Jersey Sisters Profiled The All-American Show in Harrisburg, Pa., recently profiled a Pennsylvania sisterduo that have committed themselves to the dairy industry. Jaylene and Laura Lesher, Bernville, Pa., were born into the dairy industry, but more importantly, are planning to stick with it. Laura, 16, is a junior at Hamburg High School, while Jaylene, 18, is currently attending Penn State Berks, studying animal science with an ag business management minor. She will move to the University Park campus next year, where she can take classes that focus on dairying. Laura plans to attend college before returning to the dairy industry. Jaylene tends to the replacement heifers and calves and assists with field work, while Laura works with the milk cows. At shows, Laura is usually on the halter, as well as feeding and bagging cows, while Jaylene works behind the scenes, washing and fitting. Way-Har Farms spans approximately 250 acres, and the family milks about 100 Ayrshire, Brown Swiss, Holstein, Jersey and Milking Shorthorn cows through a double-six parlor.

What More Can We Do? As all business entities should do from time to time, the directors of National All-Jersey Inc. and the American Jersey Cattle Association are evaluating the current position and objectives of the organizations, targeting goals and longrange planning, and reviewing our mission and service to our customers now and down the road. Since its incorporation in 1957, National All-Jersey has been the most valuable ally of the Jersey cow and Jersey owners. Because of its efforts, most Jersey producers in the United States receive milk check payments based on a form of component or end-product pricing. This market-sensitive system of pricing milk’s most valuable components—protein and fat—increases the worth of Jersey milk and affixes additional dollars to the milk check of producers milking Jersey cows. The hard work of NAJ’s leadership and staff over the years is the main reason Jersey milk is worth more than market-average test milk. That being said, the journey down the long road of equitable milk pricing never ends. We are continually challenged by entities in the market that attempt to erode the true value of Jersey milk and its components. As you would expect and demand, National All-Jersey is on the frontline representing you, its members and your unique milk, and advocating for full and equitable payment. NAJ works diligently for its members whether it is working on dairy provisions as the latest Farm Bill moves through Congress, evaluating current and alternative markets for producer groups and individual producers, helping progressive milk buyers procure Jersey milk, or providing marketing support to our All-Jersey® and Queen of Quality® distributors. It does not stop here. National All-Jersey conducts and/ or funds research to find ways to add even more value to the total Jersey business. As it has throughout much of its 55-year history, NAJ facilitates laboratory testing of Jersey milk products. Fluid Jersey milks—skim, 2% or whole—have more calcium and protein than their retail competition. These compelling facts are vital selling points with consumers and for the Jersey cow. The NAJ-funded research demonstrating the added manufacturing efficiency of Jersey milk, and the improved quality of manufactured products made from Jersey milk is just as relevant today as when it was completed years ago.
october 2012
In recent years, NAJ has funded three studies on the feedlot performance of Jersey steers and how ration forage levels relate to sensory characteristics and consumer ratings of the final product. They identify some challenges, but more importantly opportunities to develop value for the Jersey bull calf. It was National All-Jersey Inc. that funded the Capper & Cady research published in the Journal of Dairy Science this past January. Its big point? All else being equal, a dairy farm’s environmental footprint is smaller per unit of Cheddar cheese when it produces milk for the plant from Jersey cows, rather than Holsteins. The United States today accounts for about 30% of the world’s cheese made from cow’s milk. In 2011, 44% of Federal Order milk was Class III, used to make hard cheeses and cream cheese. The Capper & Cady report must be taken seriously by all segments of the U.S. dairy industry in its quest to balance increased productivity with environmental responsibility. National All-Jersey Inc. works with processors and producers alike to add value to their products and, ultimately, increasing revenue for both. Increased efficiency for the processor by using Jersey milk will bring additional revenue to be shared with the producer yielding a more profitable situation for both. As always, the consumer is the ultimate customer and we, as milk producers, should be responsive to their demands. NAJ is focused in providing guidance throughout the producer-to-consumer milk chain to find ways to increase the demand and value for all involved. These are just of few of the many reasons for the continued existence of National All-Jersey Inc. and its increasing value to its members. One can see the enormous importance of National All-Jersey to all Jersey producers and all “above the average” milk. Our breed is fortunate to be the only one to have an independent business dedicated to ensuring an equitable value for our milk and for the cow that produces such a nutritious and healthy product. So the question is not where would we be today without National All-Jersey Inc., but what more can we do to enhance the future for Jersey milk and our members through National All-Jersey?

A Winning Combination: Family, Champions & Genomics

hether it is planting corn, raising a family, showing a National Grand Champion, or breeding a top bull in A.I., Gregg Sauder is driven to do the best that he can, a trait he has instilled into his family. “You should leave no detail unturned,” said Gregg. “It is the details that make things good.” This is the philosophy followed by River Valley Dairy in Tremont, Ill., where it’s advertised that “Style & Performance are the Standard.” They strive to work with cows that are going to impact the breed, both in the genomic world and the show ring. “We hope to build the culture of the show side and production side working together,” explains Gregg. Getting Started With Jerseys When Gregg and Cindy Sauder decided more than six years ago to enter the dairy business, they had their family in mind. “We wanted to find something that would keep us close and where we could raise our kids and really develop young men and women,” said Gregg. The couple with their seven children, Tim, 26; Nic, 24; Jeni, 21; Ben, 18; Andy, 13; Blessing, 11; and Grace, 8, all share responsibility in their growing Jersey herd. Cindy had grown up on a Holstein farm, while Gregg had always focused on the crop side of agriculture. It was a trip to a Wisconsin sale in 2004 that kicked things in gear for the family. They made two purchases that day, Blackys Ballerina-ET, a daughter of Blacky Rose of Briarcliffs, and a granddaughter of Sunset Canyon MBSB Anthem. “That sale started the journey for us,” said Gregg. “It just seemed to fit our lifestyle and the boys really excelled at it.” In 2006, they bought their current location and moved their family along with nine cows, being milked with a vacuum pump and one milker. Shortly afterwards they made a trip to Fredestel Jerseys in Lester, Iowa, and purchased 50 cows from Mark Metzger and his family. This group included Fredestel Laser P Nelly Bly, Excellent-93%, Junior All American Five-Year-Old in 2010; Junior All American Junior Three-Year-Old and the third place Premier Performance Cow of the All American Jersey Show in 2008. “We went with Jerseys, because looking Page 18
The Sauder Family at River Valley Dairy has become a competitive force in the show ring since their first appearance at The All American in 2007. In January, the family moved their commericial herd into a robotic milking barn and have built a large viewing area for the many tour groups that visit to watch. River Valley is truly a family operation with the entire family involved with responsibilities. Pictured from front left are Ben, Andy, Blessing, and Grace.

in from the outside it looked as though the people were top-notch,” said Gregg. “Once we got into the Jerseys, we just really liked the cows and to us there is no doubt that Jerseys are the breed of the future.” Each of the kids has a role with the management of the farm. Tim works on the financial side of the dairy looking at opportunities for investment, especially with the high-indexing bull mothers. Nic manages the day-to-day farm focusing on the hightype end of the business. Jeni manages the calf barn. Ben works after school in the production barn and is the ‘go-to’ man for the maintenance on the robots. Andy works with the tractors and crops while Blessing and Grace can be found working with their 4-H calves year round. And Cindy does what most moms do, holds it all together and makes sure everyone is on top of what needs done. “Dairying has done everything we hoped it would do,” said Gregg. “It has given our kids the opportunity to mature and learn a lot about life.” “It’s fun to watch and a good feeling when you get up and see your kids already outside working with the cows. That is how it should be,” he continued.
Taking the Show Circuit by Storm “We are passionate about instilling in our family that you can win with hard work and good cows,” said Gregg. “You don’t have to have any tricks in a box. Just run it square and you will be blessed.” And blessed they have been. Since entering the showring on the national level in 2007, they have had numerous All American, Reserve All Americans, Junior and Reserve Junior All Americans. They have been Premier Exhibitor at World Dairy Expo and The All American Jersey Show, exhibited three Supreme Champions in Madison at the Junior Show and in 2011, exhibited the National Grand Champion and Supreme Champion of the North American International Livestock Exposition. In 2009, Ben exhibited Xanadu Champion Kandy Kiss, Excellent-95%, to top honors in the Junior Show at World Dairy Expo. He followed this win up for the next two years with two more cows—Claessic Fields Vindicat Genie, Excellent-93% and South Mountain Voltage Spice-ET, Excellent-93%.

JERSEY JOURNAL
Letter To The Editor I keep saying to myself, I don’t understand! I really don’t. I am a dairy farmer’s wife in Kentucky and we produce a high quality, wholesome product which sells in the stores today for $2.29 a gallon. In 1997, this same gallon of milk sold for an average price of $2.36 in Louisville, Ky., according to a 2000 summary by the Federal Milk Market Administrator. Dairy farmers have no say in those prices—either at the store or the farm. We take the price given to us for our milk. The people who set those prices must think inflation does not affect us. I can promise you when the gas truck rolls in here they do not sell us gas for what the prices were 15 or 20 years ago, neither does the feed company, electric company, veterinarian, or any of the other businesses we deal with. When I go to the grocery store they do not say you are a dairy farmer so you do not have to pay the inflated prices. When the people who set our prices go to buy milk at the grocery they know the price of milk has not gone up with inflation. How do you expect us to stay in business? Does anyone really care? It seems irrational to me that the Federal government sets milk prices to farmers but will not take into consideration what it costs to produce the product. I am sure a car manufacturer does that! They figure metal, labor and even taxes and mark their product up for a profit. Otherwise they would go out of business like most of the dairy farms in our state. We cannot do that! Our prices are set by a system which does not figure in inflation or the cost to produce it. Isn’t the government supposed to represent all the people, not just certain sectors of an industry? Dairy farmers pay taxes too. I see my husband work 16 hour days, no

vacations, no church, no long holidays and he has done this for most of his life. He is nearing retirement age and while others are thinking of slowing down, we are faced with borrowing against sweat equity in order to continue. That is our retirement, but dairy farmers never seem to retire. We are not looking for a hand out. We are asking for those who set the milk prices to also figure in inflation and what it costs to produce our product. Wouldn’t that be the fair way? Some say if you don’t like it get out, but it is nearly impossible to quit at this age. We never gave up hope all those years of low milk prices that someone would see their mistake and fix it, but no one is listening! How many job opportunities are there for a senior citizen? I lost my father last year. He was a dairy farmer and because the prices did not consider inflation or the cost to produce milk, he died without enjoying all he had worked for during his life. All those years he dedicated to making a quality product for a price that is considerably under fair market value, he lived the last part of his life with a small monthly social security check which barely paid for his medicine and insurance. He got up at 4:30 a.m. every morning and was home by eight or nine. He loved what he did, he loved his cows and he was a very proud man; yes, he was a dairy farmer. At the death of my father, my brother took over the operation of the farm. He figured out a way to save the dairy farm which has been in our family since before the depression. He and his family opened an agri-tourism business and they now make ice cream on the farm. Unfortunately they have to take money from that business to support and keep the dairy farm operable. He is managing two full time businesses, up at 4:00 a.m. and on a good day home by 10:00 p.m. Why? Because people who set our prices do not consider the cost of producing milk and do not think inflation has hit our industry.
Although our farm has received some funding through the government subsidy program, it has not been enough to cover one month’s feed bill yet this year. This appears much like other government programs. Since we are not paid accordingly with cost factors for inflation or cost of producing our product, we are subsidized slightly in a veiled attempt to keep us producing while keeping milk the same price it was over 15 years ago. When my husband and I discuss this dilemma of trying to cover farm expenses on a monthly milk check that is several dollars under our expenses we think maybe we are not as efficient as others. But I find that hard to believe. We do not buy anything that we do not absolutely have to have. The cows are well above the state milk production average. We receive premiums because our milk is the highest quality. Even then, this will not cover the cost to produce the milk. My husband certainly cannot work more hours, he is already putting in 15-16 hour days. On a personal note we have extended our deductible on our medical insurance to the maximum and as I stated earlier, do not go on vacations. As I talk with other farmers, I know we are not alone. This is not about inefficiencies; it is about a system that needs to be changed and changed now! I am not asking for a hand out. But I am asking for someone to stand up and acknowledge the way milk is priced in this country is wrong. Inflation has affected dairy farming like everything else and the cost of producing a high quality, wholesome product should be considered in setting the milk price to farmers. We want to be treated fair and I for one am tired of not getting answers. Our state does not produce enough milk for our residents and instead of getting premium prices (price and demand) for our milk like the gas companies; we lose $1.50 to $1.75 per hundred pounds of milk to have milk shipped into our state. There has to be someone, somewhere who can help! I hope and pray you can because if not, eventually there will be more farm families going under and losing all those years of equity they have for pennies on the dollar. I am writing this letter hopefully to help those who aren’t as fortunate as us. How many more dairy farm families will go under before someone takes notice and action? How many more dairy farmers will we lose to suicide because the thought of losing their farms, many family farms is just too depressing? Unfortunately, I know a dairy farm family that had to endure this type of tragedy too close to home. Sincerely, Ann Chaney Kalmey, Shelbyville, Ky.

Genomic Animals Pace 13th Combination Sale As Executive Secretary Neal Smith took the microphone to begin a full-day of sales at Bush River Jerseys in Newberry, S.C., he asked those in the audience to take a moment to remember Dr. J.J. Malnati. In tradition of the late Jersey breeder’s motto of choosing top animals to consign and “letting the good ones go,” Malnati was honored both through the brief silence, and continued excellence of Registered Jerseys being offered.

Updated Information on Arethusa Action Verb-ET
Through genotyping, it was recently discovered that Arethusa Action Verb-ET, 94JE3750, was inadvertently interchanged with his full brother, Arethusa Action Venture-ET, when he was transported from the home farm to ABS St. Jacobs A.I. company. The American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA), ABS St. Jacobs, AIPL and breeders, Arethusa Dairy, have worked together and agreed upon the following solution. AIPL and the AJCA will switch the genotypes in their records to the correct bulls. The August genomic information (GPTA) for “Verb” is: 69%REL -547M, 0.19%F, +8F, 0.08%P, -4P; +157CM$; +107NM$; +62FM$; +1.2PL, +1.6DPR and +3.01SCS; +0.9 Type at 65%REL and GJPI +29. This will give accurate data on each bull and their offspring for future genetic testing of daughters and genetic evaluations.

JERSEY JOURNAL
You will not have to travel in Jersey circles long before you hear the term “equity” or read it in print. So, what does equity mean to the Jersey world? Technically, Equity is a service mark of National All-Jersey Inc. (NAJ) for services and activities that support equitable pricing of producer milk. The effort has been continuously carried out by NAJ and the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) since 1976. Jersey breeders fund the efforts for fair milk pricing by contributing to Project Equity. Contributions are made directly or through fees for REAP. In this month’s Jersey Jargon column, we will take a brief look at the history of Equity and learn how Equity dollars are being used today. How Long Has Equity Been Around? The AJCA has a long history with milk marketing and is currently the only domestic dairy breed to include a milk marketing arm under the umbrella of its national organization. It began with the establishment of the Jersey Creamline milk program in 1927 and then the incorporation of National All-Jersey in 1957. When Jersey breeders saw a need to rally efforts to get component-based milk pricing and higher minimum standards across the country, Project Equity was born. The resolution that the AJCC (predecessor of AJCA) and NAJ boards passed to establish Project Equity in March 1976 read: “Be it resolved: That The American Jersey Cattle Club and National All-Jersey Inc. through their members and staff undertake a nationwide project which has as its aim the establishment of an equitable pricing system for milk in the USA. A further aim of the project would be to develop specialized markets (e.g. cheese plants, etc.) which sellers of higher than average protein test regardless of breed could be financially awarded for their product in relationship to its yield of finished product.” “Be it further resolved: “That funds to establish and maintain this project would be generated from a voluntary check-off of 2 cents per cwt. on all milk shipped by the participating dairymen. These funds would be expended through the AJCC and NAJ to accomplish the aims and goals of this project.” Page 34
From its inception through August 2012, more than $10 million has been contributed to Project Equity. Participation has risen dramatically in recent years, thanks in part to record enrollment in REAP, the AJCA’s core service package that bundles registration, Equity contributions, appraisal (type information) and performance (production records) into a single package. Equity membership reached a record high of 1,135 in 2008. NAJ members invested a record $705,966 for Project Equity in 2011. How are Equity Dollars Used? Equity contributions are used to fund the mission of NAJ in six different areas: market development; milk price regulation; information and education; policy issues; research; and industry relations. Market Development: Creating and servicing markets that provide fair compensation for the superior nutritional content of Jersey milk has always had precedence. Today, NAJ promotes Multiple Component Pricing (MCP) to dairy product manufacturers, especially cheese makers. MCP payments to producers can be based on pounds of protein, pounds of butterfat, end product pricing, protein premiums or protein differentials. All are market-oriented pricing systems, to varying degrees, and benefit both manufacturers and producers. NAJ also has a fluid milk program called All-Jersey®. This premium brand name was the primary marketing program for high-solids Jersey milk until the mid-1970s and is experiencing growth resurgence today. All-Jersey distributors are entitled to use any of the All-Jersey and Queen of Quality® marks. NAJ also works with members on individual marketing projects, such as fluid milk processing or cheese manufacturing. NAJ has also provided professional referrals, financial analysis and marketing assistance. Milk Price Regulation: Milk is among the most strictly regulated agricultural commodities in this country. NAJ represents the interests and concerns of Jersey producers in this complicated arena. NAJ’s most significant endeavor has been to promote adoption of MCP in all Federal Milk Marketing Orders and state-regulated pricing systems. Though component pricing now covers 90% of all regulated milk pricing, NAJ is working to expand it to 100% of the milk market. As part of that goal, NAJ continues its efforts to improve the quality of fluid milk sold
at retail by advocating for higher protein and solids-not-fat standards for fluid milk products. Information and Education: NAJ holds an extensive resource library on Jersey milk, MCP and fluid milk standards and is known worldwide as the clearinghouse for information on these topics. The organization publishes a weekly market email/fax report (Weekly Market Update) and a monthly newsletter (Equity Newsletter) about milk marketing conditions. NAJ staff members also attend a full schedule of local, state, national and international dairy meetings throughout the year. Policy Issues: From the Farm Bill to import quotas, governmental policies impact the dairy industry—and NAJ members. NAJ works to ensure equitable treatment for Jersey producers. The organization evaluates the implications of many dairy policy directives and takes action necessary to either support positive actions or correct improper ones. NAJ retains the services of a lobbyist in Washington D.C. to keep abreast of milk marketing issues and promote interests of Jersey producers in legislative matters. Research: The principle of equitable milk pricing is founded on establishing differences in the true value of milk in various consumer products. Thus, NAJ has supported basic research on the qualities and manufacturing yields of Jersey milk. There is much more important information to be gained, so NAJ continues to fund research efforts at several educational institutions throughout the U.S. Industry Relations: NAJ advocates collaboration among all segments of the dairy industry. The successful expansion of MCP best illustrates how NAJ works with industry partners to change the way the dairy industry does business. NAJ Objectives NAJ established the following objectives for 2012: • To the extent possible, be involved in efforts examining Federal milk marketing order and Farm Bill safety net alternatives. • Continue work to raise the national minimum nonfat solids standards for fluid milk to meet existing California levels. • Recruit research opportunities and promote research that demonstrates the value of high solids milk and the efficiency and sustainability of Jerseys. • In the All-Jersey and Queen of Quality brand programs, enroll new producers and distributors, expand services (continued to page 36)

Queen of Quality®
All-Jersey® Cheese Preserves Farm Heritage
T
he Creamery at Twin Maple Farm is creating and marketing All-Jersey® artisan cheese as a means of preserving farmland in the beautiful, historic Hudson Valley of eastern New York. The creamery in Ghent is the latest producer to join the Queen of Quality® program sponsored by National All-Jersey Inc. (NAJ). When the previous owners of Twin Maple Farm listed their property in 2001, Matthew Scott, one of the proprietors of the creamery, jumped at the chance to purchase the place. “I knew the family well, had played at the farm as a kid and even helped in the hay fields,” he recalled. “I wanted to save it from being developed for subdivisions and shopping malls and preserve its heritage as a farm.” When it came to recouping his investment, Scott set his sights on making cheese. The farm had served as a working dairy prior to his purchase and the region is rich with marketing opportunities from farmer’s markets and tourism. The Creamery at Twin Maple Farm crafts three types of artisan cheeses—Hudson Red, Hudson Gold and Hudson Truffle— from milk produced by the Jersey ladies at Dutch Hollow Farm in Schodack Landing, N.Y. Cheese is sold in leading retail outlets across the country, including Whole Foods and Murray’s Cheese Shop, and on the menu at the Four Seasons Hotel and the Plaza Hotel in New York City. Signature cheese Hudson Red has been served at the U.S. Open tennis tournament and earned a gold medal at the North American Jersey Cheese Awards in 2011. Since the Creamery at Twin Maple Farm sold its first wheel of cheese in 2009, demand has been booming. The creamery will produce 30,000 lbs. of cheese in 2012 and is projected to make 45,000 lbs. of cheese next year. The team at Twin Maple Farm is focusing all efforts on producing as much cheese as it can from the cheese room in the old milk house, as production is sold out through the end of the year. Setting Up Shop In addition to Scott, the other business partners in the cheese venture are his childhood friend, Dan Berman, and brother-inlaw, Doug Ginn. The skill set of the trio serves the business well. Scott works in the international wine and spirits distribution industry. Beroctober 2012
man is with the finance department at the well-known advertising and public relations agency, Ogilvy and Mather. Ginn has roots in the film business and traveled to northern Italy to learn the business of cheese making. He trained with Hawthorne Valley Farm in
Hudson Red is one of three varieties of artisan cheese crafted by the Creamery at Twin Maple Farm. The award-winning cheese starts with rich, beautiful Jersey milk produced by neighboring Dutch Hollow Farm. The venture allows proprietor Matthew Scott to fulfill a dream of preserving the heritage of the farm in the historic Hudson Valley.
Ghent and then began making cheese for the Creamery at Twin Maple Farm. Tim Merante joined the team in 2010 and became head cheesemaker in January 2011.
Merante had been trained as a journeyman at Hawthorne Valley Farm and also has experience bottling milk and making yogurt at Milk Thistle Farm. The processing room and aging cave/ drying room were constructed in the milk house of the dairy barn. “Most of the equipment we use at the creamery was manufactured in Europe,” explained Scott. “American-made equipment is geared toward large-scale production.” Cheese is stirred by hand in small batches in a 140-gallon cheese vat. Curds are pressed into wheels and then washed in saltwater brine. Wheels are aged in the drying room at 52° Fahrenheit, 95% relative humidity for a minimum of 60 days, depending on variety. They are washed with saltwater brine numerous times and flipped regularly during aging. It is the Brevibacterium Linens in the micro-flora of the aging cave that create the distinctive red-orange, sticky rind and pungent aroma for which the cheeses are known. No Commodity Milk Here The notion that all milk is not the same is one Scott readily conceives. “It is not commodity milk that we turn into cheese,” he explained. “The components in Jersey milk are perfect for the types of cheeses we make.” When they shopped for a local source of milk, Dutch Hollow Farm, situated 17 miles south of the creamery, was at the top of the list. The dairy also provides milk for Old Chatham Sheepherding Company and Beecher’s Handmade Cheese and supplements the bottling efforts of fellow Jersey breeder, High Lawn Farm in Lenox, Mass. The Creamery at Twin Maple Farm joined the All-Jersey® family at the urging of Dutch Hollow Farm. The association with the Queen of Quality® trademark perfectly suited the agenda at Twin Maple Farm. “People want to know the story behind their food,” said Scott. “They want to know where it is from, how it is made, what is in it and who the people are that bring the product to life. This transparency is a great thing for artisan producers who take pride in making a high quality product with ingredients they are (continued to page 39)

proud of.” Vertical integration of the dairy industry is a concept Scott has seen work well for the California fruit industry. He likens the growth of dairy products processed on the farm today to wine produced by Napa Valley fruit growers in the 1960s and 1970s. Entrepreneurs like Robert Mondavi and Francis Ford Coppola purchased struggling fruit farms, crafted specialty wines on the farm and opened their facilities to the public. Napa Valley is now a vibrant agricultural region and thrives from agritourism. “These fruit growers are now price makers and not price takers,” Scott commented. Here, in Napa Valley, the concept of commodity grapes largely no longer exists. Scott is counting on the same thing happening with cheese in the Hudson Valley. Jersey Milk Recipe for Success One of ways NAJ adds value to Jersey milk and Jersey cattle is by developing markets that use Jersey milk. Though many of the current Queen of Quality® producers are Jersey producers who got a start milking cows and then processed products using their own milk, others, like the Creamery at Twin Maple Farm, started with a business idea and then discovered Jersey milk. Their success validates the need for NAJ to continue to educate processors about Jersey milk. The NAJ mission will be accomplished not only legislatively, but by creating demand from processors. Long-time Jersey breeders will remember the impact the cheese yield formula had in advancing multiple component pricing in Federal Milk Marketing Orders across the country. Components and cheese yield were the factors that sold the Creamery at Twin october 2012
Maple Farm on Jerseys and have allowed Scott to fulfill his dream of building a business that supports the local community by promoting world-class agriculture, creating jobs and sourcing all of its milk locally. “These farms are special places,” he noted. “Like the olive orchards and grape vineyards of Tuscany, they often are five or six generations in the making.” “There is a lot of passion and pride among artisan cheese makers here and it is really cool to be a part of this community.” “The success we’ve had with our cheese and Jersey milk is contagious,” he continued. Though Jersey farms like Dutch
Hollow Farm know they produce a special product, it never hurts to reinforce the enthusiasm. Perhaps that is why the family at AllJersey is growing larger every day and now includes 31 distributors from 18 states across the country.

NAJ EQUITY PROGRAM
Equity Honor Roll
S
ince June 1976, when Project Equity was kicked off at the AJCA-NAJ Annual Meetings, dairy producers have invested more than $9.6 million in the program through 2011 to establish an equitable pricing system for milk marketed in the U.S. Without doubt, it is one of the most successful programs in the history of the dairy industry. Through participation in REAP, direct contribution, or milk check assignment, thousands of dairy producers have contributed to Project Equity over the years. A special thank
you is extended to the 1,010 producers who participated in Project Equity from September 1, 2011, to August 31, 2012 (listed below). If your name has been inadvertently omitted, please contact the staff of National All-Jersey Inc. so that an update may be published in a future issue of the Jersey Journal.

The awards are presented annually in memory of Fred J. Stout Sr., Mt.

The AJCC Research Foundation has issued a request for research proposals to be funded in 2013 addressing significant issues for the Jersey breed and Jersey milk producers. Current priorities for research funding are: • Nutrition of high-producing Jerseys, particularly practical feeding methods to maximize production of valuable milk components; • Factors affecting management of Jersey calves; • Factors affecting yield and (or) quality of products manufactured from Jersey milk; • Factors affecting economic impact of Jerseys: efficiencies, net income, longevity, and lifetime profit; • Optimizing the genetic basis for improving animal health and (or) enhancing product quality; • Enhancing environmental impact associated with Jerseys; • New technologies for safe and sustainable food production from Jersey cattle; and • Feasibility of adding value and increasing consumer acceptance of Jersey-derived products through enhanced product quality and branding. Application deadline is December 1, 2012. The Research Advisory Committee of the American Jersey Cattle Association will evaluate the proposals, then forward its recommendations to the AJCA Board of Directors, which will award funds at its meeting in March 2013. Submissions are evaluated for (a) merit (e.g., potential to advance practical knowledge, creative approach to the problem); (b) competence (i.e., high probability of successful completion within the proposed time frame); and (c) relevance (e.g., problem derived from one of the areas of research priority). Since 1988, the Foundation has awarded approximately $878,500 in seed money for selected projects. Detailed information about the Competitive Grants Program can be found on the web site (www.usjersey.com/ programs/researchprogram.html) or requested from Cari W. Wolfe, Director of Research and Genetic Programs Development, at 614/322-4453. Like all of our pages on Facebook for the latest Jersey news!

GENETIC IMPROVEMENT
Policies Regarding Undesirable Genetic Factors Effective February 22, 1983 Revised July 27, 2011 Statement of Policy Every effort should be made within the breed to identify those animals that carry undesirable genetic factors. The American Jersey Cattle Association considers it the responsibility and obligation of each member of the Association and each breeder of Jersey cattle to report to the Executive Secretary any known case of an abnormal Jersey animal. The Executive Secretary shall maintain records of abnormalities and shall make available information from such records in accordance with rules established by the Board of Directors from time to time. The Board of Directors considers it to be unethical practice to offer for sale an animal, male or female, an embryo or semen from an animal that has been designated a carrier of an undesirable genetic factor without first informing the prospective buyer of this fact. In practice this means that any advertising, descriptive material, or pedigree containing a designated carrier of an undesirable genetic factor shall carry a statement indicating designated carriers. This statement of policy is made in belief that it is in the best interests of the breed and the breeders of Jersey cattle. It is made in the belief that it will serve the position of those who have taken the more difficult, positive, open approach to this fundamental concept of ethics in the improved breeding of dairy cattle. In the long run, all serve to gain by such a policy, but only to the degree that all cooperate in the acceptance and enforcement of this policy. Identification of Undesirable Genetic Factors In determining what genetic factors are considered to be undesirable in the Jersey breed, the Board of Directors shall consider such evidence as it considers appropriate. The Executive Secretary shall make such investigations of genetic factors occurring in Jersey animals as he or she may believe necessary or advisable and shall report the results of his or her investigations to the Board of Directors. Before recommending that the Board make a determination regarding the existence of an undesirable genetic factor, the Executive Secretary shall consult with at october 2012
Action On Undesirable Genetic Factors Excerpted from
Bylaws of The American Jersey Cattle Association Article IV, Section 4. The Executive Secretary shall make such investigations of genetic factors occurring in Jersey animals as he or she may believe necessary or advisable and shall report the results of his or her investigations to the Board of Directors. Each member and non-member of the Association shall cooperate fully in any such investigation. The Board of Directors shall determine what genetic factors are considered to be undesirable in the Jersey breed and shall take whatever action it may consider appropriate to control and limit such undesirable genetic factors. The collection, compilation and dissemination of information relating to genetic factors is hereby declared to be in the furtherance of the aims and purposes of the Association, the preservation of the high breeding standards of Jersey cattle, and the protection not only of the members of the Association but also of the public generally; and dissemination of such information is therefore, deemed to be qualified privilege. Accordingly, the Association shall publish and release such information in accordance with procedures established by the Board of Directors. In so doing neither the Association, nor its officers, directors, employees, or agents shall be liable for damages or otherwise. least two experts whose recommendations shall be submitted to the Board. Identification of Carrier Animals When the Board of Directors shall determine that an undesirable genetic factor exists in the Jersey breed, the Board shall take whatever action it may consider appropriate to control and limit the genetic factor. Such action will include procedures to identify animals that are probable carriers of the undesirable genetic factor and to inform persons having an interest in the Jersey breed of the identity of such probable carriers. The procedures for publication of the identity of probable carrier animals, referred to as “designated” carriers, are contained in supplemental statements adopted with respect to each undesirable genetic condition. For each undesirable genetic condition the Board of Directors shall adopt a separate statement of procedures for designating animals, referred to as “Statement of Designation Procedures,” and designate an official report form to be used for reporting affected animals. The Board of Directors shall be responsible for designating animals as carriers of an undesirable genetic factor. When an animal has been designated as a carrier, the Executive Secretary shall notify the last recorded owner, the breeder, and the lessee, if any, by certified mail.
The Board of Directors may adopt procedures and rules by which a Jersey may be progeny tested for a particular undesirable genetic factor. The rules and procedures for progeny testing are contained in supplemental statements adopted with respect to each undesirable genetic condition. The policy of the Association is to identify and designate Jersey animals as carriers of undesirable genetic factors when (1) genomic detection based on DNA analyses and/or (2) documentation of their own progeny is sufficient to accomplish designation. Publication and Release of Information Male and Female Animals The Executive Secretary shall maintain a record of all animals that have been designated carriers of an undesirable genetic factor, and designation shall be noted on all advertising, descriptive material, or pedigrees published by the Association containing reference to a designated carrier. Except as provided in this statement of policies, no information concerning the genetic condition of any animal shall be released by the Association without approval of the Board of Directors. (continued to page 70)

GENETIC IMPROVEMENT (continued from page 69)
Male Animals Only When the Association receives an official report of an affected animal, the Executive Secretary shall so inform the last recorded owner, the breeder, and the lessee, if any, of the sire of such an animal by regular mail; and thereafter he or she shall routinely inform the breeder, the owner, and the lessee of that sire of the receipt of any additional reports and supporting documentation required by the applicable Statement of Designation Procedures and of such additional information as he/she shall deem appropriate. When the Association receives an official report that an animal is affected with an undesirable genetic condition and that report is accompanied by the documentation required by the applicable Statement of Designation Procedures and if the sire of the animal described in the report is the son or grandson of a designated carrier or an affected animal, the Executive Secretary shall prepare a statement containing information as he or she, in his or her sole discretion, shall deem appropriate with respect to such sire. Such statement shall be furnished to the last recorded owner, the breeder, and the lessee, if any, of the sire and to any AI organization that is currently is offering for sale semen obtained from the sire. The statement shall also be furnished to any other person who requests information from the Association concerning the sire. The identification of bulls designated as carriers of undesirable genetic factors shall be published in the Jersey Journal from time to time in such manner as the Executive Secretary shall determine. Sales For each undesirable genetic condition the Board of Directors shall establish policies for the marketing of carrier animals and their progeny in all sales sponsored or managed by the Association or Jersey Marketing Service. Limber Legs (LL) Statement of Designation Procedures Designated November 1972 Description of Condition The affected calf has little or no control over movement of legs and is unable to stand. The calf ’s legs lack normal muscling, appear loose at the joints, and can be flexed, extended and rotated without difficulty or discomfort to the calf. Usually Page 70
the legs can be crossed above the dorsal side of the neck without discomfort to the calf. Requirements for Designation of Limber Legs Carrier The Board of Directors will not designated an animal a carrier of Limber Legs if the Board considers that there is a reasonable doubt that the animal is a carrier. The determination as to reasonable doubt depends upon the quality and amount of available evidence which will vary in each case. Usually, the Board will designate a carrier bull without the concurrence of the breeder, last recorded owner, and the lessee, if any, upon receipt of two or more official reports that calves sired by that bull are affected with Limber Legs if (1) the calves reported on were born in two separate herds and (2) each report is accompanied by the written statement of a veterinarian or other person (other than the person signing the official report) who, in the opinion of the Executive Secretary, is qualified to identify the Limber Legs condition describing the condition of the calf and stating whether, in his or her opinion, the calf is affected with Limber Legs. However, with the concurrence of the breeder, the last recorded owner, and the lessee, if any, the Board will usually designate a carrier bull upon receipt of one or more official report(s) that a calf sired by that bull is affected with Limber Legs if each report is accompanied by a written statement by a veterinarian or other qualified person and if a parent or any grandparent of the bull has been designated a Limber Legs carrier. Usually the Board will designate a carrier cow upon receipt of one official report that a calf delivered by that cow is affected with Limber Legs if the report is accompanied by the requisite written statement of a veterinarian or other qualified person. An extended (six generation) pedigree of the affected animal will be prepared to see if the animal traces to designated carrier animals. With respect to all sales sponsored or managed by the Association or Jersey Marketing Service, a bull shall not be accepted unless the probability of his being a carrier of Limber Legs, based on his relationship to affected animals or designated carriers, is less than 12.5%. Daughters of designated carriers of Limber Legs shall not be accepted in
any consignment sale managed by Jersey Marketing Service. Granddaughters of designated carriers shall not be accepted in the National Heifer Sale, the Pot O’Gold Sale or The All American Sale but may be accepted in other consignment sales managed by Jersey Marketing Service. Rectovaginal Constriction (RVC) Statement of Designation Procedures Designated June 1975 Description of Condition Rectovaginal Constriction (RVC) is constriction of the rectum and vagina such that the arm usually may not be inserted normally in the rectum to permit artificial breeding. An episiotomy or Caesarian section is usually required for calving. The condition may be accompanied by hardening of the udder. Requirements for Designation of Rectovaginal Constriction Carrier The Board of Directors will not designate an animal as a carrier of Rectovaginal Constriction (RVC) if the Board considers that there is a reasonable doubt that the animal is a carrier. The determination as to reasonable doubt depends upon the quality and amount of available evidence which will vary in each case. Usually, the Board will designate a carrier bull without concurrence of the breeder, last recorded owner, and the lessee, if any, upon receipt of two or more official reports that, calves sired by the bull are affected with RVC if (1) the calves reported on were born in two separate herds; (2) the bulls relationship to the calves is supported by blood typing; and (3) each such report is accompanied by the written statement of a veterinarian or other person (other than the person signing the official report) who, in the opinion of the Executive Secretary, is qualified to identify the RVC condition describing the condition and stating whether in his or her opinion the calf is affected with RVC. However, with the concurrence of the breeder, the last owner, and the lessee, if any, the Board will usually designate a carrier bull upon receipt of one or more official report(s) that a calf sired by that bull is affected with RVC if each report is accompanied by blood typing to verify parentage and by written statements of a veterinarian or other qualified person and if a parent or grandparent of the bull has been designated an RVC carrier or is affected with RVC. (continued to page 72)
JERSEY JOURNAL
GENETIC IMPROVEMENT Jersey Haplotype 1 (JH1) Statement of Designation Procedures Designated June 2011
(continued from page 70)
Usually, the Board will designate a carrier cow upon receipt of one official report that a calf delivered by that cow is affected with RVC if the report is accompanied by blood typing to verify parentage and by the requisite written statement of a veterinarian or other qualified person. An extended (six generation) pedigree of the affected animal will be prepared to see if the animal traces to affected or designated carrier animals. With respect to all sales sponsored or managed by the Association or Jersey Marketing Service, a bull shall not be accepted unless the probability of his being a carrier of Rectovaginal Constriction, based on his relationship to affected animals or designated carriers, is less than 12.5%. Daughters of designated carriers of Rectovaginal Constriction shall not be accepted in any consignment sale managed by Jersey Marketing Service. Granddaughters of designated carriers shall not be accepted in the National Heifer Sale, the Pot O’Gold Sale or The All American Sale but may be accepted in other consignment sales managed by Jersey Marketing Service.
Description of Condition Jersey Haplotype 1 (JH1) is a haplotype that impacts fertility. JH1 is associated with decreased conception rate; it is not associated with still births. When JH1 is inherited from both sire and dam, no live calf results. At this time, the exact physiological, morphological or biological condition is not fully understood nor has a candidate gene search identified any known causative mutations. Requirements for Designation of JH1 Carrier or Tested Free Status The Board of Directors will not designate an animal either a carrier or free of JH1 haplotype if the Board considers that there is a reasonable doubt that the animal is a carrier. The determination as to reasonable doubt depends upon the quality and amount of available evidence which will vary in each case. The Board will designate a carrier animal based on the identification of the JH1 haplotype from a 50K or higher density
genotype. Until an animal has been tested with a 50K or higher density genotype, the Board will not designate that animal as tested free of JH1 haplotype. With respect to all sales sponsored by the Association, a bull shall not be accepted unless designated free of Jersey Haplotype 1.
Importance of Reporting and Testing Controlling undesirable genetic factors requires (1) reporting all animals that appear abnormal or are abnormal in function; (2) scientific investigation to establish conditions which are genetic in nature; (3) labeling carriers that may transmit the condition to offspring; and (4) making this information available to people making breeding decisions. Suspected abnormal animals should be immediately reported using forms available from the Executive Secretary or from the website at www.USJersey.com.
