The American Jersey Cattle Association promotes the use of authentic and unaltered photographic images of Jersey animals, and disapproves of the use of any photographic images that alter the body of the Jersey animal. The American Jersey Cattle Association therefore requests that all photographic images of Jersey animals submitted for publication in the Jersey Journal contain no alterations to the body of the animal. Despite its best efforts to ensure that only unaltered photographs of Jersey animals are used in this publication, the American Jersey Cattle Association cannot guarantee that every photographic image of a Jersey animal is authentic and unaltered.

JERSEY JOURNAL

Two Milestones Down to the second, we know when for the first time, the American Jersey Cattle Association processed 100,000 registrations in a single year: at 1:50.22 p.m. Eastern on December 27, 2012. The time that it took to achieve the milestone—and more importantly, how—is quite a different matter. It was 144 years and six months ago, in July of 1868, that an association of breeders of Jersey cattle organized themselves “to compile a trustworthy herd book.” By the time of its incorporation in 1880, The American Jersey Cattle Club had registered about 17,000 animals, total. When E. A. Darling became president in 1894, registrations were 12,817 per year, and when he left 21 years later in 1915, they had increased to 32,999. Darling and the directors of those years built a permanent office to support operations and house records. They instituted testing and type evaluation programs. And, they financed head-to-head breed tests establishing Jersey superiority for productivity, feed efficiency and profitability at the world’s fairs of 1893 in Chicago and 1904 in St. Louis. The image of “the Club” evolved under the next president, M. D. Munn, to one of an organization serving the needs of the “farmer-breeder using the Jersey cow as a means of livelihood.” Membership more than doubled and annual registrations reached 55,659 by the time Munn left office in 1926. The 1927 introduction of the Jersey Creamline marketing program drove registrations to 63,045 (1927), 73,909 (1928), and 71,661 (1929). Had that rate of growth continued, registrations would have reached 100,000 in 1933. The Great Depression put a stop to it. Registrations picked up again as the depression ended and were consistently high during the years of World War II. Then from 1946 to 1958, registrations exceeded 60,000 seven times, 70,000 twice, and 85,000 twice. Registrations for the next decade were propelled by the All-Jersey® fluid milk program, but by 1973 had dwindled to 33,104. Most of the blame can be laid on a pricing system that incentivized volume of milk production, and practically no post-war increase in the production average of Jerseys. And so we reach the question of how, from that dismal state of affairs, 40 years later the American Jersey Cattle Association achieved its long-sought goal of 100,000 registrations. First, programs were adopted to increase Jersey productivity, while not changing the essentials that made her profitable in the beginning—her size, her efficiencies January 2013

in reproduction and feed conversion, her longevity, and the superior nutritional qualities of her milk. USDA Predicted Difference proofs (forerunners of today’s PTAs) were adopted as the official bull and cow evaluation system. Over time, linear type traits evaluation was introduced, to be followed by development of genetic indexes and mating programs to optimize production, type and fitness gains from one generation to the next. Second, services were created and products made available to make registration itself easy and cost effective: Genetic Recovery, electronic and internet processing, convenient eartagging systems for permanent ID, and in 1995, the REAP services package. Third, commercial markets were expanded for registered Jerseys by the creation of Jersey Marketing Service. The bedrock of each JMS transaction is that every Jersey sold through private treaty or at auction goes to its new home with a registration certificate and performance pedigree. Despite all this, reaching 100,000 registrations would have been inconceivable had not National All-Jersey Inc. achieved a milestone of its own. In one year, 1980, 800 milk producers, reaching across breed lines, put their money behind the Equity Project. 800 in ’80 gave credibility to the effort started in 1976 to change the pricing of milk in the United States. It opened doors for National All-Jersey staff to show cheesemakers and the agencies regulating milk pricing the research behind and sound economics of multiple component pricing. It made believers out of skeptics, and grew to over 1,000 investors. Twenty years after the milestone of 800 in ’80, multiple component pricing was implemented in the majority of federal marketing orders. Registrations have increased 60% since January 1, 2000, and will top 102,000 this year. History repeatedly shows that milk pricing plays a major role in the breed of cow that dairy producers milk, and thus is directly tied to registrations. James S. Huffard III summed it up well in his President’s report to the AJCA Board of Directors in March of 2004. His comments then are equally to the point now as 2012 comes to its close. “The lifeblood of the American Jersey Cattle Association continues to be registrations, sound programs, and National All-Jersey Inc. AJCA is the Jersey cow, but NAJ is the primary reason she is the choice of profit-minded dairy producers. “Without a value-added market for her superior product, where would we be today?” Page 17

All American Sale Posts Second High Historial Average

packed house in the West Hall of the Kentucky Exposition Center, opportunity to bid online, breed-leading genomics and show-quality pedigrees were the perfect mix for a near-record average for the 60th All American Jersey Sale. Though Jersey breeders expect the very best from this showcase, their expectations were exceeded this year with a posted average of $7,086.32 and gross receipts of $375,575 on 53 lots. Two young bulls were syndicated for a sum total of $64,200. Fifty-one female lots sold for an average of $6,105.39. The volume buyer of the day, River Valley Farm, owned by the Sauder family of Tremont, Ill., purchased eight lots for $99,500, including the four high-selling females. Genomics continued to play a key role

in the premium prices that were paid. More than half of the offerings sold with contracts or interest from A.I. organizations and 14 ranked on the breed’s leading genomic Sale Analysis

When auctioneer Lynn Lee’s gavel fell for the last time, 26 buyers from 18 states coast-to-coast and border-to-border made purchases. The All American Jersey Sale was the high-averaging sale reported to the Jersey Journal in 2012 and is the eighth high-averaging sale in breed history. This year’s average is the second high for the series, behind the $7,793.33 average posted in 1996. Syndicated Bulls Two bulls were syndicated through The All American Jersey Sale this year. The high-selling bull, All Lynns Hendrix Nitro, was purchased by a group of 29 breeders for $34,800 and will be sampled by Select Sires Inc. in Plain City, Ohio.

Four High-Selling Females As mentioned earlier, River Valley Farm purchased the four high-selling females—a group of high-powered genomic heifers that sold for a sum total of $76,500. The four heifers have an average GJPI of +216 and sold with written contracts or expressed interest for sons from half a dozen A.I. organizations. They are well-suited to the lineup at River Valley Farm, which has been purchasing high-end females at a number of elite consignment sales this year, including the high sellers at the National Heifer Sale and the Summer Hummer Sale. Also in the heifer pens at River Valley Farm is the historical high seller of the Pot O’Gold Sale, Cal-Mart Medalist Brenley 5478-ET, who was purchased by Andy Sauder at the recent sale for $17,600. “Going into the All American this year, we focused on bringing home females for our donor dam and bull mother program,”

said David Jordan, the marketing manager at River Valley Farm. The farm’s extensive on-farm embryo transfer and in-vitro fertilization program flushes 20-plus females each month and includes a number of the breed’s most highly-visible females. “Our goal is to work with a group of females that can create an impact on the breed and provide genetics for the international marketplace. We look for cows and heifers ranked on the list of the Top 500 Females for GJPI with strong maternal lines, high indexes for health traits and cheese merit dollars and exceptional udders.” “We like to get these animals from sales like the All American Jersey Sale because public auctions are the best venue for determining fair market price. This year’s sale again proved to consignors that an elite female will bring good money because there are buyers willing to invest in the breed’s best genetics.” The Sauder family selected the female that carried the highest GJPI of the offering, All Lynns Renegade Viona-ET, for $23,500. The senior calf is sired by BW Renegade-ET, GJPI +155, and has GPTAs of +1,423M, +88F and +57P. She has a

GJPI of +218 and a GPTA of +3.1 for Productive Life. On sale day, she ranked #13 in the nation for heifer GJPI and currently ranks #5 for fat among genotyped heifers. She tested free for JH1 and sold with A.I. interest from Accelerated Genetics, Genex/ CRI, Jerseyland Sires, Select Sires, Semex and Trans-America Genetics (TAG). “Viona” has 29 maternal brothers in A.I., including the breed’s leading G-code bull, All Lynns Legal Visionary-ET, GJPI +266, and the former #1 G-code bull, All Lynns Louie Valentino-ET, GJPI +219. Numerous other members of the family also rank for GJPI, including maternal sisters, All Lynns Critic Vadona-P-ET, ranked #6 among genotyped females with a GJPI of +260, and All Lynns Dimension VenettaET, ranked #10 with a GJPI of +254. Their dam is the well-known D&E Paramount Violet, whose offspring have been heavily merchandised by consignor David Allen in recent years. “Violet,” an Excellent-90% “Paramount” daughter, was bred by the late AJCA Master Breeder, Donnie Sherman, and has three lactations over 20,000 lbs. milk.

“Puzzle” Puts It All Together for National Jersey Show

ersey breeders world-wide were first introduced to Cascadia Iatola Puzzle one year ago when she was named All American Senior Two-Year-Old cow. This year she solidified her spot in the Jersey history books as the 2012 National Grand Champion and fourth Supreme Champion of the North American International Livestock Exposition (NAILE) dairy show. The senior three-year-old, owned by Gene Iager, Pleasant Plain, Ohio, has had an outstanding year as she was also tapped as the Supreme Champion of the Pennsylvania All-American Dairy Show in September, placed third in a tough class of senior three-year-olds at the International Jersey Show in Madison, Wis., and then took the top honors at the largest Jersey show in the world, The All American Jersey Show, beating all of her competition. The show held on November 5, 2012, in Louisville, Ky., culminated a weekend that saw 585 Registered Jerseys parade through the ring throughout a three-day period. Standing next to her in the winner’s circle as the Reserve National Grand Champion was the first place five-year-old, WF Attaboy Tiffany, bred and owned by Zachary Stiles, Clear Brook, Va. “This is just a beautiful pair of cows” said Judge Kevin Lutz, Lincolnton, N.C. Lutz, with his consultant, Kevin Williams, McConnelsville, Ohio, was charged with sorting through the 356 Registered Jerseys in The All American Jersey Show. This was Lutz’s second time to judge the All American Jersey Show. He has judged every show on the All American schedule beginning with the junior show in 1998, the National Jersey Jug Futurity in 1999,

and the open show in 2003 and 2012. He and his children, Cameron and Krista Lutz, own and operate Treasure Chest Jerseys in Lincolnton, N.C. His consultant, Kevin Williams has participated in the All American events since he was a youth. Not only did he judge the All American Junior Show in 1999 and the National Jersey Jug Futurity in 2004, but he has won the futurity twice. In 1996, C Tops Impressive took top honors and two years later the Williams family won with Regal Flair. Championship Classes “It has been a great show today,” said Lutz during his grand champion reasons. “I think all of these cows out here are incredible.” As the crowd admired the two Intermediate Champions, the two Senior Champions and the two Junior Champions, Judge Lutz told the crowd, “It is very close for champion today. We love both of these cows.” “This Intermediate Champion will be your Grand Champion today,” said Lutz. “We are making her best udder of the show and giving her the advantage in height and width to her udder.” “Our reserve champion will be this beautiful five-year-old,” continued Lutz. As applause filled Freedom Hall, Jeff Brown and Mike Stiles made their way to the center of the ring with “Puzzle” and “Tiffany” to take their place in the history books of The All American Jersey Show. Intermediate and Senior Champions “We want to thank these exhibitors for

pion for her owner, Brady Core, Salvisa, Ky. In the senior champion class, Judge Lutz pulled his four-year-old cow, first and second place five-year-olds and his aged cow to the center of the ring. “This is an incredible group of cows,” said Lutz. “For senior champions we are going with this pair of five-year-olds.” WF Attaboy Tiffany, owned by Zachary Stiles and Hawarden Pixar Star, exhibited by Keightley & Core Jerseys, Nabholz, and Woods, Salvisa, Ky., took center ring to claim their championship banners.

The Milking Classes “What a great class of milking yearlings,” said Judge Lutz about the 34 milking yearlings. “I think we have the best udder pretty easily on this top cow.” Receiving the Henry P. Knolle Trophy for first place milking senior yearling was Ratliff Action Angel, bred and owned by Ron and Christy Ratliff, Garnett, Kan., and a daughter of the only three-time National Grand Champion, Ratliff Price Alicia. She was also best udder, first place premier performance winner and best bred and owned in the class. “She may not be the biggest cow,” said Lutz of his winner. “But she is much higher and wider at the top of that rear udder and the most dairy heifer in the class.” Following in second was the “big, strong” KCJF Motions Comotion, last year’s Reserve Junior Champion of the show. She was exhibited by Keightley & Core, M. Fleming, B. Kuhne, and D. Schirm, Salvisa, Ky.

“These first two cows just caught our eye when they walked out,” praised Lutz of his winners in the class of 32 junior two-yearold cows. “Both are big, powerful and have great rear udders. ” Topping the class was Meadowridge Jackknife Summer, owned by Roger Riebe, Cumberland, Wis. She was also awarded best udder and best bred and owned in the class. “The first cow looked great every time I looked at her,” said Lutz. Placing second in the class was the Reserve Premier Performance cow of the show—Norse Star Iatola Brooklyn, owned by Jason Fremstad, Westby, Wis. She was named second best udder in the class.

She was also the second premier performance cow in the class. She placed over the “beautiful rearuddered” cow in second, Ratliff Action Dazzle-ET, owned by Herby, Amanda, and Hobbs Lutz.

WF Standout Gigi was named All American Junior Three-Year-Old Cow for Waverly Farm as they captured their first of three All American awards of the day. She was also best bred and owned and second premier performance cow in class. “What a great uddered cow to start this class,” said Lutz of his winner and best udder of the class. “She has that advantage in fore udder and also has more flex to her hock than our second cow.” The “tremendous open-ribbed” cow, KCJF Governors Reagan, followed in second and captured Reserve All American honors. She was second best udder and the premier performance winner of the class. Placing third was a “stylish” cow in South Haven Gov Rose, owned and exhibited by MacKenzie Poole, Westerminster, Md.

“What a great pair of cows to start this class,” said Lutz at the start of his senior three-year-old reasons. “It comes down to this really silky-hided, thin-hided cow.” Winning the All American Senior ThreeYear-Old honors was the eventual Intermediate, Grand and Supreme Champion cow, and last year’s All American Senior Two-Year-Old—Cascadia Iatola Puzzle. She was shown by Gene Iager and was also named the best uddered cow of the show. “But we do love this huge, strong, deep, open-bodied cow in second,” said Lutz of his future Reserve Intermediate Champion, Ratliff Minister Porscha-ET owned by Christy Ratliff.

“What a close placing at the top of this class,” said Lutz. “We made a switch here at the end based on how the first cows fore udder blends more smoothly with the body wall and depth of fore and rear rib.” Taking top honors in the class was Marys Asteroid, bred and owned by Mary Katherine Rawn, Charles Town, W.

She received best udder accolades and second premier performance cow in class. “This is a big, long, dairy cow in second” said Lutz of South Mountain Voltage SpiceET, owned by Ben Sauder, Tremont, Ill.

“Ritzy” Continues Her Special Impact on Keightley and Core Family

any times concessions must be made in times of tradgedy. This year’s National Jersey Jug Futurity Winner shows the good that can come from those hard fought times. Three years ago, Jersey breeders close to the Core family of Salvisa, Ky., were sending many prayers their way as they learned Jeff Core had been involved in a serious accident and was nearly crushed by a large haybale. Doctors were unsure whether they would need to amputate his foot at the time. For a small farm family, everyone had to step up to the plate and help. For this family it meant their only son, Brady Core, would need to put his college classes on hold for a time to run the dairy while his father recovered. Luckily for all, this story has a very happy ending. Jeff recovered fully and Brady got ready to head off to an internship at Yosemite Jersey Dairy in Hilmar, Calif. Before he left his mom and dad, Alta Mae and Jeff, told him to pick a calf out of the calf hutches for his dedication to the farm. His pick was a beautiful dark colored calf named KCJF Tracer Ritzy. On November 4, 2012, that choice made perhaps her largest impact yet as she was named the 59th winner of the National Jersey Jug Futurity. “What a nice cow to head up this class” said Judge Dean Dohle, Half Way, Mo., of his class winner. “She isn’t the biggest cow in the class, but when you analyze her she is the cow with the least amount of holes.” This is the third time that a Keightley & Core bred animal has won the National Jersey Jug Futurity. In 1983, K.J.F. Dynamo Lassie Jill was crowned the winner and then in 2008, KCJF Sambo Molly took top honors of the prestigious show. Since the Futurity began in 1954, over 43,000 Registered JerseysTM have been

nominated. More than 3,200 of them have come to the show and competed for more than $425,000. Each year, breeders from around the United States select and nominate their calves for the National Jersey Jug Futurity. An annual fee is then paid to retain that animal’s place in the competition. Three years after the original nomination, the cows travel to Louisville, Ky., to participate in what remains arguably the most glamorous show in the world. The Pre-Show Ceremonies As the lights in Freedom Hall dimmed, the spotlight centered brightly on the 28 entries that were introduced to the arena crowd and the Jersey enthusiasts around the world watching on the live streaming video. The group of junior and senior three-year-old cows were ready to compete in the oldest, largest and richest class for dairy cows in the world. “Falling for Jerseys” was the theme chosen to showcase the class in Freedom Hall. Spotlights set off the stage where a replica barn door and three park benches adorned the area that would seat the National Jersey Queen and her court. In the darkened arena, the spotlight centered on the new National Jersey Queen and her court. Crowned the evening before as the 2012 National Jersey Queen was Jessica Smith, Picayune Miss. She was selected from a group of nine candidates. The daughter of Mark and Debbie Smith is a senior at Pearl River Central High School. Her roots in agriculture, and especially the Jersey breed, and her knowledge of farming shine through to everyone she talks to. Not surprisingly, she plans to pursue a degree in agribusiness and marketing at Mississippi State University, to be an

Selected as the first alternate was Kaitlyn Riley, Gays Mills, Wis. She is a junior at the University of Wisconsin-Madison majoring in agricultural journalism. She is directing her energies at educating the consuming public about farming, and doing that through internships with a Wisconsin radio station and the local newspaper. Named as second alternate was Kelli Carstensen, Petaluma, Calif. She is a senior majoring in dairy science with a minor in agribusiness at California Polytechnic State University and received the 2012 Russell-Malnati Scholarship recipient for Advanced Studies. Escorting the queens were three young men actively involved in the Jersey youth programs: Clark Egelston, N. Y., Tommy Allen, Reedsburg, Wis., and Steven Wetmore, Mt. Ulla, N.C.

From the 766 nominations made in 2009, 28 three-year-olds entered the ring and took their turn in the spotlight for a formal introduction by AJCA-NAJ Executive Secretary Neal Smith. Dean Dohle served as the judge and Tom

McCauley, Lowell, Mich., served as his consultant. The Final Six As the lights came back up, the cows made their trek around the ring. The judges observed the class from all angles and began to make their cuts. The crowd worked (continued to page 50)

They handed a sheet of paper with the results on it to Master of Ceremonies Neal Smith to count down in reverse order—from sixth, to fifth, then to fourth, third and until only two cows were left in the center of the ring—Harmony Corners Fozzy-ET and KCJF Tracer Ritzy.

and looked at both cows and then walked to “Ritzy” and laid it over her shoulders declaring her the winner. “What a pleasure it is to get to line up such a beautiful class of three-year-old cows from top to bottom,” said Dohle. “Just a tremendous, tremendous group of cows from one end to the other.” As Core and Keith Topp walked their winning entries to their places at the head of the line, Judge Dohle began his reasons. “This first cow just has that bloom and pop to the mammary system,” explained Dohle. “She treks out on a very correct set of feet and legs and just has that beautiful (continued to page 53)

The Awards Each year the Jersey Jug Futurity is the richest purse in an individual dairy class. In 2012, $9,770 of premiums were collected in nomination and annual fees. “Ritzy” received a check for $2,181.00. The top 15 cows, their owners, and premiums are: 1.

Nabholz is 10th Recipient of Max Gordon Award Norman Nabholz, West Union, Iowa, has been named the 10th recipient of the Max Gordon Recognition Award. Nabholz was honored at a ceremony held during the National Jersey Jug Futurity in Louisville, Ky., on November 4, 2012. The Max Gordon Recognition Award is given annually to an exhibitor who possesses the five key elements for which the award’s namesake stood: sportsmanship, ethics, professionalism, ability and promotion of the Jersey cow. Recipients are chosen by a committee of individuals who have previously received the Max Gordon Recognition Award. “It is fitting that Norm receive this award as he and Max were longtime friends and shared a mutual respect for each other as promoters of the Jersey breed,” said Phil Gordon, Syracuse, Ind., son of the late Max Gordon. “Norm has brought young people and the Jersey cow together countless times over the years; many of these young people are breeding Jersey cattle today thanks to Norm’s mentoring abilities.” Nabholz is known across the dairy industry for having a keen eye for the kind of cattle that can bring premium prices in

the auction ring and earn purple banners in the show ring. He has owned or sold 16 cows that earned Grand Champion titles at World Dairy Expo; two were subsequently named Supreme Champion. He has also exhibited two National Grand Champions (Responses Wonder in 2001 and Blacky Rose of Briarcliffs in 2002), two winners of the National Jersey Jug Futurity (K.J.F Dynamo Lassie Jill in 1983 and Nabdon Second Patsy in 1992) and two Grand Champions of the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair (RAWF). He has been presented with the Premier Breeder and Premier Exhibitor banners at shows from coast-to-coast. Nabholz has operated a sales business

from Nabholz Farm since 1975. Though 80% of the business receipts come from selling cattle to commercial dairy producers across the country, Nabholz is widely recognized for his elite sales which have auctioned some of the Jersey and Holstein breed’s high selling females. Two special offerings held in conjunction with the Field of Dreams series managed by Nabholz—Primetime in the Heartland and Chosen Few at Country Hills—rank as the Jersey breed’s historical high and second high-averaging sales with respective averages of $8,823.48 and $8,506.82. The second high-selling female in breed history, Llolyn Jude Griffen-ET, sold through the Field of Dreams III sale in June 2005 for $80,000 and then became National Grand Champion five months later. Nabholz has judged dairy cattle domestically in more than 30 states and internationally in four Canadian provinces, Australia, Argentina, Ecuador and Mexico. He has judged both World Dairy Expo and the RAWF three times and served as an official for the Hoard’s Dairyman judging contest. Though Nabholz has developed a reputation for recognizing fancy type across breeds, Jerseys are his first love and (continued to page 58)

his passion. He runs his sales business from the family farm, which has been Jersey since it was purchased by his father, Milford, and uncle, Marshall, in 1966. Nabholz got his feet wet in the show arena as a youth at the National Dairy Cattle Congress when he helped care for show strings owned by prominent Jersey exhibitors such as Heaven Hill. He was high individual overall and a member of the Iowa State University dairy judging team that won the contest at the National Dairy Cattle Congress in 1975. Nabholz authored the book, “Millionaires in the Cornfields: The Glory Days of the National Dairy Cattle Congress,” to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the show in 2011. National Dairy Shrine honored Nabholz with the Klussendorf Memorial Trophy for sportsmanship in 1989. Previous winners include: George Barlass, Janesville, Wis. (2011), Jim VanBuskirk, Mich. (2010); Brian Sayles, Ont. (2009); Mike Stiles, Va. (2008); the late Harry Mykrantz, Ohio (2007); Ronnie Rider, Ky. (2006); Chuck Myers, Ohio (2005); Charles Luchsinger, N.Y. (2004); and Ron Mosser, Ind. (2003).

Third National Title in All American Junior Show for Sauder

or the third time in the past four years, Ben Sauder of Tremont, Ill., captured Grand Champion of The All American Junior Jersey Show. On Saturday, November 3, 2012, Sauder became only the second Jersey junior to win three or more National Championships in the junior show. Sauder has captured three honors (2009, 2011, 2012) and joins Brady Core of Salvisa, Ky., who has four wins to his credit. This year it was his senior three-year-old cow, BW Venerable Korina S418, that took home top honors for Sauder at the 60th All American Junior Jersey Show. Taking home Reserve Grand Champion laurels was Milo Centurion Sassafrass-ET, owned and exhibited by Patrick Youse of Ridgely, Md. It was Youse’s first trip to the winner’s circle in the national junior show. Charged with the task of judging the 201 Registered Jerseys in The All American Junior Show and naming the 2012 Junior and Reserve Junior All Americans was an up-and-coming young judge from Ohio, Chris Lahmers of Marysville. Assisting Chris was his consultant, Sean Johnson of Glenville, Pa. “Sean and I want to thank the youth for coming out here today and bringing such quality animals out,” said Judge Lahmers. “You have done an outstanding job today.” “Each of you exhibitors should go back and thank your parents for allowing you the opportunity to be a part of an event such as this,” said Lahmers. “This is certainly something you will never forget as you get older. You will look back on these things and remember the time you got to show on the green shavings in Louisville.” This was Lahmers first time to judge The All American Junior Show. In 2011, he judged the National Jersey Jug Futurity and also judged the International Brown Swiss Show in 2011 at World Dairy Expo. The All American Junior Jersey Show is the largest single-breed dairy cattle show for youth held in the world and kicks off a busy day for the Jersey juniors, as their morning began with the cow show at 8:00 a.m. and continued to mid-afternoon. Once the show finished, the youth hurried to the Pot O’Gold Sale in Newmarket Hall at 4:30 p.m. to make investments in their future

through the consignments. Following the sale, the juniors attended the All American Junior Banquet at 7:30 p.m. in the South Hall. During the banquet, more than 60 Jersey youth were recognized for their achievements throughout the past year. Junior All American and Reserve Junior All Americans Named During the championship classes, a total of 28 Registered Jerseys were recognized with the designation of Junior All American or Reserve Junior All American. Each first place individual was presented a framed All American gold seal certificate showcasing the winner’s name and class designation as a Junior All American. Framed Reserve Junior All American silver certificates were awarded to the runner-ups in each class. AJCA President Chris Sorenson, Pine River, Wis., and All American coordinator Dr. Cherie Bayer, offered their congratulations as presentations were made as the large ringside audience watched, along with an untold number of people across the world viewing the ceremonies on streaming live video provided by the North American International Livestock Exposition (NAILE). The Champions “When these cows came back out for senior champion today, it was quite easily this pair of senior three-year-old cows,” said Judge Lahmers of his champions BW Venerable Korina S418 and Milo Centurion Sassafras-ET. “We love the dairyness and the mammary systems on them.” “Both of these cows are fresh two times and just exhibit quality the entire way through,” continued Lahmers. “The first place cow is ultra dairy,” said Lahmers of “Korina.” “We love the silkiness of hide, the dairy quality all the way through, and the beautiful veination on her udder.” “Our reserve champion cow has been milking almost a year and follows the champion cow very well,” continued Lahmers about “Sassafrass.” “Korina” and Sauder received a $500 cash award from the NAILE.

In choosing the Junior Champion heifer, Judge Lahmers stated, “We fell in love with this summer yearling when she came in the ring. She has everything to make a great cow down the road.” Taking home the Junior Champion honors was Trevor Greiwe, Sidney, Ohio, with DKG Motion Nancy, the winning junior yearling heifer. “An excellent group of heifers out here

for junior champion,” said Lahmers. “We love the size, scale and dairy strength of this junior yearling.” For Reserve Junior Champion, Lahmers and Johnson chose the Junior All American Winter Yearling Heifer, Partee at Budjon Licorice-ET, exhibited by Emma Olstad, Stoughton, Wis. “This heifer is extra dairy with such a silky hide and open rib,” said Lahmers of “Licorice.” Taking home honorable mention honors was the winning senior calf, Gil-Bar RM

The milking senior yearling topped the class of eight cows and was named best udder and best bred and owned of the class. “We love the style, balance and straightness of lines that this first heifer has” said Lahmers of “Dannie.” “She is longer from end-to-end and we give her the advantage in her mammary system today, being snugger in her fore udder attachment.” “This is a beautiful uddered cow in second,” said Judge Lahmers. “When you get behind her, you love the height and width of the rear udder she has.” Placing second was Grettle Action Austin, exhibited by Lindsey Zettle, Freeport, Ill. She was the first place premier performance cow in the class. Following in third was Kilgus Tequila Maud owned and exhibited by Trent Kilgus,

In the class of 14 junior two-year-olds, it was the cow that is “a little cleaner all the way through” capturing top honors. Avonlea Iatola Victoria not only took home the All American award for the class, but also the best udder and was the first premier performance cow in the class. She was exhibited by Ben Sauder. “This young cow has a big advantage today in the extension of that fore udder and how it blends into the body wall,” explained Judge Lahmers. “She is also more balanced on the floor of the mammary system today.” Another Illinois owned cow took home the Reserve All American honors in the class. Hixson Indiana Ilene, owned by Ethan Graybill, was described by Judge Lahmers as a “beautiful ribbed cow” and used that to her advantage to place over the third place individual, Selin Tequila Sunrise, owned and exhibited by Austin Nauman, Viroqua, Wis., the second premier performance cow in the class.

Two more Ohio youth took top honors in the class of 11 summer yearling heifers. “Our heifer that moved to the top of this class is quite handily the winner for me,” said Lahmers of Mamies Medallion, shown by Kyle McGuire. “She is a middle of July heifer and shows so much style and balance out on the move.” She placed over the second place heifer, J-Kay Tequila Morgan, bred and owned by Jacob Morgan, Urbana, Ohio. “This second heifer just logically follows our top heifer,” said Lahmers. “She is just as straight in her lines and just as correct in her feet and legs.” It was the correctness in her feet and legs that placed her over the third place heifer, WC Madman Starlite, exhibited by Allison Massey.

“We have a nice pair of heifers to start this class,” said Lahmers of his All American and Reserve All American. “We give our first heifer an advantage in rump structure and how the tail head sits more desirably between the pin bones.” Placing first in the class was the eventual Junior Champion, DKG Motion Nancy, that captured the second Junior All American title of the day for her owner, Trevor Greiwe. The “style and angularity” of Kyles Louie Moonlight, exhibited by Janelle

Remington, carried her over the “big, strong, powerful” Xanadu MG Wild Thing, bred and exhibited by George Thomas Colpetzer, Greenville, Pa.

Per Capita Dairy Consumption While a lot of attention focuses on the ongoing trend downward in per capita fluid milk consumption, cheese and—more recently yogurt—have helped lead to an increase in overall dairy consumption, according to the Central federal marketing order administrator’s November 2012 Marketing Service Bulletin (www.fmmacentral.com). Based on preliminary 2011 USDA Economic Research Service data, per capita consumption of fluid milk and cream was 201 lbs., 2.4% lower than 2010 and the lowest annual amount recorded between 1975 and 2011. That’s in sharp contrast to the dramatic upward trend in per capita cheese consumption, which passed fluid products on a milk-equivalent basis in the late 1980s and increased in 21 of the past 23 years. 2011 per capita cheese consumption increased 1.1% from 2010, and is 134.8% greater than 1975. Mozzarella posted the largest gains among hard cheeses. Yogurt consumption increased from 2.0 lbs. per person in 1975 to 13.7 lbs. in 2011 (+585.0%). Consumption of all dairy products on a milk equivalent basis grew by 65 lbs. per person (+12.1%), increasing from 539 lbs. in 1975 to 604 lbs. in 2011. Page 78

After steady contention from several interested buyers, the home stretch of the bidding war found Kara Maxwell, Donahue, Iowa, and Sauder competing to take home the well-grown heifer. When the gavel fell on “Brenley,” listed as Lot 9 in the catalog, Sauder had placed a final bid of $17,600, to secure the unique sire-stack of this heifer as an asset River Valley Farm. It was more than the highly regarded sires of this heifer calf which caught the interest of Sauder, as she is a Sunset Canyon Medalist, GJPI +163, out of a Isau Daraway Flowerpower Navara-ET, GJPI +129, out of a ISDK Q Impuls, GJPI +167. The high component make-up of this nearly 10-month-old calf’s pedigree was the cherry on top for the attractive, well-grown calf in the ring. “Brenley,” who had the highest GJPI of the sale with +209, had a USDA GPTA of +543M, +60F, +40P and +5.4 for Productive Life at the time of the sale. Her dam, Cal-Mart Navara Blaise 2581, Very Good-85%, has a best record of 2-0 305 17,160 5.5% 947 4.0% 682 97DCR. She ranked on the October 2012 Top 1.5% GJPI list. “Blaise” has three brothers in A.I. at ABS Global and an additional brother in A.I. at Alta Genetics. The heifer has several generations of high-producing dams, with her six immediate dams slating records of more than 17,000 lbs. milk. Her grandam, CalMart Impuls Blinda 8473, Very Good-87%, GJPI +128, has a best record of 3-10 305

Kara Maxwell took a break from helping lead Pot O’Gold animals into the ring to secure the second high seller of the day, Waunakee Plus Jolt 3277-ET, for $11,600. Pictured with Maxwell are Cassie Krull, Logan Elmore, Elizabethtown, Ky., at the hatler of “Jolt” and Jason Robinson. They are joined by Brad Barham, Chris Lundgren and Lynn Lee in the box.

20,370 5.6% 1,132 4.3% 866 98DCR. The next two Very Good dams have each produced records exceeding 20,000 lbs. milk. “Brenley” also has five sisters that rank for GJPI and JPI. After contending on the high selling lot, Kara Maxwell, who placed sixth in the 2012 Pot O’Gold Production Contest, took interest in the next lot of the catalog, ultimately placing a bid of $11,600 on Waunakee Plus Jolt 3277-ET, GJPI +185, a P9 heifer from Gerald Laufenberg, Mount Horeb, Wis. The 11-month-old calf, who has a brother at Alta Genetics and a sister that ranked on the Top 500 GJPI list in October, sold with an A.I. contract to Jerseyland Sires, with further interest from Select Sires, Semex and Accelerated Genetics. Jonas Tate, Hilmar, Calif., was the contender on this calf. “Jolt” had the highest USDA GPTA at sale time for milk at +1,235M, while slating a +54F and +43P. High production is a staple in the pedigree of this heifer, with her dam, DenKel Jevon Jerry-ET, Very Good-88%, GJPI +174, posting a record of 305 3x 22,210 4.8% 1,068 3.5% 780 93DCR at 1-10. “Jerry” ranked in October on the Top 1.5% list for GJPI and has two brothers in A.I. at Select Sires and three more brothers in A.I. at ABS Global. She also has a slew of high-producing sisters with records exceeding 17,000 lbs. milk, with four of those sisters ranking for GJPI in their respective category. The grandam of “Jolt,” is Excellent-91%, and has produced several records exceeding 20,000 lbs. milk, with a best record of 4-2 365 25,240 5.1% 1,294 4.0% 1,000 102DCR. “Julie” also has four sisters that rank for GJPI.

JERSEY JOURNAL

Meet the Latest National Jersey Queen

I cannot imagine my life without Jersey cattle. Whether it was at our own farm, or my Grandpa’s dairy, or at a cattle show, I grew up realizing everything in our lives revolved around the cattle. Hello, my name is Jessica Smith, the 17-year-old daughter of Mark and Debbie Smith of Picayune, Miss. I am the newly selected National Jersey Queen. My family owns and operates Triple S Farms, a small farm in PicaSmith yune, which consists of Registered Jerseys and beef cattle. The farm has been in the family for more than 60 years. When I was little, I remember going to the barn with Dad to tend to our herd and we always had a Jersey calf or two to bottle feed for our 4-H projects. My affiliation with Jersey cattle has led 2012 to be an exciting year for me with travel and competitions. And I am looking forward to 2013 and serving as your National Queen. New friends have already been made and I am looking forward to meeting many more people and learning even more about the Jersey breed. I would like to express my thanks to the Jersey Jug committee for their efforts and dedication to the Queen’s program. They are a great group to work with and I want to personally thank them for their warm welcome. I would also like to commend the All American committees for an outstanding Jersey show and sale in Louisville, Ky., this year. And, being chosen as your new queen was very exciting, but placing the Top 5 in the senior showmanship competition was definitely another highlight in my trip to Louisville. It has been a great 2012 for the Jersey cow and I know 2013 will be even better! With my involvement in 4-H, I am currently serving as the Mississippi State 4-H Vice-President. I’ve had the opportunity to attend National 4-H Congress and will be attending the National 4-H Conference in Washington D.C. this year. Being the high individual at our state dairy judging contest, has allowed me to coach younger 4-H’ers in our county. Besides my 4-H projects, I stay busy with extracurricular activities and am passionate about singing! I placed in the Top 5(nationally) in the National Anthem Singing Contest, winning a $5,000 scholarship and a fun-filled trip to Nashville to record in the House of Blues Studio. January 2013

Thanks to my agricultural background, I was chosen to represent Pearl River County as the 2013 Distinguished Young Woman. I was thrilled to know I would be securing scholarships for my education, but more than that I was proud to be a voice for agriculture both locally and statewide. I really cannot imagine my life without cattle, especially Jerseys. My Dad and his siblings grew up milking and showing Jerseys, and he wanted me to share his love for the breed. I have so much gratitude to share with my Dad and to the Jersey breeders who have encouraged

me and supported the many youth activities over the years. My involvement with cattle has opened so many doors of opportunity educationally and for making new friends. Without them, I would not be where I am today. And without Jersey cattle in my life, I would not be who I am today.

Active A.I. Bulls Ranked By GJPI, December 2012 The 115 Jersey bulls listed are coded as Active A.I. for the December 2012 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 11 bulls that are not genomically tested, are listed with their traditionally calculated evaluation. These 104 genotyped bulls average +644M, +41F, +27P; for Lifetime Net Merit, Cheese Merit +$329; Net Merit +$297, and Fluid Merit +$275. Other group averages are Somatic Cell Score, 3.01; Productive NAME OF BULL

Appraisal Trait Rankings Predicted Transmitting Abilities (PTA) for each of the 15 breakdown traits, final score, and Jersey Udder Index (JUI) are provided on the opposite page. There are six two-way traits among the 15 listed: Foot Angle (low or steep); Rear Legs (posty to sickle); Rump Angle (high to low); Teat Placement (wide to close); Udder Depth (deep to shallow); and Teat Length (long to short). The PTAs for linear traits (with the exception of body depth) are used in the JPI calculation and are weighted by their relative economic value in increasing net income.

Appraisal Traits for Active A.I. Bulls Ranked By GJPI 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. In March 2010 the rules of Genetic 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 GJPI GJPI REL NAME OF BULL

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. JH1 Status Animals that have been determined to be carriers (C) or non-carriers (F) of the Jersey Haplotyte 1 are identfied under the JH1 heading on the previous page.

PERFORMANCE REPORT

REAP Herds Ranked By GJPI Average The top 25% of U.S. Jersey herds ranked by average Jersey Performance IndexTM are listed below. This list includes qualifying herds with an average GJPI of +46 or greater. Listed next to the number of cows in the herd is the percent of the herd that has been genotyped and are included in the average. Herds must be enrolled in the AJCA REAP program to be included in the ranking and have at least 10 Registered Jerseys with JPIs. Cows with genomic evaluations are included in the average. All cows must have registry status of HR (no prefix), GR or PR, and must have calved within the past 15 months with no termination code associated with the current lactation. In the case of ties, the herd ranked higher for Predicted Transmitting Ability Protein (PTAP) is listed first. Any herds that remain tied are then listed in order of herd average for PTA Milk (PTAM). There are 212 herds listed with an average JPI of +61. Retaining their

dominance at the top of the list for the third consecutive genetic summary is Gerald Laufenberg, Mount Horeb, Wis. His 23-cow herd averages +120 JPI with 83% of the herd being genotyped. Fellow Wisconsin Jersey breeder David Allen, Reedsburg, ranks second for the third consecutive run with 53 cows averaging +111 for JPI (40% genotyped). Moving up one place is Oomsdale Farm, Valatie, N.Y., with an average JPI of +104 on 41 cows, with 59% of the herd genotyped. Ranking fourth is Tony Meier, Palmer, Kan., with a +101 JPI on 15 cows (73% genotyped). Rounding out the top five is the 1,067 cow herd of Martin Dairy LLC, Tillamook, Ore. The herd has an average JPI of +95 and is 21% genotyped. There were 109,980 cows in 823 REAP herds summarized in the December 2012 genetic evaluations with an average JPI of +45. PTA averages for the breed were +209M, +15F, +9P, +126 CM$, +115 NM$ and +106 FM$.

Top 200 Females with Genomic Evaluations by GJPI, December 2012 The top 200 Jersey females—cows and heifers—with genomic evaluations are ranked by Jersey Performance Index™ (GJPI), below. Cows must (1) have registry status of HR (no prefix), GR or PR; (2) have a genomic evaluation; (3) have calved within the past 27 months; and (4) not have a termination code associated with the current lactation. Heifers must (1) have registry status of HR or GR, (2) be no older than three years of age on December 1, 2012, and (3) not have a GPTA based on lactation information.

Genomic evaluations are calculated from one of three sources of information. The source is identified in the column labeled GT as follows: GT, cow/heifer was genotyped; GI, genotype for cow was imputed from genotypes of progeny, but the cow is not genotyped; and GA, evaluation includes information from genotypes or imputed genotypes of ancestors, but cow/heifer is not genotyped. Jersey haplotype 1 tested carriers or non-carriers are designated in the third column with a C or F.

Top 200 Cows for Jersey Performance Index (Traditional), December 2012 The top 200 cows ranked by traditionally calculated Jersey Premformance IndexTM (JPI) from the December 2012 USDA-AJCA genetic evaluations are listed below. These cows have not been genomically tested and do not have a genomic evaluation (GPTA). These cows must have calved within the past 27 months and have at least one lactation of 100 days or more. Cows lacking linear appraisal information are included in the JPI ranking by using a Parent Average estimate for FTI, provided the cow was under four years of age on December 1, 2012.

appraisal information used in the JPI calculation are distinguished by a “0” in the number of type records (REC) column. JPI combines production and type trait information into a single economic index, includes six factors with weighted averages of 42% PTA Protein, 15% PTA Fat, 15% FTI, 12% PTA PL, 10% PTA DPR, and 6% PTA SCS. The cows average +1,247M, +55F, +44P and JPI +172 with average Reliability of 52%. Lifetime Net Merit indexes are Cheese Merit +$441; Net Merit +$411, and Fluid Merit +$395.

JERSEY JOURNAL

Though polled genetics have been a niche market for Jersey breeders for many years, they have gained a broader appeal in recent years for several reasons. Genotyping has identified polled animals that rival their horned peers from a genetic standpoint and made it possible to identify animals that are homozygous polled. As well, any time dehorning can be eliminated, the value of polled genetics increases. The board of directors of the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) approved the publication of a new listing of the breed’s top 100 polled females in the Green Book effective with the December 2012 genetic evaluations. In this month’s Jersey Jargon column, we’ll take a closer look at this new listing and the polled gene in the Jersey breed. New Listing The “Top 100 Polled Females by Ge-

nomic JPI” can be found online at http:// greenbook.usjersey.com/CowsHeifers. aspx. The list is available in PDF and Excel formats. Cows and heifers are ranked in descending GJPI, but can be sorted in another manner in the Excel document. For example, you can sort animals by owner name, GPTA pounds protein or GFI. The list includes the animal’s registration name and number, owner, JH1 status and evaluations for a number of traits. The type of genotype used in the calculation of the evaluation (3K, 6K, 8K or 50K) is included. Cows and heifers that have GJPIs calculated from ancestors (GA) or imputed (GI) are also included in the listing. The cutoff minimum for the December listing is +119 GJPI. Polled Sires Though the trend of polled animals in the Jersey breed has remained relatively constant at 1% since 2002, the influence of the polled gene is likely to increase because there are now more choices for polled sires. There are 10 polled bulls on the current list of G-code bulls and seven

on the list of Active A.I. sires. Maack Dairy Eclipes-P-ET, GJPI +81, has 2,279 registered daughters to date and was the leading sire of sons registered by the AJCA in 2011. Schultz Legal CriticP ranks #22 among G-code bulls at +221 and has been heavily used in contract matings in recent months. One of his daughters, Sun Valley Critic R Maid, was the third high-selling female at the All American Jersey Sale in November at $17,000. Polled Gene Basics The term polled is used to describe animals that do not develop horns. Though it is infrequent, the polled gene is dominant when it is paired with a horned gene. Thus, animals that are heterozygous for the polled trait (one polled gene and one horned gene) will be naturally polled. When a heterozygous polled animal is mated to a horned animal, half of their progeny will be polled and half will be horned. Animals that are homozygous for the polled trait (two polled genes) will yield progeny that are all polled, regardless of the status of the mate. Homozygous (continued to page 117)

Thank You to River Valley Farm, IL, for purchasing our consignment at The All American Sale, Sun Valley Critic R Maid. She was the third high selling female of the day. We wish you the very best with this extraordinary heifer from the “Maid” family.

Lavan Named Ohio Area Representative Gregory M. Lavan, Gambier, Ohio, has been named an Area Representative for the American Jersey Cattle Association and National AllJersey Inc., effective December 1, 2012. Lavan will provide on-farm service in Ohio, and Lavan also travel nationwide as an evaluator for the AJCA Linear Type Traits Appraisal program. “Greg brings more than 20 years of experience as a Jersey dairyman and breeder and first-hand knowledge about the programs and services of the USJersey organizations,” said Neal Smith, Executive Secretary and CEO. “His cowside knowledge and marketing experience will be valuable in serving the varied needs of our customers in Ohio.” With his wife Kendra, Lavan established Rosevale Jerseys in 1991 after completing a B.S. degree in dairy science at The Ohio State University and working four years at Buttercrest Jerseys, Croton, Ohio. Starting with 20 cows in a 42-cow tie stall barn, the herd was expanded to 50 cows enrolled on the AJCA REAP program with several bulls placed into A.I. sampling programs. Since January of 2012, Lavan has worked as an AJCA linear type evaluator while maintaining the dairy operation until its sale in the spring. He was a recipient of the AJCA Young Jersey Breeder Award in 2000.

Letter To The Editor Just sending a quick note of thanks to all that made this All American so memorable for me. First I would like to thank the staff of the AJCA who work with a smile to insure the promotion of the Jersey cow. Without them the show couldn’t and wouldn’t be the success it is. Thanks as well, to the folks at the North American International Livestock Exposition (NAILE) who also make sure that everything is done first class. I have shown cattle all over North America and nowhere are the exhibitors treated as well as they are by the management of the NAILE. And last I would like to thank the previous Max Gordon award winners for honoring me with the beautiful trophy. It is more than humbling to be amongst the previous winners, all of whom I consider friends. As most people know Max Gordon was my idol from my childhood on. To this day I have never met a finer gentleman, a smarter cowman or bigger promoter of the Jersey cow. I will cherish the honor as long as I live. Sincere Thanks, Norman Nabholz, West Union, Iowa

Jersey Jargon (continued from page 115)

polled animals can only result from the pairing two polled animals. The Jersey breed has a higher frequency of naturally polled births than any other dairy breed, so Jersey breeders should make a habit of looking for naturally polled animals so they aren’t missed. Polled Animals and the AJCA Polled animals are registered by the AJCA using the suffix “P” at the end of their registration names. Animals that are homozygous polled are registered using the “PP” suffix after their names. Jersey breeders should keep in mind that the suffix “P” does not qualify genotype (homozygous versus heterozygous). It simply indicates that the animal is naturally polled based on visual observation. The suffix “PP” is used when the animal has been genotyped and determined to be homozygous for the polled gene. Jersey breeders can now test for polled/ horn status as a stand-alone test or in conjunction with genotyping. As an add-on for genotyping, the cost is $25 per animal for REAP herds and $30 per animal for others. As a stand-alone test or for stored January 2013

Since that first Grand Champion, the family has continued to make the trip south each November to cap off their Jersey show season, before settling into the grandkids basketball games and various other winter events. “Anyone interested in dairy cattle needs to go to The All American Show to see what is easily the best group of Jersey cows in the country all in one place,” said Steve. “The milking senior yearling and junior two-year-olds ought to impress anyone in the dairy industry, not just Jersey breeders.

a record price on $20,000. This marked the same period of time the Bachelors began showing cattle. “We would travel in box cars to shows in Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio and Indiana, sometimes being gone six weeks at a time,” said Steve. The Bachelors were doing much more than just taking to the tanbark during that time though, they were building their herd and the genetic base of their animals. To help this task, the family purchased several young sires, proved them, then sold them, including “Liberator.” A daughter out of that sire, Liberators Ruby, was one of Max’s favorite cows and was named Grand Champion at the Indiana State Fair as a two-year-old. The Indiana Jersey Cattle Club honored Bachelor Farms in 1960 as their state Master Breeders. As the genetics and production of the herd grew, so did the number of cows and the size of the farm. The Bachelors continue to make additions and improvements to the farm and REAP herd, currently remodeling their calf facilities. They now milk 130 cows in a double 10 flat switch barn with 10 units and automatic take-offs. The cows are pastured through the summer months and fed hay, silage and grain in the winter months. They farm more than 2,200 acres with corn, beans, wheat, oats and hay.

The Farm Steve’s great-grandfather bought the home farm in 1864. The farm was originally home to beef cattle, pigs and a few milk cows. In 1953, Steve’s father Max decided to take a bigger leap into the dairy business, remodeling the barn to house 32 stanchons, a gutter cleaner and a new milk house. That was the same year Steve began 4-H, showing his very first heifer calf, Jersey Jester, who still has an influence in the Bachelor herd today. In 1955, the Bachelors purchased Mr. Jester Pinn and several of his daughters In 1958, the bull sold in the Folck Classic for

significant amount of time preparing their animals for show. While the Bachelors all enjoy every aspect of operating a Registered Jersey dairy, showing will always be at the top of their priority list as it has been for many years. In 1975, the Grand Champion of the Indiana State Fair came from Bachelor Farms. In 1977, a different Bachelor cow took top honors at the Indiana State Fair, furthering this family’s desire to be at the halter. One year after Cory, Curt and Shawn were all in 4-H, the Bachelors tied up 26 head of cattle at the state fair, making for an exciting and challenging year. One of the most memorable years in the show ring for this family was 1995. There is a plaque hanging in Steve and Lynda’s house that carefully recaps each (continued to page 120)

milestone from that year, a little gold plate for each accomplishment, given to them as a Christmas present from their family. In 1995, Bachelor Farms took home banners from the Indiana State Fair, Michigan State Fair and the Kentucky State Fair for Grand Champion Bull, two Grand Champion banners, three Reserve Grand Champion laurels, Reserve Junior Champion, Junior Champion of the Junior Show, Premier Exhibitor, and three awards for Premier Breeder. At World Dairy Expo that year, they exhibited the Grand Champion, Bachelors Lynx Marie, Reserve Intermediate Champion, Sky Line Duncan Helen, and Junior Champion of the Junior Show, Bachelors GG Dallas Louanne. Capping off their year at the All American Show, the Bachelor Family exhibited the All AmeriPage 120

can Jersey Jug Futurity Winner, Bachelors B Sooner Jessie, Excellent-91%, and were named both Premier Breeder and Premier Exhibitor. “My life has revolved around showing,” said Steve. “It’s something everyone has enjoyed and something we have been able to do as a family.” Living the Dairy Life As the dairy is nestled among the 101 lakes in Steuben County, Indiana, there are not many farms in the area, nor a large group of people that have an understanding of what showing dairy cattle is all about. “There have been times where the kids have missed their first few days of school in order to show at state fair,” said Lynda, who often wishes their non-dairy friends from home could experience the regality of dairy shows. “When school officials question

their absence, it’s been a great opportunity to explain to them we are not on vacation, our kids our working just as hard at these shows as they would be in school.” The Bachelor children begin showing well before they reach 4-H age, learning the ins-and-outs of selecting and caring for an animal. Cody, Jaycee, Layne and Morgan all won their division of the ISteuben County Fair showmanship contest in 2012, which is a testament to not only this families ability to breed excellent cows, but the time and commitment they put into what has become a family passion through several generations. While this family has had much success in the showing, their greatest triumph of all is the interest in Jersey cows throughout each generation, and the time they are able to spend together doing something they are all passionate about: showing Jerseys.

He grew up on a farm that has been continuously operated by his family for nearly a century. He was active in 4-H and FFA and graduated from Churchill County High School in 1946. He got his start with the dairy business milking cows by hand at the age of seven. He worked as a tester after graduation and then purchased the farm from his parents in 1947. He established Mills Jerseys with 18 cows. At his passing, the herd had grown to more than 450 cows and sustained not only his family, but the families of six other employees as well. His farm legacy is being continued by his grandson, Cameron.

Over the years, many members of the herd produced Hall of Fame and Honor Roll records and were ranked on genetic leader lists. Mills bred more than 60 bulls that entered A.I. sampling programs, including maternal brothers Mills Homestead and Mills Gold. He documented the first reported cases of the genetic abnormality Rectal and Vaginal Constriction (RVC) in the early 1970s. His willing cooperation with the American Jersey Cattle Club (AJCC) and Kansas State University was instrumental in the identification and understanding of RVC. Mills was appointed to the AJCC Board of Directors in 1971 to complete an unexpired term and was then re-elected for two consecutive terms. He served on the Special Abnormality Committee appointed by the board and was a member of the Performance Committee that worked with USDA to develop the composite indexes Predicted Difference for Type and Production Type Index, the predecessor of Jersey Performance Index.
