150 Milking Jerseys
JERSEY JOURNAL
For many years, the October issue of the Jersey Journal has been designated as the Equity issue. Editorial and advertisements celebrate the program, which marks 33 years in 2009, and pay tribute to its sponsors. Why the fuss? Project Equity is the single largest source of funding for National All-Jersey (NAJ) Inc. and the important work it does in milk marketing. Equity was established by NAJ to promote the adoption of multiple component pricing (MCP). Today, component pricing is used by nearly 90% of all regulated milk markets. Though the achievement is one to celebrate, the organization cannot rest on its laurels as the goal is component pricing in all milk markets. As part of this effort, NAJ is now working to increase the standards for nonfat solids in fluid milk sold across the country. In this month’s Jersey Jargon column, we’ll take a closer look at NAJ and see how it strives to work on behalf of not only those who produce Jersey milk, but those who process and consume Jersey milk as well. About NAJ National All-Jersey was established in 1957 by the American Jersey Cattle Association when the organization’s leaders saw a need for an entity that would vigorously represent Jersey producers in the milk marketing arena. It is the only organization of its kind—one that represents milk marketing concerns for owners of a single dairy breed. Its mission is to increase the value of and demand for Jersey milk and to promote equity in milk pricing. NAJ is funded through Equity and AllJersey® fees. Equity fees are voluntary contributions from individual producers or producer organizations. All-Jersey fees are paid by processors on a per hundredweight basis for the right to use the All-Jersey trademark label.
content of Jersey milk has always had precedence. Today, NAJ promotes MCP to dairy product manufacturers, especially cheesemakers. MCP payments to producers can be based on pounds of protein, pounds of butterfat, end product pricing, protein premiums or protein differentials. All are market-oriented pricing systems, to varying degrees, and benefit both manufacturers and producers. NAJ also has a fluid milk program called All-Jersey. This premium brand name was the primary marketing program for high-solids Jersey milk until the mid-1970s and continues to be viable in certain areas. NAJ works with members on individual marketing projects, such as fluid milk processing or cheese manufacturing. NAJ has also provided professional referrals, financial analysis and marketing assistance. Milk Price Regulation: Milk is among the most strictly regulated agricultural commodities in this country. NAJ represents the interests and concerns of Jersey producers in this complicated arena. NAJ’s most significant endeavor has been to promote adoption of MCP in all Federal Milk Marketing Orders and state-regulated pricing systems. Though component pricing now covers 90% of all regulated milk pricing, NAJ is working to expand it to 100% of the milk market. As part of that goal, NAJ continues its efforts to improve the quality of consumer milk by advocating for higher protein and solidsnot-fat standards for fluid milk products. Information and Education: NAJ holds an extensive resource library on Jersey milk, MCP and fluid milk standards and is known worldwide as the clearinghouse for information on these topics. The organization publishes a weekly market email/fax report (Weekly Market Update), a bimonthly newsletter (Equity Newsletter) and a quarterly report (Milk and Component Outlook) about milk marketing conditions.
NAJ staff members also fill a demanding schedule of public presentations at local, state, national and international dairy meetings throughout the year. Policy Issues: From the Farm Bill to import quotas, governmental policies impact the dairy industry—and NAJ members. NAJ works to ensure equitable treatment for Jersey producers. The organization evaluates the implications of many dairy policy directives and takes action necessary to either support positive actions or correct improper ones. Research: The principle of equitable milk pricing is founded on establishing differences in the true value of milk in various consumer products. Thus, NAJ has supported basic research on the qualities and manufacturing yields of Jersey milk. There is much more important information to be gained, so NAJ continues to fund research efforts at several institutions throughout the U.S. Industry Relations: NAJ advocates collaboration among all segments of the dairy industry. The successful expansion of MCP best illustrates how NAJ works with industry partners to change the way the dairy industry does business. A Unified Voice Though significant gains have been made to improve markets for Jersey producers, the future still holds challenges for the cause of equitable milk pricing. Jersey milk is superior nutritionally and produces the highest manufacturing yields. But U.S. dairy policy and milk pricing decisions are based upon what is best for “average” milk. Regulators may not hear the concerns of Jersey producers unless we speak with a unified voice. That voice is National All-Jersey.

The Role of NAJ NAJ has pursued its mission in six different areas: market development, milk price regulation, information and education, policy issues, research, and industry relations.

NAJ EQUITY PROGRAM
Equity Honor Roll
S
ince June 1976, when Project Equity was kicked off at the AJCA-NAJ Annual Meetings, dairy producers have invested nearly $8 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 1,124 producers who participated in Project Equity from September 1, 2008, to August 31, 2009 (listed below). For more information on contributing to Project Equity, contact National All-Jersey at 614/861-3636, ext. 339, or by email at emetzger@ usjersey.com or sgilbert@usjersey.com.

BOTTOM-LINE MANAGEMENT
Production Cost Study Highlights Jersey Advantages
F
or the seventh consecutive year, the differences between Jersey and Holstein profitability are revealed from an in-depth analysis by National All-Jersey Inc. of the annual cost survey from the California Department of Food & Agriculture. For 2008, the average cost of production on a per cow basis was lower for Jerseys compared to Holsteins. Evaluating different pricing systems, Jersey enterprises were also more profitable, on the basis of both net income per hundredweight of milk shipped and net income per cow.
the Holstein herds was 71.39 lbs. per day with 3.6% fat and 3.08% true protein. The Cheddar cheese yield per hundredweight for Jerseys was 12.25 lbs. per cwt., for average yield per cow of 2,111 lbs. This compares to Holstein cheese yield per cwt. of 9.98 lbs., for total yield per cow of 2,263 lbs.

For Jerseys, total cost of production was $17.49 per cwt. Of this, $10.30 was for feed, $1.73 for labor, $1.46 for replacement costs; $3.52 in operating costs; and $0.48 for What It Cost In 2008 milk marketing costs.

representing different approaches to pricing milk. Table 3 summarizes revenue on a per hundredweight basis. Price per hundredweight was highest using Federal Order MCP pricing; however, the largest differences in revenue were associated with two of the cheese yield formulas. Subtracting the cost of production determined by CDFA from each pricing scenario ($17.49/cwt. for Jersey, $16.17/cwt. for Holstein), Jersey milk produced from $0.82 to $2.81 greater net income per hundredweight compared to Holstein milk (Table 4). The greatest advantage for Jerseys was associated with (a) Federal Order MCP, (b) the plan paying both for cheese yield and whey value of the milk, and (c) cheese yield pricing with a variable make allowance indexed to product yield per hundredweight. This last system reflects the relative manufacturing efficiency of milks with different component levels. For every one million pounds of milk marketed, Jersey milk generated between $8,200 and $28,100 more net income. Revenue and Net Income on per Cow Basis Using the 2008 production data, gross revenue per cow for each pricing system was calculated and is summarized in Table 5.

exceeded that for Jerseys across all pricing scenarios, for the simple reason that they produce greater volume per cow. Subtracting the total cost of production, however, net returns for Jerseys were greater. These ranged from $118 per cow under the California regulated price system to over $400 for cheese yield pricing. Added Considerations Across time, Jerseys consistently yield higher net income for the dairy operator. This is particularly the case when the advantages of longer productive life and reproductive efficiency are taken into account to assess lifetime milk yield and net profitability. August 2009 data from the Animal Improvement Programs Laboratory, USDA, show that the average Productive Life for Jerseys with birth years from 1998 through 2002 is 1,026 days, 183 more days than Holstein contemporaries. Also, dairy records processing centers continually report higher conception rates, shorter calving intervals, and earlier average age at first calving for Jerseys compared to other breeds.

Proposals Sought for Jersey Research
The AJCC Research Foundation has issued a request for research proposals to be funded in 2010 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 Page 46
sustainable food production from Jersey cattle; and • Feasibility of adding value to Jerseyderived products through enhanced product quality, branding, et cetera, toward consumer acceptance. Application deadline is December 1, 2009. The Research Advisory Committee of the American Jersey Cattle Association will evaluate the proposals, then forward its recommendations to the AJCA Board of Directors, which will award funds at its meeting in March 2010. Submissions are evaluated for (a) merit (e.g., potential to advance practical knowledge, creative approach to the
problem); (b) competence (i.e., high probability of successful completion within the proposed time frame); and (c) relevance (e.g., problem derived from one of the areas of research priority). Seed monies awarded to selected projects averages $5,000. The 20-year total for Jersey-specific research supported by the Foundation exceeds $750,000.

New England Breeders Meet for Summer Picnic
Jersey breeders from New England gathered for their summer picnic on July 18, 2009, at High Lawn Farm in Lee, Mass. Though New England has been deluged with rain this spring and summer, Mother Nature provided a sunny-day refuge and chance for the group of 125plus to learn more about industry topics in the headlines, visit with friends, and tour the farm. The topic of milk marketing was close to home for every Jersey breeder in attendance. American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) Director Robin Denniston-Keller told the group that National All-Jersey (NAJ) Inc. is working to raise fluid milk standards for all milk sold in the U.S. The organization supports increasing the minimum standards for nonfat solids in fluid milk from 8.25% to 8.7%. NAJ reasons that increased demand is the key to equalizing the imbalance between supply and demand. Higher milk solids standards will increase demand and also improve product quality. A certificate of registration for the Queen of Quality® has been issued, NAJ Director John Kokoski reported, and many Jersey breeders are processing their own milk and now using the mark, including picnic hosts, High Lawn Farm. Newly-elected AJCA Director Wes Snow thanked Jersey breeders for their loyalty and support of the national Jersey organizations and noted that performance for key programs currently is on pace for

another record-setting year. During the first six months of 2009, the AJCA and NAJ enrolled more herds (5%) and cows (7%) on REAP, registered more animals (11%), filled more orders for JerseyTags (6%), appraised more cows (8%) and reported more Equity contributions (8%) than they did during the same time period in 2008. High Lawn Farm owner, William Wilde and his wife, Fanny, and daughter, Jennifer, and his sister, Alice Fields, were on hand to guide tours of the facilities, as were Roberto Laurens, general manager, Walter Pyle, farm manager, Heather Lord, herd manager, and other employees. The 1,300-acre farm in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts has been in continuous operation since before 1900 and the Jersey herd dates to at least 1918. The lineage of some members of the herd today can be traced back 15 generations. High Lawn Farm milks 210 cows and has a 2008 AJCA lactation average of 16,986 lbs. milk, 767 lbs. fat and 595 lbs. protein.
William Wilde, owner of High Lawn Farm, left, and his daughter, Jennifer, herd manager, Heather Lord, and Matt Vanormer take a few minutes from tour duties to pose for the camera.
The herd is ranked among the top 25% of the breed for Jersey Performance Index (JPI) with an average JPI of +85 on 199 cows (August 2009). High Lawn Farms has been an AllJersey distributor of milk, cream and butter since May 2008. Products are distributed locally to 350 home delivery customers and 170 restaurants, stores, schools and colleges. High Lawn Farm earned silver medals for its lightly salted butter and unsalted butter in the 2009 North American Regional Jersey Cheese Contest held in conjunction with the AJCA-NAJ Annual Meetings in Syracuse, N.Y. Jersey breeders from Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont attended the picnic.

PERFORMANCE REPORT
High Herds Ranked By JPI Average The top 25% of U.S. Jersey herds ranked by the average Jersey Performance IndexTM (JPI) of the cows in the herd are listed below. This list includes qualifying herds with an average JPI of +79 or greater. Herds must be enrolled in official AJCA performance programs to be included in the ranking and have at least 10 Registered Jerseys with Jersey Performance Indexes. For a cow to be included in a herd’s average, she must have calved after May 1 and have an August 2009 JPI. In the case of ties, the herd ranked higher for PTA Protein (PTAP) is listed first. Any herds that remain tied are then listed in order of herd average for Cheese Merit Dollars (CM$). There are 214 herds listed with an average JPI of +95. Gerald Laufenberg, Mount Horeb, Wis., tops the list for the first time with
his 11 cow herd and an average JPI of +165. Following in second is Tollenaar Jerseys, Elk Grove, Calif., with an average JPI of +144 on 98 cows. Maintaining his third place rank is David Allen, Reedsburg, Wis. His 59-cow herd has an average JPI of +142. The 60 cow herd of Oomsdale Farm, Valatie, N.Y., ranks fourth with a JPI of +138. Benjamin White, East Ryegate, Vt., has an average JPI of +133 with his 30 cow herd. Averages continue to improve as cow numbers increase.

The anniversary edition of the sale celebrated 75 years of Registered Jersey breeding by Avonlea Genetics, first by the operation’s founders, the late Bill and Jack Featherstone, and now by the Vander Meulen and Livock families. It was a daughter of 2004 National Grand Champion, Huronia Centurion Veronica 20J, that brought the top dollar of the day. The partnership of sale host, Avonlea Genetics Inc., and International Genetics Ltd., Brighton, Ont., was victorious in the bidding battle for Arethusa Comerica Dolce Vita, a junior yearling sired by Bridon Remake Comerica-ET, GJPI +53. “Veronica,” one of just two living cows to be appraised Excellent-97%, has a string of other show winnings under her belt, including Supreme Champion of World Dairy Expo in 2006 and the Pennsylvania All-American in 2005 and 2006. She is the only Registered Jersey to be named Intermediate and Reserve Grand Champion at the Central National Jersey Show, the All American Jersey Show and the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in the same year (2002). “Veronica” was selected to represent her sire, Sooner Centurion-ET, GJPI +81, in The Art of Fine Breeding contest last Page 88
fall. She has four completed lactations— three of them over 24,000 lbs. milk, 1,200 lbs. fat and 950 lbs. protein. She has 29 registered sons and 41 registered daughters. Of her 19 daughters that have been appraised, 10 are Excellent and nine Very Good. Elliotts Golden VistaET, Excellent-91%, has 19,250 lbs. milk, 1,314 lbs. fat and 798 lbs. protein at 3-4. Arethusa Veronicas Prancer-ET, Excellent-91%, was Reserve Junior Champion at the Central National Jersey Show in 2007 and Arethusa Veronicas Blitzen-ET, Very Good-88%, placed second in the show’s senior two-year-old class a year later. The two were part of the AllBreed Access All-American Junior Best Three Females in 2007. “Veronica’s” dam is VG 87 in Canada and the next five dams are Excellent. “Dolce Vita” was consigned by Arethusa Farm, Litchfield, Conn. U.S. Jersey breeders, Jason Luttropp and Rebecca Fuchs, Berlin, Wis., purchased the second high seller, Lencrest SM Leslie, for $17,000 (Canadian). The dark, stylish senior two-year-old is sired by Select-Scott Minister-ET, GJPI -5, and was appraised VG 88 in Canada. She sold fresh in late March and placed third in her class at the Salon International Laitier show for her consignors, Gary and Maureen Bowers, Coaticook, Que. For her new owners, “Leslie” placed second in her class at the Wisconsin State Fair in August. “Leslie’s” dam, Shamrock Grove Leslie, SUP-EX 91-5E (CAN), stood first in the senior three-year-old class at the Ayer’s Cliff Fair in 2001 and repeated the feat in her respective class the next two years as well. She was tapped Grand Champion in 2002. She has seven completed lactations and made her best record of 17,776 lbs. milk, 988 lbs. fat and 678 lbs. protein at 5-6. She has lifetime credits of 122,714 lbs. milk, 6,505 lbs. fat and 4,803 lbs. protein in 2,573 days. The next two dams are also Excellent in Canada. Three consignments sold for $11,500 (Canadian) each—the third high price of the day. Luttropp and Fuchs selected one of the $11,500-priced individuals, Avonlea Chesley of Pine Cre-ET. The consignment of Avonlea Genetics and Mike Stark, Brighton, Ont., is a VG 89 (CAN) daughter of Giprat Belles JadeET, JPI +109. She placed second in the Kingsmill Farm II International Futurity and was nominated All-Canadian Senior Three-Year-Old this past fall. The fouryear-old made 17,098 lbs. milk, 904 lbs. fat and 627 lbs. protein in her second lactation and sold due to Avonlea All Kaught Up in early December.
