JERSEY JOURNAL
U.S. Demand for Jersey Semen Up 12% in 2011 The 2011 update of a closely watched leading indicator of Jersey breed growth pointed up, following the same trajectory recorded in 14 of the past 15 years. On February 13, the National Association of Animal Breeders (NAAB) reported that its member companies handled 3,540,849 units of Registered JerseyTM semen in 2011, and that new records for domestic and export sales were established. • Total Jersey semen sales in the U.S. increased by 12.1% to 2,227,101 units. That includes 2,156,285 units produced domestically (up 11.1% from 2010) plus 70,816 units sourced from other countries and sold in the U.S. • 1,139,624 doses were exported, representing a 0.7% gain over the 2010 sales. • Combined, Jersey domestically produced semen sales and export sales totaled 3,295,909 units, 7.3% greater than 2010 sales of 3,072,704 units. • Custom collection of bulls not owned by NAAB members was reported at 174,124 units. Across the industry, domestic semen sales grew 4.1% over 2010 and export sales, 5.9%. The industry totals—22.5 million units domestic and 15.7 million export—established new records. Market shares for Jersey march 2012
were 9.7% domestic (an increase of 0.7% from 2010) and 7.3% export. For the decade 2002 to 2011, combined Jersey semen sales have increased by 1,928,725 units, or 134%. Which raises an interesting question: What could the demand be in 2020 for Jersey semen? To make that forecast, we took 15 years of data on domestic and international sales, calculated rolling 3-year averages across that period, and plotted the trendlines using different models. If demand continues at the same overall rate of the last 15 years, total sales could be 4.25 million units in 2020. But if demand is driven at the accelerated pace of sales over the last five years, the projection is 5.6 million units. This second scenario should be the most likely, particularly as awareness builds throughout our industry about what Jersey cows mean for the sustainability and profitability of dairy farms and milk processing businesses. In short, we like the prospects for the future. In closing, to all the NAAB members that market Registered JerseyTM semen, we say “Thank you” for your collaborative efforts to seek out, test, develop and market superior Jersey bulls both at home and across the world, and especially for your confidence in the Jersey business— yesterday, today and tomorrow.

High Herd Averages Milk For the sixth straight year, Mainstream Jerseys, owned by Randy and Jana Kortus, Lynden, Wash., leads the country for all measures of production with an AJCA lactation average of 30,185 lbs. milk, 1,494 lbs. fat and 1,093 lbs. protein. The average cheese yield for the 31-cow herd is 3,732 lbs. Though the lactation average dropped slightly in 2011, Mainstream Jerseys continues to dominate the production rankings, with averages that surpass their closest peers by more than 5,200 lbs. milk, 180 lbs. fat and 125 lbs. protein. The herd broke into the rankings of the nation’s top 10 production herds in 2002, when it was owned by the couple’s daughter, Melissa, and then became the first to surpass the 30,000 lbs. milk mark in 2007. Mainstream Jerseys set the current breed record for all production categories in 2009, when it had an AJCA lactation average of 32,395 lbs. milk, 1,502 lbs. fat and 1,134 lbs. protein and a cheese yield of 3,869 lbs. During the calendar year 2011, seven members of the Mainstream milking string produced records that rank on the current National Class Leader List. Three others produced records that rank among the top 25 milk, fat, protein and cheese yield records in breed history, including Mainstream Jace Shelly, Excellent-90%, who produced a 365-day record of 44,590 lbs. milk, 2,352 lbs. fat and 1,627 lbs. protein, with a cheese yield of 5,627 lbs. at 5-4. The record ranks fifth for cheese yield, sixth for milk and protein and seventh for fat. Two of “Shelly’s” other lactations are included on the list of the top 25 records in history as well. The names of some of the other stellar performers in the herd are familiar to many Jersey producers, including the top producer, Havs Iatola Topaz, Excellent-90%, owned by 19-year-old Michael Kortus. “Topaz” produced the second high 305-day milk, protein and cheese yield records in the country in 2011 and the fifth high fat record. In her second lactation at 3-1, she produced 36,290 lbs. milk, 1,771 lbs. fat, 1,272 lbs. protein and 4,397 lbs. cheese yield. “Topaz” won the 2010 Pot O’Gold Production Contest and holds several class leader records, including the yearling fat and cheese yield records and the junior three-year-old milk record. Other cows less well-known among Jersey producers are making their marks in the Mainstream herd as well, including Michael’s purchase from the 2009 Pot O’Gold Sale, Kilgus Finalist Gem-ET, Very Good-87%. In her first lactation, “Gem” JERSEY JOURNAL
made a 305-day record of 30,430 lbs. milk, 1,515 lbs. fat and 1,011 lbs. protein, with a cheese yield of 3,492 lbs. On the current National Class Leader list, the record ranks third for fat, fifth for milk and cheese and sixth for protein among yearlings. D & D Jerseys, owned by the husband and wife team of Dan Stock and Donna Phillips, ranks second in the nation for milk and third for protein and cheese yield again this year with an AJCA lactation average of 24,979 lbs. milk, 1,199 lbs. fat and 903 lbs. protein on 43 cows. The average cheese yield is 3,093 lbs. The herd in Newton, Wis., ranks fourth for fat, up from seventh last year. Though milk yield is down slightly from last year, components are up 24 lbs. for fat and 6 lbs. for protein. All this was accomplished in spite of a herd expansion and barn remodel during 2011. The top producer in the D & D milking string, Dodan Wild Rebel Zip, Very Good84%, completed a 305-day record that ranks among the top records of 2011. Her 4-3 record of 32,090 lbs. milk, 1,704 lbs. fat and 1,107 lbs. protein is the ninth-high fat record. D & D Jerseys also ranks among the breed’s top herds for Jersey Performance Index (JPI). With the December 2011 genetic evaluations, it ranks #23 with an average JPI of +68 on 60 cows. Apples and Waves Jerseys, owned by Jill Maxham, South Hero, Vt., held its national rankings of third for milk and second for fat, protein and cheese yield this year with an AJCA lactation average of 24,826 lbs. milk, 1,314 lbs. fat and 968 lbs. protein. The average cheese yield on the 24-cow herd is 3,311 lbs. Gains in all measure of production this past year—462 lbs. milk, 26 lbs. fat and 37 lbs. protein—helped Maxham maintain her position on the leader board. The performance of many of the herd’s leading ladies contributed to the gains, including two cows that made top 305-day records in 2011. In the first two months of this year, two other members of the herd completed records that rank on the current National Class Leader List. In 2011, Hillacres Marinas Nautical, Excellent-95%, completed a 305-day record of 36,610 lbs. milk, 2,027 lbs. fat, 1,469 lbs. protein and 5,087 lbs. cheese yield. The record ranks as the high 305-day record of the year for all categories of production. “Nautical” is also the National Class Leader for protein and cheese yield among cows 5-9 years-of-age. Her daughter, Bow Tie Res Nautica, Very Good-88%, is one of the cows that recently completed a record on the National Class Leader List. Her 4-5 record of 35,190 lbs. milk, 1,520 lbs. fat and (continued to page 22)

Policy for Maximizing Profit with Jerseys
Adopted March 2007 by the American Jersey Cattle Association Board of Directors The American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) Board of Directors encourages its members to employ the following management practices to improve herd profitability: Maximize the genetic potential of the herd by • Using top ranking proven bulls on 60% to 75% of services. • Sampling a group of selected young bulls that qualify for the AJCA Young Sire Program and/or the Genetic Diversity Program for 25% to 40% of services. • Breeding heifers A.I. to proven or selected young bulls that qualify for the AJCA Young Sire Program and/ or the Genetic Diversity Program; if natural service for heifers is a management necessity, using bulls that qualify for those programs. • Maintaining accurate identification and breeding records. • Participating in AJCA performance and functional type appraisal programs that provide the basis for genetic evaluations. • Making mating assignments that maximize profit and minimize inbreeding. Challenge the genetic capacity of the herd by • Feeding ample quantities of properly balanced rations to milking cows. • Minimizing involuntary culling so that voluntary culling can be maximized. • Providing for the special nutritional and management needs of dry cows. • Having cows in proper body condition. • Providing special attention to calf raising practices to minimize losses and optimize growth. • Using new technologies that provide economical advantages in your situation. Exploit Jersey advantages by • Using tamper-evident ID and registering calves before they are six (6) month of age. • Freshening heifers under 24 months of age. • Becoming involved in milk marketing efforts that gain equitable payment for milk components. • Becoming involved in cattle marketing efforts that supplement herd income. • Using your herd and farm to project a positive image for the Jersey breed and the dairy industry.

JERSEY JOURNAL
The past several years, the March issue of the Jersey Journal has been designated as the production issue. Jersey breed averages for milk, fat, protein and cheese yields are announced for the previous year, as are production averages for highproducing herds across the country. Those who are just getting a start in the Jersey business may wonder which records are included in breed and herd averages and how they are calculated. They may also wonder how standardized production compares to actual production and why standardized records, also called mature equivalent (m.e.) records, are used instead of actual herd averages. In this issue of the Jersey Jargon column, we’ll take a closer look at standardized production averages and see how production among Jersey cows has changed over the past several decades. Standardized Production Averages Records included in the official breed average are made by cows enrolled in one of three performance programs administered by the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA): Production Records Plus, TPE-Plus or REAP-Plus. Cows must have a registry status of HR (Herd Registry), PR (Provisional Register) or GR (Genetic Recovery). The record must be between 180-305 days in length and have a data collection rating (DCR) of 85 or greater. Breed averages and herd averages, also called lactation averages, are calculated on a standardized 305-day, twice daily milking, mature equivalent (m.e.) basis. Milk, fat, protein and cheese yields are adjusted
to account for days in milk, milking frequency, season of calving, location and age of the cow by use of special factors. Younger cows will have higher m.e. values than mature cows because it is assumed they have not yet reached peak production which generally occurs in later lactations. As well, cows milked twice a day have higher m.e. values than those milked three times a day because it is assumed the yield from cows milked three times is greater. While actual production will have a great influence on standardized production, adjusting records for the above factors makes it easier to compare cows of different ages from different management situations and herds from different parts of the country. It also makes it easier to compare breed production from year to year. Herds with lactation averages above breed average are listed by state on page 20. Changing Times, Changing Cows In the past four decades, production of dairy cattle has doubled thanks to improved feed, management practices, genetics and a host of other tools. In 1970, the Jersey lactation average was 9,914 lbs. milk and 501 lbs. fat (protein and cheese yield were not evaluated at this time). In 2011, the lactation average reached an all-time high of 18,633 lbs. milk, 889 lbs. fat, 676 lbs. protein and 2,294 lbs. cheese yield. The increases in milk yield were relatively linear from 1970-2000, growing 7,766 lbs. across three decades, and then leveled in the 10-year period thereafter. While fat and protein yields increased accordingly, less obvious changes in Jersey milk have occurred in the past decade—fat and protein percentages have increased, as has the amount of cheddar cheese created from a hundredweight of Jersey milk. In the 10-year period from 2002-2011, (continued to page 38)
The blue bars in the chart above shows Jersey production on a cheese yield basis for the 13year period from 1999-2011. The purple bars show cheese yield projections to 2015. The green line is the trend for cheese yield per hundredweight. Actual cheese yield is increasing, as is the amount of Cheddar cheese that can be created per hundredweight of Jersey milk.

milk production increased 65 lbs. each year, fat increased 6.7 lbs. and protein increased 4.1 lbs. Cheese yield increased 15.0 lbs. In the past five years, from 20072011, milk production increased 59 lbs. per year, fat increased 12.3 lbs. and protein increased 5.3 lbs. Cheese yield increased 21.9 lbs. In 2000, breed average fat was 4.56%; Page 38
breed average protein was 3.51%. The amount of cheddar cheese that could be produced per hundredweight of Jersey milk was 12.04 lbs. In 2011, breed average fat was 4.77% and protein was 3.63%. Today, 12.31 lbs. of cheddar cheese can be created per hundredweight of Jersey milk. The emphasis Jersey breeders have placed on developing a cow that produces a more nutrient dense product is perfect for the times, when fluid milk consump-
tion is declining, demand for processed dairy foods is on the rise and land and energy resources available for feeding the world are shrinking. Jersey cows require 20% less total feedstuffs by weight and 32% less water to produce the same amount of milkfat and protein as Holstein cows. As well, the Jersey cow’s carbon footprint is 20% smaller than that of her black and white peer to produce an equal amount of cheese. JERSEY JOURNAL
Oregon Jersey Breeders Meet The year’s first annual meeting of a state Jersey organization was hosted by members of the Oregon Jersey Cattle Association at the Spirit Mountain Casino in Grand Ronde on January 7, 2012. About 75 people attended the event to honor Jersey breeders for their achievements in the past year, tend to organization business and socialize with their peers. In the junior awards program, Rebecca Thomas, Cornelius, won the senior division of the youth achievement contest. She was also crowned as the 2012 Oregon Jersey Queen. Thomas will compete at the national level in the 2011 National Jersey Youth Achievement Contest, with winners announced this summer, and the National Jersey Queen Contest held in conjunction with All American festivities this fall. Carson Thomas Hewitt, Mulino, son of Peter and Jill (Thomas) Hewitt, was named winner of the junior division of the youth achievement contest. The fifth-grader is in his second year of 4-H and has seven Registered Jerseys in his herd. Heifers are raised on the home farm. Cows are housed at neighboring Lady Lane Farm and provide milk for Queen of Quality® producer, Garry’s Meadow Fresh. Hewitt enjoys playing soccer and swimming and exhibiting cattle. Last year, he showed Thomas Signature Janey, Excellent-90%, to Supreme Champion honors at the Clackamas County (OR) 4-H Fair. In the youth production contest, Gerritt Schmidlkofer, Forest Grove, took home the top prize for his entry, Peterson Action Molly. The Very Good-88% daughter of Forest Glen Avery Action-ET, GJPI

Schmidlkofer purchased “Molly” as a two-month-old heifer calf from fellow Oregon breeders, Eric and Roy Peterson. She has proven to be a solid investment, giving the junior three heifer calves that carry his prefix. Stephanie D. Woods, Beaver, earned second place with her entry, Peterson Paramount Winnie, Very Good-83%. “Winnie” produced a 6-5 record with an m.e. of 20,878–980–805 and a dollar value of $3,756.21. Tyler G. Seals, Cloverdale, placed third with Sunny Ridge Militia Bell, Very Good-86%. “Bell” made a 3-1 record with an m.e. of 19,022–903–665 and a dollar value of $3,306.02. The juniors hosted a highly successful raffle that raised more than $400 for Jersey youth programs in the state. Cascadia Farm, Lloyd and Cindy Hansen and Phil and Christy Hansen, Canby, won the grand prize—a canvas giclée of “Wide Load Ahead” that had been signed and
numbered by artist Denise Rich of El Cajun, Calif. Other raffle items donated to the cause by Jersey breeders included show halters, clippers, spa treatments, bull semen and tickets to a George Jones concert. In the business program, members heard from several representatives of the national Jersey organizations, including American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) President Bob Bignami, AJCA Director Jamie Bansen, National AllJersey Inc. (NAJ) Director Norm Martin and AJCA-NAJ Area Representative Kate Rector. The common thread of their messages focused on Jersey breed growth in the past year. In 2011, all-time breed records were set for many key programs, including registrations (96,174), cows enrolled on performance programs (137,915), herds on performance programs (1,085), JerseyTags (168,934 units) and cows appraised (94,045). The breed also posted new records for milk, fat, protein and (continued to page 43)

Genomics Key Message at North Carolina Meeting Jersey breeders from North Carolina gathered for the annual meeting of their state Jersey organization at the Agriculture Center in Statesville on January 28, 2012. They recognized adults and juniors for accomplishments with Jerseys in the past year and heard from several industry guests, including the keynote speaker, Herby Lutz, a dairy sire analyst for Select Sires. Lutz spoke about the manner in which genotyping is changing the way dairy cows are bred. Before genotyping was available, pedigree, performance and progeny information was evaluated to predict what genes could be passed from parent to progeny. Genotyping makes it possible to see what has actually been inherited and can be transmitted by evaluating the animal’s DNA. Another bonus is that genomic evaluations are performed monthly rather than three times a year as traditional genetic evaluations. Lutz stressed the importance of using the highest-ranking proven bulls in matings, incorporating genotyped young sires and not making too many matings to any individual bull. Genomics can help Jersey breeders decide which calves to keep or cull and how to optimally use sexed semen.
The Sunbeam Farms Trophy for high lifetime milk production was given to Coy Reese for CMR Highland Heavenly Hash. Dr. Shannon Davidson of North Carolina State University makes the presentation. “Heavenly Hash” made 244,266 lbs. milk and 8,738 lbs. protein in 11 lactations.

Gibsonville, and Cole Davis, Pleasant Garden, both in attendance, spoke about their experiences representing the state at the National 4-H Dairy Conference held in conjunction with World Dairy Expo in Madison, Wis. The conference included workshops on artificial insemination, dairy foods, rumen function and herd management and tours of the Hoard’s Dairyman farm and publishing company and ABS Global. The pair was also given opportunity to experience World Dairy Expo.
Some of the Jersey breeders earning herd production awards at the annual meeting included, left to right, Wayne Lutz of Deerview Jerseys, Dorman Loyd of Shady Brook Farm, Lane Karriker of Karrimont Farm and Corey Lutz of Piedmont Jerseys.
Lutz also urged Jersey breeders to stay abreast of the technology because the way it is being used is always being redefined. Dr. Shannon Davidson, a dairy associate with the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service, and Matt Lange, with the North Carolina Dairy Advantage, collectively spoke about the improving outlook for the dairy industry in North Carolina. Both milk production and cow numbers in the state increased in 2011. As well, dairy processors like Origin Food Group are setting up shop in the state. The company will produce a line of drinkable yogurt available in February and create an additional 50 jobs in the Statesville area. Dr. Brinton Hopkins, coordinator of the North Carolina Dairy Youth Program, brought the group up-to-date on youth dairy programs in the state. He thanked Bridgette Lutz, Lincolnton, for her help as one of the leaders of the Southeast Dairy Youth Retreat held in Asheboro last year. This year’s event will be held in Gainesville, Fla., on July 8-12, 2012. Jersey breeders heard from juniors who earned financial support from the North Carolina Jersey Breeders Association to attend dairy events during the past year. Jersey junior Janiece Leonard of Lexington attended the National FFA Convention and earned a gold award in the dairy cattle handlers competition. Cole Amorielle,

HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
Celebrating 50 Golden Years
A
s one of the oldest celebrations of the Jersey breed, the Kentucky National Show and Sale is a time-honored tradition of high profile animals. It is an event that has drawn together breeders from across North American for years and has seen national champions, production leaders and bull mothers get their start. This one event has accomplished many feats for the Jersey breed and the dairy industry of Kentucky. This year, consigners and buyers alike will gather to commemorate the 50th anniversary and some of the historically famous animals to cross the auction block in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. “The quality of Kentucky dairy cattle is as strong as ever,” said James Comer, Commissioner of Agriculture, Commonwealth of Kentucky. “This event provides an opportunity for dairy cattle producers from all over the United States to showcase their genetics and gives buyers a chance to purchase from some of the best cattle families in the business.” For years members of the Kentucky Jersey Cattle Club (KJCC) have worked with various sale managers to consign their best and select the best from across the United States and Canada. This event has created a strong tradition and each year is known to bring in large crowds of buyers that are anxious to be part of the excellence. Building a Tradition The joint sponsored event from the KJCC and the Kentucky Department of Agriculture has offered members of some of the most historic cow families of the breed since the inception of the show and sale in 1963. The event was created to encourage Kentucky dairy livestock breeders, of all breeds to buy and sell outstanding animals, in which they are rewarded with prize money established by their sale sponsors. The purse for this show has never been less than $7,500 to be split among the participants. The Kentucky Department of Agriculture sponsors half the funds given to each individual dairy breed and the state breed organizations pick up the other half of the check to help fund

this promotional event. The very first sale was organized by several individuals, led by sale chairman, Tom Harris, Carrollton, Ky. With the help of American Jersey Cattle Association Area Representative, Jimmy Deal, and the Director of Shows and Fairs at the Kentucky Department of Agriculture, George Buchanan, the sale went off without a hitch and paved the way for future growth and success. “There’s no denying that times in the dairy industry have drastically changed since 1963. However, the support and passion shown by our consignors and buyers over the last 50 years in truly remarkable,” said Katherine Wheatley, Coordinator of the Kentucky National Shows and Sales, Kentucky Department of Agriculture. The inaugural show offered a purse of $8,500, while the first sale offered 48 animals from 11 different states. The 45 females and three bulls sold were all entered in the show, giving bidders a chance to see the animals walk the tanbark before making their sale selections later the same day. The consignments had more to offer than what met the eye though as all cows in the sale were appraised as Very Good or Excellent, with 10 of those animals being appraised 90% or higher. This sale set the pace for the next 49 editions and has not since diminished, with the top female consignments from all sales averaging a Very Good-89% score. Since that first show and sale, 2,513 Jerseys have crossed the auction block to meet their new owners, with an average for the top consignment of $7,216.33. The highest averaging sale to date was in 1979 when 50 animals were auctioned for an average price of $3,006. The highest grossing sale came in 2002 when JMS sold 75 animals for a total of $201,400. To date, the Kentucky National Sale has totaled $4,539,260 in Jersey sales. The first sale was managed by Chester Folck and Sons, Springfield, Ohio, a responsibility they would continue until 1970, and featured Merlin Woodruff as the

auctioneer, a role he would reprise 29 times. In all, there have been five different sale managers: Folck and Sons, Hanover Hill Sales and Service Inc., Bob Lord, Norman Nabholz, who presided over the 25th Anniversary sale, and Jersey Marketing Service, which will handle the 50 th Kentucky National Sale this spring. There have been four different auctioneers to preside over the Kentucky National Sale, with Woodruff, Jack Holbrook, David Wedertz and Lynn Lee all taking their seat in the auction box. “As we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Kentucky National Show and Sale, we tip our hat to the legends that have come before us and we give a nod to the traditions of our past as we plan to make this the most legendary year yet,” said Alta Mae Core, Keightly-Core Jerseys, Salvisa, Ky., whose family has purchased and consigned to many of the sales. She is a co-chair of the 2012 event. The Great Ones Sell Here Not only have there been some highly appraised animals, there have been many breed greats that have seen the gavel drop in Kentucky. Generators Topsy, Excellent-97%, was the sale’s top consignment from Cedarcrest Farm, Faunsdale, Ala., in 1969, and purchased by Briggs and Beth Cunningham, Woodstock, Conn., for $5,000. “Topsy,” who was also the Grand Champion of the Kentucky National Show that same weekend, later went on to be named the National Grand Champion in 1973 and achieve Hall of Fame status seven times. Three years later, another Kentucky National animal took center stage at the All American Show. Sybil Surville Jesse, Excellent-96%, another consignment by Cedarcrest Farms, was purchased by Waverly Farms, Clear Brook, Va., at the 1973 Kentucky National Sale for $2,000. “Jesse” was named Grand Champion of the 1976 and 1977 All American Shows and was Reserve Grand Champion at the 1978 and 1979 All American Shows. The high seller of the 1982 Kentucky National Sale brought her consigners, Greenland Jersey Farm, Hokinsville, Ky., a

premium of $15,000, and delivered her new owners a stack of accolades already under her belt. A.S.M. Miss America of GJF was the winner of the 1980 National Jersey Jug Futurity and the Reserve Grand Champion of the All American Show that same year. The partnership of The Billings Farm, H.L. Hobbs Jr., Walebe Farms Inc. and Greenland Jersey Farm, Woodstock, Vt., placed the final bid to take home this highly regarded cow. Most recently it was Legion Polly, Excellent-92%, to join the ranks of Kentucky National Champions at the All American Show. “Polly” was purchased by Nic Sauder, River Valley Farms, Tremont, Ill., in 2008, from Cedarcrest Farms for $7,600. That same year she went on to be named the Grand Champion and Overall Premier Performance cow of the All American Junior Jersey Show. That same year saw “Polly” named Grand Champion of the Illinois State Fair Show, the Kentucky National Show and the Kentucky Kow-A-Rama show, the latter where she was also named Supreme Champion. Not only did these cows make an immediate impact on the show and sale, their offspring continue to be a force both in Kentucky and across the country as the solid genetics pass from generation to generation. One of the most well-known Canadian cows to cross the border to sell at Kentucky National in recent years was Giprat Renn Anastasia-ET, Excellent-95%. She was consigned by Piedmont Jersey Inc., Quebec, at the 1999 Kentucky National Sale, where Waverly Farm placed the final bid of $4,300 on the bred heifer. “Anastasia” went on to be named the All American Junior three-year-old and All American four-year-old cow in 2000 and 2001 and was also named Reserve Grand Champion of the 2003 Central National Show. However, her legacy did not end when she left the tanbark: “Anastasia” has seven Excellent daughters, three of which have placed among the top five animals at the All American Show the past two years. “Through the hard work and dedication of many dairy industry legends and the generations that have followed, the Kentucky National (continued to page 55)

1979 Eastern National Show. Moving Forward The Kentucky National Show and Sale has served as more than just a platform to exhibit and bid on high quality cattle. Since the very first sale the Kentucky Jersey Cattle Club has organized pre-sale social activities to bring together patrons from across the country. This year there will also be a banquet hosted by the Kentucky Department of Agriculture to honor all those present from the dairy industry. “We look forward to fellowship with friends at the 50th celebration,” said Comer. “Dairy families from the past, present and future will attend the event to honor the great people and cows associated with the Kentucky National over the past 50 years.” As dairy enthusiasts from across the country gather to honor the gold anniversary of the Kentucky National Show and Sale, they can take home with them a piece of Kentucky and Jersey history.

Ohio Meeting Draws Large Crowd for Achievements More than 180 Jersey enthusiasts attended the annual meeting of the Ohio Jersey Breeders Association (OJBA) on January 28, 2012, at Der Dutchman restaurant in Plain City. Prominent breeders and up-and-coming youth were recognized for their achievemennts throughout the day-long program. The morning business session kicked off with updates from the Ohio dairy industry including reports from Jenny Hubble on the American Dairy Association Mid East and the Ohio Dairy Producers Association. Bill Grammer, American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) Director, and Neal Smith, Executive Secretary for the national Jersey organizations, updated the membership on national news and thanked them for their help in reaching alltime registration and production records in 2011. Jason Robinson, manager of Jersey Marketing Service (JMS) spoke to the crowd about JMS’s latest online service, JerseyBid.com, and the upcoming spring sale schedule. Angi Kaverman updated the crowd on the 2012 Ohio State Fair schedule. The junior show will be held on August 2, followed by the two-day open show on August 3-4, at the Ohio Expo Center, Columbus, Ohio. John Griewe, Purebred Dairy Cattle Assocation (PDCA) Jersey representative, reported on the annual PDCA meeting to the group. Rounding out the morning events, Dr. Maurice Eastridge of The Ohio State University, reported on college updates and information on the Buckeye Dairy Club and Waterman Dairy.
Shelley Starkey congratulates Megan Thurston on receiving the Ohio Outstanding Girl Award.
Junior production awards were earned by Meagan Bolen, Erin Williams, Jody Willams and Marissa Bolen.
Awards Tom and Shirley Schindel, S&O Jerseys, West Liberty, Ohio, were awarded the OJBA’s Pioneer Service Award. Tom’s love for the Jersey began in 1952, after admiring the herd owned by his neigbor, Ray Sherer’s herd. After expressing
interest in owning a Jersey, the two made a deal. In exchange for Tom’s help in baling hay, Tom was given a choice of the calf pen. He had an eye for cattle even back then as that heifer won her class at the Ohio State FFA Show. He expressed his thanks to those that “always had time for a young man with questions” when it came to figuring out how to best raise quality Jerseys. Over the years, the Schindel family has been recognized for many accomplishments. In the 1980s, the herd was recognized as the third high production herd in the state for their herd size of 41-50 cows. During that same time, the herd was recognized in Shelby County for being the highest producing herd of all breeds (fat corrected milk). In 1986, the herd dispersed as Tom’s full-time job at Plastipak Packaging moved the family to Texas. But in the early 1990s, Jerseys became part of the family again as daughter Dianne, ‘rented’ some heifers for her children, Kelsey and Ethan to show in 4-H. When Tom and Shirley moved back to Ohio in 2004, S&O Jerseys was established in honor of their grandchildren, the Schindel and Oakley families. After housing animals in many herds around the state Tom and Shirley decided it was time to bring the cows home and built a new milk house and renovated an equipment barn to a box and tie stall barn for the herd in 2008. Since re-establishing their herd, the Schindel family has enjoyed success
around Ohio at the district and state fair and also at The All American Jersey Show and World Dairy Expo. In 2009, they exhibited S&O Suspect Tiara to Reserve Junior All American Summer Yearling honors. This past year, they traveled to Madison, Wis., to the World Dairy Expo and showed Avonlea Mischiefs Miley to a fifth place finish in the World Dairy Expo futurity. The family is very active and diligent in their support of Ohio Jersey activities. They participate each year as a consignor or buyer in the Ohio Spring Classic Sale, sponsor junior activities and even sponsored the futurity winner’s blanket for the 50th anniversary two-year-old Jersey futurity in Ohio. In the afternoon session, the Jersey juniors were recognized for the accomplishments as well. Taking home the top honor for achievement was Kira Andre, Wauseon, Ohio. She received the Diley Family Achievement award and the Ohio Jersey Breeders Achievement award. She is eligible to compete in this year’s national contest. Andre is a student at The Ohio State University-ATI and is majoring in dairy science. Upon graduation she plans to expand her family dairy. She was a member of the second class of Jersey Youth Academy and has served as an officer and director of the Ohio Junior Jersey Association. She has exhibited at local, state and national shows with her Jerseys. Presented the Ohio Outstanding Boy

Award was Ethan Starkey, Mechanicsburg. The high school sophomore is an avid cross country runner at his high school and very active in his FFA chapter. Last year he was named Star Greenhand of his chapter and placed fifth in the state FFA Creed public speaking contest. He is the current vice president of the Ohio Junior’s and placed third in intermediate showmanship at The All American Junior Show. Meghan Thurston, Delaware, won the Ohio Outstanding Girl Award. The high school junior had a busy year with her Jersey herd as she participated at her district and state fair. She is active in 4-H dairy judging and placed in the top 20 during the North American International Livestock Judging contest this past November. This past summer, Meghan took one of her cows into Columbus to a church to help raise money for underprivileged kids in Africa. The money raised would go to buy a cow that could supply milk for their home. It was a learning experience for everyone as Meghan was able to share her agriculture knowledge with the city youth.

National Dairy Shrine Award Applications Due March 15
National Dairy Shrine (NDS) is again seeking nominations for its most prestigious awards: Guest of Honor, Pioneer, Distinguished Dairy Cattle Breeder, Progressive Dairy Producer, and Graduate Production Award. The Guest of Honor is given to a contemporary dairy leader for outstanding accomplishments and contributions to the industry. It has been awarded every year since 1949 when Dean H. Kildee was named the first Guest of Honor. Each year, three to four living or deceased Pioneers of the industry are honored by NDS for their service and leadership in the industry. Meanwhile, the Distinguished Dairy Cattle Breeder is an award which recognizes active, progressive dairy producers who, through their expertise in managing a dairy breeding herd based upon sound genetics and business principles, serve as a model of success for fellow breeders throughout the country. All these award winners’ accomplishments are on permanent display at the NDS Museum in Fort Atkinson, Wis. One of NDS’s newer awards, the Progressive Dairy Producer Award, is given
to producers ages 21-45 who have introduced and applied effective management and business practices that help achieve more profitable dairy businesses. Two $2,000 awards for education and travel are given annually, one for herd sizes with 300 milk cows or less and a second for herds with over 300 milk cows. The Graduate Dairy Production Award recognizes and assists qualified two-year and four-year agricultural college graduates efforts to pursue a career in commercial dairy farming and to gain ownership of dairy cattle with the intent of growing their dairy herd. The applicant must be employed in a herd management role on a commercial dairy when completing the award application. The winner will receive a $2,500 award. Nominations or applications must be submitted on official forms by March 15, 2012. If you know someone who should be nominated for these awards, please visit the NDS website at www.dairyshrine.org

JERSEY JOURNAL
PERFORMANCE REPORT Top 25 Records in History and National Class Leader List The Top 25 Records for Milk, Protein, Fat and Cheese Yield completed in the history of AJCA production testing programs are listed below. The National Class Leader List summarizes the 10 highest lactations for milk, protein, fat, and cheese yield in nine age categories. Lactations are 305 days (or less) in length and are official on the AJCA records. These lists include lactations added to the database
through December 31, 2011. To qualify for these lists, all test days included in a completed 305- or 365-day lactation record must occur in a herd or herds enrolled in the Production Records Plus, TPE-Plus, or REAP-Plus programs. An asterisk in the column after days milked indicates that the animal was milked more than twice daily during part or all of the lactation. A “V” following the record indicates that it has been verified.

In Memoriam Jack Holbrook Jack Holbrook, Murfreesboro, Tenn., 74, passed away on January 19, 2012, at St. Thomas Hospital from congestive heart failure. He was a native of the New Middleton Community of Smith County and son of the late Ralph D. and Ruth Bradford Holbrook. Jack was most notably known for his business, Jack Holbrook Auction Service, which he established in 1967. He cried many high-visibility Jersey sales over the years, including the Kentucky National and the Deep South and Southeast Heifer Growers South Sale, the Pot O’Gold Sale and The All American Jersey Sale, and was a major mover of dairy cattle of all breeds in the southeastern part of the country. Holbrook called the Pot O’Gold Sale for 10 consecutive years beginning in 1992 and performed duties at The All American Jersey Sale eight times, passing the gavel to his protégée, Lynn Lee, Smyrna, Tenn., halfway through the prestigious sale in 2008. Holbrook won the Tennessee Auctioneers Association Bid Calling Contest in 1994 and was inducted into the Tennessee Auctioneers Hall of Fame in 2000. Jack also had a lifelong career milking Jersey cattle, earning his first milk check at the age of eight. He established a milk route after high school graduation and then returned to the family farm, Holbrook Farms, in Murfreesboro. He and his wife, Peggy, operated the 60-cow Regis-

They were instrumental in planning and hosting the AJCA-NAJ Annual Meetings hosted by their home state in 1986 and 2006, and played a key role in the development of the Tennessee Dairy Expo, the largest combined trade show and cattle show in the state.

Dr. Julio John “Doc” Malnati Dr. Julio John “Doc” Malnati, 95, Newberry, S.C., passed away on February 23, 2012, at White Oak Manor Nursing Home in Newberry. He was born on October 29, 1916, in Sheffield, Mass., to the late Antonio and
Adele Ambrosini Malnati and grew up on the family dairy farm in Berkshire County. He graduated from the School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania in 1937. He opened a small animal practice in North Adams, Mass., but soon became recognized for his reproduction work with dairy cattle. In 1942, he established his own Registered Jersey herd in Massachusetts. The herd earned several Gold Star awards from the American Jersey Cattle Club and ranked nationally for milk and fat production in 1966. In 1972, Malnati retired from his veterinary practice to form a partnership with Briggs Cunningham of South Kent, Conn., and moved to South Carolina to establish Bush River Jerseys. A year into the partnership, Malnati purchased Cunningham’s interest and became sole proprietor. For many years, the dairy marketed milk through Peelers Dairy using the All-Jersey® label. During Malnati’s 30year career breeding Registered Jerseys, Bush River genetics were sold to Jersey breeders in 40 states and internationally to Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Costa Rica, India, Mexico, Pakistan and a number of African countries. Several bulls with the Bush River prefix were also sent to A.I., including Bush River Brigadier and his maternal brother, Bush River Charmer, who was syndicated in The All American Jersey Sale in 1982, and Bush River Avery Roulette-ET. Today, Bush River Jerseys is managed by Malnati’s grandson, Richard A. “Rick” Doran Jr., and his family. The dairy began bottling milk on the farm in September 2004 and is again an All-Jersey producerdistributor. Malnati is the only member of the American Jersey Cattle Association to serve five terms as director from two different regions of the country. His first three terms in the 1960s were as a resident of Massachusetts; his fourth and fifth terms in the 1980s were as a resident of South Carolina. Malnati was also vice president of the organization, served on every committee of the board and chaired the Finance Committee for many years. He also was president of the Massachusetts Jersey Cattle Club, the South Carolina Jersey Cattle Breeders Association and the South Carolina Dairy Herd Improvement Association and director of the New England Jersey Breeders Association. Malnati received the AJCA Master Breeder Award in 1993 and the organization’s Distinguished Service Award in 2000. National Dairy Shrine honored him with the Distinguished Dairy Cattle Breeder award in 2005. He was inducted JERSEY JOURNAL
into the South Carolina Dairy Hall of Fame in 1994 and received a commendation from the South Carolina House of Representatives for his contributions to the state’s agriculture and dairy industries. South Carolina Jersey breeders gave him the Master Breeder Award in 1990 and the Honors Award in 1992. New England Jersey breeders presented him with the Boss Turner Award for service in 1996. Malnati made a Patron-level donation to the AJCC Research Foundation and more recently established and endowed the Russell-Malnati Scholarship, the largest scholarship offered by the AJCA. Doc was a dedicated member of Saint Mark’s Catholic Church and served on the church’s finance committee. In addition to his grandson, Rick (Tammie), Malnati is survived by his wife, Marilyn Lundvall Russell Malnati of Newberry; daughter Joan L. Malnati march 2012
