injured opossum. The students gained hands-on experience with dairy nutrition, as they had the opportunity to probe the rumen of a fistulated cow and witness and handle the digestive tracts of slaughtered cows. With the “Holy Cow” the students were able to observe the cow’s digestive system and feel inside the rumen of the cow. The juniors also examined the complete intact digestive system and demonstrated how feed processes through the tract. A second tract had the four stomachs dissected and the youth could view the product of each stomach. Cornell University staff and graduate students, Dr. Debbie Cherney, Melanie Soberon, Rick Watters, Kate Schoenberg and Laurie Winkelman, were on-hand to deliver these two sessions. The youth also had the opportunity to compete in the fourth TalkJersey public speaking contest. Fifteen junior members partook in the contest and winners were announced in the August 2009 issue of the Jersey Journal on page 40. At the same time as the TalkJersey participants were presenting to the panel of judges, the reminder of the youth partook in an engaging seminar with a past Jersey youth, Jessica Chittenden. Chittenden serves as the Public Information Officer for the New York Department of Agriculture and Markets. The session covered how the juniors should speak with the public about the dairy industry and how to tell their dairy story to consumers. “The entire week’s experience brought kids from across the nation together who have a common interest in the Jersey cow,” noted Beth Chittenden. “You soon realize how small this country can be and how similar farm kids really are.” “Surveying the enthusiasm and support behind the youth was gratifying to witness,” stated Wolfe. “From the 11 states represented by the youth, the majority of the students came from the local surrounding states.

The Jersey Influence — Tyler Boyd
nlike many Jersey breeders, I can’t recall much about my first Jersey, or the first time I went into the show ring. This may be due to the fact that I was only three weeks and negative 12 weeks old, respectively, at the time. However, I do know that in the 19 years since, Jerseys have steadily grown to a point where I can’t describe my life without including them. Hello, I’m Tyler Lee Boyd, son of David and Deborah Boyd, and grandson of Fred and Juanita Lee and Jane and the late Dibrell Boyd. My family owns and operates Boyd-Lee Jerseys, a 50-cow dairy nestled against the Smoky Mountains in Parrottsville, Tenn. The farm has been in the family since 1846. As a sixth generation Jersey breeder, Jerseys (and a few Holsteins) have always been prominent in my life. When I was little, I played in the freestall barn while my parents milked. From there, I progressed to feeding calves, helping in the hayfield, operating the various types of equipment and, once I was tall enough to reach over the platform without standing on a bucket, helping milk. When I became eligible for 4-H, my farm involvement s u d d e n ly t o o k o n a n ew dimension—showing. I had always participated in various Little Britches shows, but this was a whole new ball game. My parents started transferring a couple of animals in my name to augment my small herd, and off to the fairs I went. That first year was all about learning: ages, calving dates, how to set up a cow and a heifer (they’re different!), and that there were different terms for the same thing. I still remember my confusion when a judge asked when my cow had freshened. Freshened? Later I learned that I did, in fact, know the answer, which to me was the calving date. From that early show string came the background for my current successes. Some of my first victories came on the halter of Boyd-Lee Berretta Donna, who went on to be my first cow to be appraised Excellent-90%. She won Grand Champion at various shows, along with numerous Best Bred and Owned awards. Her greatest achievement, however, has been as the star of a series of advertisements for a grocery chain’s line of milk. Now, at 13, she has a lifetime production of 183,061 lbs. milk, 8,933 lbs. fat, 6,974 lbs. protein, and still acts like she owns the place. Another cow who first came to prominence in my show string was Boyd-Lee Select Heidi. “Heidi,” also a bred-by, was a little short, but that was one of the few criticisms that could be made. On her third appraisal she was raised to Excellent-92%, a score that still remains unbeaten in my own herd. She also went on to be made Grand Champion of every show except two, and was even Supreme Champion at a large regional show. However, like “Donna,” her great accomplishment wasn’t in the ring. Instead, it was in her second daughter, Boyd-Lee Paramount Hannah. “Hannah,” currently on the Top 1½% List, was my first Top 200 cow, and resulted in my first two bull contracts. She scored
Page 26
Excellent-90% on her second lactation, joining her 91-point “Freedom” sister as second-generation Excellents. Hannah is also the dam of my first consignments to national sales, when I consigned two of her “Matinee” embryo transfer daughters to the National Heifer and Pot O’Gold Sales last year. “Habanero-ET,” as a result of genomic testing, became the second high “Matinee” daughter in the August 2009 proofs, and “HollyET” was the third-high seller in the Pot O’Gold Sale. The most recent addition to this great family’s list of achievements is Hannah’s daughter, Boyd-Lee Impuls Honey. “Honey” is currently the #11 JPI cow in the nation, topping her dam’s high position of 50. She is the dam of BoydLee Jacinto Hidalgo at Genex, who currently is the thirdhighest “Jacinto” son based on JPI, and Boyd-Lee TBone Hendrix, the top “TBone” son, contracted to Select Sires. In July, she became my first thirdgeneration Excellent when she was appraised Excellent-90%. From my first animals, I have expanded my herd to 53 Registered Jerseys, with an average JPI of 120 on 27 cows. Of these 53, six are classified Excellent, (47 are bred and owneds), and all of them are home bred. As my herd has grown, so has my involvement in state and national activities. As a 19year member of the Tennessee Junior Jersey Cattle Club, I am currently serving my third consecutive term as state president, and was the 2007 recipient of the Clyde Chappell Award, our highest junior award. In national activities, I have exhibited at The All American Junior Show since 2003. I have also competed in the TalkJersey contest the past two years, and have received the Jack C. Nisbet, Reuben R. Cowles, and Paul Jackson Scholarships. This summer, I was also selected to attend the inaugural Jersey Youth Academy. Not only has my involvement in national activities opened many doors for me, it has also given me the opportunity to make many new friends among the Jersey world and allied industry. Now a junior at Vanderbilt University, majoring in biology, I know just how important a factor Jerseys are, and have been, in my life. After graduation, I plan on continuing my education by enrolling into a master’s program in dairy science, then entering into a line of work which will allow me to continue to work with Jerseys, both on and off the farm. I know that no matter how far I have come, or how far I will go, I owe a great deal of thanks to many people for helping me along the way. My parents and grandparents have always been my greatest source of support, but I also owe my gratitude to those Jersey breeders and owners who have encouraged me, and supported youth activities and the breed in general, over the years. Without them, I would not be where I am today, and, as I look out at the cows in my pastures, I know that without Jerseys, I would not be who I am today. JERSEY JOURNAL
JERSEY YOUTH PROGRAMS
2008 National Jersey Youth Achievement Awards
A
propensity for leadership and a passion for Jerseys have propelled Tyler Lee Boyd, Parrottsville, Tenn., to the top spot of the 2008 National Jersey Youth Achievement Contest. The contest recognizes Jersey youth from across the country for their leadership activities and participation in Jersey functions, as well as their success in breeding and managing their own Jersey cattle. This past March, 16 applications from determined and dedicated youth from across the country arrived in the office of the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA). Ranking second through 10th, respectively, are: Katherine Anne Rector, Hilmar, Calif.; John Hoffner, Mooresville, N.C.; Logan Horst, Chambersburg, Pa.; Ashley Messing, Bad Axe, Mich.; Kyle Schirm, West Salem, Ohio; Amber Ettinger, Kinards, S.C.; Julie Ozburn, Nolensville, Tenn.; Jennifer Hansen, Canby, Ore.; and Lauren Brittany Core, Salvisa, Ky. The Jersey youth programs have been a core part of Jersey youth development since 1958. Nominations for the National Jersey Youth Achievement Contest are made by state Jersey organizations, which can nominate up to two individuals each year. The competition is open to members of the AJCA who are between the ages of 16 and 20 on January 1, 2008, or placed among the top 10 in the previous year’s contest. The AJCA provides cash awards totaling $3,000 to the top 10 individuals. Awards will be presented at the Junior Banquet on November 7, 2009, during All American festivities in Louisville, Ky. Tyler Lee Boyd An extra year of experience has moved Tyler Lee Boyd from second last year to winner of the 2008 National Jersey Youth Achievement Contest. Boyd, the son of David and Deborah Boyd, is a senior at Vanderbilt University. He is majoring in evolution, ecology and organizational biology and plans to graduate with minors in American political science and sociology as well. The sixth-generation Jersey breeder got an early start with the breed as he received his first calf when he was just three weeks old. His herd today includes SEPTEMBER 2009
28 cows and 25 heifers. Boyd has placed heavy emphasis on the production of his herd and increased milk yield by more than 5,000 lbs. over the past 19 years. In 2008, the DHIR actual production average for the herd was 15,529 lbs. milk, 686 lbs. fat and 538 lbs. protein on 17 lactations. Boyd placed first in the four-year-old class of the state production contest in 2007 and in the aged cow class in 2004. He exhibited the highest producing cow at the Tennessee State Junior Jersey Show for five consecutive years from 2001-2005. The 19-yearold has exhibited many Junior A l l - Te n n e s s e e animals in his show career and showed the best bred and owned Boyd aged cow (BoydLee Select Heidi) at The All American Junior Jersey Show in 2004 and the best bred and owned junior yearling heifer (Boyd-Lee Que Heidi-ET) in 2008. His herd today includes five Excellent, 19 Very Good and four Desirable cows. Boyd has played an active role in the operation of his family’s Boyd-Lee Jerseys herd from an early age. For the past four years, he has been responsible for updating test day information for the herd and he assists with appraisals. Boyd makes hay and milks during summer and weekends home and cares for the show string. Of special interest to Boyd is the marketing and genetic improvement of the herd. He has consigned animals to leading Jersey sales, including the National Heifer Sale and the Pot O’Gold Sale, where he consigned the third high seller (Boyd-Lee Matinee Holly-ET) in 2008. Several members of his herd have ranked on the list of the Top 200 Cows for JPI (Jersey Performance Index). He recently negotiated his fourth bull contract and has sent bulls to Genex/CRI and Select Sires. Boyd has been vocal about his passion for agriculture for many years. He placed second in Division IV of JerseyTalk in 2008 and topped the division this summer. He was a national finalist in an essay contest sponsored by USDA in 2003
and earned trips to the National Dairy Conference in 2005 and the National 4-H Congress in 2006 for winning the dairy demonstration projects at the state level. Boyd’s essays have been featured in the Tennessee Farm Bureau News and the Tennessee Cooperator magazines for placing first in contests sponsored by the Tennessee Farm Bureau and the Tennessee Department of Agriculture. Boyd is a youth representative on the All American Junior Activities Committee and a member of the Dairy Farmer Spokesperson Network sponsored by the Southeast United Dairy Industry Association. He has served as a district delegate to the Tennessee Young Farmers and Ranchers meeting and been the Tennessee representative to the southeast division meeting of the Dairy Farmers of America Young Cooperators. He is the president of Tennessee Junior Jersey Cattle Club and has also served the organization as vice president and historian. In 2008, Boyd received the Rueben Cowles Youth Award. In 2007, he was presented with the Jack C. Nisbet Scholarship from the national Jersey organization and an arts and sciences scholarship from Vanderbilt. The high school class valedictorian was a National AP Scholar with Honors, a National Merit Commended Scholar and a Niswonger Scholar. He was a national finalist in the scholarship program offered by Coca-Cola and a state finalist for a leadership scholarship offered by the U.S. Senate. Recently, Boyd was named the 2009 recipient of the Paul Jackson Memorial Scholarship. Boyd plans to graduate from Vanderbilt in 2010 and then obtain a master’s degree in dairy genetics. “Genetics has become the groundbreaking field in the dairy industry and I want to be a part of this exciting endeavor,” Boyd commented. “I also plan on continuing the legacy of developing, marketing and milking quality animals in my own herd.” No matter what path his future takes, the Jersey has played a major role in his development and will continue to shape his life. “Be it at school, in the media, or lobbying for a research herd’s survival to (continued to page 29)

a university president, the leadership and presentation skills that I have acquired through my involvement with Jerseys are always going to be a positive tool to use throughout my life.” Katherine Ann Rector Moving up two spots and making her fourth appearance in the youth achievement contest is Katherine Ann Rector of Hilmar, Calif. The daughter of Benny and Janice Rector is a senior at California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo, with a major in dairy science Rector and agriculture business and a minor in agricultural communications. Rector has participated in Jersey youth activities for 12 years and now owns 21 cows, 18 heifers and four bulls. Her cattle are housed at D & E Jerseys in Hilmar, where her father is herd manager. The DHIR actual production average for 2008 was 16,862 lbs. milk, 776 lbs. fat and 620 lbs. protein on 16 cows. Fourteen head are appraised Very Good and four are Desirable. Rector has earned recognition in production competitions and the show ring. She placed fourth in Division II of the 2007 National Jersey Youth Production Contest with Bears Paramount Charro. She showed the Reserve Grand Champion of the California Junior Jersey Show in 2001 and 2002 and was a routine exhibitor at The All American Junior Jersey Show, the Western National Jersey Show, the California State Fair and several county fairs. While she is still involved with the cattle on the home farm, she also plays an active role on the dairy at Cal Poly, where she has worked for the past four years. Rector is an employee manager and the safety coordinator. She handles all Jersey registrations and guides tours of the dairy to elementary school groups, international visitors and local and state groups. She is a member of the Cal Poly Dairy Club and a past member of the university’s dairy judging team. In the summer of 2008, Rector was an intern for Alta Genetics; this past summer she interned with the California Milk Advisory Board. She is a co-advisor for the California SEPTEMBER 2009
Jersey Cattle Association and director of the queen contest. While a junior, she was the organization’s president from 20032008 and its secretary the previous four years. She was presented with the junior organization’s Distinguished Service Award in 2007. The Californian earned the Paul Jackson Memorial Scholarship and scholarships from the Cal Poly Dairy Science Department in 2008 and the California Jersey Cattle Association in 2007. She was the California Jersey Queen and the Western National Jersey Queen in 2005 and named second alternate in the
national queen contest that year. “I am working hard to get through school while holding a secure job to help pay for most of my education,” wrote Rector. “After completing college and receiving my degree, I plan to pursue a career within the dairy industry. I want to be an ambassador focusing on public relations, whether that means being a writer, editor or spokesperson for the industry.” John Hoffner Making his debut in the youth achievement contest and placing third is (continued to page 30)

Youth Achievement Contest (continued from page 29)
John Hoffner, Mooresville, N.C. The son of Lonnie and Julie Hoffner is a senior at North Carolina State University majoring in agriculture education. He plans to return to the family farm after graduation and become the third generation to dairy on Amity Hills Farm. “I started helping my father around our family farm as soon as I was big enough to carry a milk bottle,” Hoffner recalled. “As the years progressed, so did my work. Today, I am comfortable performing virtually any and every job on the farm. I Hoffner am capable of operating our farm and believe that my father is comfortable going on vacation and leaving me to look after the farm.” Though his early chores involved Holsteins, they now cater to Jerseys. The brown breed came to Amity Hills Farm by way of a hired hand in 1995. A year later, when the employee was leaving the dairy, John convinced his father to purchase
Page 30
the three Jersey cows. Additional Jerseys were purchased and the Hoffners became sold on the breed. “My father says, ‘Holsteins make the milk, but Jerseys pay the bills.’ With several years of less-than-sufficient milk prices and exponentially higher input costs, we have seen some very trying times. However, the Jersey cow hasn’t flinched! This breed has kept our farm in business. I currently own all Jersey cows and plan to keep it that way.” Hoffner’s herd includes 11 cows and 11 heifers. Ten of the 11 cows are appraised Very Good and one is Desirable. In 2008, the DHIA actual production average for the herd was 18,142 lbs. milk, 901 lbs. fat and 686 lbs. protein. The 21-year-old is a member of the university’s agriculture education club, dairy science club and Alpha Tau Alpha Honors Fraternity. He also is a member of the NC State Animal Science Club and was named Outstanding New Member in 2007. Hoffner has served the fraternity as secretary and the animal science club as vice president. For 13 years, he was a member of the Rowan County 4-H Club and participated on the county’s dairy quiz bowl and judging teams. He was the high individual for reasons in the state contest in 2004
and his team topped the contest in 2003. He was president and vice president of South Rowan FFA and served the Southwest Region FFA as vice president and treasurer. In 2006, Hoffner was high individual overall in the state dairy judging contest and received the Bruce Miller FFA Scholarship. Hoffner was a teaching assistant in the dairy evaluation class at NC State in the spring of 2007. That year, he also earned the Rueben Cowles Scholarship. The local community has also benefitted from Hoffner’s contributions as well. He was a volunteer at the China Grove Farmers Day and the Children’s Barnyard at Rowan County Fair for many years and has donated and transported gifts to needy families through the Christmas in the Mountains program for the past nine years. Logan Horst The junior ranked 10th in last year’s contest—Logan Horst—has moved up six spots to fourth in this year’s National Jersey Youth Achievement Contest. Horst, the son of Kevin and Linda Horst, Mi-Rose Jerseys, Chambersburg, Pa., is a junior at Pennsylvania State University majoring in agribusiness management. (continued to page 32)
JERSEY JOURNAL
Youth Achievement Contest (continued from page 30)
He was also named as the 2009 recipient of the V. L. Peterson Scholarship. Horst has been involved with Jersey youth projects for 11 years. His herd of Registered Jerseys includes 15 cows and 10 heifers. The DHIR actual production average for 2008 was 17,027 lbs. milk, 786 lbs. fat and 601 lbs. protein on 13 lactations. Horst With the latest herd appraisal, three cows were scored Excellent and five Very Good. Horst has earned a reputation for breeding quality show cattle and taken advantage of show opportunities provided by the Pennsylvania Junior Jersey Cattle Club. He exhibited the 2007 Reserve All American Senior Heifer Calf (Mi-Rose Furor Cheer) and the 2004 All American Summer Yearling Heifer and Junior Champion of The 2004 All American Junior Jersey Show (Mi-Rose Furor Chalice). He has also shown topfive placings at the Pennsylvania All-
Page 32
American open and junior shows for the past three years. A good eye for type has also helped Horst in the judging arena. This past fall, he was a member of the Penn State dairy judging team that placed 10th at the North American International Livestock Exhibition (NAILE). Horst was 13th in oral reasons at the 4-H dairy judging contest at World Dairy Expo and 14th individual overall at the NAILE contest in 2007. A year earlier, he was high individual overall at the national FFA dairy judging contest. Horst is a member of the Penn State Farm Bureau and is webmaster for the Penn State University Grange. He also is a member of the Penn State Dairy Science Club and is serving as the club’s assistant show manager and the Pennsylvania Farm Show judging chair. He hopes to combine his interests in financial planning and dairy into a career that helps producers manage profitable operations, whether that is on the home farm or in another occupation. “Financial efficiency, organization and planning cannot be stressed enough,” Horst commented. “Dairy farming is not a predictable occupation; unplanned expenses on a dairy can halt the expansion or even dry it up and send it out of business.” Horst, who has milked both Holsteins
and Jerseys, believes another way to improve profitability is to milk Jerseys. “Similar to the world advancing technologically by going smaller, dairy farmers should advance and go with the smaller, more efficient, easier handling, lower maintenance Jersey cow.” Ashley Messing Ashley Messing, Bad Axe, Mich., moved up a spot from last year and ranks fifth in this year’s youth achievement contest. The daughter of Gregory and Shelly Messing graduated from Michigan State University (MSU) in 2009 with a degree in animal science and an agribusiness management specialization. She is working for Alta Genetics as the summer intern in the Jersey department and then plans to work as a consultant for a dairy nutrition company. Messing began Messing youth dairy work with Holsteins and became involved with Jerseys five years ago. “Most applicants would say they are (continued to page 34)
JERSEY JOURNAL
Youth Achievement Contest (continued from page 32)
thankful for growing up with the Jersey breed,” Messing noted. “However, I am thankful I did not. I had to discover my passion on my own and convince my parents the little brown cow would be a great addition.” In the years since, she has worked diligently to improve both the quantity and quality of her Registered Jersey herd, which now numbers a dozen cows and seven heifers. In 2008, the DHIA m.e. average for the herd was 17,619 lbs. milk, 971 lbs. fat and 574 lbs. protein—a mark that is 8,000 lbs. over that reported four years earlier. Seven cows are appraised Very Good and two are Desirable. In 2008, Messing earned awards for the Junior All-Michigan Three-Year-Old Cow and the Reserve Junior All-Michigan Senior Yearling. She has garnered her share of awards at other shows over the years and hopes to show competitively on the national level in the future. The MSU alumnus was a member of the dairy judging teams that represented the university at post-secondary and intercollegiate dairy judging contests in 2006 and 2008, respectively. The post-secondary team placed first in the commercial heifer division of the contest and second overall at World Dairy Expo in 2006. Messing also was a member of the university’s Dairy Challenge team which earned a platinum award in 2008. She was a member of the institution’s Student Alumni Association, the National Agri-Marketing Association, the Block
and Bridle Club, the Collegiate Farm Bureau and the Dairy Club, which she served as membership chair, secretary and fundraising chair. Messing was selected as the Michigan Dairy Ambassador in 2007. She earned the Jack C. Nisbet Scholarship in 2008 and the V. L. Peterson Scholarship in 2006. She was the Michigan Jersey Queen in 2007 and named second alternate in national queen contest. Messing plans to pursue a career that allows her to continue her farm duties and accomplish the goal of owning the family farm in the future. Kyle Matthew Schirm Kyle Matthew Schirm is making his debut among the top placings in the youth achievement contest ranked sixth. He is the son of Paul and Dawn Schirm, West Salem, Ohio, and a freshman at Ashland University. Schirm also is the recipient of the 2009 William A. Russell Memorial Scholarship. Schirm has been involved with Registered Jerseys on his family farm his entire life. His herd today Schirm numbers 26 cows and 15 heifers. The DHI actual production average for 2008 was 16,988 lbs. milk, 812 lbs. fat and 617 lbs. protein on 15 lactations.
“One of the highlights of my year is attending the Pot O’Gold Sale,” Schirm commented. “For the majority of the last 10 years, I have had the opportunity to purchase heifers from this sale. Even though I have sought the advice of others, I have made the final decision for the last four years which heifer to purchase based on my own knowledge of pedigrees.” In this year’s 2009 Pot O’Gold Production Contest, Schirm placed seventh with his entry, Celestial Lieutenant Freckle-ET, purchased from Scott and Kristin Carson, New Lebanon, N.Y., in the 2006 Pot O’Gold Sale. Schirm placed ninth in the contest last year and 10th in the 2006 contest. Schirm placed seventh in Division II of the National Jersey Youth Production Contest in 2007 and 2008 with his homebred entries, Schirm Barkly Janet and Schirm Barkly Largo, respectively. Though test day is an important day to Schirm, so is appraisal day, with the junior often taking a vacation day from school to assist with the event. His herd today includes four Excellent, 20 Very Good and one Desirable cow. Some of these individuals have performed well in the show ring. In 2007, Schirm showed the best bred and owned aged cow (Schirm Hallmark Utah Unreal) at The All American Jersey Show. In 2005, he exhibited the fifth place intermediate yearling heifer (Schirm Premonition Storm). Schirm is a 10-year member of the Ohio Junior Jersey Breeders Association and has served the organization as vice president and treasurer. He was a member of the 4-H dairy judging team that placed 10th at the Pennsylvania All-American and 11th at World Dairy Expo in 2008. Schirm was a member of the high team and second high individual overall at the FFA dairy judging contest held at the Big E in 2006. While attending Northwestern High School, Schirm as a member of the academic challenge team and lettered in varsity track and cross country. Long term, Schirm plans to be a dairy sire analyst and then return to home. Amber Ettinger The youngest member of the top 10 placings in the youth achievement contest, Amber Ettinger, is making her debut ranked seventh. The daughter of Edwin and Cheryl Ettinger, Will Do Jerseys, Kinards, S.C., is enrolled as a freshman at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, with a major in dairy science. Ettinger is also the recipient of the 2009 Reuben Cowles Youth Award. (continued to page 37)

She was named South Carolina Ambassador of the Year and South Carolina Jersey Queen in 2008. “It is always fun to see the look on the face of people when I say that I am a ‘cow queen,’” Ettinger noted. “That gives me the opening to promote agriculture, dairy products and the Jersey cow.” “Upon completing my undergraduate work at Virginia Tech, I would like to SEPTEMBER 2009
be accepted into a veterinarian program where I can concentrate on large animals. After completing that stage of my education, I would like to come back to Will Do Jerseys and take over so my parents can retire.” Julie Ann Ozburn Another junior making her first appearance in the top placings of the youth achievement contest is eighthranked Julie Ann Ozburn, daughter of Jim and Jo Ann Ozburn, Nolensville, Tenn. She is a sophomore at the University of Tennessee at Martin majoring in agriculture business/accounting. The third-generation Jersey breeder has been involved with Jersey youth programs for a decade and now owns 22 cows and three heifers. Three are appraised Excellent, six are Very Good and two are Desirable. In 2008, the DHIA m.e. average for Ozburn’s herd was 16,157 lbs. milk, 763 lbs. fat and 571 lbs. protein on 14 lactations.

Youth Achievement Contest (continued from page 37)
National 4-H Congress in 2007 for placing first in the senior division of the state contest for 4-H dairy project portfolios. Ozburn plans to work for Farm Credit Services as a loan officer and financial planner. “I believe my involvement with Jerseys has given me a practicable background to work with farms and help them be profitable,” she wrote. Ozburn also plans to continue her involvement with the family farm, hosting tours and serving as an advocate for agriculture. “A better relationship between farmers and the public greatly affects the success of agriculture. With greater public confidence, the farmer could move toward a brighter future and farm prosperity.” Jennifer Hansen Jennifer Hansen, daughter of Lloyd and Cindy Hansen, Canby, Ore., ranks ninth in the youth achievement contest. Hansen is a senior at Corban College and majoring in sports and fitness management. Hansen grew up on her family’s Cascadia Farm in northwest Oregon. Her Registered Jersey herd numbers four cows and six heifers and had a 2008 DHIR actual production average of 18,087 lbs. milk,
Page 38
847 lbs. fat and 642 lbs. protein on five records. With the last appraisal, Hansen’s herd includes one Excellent, four Very Good and one Desirable cow. Her 16 years with Jersey youth projects has yielded several honors for production and show. She has placed among the top five in the Oregon Jersey Hansen Youth Production Contest each of the past four years, garnering the top spot in 2007. Hansen placed eighth in Division II of the 2007 National Jersey Youth Production Contest with Cascadia Extreme Right. She earned a fourth in this year’s Pot O’Gold Production Contest and sixth in Division I of the production contest with Bill Cream of Fallen Oak-Twin, a heifer she purchased from Fallen Oaks Jerseys, Molalla, Ore.

she’s had three bulls and no heifers,” Dylan reported. “Hopefully, my luck will change and I’ll get something from her soon.” A new face to the rankings of the production contest, Stephanie Sukalski, Le Roy, Minn., placed second in Division I with her entry, Prairie Harbour Max Lady. “Lady” produced an actual record of 23,850 lbs. milk, 1,168 lbs. fat and 824 lbs. protein, with an m.e. of 27,792–1,352–966 and a dollar value of $4,356.37. She is sired by Wilsonview Avery Max-ET, JPI Page 42
+99, and appraised Very Good-88% as a two-year-old. “Lady” was one of three Jerseys that joined the Reiland Farms LLP herd, a prominent Holstein herd of 360 milking cows, when purchased as 4-H projects for the Sukalski children in June of 2006. “My brothers and I wanted something that we could distinguish from the rest of the herd,” noted Stephanie, a seventh grader at Le Roy Ostrander Middle School who owns seven head in partnership with her brothers, Joseph and Kenric. “We initially planned to buy just two
heifers from the Klaustermeiers,” noted Stephanie’s mother, Chris. “But when I saw ‘Lady’ in another pen of calves, she caught my eye and I told them we’d take her too.” The best of the bunch, “Lady” topped her class as a winter calf at the Mower County Fair in Minnesota in 2006 and freshened with her second calf, a heifer sired by SC Gold Dust Paramount IatolaET, JPI +143, in July 2009. Third place in Division I went to Daniel R. Greathouse, Sandy Lake, one of three juniors from Pennsylvania to place in the 2008 National Jersey Youth Production JERSEY JOURNAL
Contest. His entry, Hackline Bambro Spark 520, is his first 4-H animal and first entry in the youth production contest. When asked why Daniel selected “Spark” from the calf pens, his father, David reported, “He liked the white spot on her forehead.” Whatever his secret, Daniel knows how to pick a winner. In her first lactation, “Spark” produced 21,930 lbs. milk, 1,027 lbs. fat and 793 lbs. protein, with an m.e. of 27,476–1,287–997 and a dollar value of $4,308.42. She is sired by ISDK Bambro BH, JPI +73, and appraised Very Good-87%. “She is from a high producing cow family and is the kind of trouble-free cow everyone wants,” David continued. The home-schooled sixth-grader’s Registered Jersey herd numbers two: “Spark” and her July 2008 daughter sired by SHF Centurion Sultan, JPI +106. Two brothers from the Buckeye State took the fourth and fifth spots in Division I of the production contest. William D. “Billy” Grammer, Sebring, earns fourth with Grammer Illusion Zena. In her first lactation, she made 18,940 lbs. milk, 940 lbs. fat and 671 lbs. protein (3x milking), with an m.e. of 21,737–1,304–809 and a dollar value of $3,881.34. The Very Good87% daughter of Sunset Canyon Anth Illusion-ET, JPI +34, bettered this with second-lactation credits of 21,790 lbs. milk, 1,328 lbs. fat and 816 lbs. protein in 296 days (3x milking). Benjamin P. Grammer placed fifth with Hilmar Futurity 13879. She produced an actual record of 18,760 lbs. milk, 926 lbs. fat, 692 lbs. protein, with an m.e. of 22,001–1,187–852 and a dollar value of $3,793.92. The daughter of Sunset Canyon Futurity-ET, JPI +135, was purchased from the Pot O’Gold Sale in 2006 and placed third in this year’s production contest. Both Billy, 17, and Ben, 13, are involved with the operation of the family dairy farm and members of the Mahoning County Dairy Quiz Bowl team. Billy is vice president of his local FFA chapter.

Sterling purchased “Marcia” as a threeyear-old from Mike Heath, Wayne and Allen Stiles and Billy Heath, Westminster, Md., in March 2006. His parents, Jake and Kate, had done well with other members of the cow family and thought “Marcia” would give him a good start on his own herd of Registered Jerseys. Her three closest dams are Excellent, including her third Page 44
dam, 1993 National Grand Champion, Pensmith TJ Mindy. “‘Marcia’ has turned out to be a very low maintenance, easy-going brood cow,” reported Sterling. Though she made just 11,000 lbs. milk in her first lactation, she has came into her own at Ardent Farm. She freshened in late February with her fourth calf and has testday milk weights of 82, 94, 99, 99 and 93 lbs. and is projected to 23,640 lbs. milk, 1,249 lbs. fat and 846 lbs. protein at 6-8. She is due to Tower Vue Talladega-ET, PA JPI +46, next March. Sterling’s herd numbers 20 head, in-

The Excellent-90% daughter of Sunset Canyon Mecca-ET, JPI +129, has placed twice in the contest before: fifth in Division I in 2005 and first in Division II in 2007. She is the reigning National Class Leader for milk production among junior threeyear-olds and fat production among junior four-year-olds. “Starlit’s” junior four-yearold record also ranks as the seventh high fat record of all times. Her son, Nic-Nat Finalist Startrek-ET, is at Select Sires. Though Kessenich reported that she got a “rough start” on her current lactation which began in August 2008, she managed to crank out another terrific record of 30,030 lbs. milk, 1,358 lbs. fat and 1,102 lbs. protein (3x milking) in 305 days. She has been flushed three times to Richies Jace TBone A364, JPI +232, with 11 pregnancies due beginning in mid-February. “Starlit” is a product of the Pot O’Gold program as Kessenich purchased her from Matthew D. Hansen of West Valley, N.Y. in 2003. She placed fourth in the ensuing Pot O’Gold Production Contest. Kessenich is farming full time at the family dairy and continues to serve as vice president of the Wisconsin Junior Jersey Breeders Association. Her herd now numbers 24 cows and 18 heifers. Another pair of juniors made repeat performances ranked third and fourth in Division II of this year’s production contest with their homebred entries. Amy Maxwell, Donahue, Iowa, placed third with her entry, Cinnamon Ridge Artis Praise, who produced an actual 2-10 record of 21,870 lbs. milk, 1,045 lbs. fat and 811 lbs. protein. The m.e. stands at 27,116–1,238–970 and the dollar value is $4,182.36. She is appraised Very Good-87% and sired by ISDK JAS Artist, JPI +224. With the August 2009 genetic evaluations, “Praise” is the breed’s #30 cow for JPI with a JPI of +271. “Praise” placed third in Division I of last year’s production contest. She freshened in September 2008 with her third calf and recently completed a 305-day record of 25,970 lbs. milk, 1,163 lbs. fat and 927 lbs. protein. She is due in November to Aspen Grove Paramount Duke-ET, JPI +175, with a contract to ABS Global for a son. Another son, Cinnamon Ridge Jacinto Exult, is in the young sire program at Genex/CRI. Amy is a junior at Iowa State University majoring in agriculture business and economics. She is active in the university’s dairy club and recently volunteered to run the “I Milked a Cow” exhibit at the Iowa State Fair. Amy was a member of the inaugural class at Jersey Youth Academy (continued to page 48)

and would like someday to milk cows on the family farm in eastern Iowa. “Praise” is another product of the Pot O’Gold program as Amy purchased her dam from Woodstock Dairy, Beaver, Ore., in 2002. She is one of several purchases Amy and her sister, Kara, have made during their junior careers. Kara placed ninth in the older division of this year’s youth production contest with Paramount Sue, a heifer she purchased from Cedarcrest Farms, Faunsdale, Ala., in the 2003 Pot O’Gold Sale. After placing seventh in Division II of last year’s production contest, Dutch Hollow Paramount Emlee-ET moved up three spots to fourth place in the same division for her owner, Emily Jane Chittenden, Schodack Landing, N.Y. In her third lactation, “Emlee” produced an actual record of 29,850 lbs. milk, 1,419 lbs. fat and 1,119 lbs. protein (3x milking) with an m.e. of 24,904–1,233–974 and a dollar value of $3,784.35. The Excellent-90% “Emlee” is sired by Rock Ella Paramount-ET, JPI +154. She made her debut in Division I of the 2005 youth production contest ranked second. Emily’s brother, Maxwell S. Chittenden, is making his first appearance in the youth production contest with his entry, Dutch Hollow Legion Olivia, ranked fifth in Division II. “Olivia” produced an actual record of 19,950 lbs. milk, 1,167 lbs. fat and 838 lbs. protein (3x milking) in her second lactation. The m.e. on the record stands at 20,473–1,217–863 and has a dollar value of $3,835.92. “Olivia” is appraised Excellent-90% and is sired by BW Legion, JPI +141.

Mocksville, N.C.; Tyler C. Kirchdoerfer, Cape Girardeau, Mo.; and Lars William Russell, Hilmar, Calif. Pot O’Gold Production Contest Since its inception in 1958, the Pot O’Gold Sale has offered youth between the ages of seven and 20 the opportunity to purchase genetically-superior heifers from top herds across the country. A percentage of the sale gross (varying from 7-25% over the years) is set aside in a fund and held for three years to provide cash awards for the juniors whose heifers complete the highest records for dollar value. In 2006, the Pot O’Gold program offered 25 heifers to juniors in two sales: one in Tillamook, Ore., in July, and the other in Louisville, Ky., in November. From the sale of those heifers, $12,121 was set aside in the fund to pay out this year. It will be distributed as follows: first prize, 18%; second, 11.5%; third, 8%; fourth, 6.5%; fifth, 6%; sixth, 5.5%; seventh, 5%; eighth, 4.5%; ninth and 10th, 4%; 11th-13th, 3%; 14th-16th, 2.5% each; 17th-19th, 2.0%; and 20th-21st, 1.5%. To qualify for competition in the Pot O’Gold Production Contest, heifers must calve before they reach 30 months-of-age, be tested in a DHI herd owned by the purchaser or his or her parents, and have a Data Collection Rating (DCR) of 90 or higher. Loss, death or transfer of ownership of any purchase before the record is complete eliminates the heifer from competition. This year, 21 entries met the qualifications to compete in the 2009 edition of the contest. The average m.e. production on these entries is 20,943–980–760 and the average dollar value is $3,286.79. Like the National Youth Production Contest, rankings are based on dollar value. As mentioned previously, the winner of the 2009 Pot O’Gold Production Contest is Dylan Ellenburg. He will be presented
with a check in the amount of $2,215.01 for his entry, MVF Kulp Brazo Shannon. She was consigned to the Pot O’Gold Sale by Kulp Genetics and Craig Rhein. Caitlin Avila, Dalhart, Texas, made her second appearance in the Pot O’Gold Production Contest ranked second with her entry, EF Abe Guacamole. Calving at 21 months-of-age, “Guacamole” made 18,020 lbs. milk, 831 lbs. fat and 670 lbs. protein. The m.e. on the record is 25,375–1,079–931 and the dollar value is $3,839.95. The seventh-grader’s grandparents, Donnie and Elsa Sherman, Hilmar, Calif., helped her pick “Guacamole,” one of two daughters of Ahlem Lemvig Abe-ET, JPI +243, offered that day. “She was a nice-looking, straighttopped heifer with one of the higher net merit dollars of the group,” said Donnie. “Guacamole” turned out to be a nice looking cow too as she recently appraised Excellent-90% as a three-year-old. She completed a second lactation over 18,000 lbs. milk and is ranked #72 for JPI with an index of +254 (August 2009). When she isn’t tending to her herd of a dozen Registered Jerseys, Caitlin enjoys playing softball and golf and will help to establish a dairy club in the Dalhart area in the coming year. She will receive a check in the amount of $1,415.14. “Guacamole” was consigned by Gordon H. Schofield, Hinsdale, N.H. Benjamin P. Grammer placed third in the 2009 Pot O’Gold Production Contest with his entry, Hilmar Futurity 13879, as mentioned earlier. When he brought her home, Ben christened her with a new name, as he said a tattoo number just wouldn’t suffice. He affectionately calls her “Circus” after his favorite cow, two-time National Grand Champion (2003 and 2006), Pleasant Nook F Prize Circus. “Circus” has done well for her junior owner. She calved in August 2008 with her second calf, a heifer by Mason Lemvig Jacinto-ET, JPI +143, and made 20,070 lbs. milk, 935 lbs. fat and 746 lbs. protein (3x milking) in 280 days. The pair are two of six head of Registered Jerseys owned by the eighth grader. Ben will receive a check in the amount of $984.45. Hilmar Futurity 13879 was consigned by Charles Ahlem, Hilmar, Calif. Oregon junior, Jennifer D. Hansen, Canby, ranked fourth in the Pot O’Gold contest with her animal, Bill Cream of Fallen Oak-Twin, purchased from fellow Oregon Jersey breeders, Fallen Oak Jerseys of Molalla.

JERSEY YOUTH PROGRAMS
Eight Students to Receive $13,500 in Scholarships
E
ight Jersey youth continuing their educations in animal and dairy sciences, veterinary medicine, agribusiness, and evolution, ecology, and organizational biology will receive scholarships totaling $13,500—the largest amount ever awarded by the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA). Youth will receive their awards on November 7, 2009, at the Junior Banquet, which concludes the events of Junior Day at The All American Jersey Show in Louisville, Ky. The eight recipients are pursuing higher education at universities and colleges in eight states—California, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin. This year, 22 students applied for scholarships from the AJCA. Youth can apply for as many scholarships as they are eligible to compete for. Support for the AJCA scholarship program comes from eight different funds, managed in perpetuity by the AJCA. In order to make available larger scholarship amounts, Jersey breeders can contribute to the funds at any time by contacting the AJCA at 614/861-3636, ext. 334. Russell Memorial Scholarships Two s c h o l a r s h i p s a r e g ive n t o commemorate the late William A. Russell’s lifetime of experience and service to the Jersey breed. The first scholarship, the William A. Russell Memorial Scholarship, was established in his name in 1977 and is designated for students who have completed high school and are beginning their university studies. The second scholarship was established in 2005 and is for advanced students seeking degrees in dairy science, animal science, large animal veterinary practice, dairy production or manufacturing, or dairy product marketing. In November 2006, the scholarship was renamed the Russell-Malnati Scholarship for Advanced Studies, to honor another long-time supporter of the national Jersey scholarship programs—J. J. “Doc” Malnati of Bush River Jerseys, Newberry, S.C. In only its fifth year of establishment, the scholarship has the distinction of being the largest scholarship offered by the AJCA. SEPTEMBER 2009
Russell-Malnati Scholarship for Advanced Studies Robert Joseph Trimble, Robinson, Ill., is the recipient of the $5,000 scholarship for advanced studies. Trimble is a first-year student at the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine. In May, he completed his bachelor’s degree in animal science with a concentration in pre-veterinarian medicine and a minor in chemistry. Trimble is the son of Joe and Norma Trimble, who operate Trimble Farms, an 80-head Jersey herd and 125-head Katahdin sheep Trimble flock in southeastern Illinois. Throughout his childhood, he was active in 4-H, served as a junior 4-H leader, and vice president of his local club. He credits his 10 years of 4-H membership to the skills he developed of evaluating cattle to make breeding decision and the knowledge of health and management practices for operating a dairy. As a four year member of the University of Illinois Dairy Club, he obtained handson experience working at the university’s dairy research facilities, where he assisted with the daily farm chores and worked with the cattle for research studies and experiments. During high school, Trimble took on the challenge to learn Spanish, which inspired his interest to become bilingual. During his freshman year of college he traveled to Mexico to further develop his language skills and become familiar with the culture. While in Guadalajara, Mexico, he served as a teaching assistant for the local grade school and attended Spanish classes. Trimble wrote, “The combination of class work, as well as real life experiences helped me to further solidify my potential to effectively communicate with a wider range of people. I am confident that this skill will be crucial to communicating with others throughout the dairy industry.” Trimble was a member of the Fighting Illini Triathlon Club and has served as a leader of the club. During his time with the club the membership quadrupled and
the team became an officially-recognized sports team. In the Collegiate Nationals Triathlon Championships last spring, his team placed 13th in the nation. The past two summers, Trimble has worked on a Alaskan glacier as a tour guide for dog mushing expeditions. In this capacity, he was responsible for caring for a team of dogs and would like to continue this experience in future years by serving as a volunteer veterinarian on the Iditarod race trail. “Upon graduation from veterinary school, I look forward to bringing the latest technology and medical information to help improve a veterinary clinic,” stated Trimble. William A. Russell Memorial Scholarship Kyle Matthew Schirm, West Salem, Ohio, has been named the winner of the $1,000 scholarship. He is the son of Paul and Dawn Schirm, Schirm Jersey Farm, and a freshman at Ashland University. Schirm plans to major in business management with a minor in marketing. Schir m is the owner of 45 Registered Jerseys and active in the Ohio Junior Jersey Breeders Association, in which he has served as an officer and sat on the board of directors. He won the organization’s JerSchirm sey Youth Achievement contest this past year, and has been named the state’s Young Jersey Promoter and Outstanding Jersey Boy in previous years. Schirm placed sixth in the 2008 National Youth Achievement Contest. Active in 4-H and FFA, Schirm has exhibited his cattle at county, state and national shows. Along with his 4-H projects, he was active through leadership roles while serving as president of his local club, a member of the junior fair board, Dean of Boys at 4-H camp, and superintendent of the dairy committee at the local fair. Through FFA, Schirm won the Ohio FFA Dairy Proficiency Award and was recognized this year with the Ohio FFA (continued to page 54)

WORLD DAIRY EXPO
Lantzkys Named Progressive Producers
B
rian and Heidi Lantzky, Hawkeye, Iowa, have been named the 2009 National Dairy Shrine (NDS) Progressive Dairy Producers for herds under 300 cows. They will be honored during the National Dairy Shrine Annual Award Banquet on October 1, 2009, at the World Dairy Expo. This young couple has demonstrated that even when there isn’t a home farm to go back to, with a plan and a lot of determination one can begin a dairy and succeed. Brian grew up on a swine operation and milked Holsteins for neighbors, and Heidi grew up on a grade Holstein dairy and always knew she wanted to be a dairy producer. Both graduated from the Northeast Iowa Community College with degrees in dairy herd management and began working as herdspeople before striking out on their own. They worked together for two years at various dairies and gained practical management experience before they began to dairy on their own. Growing up working with Holsteins, the couple had believed that would be the logical choice for the breed they would milk. But, as they started building their business plan they began to see that the choice of cow might not be as clear cut as they originally thought. Research and profit studies had shown them that Jerseys were the most profitable breed and they began to ask, “Why isn’t everyone milking Jerseys?” They focused on the cows as their major investment, as they were what would turn the profit. In 1998, Hei-Bri Jerseys was formed and the Lantzkys began milking 75 Registered Jersey cows on a rented dairy. In 2004, they purchased their own farm in Hawkeye, built a 140-cow compost bedded barn and remodeled a farrowing barn into a double-12 parlor and a holding pen. Today, the milking herd has nearly doubled from internal herd growth and a few purchases to 145 milking Registered Jerseys and 130 replacements. Their story captured the attention of Hoard’s Dairyman and the couple participated in the December 2005 Round Table entitled “They Started Dairying Page 72
From Scratch.” Before setting up their dairy in 1998, the couple spent two years planning and talking to consultants in nutrition and milk marketing. Taking what they had learned the Lantzkys developed a
Heidi and Brian Lantzky
business plan to present to a lender. They knew they had to be able to do the labor theirselves to help create a positive cash flow. That lead them to use the practice of rotational grazing to save on feed, fuel and maximize herd health benefits. Their studies paid off as Farm Service Agency gave them the loans they needed. After three years, they were able to receive conventional lending from a bank. In 2004, when they moved to the new facility, they knew that space would be an issue. The farm was situated on only 40 acres of land. The couple was able to rent an additional 300 acres and continue to rotationally graze the herd on 120 acres of mixed clover, rye and orchard grass. The couple has taken a non-traditional approach to grazing by allowing the cows to “sample” the grass and balance the ration with a TMR. They have been recognized with top conservation level (tier three) in the Conservation Security Program in their area. The Lantzkys keep their goal in sight: maximize production at the greatest profit and continue to increase genetic value with every new generation and continue to carry a reputation for well grown heifers. In 2008, the herd had an AJCA lactation
average of 18,800 lbs. milk, 865 lbs. fat, and 674 lbs. protein on 104 cows. Heidi and Brian forward contract their milk sales with Swiss Valley Farms, allowing them to frequently lock in their milk at higher prices. They strive to calve their heifers at the young age of one year and nine months old (21 months) allowing them to take advantage of the Jersey’s reproductive efficiency and longer productive life. To improve genetics more quickly, the Lantzkys have taken an aggressive approach to embryo transfer. They flush the top end of the herd frequently and use the lower end of the herd as recipients. The couple purchases high quality embryos from outside to keep the genetics diversified. A strong emphasis is put on reproduction. In 2007, the herd had a 32% pregnancy rate. The herd is bred to 100% A.I. sires and they have placed three bulls into A.I. sampling programs out of one of their favorite cows, Hei-Bri Paramount Emory. The couple was honored in 2003 with the Young Jersey Breeder award from the American Jersey Cattle Association. The herd is enrolled on the association’s REAP program to utilize animal ID, performance evaluations, along with Jersey-specific milk marketing. They were honored by Swiss Valley Farms in 2002 as Young Cooperators and have been involved on the planning committee for the leadership conferences. They have traveled to Washington D.C. to meet both their Congressional representatives and Iowa state representatives to discuss dairy issues. By hosting tours at their farm, Heidi and Brian and their two daughters, Brittany, 18, and Dayle, 11, take an active role in educating the public about the dairy industry. They want to connect with the consumer on a personal level and show where their food comes from. As advice to young people starting out in the dairy industry, Brian and Heidi offer this, “Look at everything as a return on an investment and put your money in these areas first. Take good care of your cows and they will take good care of you.” JERSEY JOURNAL

Avilas Named Progressive Producers
ichard and Jennifer Avila, Dalhart, Texas, measure the progress of their 2,100 cow herd by the successful growth of their operation that was achieved without compromising per cow production, reproductive efficiency, or age of first lactation animals entering the milking herd. These benchmarks are just a few that have guided them to the top of the National Dairy Shrine’s Progressive Dairy award for herds milking over 300 cows. Intense attention to those details are perhaps one of the most effective drivers of the Avi-Lanche Jersey expansion in recent years. The couple cofounded their dairy in 1993, housing their animals within Jennifer’s parents’ herd— D&E Jerseys, Hilmar, Calif. Throughout the next 12 years, they were an integral part of the management team at the California dairy working closely with both the employees and cow care at the two facilities in Hilmar. Within their own herd, the couple focused on genetic improvement of their cattle and the steady expansion of herd numbers, principally from internal growth. In 2006, the Avilas made the decision to take their herd and a portion of the D&E Jersey herd and move 1,800 miles to Dalhart, to capitalize on the opening of the new Hilmar Cheese plant. While Jennifer’s parents, Don and Elsa Sherman, continue to dairy in California, Richard and Jennifer are the sole managers of the Avi-Lanche herd. The facilities were constructed in 2006 with a capacity for 2,400 milking animals. They began milking in February 2007 with approximately 600 cows. Today they are milking over 2,100 cows at the facility and plan to reach capacity in the fall of 2009. The herd is milked in a double-30 parallel parlor and are housed in Saudi-type barns with curtains and bedded with sand. Production per cow per day is the number one goal of the Avilas. They aim for 52 lbs. milk per cow per day to allow the least amount of stress for the cow SEPTEMBER 2009
which also results in a healthier, longerlasting herd with greater profit potential. The herd maintains a 1% sick cow rate, which positively impacts profitability by keeping vet costs low. The Avila’s strive for an average age of first calving of 23 months
Richard, Jennifer, Caitlin and Sidney Avila
and a calving interval of 13.3 months. The cull rate for the herd is a low 9%. R e c e n t ly t h e Av i l a s p u r c h a s e d additional irrigated land alongside their property to grow most of their own crops for the dairy, including silage, grain corn, alfalfa hay and grain sorghum. With the acquisition of this land, the family now owns 1,400 acres of irrigated farmland. Carefully maintained cost accounting procedures are in effect at Avi-Lanche Jerseys, where feed costs are computed on a per ton of yield basis. “In my 35 years of agricultural finance experience, the dairy operations owned and managed by two generations of this family are among the most progressive dairies I have ever had the pleasure of working with in the financial part of the business,” said Todd Morgan, Vice President West American Bank in a nomination letter to National Dairy Shrine. “With the mentoring of his father-in-law and on the basis of his own capability and maturity, Richard Avila is a dairy herd owner who operates with excellent business integrity. He is the rare combination of being conservative in his financial approach while being progressive and aggressive
in his overall management approach.” Richard and Jennifer are continuing a multi-generation long-term outlook in the dairy business. They are raising their two daughters, Sidney, 13, and Caitlin, 11, on the farm. Both girls help as needed on the dairy and travel to dairy events around the country. Their values are reflected in their philosophy to dairying as well. They strive to provide the attention to detail in their herd operation that treats every cow like she is part of a 20-cow herd instead of a 2,000 cow herd. They firmly believe this has been a key factor in making the transition from a 600-cow herd in California to a 2,000 cow herd in Texas flow smoothly. T h e P r og r e s s ive D a i r y Producer award is sponsored by NDS and honors dairy producers who have introduced and applied effective management and business practices to achieve a more profitable dairy business. Recipients receive a $2,000 educational travel award to use out-of-state to observe a dairy activity such as a management conference, trade show, seminar or dairy herd visit to gain knowledge or new ideas to implement in their dairy operation. Applications for the 2010 awards are due March 15, 2010.

WORLD DAIRY EXPO
Core Honored as Industry Person of the Year
M
aurice (Maury) E. Core, Columbus, Ohio, has been selected as the 2009 World Dairy Expo Industry Person of the Year. This honor is one of the industry’s most celebrated awards and tributes Core for his lifelong vision and leadership in the dairy industry. “Over the past several decades, there have been a number of dairy industry pillars who have been noteworthy,” noted Steven A. Larson, managing editor of Hoard’s Dairyman. “Maury Core is clearly one of those pillars.” Core has been monumental in the progress and advancement of the Jersey breed and has dedicated his life to the dairy industry in its entirety. Raised on his family’s Jersey dairy in Indianola, Iowa, he took an interest in dairy judging as a youth. In 1945, he was a member of the winning dairy judging team and placed third individual at the National 4-H Dairy Cattle Judging Contest. Core attended Simpson College, Indianola, Iowa, for one year and then transferred to Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa. He continued dairy judging throughout college and was the third high individual and a member of the winning team at the 1951 National Collegiate Dairy Cattle Judging Contest. He graduated with a bachelor of science degree in agriculture and dairy science. Following graduation, Core attained the position of herdsman for the Jersey and Guernsey herds at Curtiss Candy Company Farms in Cary, Ill. In 1956, Core began his 37 years of service with the AJCC as an area representative in the Midwest, covering the 10 states of Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin. He then served the AJCC in the organizations headquarters in Columbus, Ohio, as a Special Representative, Executive Assistant and Assistant Secretary, and most recently as the Executive Secretary and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the AJCC, National All-Jersey and All Jersey Sales Corporation in 1985. During his tenure, Core fulfilled a wide variety of responsibilities within the AJCC. He operated as representative for the Jersey youth programs, managing editor of the Jersey Journal, and administered The All American Jersey Show and National SEPTEMBER 2009
Jersey Jug Futurity. Additionally, he led the performance, registration, information and Jersey Marketing Service (JMS) departments. Serving as the first manager for JMS he coordinated the first National Heifer Sale and All American Jersey Sale in 1971 and helped establish the two
Maurice E. Core
national sales into the premier events they are today. Core is also credited for the initiation of the linear type appraisal for the Jersey breed, which began the installment of similar programs for all dairy breeds. Core retired from the AJCC in 1993 after his service of nearly four decades for the association. His years of experience with all facets of the Jersey organization made Core a well-respected and admired peer by Jersey cattle breeders across the country. “One of Maury’s signif icant, but often overlooked accomplishments, is the role he played in moving the Jersey breed from being a ‘hobby’ breed to a ‘commercial’ breed,” stated Calvin Covington, Core’s successor at the AJCC and current CEO of Southeast Milk Inc., in a letter of support. “It was a battle for the Jersey breed to make this transition. Without someone of Maury’s personality and background in a senior leadership position at the AJCC this transition might not have occurred or the battle wounds would have been much greater. Today, instead of the Jersey breed being on the endangered species list, the Jersey cow and its organizations set new records for growth every year. Maury
played a major role in this happening.” Following his retirement from the AJCC, Core was named the Executive Director of the National Dairy Shrine (NDS) in 1997. He served the NDS in this capacity until his subsequent retirement in 2008. Throughout his 11 years of leadership with the NDS he led the organization to significant gains in membership, guided a $250,000 fundraising campaign to renovate the Dairy Shrine Museum located in Fort Atkinson, Wis., and raised funds for youth scholarships. An advocate for dairy research and youth programs, Core has been a strong supporter through the Jersey organization, universities and NDS. Under his direction during 1986 and 1993 the AJCC Research Foundation raised $750,000. Core has also been a dedicated proponent of research at Iowa State University and The Ohio State University as well as other institutions across the country. He has assisted in raising significant funds for Jersey youth scholarships and upon his retirement from the AJCA the Maurice E. Core Youth Fund was established by the organization to honor his commitment. His support of youth programs continued as he took the reigns of the NDS and doubled the funds available for youth awards and scholarships. Outside of his leadership for these two organizations, Core served the dairy industry through additional outlets. He is a 53-year member of the AJCA and NDS, along with American Dairy Science Association, Iowa 4-H 400 Program, Alpha Gamma Rho Fraternity and Alpha Zeta (Honorary Agricultural Fraternity). He was a member of the advisory committee for the North American Dairy Show held in Columbus, Ohio, from 1962 to 1977, and as the show relocated to Louisville, Ky., in 1977, he served on the dairy advisory committee of the North American International Livestock Show until his retirement from the AJCC in 1993. Core served as a director of the Purebred Dairy Cattle Association (PDCA) and served as a representative for the PDCA to the Council on Dairy Cattle Breeding. For five years, he served as chair of the linear type committee for the Council on Dairy Cattle Breeding. Additionally, he served (continued to page 76)

The following year, he was recognized as Iowa State University Dairy Science Club Distinguished Graduate. Core declared in 1993 upon his retirement from the AJCC, “I have been Page 76

Elsie Visits The 2009 Ohio State Fair
Elsie—a fixture of Americana through parts of two centuries, 13 U.S. presidents, World War II, the birth of rock and roll, men landing on the moon, and the creation of the World Wide Web—was the star of the show when she made a special appearance August 6 through 9 at the Ohio State Fair in Columbus. Since 1939, and the first Elsie—You’ll Do Lobelia—there have been at least 32 live Elsies and more of them have come from Ohio than any other state. The Knoop family from Sidney, Ohio, have bred five of the Elsies. After three days of meeting adoring fans and mooing through television interviews, Elsie made her grand entrance on the arm of 89-year-old Kenneth Knoop to start the 50th anniversary Ohio Jersey Futurity. Elsie’s appearance was co-sponsored by American Dairy Association Mideast and the Ohio Jersey Breeders Association. An Advertising Icon Elsie was voted as one of Advertising Age’s 10 Advertising Icons of the 20th Century because of her effectiveness in promoting her brand, her longevity, her instant recognizability, and her cultural impact. Elsie first appeared in 1936 as one of four cows—the others were Mrs. Blossom, Bessie and Clara—in medical journal ads promoting the healthfulness of Borden milk. She captured the American public’s attention later that year when the famous radio announcer, Rush Hughes, read a letter from one of those ads on his show: “Dear Mama,” it began. “I’m so excited I can hardly chew! We girls are sending our milk to Borden’s now. Love, Elsie.” A star was born! An artist’s portrait of the friendly-faced bovine with dewy eyes and long eyelashes and wearing a necklace of fresh daisies appeared in magazine ads and on billboards. Borden’s was flooded with fan mail for Elsie! Those fans came looking for her at the World’s Fair of 1939 in New York City when they visited Borden’s “The Dairy World of Tomorrow” with the newly invented rotary milking parlor—called the Rotolactor—and a herd of 150 pedigreed dairy cows of all breeds. “What is Elsie?” The answer was a Jersey—You’ll Do Lobelia from Elm Hill Farm in Brookfield, Mass. “We chose her because she always had her ears up,” said Jim Cavanaugh, past Executive Secretary of The American Jersey Cattle Club. Cavanaugh was one Page 88
Kenneth Knoop from Sidney, Ohio, had the honor of escorting Elsie at the 50th Ohio Jersey Futurity in early August. Knoop and his daughter, Donna Griewe, have the distinction of breeding five Elsies since her beginnings in 1936.
of the Borden Boys, a group of 60 young agriculture and dairy college students who cared for the cattle and demonstrated the milking parlor to the public. A beautiful green blanket was made with “Elsie” embroidered in gold. A bow was added to her tail, and a wreath of black-eyed susans was placed around her neck, and presto! Elsie the Cow came into being. She was put on the Rotolactor between milkings, and people lined up to see her! By the time the World’s Fair closed, Elsie was the #1 attraction. Everyone agreed. “Elsie has become the glamour cow of all cattle history and the symbol of the dairy industry, its symbol of health and nutrition and wholesomeness.” From Sensation to Stardom In 1940, Elsie accepted a role in the motion picture, “Little Men” and received rave reviews! She married her love, Elmer, and they started a family. On August 4, 1942, Elsie was escorted by New York City mounted police as she took her son “Victory” to be registered in person at The American Jersey Cattle Club office on 23rd Street in downtown New York City. Then they toured the country, promoting the sale of U.S. War Bonds and raising more than $10 million for the war effort. In 1947, Elsie gave birth to a son while at Macy’s department store in New York City. A million people entered Borden’s contest to name him—more than had ever entered such a contest. “Beauregard” was the winning name, and he often kept Elsie company as she traveled the country in her custom-built “Cowdillac.”
Elsie became so famous that marketing surveys in the 1940s found that 98% of the American public recognized Elsie. One study showed that more people recognized Elsie than President Harry Truman! Elsie has been presented with the keys to more than 200 cities. She has made special appearances on the What’s My Line? and Mike Douglas television shows, at the Kentucky Derby, the Indianapolis 500, the Rose Bowl Parade and at Walt Disney World in Florida. In fact, Elsie is the only non-Disney character ever to appear with Mickey Mouse! Promoting the Goodness of Dairy Elsie and the Borden brand are now licensed by Dairy Farmers of America, which last year started the “Friends of Elsie” campaign to highlight the special relationship between dairy farmers and American consumers. Elsie continues her moooving schedule of public appearances. She criss-crosses the United States to meet her admirers at stores, fairs and convention centers; and also schools, hospitals and senior citizen homes. Before coming to Columbus, she hosted Reading is Fundamental’s Read-ALong at the Children’s Museum of Houston. In addition to demonstrating the importance of reading, Elsie brought milk for the kids to remind them to get their daily dose of vitamins and to fuel up to be smart. She even has her own website: elsie. com. More than ever, Elsie is a symbol of the best the dairy farm and American agriculture has to offer. JERSEY JOURNAL

PDCA Unveils New Dairy Cow Unified Scorecard The Purebred Dairy Cattle Association (PDCA) has just released its newly revised Dairy Cow Unified Scorecard. The scorecard was first established in 1943 and has had four previous revisions, the latest in 1994. This, the sixth edition, will feature many improvements including increased emphasis on traits and characteristics associated with a longer productive life, anatomical functionality, and industry management trends in housing systems and animal welfare. The new scorecard also includes breed characteristics for the most recent breed member, the Red and White. Key changes include balancing the cow’s dairy and strength characteristics, making movement and locomotion a priority in feet and leg evaluation, and reducing the value placed on stature. According to Ted Halbach, chairman of the scorecard revision committee, “There are several significant changes. Dairy character and body capacity are combined to create dairy strength with a 25 percent weighting, rear feet and legs receive more weight, each breakdown has traits listed in priority order with a point value for each trait, and breed exceptions to specific traits are listed under breed characteristics.” The new PDCA Dairy Cow Unified Scorecard can be found under Dairyman Extras at www.hoards.com. It will also be available on the web in electronic format from PDCA and its member breed associations. Questions may be directed to PDCA at pdca@wdexpo.com or by phone at 608-224-0400.

JERSEY JOURNAL
The July and August Jersey Jargon columns were the first two of three to address the terms and conditions documents approved by the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) board of directors for sales of Registered Jersey cattle. In this month’s column, we’ll take a closer look at the balance of items addressed in the documents—catalog information, health certificates, shipping, risk and responsibility. While there are two sets of terms and conditions—one for consignment sales and the other for dispersals—that differ or for items addressed in previous Jersey Jargon columns, those discussed in this month’s Jersey Jargon apply to both documents. Catalog Information When buyers receive a sale catalog, they should expect that all the information and materials in it have been carefully reviewed and edited. Any errors, omissions or information noted after printing of the catalog will be announced from the auction stand and take precedence over printed matter. In any event, neither the sale sponsor nor the sale manager shall be responsible for errors or omissions in the catalog. Health Certificate The AJCA board of directors recommends that the seller provide the buyer with an official health certificate for interstate shipment of each animal. No warranty is made on the health certificate regarding the condition or health of the animal or the result of any future health test. As well, no warranty is made regarding the condition of the animal’s udder following calving. Any information about herd accreditation and certification status and calfhood vaccination status will be printed in the catalog or announced from the auction stand. Health tests and condition for export sales to foreign countries or states with special health requirements are the sole responsibility of the buyer unless otherwise announced from the auction stand or unless otherwise agreed prior to sale between the seller and the potential buyer. Though specific health tests are not addressed in the terms and conditions documents approved by the AJCA board of directors, it is common for sale managers to require that all animals pass a negative test for tuberculosis and be SEPTEMBER 2009
calfhood vaccinated for brucellosis or pass a negative test for the disease. Animals consigned to regional and state sales managed by Jersey Marketing Service (JMS) must also test negative for BVD-PI (bovine viral diarrhea-persistent infection) and lactating animals must be tested for Staph aureus and mycoplasma. Animals consigned to national sales managed by JMS must be tested for bovine leukosis; lactating animals are tested for Johne’s disease as well. Shipping At all sales, assistance will be given in loading and shipping animals after the sale. However, no risk is assumed by anyone associated with the sale when help is given. All costs, risks and responsibilities are born by the buyer and transportation charges on all animals shall be paid by the buyer unless other arrangements are made. Risk All animals are at the buyer’s risk as soon as struck off, but will be cared for at no cost for 24 hours. Buyers must make arrangements for care of their purchased beyond the 24-hour period. Animals are solely at the seller’s risk prior to being struck off, including the time while under the care and supervision of the sponsor or sale manager. Responsibility The seller is solely responsible for all warranties on animals or other property offered for sale (see page 47 of the August Jersey Jargon for details on warranties). The sale manager, auctioneer and
sponsor are acting as agents only and are not responsible for the title, condition, quality, fitness or productiveness of any animals or other items sold. Buyers should examine all animals or items carefully after they are purchased and complaints must be reported to the sale manager before the close of the sale. The sale manager, sponsor, auctioneer and anyone else associated with the sale are not responsible for an accident, injury or property loss to anyone attending the sale. When submitting entries and selling animals or other items, the seller agrees to the terms and conditions published in the catalog and assumes full responsibility of his or her animals. Mortality Insurance Though mortality insurance has not been addressed in the terms and conditions documents, sale managers usually make it available to buyers on sale day. Insurance is provided by the American Livestock Insurance Company and the sale manager is the agent. Coverage terms range from 15 days to one year and protect the buyer from loss by death of the animal as the result of disease or an accident. For more information on the terms and conditions, contact Jersey Marketing Service at 614/861-3636, ext. 325.

JERSEY JOURNAL
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 sustainable food production from Jersey cattle; and • Feasibility of adding value to Jersey-
derived 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 20year total for Jersey-specific research supported by the Foundation exceeds $750,000. Detailed information about the Competitive Grants Program can be found on the web site (http://jerseyresearch. usjersey.com/RFNews_RFP.htm) or requested from Cari W. Wolfe, Director of Research and Genetic Programs Development, at 614/861-3636, ext. 318.
