Columbus, Ohio, is home to The Ohio State University Waterman Dairy. Located just minutes from the Ohio Capitol in downtown Columbus and part of the 1,700-acre campus, Waterman Dairy houses a newly allJersey herd. The dairy farm is located in the Waterman Agricultural and Natural Resources Laboratory which is home to other university departments such as horticulture, floriculture, apiculture, turf grass management, forestry, wetlands and crop science. At the end of September, there are 78 cows in milk and more calving to increase the herd to 100 cows. For the August 31 test day, the herd averaged 50.1 lbs milk with components of 4.2% fat and 3.5% protein. Featured on this month’s cover are six of 31 new members of the Waterman herd. The animals are donations from a group of Ohio Jersey breeders to support the new Jerseycentered teaching, research and community outreach efforts. The six pictured, from left, came from Tom Cooperrider, Croton, Ohio; Alan and Sharon Kozak, Millersburg, Ohio; Tom and Rosalie Noyes, Wooster, Ohio; the Scarlet & Gray Friends of Waterman Dairy; Doug and Rhonda Billman, Burbank, Ohio; and Scott Lindsay, New Waterford, Ohio.

INDUSTRY NEWS

Jerseys: Core of the Waterman Dairy Mission Editor’s note: This past April, after a period of extensive study, the dairy located on the main campus of The Ohio State University, Columbus, began to transition from a mixed Holstein and Jersey operation to an all-Jersey herd. Ohio State student Stephanie Adams relates the story of how Jerseys are now at the core of the university’s Waterman Dairy Center and its mission of teaching, research and outreach.

y story is quite different when you compare it to a typical student interested in dairy science. While in high school, I was actively involved in 4-H, FFA, and the Madison County Junior Fair Board in London, Ohio. I knew I wanted to attend The Ohio State University since I was four years old. However, not once did I ever think about entering into an agriculture related field. I started my freshman year at Ohio State with a major in anthropology. During spring quarter, I decided to take the introductory animal sciences course. Labs were part of the curriculum and for the first few weeks we did tours of all the animal facilities. One of the labs took us to The Ohio State University Waterman Dairy Center. I immediately fell in love with the cows. At the time, I was looking for a summer job and it was just my luck that the dairy happened to be hiring. By the end of the summer, I had learned so much about dairying that I was hooked. I wanted to know more. I quickly changed my major to animal sciences with an emphasis on dairy. Four years later, I am now the Buckeye Dairy Club President, a competitor in the Cargill Dairy Challenge for the past two years, a member of the American Dairy Science Association-Student Affiliation Division, and an intern at USJersey. I do all of this and still have time to milk cows at Waterman. I owe my entire future to Waterman and I can only hope that the Waterman Dairy Center will continue to have an impact on students for many more generations. Brief History Anna Waterman managed the Waterman Farm from 1905 until it was sold to The Ohio State University in 1923. It

When students arrive back at The Ohio State University Dairy for autumn quarter, they will find that the Waterman Dairy has taken on a new color—brown. The mixed herd recently sold the Holstein herd to add all Jerseys. Pictured with a calf from one of the donated heifers is the summer work force. With the calf are Patricia Tenzek and Jenni Kafer.

has been said, she actually settled for less money than the land was worth at the time because she wanted to insure that students would continue to learn about agriculture on the farm for generations to come. While the university had dairy cattle operations, their permanent home at Waterman was not established until 1972. The mission was to teach and do research out at the Waterman Center. Today, outreach has also been added to its mission. This has made the Waterman Dairy Center a unique place for people, from all walks of life, to experience dairy farming through teaching, research and outreach. Why Jerseys? Dr. Joseph Hogan, associate chair for the Department of Animal Sciences, became the Waterman Dairy Center faculty advisor in June of 2009. He initiated a series of evaluations to look at profitability, sustainability and fulfillment of department programs. There had been previous plans to possibly move the dairy to another location. Because of this, there

was no real effort put into the upkeep of the facilities. Also, during the past 25 years, Waterman had gone from being the home to five dairy breeds to only Holsteins and Jerseys. Both breeds were housed in the same facilities which had been built for Holsteins in the 1970s. Needless to say, neither breed fit in the facilities. Dr. Hogan presented his report on the state of Waterman Dairy Center to Dr. James Kinder, chair of the Department of Animal Sciences, and Dr. Bobby D. Moser, dean for the College of Food, Agriculture, and Environmental Sciences. After extensive deliberation and consultations, it was determined that only one breed would continue at Waterman. The decision on which breed proved to be a more difficult decision. Both breeds had positive traits and both would be successful at Waterman. However, the decision at the end of the day came down to Jerseys. There were three main reasons why Jerseys were chosen. One reason was that the Ohio Agriculture Research and Development Center (OARDC) maintained a herd of Holsteins in Wooster, Ohio. If any JERSEY JOURNAL

faculty member wanted to conduct breed specific research on Holsteins, they would have access to that herd. Another major reason to continue the herd of Jerseys was based on the size of the breeds. According to Dr. Hogan, “The Jerseys nowadays are about the size of Holsteins in the ’70s, so from a renovation standpoint, it was a lot more feasible to retrofit the stalls for Jerseys than it would be for Holsteins.” Ultimately, the primary reason to maintain Jerseys is because the Waterman facility is landlocked within the Columbus metropolitan area. The Ohio State University campus sits to the south and east of the Waterman farm property and the city of Upper Arlington, a suburb of Columbus, is adjacent to the north and west. “At that time in 2009 we had 126 acres to grow forages on,” Dr. Hogan commented. “And that had decreased over the years from about 260 acres. In the past year that I’ve been in charge as faculty advisor of Waterman, there has hardly been a week gone by that I have not either lost an acre or had to fight for an acre of land.” The Waterman farm complex is not just home to the dairy. It is also home to horticulture, crop science, turf grass, forestry, wetland, floriculture, and apiculture research. “The farm is for the college, and you have all those departments who have their laboratories out here,” Dr. Hogan continued. “So we’ve lost little pieces of land for different reasons and they are legitimate and justifiable uses but nevertheless, that’s one less acre of corn.” With the dairy moving in a direction of being more sustainable, it made sense to ultimately choose Jerseys because more of them can be fed using less land as opposed to Holsteins. What About the Holsteins? The next question posed was, what is to be done with the Holstein herd? At that same time, the Ohio Department of Rehabilitations and Corrections (ODRC) was looking to expand its herd of Holsteins. All Holsteins would be sold to the ODRC farms. Because it was an internal transfer between different state departments, it saved Waterman from doing a public auction of all the animals that might have caused stress due to the Holsteins’ long history at Waterman. The last group of Holsteins left Waterman in May 2010. Milk from the Jersey herd is also sold to ODRC as Class 1 fluid milk. Facility Renovations With the decision made to convert the october 2010

farm to Jerseys, renovations were needed for the existing facilities. The dairy has both a tie-stall and a freestall barn. The tie-stall barn mainly houses animals on research trials, and hospital pens. The freestall barn houses all milking cows not on special research trials. Renovation began in July of 2009 and the first phase started with the renovation of the tie-stall barn. Among these renovations was to install a new ceiling with better lighting, tear down part of the west wall and install large fans in the east wall to help with cross ventilation. These renovations were done entirely by staff from Wooster and student employees at Waterman. This past summer, the second phase of renovation took place. This included the retrofitting of the freestall barn, installing new fans, and creating a gravel pad to feed 100% from corn silage bags. The reason to switch from vertical silos to corn silage bags was to make labor more efficient and save on maintenance costs for the aging silos. This phase was just completed in August 2010. Student employees worked tirelessly with the staff to complete both phases before the start of the fall quarter. Dr. Hogan has many goals for Waterman as he looks at the future of the farm, all built on proper housing to keep the animals healthy and comfortable. “We need to make sure our facilities are well taken care of throughout their lives, all the way from baby calves on up to our mature cows. We want to sustain a healthy herd and we want to maintain facilities that visitors and alumni are proud to come and see.” Over the past year, somatic cell counts have been significantly reduced and problems with feet and locomotion have been addressed. Some of this was directly due to animals being culled that had been kept on for longer research trials. Another significant improvement has been in reducing teat injuries, a direct impact of the new retrofitted stalls. According to Dr. Hogan, most people do not realize that Waterman must operate at a profit and not a lot of supplemental funds are available for facility upkeep. The farm’s milk checks go directly back into the operation which helps pay for the labor of the students, staff and maintenance at Waterman. Something new started for autumn quarter of 2010 is the implementation of student fees in the Department of Animal Sciences. A large percentage of those fees will go directly

into supplementing all of the animal facilities. The students now have a fiscal input into maintaining the facilities. Research This transition comes at an exciting time for agricultural research at Ohio State. On March 30, the Governor Ted Strickland and the Ohio Board of Regents designated Ohio State as the state’s Center of Excellence in Agriculture, Food Production and Bioproducts. The milking herd is enrolled on the AJCA REAP program and ranks in the top 25% for herd average Jersey Performance Index™. The 2009 lactation average on 53 records was 18,193 lbs. milk, 831 lbs. fat and 676 lbs. protein. The herd added 30 bred heifers during May, most due to calve in June and July. The 78 cows tested on August 31 averaged 50.1 lbs. The herd will be maintained at no more than 110 cows. There are 100 freestalls available and the land base available as of now can carry 120 to 130 Jerseys comfortably. “I think the Jerseys offer many opportunities because of the uniqueness of the breed particularly dealing with components and value-added products,” explains Dr. Hogan. Because Waterman is still in expansion mode and over half of the herd consists of first lactation animals, very little research is being done at this time. “The plans are now to go ahead and fistulate some animals so that they will be able to do some rumen fistulated research here,” he added. In July, the university received a $194,324 grant from Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and local matching dollars totaling $132,456 to enable the Franklin Soil and Water Conservation District to demonstrate several progressive projects at the Waterman facility. Reagan Bluel, Waterman farm manager, says that the projects will demonstrate the university’s commitment to be a leader in water quality improvement through effective whole farm management practices. “We’ll enhance crop and livestock production, while demonstrating to our urban neighbors how conservation management can repair damaged watersheds.” (see page 25 for more on the grant.) To showcase environmental stewardship for students, faculty and urban residents, exclusion fencing along 6,500 feet of stream will be installed along with four livestock stream crossings. A conserva(continued to page 20)

tion and manure management plan will be implemented along with demonstrations on composting and nutrient management. The anaerobic biodegester program will be expanded and cover-crops will be established. When asked about long-term goals for Waterman, Dr. Hogan let out a laugh and said, “Maintain this facility! There are a thousand reasons not to have a dairy square down, geographically, in the middle of 1.2 million people! Fortunately the neighbors in Upper Arlington seem to want to keep us here. Plus we have administration right now that wants to keep us, and we want to stay here.”

concluded that heifers would not show any significant changes in their pH. However, the pH of dry cows would progressively drop the longer they had access to a diet with anionic salts. “By lowering the pH of the dry cows, it decreases their chances of any metabolic problems after they calve such as milk fever.” Justin is continuing his employment at Waterman as one of the student managers during the school year. Kevin Jacque, a junior in animal sciences, was a student manager at Waterman over the summer. “My personal vacation is going to the farm, and it relaxes me. I’m not so uptight.” Kevin is not new to the dairy industry. He grew up on a dairy farm in upstate New York. Even though he no longer lives on a dairy, Kevin knew that he wanted to work with dairy cows. “I wanted to learn more about management practices, mastitis control, nutrition, and reproduction, basically anything that would go along with running a dairy farm. I could then apply those to my pursuit to be a veterinarian. I wanted to learn how biosecurity and environmental implications could be worked out by the veterinarian and see how the managers of the farm and the veterinarians work together.” This summer, Kevin applied and was accepted for the Veterinary Early Commitment Program. This program is designed to cultivate students’ interest in food supply medicine and graduate more veterinarians who have the knowledge and skills to serve modern food producing animals

something I know I can treat, I’ll go ahead and treat them myself first. But most of the time, I like to clear it with the managers in order to make sure we picked the best option for the cow.” Whatever experience a student may have at Waterman, each is guaranteed to walk away with an experience that they loved the most. For Megan, working with the calves is her favorite experience because she gets to watch them grow and become strong, successful heifers. Justin enjoys the flexibility in hours but still likes the opportunity to come in and work more hours. “They can always find something for you to do. There is always a learning opportunity.” Even though Kevin grew up with Holsteins, he is glad for the opportunity to work with Jerseys. “They are such a wide variety of characters. Most of them are very friendly and sociable. A lot of them are just very curious in nature.” Dr. Hogan hopes that incoming students share in the same positive experiences. “First and foremost, Waterman needs to be a pleasant and positive experience, and to be able to do that, students have to be able to learn. And they have to be able to apply what they learn on campus and in the classroom to the animal and to management practices on a dairy.”

The Student Experience The students who work at Waterman come from a wide variety of backgrounds. Diversity can create new and exciting learning experiences for not only students completing internships but also the employees who work year round. The present herd manager at Waterman, John Lemmermen, got his start as a student employee. After working at the dairy for four years, the position for a new herd manager opened up and John was hired. Being a Jersey breeder himself, he was of Teaching course happy for the switch to an all Jersey From introductory to upper level dairy herd. herd management courses, Waterman Megan Lohstroh, a sophomore in aniDairy has something to offer for all mal sciences lives on a beef farm and destudents and faculty. “To not use cided to complete her internship Waterman would be a great tragedy experience at Waterman. “Since or an error on the part of a teacher,” I’m from a beef background, I states Bonnie Ayars, instructor for wanted to learn about the differthe dairy cattle evaluation class ent aspects of the cattle industry. offered each spring.

The Ohio State University Awarded Sustainability Grants from EPA

In a time where sustainability measures are being demanded by the consumer, The Ohio State University (OSU), Columbus, Ohio, is taking an extra step to make sure their students are prepared to minimize their carbon and water footprint. OSU has been awarded grants totaling more than $325,000. Thanks to a $194,324 grant from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and local matching funds totaling $132,456, the Franklin County Soil and Water Conservation District will be able to use the working dairy farm west, of OSU’s campus, to exhibit several progressive practices; including those of the Jersey cow. “With this Ohio EPA grant, OSU’s Waterman Agricultural and Natural Resource Laboratory will become the site of comprehensive conservation technologies that will serve as a model for both farmers and students in reducing nonpoint source pollution,” said Reagan Bluel, Waterman manager. “Furthermore, we’ll enhance crop and livestock production, while demonstrating to our urban neighbors how conservation management can repair damaged watersheds.” The goal of the site is to be at the forefront of comprehensive conservation technologies, serving as a model for reducing nonpoint source pollution. Through two, year-long phases set to commence in the summer 2010, the researchers will be installing livestock exclusion fencing along 6,500 feet of stream, four livestock stream crossings and a conservation and manure management plan, among other actions. Some phase II projects for 2011 will include composting and nutrient management demonstrations, anaerobic biodegester program expansion, and cover crop establishment. “The educational project will provide on-the-ground examples of how to improve operations and the sustainability of production, reduce maintenance costs and protect water resources both on the farm and downstream,” said Russ Gibson, Ohio EPA’s Division of Surface Water Nonpoint Source Section Manager. One of the main issues that will be demonstrated at the research facility through the use of the Olentangy River watershed is the affect of land use on water quality. By impairing stream channels and disconnecting them from their floodplains, the river has seen its ability to reduce flooding and filter nutrients and other pollutants; a problem for both farmers and rural residents of Columbus. october 2010

The Waterman Agriculture and Natural Resources Laboratory will play home to projects being demonstrated for farmers, students, faculty and urban residents. The farm has dozens of student employees to help care for the 167-acres and the 100 Jersey milk cows. The site also includes horticulture, grade A fluid milk production, crop science, turf grass, forestry, wetlands, floriculture and apiculture.

NAJ EQUITY PROGRAM

Equity Honor Roll

ince June 1976, when Project Equity was kicked off at the AJCA-NAJ Annual Meetings, dairy producers have invested more than $8.7 million in the program to establish an equitable pricing system for milk marketed in the United States. Without doubt, it is one of the most successful programs in the history of the dairy industry. Through participation in REAP, direct contribution, or milk check assignment, thousands of dairy producers have contributed to Project Equity over the years. A special thank you

is extended to the 1,226 producers who participated in Project Equity from September 1, 2009, to August 31, 2010 (listed below). If your name has been inadvertently omitted, please contact the staff of National All-Jersey Inc. so that an update may be published in a future issue of the Jersey Journal. For more information on contributing to Project Equity, contact National All-Jersey at 614/322-4450, or by email at emetzger@usjersey. com or sgilbert@usjersey.com.

Buyers paid solid prices all the way through the sale—testament to the care the Jarrells had given in shopping for just the right consignments for the event. The 65 lots that were struck off brought an average of $4,913.85 (about $4,750 in U.S. funds) with 21 lots selling for $5,000 (Canadian) or more. Gross receipts totaled $319,400. Jersey breeders from the U.S. stepped up to the plate on both sides of the deal, consigning big and buying big. They were on either the buying or selling end of 11 of the top 15 transactions and bred the sire and dam of the high selling lot of embryos. The high seller, RJF Jamaica Rockstar, headed south of the border to Vermont

RJF Jamaica Rockstar was the high seller, purchased for $21,000 by Billings Farm. Pictured with “Rockstar” are Billings Farm representatives, Sarah Littlefield, staff member, Jason Johnson, assistant manager, and B. J. Hanfield, farm manager, and consignors, Bobby, April and Bob Jarrell, far right. At the halter is Melissa Bowers.

when she was purchased by Billings Farm Inc., Woodstock, for $21,000. With the bid, farm manager B.J. Hanfield purchased the right to choose between “Rockstar” and another herd member offered by sale hosts, RJF Iatola Bliss. Hanfield selected the younger of the two, a junior three-year-old who was recently raised to Excellent-91% for her new owners and earned a +50 on both fore udder and rear udder height in her linear breakdowns. She is sired by Bridon Jamaica-ET, GJPI -82, and made 15,484 lbs. milk, 631 lbs. fat and 583 lbs. protein in her first lactation.

Her next five dams are Very Good or Excellent in Canada. Wisconsin juniors, Jordan and Whitney Ebert of Algoma purchased the second high seller, Select Jade Emy-ET, The siblings dug deep in their pockets to purchase “Emy,” outlasting all other bidders with a final bid of $17,500 on the fancy senior three-year-old. “Emy” is sired by Giprat Belles JadeET, JPI +11, and appraised VG 89 in Canada. She was Reserve All-Canadian Senior Calf in 2007 and nominated AllCanadian Milking Yearling in 2008.

Their dam, Potwell Whistlers Emily, is EX 92 in Canada and made 20,898 lbs. milk, 880 lbs. fat and 766 lbs. protein at 5-0. “Emily” is a two-time Reserve AllCanadian (2004 and 2005) in milking form and was nominated All-Canadian Five-Year-Old in 2007. “Emy’s” grandam, Pleasant Nook JI Marthamay-ET, VG 87 (CAN) has a best record of 18,313 lbs. milk, 757 lbs. fat and 684 lbs. protein at 6-5 and lifetime credits of 129,965 lbs. milk, 5,817 lbs. fat and 5,071 lbs. protein in eight lactations.

“Emy” was consigned by Christine Desrosiers, Julien and C. A. Sicard, St. Justine, Quebec. The Jarrells thought so highly of one of the consignments—Huronia Vincent Mindy 43W—that they kept her in the barn at Corbyville with a bid of $11,500. The intermediate heifer calf is sired by Bridon Vincent-ET, PA JPI +7, and recently stood third in the Quinte Championship Show for her new owners. “Mindy’s” dam, Huronia Remake Marsha 44P, is sired by Rock Ella Remake-ET, GJPI +13, and appraised VG 87 in Canada. “Marsha’s” maternal sister, Huronia Nevada Marnie 29N, was Reserve Intermediate Champion of the Royal Winter Fair in 2005.

Production-Bred Genetics in Demand at Indiana Dispersal

Jersey breeders seized the opportunity to add production-bred genetics to their herds with a purchase from the Sunny Slopes and Windridge Jerseys Farms Complete Dispersal on July 31, 2010. With both herds ranked among the top 10 in the country for milk, fat and protein production among their peers with 40-79 cows, it was no surprise that requests for catalogs and bids from Jersey breeders across the country poured in to Jersey Marketing Service in the months that led to the dispersal. By day’s end, 34 Jersey breeders from eight states purchased the 190 lots that sold at the farm in Coatesville, Ind., for an average of $1,391.97 and a gross of $264,475. Sale Analysis

Sale Management: Jersey Marketing Service Auctioneer: Todd Woodruff

The decision to sell the milking cows and bred heifers was a tough one for the families of Mike and Anna Riggs, Windridge Jersey Farms, and Doug and Tim Whicker, Sunny Slopes Farm. The families had worked together for many years and then joined their herds together several years ago to be managed as one at the Whicker’s farm in Coatesville. Both herds were bred with a focus on production and functional type and were backed by generations of breed-leading sires. It was the catalog’s cover girl—SS Geronimo Lucinda—and the farm favorite that garnered the high price of the day when auctioneer Todd Woodruff’s gavel fell at $4,800. Elise Carpenter, Russell Springs, Ky., wanted “Lucinda” the most and placed the final bid on the Excellent-90% daughter of C-Bar Hallmark Geronimo, GJPI +77. The tall, dairy, beautifully-uddered three-year-old was fresh in mid-March and sold short-bred to Schultz Rescue Headline, GJPI +166. She made 17,650 lbs. milk, 879 lbs. fat and 622 lbs. protein in her first lactation and has a projected m.e. of 23,900–1,062–793 in her second lactation. “Lucinda” stood fourth in the Page 46

The Gaby family of Greeneville, Tenn., poses after the Gaby Genetic Venture Sale with Gabys Action Baby-ET. She was part of the Golden Ticket Lot that sold for $25,000 to Neil and Melanie Hunter, Bath, Ontario, second from right. The Golden Ticket gave bidders the opportunity to purchase any animal on the Gaby Farm over 90 days of age. The Hunter’s selected Gabys Action Baby-ET as their “Golden Ticket.”

Donald and Duane Phillips, second from left, of Golden, Ill., represented their brother, Dennis, and sister, Donna, at the sale to purchase Gabys Nathan Astoria-ET for $10,400. The four-year-old has several brothers in A.I. and sold with a contract to Genex. The Phillipses are pictured with AJCA-NAJ Area Representative David Burris, left, and Warren, Johnny and Henry Gaby.

Gaby’s Genetic Venture Sale Heats Up the Summer

t was standing room only for the Gaby’s Genetic Showcase Sale. Jersey enthusiasts from across the south and midwest gathered in Greeneville, Tenn., despite the incredible heat of the week, to participate in the hottest genetic sale of the summer. At the end of the long, hot day, 97 lots had crossed the auction block and averaged $1,980.15 with gross sales of $192,075. Three individuals sold for over $10,000 and animals sold to 26 buyers in 11 states and Canada. The Genetic Venture The Gaby family has been farming at their present location for over 90 years. In the 1930s, the focus of the herd turned to Registered Jerseys and the family has never looked back. Their philosophy is to breed high production cows with a troublefree udder that can be easily milked and last for a long time. The family has placed over 75 sons into A.I. from their genetics and have topped sales around the country, including the National Heifer Sale, Pot O’Gold Sale, and the Kentucky National Sale. The demand for Gaby genetics and the efficiency of the Jersey cow is what prompted the family to select 100 of their top animals to offer at auction. Advertising for Lot 1—The Golden Ticket—was touted as “Imagine the Possiblities.” Potential buyers did just that, as the Gabys continued to show that they offer only the best to sales. Through the Golden Ticket lot, buyers were given the opportunity to select any animal from the herd (over 90 days old

Rock Run Milking Herd Disperal

The Jersey’s efficiency in breeding back consistently and her long productive life have given Galen and Rosanna Miller the opportunity to sell off half of their herd three times in the past eight years and still retain herd size through internal growth. Five years ago, the couple sold the milking string of 50 cows and then rebuilt the herd with the young stock. Three years later, they sold the majority of their bred heifers and calves and retained the milking herd. This year, on August 28, the Millers again dispersed the milking string and will freshen the bulk of their 52 heifers beginning next February to start the process again. Sale Analysis

Grand Central Jerseys is operated by the Horst family—Robert and Patricia and their daughters, Heather and Hillary, and Robert’s brother, Ronald, a former director of USDA’s National Animal Disease Center in Ames, and his wife, Myke.

The Horsts enjoy showing their herd at local and national shows. Among the standouts is GCJ Jade Varsity, Excellent-93%. “Varsity” was named Intermediate Champion of The All American Jersey Show in 2004. She repeated the feat in 2005 and was also tapped as Grand Champion of the junior show.

The Killians also hosted a twilight meeting for the Holstein Association at the farm in the late afternoon. All were invited to enjoy a live band and barn dance in the haymow in the evening. The Killians operate the farm in westcentral Wisconsin with their children, Samuel, 9, Christian, 7, Olivia, 4, and Bo, 2. They are expecting a fourth son in November. The Killians manage a mixed herd of 45 Jersey cows and 30 Holsteins. Cows are milked in a 55-cow tie-stall barn. They are fed a total mixed ration and rotationally grazed during the summer. The family crops 285 acres and raises their heifers on the farm.

In 2008, the herd ranked third in the nation for protein production, fifth for fat and ninth for milk with an AJCA lactation average of 22,805 lbs. milk, 1,144 lbs. fat and 900 lbs. protein on 23 cows. The herd average on the Holsteins stands at 29,571 lbs. milk, 1,153 lbs. fat and 1,005 lbs. protein. With the last herd appraisal in June, the farm is home to 15 Excellent and 30 Very Good cows and has an average appraisal of 86%.

Karriker has been active with Jerseys since she first starting showing at age five. She has also participated in 4-H dairy bowl and dairy judging and given numerous dairy presentations over the years.

The total mixed ration for Biltmore Jerseys is a unique blend of standbys coupled with vegetable and fruit scraps from a local Gerber plant.

George Cecil welcomes Jersey breeders to Small Acres Dairy, home of Biltmore Jerseys.

Mike Corn, herdsman at Biltmore, describes herd management details at Biltmore Jerseys.

Karriker was a member of 4-H teams that represented North Carolina in the dairy judging contest at the North American International Livestock Exhibition in 2007 and the Pennsylvania All-American Dairy Show and World Dairy Expo in 2008. Jersey breeders heard from Bruce DeGroot, co-owner of Yellow Branch Pottery and Cheese. DeGroot spoke about his experiences making and marketing raw milk, artisan cheese. He and his wife, Karen Mickler, operate a cheese and pottery business from their farm in Robbinsville, N.C. The couple manages a small herd of 10 Jersey cows and grows the specialty crops that are used in their flavored cheeses, including jalapeno peppers and basil. The operation is pasture-based. The cheese business was established by Karen and has been licensed to sell product since 1986. Bruce left a career off the farm in carpentry and woodworking in 2000 to take reins as full-time cheese maker. Yellow Branch Cheese is sold in retail outlets and served in restaurants across

North Carolina, Virginia and Florida. Herby Lutz, a dairy sire analyst for Select Sires Inc., Chester, S.C., brought the group up-to-date on genomic testing and explained how the technology is influencing dairy cattle breeding. Biltmore Jerseys is one of the longestrunning Registered Jersey herds in the country. The farm and dairy have roots as far back as the late 1880s, when George Washington Vanderbilt commissioned the construction of the famous estate. Vanderbilt believed the estate should be self-sustaining and incorporated plans for a dairy in the original design. The herdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first Jerseys were housed in New York and began residence at the farm in North Carolina in 1894. Today, the Registered Jersey herd of 350 cows is enrolled on REAP and has a 2009 AJCA lactation average of 18,580 lbs. milk, 900 lbs. fat and 645 lbs. protein. With the August 2010 genetic evaluations, the herd average for Jersey Performance Index is +34 and ranks among the top 25% of the herds in the country. Jersey breeders toured the dairy, which has seen several renovations in the past five years. Among the improvements are a covered feeding lane that allows for better management of the cows during milking and feeding; a freestall barn that has been expanded to 144 stalls and resized to better suit Jerseys; and a new barn to raise calves 4-6 months-of-age. The dairy also constructed a new barn for newborn calves with 57 individual pens and added a pasteurizer. The pasteurizer has been well worth the cost, paying for itself in just six months versus the cost of milk replacer. Calf health has improved as well. Cows are milked in a double-six herringbone parlor and fed a unique ration that includes a variety of commodities including hominy, citrus pulp and vegetables and fruits from a local Gerber plant. Jersey breeders enjoyed a barbeque lunch and a variety of dairy treats, including milk from Duchess Dairy Products of Rural Retreat, Va., and ice cream from Spring Ridge (continued to page 72)

Proposals Sought for Jersey Research The AJCC Research Foundation has issued a request for research proposals to be funded in 2011 addressing significant issues for the Jersey breed and Jersey milk producers. Current priorities for research funding are: • Nutrition of high-producing Jerseys, particularly practical feeding methods to maximize production of valuable milk components; • Factors affecting management of Jersey calves; • Factors affecting yield and (or) quality of products manufactured from Jersey milk; • Factors affecting economic impact of Jerseys: efficiencies, net income, longevity, and lifetime profit; • Optimizing the genetic basis for improving animal health and (or) enhancing product quality; • Enhancing environmental impact associated with Jerseys; • New technologies for safe and sustainable food production from Jersey cattle; and • Feasibility of adding value and increasing consumer acceptance

The word “reliability” has been mentioned frequently in dairy circles in recent months, especially since the advent of genomic evaluations. Reliability, commonly abbreviated with the acronyms R or REL, is a measure of the accuracy of a genetic evaluation.

In this month’s Jersey Jargon, we’ll take a closer look at Reliability and how genotyping impacts this genetic measure.

traits are higher than those for low heritability traits. Reliabilities increase as additional information is included in an animal’s genetic evaluation. For example, the reliability of a bull’s PTA for milk will increase as his daughters calve and contribute production information to his proof. Likewise, the reliability of a cow’s PTA for pounds protein will increase as she completes lactations and when her daughters calve and begin to contribute information to her genetic evaluation. Reliabilities for genetic evaluations for proven bulls tend to be the highest because they have many daughters contributing to their genetic evaluation. Bulls on the list of the AJCA Active A.I. Bulls have reliabilities for PTA Protein that are 70% or higher.

Reliability Basics The term reliability has been used by the dairy industry since the Animal Model was adopted in 1989. Previously, the tool was termed repeatability and was expressed as R or RPT. Reliability accompanies genetic evaluations and is expressed as a percent. The highest reliability that can be attained for a genetic evaluation is 99% REL or 99% R. For cows and bulls with traditional genetic evaluations, the measure is associated with Predicted Transmitting Abilities (PTAs). For cows, bulls and heifers with genomic evaluations, the measure is associated with Genomic Predicted Transmitting Abilities (GPTAs). For heifers and young bulls that do not have genomic evaluations or their own PTA, the measure is associated with Parent Averages (PAs). Reliability can be found alongside PTAs, GPTAs and PAs on performance pedigrees and progeny performance reports and most of the genetic listings in the Green Book and other reports from the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA). Reliability is closely tied to heritability. Generally, reliabilities for high heritability

Genotyping and Reliability Since reliabilities increase as information is added to the genetic evaluation, the inclusion of genomic information greatly boosts the reliability of the evaluation. As more animals are genotyped, the reliability of The reliabilities associated with several genetic genetic evaluations will increase measures for this heifer, who has been genotyped with the Illumina Bovine 50K SNP chip, are highlighted.

a dairy producer is willing to accept in herd matings. Bulls with lower reliabilities—and superior genetic merit—offer opportunity to accelerate genetic progress. However, their use in the herd mating program should be carefully managed. As a guideline, Jersey breeders could consider adopting the limitations suggested by the AJCA’s herd mating program, JerseyMate. The program suggests limiting use of bulls with reliabilities less than 70% to 5% of herd matings, bulls with reliabilities between 70-80% to 10% of herd matings, and bulls with reliabilities over 80% to 15% of herd matings. By doing this, the

In Memoriam Donald A. Kenny Donald A. Kenny, Enon Valley, Pa., 52, passed away suddenly on August 17, 2010, while working on his dairy farm. He was born in New Castle, Pa., on January 30, 1958, to Robert and Alma Musgrave Kenny and graduated from Mohawk High School in 1976. Kenny operated Kenny Farm in Enon Valley in partnership with his parents. The Kennys milk a herd of 232 Registered Jersey cows and were among the first in the state to contribute to Project Equity. The herd is enrolled on REAP and has a 2009 AJCA lactation average of 17,117 lbs. milk, 959 lbs. fat and 605 lbs. protein. In 2004 and 2006, the herd ranked among the top 10 in the nation for fat production among similar-sized herds. Kenny Farm is also ranked among the top herds in the country for Jersey Performance Index, with a herd average JPI of +42 after the August 2010 genetic evaluations. Kenny was a member of the American Jersey Cattle Association and frequently attended the organization’s annual meetings. He also was a member of Beaver-Lawrence County Farm Bureau and Westfield Grange. He helped with the local 4-H club, coached junior high football and was a volunteer fireman for North Beaver Township. He was Presbyterian, but affiliated with First Baptist Church in New Castle. Kenny enjoyed horses, hunting and

fishing and riding his motorcycle. In addition to his parents, Kenny is survived by a daughter, Rachael, and a son, Clayton, both of Enon Valley; two sisters, Marian (Greg) Spieker of Enon Valley and Marlene (Scott) Mitcheltree of New Castle; a brother Glenn (Lisa) Kenny of Meadville; and his girlfriend, Linda Haas, of Neshannock Township.

Brian J. Krull Brian J. Krull, Lake Mills, Wis., 44, passed away on August 26, 2010, from an electrical accident on the farm. Krull operated a high-visibility herd of 50 registered Holstein cows with his wife, Cindy, and their children, Cassy, Bryce and Carley. The Krulls bred Krull Broker Elegance, one of the Holstein breed’s most well-known matriarchs. “Elegance” was purchased by the partnership of Budjon Farms and Joel Kietzman as a threeyear-old and named Honorable Mention All-American Aged Cow in 1999 and 2000. The Krulls also manage a small herd of registered Jerseys, Shining Star Dairy Cattle, owned by Cassy. Among the standouts is Ratliff F Prize Kay-ET, who earned Reserve All American laurels in the open or junior show at The All American Jersey Show three straight years beginning in 2006. Cassy was recently crowned as the Wisconsin Jersey Queen and will compete in the national contest this fall. The herd is enrolled on REAP. The family was featured in an article in the December 2009 issue of the Capital
