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

JERSEY JOURNAL

Compare and Contrast From year to year, the AJCA-NAJ Annual Meetings are held in a different part of these United States, affording us an opportunity to compare and contrast what it means to be in the Jersey dairy business in this country. From this perspective, the locations of the 2012 and 2013 meetings are the bookends of the Jersey business as it exists today. A year ago we were in New England, where the Jersey breed gained its foothold in this country starting in 1850 after dozens of cows landed at such eastern ports as Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Portland, Maine, imported by people like Daniel Webster of Massachusetts and W. W. Billings and Samuel C. Colt, both of Connecticut. From New England, Jerseys rapidly spread westward so that by 1890, they were located in 47 of the 48 states in our union. Even today, New England is a prime source of Jerseys for a dairy industry that has spread its wings in the more open west to produce dairy products that are eaten more often on a pizza than served from a glass. Bigger herds and updated facilities aside, history and tradition seeped from every pore of the farms visited in 2012. Not so in 2013. In 2007 Hilmar Cheese greenfielded a dairy industry among the massive beef feedlots surrounding Dalhart, Texas and by its pricing formula enticed the development of a sustainable, high component milk supply. Seven years ago few, if any, Jerseys were to be found in the northernmost panhandle of Texas. Today Jerseys and Jersey-crosses are so numerous on the High Plains that they outnumber all the other breeds. The milking herds are big. The dairies reflect advances in facility engineering to support cow comfort and health, labor efficiency, and high throughput in the parlor. A heifer ranch houses 26,000 head. Robotic technology feeds the calves at one farm. RFID is everywhere. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no better time to see the newest face of Jersey dairying than next month during the 2013 annual meetings. Compare and contrast for yourself. Better still, invite others who need Jerseys to join us in Amarillo, Texas, June 26 through 29. See pages 33 and 34 for the complete schedule and early-bird registration form. The Meetings and Elections The 55th Annual Meeting of National All-Jersey Inc. will convene at 8:00 a.m. CDT on Friday, June 28, 2013. The 145th Annual Meeting of The American Jersey Cattle Association will be called to order at the same time on the next day, Saturday, June 29. Both meetings will be held at may 2013

the Ambassador Hotel in Amarillo. Biographies of the candidates for AJCA President and Directors and NAJ Directors begin on page 46 of this issue. Elections are conducted by ballot only. Ballots will be mailed the week of May 20 to all active members of the AJCA and all voting members of NAJ. Then, you need to vote. You need to vote, first, to express thanks and appreciation to these people for standing up as candidates for these positions. Although it has been said many times before, it is well worth repeating. The Jersey organizations have been blessed with outstanding leadership. If that is to continue to be the case, we need people who are both qualified and willing to stand as candidates for election to the AJCA and NAJ Boards. You need to vote, second, to exercise your right and responsibility to have a voice in the affairs of the Jersey organizations. The AJCA and NAJ are governed by representatives of their memberships. The people who will be elected at the June meetings will be the people who create the policies and programs, who set the fees and authorize the expenditures, who hire the Executive Secretary and Treasurer, and who are responsible for the overall well-being of the organizations. You need to vote because the decisions they make and what they do will affect your business. A proxy will also be included in the envelope containing your AJCA and/or NAJ ballot. The proxy is an instrument that you can use to be represented at the annual meetings if you cannot be present in person. You can choose to be represented by the Proxy Committee named on the proxy, or you can select your own representative. If a vote of AJCA or NAJ members needs to be taken during their respective meetings, either the Proxy Committee or the person you have designated as your representative on the proxy will be able to vote for you. If you will not be attending the meetings, vote by mail. Mark your ballot(s), include your signed proxy(ies) and mail them so that they arrive in the office of the Executive Secretary before Friday, June 21. Any ballot arriving late will be filed unopened. Members who will be in Amarillo simply need to turn in their ballots to the Inspectors of Election by noon prior to the date of the Annual Meeting. If you believe that you are either an active AJCA member and/or a voting NAJ member, but do not receive your ballot by June 1, contact the Executive Secretaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. Page 17

AJCA MASTER BREEDER

Bearl and Joanne Seals

earl “Smokey” and Joanne Seals, Cloverdale, Ore., will be honored as the 70th recipients of the Master Breeder award of the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) at the Jersey Breeders’ Recognition Banquet in Amarillo, Texas, on June 28. The Master Breeder Award is bestowed annually to a living AJCA member, family, partnership or corporation that, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, has bred outstanding animals for many years and thereby made a notable contribution to the advancement of the Jersey breed in the United States. “The history of the Sun Valley Jersey herd is an outstanding one, with present and future positive impact on the genetic direction and profitability of the Jersey breed that is becoming more evident every year,” wrote Richard Smith, ABS Jersey Sire Analyst in a letter of support for the couple’s nomination. For more than 55 years Smokey Seals has bred Registered Jerseys under the Sun Valley prefix. Growing up on a small dairy farm in Oregon, he knew at an early age he wanted to become a dairyman and breed Jersey cows. In 1956, he purchased his first Registered Jersey as a 4-H project and has never looked back. While completing his B.S. in animal science at Oregon State University, he met his wife Joanne. The two were married and have been partners in Sun Valley Jerseys (then located in Myrtle Point, Ore.) since that union 44 years ago. Now the couple along with their three sons, Tom, David and Jeff and their families, own and operate the 540-head milking herd with an equal number of replacement heifers. More than a decade ago Smokey and Joanne were faced with a positive dilemma—all three of their sons were looking to come back home after college and join the partnership. The decision was made in 2000, to relocate to a larger dairy in Cloverdale, Ore. With the move, the herd also took a positive step in becoming a part of the Tillamook Cheese milk market. “At Sun Valley their breeding emphasis has long been on a cow that produces milk with very high cheese yield properties, Page 18

paying attention to the percentages of both butterfat and protein, including the ratio of butterfat to protein,” wrote Mark Wustenberg, DVM, Vice President of Quality Assurance and Member Relations of Tillamook Creamery. “We are pleased to confirm that milk from the Jerseys at Sun Valley is among the highest cheeseyield deliveries we receive from any of our producer-member herds, which enhances both the desirability of the milk as it is utilized in our production process and the payment per hundredweight received by the herd owner.” While Smokey, Joanne and their sons worked to refine the focus of their herds breeding program, the family began to include Danish Jersey sires into their mating choices. During this time, revisions were also made to the AJCA Jersey Performance Index (JPI) formula to put more emphasis on cheese yield, health and longevity traits. It was a natural and logical decision for the family to begin using high component Danish sires in their breeding program to benefit them in their milk market. “The Seals family was a pioneer in carefully utilizing some of the best Danish bulls that had semen imported into the U.S.,” said Richard Smith. “In particular, their use of ISDK Q Impuls, GJPI +169,

early in his availability has made quite an impact.” In December 2011, an “Impuls” son bred by the Seals family, Sun Valley Impuls Jupiter, GJPI +204, was the breed’s #1 daughter-proven sire for JPI, based on 41 daughters in 17 herds. After the April 2013 genetic summaries, “Jupiter” has more than doubled the number of daughters and herds in his proof and ranks sixth in the breed for JPI and is one of the Top 10 bulls in the breed for protein (+55) yield and for fluid merit dollars (+$448). He also ranks among the Top 10 Active A.I. sires for both Rear Udder Height and Width. “The Sun Valley herd is a marvelous example of breeder herd quality in a sound commercial environment,” said Richard Smith, ABS Jersey Sire Analyst in a letter of support. “I have told many people, to best understand the quality of this herd; one should visit as the herd is going into the holding pen and observe the parade of consistently high-quality Jersey cows.” This sentiment is demonstrated in their type appraisal breakdown and production information. The herd has a 2012 AJCA lactation average of 18,092 lbs. milk, 896 lbs. fat and 691 lbs. protein on 415 lactations. The 496 appraised cows in the herd have an average score of 83%, with 37 Excellent cows, 355 Very Good cows and 102 Desirable cows. Throughout the years, the Seals family has bred more than 300 Excellent cows. The herd currently ranks 46th in the breed for GJPI with an April average of +76 GJPI on 543 cows (23% of the herd in the total is genotyped). The REAP herd currently has 44 cows ranked among the top 1.5% of the breed for GJPI, including Sun Valley Jupiter Cindy, Very Good-84%, ranking 24th in the breed at +220 GJPI. Four more Sun Valley bred cows rank among the Top 200 of the breed for genomic JPI. Developing cow families has long been a focus of the Sun Valley management team. The dam of “Jupiter,” Sun Valley Hallmark Jersey, Excellent-92%, is a prime example of this philosophy. This family spans 10 generations bred at Sun Valley, all hailing from Basil Standard Terrie, Excellent-92%, who was purchased in 1966 at nearly (continued to page 22)

DISTINGUISHED SERVICE AWARD

James Ahlem

ames Ahlem, Hilmar, Calif., will be honored as the 63 rd recipient of the Distinguished Service Award presented by the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA). The Distinguished Service Award is presented by the Board of Directors to as many living AJCA members and/or members’ families, who, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, have rendered outstanding and unselfish service for many years and thereby made a notable contribution to the advancement of the Jersey breed in the United States. Formal presentation of the award will be made on June 28 at the Jersey Breeders’ Banquet held during the 2013 Annual Meetings of the AJCA and National All-Jersey Inc. (NAJ) in Amarillo, Texas. Letters of support from across the country poured in to highlight the many service accomplishments of Jim Ahlem, but the most common praise was for his commitment to his family and their dairy ambitions. It is a great achievement to grow businesses that help serve an industry but it is an even greater accomplishment to grow a family that is equally passionate about such endeavors. That is exactly what Jim Ahlem has done. “Jim’s dedication to his family is such a great inspiration to the Jersey family both near and far,” said Herby Lutz, Her-Man Jerseys, Chester, S.C., “The Ahlem family will continue to provide support to the AJCA through future leaders of the Jersey breed that have been inspired by the honesty, integrity, and values that Jim and Carol have instilled in their children,” All three Ahlem children are involved in the agricultural industry, a testament to the passion infused in them. The oldest Ahlem son, Grant, serves as manager of James Ahlem Dairy, while their younger son, Vance, manages Ahlem Foothills Dairy in nearby Denair. The couple’s daughter, Erin Mendes, works for the Fresno Medera Farm Credit Association. Both Vance and Grant have been named Outstanding Young Jersey Breeders by the California Jersey Cattle Association and the AJCA, proving good cows and great leadership are both developed at the Ahlem Farms. “Jim has been recognized previously by the American Jersey Cattle Association as a Young Jersey Breeder and has had the great privilege to see both his sons receive this may 2013

honor as they become more involved in the success of the AJCA in the future,” wrote Lutz. “I have had the privilege of knowing Jim from my time as a youth in Jersey activities and he always had time to visit and lend a supporting comment to what young people were trying to accomplish.” As committed to his family as Jim is, he is also very committed to the Jersey breed, relentlessly searching for ways to grow and improve the breed. Benny Rector, President of the California Jersey Cattle Association, credits Jim’s use of AJCA programs to help develop opportunities for his family. “Jim has effectively utilized the AJCAs breed improvement programs, enabling him to grow his herd and expand, paving the way for his sons Grant and Vance to own and operate Foothill Jerseys,” Rector wrote. Jim’s leadership begins at his home farms and extends out to Hilmar community and the national dairy industry. Jim and Carol Ahlem own and operate James Ahlem Dairy in Hilmar. They milk 2,800 Registered Jerseys on the family dairy that began in the early 1930s by Jim’s father and then passed to Jim’s management in 1978. James Ahlem Dairy has a 2012 AJCA lactation average of 23,693 lbs. milk, 1,107 lbs. fat, and 846 lbs. protein on 2,051 lactations, which ranks the herd second

for protein and milk and first for fat nationally among herds with more than 750 records. In addition to an excellent herd average, this herd delivers excellent genomics with 105 animals ranked on the Top 1.5% GJPI list, 12 animals on the Top 1.5% traditional JPI list and 10 heifers on the Top 500 JPI list. The herd also boasts 22 Hall of Fame Lactations and 33 Honor Roll Lactations, both from the first quarter of 2013. “Jim’s participation and leadership in Jersey related clubs, organizations, companies and corporations has had a tremendous impact that has benefitted our breed and association,” wrote Richard Clauss, former AJCA President and owner of Hilmar Cheese, Clauss Dairy, Hilmar, Calif., in a letter of support. Not only has Jim helped pave the way for future generations of the Ahlem family, he has also helped develop a specialized market for Jersey breeders in California. Jim is a founder and owner of the Hilmar Cheese Company, the largest single-site cheesemaking operation in the world. Hilmar Cheese Company has created great opportunities for Jersey breeders in both Hilmar, and most recently, an expansion cheese plant in Dalhart, Texas. These businesses have created jobs and a market that promotes the high components of Jersey milk, advancing the breed beyond the Hilmar community. “As one of the founding owners of Hilmar Cheese, Jim has supported the advancement of the Jersey breed by providing a favorable market for Jersey milk from Jersey herds throughout California,” wrote Benny Rector in support of his neighbor. Jim served on the NAJ board for 10 years, and was president of the organization for eight years. During his tenure the Jersey breed saw record years for registrations and sales. As president of NAJ, he was able to influence the course of marketing for the breed. “Jims understanding of the advantages of Jersey milk and his marketing skills have made him a valuable asset to NAJ and the AJCA,” wrote Ted Luther, Lutheridge Farm, Mt. Ulla, N.C., of his time spent with Jim on the NAJ board of directors. “While developing an outstanding herd of his own, Jim has unselfishly promoted Jersey cattle and Jersey milk on state, national and international levels.” (continued to page 25)

AWARD FOR MERITORIOUS SERVICE

Dr. Bob Cropp and Dr. Ed Jesse

r. Bob Cropp and Dr. Ed Jesse, Madison, Wis., have been named the recipients of the Award for Meritorious Service presented by the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) and National All-Jersey Inc. (NAJ). This award is given annually to a living individual(s) who, in the joint opinion of the Boards of Directors of the national Jersey organizations, has made a notable contribution to the advancement of the Jersey breed and the livelihood of Jersey owners in the United States through research, education, development, marketing, or other significant activities of the allied dairy industry. The presentation will be made on June 28 at the Jersey Breeders’ Banquet held during the AJCA-NAJ Annual Meetings in Amarillo, Texas. The work of Dr. Bob Cropp and Dr. Ed Jesse to establish an equitable, marketoriented milk pricing system has bettered the bottom lines of Jersey businesses across the country. The two well-respected dairy economists played a significant role in advancing nationwide acceptance of multiple component pricing (MCP) in the 1980s and getting it adopted in an overwhelming majority of milk markets today. The emeritus professors from the University of Wisconsin (UW) contributed to the livelihood of Jersey producers in three major ways, noted Calvin Covington, who worked closely with the pair when he was general manager for NAJ and then executive secretary for the national Jersey organizations at the time of Federal Order Reform in 2000. “First, both men were early supporters of the need for a more equitable milk pricing system,” stated Covington. “These men were supporters when supporting such a change in milk pricing by university professors was not popular and could be hazardous to one’s career.” “Second, they provided needed expertise in developing the mechanics of how multiple component pricing could work in Federal Milk Marketing Orders (FMMO). “Third, once multiple component pricing gained national acceptance, they did not forget about the subject. When the change was made from total protein to true protein, they helped educate the industry on why such a change was needed.” Though Dr. Cropp and Dr. Jesse worked directly with NAJ on many projects, their

support of the organization’s cause also came from work they did every day as dairy marketing and policy specialists with the UW extension service. Dr. Cropp was a professor with the UW-Platteville from 1966-1990 and then the UW-Madison from 1990-2003. He was dean of the College of Agriculture at UW-Platteville for three years and director of the UW Center for Cooperatives while

at the UW-Madison. Dr. Jesse was an agricultural economist with the USDA for 16 years, working out of offices in Washington D.C., the University of California-Davis and the UW-Madison. He became a professor in the department of agriculture economics at the UW-Madison in 1984 and chaired the department from 1986-1991. Dr. Cropp and Dr. Jesse were among the first in academia to advocate a marketoriented approach to milk pricing in the late 1970s. The pricing structure that had been in place in this country for decades, which paid producers for milk and butterfat on a volume basis, was no longer working for either dairy producers or processors. Shifts in consumer demand meant less milk was being used for fluid milk and more for manufactured dairy products. As well, consumers were shunning whole milk in favor of low-fat and skim milk. The dairy industry was left with a surplus of unmarketable butterfat. It responded by dropping the support price for butterfat. But because Federal Order pricing adjusted pay prices only for butterfat test, dairy producers continued to emphasize it in their feeding and breeding programs. Dairy producers who milked Jerseys or other high-component dairy cows were especially disadvantaged because they were not being compensated for the other, more valuable components, in their milk. The answer, Dr. Cropp and Dr. Jesse reasoned, was multiple component pricing, which would pay producers on the basis of two or more milk components. “MCP can give the proper economic signals to producers to produce the kind of milk components milk plants need to profitably and efficiently provide consumers with the types of dairy products they are demanding and accomplish this in a manner that is equitable to both milk plants and dairy producers,” wrote the pair in a UW-Madison marketing and policy paper on the topic of MCP. “There will be gainers and losers with MCP, but the industry, as a whole, will benefit by having a pricing system that more closely aligns milk component values with the demand for these components.” Their voices validated the message that was being preached by National All-Jersey, which was working to get MCP adopted in (continued to page 24)

11-years-old. Early on the Sun Valley herd, under Smokey and Joanne’s management ,quickly became a source across the Pacific Northwest for exceptional production genetics, especially in the times prior to the widespread availability of A.I. technician services. “Our family has been breeding Registered Jerseys for more than 60 years and we used to rely on fellow Jerseys breeders whose herds contained the kinds of cows we were aspiring to breed ourselves as the source for bulls to improve our own herd,” wrote H. Ward Nielsen, Hawarden Jerseys Inc., Weston, Idaho. “One of the herds we have long respected and admired is the Sun Valley herd.” Smokey and Joanne and their family have had 47 bulls enter A.I. with the Sun Valley prefix and another 21 bulls out of Sun Valley bred dams that have been chosen for sampling programs. Smokey has not only been an integral part of the management team at Sun Valley, but he has also served the dairy industry in numerous leadership positions. He served two terms on the AJCA Board of Directors and the AJCA Research Foundation Advisory Committee. He was a chair of the 1980 National Heifer Sale, a lifetime member of National Dairy Shrine, and is currently serving on the board of directors for Tillamook Cheese. He is in his third term on the county Farm Service Agency committee and is the current chair of the group. “Smokey and Joanne have instilled the commitment of breeding good Jerseys in their three sons,” wrote Patrick Gourley, vice president of the Oregon Jersey Cattle Association in a letter of support. “They have had an exceptional focus and commitment and it is being carried on in the next generations.” In 1991, Jeff purchased Sooner DG Dee in the Pot O’Gold Sale, today her granddaughter is the dam of Sun Valley Lirsk Diesel at Semex. In 2002, Tom and his wife Jennie, purchased Scotch View Fair Halo in the National Heifer Sale and she has several sons and grandsons in A.I. sampling programs today. Son, Dave and his wife Kim bred Sun Valley Thunder Windstorm 774, 100JE7160, from a cow David purchased in 1979 as a Jersey youth. “If we choose to measure the quality of a herd from the bottom up, then this is certainly one of the very best home-bred herds in America,” concluded Smith. “As is so often the case, the quality of the Sun Valley herd reflects the character of the Seals family, and Bearl Seals is a humble Page 22

FMMOs. “Dr. Cropp and Dr. Jesse put their support on paper by publishing needed papers (I have at least seven) on the subject,” stated Covington. “Published papers supporting multiple component pricing of milk, written by respected and well-known professors from a major university, did much in making equitable milk pricing a reality.” The new pricing idea gained momentum in dairy industry circles with the publication of an editorial in the Hoard’s Dairyman (October 10, 1988) that addressed the need for protein pricing and heralded Dr. Cropp and Dr. Jesse’s stance on component pricing in Federal Orders. On the processing side, component pricing was also beginning to take hold. In an article written for the UW Dairy Pipeline and reprinted in the October 1991 issue of the Equity Newsletter, Dr. Cropp noted, “This style of milk is slowly replacing the longstanding practice of adjusting prices only for the butterfat content of milk. USDA dairy market statistics indicate that today as much as 80% of the U.S. milk supply is marketed to buyers who offer some form of MCP.” The article came on the heels of the Great Basin FMMO adopting MCP in 1988, the first Federal Order to do so, and the 1990 Farm Bill, which instructed USDA to invite multiple component pricing proposals in all markets regulated by Federal Orders.

Among the projects Dr. Cropp, Dr. Jesse and NAJ worked most closely was the proposal to get MCP adopted in the five Midwest FMMOs. Combined, they represented 25% of all Federal Order milk. “Many years ago, on a cold and snowy day in Madison, Dr. Jesse spent time with us developing the formulas that laid the foundation for implementing multiple component pricing in the order system— formulas that are still being used today,” recalled Covington. The initial proposal was filed by NAJ at a public hearing in January 1994 with support from four major cooperatives in the area. Nine months later, USDA recommended an MCP plan patterned after the proposal presented by NAJ, with formulas created by Dr. Jesse. Other Federal Orders began to adopt MCP as well and by 1996, milk priced under component pricing reached 53%. The 1996 Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act set the stage for Federal Order Reform in 2000, in which seven of the 11 new consolidated Federal Orders priced milk under MCP. “When multiple component pricing was made a part of Federal Order reform, Dr. Cropp and Dr. Jesse again were out in front explaining the purpose and benefits of the change,” noted Covington. One of the most significant changes in USDA’s final rule on Federal Order Reform was the use of true protein rather than crude or total protein, which had previously been estimated based on the nitrogen content in

milk. In a UW policy briefing paper, Dr. Cropp explained that the change would impact dairy producers at the grass roots level in two ways: the value of each component would be determined independently and testing for protein would be direct rather than estimated. Today, 87% of milk sold in regulated markets is priced using MCP. The effort to adopt this equitable form of milk pricing came about with the work of many hands, including those of Dr. Cropp and Dr. Jesse. “The dairy industry is fortunate to have Dr. Cropp and Dr. Jesse, two practical, hard-working, proficient, and respected dairy economists,” commented Covington. “The Jersey breed and association are even more fortunate. Their efforts in improving the nation’s milk pricing system not only (benefitted) the Jersey breed, but the entire industry.”

Jim’s commitment to the Jersey breed has also been well-served through his several other industry commitments. He is currently treasurer for the California Milk Advisory Board, vice chair of the export/ingredients committee of Dairy Management Inc. (DMI), an owner of Jerseyland Sires Inc., and a member of the National Dairy Promotion and Research Board, which is an appointment from Secretary of Agriculture Vilsack. “As a trustee of farmers across the nation, Jim always considers what is best from a national perspective and does not let local politics influence his role,” wrote Paul Rovey, Rovey Jerseys, Glendale, Ariz., and Tom Gallagher of DMI in a joint letter of support. “He brings insights to the table from other organizations in which he’s involved and this leads to more thoughtful and informed decisions by the DMI board.” Jim has long been a leader in the dairy industry, always looking for opportunities to innovate and improve his farm. Originally, the Ahlem’s milked in a 12-stall flat barn, which ended up being a 14-stall barn by the time they were finished building their new parlor—a 40-cow carrousel parlor that floats on water. In late 1995, Jim made a trip to New Zealand with his brother to look at milking parlors. Jim did not have any desire to purchase a parlor at that time, but he was quickly impressed with the ease of the floating carrousel milking parlor he saw and the fact that there were no moving parts. He was so impressed he decided to build the first rotary parlor in the Hilmar area. He ordered the parlor materials, including spare replacement parts for which he has yet to use.

may 2013

Furthering opportunities for their family, the Ahlems purchased a second dairy in 2009—Ahlem Foothills Dairy—18 miles east of Hilmar in Denair, where they milk 2,200 Jerseys. This second operation, a partnership between Jim, Carol, Grant and Vance, has a 2012 AJCA lactation average of 20,166 lbs. milk, 1,013 lbs. fat, and 733 lbs. protein on 1,860 lactations. The herd has 47 animals ranked on the Top 1.5% list for GJPI, two additional animals on the Top 1.5% list for traditional JPI, and two heifers that rank on the Top 500 JPI list. The first quarter of 2013 saw 10 animals named to the Honor Roll Lactation and Hall of Fame Lactation lists. All of these are impressive feats for a dairy that has been milking Registered Jerseys for less than five years. In his local community Jim is involved in a number of organizations that are not exclusive to the dairy industry, but provide an even greater opportunity for him to promote the dairy industry. He is a 27year member of the Hilmar Volunteer Fire Department, serving three years as chief and three years as assistant chief. He is a director of Emanuel Medical Center and on the advisory board of Hospice of Emanuel. Jim is also an active member of the Hilmar Covenant Church, serving as trustee for 10 years, church chairman for three years and vice chair for a year. “Jim embraces service as an important part of his life and for this we respectfully and whole heartedly recommend Jim for this honor,” wrote Rovey and Gallagher. Jim Ahlem exemplifies the many qualities of the AJCA Distinguished Service Award. His service has helped create prosperous dairies, a specific market that recognizes the value of the Jersey cow, and a family that shares his great passion, inspiring them to represent the Jersey and

dairy industry just as gracefully. Distinguished Service Awards 1954 W. W. Trout, Springfield, Ohio* 1955 Harold J. Turner, Bethel, Vt.* 1956 Judge Peter J. Shields, Sacramento, Calif.* 1957 R. C.

YOUNG JERSEY BREEDER AWARDS

Five Young Jersey Breeders to Be Honored

he AJCA Board of Directors has named three recipients of the Young Jersey Breeder Award for 2012. They are Stacey Atherton, Newark, Ohio; Joe Blankenship, Sugar Grove, Va.; Sandra and Rebecca Ferry, Johnstown, N.Y.; Brian Moore, Mt. Ulla, N.C.; and Bradley and Carla Taylor, Booneville, Miss. The first Young Jersey Breeder Awards were presented in 1976. Since then, more than 250 producers have received this award, including this year’s recipients. The Young Jersey Breeder Award is presented to individuals or couples younger than the age of 40 on January 1 of the year nominated who merit recognition for their expertise in dairy farming, breeding Jersey cattle, participation in American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) and National All-Jersey Inc. (NAJ) programs, and leadership in Jersey and other dairy and agriculture organizations. The 2013 honorees will receive their awards during the Young Jersey Breeders Banquet on Wednesday, June 29, at 12:00 p.m.

Stacey Atherton Stacey Atherton, Shipley Farms, Newark, Ohio, has quickly become known for her advocacy of the Jersey cow, dairy industry and animal agriculture as a whole in the state of Ohio. Her success begins at home, where she is a co-owner of Shipley Farms along with her father, Tim Shipley, grandfather, Phil Shipley, and uncle, David Shipley. In 2009, Stacey purchased a quarter of the farm from each of the three partners, making her a third generation owner. Stacey and her husband, Brad, added to the generations of the family in 2011 when they welcomed their son, Charlie. The multi-family farm now includes 407 cows and 428 heifers, 2,600 acres of corn, soybeans, wheat and alfalfa. Stacey is well versed in the many segments of the agricultural industry as her husband farms 1,000 acres of grain in partnership with his grandfather, and operates two feederto-finish hog barns, feeding 4,800 hogs at a time. Of those 407 dairy cows at the Shipley dairy, 72 of them are Registered Jerseys, and the true passion of this young Jersey breeder. Stacey has long been interested in Jerseys, adding her first of the brown cows to the farm in 1996 at age 12 and has been the driving force behind Shipley Page 26

Farms transitioning to a partial Jersey herd. Stacey’s excitement for the Jersey breed has helped drive the success seen in her 72-cow Jersey herd. Based on the achievements of the Registered Jerseys, Shipley Farms will soon be converting one of their existing heifer barns into a 120-stall freestall barn for the Jerseys, almost doubling the farm’s Jersey capacity. Furthering her commitment to the Jersey breed, Stacey is also a former First Alternate National Jersey Queen. After the farm transitioned to threetime daily milkings, Stacey saw the Jersey production numbers fail in comparison to the gains made by the Holsteins in the herd. With help from her nutritionist, Stacey decided to move the Jerseys into a separate pen so they could be fed a higher starch diet. The results have been profound, after gains of 5-8 lbs. milk daily in the REAP herd, Stacey and the herd nutritionist have found the Jerseys make $0.55-0.60 per cow more per day than the Holsteins, based on current feed costs and the value of the milk. The Jerseys have a December 2012 rolling herd average of 19,576—958—700 on 73 cows. The success Stacey has seen on her farm is only one of the ongoing success stories she is writing. Stacey is fiercely passionate about the agriculture industry and how she can help develop open communication between producers and consumers. Shipley Farms regularly welcomes students from a local university, from an environmental sciences class, and a farmscapes photography class, serving as the only conventional farm the students generally visit, compared to the smaller organic farms featured in the classes. Stacey looks forward to her interactions with the students, hoping the conversations they have will make a difference in the trust

Joe Blankenship, Sugar Grove Jerseys, Sugar Grove, Va., is a seasoned professional in the dairy industry, having spent time working with various segments of the industry. Although Jerseys were not part of the original equation, Joe has not only transitioned to an all Registered Jersey herd, but is a part of the ownership team behind Duchess Dairy in Rural Retreat, Va. “Our nominee was a capable young dairy farmer whose goal in life was to continue his family’s farming tradition after completing his college degree, including dairying with Holsteins—and then he was introduced to Jerseys, a life-changing experience for him, as it has been for others,” wrote Joe Lineweaver, Ph.D., in a letter of support of the young Jersey breeder. Sugar Grove Jerseys has been a part of the Blankenship family for several generations and has been milking cows since the 1950’s. Joe attended East Tennessee State University, returning home to farm after graduating in 2004. At the time, the farm was home to 80 Holsteins and was making room to add 30 more of the black and white cows. After a visit to Jim Huffard’s farm in Crockett, Va., Joe became immediately interested in Jerseys, initially purchasing eight before convincing his uncle and grandfather to fill the empty barn spots with Jerseys. After a few months, the Blankenship’s were convinced Jerseys were their future, transitioning the herd from black and white to brown. “Joe Blankenship is an example of the kind of energetic young dairy herd owners we are fortunate to be attracting to our breed,” said Kevin Lutz, Treasure Chest Jerseys, Lincolnton, N.C. “He join us, on the encouragement of Jersey breeders in

Hard working, passionate and a willingness to help are all term that were used to describe Sandra and Rebecca Ferry, Dream Road Jerseys, Johnstown, N.Y. This dynamic duo has spent their entire young lives working together to accomplish their dairy goals, persevering through struggles and challenges to ultimately make a difference in the dairy industry. The farm, which is owned by their parents, is currently home to a REAP herd of 81 Registered Jerseys. “I have known these girls all their lives,” wrote Paul Chittenden, former AJCA President, Dutch Hollow Farm, Schodack Landing, N.Y. “Their love for the breed, their work ethic, and their willingness to serve in any way sets them apart from the average.” The Ferry sisters grew up part of the Jersey community, their parents and grandparents both operating dairy farms. The girls were encouraged to take active roles on the farm at young ages and both, with the help of their parents, took to the tanbark at the age of three. As they became older, their show involvement increased, they began taking over responsibilities for their animals increased the amount of shows they attended each show season. With help from other Jersey breeders, the sisters were able to begin showing at the Eastern State Exposition show and then onto The All American Jersey Show in Louisville. During her first shows on the green shavings, Sandy took home production awards in the junior and open shows. “I have had the pleasure to watch them grow from little girls to very successful young women who are having a positive influence on many areas of the dairy industry, as well as a positive influence on my own family,” said Gretchen Taylor, Taylor Made Designs, West Union, Iowa, in a letter of support for the Ferry sisters. Becky also had ambitions to show on the

Brian Moore, Moore Farm Inc., Mt. Ulla, N.C., is a second generation dairy farmer and first generation Jersey breeder—having introduced Jerseys to the family farm in 2003. After attending the Dixie Invitational and Southeast Heifer Growers North Sale at a nearby Jersey breeder’s farm, Brian ended up taking home a select few Jersey heifers to add to the few stalls not being occupied by Holsteins at his home farm. He now helps manage the Mt. Ulla farm where he and his wife Jessica live. “Brian has been a vigorous promoter of the Jersey breed and his enthusiasm for Jerseys and quality farming makes him an outstanding candidate for this award,” wrote Shirley LeForge, Secretary, North Carolina Jersey Cattle Association, in a letter of support. “He has been a real asset to our organization.” Despite concerns the Jerseys would not be able to compete with the twice as large Holsteins, he found the brown cows flourished among the black and white cows. While there were several learning curves early on when it came to calf care, it did not affect the herd long as the Jersey herd continues to grow. The Moore herd is now home to more than 60 Registered Jerseys enrolled in REAP and 70 Holsteins, but the latter continues to decline every year as the Jerseys are outlasting and reproducing at a quicker rate. The changes continued as they later began milking three times a day and Brian began intensively managing the herd by incorporating new practices and fine-tuning the ones already in place. “Improving the genetics of his herd is vitally important to Brian,” said Ted Luther,

Not only did the Jersey cow help bring together Bradley and Carla Taylor, Taylor Jersey Farm Inc., Booneville, Miss., it helped them build their lives together as dairy professionals. The couple currently owns and operates Taylor Jersey Farm Inc., a fully Registered all-Jersey herd where Bradley was raised. After attending Mississippi State University to obtain a Bachelor’s degree, Bradley returned home to Booneville to take his place on the farm. With his parents still active on the farm, he had the chance to work off the farm and joined the crew of Jersey Marketing Service at the Deep South Sale. He eventually began adding a few more sales in the region, including The All American Jersey Show in Louisville, Ky. It was there he met Carla Coburn, a then area representative for the AJCA. The couple married in 2005, causing Carla, a graduate of Virginia Tech, to fully convert from her previous Holstein roots. Today, she continues to be amazed by the attributes of the Jersey cow. The couple is now raising three sons, in addition to the 190 Registered Jerseys on the farm. “The recipients of this prestigious award must have a strong work ethic, love and respect for the Jersey cow and the tenacity to make the dairy business a career,” wrote Glen Easter, Eastglen Farm, Laurens, S.C., in a letter of nomination for the young couple. “Bradley and Carla Taylor surely personify these characteristics while also raising three young active boys and the responsibilities that go with that.” Bradley and Carla are proponents of not just the Jersey cow, but the value behind the many programs of the AJCA. They strongly encourage registering animals and investing in Equity, the AJCC Research Foundation, Jersey Youth Academy and are contract

these consumers put into the agricultural and dairy industry. Stacey’s influence extends beyond the couple hours a semester she spends with college students. Her efforts as an agricultural supporter have made a difference for farmers across the Buckeye state. In 2010, She was appointed by Ohio’s Governor Strickland to serve on the Ohio Livestock Care Standards Board (OLCSB), a group dedicated to establishing the guiding principles for how Ohio farm practices are conducted. For a year she spent four to six hours every other week holding meetings with the other members of this panel to draft the guidelines, later taking part in public hearings and even a meeting that was attended by the CEO of The Humane Society of the United States, Wayne Pacelle. The board dealt with tremendous public controversy as they drafted a 53 page document stating laws for how Ohio livestock must be cared for, which is under constant revision to stay current with the needs of farmers. Her ability to effectively communicate with the public has made her a valuable source for Columbus television stations whenever a dairy-related story breaks. “Stacey’s continued involvement and

leadership in dairy and agriculture circles is truly remarkable and amazing for a person less than 30 years of age,” wrote Bernard M. Heisner, General Manager, COBA/Select Sires. “Stacey has earned the respect of many for the time, effort and far-reaching decisions and rule-making she has been involved with on the OLCSB.” Stacey is also committed to helping the dairy programs of her Alma Matta, the Ohio State University. Since 2007, she has served as chair of the Ohio Spring Dairy Expo’s silent auction committee, and regularly contributes high quality Jerseys to the sale. This included the second high seller in 2011, Shipley Impuls Vanity III, and a daughter of “Vanity” that topped the 2013 sale. “As an industry leader, I am impressed with Stacey’s ability to engage at the state level within the dairy industry,” shared Scott E. Higgins, CEO of the Ohio Dairy Producers Association. “At a time when dairy cattle care and handling practices were being called into question by animals rights activists, Stacey was willing to step up and participate in the Ohio Dairy Producers Association committee assigned with the task of identifying and writing care and handling standards to reflect the expectations of dairy farmers for input into the National Animal Well Being Initiative.” Stacey is a graduate of the sixth class

his area, because he found milking Jerseys instead of Holsteins to be a profitable decision for his family’s dairy operation.” Joe was so encouraged by the results he saw from the quality milk animals he first purchased, he decided to start investing in genetically-elite Registered Jerseys to build cow families of his own and capitalize on potential merchandizing. One of his first purchases was Forest Glen Avery Addie-ET, Very Good-87%. “Addie” added to the base of the Sugar Grove herd after being successfully flushed, which resulted in two of her sons being sent to A.I., a daughter selling in the 2010 All American Sale, and another daughter producing a son that will be released as a genomic young sire in 2013. “Under the mentoring of experienced Jersey breeders in his area, Joe began his involvement with Jerseys by making a few strategic purchases of females worthy to

build cow families within his herd,” said Herby Lutz, Her-Man Jerseys, Chester, S.C. “Joe has also teamed up with fellow Jersey breeders to form syndicates that have purchased genetically superior females, from which cow families in the herd can be developed, accompanied by genetic merchandising opportunities that emerge.” Those partnerships have provided even greater opportunity for Joe to diversify his dairy portfolio and business opportunities. Through the syndicate, Power Forward, Joe purchased Boyd-Lee Matinee HabaneroET in the 2008 National Heifer Sale. Later he sold her first bull calf, PF Lennox Hendrix, to A.I., and developed “Habanero” into the 12th-ranked cow on the AJCA JPI cow index that same year. In impressive feat for someone who had been involved with the Jersey breed for a few short years. “Joe’s enthusiasm for good cows encouraged several other folks, some his age and others a generation older, to join with him in the formation of several “syndicate” groups to invest in high quality Jersey genetics and explore opportunities for genetic merchandising of the progeny of these animals,” wrote Lee Cronise, Secretary of the Virginia Jersey Breeders, in his letter of nomination. Another merchandising opportunity Joe has taken advantage of is the Duchess Dairy operation. In 2010 he joined forces with his uncle and John and Jim Huffard to buy a small milk processing plant. The plant is now up to 4,000 gallons of milk being processed each week, all of which is marketed with the All-Jersey Queen of Quality® label, and supplied from their Jersey herds. The plant has even transitioned from free “family labor” to a full-time plant manager, a full-time route manager and two additional part-time employees. “Further proof of Joe’s business focus in the operation of his dairy farm is his investment, with his uncle and the Huffard brother, in the ownership and operation of duchess Dairy,” wrote Herby Lutz. “Joe is one of those dynamic young dairy farm owners and operators who have joined the ranks of Jersey breeders because Jersey cows are profitable to own, and he is already contributing to the further positive development of the Jersey breed by his breeding program focus and his profitable dairy operation.” With an acquired passion for the Jersey breed, Joe has helped create numerous business opportunities for himself and his family, all while being a testament to the value dairy producers can find in the Jersey industry.

no means did this inhibit Becky from her goal, the next year, to the day, she showed a calf in The All American Junior Show and placed fourth. This particular calf, Cowbell Royal Cassidy, was eventually named Grand Champion at the New York State Spring Show and the New York State Fair. “Cassidy” was the first animal from Dreamroad Jerseys to compete in the National Jersey Jug Futurity and the World Dairy Expo and was the first Excellent cow on the farm. Sandy also exhibited an animal at World Dairy Expo that same year, Dreamroad Remake Keep Guessing, who won the Genetic Merit award in her class.

These two animals performed just as well in the milk tank as on the tanbark, even producing several generations of highproducing cows, becoming an excellent cow family for the Dreamroad herd of Jerseys. “The cows they show look like milk,” said New York Jersey Breeder George Wilson, Scotch View Farms, Stamford, N.Y. in a letter of support. “Their philosophy of ‘we show milk cows’ certainly fits them.” The sisters have also been very active in Jersey activities on the local, state and national level.

served as club officers and eventually New York State Jersey Queens. Sandy always looked forward to leading animals in the ring during area Jersey Marketing Service sales, like the Fabulous 40s and Fantastic 50s sales that were held in N.Y. in the 1990s. In 2002, Becky was named the Jersey National Youth Achievement Award winner and served on The All American Junior Activities Committee. Sandy and Becky attended SUNY Morrisville and Cornell University, both graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Science. Sandy, after serving many years with Cornell Extension, is now the County Executive Director for the Farm Service Agency for six counties in eastern New York. She also leads a regional group of young dairy enthusiasts to help them explore the many different career options available to them in this particular industry. Becky is a farm loan officer for Farm Service Agency, covering five counties in New York. She specializes in finding loans for beginning farmers looking to get started in the agricultural sector. She also works with farmers that have suffered setbacks on their farm, helping them find ways to get back on their feet financially. Dreamroad Jerseys is also a contract

advertiser in the Jersey Journal. Though neither of the sisters are fulltime on the farm, they both serve the agricultural community in great ways through their day jobs, before returning to the farm in their down time to work on making continuous improvements. Their goals for the future of Dreamroad Jerseys is to maintain the current size of 60 milk cows, increasing production, growing the herd internally and selling their extras animals as show projects for area youth. Outside of the milk talk, these two sisters aspire to have more cows win national production awards and eventually exhibit The All American Grand Champion in Louisville, staying consistent with the origins of their passion for the Jersey breed.

Mt. Ulla, N.C. “He purchases select animals in high profile sales such as the National Heifer Sale and The All American Sale, while he also uses embryo transfer, thereby speeding up genetic progress.” Brian has found herd improvements are easier to make with the Jerseys as the milk cows, specifically, breed back quicker than Holsteins, while the heifers calve earlier. He also does not have to spend much time

worrying about cows calving, noting the Jerseys take care of themselves better and have a much more enjoyable personality than their black and white counterparts. The farm operation has also grown, from 700 acres in 1998 to 3,200 acres presently. In addition to the growth the milking herd has seen, the Moore’s are also farming corn, soybeans, wheat and barley, double cropping 1,200 acres of soybeans. They also operate a seed cleaning business and grow North Carolina certified wheat and barley, and also wheat and Roundup Ready soybeans for UniSouth Genetics Inc. “This is a display of his innovative nature because he knew that the incorporation of Jerseys could be a great advantage to their herd even though they were 100% Holstein at the time,” said Scott Lee of Carolina Farm Credit. “Their dairy was climbing to be one of the top producing herds in the state and I credit this to Brian’s involvement and his presence on the family dairy full-time.” The Moore Jersey herd has a December 2012 rolling herd average of 18,910— 870—647 on 68 cows. Last year, the entire herd was bred to young sires, an element that has been steadily increasing each year. “Brian’s participation in AJCA programs such as the REAP program and the Jersey Mating Program have led to his success as a young Jersey dairyman,” said Ted Luther.

In addition to increasing the quality of his herd, Brian and his family were named the North Carolina Conservation Family of the Year for their efforts in conservative tillage in 2002. In addition to his commitment to improving agriculture, Brian serves on the local board of Southern States Cooperative and the board of directors of the North Carolina Jersey Breeders Association, in addition to his service to the board of stewards at Back Creek Presbyterian Church. “I have never failed to be impressed by Brian’s hard work ethic, creativity, desire to help others and the care and passion he shows to those around him and the industry/ organizations he is involved with,” said Scott Lee. “He is the first to arrive and last to leave kind of person and does all with no desire of recognition.”

advertisers in the Jersey Journal. “They utilize all of the associations programs, having been a REAP herd for several years,” said C. Richard Hay, Walthall County Extension Director, Mississippi State. As President of the Mississippi Jersey Cattle Association (MJCA), Hay added “they have bred numerous excellent cows, have several bulls in A.I., and are always looking for ways to help improve our breed.” The couple credits much of their Jersey success to a purchase they made at the 2005 All American Sale. Partnering with Lynn Lee and forming the TJF/Lee Syndicate, the Jersey team purchased Vantage Lemvig Mamme, a cow that made an immediate impact on their herd, producing daughters and granddaughters that are having an equal impact on herds throughout the country. It is also from this purchase that Bradley and Carla saw several homebred bulls go into A.I. service and several daughter resonate high among buyers at various Jersey sales. Bradley and Carla have also taken an interest in genomic testing, which has helped them identify the genetically superior animals in their herd. To date, they have tested more than 20% of their REAP herd, identifying outstanding polled females which allows them more avenues for herd marketability and breed improvement. “Bradley enjoys the art of breeding good cows which is evident in the sales in the past of several high index Jersey animals,” said Herby Lutz, Her-Man Jerseys, Chester, S.C. “I first became acquainted with Bradley when he was elected to the Dixieland Jersey Sires Board which he saw as supporting another AJCA program and at the same time, gaining more genetic knowledge.” This dynamic couple is involved with the dairy industry and several levels, may 2013

including their commitment to the All American Sale Committee. Carla is currently serving as a county chair for the Mississippi Farm Bureau and as a voting delegate for the American Farm Bureau Federation Women’s Annual Meeting. Bradley also spends significant amounts of time volunteering for agricultural organizations, serving on the southeast council for Dairy Farmers of America. Carla serves as Secretary-Treasurer of the MJCA and Bradley is currently the Vice President of the organization. “They are always giving of their time to promote our wonderful Jersey cow, whether

it is through local promotions, assisting with 4-Her’s at livestock shows, hosting events on their farm or showing their cattle at fairs and shows around the south,” wrote C. Richard Hay. As their family and herd continues to grow and develop, Bradley and Carla look forward to instilling the same work ethic and love for the Jersey cow into their children, traits which initially brought them together “With the knowledge that both these young Jersey breeders have, you will hear from them for many years,” wrote Lynn Lee, Smyrna, Tenn.

Cows from the farm have been exported to several different countries, including the pilot program, which sent heifers to China. Jersey genetics have also been exported to Canada and several Central American countries. Recently, three young bulls have been enrolled in young sire programs in A.I. Sorenson has been instrumental in helping others get a start in the Jersey business by consigning to the Wisconsin State Sale and several national sales and marketing cattle privately. He received the AJCA Young Jersey Breeder Award in 1982, the first for Wisconsin. That same year, he and Cheryl were selected as one of the state’s top Young Farm Bureau couples. In 2003, Sorenson was named Senior Breeder by the Wisconsin Jersey Breeders Association. He has served multiple times as president and vice president of the state Jersey organization. He co-chaired the National Heifer Sale in 1987 and again in 2011 when it was an all-donation event for Jersey Youth Academy.

He began dairying on his own in 1979 with 18 Jersey cows and 140 acres of rented land. Twenty years later, the Boks moved the herd to its present location in northwest Ohio. Bok used the Genetic Recovery Program and Jersey Expansion to bring Registered Jerseys into the operation during expansion. As well, the herd was built on quality foundation purchases from may 2013

the National Heifer Sale and several state sales and dispersals. Over the years, many cows from the Bok herd have been ranked for JPI. Most notably, Berrettas Linette, held the top spot for eight consecutive genetic evaluations. With the April 2013 genetic evaluations, two members of the milking string rank among the top 1.5% in the nation for JPI. Wendy and Andy have earned top marks in the Pot O’Gold Production Contest six times with purchases from the youth sale. Bok has sold cattle to Jersey breeders across the country and internationally to Canada, Costa Rica and Mexico.

The family has also consigned animals to leading Jersey sales, including the Buckeye Classic Sale, the Indiana Premier Plus Sale, the Illinois Invitational Sale, the National Heifer Sale and the Pot O’Gold Sale. Bok is a member of the Ohio Jersey Breeders Association, which he served as president, and a delegate for the board of COBA/Select Sires. He is a 4-H club advisor, sits on the 4-H advisory committee and the senior fair board and is in charge of the dairy barn at the fair.

production among herds with 80-149 cows. The dairy also ranks among the top 50 herds in the nation for Jersey Performance Index (JPI) with a herd average JPI of +75 following the April 2013 genetic evaluations. Seven cows rank among the top 1.5% for JPI or Genomic JPI; two heifers are included on the current list of the Top 500 Heifers for GJPI. Cantendo Acres was established in 1974 with the purchase of several Jerseys as 4-H projects for Tom and Rosalie’s three children. The heifers were bred and freshened rather than being sold, so the family began shipping milk and was milking a dozen cows by 1983. That year, they purchased the current farm in Creston and retrofitted the barn with 24 tie stalls. An additional dozen cows were purchased to fill the barn. Facilities were added to support the growing herd over the years and management intensive grazing was adopted. Cheryl came home to manage the herd in 1986, after she graduated from The Ohio State University (OSU) with a degree in dairy science. She and Russell married in 1988 and established a partnership with her parents. The farm was incorporated as a limited liability corporation in 2003. In the breeding program, proven sires and young sires are primarily used along with JerseyMate. Young sires include G-code bulls and young sires made available through programs administered by ABS Global, Genex and Select Sires. More than 60% of the heifers are P-level 7 or higher.

Active A.I. Bulls Ranked By GJPI, April 2013 The 115 Jersey bulls listed are coded as Active A.I. for the April 2013 USDA-AJCA Sire Summary. Bulls have a minimum 70% Reliability and are ranked by genomic Jersey Performance IndexTM (GJPI) which combines production and type trait information into a single economic index. JPI includes six factors: 42% PTA Protein, 15% PTA Fat, 15% FTI, 12% PTA PL, 10% PTA DPR, and 6% PTA SCS. Bulls marked with an asterisk (*) in the G column have genomic evaluations. The nine bulls that are not genomically tested, are listed with their traditionally calculated evaluation. These 115 genotyped bulls average +614M, +41F, +26P; for Lifetime Net Merit, Cheese Merit +$319; Net Merit +$288, and Fluid Merit +$268. Other group averages are Somatic Cell Score, 3.02; Productive NAME OF BULL

REG NUMBER G JHI

Life, +1.9; JUI, +2.33; DPR, 0.0; Final Score, +1.1; and JPI +117. Appraisal Trait Rankings Predicted Transmitting Abilities (PTA) for each of the 15 breakdown traits, final score, and Jersey Udder Index (JUI) are provided on the opposite page. There are six two-way traits among the 15 listed: Foot Angle (low or steep); Rear Legs (posty to sickle); Rump Angle (high to low); Teat Placement (wide to close); Udder Depth (deep to shallow); and Teat Length (long to short). The PTAs for linear traits (with the exception of body depth) are used in the JPI calculation and are weighted by their relative economic value in increasing net income.

Appraisal Traits for Active A.I. Bulls Ranked By GJPI Registry Status Registry status codes PR and GR are an integral part of the AJCA registration name and NAAB short name (males only) for those animals recorded at the Provisional Register (PR) and Genetic Recovery (GR) levels, respectively. When animals are recorded in the AJCA Herd Register, the registry status code of HR is not included in the registration name. In March 2010 the rules of Genetic Recovery were amended allowing selective recording of males whose pedigrees qualify them for registry status as PR and GR, and then for continued recording of their progeny. A male at PR level will only be recorded after parentage GJPI GJPI REL NAME OF BULL 255 246 235 221 218 204 200 193 190 188

Males qualified for GR Registry status and not used for artificial insemination (A.I.) must be parentage qualified by an AJCA-approved method. For bulls used for A.I. purposes, GR registry status will be assigned only after a male is both parentage qualified and genomically tested using approved methods. JH1 Status Animals that have been determined to be carriers (C) or non-carriers (F) of the Jersey Haplotyte 1 are identfied under the JH1 heading on the previous page.

World Dairy Expo Implements New Cattle ID Rules World Dairy Expo (WDE) is introducing changes to their dairy cattle health check-in process. In an effort to strengthen the event biosecurity and in accordance with the new USDA Animal Disease Traceability (ADT) rule, exhibitors bringing cattle to World Dairy Expo will need to have an accepted World Dairy Expo-defined ID tag in the animal’s ear upon entering the grounds. Within this rule change, registration numbers and breed tattoos will no longer be official identification for interstate transport. At the March 4, 2013 WDE Dairy Cattle Exhibitor Committee meeting it was approved to require all cattle, including those from WisPage 68

consin, to meet the same World Dairy Expo health check-in identification standard. The following ID tags will be accepted by World Dairy Expo in 2013 for health check-in: • A Canadian Cattle Identification Agency (CCIA) Radio Frequency Identification Device (RFID) tag – 15 digit number starting with 124 • A USDA 840 Animal Identification Number (AIN) RFID Tag – 15 digit number starting with 840 • A USDA 840 Animal Identification Number (AIN) Visual Tag – 15 digit number starting with 840 • A manufacturer coded tamper evident RFID tag – 15 digit number starting with 900 or greater

NOTE: Manufacturer coded RFID tags will be discontinued as official ID by USDA starting in 2015. It is recommended that U.S. exhibitors with cattle that do not have one of the above 15 digit number accepted ID tags visit with an approved 840 AIN tag distributor to secure 840 AIN RFID tags. All breed associations can provide exhibitors with these 840 AIN ID tags. Dairy cattle exhibitors are encouraged to visit the Dairy Cattle Show page at www. worlddairyexpo.com for complete details and to view a color 2013 WDE Identification Method graphic flyer. Exhibitors may also call the WDE office at 608/224-6455 for further information. JERSEY JOURNAL

Top 75 Polled Females with Genomic Evaluations by GJPI, April 2013 Genomic evaluations are calculated by the Animal Improvement Programs Laboratory from the following information sources, identified in the column labeled GT: 3K, genotype from the lowdensity 3K chip; 6K, genotype from the BovineLD chip; 8K, genotype from GeneSeek Genomic Profiler chip; 50K, genotype from original 50K chip; GI, genotype imputed from genotypes of progeny, but the animal is not genotyped; or GA, evaluation includes information from genotypes or imputed genotypes of ancestors, but the animal is not genotyped.

The top 100 Jersey Polled females—cows and heifers—with genomic evaluations are listed, ranked by their Genomic Jersey Performance Index™ (GJPI). To qualify for this list, cows must (1) have registry status of HR (no prefix), GR or PR; (2) have a genomic genetic evaluation; (3) must have calved within the past 27 months; and (4) not have a termination code associated with the current lactation. Heifers must (1) have registry status of HR or GR, (2) be no older than three years of age on April 1, 2013 and (3) not have a GPTA based on lactation information. Name owner

Bulls which are genotyped have their JH1 status listed follwing their NAAB code. GPTAs replace Parent Average for genotyped bulls. The bull’s Expected Future Inbreeding (EFI) or for genomic‐tested bulls, GFI, is printed to the left of the sire. The letters in the column before GFI, correspond with enrollment in the Genetic Diversity program (G) or the Young Sire Program (Y) of the AJCA.

JERSEY JOURNAL

Top 200 Females with Genomic Evaluations by GJPI, April 2013 Genomic evaluations are calculated from one of three sources of information. The source is identified in the column labeled GT as follows: GT, cow/heifer was genotyped; GI, genotype for cow was imputed from genotypes of progeny, but the cow is not genotyped; and GA, evaluation includes information from genotypes or imputed genotypes of ancestors, but cow/heifer is not genotyped. Jersey haplotype 1 tested carriers or non-carriers are designated in the third column with a C or F.

The top 200 Jersey females—cows and heifers—with genomic evaluations are ranked by Jersey Performance Index™ (GJPI), below. Cows must (1) have registry status of HR (no prefix), GR or PR; (2) have a genomic evaluation; (3) have calved within the past 27 months; and (4) not have a termination code associated with the current lactation. Heifers must (1) have registry status of HR or GR, (2) be no older than three years of age on April 1, 2013, and (3) not have a GPTA based on lactation information. Name owner

As sale and show season gets underway, questions about transfer of ownership are among the most common made to staff at the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA). Even seasoned breeders often wonder whose responsibility it is to file an application for transfer of ownership, which is commonly called a “transfer.” In this month’s Jersey Jargon column, we will revisit the topic of transfers, which are required every time ownership of a registered animal or embryo changes hands. We will explain whose responsibility it is to file the application and why it is important to do so in a timely manner. Who is Responsible for Transfers? Be it a private-treaty sale or a consignment sale, it is the seller’s responsibility to file a transfer of ownership with the AJCA. When someone visits the farm and buys animals or embryos from you, it is your responsibility to make sure the transfer is made so information can be passed to the new owner and progeny registered in their name. With private-treaty sale, this can be accomplished by completing the application on the back of the animal’s registration certificate and sending it to the AJCA. Or the application can be completed online at infoJersey.com. Click on the “animal transfer” option and then either the “manual entry transfer” option if you have all the information you need or the “transfer bin” option if you need to work in multiple sessions. If the registration certificate is unavailable and the seller does not wish to complete the application online, a separate transfer is available by calling the AJCA at 614/322-4459 or emailing kwhite@usjersey.com. Jersey breeders who consign to sales should give the animal’s registration cer-

Page 84

tificate to the sale manager so the transfer can be completed. Sale managers generally handle transfers, though not always if they are not familiar with the terms of transfers. Be sure to check the sale manager’s policy on transfers when you consign your animals and know how the transfer will be handled and paid. Transfer of ownership is often addressed in the terms and conditions published in sale catalogs. Why Transfers Are Important The crux of the Registered Jersey business is permanent identification of all animals, which includes not only a unique identification number and parentage, but ownership information as well. Performance and genetic information on these animals gathered across generations provides a foundation for mating choices that will reduce inbreeding, improve functional type and better production of the next generation. When a transfer is made, the new owner receives a three-generation pedigree with current genetic and performance information for the animal and its sire, dam, paternal grandparents and maternal grandparents. Since this is the heart of your business, you want to make sure buyers have all the tools they need to continue your important work and years of dedicated breeding. As well, new owners cannot register progeny in their names until the transfer has been made. Transfer Fees Transfer fees are based on the performance program enrollment of the herd and the date they are filed. Fees for live animals and embryos are the same. For non-REAP herds, transfer fees are $14 per animal for applications received within 60 days of sale date and $17 per animal thereafter. A discount of $2 per animal applies to transfers completed online at infoJersey.com. For REAP herds, transfer fees are $12 for females if they are received within 60 days of sale date and $15 per animal thereafter.

Male transfers are free if they are received within 60 days of sale date and $3 per animal thereafter. A discount of $2 per animal applies to transfers completed online. Transfers among owners in the same REAP herd that are completed within 60 days of sale date are $2 each. Herds with three years of continuous enrollment on REAP are entitled to transfer fees of $7 per animal when they are completed at the time of a whole-herd dispersal. This applies to dispersals held either through public auction or private treaty. Transfers from one ownership to another member of the immediate family of the prior owner or to form or dissolve a partnership in which the prior owner becomes a partner, or in which a partner or partners succeed as owner, are $2 each provided all living animals in the one ownership are transferred at the same time. An intra-farm transfer of an animal to an AJCA junior member associated with the same herd unit is $7 per animal if transferred within 60 days of sale date. The herd unit is defined as all AJCA ownerships billed to a common account. Canadian Transfers When an international sale is made, the seller needs to make sure the transfer is filed first with the breed registry in the country of origin and then with the registry in the country of export. This requires what is commonly called a double-transfer. For example, a Jersey breeder selling a U.S. animal to a Jersey breeder in Canada must first file a transfer of ownership with the AJCA and then request that one be filed with Jersey Canada. The reverse would apply to Canadian animals purchased by domestic Jersey breeders. This needs to be accomplished in order for progeny to be registered with either the AJCA or Jersey Canada in the new ownership. If a double-transfer is not completed, progeny will be ineligible for registration until ownership has been transferred by each breed registry. More Information For further information on transfer of ownership, visit http://www.usjersey.com/ Programs/regrules.htm. Click on the link “Rule 4: Record of Change of Ownership” to be directed to transfer of ownership rules. Or, call the AJCA at 614/322-4459 or email kwhite@usjersey.com. To file a transfer of ownership application online, log in to info.Jersey.com and then click on the “animal transfer” link and then either the “manual entry transfer” option if you have all the information you need or the “transfer bin” option if you need to work in multiple sessions. JERSEY JOURNAL

Top 200 Cows for Jersey Performance Index (Traditional), April 2013 appraisal information used in the JPI calculation are distinguished by a “0” in the number of type records (REC) column. JPI combines production and type trait information into a single economic index, includes six factors with weighted averages of 42% PTA Protein, 15% PTA Fat, 15% FTI, 12% PTA PL, 10% PTA DPR, and 6% PTA SCS. The cows average +1,280M, +61F, +45P and JPI +184 with average Reliability of 50%. Lifetime Net Merit indexes are Cheese Merit +$477; Net Merit +$444, and Fluid Merit +$425.

The top 200 cows ranked by traditionally calculated Jersey Premformance IndexTM (JPI) from the April 2013 USDA-AJCA genetic evaluations are listed below. These cows have not been genomically tested and do not have a genomic evaluation (GPTA). These cows must have calved within the past 27 months and have at least one lactation of 100 days or more. Cows lacking linear appraisal information are included in the JPI ranking by using a Parent Average estimate for FTI, provided the cow was under four years of age on April 1, 2013.

In Memoriam Anne Elizabeth Perchard Anne Elizabeth (née Billot) Perchard, MBE, of La Ferme Ltd., St. Martin, Jersey, died peacefully at her home, on April 1, 2013, at the age of 81, with her family by her side after a courageous battle against cancer. Anne lived a most eventful and unusually productive life as a breeder and promoter of Jersey cattle and agricultural marketer in the island of Jersey and across the world. Anne was born February 6, 1932. A young girl when Jersey was occupied by the German Army in July of 1940, she started at the Jersey College for Girls as a scholarship student in 1944. She left four years later and worked on the Billot family farm until her marriage to Leslie Perchard. They milked cows on tenanted farms before purchasing La Ferme in 1957, expanding the farming enterprise to grow Jersey Royal potatoes. La Ferme Ltd. was founded in 1980 by Anne and her three eldest sons. Anne Perchard’s service to the Jersey breed began in 1946, when at the age of 14, she was elected first vice-chairman of the Jersey Young Farmers’ Club. Years later she became the first woman director of the Jersey Milk Marketing Board, serving nine years in all. She was twice elected vice president of the Royal Jersey Agricultural and Horticultural Society (RJAHS), which was founded in 1833 and established the first pedigree herd book for the Jersey breed in 1866. In later years, she was instrumental in encouraging the States of Jersey government to allow importation of Jersey bull semen in 2008. When the RJAHS decided to present a superior specimen of the Jersey breed to Queen Elizabeth II on her third visit to Jersey in June of 1978, Ansom Designette, bred by Mrs. Perchard and Family, was selected after a review of more than 1,000 candidates. After three years as Council chairman of the World Jersey Cattle Bureau, Anne was elected President in 1992 and served until the 2002 international conference. She represented the Jersey breed at international and regional conferences, judged shows and promoted the Bureau to Jersey owners in 30 countries. Anne was a master at international diplomacy, getting people and associations to look beyond their differences and focus on working together. In her travels, she sought out the young and beginning farmers to offer them encouragement. The depth of Anne Perchard’s Page 94

scholarship and understanding of the Jersey breed was demonstrated in 1998 when she was invited by the Société Jersiaise to present the seventh Joan Stevens Memorial Lecture. She chose as her topic, “The Jersey Cow and its Importance in our Cultural and Economic Development.” The fascinating and detailed account of the Jersey breed was read on September 13 at the Howard Davis Farm in Trinity. Anne was chairman of the committee that organized 2001: The Year of the Jersey, a celebration of the role Jersey cattle have played in the life and culture of Jersey Island. Its focal event was the unveiling in September that year of a group of Jersey cattle cast in bronze by artist John McKenna, a member of the Royal Society of British Sculptors. They are permanently installed at West’s Centre, St. Helier. In June of 2001, Anne Perchard was named a Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE) by Queen Elizabeth II for her services to Jersey cattle. She was named Lifetime Patron of the World Jersey Cattle Bureau in 2002 in honor of her distinguished service. She was the first woman to be voted Honorary Membership in the American Jersey Cattle Association (2005), and was honored as World Dairy Expo’s International Person of the Year in 2011. Through the La Ferme Open Days, the Perchards invited thousands of Jersey residents to look behind the scenes at the Island’s largest Jersey herd (300 cows) and a farming operation that, as part of the Jersey Royal Company, continues to produce the legendary Jersey Royal (PDO) potatoes. The La Ferme Open Days generated tens of thousands of pounds for charities of special interest to Anne: The Lord Jersey Research Trust Fund (of which she was Chairman), Jersey Mencap, Centrepoint, Wasot-UK, and Hands Around the World, to name a few. The Perchard Family has also generously hosted young people who come to Jersey to participate in the WJCB Youth Exchange Program. Anne was deeply active in community service. She was the first Chairman of the St. Martin’s School Parent Teacher Associ-

ation. She was for many years a Governor of Highlands College with special responsibilities for agricultural and horticultural education at the Philip Mourant Centre. Anne quite simply lived the engaged life. The Thought of the Day on her profile created by the ASHA Foundation captures the essence of this remarkable woman: “If you do first what is necessary, then what is possible, suddenly you will find you are achieving the impossible” (St. Francis of Assisi). Her large, dispersed family came first in her days, and still she made time to be an author, a lecturer and historian, a book reviewer, a community mover-andshaker whose reasoned opinion influenced political decision-making in Jersey, and a signatory to petitions and initiatives whose purpose was to improve the health and welfare of human beings everywhere. In addition to her surviving children Robert, Philip, James, Sarah, and John and their spouses Jo Ann, Niki, Susan and Brodie, Anne Perchard is survived by 16 grandchildren (Thomas and his fiancée Claire, Jennifer, Ruth, Jessica, Matthew, James, Holly, Charles, Philip, Paul, Rebecca, William, Eleanor, Alexander, Victoria and Bramble) and two great-grandchildren, Eden and Olivia. A private family funeral was held April 12, followed by a service of thanksgiving at St. Martin’s Church on April 15. “There are people who are known for the excellence of the pedigreed cattle they breed and develop. There are people who are recognized for what they contribute to their communities, however small or large these spheres of influence may be. There are people who are honored for their business vision, acumen and accomplishments. There are people who are honored for breaking barriers, and by doing so serving as models and mentors to others. Anne Perchard was all of these, and more,” said Neal Smith, Executive Secretary & CEO of the American Jersey Cattle Association.
