacement heifers on their new farm in Woodstock, Va. As her older siblings left the farm for college, Amanda was given more responsibility caring for the younger animals. It was still the summer months that meant the most to Amanda, preparing her animals for the show ring and spending quality time with her family as they traveled. One of the most memorable moments of her youth was when a cow she had bred and exhibited, SAR Imperial Annie, a granddaughter of her “Amanda” cow, was named Grand Champion at the North Carolina State Fair in 2000. “Annie” continued on that year to be named the best bred and owned aged cow in The All American Junior Jersey Show in (continued to page 75)

judging contest. During his time at Oregon State, Phil studied animal science with a dairy production option, leading to many opportunities. He received two work-study scholarships in which he worked on a dairy nutrition research project and a summer internship, working with extension agent Mike Gangwer. While working with Mike, Phil helped with a relay crop research project, trying to solve some of the manure problems in the dairy industry. After graduation, Phil returned to his family dairy where he took over sire selection, mating, embryo transplanting and marketing. He handles a large portion of the feeding and most of the manure management and has continued his love for judging, evaluating dairy shows for three Oregon county fairs. Phil has also sold animals and embryos in the All American sale and the Pride of the West sale, where he sold Cascadia Impuls Eleanora-ET. “Eleanora� later went on to rank on the Top 200 JPI Cow list for her new owners. Phil also takes great pride in the breeding of his animals. His goal is simple: breed the best cows possible. The top priority on his family farm is to use bulls with good udder traits and positive components, with a specific focus on rear udder height and width and udder depth. The November 2009 rolling herd average on 128 cows on Cascadia Farm is 15,420 lbs. milk, 674 lbs. fat and 560 lbs. protein. When it comes to the individual cows breeding plans, Phil focuses much attention to avoiding inbreeding. By always looking one generation ahead and using the Expected Future Inbreeding report, he can leave as many options as possible for the future offspring. After consideration for future matings, Phil decides on what the individual cow needs for genetic improvement. Another project Phil has taken on has been the production of Jersey beef, which he credits all to his wife, Christie. As they were discussing ways to diversify on their farm, Christie suggested raising and selling grass-fed Jersey beef at their local farmers market. They have been quite successful in this new venture, developing a steady following of consumers who love the taste and tenderness of the brown cows meat. As Phil Hansen continues to use his passion for dairy judging to help build and improve his herd of Registered Jersey cows, he can be sure he has planned carefully to provide many opportunities in the future of Cascadia Farm.

Louisville. Awards that all provided many valuable memories for Amanda and her family. In the time between the selling of her parent’s farm and the beginning of her own Jersey farm, Amanda still stayed very active in the dairy industry. As she went through middle school, high school and even college, Amanda held a job on a neighbors Holstein farm where she worked weekends and summers and gained valuable experience. After high school graduation, she attended Virginia Tech where she studied dairy science and was active with the dairy club and the collegiate dairy judging team, excelling in both. She also was named Jersey champion twice during the Little All-American Dairy Show, and won overall champion her senior year. After college, Amanda went to work on a commercial Holstein farm that housed 300 cows. While working as the herdsperson for this herd, Amanda gained not only priceless experience, but the appreciation of a “well balanced, functional, worry-free dairy cow,” something she feels is sometimes taken for granted in Jersey cows. In the time between her junior year at Virginia Tech and her employment at the Holstein farm, Amanda’s sister decided it was time to start her own dairy operation, once again uniting the family’s original herd. Amanda began to realize she missed the ease of her Jersey cows, and left the Holsteins to re-join her family operation. Amanda began working alongside her sister making herd health decisions, milking, calf care, rearing replacements and breeding and making reproductive decisions – all while developing her own Jersey herd. After marrying fellow Jersey breeder, Herby Lutz, in June of 2005, Amanda left her sister and father to pursue her own ambitions and goals. In May of 2007, Amanda and Herby moved her herd to his farm, Sunny Day, in South Carolina. Establishing the prefix Her-Man Jerseys, Amanda and Herby now have a wellrecognized herd, winning numerous awards over the years. In 2009, for the first time, they sent one of their bulls into A.I., and during that same year the Grand Champion Jersey at the South Carolina Fair was a cow bred and owned by Sunny Day Jerseys. As of December 2009, the rolling herd average for her Registered Jersey herd was 18,622 lbs. milk, 878 lbs. fat and 664 lbs. protein on 76 cows. Amanda May 2010
is also very involved in the national and state Jersey associations. She participates in the Jersey REAP program and the Young Sire Sampling program and was recently named the South Carolina Jersey Breeders (SCJBA) association vice president. In addition to her involvement with the SCJBA, she is currently chair of the National Jersey Jug Futurity Committee for the AJCA. As Amanda reflects back to her very first Jersey cow “Amanda,” she can see the winding path that led her to where she is now was full of new challenges and great success. The couple welcomed
their first child, Herbert Daniel “Hobbs” Lutz III, in December of 2009 and look forward to sharing their love for the Jersey breed with the next generation.

enabled them to carve out a beneficial spot for themselves in the dairy market. Like many Jersey breeders, Matt grew up very involved in Jersey youth activities and dairy judging competitions. His love for the breed began when he was in junior high school and his parents purchased their first group of Jersey cows, allowing them to begin the transition to a full herd of brown cows. They currently have 111 heifers and 90 cows, 80 of which are producing milk for the bottling plant. Ten months ago the Kilgus’ were selling 700 gallons of milk every week, now they have more than tripled their quota to 2,200 gallons every week. Their goal is to add a few more cows to their herd and produce between 3,000-3,500 gallons of milk to be sold every week, all the while increasing the overall genetic quality of their Jersey herd. Their December 2009 rolling herd average was 16,215 lbs. milk, 747 lbs. fat and 587 lbs. protein on 90 cows. Helping them along the way has been the marketing advantage of the Queen of Quality label. Since every bottle of milk they put on the shelves features the Jersey milk label, consumers are able to easily identify the high protein and calcium content of the milk; components in which the Kilgus’ have a 13% advantage compared to other brands as shown by lab testing conducted by National All-Jersey Inc. They also participate in the Jersey REAP
and Equity programs. The goal of starting the plant was to be able to bring more of their family into the operation, with Matt’s focus shifting to more of the business side and away from managing the herd. An added effect has been their opportunity to be an educational stop for consumers taking an interest in the dairy products they consume, a growing trend in our culture. They believe showing people not only how the animals are cared for, but how the milk is collected and processed, is the key to future success in the dairy industry. More than 1,000 people visited the farm during their inaugural farm tour 10 months ago, giving the Kilgus family high expectations for this summer’s tour season. In addition to their tour program, their farm is also visited by an “adopted” grade school class from Chicago each year, a project through the Young Farmers group within Farm Bureau. As well as their annual visit to the farm, the children receive regular updates from the dairy and an inclass visit from the Kilguses. Matt and Jenna have also made it a priority to sell quality breeding stock throughout the year and find it equally important to pick up new stock to bring new blood lines into their herd. The herd has been rotationally grazed for the past six years; something Matt and Jenna feel has improved their bottom line. They hope to maintain a herd size that will continue to optimize the grazing capabilities of the Jersey cow. The Kilgus farm also serves as host to various 4-H, FFA and college judging team events; something Matt and Jenna both had success with in their youth. In high school, they were both members of an FFA dairy judging team that captured a state title and eventually finished second in the national competition. As a result of their success, they traveled abroad to Scotland to judge at the Royal Highland Show and learn about the Scottish dairy industry. Matt also was a member of the Joliet Junior College dairy judging team, the Illinois state 4-H team during the 2000 World Dairy Expo and has played host family for the Illinois Jersey Cattle sale. The couple is members of the Livingston County Young Farmers and Prairie County FFA alumni. Matt is currently serving a two-year term as Vice President of the Illinois Jersey Cattle Club, and is a member of the Board of Directors for the Livingston County Farm Bureau, the Board of Deacons for the First Presbyterian Church and still enjoys being able to judge 4-H contests and shows. The ultimate reward for Matt and Jenna Kilgus will be creating a truly sustainable (continued to page 78)

many issues impacting them on their farms. The course consists of marketing and media training, state legislative process, economics, environmental issues and federal issues in Washington D.C. during the conclusion of the assembly. Upon graduation, Grant returned home and began working with the cows on a daily basis, gradually taking over the feeding programs, purchasing and then other duties on the farm before starting his current responsibilities. Grant is currently serving as general manager at his family farm, James Ahlem Dairy and JADE Jerseys, but it does not stop there. In addition to the tasks of overseeing a 3,000-cow operation, Grant has many other ventures, including a partnership with his father and brother, Vance, on a 2,000-cow operation, Ahlem Foothill Farms in Denair. As General Manager, Grant spends the majority of his time with the analysis of the operations, contracting milk and feed, market hedging and cost accounting. Grant is also responsible for the environmental
Page 78
compliance programs at all farms and breeding programs, including the selection of bulls that are used. Between the James Ahlem Dairy, JADE Jerseys and Ahlem Foothills, Grant owns nearly 1,000 head of Registered Jerseys. The rolling herd average as of December 2009 was 20,480 lbs. milk, 927 lbs. fat and 720 lbs. protein on 2,100 milking cows. The herd participates in the Jersey Mating Program, REAP and contributes to Equity. Another endeavor Grant is currently part of is the Ahlem A-5 Ranch, a 2,000-acre farm in Dalhart, Texas. He is also a partner in the Dalhart Jersey Ranch, a 19,000 head heifer facility. In addition to all his many ventures, Grant is serving on the Central Valley DHIA board and the Central Valley Jersey Breeders board, is president of the Dalhart Jersey Ranch board, a partner in the Hilmar Cheese Company and serves on the selection committee for Jerseyland Sires. As Grant continues working with his close-knit family to develop their many ventures, he will have the opportunity to share his passion and commitment with his own children, Jacob, 3, and Reese, 1.

Get Transfers In Order For Junior Show Season A new year, and parents’ thoughts turn to, “What are the kids’ project animals going to be this year?” The next question goes like this: Please advise me as to what steps a junior (under 20 years of age) needs to take in order to show a Jersey at all shows. Can an animal be leased or does the animal need to be transferred into the junior’s ownership? The answer is simple. File a transfer of ownership so that the junior is listed as a Recorded Owner on the registration certificate.
Ownership rules vary from state to state. Some do allow leasing. Others allow animals to be registered in the farm name, but require that paperwork be completed and filed certifying that an animal is the junior’s 4-H or FFA project. What about the All American Junior Jersey Show, the biggest junior Jersey show of the year? The ownership policy is as follows: Animals must be registered in the Herd Register of the American Jersey Cattle Association or by the Canadian Jersey Cattle Club. The exhibitor must be listed as Recorded Owner on the registration certificate, either (1) as the sole owner or (2) by his/her name in joint ownership. If the joint ownership includes more than one eligible exhibitor, one of them must be declared as the exhibitor during check-in. Animals must be registered and/or transferred to meet one of the above ownership requirements no later than August 1, 2010. The recording date is the postmark date and will be considered the date of registration and/or transfer. So, submit the transfer of ownership as soon as you figure out which animals are going to be the projects this year. That one step will save you the effort of researching the exhibitor ownership requirements for all the shows you are considering. A final note: Exhibitors at the All American Junior Jersey Show are also required to be members (junior or lifetime) of the American Jersey Cattle Association. Applications for membership are available online at www.usjersey.com.

member of Ohio Farm Bureau and Sebring Presbyterian Church. He received the Good Neighbor award from the Ohio Livestock Coalition and Ohio Farm Bureau and was named the Conservationist of the Year by Mahoning County Soil and Water. Bill and his family understand that there are a large percentage of people who have not been exposed to farming and agriculture, so are working to educate consumers about a dairy farm and Jersey cattle. Grammer Jersey Farm was selected as the Ohio dairy farm representative of the FarmersFeedUS project sponsored by the Center for Food Integrity earlier this year. As well, the dairy was featured in the January/February 2010 issue of the Ohio Farm Bureau magazine, Our Ohio. The family has also hosted the Mahoning County Dairy Twilight Tour and events sponsored by Monsanto and COBA/Select Sires and hosted the Ohio State Jersey Picnic at their farm. Bill’s goals and philosophies are represented in his success with Jersey cattle. He’s been able to maintain production even while expanding the herd thanks to the Jersey’s reproductive efficiency and his herd management skills. Page 86

works on the farm as well, making him the fourth generation to be involved in the family operation. Sorenson’s Hillview Jersey Farm is now 550 acres, a member of REAP and consists of 96 cows and 85 replacement heifers, 95% of which are home-bred. A few animals have been purchased, including granddaughters of Duncan Belle and Golden MBSB of Twin Haven-ET. The most notable cow bred on the farm is Hillview Trader Babka, Excellent-92%. “Babka” produced 32,598 lbs. milk and 2,100 lbs. fat in 365 days at 6-0 and became the second Jersey in breed history to produce more than a ton of fat in a single lactation. The 2009 AJCA lactation average on 85 cows is 19,549 lbs. milk, 941 lbs. fat and 692 lbs. protein. Cows from the farm have been exported to several different countries, including the pilot program, which sent heifers to China. Jersey genetics have also been exported to Canada and several Central American countries. Sorenson was the recipient of the AJCA’s Young Jersey Breeder Award in 1982, the first for Wisconsin. That same year, he and Cheryl were selected as one of the state’s top Young Farm Bureau couples. In 2003, Sorensen was named Senior Breeder by the Wisconsin Jersey Breeders Association (WJBA). He has served as president and vice president of the WJBA. He was cochairman of the 1978 National Heifer Sale, served on the sale committee of The All American Jersey Sale and recently was a member of the All-American Show Committee. In the 1980s, Sorenson worked with Jersey Marketing Service on the Protein Sales. He was a charter member of Dairyland Jersey Sires Inc., and worked with National All-Jersey Inc. Sorenson has been instrumental in helping others get a start in the Jersey business by consigning to the state sale, several national sales and selling privately. Currently he is town chairman and a member of the local school board. He has been president of his church, Farm Bureau and the 4-H Leaders Association. (continued to page 88)

Steer’s start in herd management came early. In 1971, when Charles was just 17, his father passed away and he and his brother, Robert, took over management of the family’s Greenwood Jersey Farm near Ninety Six, S.C. After he graduated from Clemson University, Steer formed a partnership with Robert and became the fourth generation to manage Jerseys at Greenwood Jersey Farm. In 1990, the partnership was dissolved and Steer and his family moved to a rented farm in Texas. Several years later, the family purchased the farm in Cottage Grove and established Sunbow Jerseys. Steer was influential in the creation of Dixieland Jersey Sires Inc., in 1985. He served on the first board of directors and helped chart the direction of the country’s first regional young sire proving group. Sunbow Jerseys is a regular consignor at many regional and national sales, including the National Heifer Sale, The All American Jersey Sale, the Dixie Invitational and Southeast Heifer Growers North Sale and the Deep South/Southeast Heifer Growers South Sale. Each year, Sunbow Jerseys sponsors the award for the highest-producing cow in The All American Junior Jersey Show. Steer received the AJCA Master Breeder Award in 2004 and the organization’s

Young Jersey Breeder award in 1981. He co-chaired the 1979 National Heifer Sale and Carolina Invitational Sales. He is a former director of the South Carolina Jersey Cattle Club and was awarded the Young Dairyman of the Year award at the annual South Carolina Dairy Conference in 1980. Steer’s knowledge of the dairy industry, his experience in breeding a productionoriented herd of Registered Jersey cows and his dedication to improved Jersey genetics will make him a continued asset to the AJCA Board of Directors.

Genomic evaluations are calculated from one of three sources of information. The source is identified in the column labeled GT as follows: T, cow/heifer was genotyped; I, genotype for cow was imputed from genotypes of progeny, but the cow is not genotyped; and A, 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.

Iowa Breeders Attend to Business at Meeting
Iowa Jersey breeders gathered for their annual meeting on March 26, 2010, at the Country Hills Restaurant in West Union. Members attended to club business, recognized award winners and were brought up-to-date on industry events. Kari Lien, Calmar, was congratulated for winning the Iowa Jersey Breed Award and will compete in the National Jersey Youth Achievement Contest, with winners announced this fall. Tim and Stephanie Covington, Leon, and Nathan and Abby Cline, Decorah, were also recognized for being named Young Jersey Breeders by the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA). They will be honored at the Annual Meetings of the AJCA and National All-Jersey Inc. (NAJ) this summer in Portland, Ore. Area Representative Leah Johnson relayed record-setting statistics from the national Jersey organizations in 2009. The possibility of holding a youth sale and production contest similar to the Pot O’Gold program sponsored by the AJCA and those offered by several other state associations was discussed by members and a committee established to set up the program. Heading the committee is Brian Lantzky, Hawkeye. Other members of the committee are Harvey Metzger, Larchwood, and Nathan and Abby Cline. Jersey breeders were encouraged to attend upcoming Jersey events. The Iowa State Fair Junior Jersey show will be held on August 12. The open show will be on August 14, with Bryan Marcoot, Greenville, Ill, serving as the official. The Iowa State University Dairy Club will sponsor the “I Milked a Cow” exhibit and the Boulevard of Breeds with cattle from Lyon Jerseys, Toledo, and Brandon, Andrea and Colt Churchill, Altoona. Members also selected the judge for the 2011 open show—Jeff Core, Salvisa, Ky. The Top Ten Sale will be held on September 16 in Waterloo and the 100th anniversary of the National Cattle Congress will be celebrated the following day, on September 17. Applications for the club’s scholarship, princess and breed awards are due June 15. They are available on the IJCC website at www.iowajerseys. com and should be submitted to Jennifer Zumbach. Winners will be announced at the summer picnic, to be hosted by the Horst family of Bristow. Members discussed the possibility of publishing a joint winter issue of the Iowa Jersey Today with the Iowa Ayrshire
Breeders Association as the Ayrshire breeders do not currently have a state publication. The issue would feature sale consignments of the spring sale, which auctions both breeds. Additional discussion will be held during the summer picnic.

Active A.I. Bulls Ranked By GJPI, April 2010 The 117 Jersey bulls listed are coded as Active A.I. for the April 2010 USDA-AJCA Sire Summary. Bulls have a minimum 70% Reliability and are ranked by genomic Jersey Performance IndexTM (GJPI) which combines production and type trait information into a single economic index. JPI includes six factors: 42% PTA Protein, 15% PTA Fat, 15% FTI, 12% PTA PL, 10% PTA DPR, and 6% PTA SCS. Bulls marked with an asterisk (*) in the G column have genomic evaluations. The eight bulls that are not genomically tested are listed with their traditionally calculated evaluation. These 117 bulls average +484M, +30F, +18P; for Lifetime Net Merit, Cheese Merit +$238; Net Merit +$220, and Fluid Merit NAME OF BULL

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. At the March 2010 meeting of the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) Board of Directors, the rules of Genetic GJPI GJPI REL NAME OF BULL
