St. Jacobs Animal Breeding Cooperative Under New Ownership Tim Abbott and his wife, Sharyn, Fairfield, Vt., recently purchased the business of St. Jacobs ABC from the members of St. Jacobs Animal Breeding Cooperative. St. Jacobs (STJ) Animal Breeding Cooperative made the decision to sell the business to the Abbotts, who have formed the new business St. Jacobs Animal Breeding Corporation. “The STJ Board of Directors is excited to see Tim and Sharyn carry on this very successful business. We believe this move is in the best interest of our 44 members, who overwhelmingly support this sale,” stated Keith Wideman, President of the St. Jacobs ABC Board. St. Jacobs started as a technician service in Waterloo County, Ontario, in 1958. St. Jacobs began a successful partnership with ABS Global, Inc. in 1990. The North American Intercollegiate Dairy Challenge (NAIDC) board of directors elected two Jersey breeders to serve as officers for their board of directors. Owen Bewley, Prince Agri Products, Susquehanna, Pa., has been named finance chair and Tami Tollenaar, Tollenaar Dairy, Elk Grove, Calif., was named publicity chair.

Board Action on Undesirable Genetic Factors In 1972, the AJCA Board of Directors established policy regarding undesirable genetic factors in the Jersey breed. It created reporting procedures and standards for scientific investigation. If a condition was determined to be genetically transmitted, the scientific facts were shared with all breeders of Jersey cattle. This policy guided a 15-year effort to manage two costly abnormalities, Limber Legs and Rectovaginal Constriction, and was successful because it took “the more difficult, positive, open approach to this fundamental concept of ethics in the improved breeding of dairy cattle.” Those principles are still in place 40 years later, and are likely more important than ever since genomics entered Jersey cattle breeding in January of 2009. Geneticists are making powerful discoveries about specific genes, markers and chromosomal segments that affect production, type and fitness traits of Jersey cattle. At the same time, says Kent Weigel of the University of Wisconsin–Madison, conditions thought to be inherited abnormalities “are not rare anomalies that occur once in a decade in a handful of genetically unfit animals. Scientists now believe that it is likely that every individual carries several genes that, if expressed in homozygous form, would lead to a severely impaired or lethal phenotype.” After the April evaluations, geneticists detected a unique haplotype related to conception failure in approximately 25% of the thousands of Jersey genotypes being studied at the Animal Improvement Programs Laboratory. Jersey Haplotype 1 was associated with a conception rate of –3.7%. When an egg with the JH1 haplotype in its DNA is fertilized by a sperm that also has the JH1 haplotype, no live calf results. Upon receiving this information, the AJCA Board of Directors acted at its regular meeting on June 21 to recognize undesirable genetic factors based on genomic detection and to designate Jersey Haplotype 1 (JH1) as an undesirable genetic factor. Requirements were established for the designation of Jersey animals as carriers or tested free based on a 50K or higher density genotype. Test status, labeled as JH1C for carrier or JH1F for tested free, now appears on AJCA performance documents and genetic evaluation reports. JH1 is fairly common in the Jersey breed and has been present—though not identified—for at least five decades. According to AIPL, its frequency over the past 40 years has been between 20% and 25%. The current frequency is 23.4%. Eliminating JH1 is not really practical, nor is it desirable. “Imagine the genetic progress in milk yield, milk composition, conformation, health, and even fertility that SEPTEMBER 2011
would be lost by discarding thousands of haplotypes that are favorable for these traits while trying to eliminate the haplotype affecting fertility,” Dr. Weigel says. Instead he suggests that managing JH1 will be more productive for your herd and the Jersey breed. “Managing” means evaluating bulls that have the JH1 haplotype for what they can bring to your bottom line. Some of the economic impact of Jersey Haplotype 1 is already accounted for in Jersey Performance Index™ and USDA Net Merit indexes because daughter pregnancy rate (DPR) is incorporated in these selection tools. What is recommended is to continue multi-trait selection based on JPI and/or NM$ with added attention to sire conception rate (SCR). “Managing” also means avoiding matings with greater probability of embryo loss. “This is where we can use our new information powerfully,” Weigel says. “Nearly every Jersey sire whose semen is marketed for artificial insemination (A.I.) has been genotyped, so the genotypes of the service sire and the sire of the cow are usually known. In herds that rely heavily on A.I., it is possible to foresee almost every potential mating of a daughter of a bull with the JH1 haplotype to a service sire with the JH1 haplotype. “Computerized mating programs offer a simple, inexpensive solution for avoiding affected matings,” advises Dr. Weigel, whose work funded by the AJCC Research Foundation resulted in the AJCA’s JerseyMate™ program and who is working on a genome-enhanced version of the program. “Producers should use these programs and follow through on the mating recommendations.” JerseyMate™ now automatically eliminates matings of designated JH1 carrier bulls to designated JH1 carrier females. For other matings, JerseyMate™ discounts potential matings to JH1 carriers for the potential cost of days open based on the probability of inheriting the JH1 haplotype. The economic impact of a lost embryo due to JH1 is estimated at $84 (42 days open x $2.00/day). JerseyMate™ may recommend carrier to daughter-of-carrier matings. When this happens, it is because the potential economic gain is more than dollars lost from the impact on fertility due to JH1. Reproductive efficiency is an important Jersey breed characteristic, and a key to the profitability of your Jersey business. The AJCA Board of Directors action to designate Jersey Haplotype 1 as an undesirable genetic factor means that information is now available to all Jersey owners so that you can limit carrier-to-carrier matings and manage the impact of JH1 on embryo loss.

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 Page 18
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. JERSEY JOURNAL
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 SEPTEMBER 2011
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 (continued to page 23)

Frequently Asked Questions: Jersey Haplotype 1 What is Jersey Haplotype 1? Jersey Haplotype 1 (JH1) is the undesirable form of a haplotype on chromosome 15 (technical label, 355.10). Genetic research indicates that JH1 causes failed conception or embryo loss. Although not directly observed, the Animal Improvement Programs Laboratory has established that no live calf results that is homozygous for JH1 (homozygous meaning that it has inherited a copy of the haplotype from each of its parents). This was determined after studying 830,391 conception rate records for Jersey females. Haplotypes with the same effect but located on different chromosomes have also been identified in the two other breeds with genomic evaluations (Holstein and Brown Swiss). For all three breeds, the exact genetic or biological cause is not known at this time. Research to find answers is a high priority and in progress at the Bovine Functional Genomics Laboratory and AIPL. What is a haplotype? Is a haplotype different from a gene? A haplotype is a region of closely-linked genetic markers (single nucleotide polymorphisms, or SNPs) that are located on one chromosome and that are inherited as a group. As such, a haplotype encompasses multiple genes. There are many haplotypes, most of them good or benign, but a few of them not so good. AIPL geneticists are looking at Jersey 50K genotypes for frequently occurring haplotypes that may have important effects. Pedigrees are examined to check if the haplotypes have a logical inheritance pattern across generations within families. Then, the geneticists determine how the haplotype is associated with phenotype using production, fitness and type information from the national dairy records system. Why did the Board of Directors designate Jersey Haplotype 1 as an undesirable genetic factor? Reproductive efficiency is an important Jersey breed characteristic, and a key to the profitability of your Jersey business. By designating JH1 as an undesirable genetic factor (see Policies Regarding Undesirable Genetic Factors, at www.usjersey.com/Reference/Policies_Undesirable_Genetic_Factors_rev711.pdf), information will be available to all Jersey owners so that they can Page 20

the service sire and the sire of the cow are usually known. In herds that rely heavily on A.I., it is possible to foresee almost every potential mating of a daughter of a bull with the JH1 haplotype to a service sire with the JH1 haplotype. “Computerized mating programs offer a simple, inexpensive solution for avoiding affected matings,” Weigel says. “So producers should use these programs and follow through on the mating recommendations.”
What is the carrier frequency of JH1 in the population? According to AIPL’s study, JH1 has been present in the Jersey population for 40 years at a frequency of 20% to 25%. The current frequency of JH1 is 23.4%. This means that 75% of the Jersey population does not have the JH1 haplotype. Does this mean that I need to eliminate it from my herd? Eliminate, no. Manage, yes. JH1 is fairly common in the Jersey breed and has been present—though not identified—for at least five decades. According to AIPL, its frequency over the past 40 years has been between 20% and 25%. Eliminating JH1 is not really practical. Nor is it desirable. “Imagine the genetic progress in milk yield, milk composition, conformation, health, and even fertility that would be lost by discarding thousands of haplotypes that are favorable for these traits while trying to eliminate the haplotype affecting fertility,” points out geneticist Kent Weigel of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. “In practice we try to select bulls and cows that have inherited more good haplotypes than bad. Over time, this process of balanced selection increases the frequency of favorable haplotypes, and the genes that are inherited with them, and the performance of the population is enhanced.” “Managing” means evaluating bulls that have the JH1 haplotype for what they can bring to your bottom line. Some of the economic impact of Jersey Haplotype 1 is already accounted for in Jersey Performance Index™ and USDA Net Merit indexes because daughter pregnancy rate (DPR) is incorporated in these selection tools. What is recommended is to continue multi-trait selection based on JPI and/or NM$ with added attention to sire conception rate (SCR). “Managing” also means avoiding matings with greater probability of embryo loss. “This is where we can use our new information powerfully,” Weigel says. “Nearly every Jersey sire whose semen is marketed for artificial insemination (A.I.) has been genotyped, so the genotypes of
Why is the 50K test, but not the 3K test, used to report JH1 status? The 3K genotype is 96.6% as accurate as a 50K genotype in correctly identifying JH1 status. Information about JH1 status from a 3K genotype is still valuable and will be reported to recorded owners on the Genomic Evaluation Report. 50K genotyping is recommended for cows and heifers that are candidates for ET or IVF or are potential bull mothers. How will I know if an animal is a carrier of JH1? The designation of JH1 haplotype status is only based on 50K or higher density genotypes. Two labels will be used: JH1C for carrier or JH1F for tested free. These will be printed on Official Performance Pedigrees, Performance-Progeny Reports and genetic evaluation reports. What can I expect if I mate two known carriers of Jersey Haplotype 1? There is a 25% chance that the embryo would inherit two copies of JH1 and not live to be born.

The chance that the calf would be a carrier is 50%. But there’s also a 25% probability that this mating would result in a calf that does not inherit JH1 from either parent. JERSEY JOURNAL
What’s the economic impact of mating two known carriers? If a bull with the JH1 haplotype were mated to 100 genotyped cows known to carry JH1, 50 eggs would carry the haplotype, and 25 would encounter sperm that would lead to failed conception or early embryonic loss. It is assumed that homozygous embryos are lost in the first 60 days of gestation, for an average increase of roughly 42 days open. The cost of one extra day open this early in lactation is $2. Economic loss would then be 25 cows x 42 days per cow x $2 per day, or $2,100. The more typical situation will be this: A JH1 carrier bull is being considered as a mate for the daughters of another JH1 carrier bull. For 100 such cows, 50 would have the JH1 haplotype, 25 eggs would carry the haplotype, and 12.5 matings would be affected, for a total cost of $1,050 (12.5 matings x 42 days x $2 per day). What about matings of a carrier bull to non-carrier females? Half of the offspring (50%) would be JH1 carriers, and the other half would be normal. OUTCOMES FROM MATING CARRIERS OF JH1

How will JerseyMate handle JH1? JerseyMate now discounts potential matings including JH1 carriers for the potential cost of days open based on the probability of inheriting the JH1 haplotype. The economic impact of a lost embryo due to JH1 is estimated at $84 (42 days open x $2/day). JerseyMate may recommend carrier to daughter-of-carrier matings. When this happens, it is because the potential economic gain is more than dollars lost from the impact on fertility due to JH1. However, JerseyMate automatically eliminates matings of designated JH1 carrier bulls (based on 50K genotypes) to designated JH1 carrier females.

been designated an RVC carrier or is affected with RVC. 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. Jersey Haplotype 1 (JH1) Statement of Designation Procedures Designated June 2011 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. SEPTEMBER 2011
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.

The “Little Brown” Influence — Amber Ettinger
cannot remember a time when the Jersey cow did not influence my life. She has always played a big part in the direction I have taken. The “little brown cow” has given me the opportunity to participate in many activities that has shaped me into the person I am today. I am Amber Ettinger of South Carolina and I am proud to be among the group of Jersey breeders that can say they are National Jersey Youth Achievement winners. I owe many thanks to my family for giving me a great start as a young Jersey breeder. First, my parents, Ed and Cheryl Ettinger, who met at The All American in Louisville, Ky., got married and worked hard to develop Will Do Jerseys into a productive herd. In 1985, they were awarded the AJCC Young Jersey Breeder award. My father has passed on to me a deep appreciation for the Jersey’s desirable traits. It all began when Trinitys Improver Jewel was purchased for me when I was two-years-old. That cow family has grown over the years and there are 16 descendants currently in my herd. Elevenyear-old Will Do Choice Tulip, Excellent-94%, continues to be one of my favorites. She freshened on her last birthday to begin her 10th lactation with another heifer calf. Erica, my older sister, paved the way into the show ring by joining 4-H and “allowing” me to tag along. Together, we attended several shows each year. I was able to win three Reserve Grand Champion rosettes with my home-bred animals. The most notable win was “Tulip’s” at the Clemson Spring Dairy show. Although the big prizes did not always come home from the shows, I did enjoy spending a little time in a different setting with my Jerseys and visiting with friends that had a similar love for their animals. In 1999, Erica and I partnered to purchase Dynamic View Wigi in the Pot O’ Gold Sale and placed seventh in the prod contest, three years later. Together, Erica and I have 25 animals in the partnership. One of the more notable descendants from “Wigi” is the heifer we donated in the 2011 National Heifer Sale, Will Do Valentino Wannabe-Twin. We wanted to give back to the national Jersey youth programs that had benefited us and so many other youth, so when our cow, Will Do Rebel Warm, Excellent-90%, gave birth to twin heifers, we decided to donate one. To be in the sale, the heifer had to genotyped. When “Wannabe’s” numbers came back, it turned out she ranked third in the nation at that time. I was thrilled to be able to attend the sale and see our heifer bring a record setting donation of $27,000 all going to the youth programs that have given so much to both of us. Early on, my parents transferred a member of my dad’s first Jersey cow family to me, just as they had done for my sister.
Page 24
That venture did not prove to be as successful as I had hoped, but more character was built. Erica had much success with hers and approaching the time when she couldn’t compete as a youth, she saw that I had a great love for our Jerseys and decided to surprise me with a calf as a Christmas present. All in all, I own 23 cows and 25 heifers. The average appraisal score on 22 cows is 83% with three Excellents and 14 Very Goods. Working with my Jerseys, I have developed an excellent work ethic and confidence that has led me to participate in other activities, maybe not all with a Jersey at my side, but because of her. My Jerseys have allowed me many opportunities. I was in 4-H and the South Carolina Junior Jersey Cattle Association, holding leadership positions in both organizations. I honed my skills and was awarded trips to the National 4-H Dairy Conference in Madison, Wis., the National 4-H Congress in Atlanta, Ga., and the National 4-H Conference in Washington, D. C. I was the second South Carolina 4-Her to serve on the National 4-H Conference Planning Committee. I have received the highest award given in South Carolina to a 4-Her, the Presidential Tray; this was also the year my mom received the Glen Krohn Award for Volunteerism in 4-H, the first from our county. Other leadership activities that I have participated in include the South Carolina Farm Bureau Youth Leadership Conference and the South Carolina Commissioner’s School for Agriculture. Both of these programs allowed me to build on my leadership and career interests. I was honored to be selected to participate in the inaugural class of the Jersey Youth Academy. I met so many great new friends, renewed old friendships and learned so much from all the speakers and activities presented during that week long event. I have also served two years on The All American Junior Planning Committee. It is wonderful to have input into the weekend where so many youth and adults alike enjoy their mutual love of the Jersey cow. Currently I am enjoying my college years at Virginia Tech majoring in dairy science. Through my involvment with dairy science club activities, I have been able to travel to Germany and Austria this year. It was quite an honor to be voted Dairy Science Club Freshman of the Year by my peers. All these things that I am would not be possible if not for the “little brown cow.” All that I am and will be is greatly influenced by my work with and love for the Jersey cow. Whatever I do in the future, the Jersey cow will be a part of it. It is an honor to have my name added to the list of people who can say they are National Jersey Youth Achievement winners.

JERSEY YOUTH PROGRAMS
2010 National Jersey Youth Achievement Awards
P
assion and dedication to the Jersey breed have been the driving force for Amber Ettinger, Kinards, S.C., to participate and earn awards in many areas throughout her first 20 years of life. This year she caps off her Jersey youth career with the breed’s most prestigious junior award—winning the 2010 National Youth Achievement Contest. The contest recognizes Jersey youth from across the country for their leadership activities and participation in Jersey functions, as well as their success in breeding and managing their own Jersey cattle. This past March, 22 applications from determined and dedicated youth across the country arrived in the office of the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA). Each application was evaluated and ranked by a committee of judges, and the following placed second through 10th, respectively: Kyle M. Schirm, West Salem, Ohio; Cassandra L. Chittenden, Schodack Landing, N.Y.; Kelli Ann Carstensen, Petaluma, Calif.; Stacey A. Theobald, Waymart, Pa.; Cassandra N. Krull, Lake Mills, Wis.; Kara Maxwell, Donahue, Iowa; Tera Koebel, Three Oaks, Mich.; Avery Lutz, Mocksville, N.C., and Corbin Wood, Littlestown, Pa. The Jersey youth programs have been a core part of Jersey youth development since 1958. Nominations for the National Jersey Youth Achievement Contest are made by state Jersey organizations, which can nominate up to two individuals each year. The competition is open to members of the AJCA who are between the ages of 16 and 20 on January 1, 2010, or placed among the top 10 in the previous year’s contest. The AJCA provides cash awards totaling $3,000 to the top 10 individuals. Awards will be presented at the Junior Banquet on November 5, 2011, during All American festivities in Louisville, Ky. Amber Ettinger Amber Ettinger is not a new face on the National Youth Achievement Contest list, as she is making her third appearance among the top 10 winners. Actually, she is hardly a new face at all among Jersey youth activities, having competed or participated in nearly all her state and the national Jersey youth programs. SEPTEMBER 2011
Amber is the daughter of Edwin and Cheryl Ettinger, Will Do Jerseys, and is currently a dairy science student at Virginia Tech, where she just finished her sophomore year. The list of wide-ranging accomplishments backing this Jersey youth is an extensive testament to her passion for the dairy industry and the Jersey cow. No matter if it is her cows producing in the bulk tank, earnEttinger ing laurals in the show ring or her community, Amber has had much success and personal growth in the Jersey and dairy industry. “I became involved in organizations such as 4-H because of my association with Jerseys,” said Amber. “I have learned leadership skills with all the offices and committees that I have held on the county, state and national level.” 4-H became an outlet for Amber to hone in on the leadership skills she had learned growing up on her family Jersey farm. During her 13-year tenure as a 4-H member, Amber served all offices of her local club, including two separate terms as president. She also served on her county and state teen councils for four and five years, respectively, and was a leader for the South Carolina 4-H Teen Weekend and 4-H State Congress for five years. She was also a state 4-H ambassador for three years and was a state delegate to the National 4-H Congress, National 4-H Conference and the National 4-H Dairy Conference. In 2009, she was awarded the South Carolina State 4-H Presidential Tray and scholarship and was the South Carolina honoree for the President’s Volunteer Service Award. Amber now serves as a young adult 4-H leader for her county extension. “By getting off the farm and networking with people, it will help whatever career path I take,” said Amber of her many activities. “These are opportunities of a lifetime that I will always remember and benefit from.” Although she now spends her time on
the campus of Virginia Tech taking on new classroom endeavors and activities with the university dairy club, Amber is still very involved at Will Do Jerseys and her own herd of 28 cows and 25 heifers. The 2010 m.e. average of her herd was 19,265 lbs. milk, 892 lbs. fat and 663 lbs. protein on 17 records. Of the 19 cows she had appraised in 2010, she had one Excellent and 12 Very Good. She also was awarded first place in the 2010 South Carolina Jersey Production Contest. Although her responsibilities have changed since she began college, she still helps with milking, halter breaking heifers, giving shots, dehorning, ear tagging and making hay when she is at home. “I am always looking for new ways to improve our farm by doing research and seeing what is working for other dairy farms,” said Amber of her responsibilities at home. She has taken advantage of several opportunities to further her Jersey knowledge, including a week she spent at Hi-Land Farms, Wyoming, N.Y., where she helped them prepare for the AJCANAJ Annual Meeting and the Annual World Jersey Tour in 2009. Amber is the reigning Second Alternate National Jersey Queen, having competed in the 2010 contest. Her video speech about the importance of the Jersey cow can be found on the USJersey video webpage. This was not Amber’s first time competing for the crown as she placed in the top five for the national queen title in 2009 after serving as the South Carolina Jersey Queen, which has allowed her multiple platforms to speak of her passion for the Jersey breed and promote dairy products. Also in 2009, Amber was part of the inaugural class of the Jersey Youth Academy and was awarded numerous achievement scholarships, including the Rueben R. Cowles Youth Award, South Carolina Jersey Cattle Association Scholarship, Dairy Herd Information Association Scholarship and Dairy Farmers of America Scholarship. Amber has also won several other notable awards, including consecutive first-place finishes in the 2007 and 2008 South Carolina Jersey Production Contest. Also helping realize the strong genetics of (continued to page 27)

her herd has been the National Pot O’Gold Production Contest and National Jersey Youth Production Contest, having placed a best seventh in both. In addition to promoting the breed during her reign as South Carolina Jersey Queen and Second Alternate National Jersey Queen, Amber has taken many opportunities to share information of the dairy industry with those in the same sector and those on the outside. Amber has exhibited well at the state level when it comes to speeches and dairy poster contests, taking home a first and second place finish in 2008 and 2009. She has also given AJCA annual meeting attendees a taste of her Jersey knowledge, placing third in the 2008 TalkJersey contest. An additional area Amber has had success in is the judging aspect of the dairy world. She has competed in the South Carolina 4-H judging contest nine times where she has been part of the winning team four times, and taken home two individual first places. This Jersey youth has also had success in the show arena, regularly participating in the Clemson Spring Dairy Show and Laurens County (SC) Fair, having exhibited three reserve grand champions throughout her career. Soon to begin her junior year of college, Amber still has a great deal to look forward to and explore. She is currently delving into the many possibilities her academic career can provide her in a program that is known for its diversity. Although there are still many avenues she could pursue, Amber knows she will continue to be an advocate for the dairy and agriculture world, and a proponent of the Jersey cow. Kyle Matthew Schirm Moving up two spaces to a secondplace finish on the National Youth Achievement winners list is Kyle Matthew Schirm, West Salem, Ohio. The 21-year-old son of Paul and Dawn Schirm, Schirm Jersey Farm, just Schirm completed his sophomore year at Ashland University where he is studying finance. “Upon graduation from college, I plan to work in the finance area of a local company, in addition to taking responsibility for the financial planning and bookkeeping of our family farm,” SEPTEMBER 2011
said Schirm of his future plans. “Working locally will offer off the farm experience and will allow me to save capital to eventually purchase a percentage of our farm.” His parents are also working to help Kyle realize his dream of working on the farm alongside his family, having just recently converted their operation from a sole proprietorship to an LLC to begin the generational succession. Kyle and his sister also have plans to begin a small cheese making operation once they have gained enough collateral through holding jobs off the farm. Once they complete
their expansion and have the facilities, their plan is to market all-natural cheese and yogurt with the Queen of Quality® logo at their local farmers market and grocery stores. “Our community has a large demand for local, naturally-raised products and we plan to take advantage of this niche,” said Schirm. By establishing a product for a niche market, it will provide even more opportunity for the Schirm family to continue farming together. Kyle recognizes the consumer acceptance of the Queen of Quality® and All-Jersey (continued to page 28)

labels, and plans to take advantage of the marketing benefits provided by these Jersey programs. A skill for identifying top animals has also proved beneficial for this Jersey youth as he continues to grow and market his herd. Five times he has placed among the top 20 of the Pot O’Gold contest, his pinnacle being a seventh place finish in 2009. He has also frequented the top 10 list for the national production contest, finishing a best fifth place in 2004. “The Pot O’Gold sale helped me build a great foundation herd, which I’ve recently been marketing to finance my schooling,” said Schirm of how owning Jerseys has impacted his life on numerous levels. He is currently using sexed semen to re-build his herd and compensate for the sales he has been making. His current herd, which consists of 19 cows and 11 heifers, has an average m.e. of 20,313 lbs. milk, 939 lbs. fat and 735 lbs. protein on 11 records. In addition to helping fund his education, Schirm recently completed an internship with Weaver Leather’s livestock sales division, where he credits his background with Jerseys as an excellent precursor to doing such. Also helping develop him as a successful Jersey breeder has been his involvement with showmanship and judging contests. Dating back to a 2005 team win and second place individual finish at the Big E Regional Dairy Judging competition, Kyle has regularly demonstrated his knowledge of the Jersey breed. He built upon his
success the following year taking home a Silver Individual award at the National FFA Dairy Judging Contest. His commitment to the breed extends beyond the tanbark through continuous involvement in the Ohio Junior Jersey Breeders Association, in which he was named Ohio’s Outstanding Boy in 2005 and served as an officer and on the board of directors for the association. Kyle has also taken every opportunity to interact and learn from Jersey breeders across the country through his involvement in the AJCA by being a member of the inaugural class of the Jersey Youth Academy. He was also awarded the 2009 William A. Russell Memorial Scholarship, the 2010 Paul Jackson Scholarship and the 2011 V.L. Peterson Scholarship. Through his quest for a deeper understanding of the dairy industry, Kyle has gained more than financial skills to take back to his family farm. Cassandra Chittenden Cassandra “Cassie” Chittenden, Dutch Hollow Farm, Schodack Landing, N.Y., spent 2010 tackling her first year of college at Cornell University and climbing the ranks of the National Youth Achievement Contest, landing three spots higher than 2009. Cassie is the daughter of Brian and Beth Chittenden, and granddaughter of Melanie Chittenden and former AJCA president and Distinguished Service honoree, Paul Chittenden. She is currently pursuing a bachelor of science degree in animal science with a focus in dairy science,
with plans to adopt an agribusiness minor. Cassie is a member of the Cornell University Dairy Science Club and the New York State Junior Dairy leaders. In addition to climbing the ranks of the achievement contest, Cassie has grown her Jersey herd to 25 heifers and 28 cows. The 2010 m.e. production on 20 records was 21,855 lbs. milk, 1,101 lbs. fat and 772 lbs. Chittenden protein. She has regularly placed in the New York, New England and national youth production contests since 2001, winning production titles in the New York contest, the New England contest and placing four times in the national contest, including the 2010 contest. It seems others have also noticed the quality of Cassie’s animals, as she has sent five bulls into A.I. and sold a heifer in the Pot O’Gold Sale. Along with awards for her outstanding Jerseys, she has also won numerous for her “master” showman skills. Cassie has been named Master Showperson of the Columbia County (NY) fair three times and had the same honor bestowed upon her during the Delaware County (NY) Parish Show. At the age of 10, she was named the Reserve Master Showperson of the Columbia County (NY) Fair, a title she took home on two additional occasions. “Jerseys have been my passion ever since I was a little girl and continue to influence my future goals,” said Chittenden on the influence the Jersey breed has had on her life. Although she has had immense success with the Jersey breed, her accomplishments are broad ranging. Cassie served as the Columbia County (NY) Jersey Princess and has been a member of the Columbia County Dairy Promotion board. She is a member of her district and state Jersey club and the AJCA. She took second place in the 2006 TalkJersey competition— capturing first place in 2008, and was on the first place team from the Jersey Youth Challenge at the 2009 AJCA-NAJ Annual Meetings. This busy youth was also chosen to take part in the inaugural class of the Jersey Youth Academy and participated in a youth roundtable for the September 2008 Jersey Journal. Adding to her list of Jersey success is the quality Cassie has brought to the tanbark. The word “champion” is a yearly (continued to page 30)

accomplishment for this youth. During the 2010 All American Junior Show, she exhibited numerous animals, including a high PA protein winner in the junior two-year-old class. In 2003, 2005 and 2007, she exhibited the Supreme Junior Champion at the Columbia County (NY) 4-H show and even the Supreme Senior Champion in 2003. She has exhibited the Reserve Grand Champion of The Big E Junior Show, Columbia County (NY) 4-H Show and the Columbia County (NY) Open Show. As she continues to grow as a student and dairy producer, Cassie plans to take advantage of as many opportunities as possible to help her learn more about the many facets of the dairy industry. She plans to complete an on-the-farm internship before entering her sophomore year, and spend her spring semester of 2012 abroad in New Zealand to further explore dairy options throughout the world. Kelli Ann Carstensen One of six winners from 2009 to also place in the 2010 National Youth Achievement contest is Kelli Ann Carstensen, Petaluma, Calif. While this Jersey youth might have taken the long route to owning her herd of brown cows, the result has been just as successful as her peers. As the first person in her immediate family to ever be involved with the dairy industry, Kelli received her first Jersey as a gift from a family friend in Oregon. Sweet Laddie is now 11-years-old and is appraised Very Good-83% and has produced five offspring Carstensen for this young breeder’s herd. Not only was “Laddie” the first Jersey cow for Kelli, she was the foundation animal for the herd now boasting 12 heifers, 19 cows and one bull. In addition to “Laddie,” Kelli was also given her two younger sisters, Frosty Tilli, Very Good-88%, and Kellis Lilly of the Valley, Very Good-87%. “Tilli” and “Lilly” have excelled in the herd as well, producing five and three offspring, respectively. Carstensen’s home-grown herd has also flourished in the show ring, winning numerous best bred by exhibitor awards and many production awards. Through a steady breeding plan in addition to the gifts of “Sweetie,” “Tilli,” Page 30
and “Lilly,” Kelli had never purchased an animal until recent years. Her accumulation of Jersey cows has been on her own account and is completed self-financed. With the exception of the feed costs for the milk string, which is paid in exchange for fluid milk, she covers breeding, feed, veterinary and all other expenses. She also manages her own rations and makes all A.I. breeding decisions. The 2010 m.e. average on Kelli’s herd was 16,102 lbs. milk, 594 lbs. fat and 532 lbs. protein on 13 records. Kelli had her first Excellent scored animal, Sweet Iatola Sydney of KC, Excellent-90%, in addition to 10 appraised as Very Good in 2010. “Every decision on the herd is mine and ran by my approval and scheduling,” said Kelli. “I have fed each animal from birth and know each one like the back of my hand.” Kelli recently began an embryo project, buying two embryos from Canada. One resulted in a heifer she plans to flush with plans to sell embryos of her own. She has also found a niche market to send her product to as she raises family milk cows to sell to people looking for a more sustainable way of life. Through this project, she has been able to help finance her education at Cal Poly. Kelli just finished her sophomore year at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. She is currently studying dairy science with minor in agricultural business. After obtaining her bachelor’s degree, Kelli hopes to attend law school, maintaining her focus on the agricultural sector. Although she aspires to develop a career as a lawyer, she still hopes to one day establish her own Registered Jersey dairy. “I love my Jerseys,” said Kelli. “They are my passion and my life revolves around them.” She is a strong believer in the benefit and efficiency of Jersey cows in comparison to all other breeds, and encourages Jersey owners of all kind to promote the breed, especially during times of such strong growth. Kelli has not only developed a strong herd of Jersey cows, she has increased her understanding of the dairy industry. She has been a 4-H and FFA club officer and consistent winner in local judging contests and showmanship competitions, placing ninth in the National FFA judging contest and winning the Fresno State FFA Dairy Cattle Field Day judging contest. She has also been an active junior member of the California Junior Jersey Cattle Association and AJCA in addition to school and community organizations, even though she completed high school in just three
years. Kelli was recently awarded the Jack C. Nisbet Memorial Scholarship from the AJCA. What started as a gift, resulted in a way of life for Kelli Ann Carstensen. As she continues to grow her herd, her ambitions for the dairy industry and the Jersey cow increase simultaneously. Stacey Theobald Another familiar name to the National Youth Achievement Contest is Stacey Theobald, Riverside-F Farm, Waymart. The daughter of Charles and Amy Theobald just completed her freshman year at Penn State University where she is studying animal science with a business option. Stacey currently has a herd of 17 heifers and 18 cows. The m.e. for her herd in 2010 was 16,948 lbs. milk, 902 lbs. fat and 684 lbs. protein on 18 lactations. She is a recurring competitor to the Pennsylvania and AJCA production contests, placing as high as fourth in the Pennsylvania competition. The Jersey cow has also helped this Nittany Lion realize her career goals. After graduation, she plans to return to her family farm and work on expanding their current operation. She would like to milk more cows and increase the genetic value of their herd. Stacey Theobald would also like to work on promoting and advertising their newly constructed family creamery along with their dairy business. “I have marketed several of my own home-grown genetics throughout the U.S., and that has allowed me to watch my decisions grow and prosper, not to mention help me pay some college bills,” said Stacey of how the Jersey cow has helped shaped her future. Along with an emphasis on developing dairy products, Stacey also places great value on advancing Jersey genetics. “The breed possesses functional type traits, calving ease, grazing ability, and is adaptable to different environmental conditions,” said Stacey of the value the Jersey cow possesses. “Research must continue to advance Jersey breeders into the next century. With positive support, aggressive leaders in the industry, the latest research and a strong youth program the Jersey breed could rise to the top of the industry.” (continued to page 32)

Stacey has seen genetic growth first hand in her own herd. During her most recent appraisal she had four Excellent cows and 13 Very Good cows of the 18 scored. Also scored “excellent” are the showmanship skills of the Jersey youth. Her most recent feat comes from the 2009 Northeast (PA) District Dairy Show in which she was named the Pennsylvania Master Exhibitor—a title she has garnered five times total. As an exhibitor at the Wayne County (PA) Fair, Stacey has twice been named the Grand Champion Showman and has a trifecta of Reserve Grand Champion Showman wins at the same venue. It is not just the showmanship skills of this Jersey youth that have garnered recognition, it is also her animals. In 2005 and 2008, she held the halter for the Grand and Reserve Champions at the Northeast (PA) District Dairy Show, accomplishing the same effort at the 2008 Wayne County (PA) Fair. She has also been a regular and successful exhibitor in the Pennsylvania All-American Dairy Show, Premier National Junior Show and The All American Jersey Show. “The Jersey cow, along with 4-H, has
Page 32
opened many doors for me,” said Stacey. “I have been able to build a strong resume with all of the activities associated with the Jersey breed.” No matter if she is in the barn, at the halter, in class or searching for ways to improve her family farm and creamery, Stacey will continue to maintain a high level or performance for her cows, and herself as a representative for the dairy industry. Cassandra N. Krull Making her first appearance among the top 10 list is Cassandra “Cassy” N. Krull, Shining Star Dairy Cattle, Lake Mills, Wis., placing sixth. “Shining Star” is probably a very accurate description of how Cassy views her brown cows, having asked Santa to bring her a Jersey calf for Christmas when she was three-years-old. There has been no turning back since Saint Nicholas brought her exactly what she wanted, and she has continued to grow her herd alongside her family’s worldrenowned Holstein herd. She currently has a herd of seven cows and four heifers, one being Excellent and three Very Good, and a 2010 herd m.e. average of 16,352 lbs. milk, 876 lbs. fat and 592 lbs. protein on five records. Among her Jersey girls, Cassy also has
10 registered Holsteins to her name. Cassy will soon begin her freshman year at Allen Community College, Iola, Kan., with plans to transfer to Kansas State Krull University where she will be studying Agribusiness with a marketing and communications emphasis. Upon completing her degree she would like to return to her family farm, Krull Farms, and follow in her late-father’s footsteps. “After the loss of my father in August, 2010, I have realized that farming and agriculture is where I belong,” said Cassy. “I do not see myself anywhere else but following my father’s footsteps as a successful young dairy farmer and agriculture enthusiast.” Although her main objective is to obtain her degree and return to the farm, Cassy has many ambitions for what she can give back to the Jersey breed and association. Having just served as the Wisconsin State Jersey Queen and completed her inaugural run for National Jersey Queen, she has
JERSEY JOURNAL
high hopes for what the next few years will bring. She plans to running for the “Alice in Dairyland” agriculture ambassador title, again run for National Jersey Queen and one day serve on her state and the state and national Jersey board of directors. She wants to continue learning as much as possible about the breed and industry and taking part in as many Jersey-related activities as possible. Those ambitions have carried her through many tasks and adventures during her youth. On top of numerous show winnings from her county fair, the Wisconsin Parish 2 show, Cassy is a regular on the show circuit, including the Wisconsin State Fair, Kansas State Fair, Central National Jersey Show, Southern National Show, Midwest Spring Show, the All American Jersey Show and the National Jersey Jug Futurity. Along that same show circuit, Cassy has cultivated some laurels for her excellent showmanship skills. Most recently, she topped the senior division of the Jefferson County fair in both the showmanship and fitting contests, before being named the Supreme Champion Showman of the fair. She also placed among the top five showman during World Dairy Expo, the Wisconsin State Fair, FFA showmanship contests, and the Southern National Show—where she was also named the Supreme Champion showman. In addition to showmanship and fitting contests, Cassy has also done very well with FFA Career Development Events, and judging and classification competitions. She has also spent time honing her presentation and public speaking skills as Junior Chair of the “Ag in the Classroom” group for the Jefferson (WI) County area. As she begins her studies at Allen Community College this fall, Cassy is just beginning a new chapter of her life, and a new chapter with Jerseys. With ambitions that span the nation, Cassy Krull no longer needs to ask Santa for help, she has all the tools necessary to have a successful career with dairy.
dairy industry, this Jersey youth excels at breeding production cows. Kara has placed among the Top 20 participants in the Pot O’Gold Production Contest three times, with her Maxwell highest finish being 10th in 2009. She also has a cow, Paramount Sue, Excellent-90%, which placed ninth in the National Jersey Youth Production Contest in 2008, and two cows receive Hall of Fame recognition from the AJCA in 2009. Also in 2009, Kara has the Iowa State Fair Top Production and Combined Fat and Protein Record of the Jersey youth dairy show with her cow Cinnamon Ridge Impuls Pepper. She takes the development of her herd very seriously and has worked tirelessly to develop a plan to achieve her dairy goals. As the manager of Cinnamon Ridge’s breeding program, Kara’s goal is to make sure the heifers freshen between 22 and 24 months of age. She is also a proponent of incorporating new technology into their farm management program. “With new genomic evaluations, my
goal is nearer to being reached,” said Kara, adding that genomics have found a place in the Cinnamon Ridge herd. “Most importantly, genomics provides the chance for new cows and herd to be uncovered and influence the Jersey breed. Genomics is definitely the key to the future of dairy, and the Jersey breed will benefit greatly by getting involved in this tremendous discovery.” In addition to developing highproducing Jersey cows, Kara has a knack for showmanship and judging contests— having won three contests in both 2009 and 2010, among previous year’s wins and accomplishments in those distinctions. She is also a regular on the local show circuit, exhibiting and winning classes from county fairs to the Iowa State Fair, even taking home the Supreme Grand Champion dairy female at the Mississippi Valley Fair (IA) in 2010. In addition to caring for her Jersey herd, Kara has many extra-curricular activities to tend to. She is active in 4-H, FFA, her local church, her high school band, soccer and basketball teams, and has received numerous academic accolades, including being accepted into the National Honor Society. Kara was also chosen as a delegate to the prestigious Hugh (continued to page 34)
Kara Maxwell Making her first appearance in the National Jersey Youth Achievement Contest is the youngest of all the winners, Kara Maxwell, Donahue, Iowa. Kara is the daughter of John Maxwell, Cinnamon Ridge Jerseys, and just began her senior year at North Scott High School. With 24 heifers and 22 cows constructing her Jersey herd, Kara has had a very active career with Jerseys. The 2010 m.e. on her 17-cow herd was 21,445 lbs. milk, 1,069 lbs. fat and 781 lbs. protein. Although she participates across many fronts in the SEPTEMBER 2011

O’Brian Youth Leadership Conference, held at the University of California-Los Angeles campus. Kara credits much of her wide-ranging success to the skills and work-ethic she learned growing up on a Registered Jersey dairy. “From a young age I was expected to pull my own weight on the farm,” said Kara of the benefits of living on a farm. “This in turn taught me to always put my best effort forward—the cattle do not benefit from sloppiness, and punctuality— because the cattle are rarely understanding of a late meal.” The ultimate goal for this young Jersey breeder, simply put, is to continue growing and developing as a producer, as the genetic merit and quality of her herd continues the same. She plans to employ the same work effort and perseverance she has thus developed, to learn more about the many facets of the dairy industry, still while keeping her eye on the definitive prize. “Ultimately, I hope to have the top breed in the Jersey industry,” said Kara. “My time, inspiration, determination and dreams will get me there.” Tera Koebel Placing eight in the 2010 National Youth Achievement contest is Tera Koebel, Three Oaks, Mich., who is making her first appearance on the top 10 list. Tera is the daughter of Terry and Jennie Koebel, Tri-Koebel Holsteins and Jerseys, and is a junior at Michigan State
University (MSU) where she is studying Agribusiness Management. This Jersey youth has bred, shown and sold an impressive list of high-quality animals during her 11 years with exhibiting the brown cows. Tera has had two cows place within the top five of the National Jersey Youth Production Contest, a cow produce a Hall of Fame Production Koebel Record, and had a fourth place finish in the Pot O’Gold Production Contest. She has been able to sell her animals at the state, national and international level, including selling a heifer that ended up placing third in the 2010 Pot O’Gold contest. Also in 2010, Tera exhibited the Overall Premier Performance Cow of The All American Junior and Open Jersey Shows. However, Tera has a good bit more to show for her efforts than purple ribbons and banners. “As a result of showing and marketing my animals I have learned how to manage my finances and make sound investments,” said Tera. “For example, last year I purchased two Registered Jerseys that both won at The [2010] All American Jersey Show.” The show winnings for this Jersey youth goes beyond the tanbark of The All American show, where she most recently had the Junior Champion, All American Junior Yearling, All American Four-Year-
Old Cow, all in the open show. Also in 2010 show laurels, Tera exhibited the Reserve Junior Champion of the Central National Junior Show, the Junior and Senior champions of the Michigan Dairy Expo open show and Reserve Grand Champion of the junior show. In addition, she exhibited the Supreme Champion of the Michigan Youth Livestock Expo and the Senior and Grand Champion of the Great Lakes Spring Show, all in 2010. It is no surprise Tera has had so much success in the show ring, as she currently has eight Excellent cows and six Very Good cows after her 2010 appraisal. Her cows do much more than show well though; the 2010 m.e. average for her herd was 16,201 lbs milk, 760 lbs. fat and 585 lbs. protein on five records. Tera also owns 44 Holsteins. “From working with other employees on the day-to-day farm operations, to celebrating a victory in the national show ring, I have discovered that the key to success is being able to work as a team,” said Tera of the continued benefits of her dairy activities. “The life skills that I have developed through my career with Jerseys have translated into success as I am a confident leader at my school and in my community.” Those leadership skills have served Tera well throughout her youth and into her college years at MSU. Throughout her high school career she served as president of her alma mater’s National Honor Society, served as a captain for her basketball and soccer teams, was the Rotary Youth Leadership Camp delegate, attended a summer leadership seminar and cadet candidate at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, she was named a delegate for the American Legion Auxiliary Girl’s State, and was a regular winner in Business Professionals of America competitions. Most recently, Tera competed for the National Jersey Queen crown and was ultimately named the First Alternate National Jersey Queen. She is also a member of the Sigma Alpha Sorority at MSU, where she is involved in a multitude of agricultural clubs and organizations. Her current ambitions and goals lie outside the U.S. borders, however. Having completed two study abroad experiences, she aspires to take her studies to an international level and work for a large agriculture company. No matter if it is on the tanbark, in the sale ring or on the production lists, Tera Koebel has set her sights high for herself and within the dairy industry.

in the country is ninth place winner, Avery Lutz, Mocksville, N.C., who also placed in the top 10 of the 2009 competition. Avery just finished her second year at New River Community College where she is enrolled in the transfer program, with plans to later attend Virginia Tech to study dairy science and agricultural communications. The 20-year-old daughter of Wayne and Karen Lutz, Deerview Jersey Farm, is anxious to learn all she can about the dairy industry through the completion of multiple internships and experiences. To help supplement her classroom and field education, she would like to travel overseas to explore the different ideas and practices of foreign dairy markets. The interest this Jersey youth has in the dairy industry is deep-seeded, having been involved in state and national youth programs the majority of her life. Her current herd consists of 14 heifers and 22 cows and had an average milk production of 21,514 lbs. in 2010. She recognizes solid producing cows, having placed 7th in the National Youth Production Contest in 2009, and receiving the Biltmore Farm Trophy for high producing cows older than three years of age. “I believe the most important goal for
Page 36
the Jersey breed and it’s owners is to focus on the Jersey youth and the continued breed development of programs and the opportunities available,” said Avery. Avery is not just standing by and waiting for others to continue developing the breed though, Lutz as she has taken advantage of many opportunities to contribute to such. She served on the planning committee for the 2010 All American Jersey Junior Show and the 2008 committee for the AJCA-NAJ annual meetings held in North Carolina. In 2009, she attended the Inaugural Jersey Youth Academy and helped plan the National 4-H Dairy Youth Conference. Avery also competes in showmanship and judging contests, both venues of success for this Jersey youth. In 2009, she was named the first place senior showman of The All American showmanship contest. In 2007 she was the first high individual for the North Carolina Dairy Judging Contest and the FFA state judging contest, where she was additionally named first
high in reasons. The same year, she was the North Carolina District showmanship winner and placed Gold at the National FFA Convention Dairy Handlers contest. She continued her success in 2008, when she placed first in the Southwest District Showmanship contest and placed second high in reasons during the North Carolina FFA Judging Contest. Avery has also taken time to develop a successful show string, continuing her success onto the tanbark. You can find her at the halter during numerous contests during show season. Her most recent feat was a Grand Champion banner at the North Carolina State Fair Junior Show in 2009, in addition to taking home the Best Three females of the North Carolina State Fair Open Show that same year. Although she has seen much success with Jerseys, one of her most successful years to date was 2008, in which she held the title Grand Champion on two occasions, Reserve Grand Champion three times, Junior Champion two times and took home a Reserve Junior Champion on the local and state levels. Avery has been a regular in the ring for The All American Jersey Show, Northwest District Dairy Show, North Carolina State Fair Junior and Open shows, the Dixie Classic Open and Junior Shows, Rowan

County (NC) Fair, Cabarras County (NC) Fair and the Southwest District Dairy Show. When Avery’s great, great-grandfather purchased his first Jersey cow more than 100 years ago little did he know it would continue to be a passion for future generations of the Lutz family, and currently for Avery. She has been actively caring for and exhibiting quality Jersey cows since owning her first Pot O’Gold heifer at the age of three. While she looks forward to her academic career, she can be sure she has the passion and drive to carry her through all endeavors. Corbin Wood Rounding out the top 10 National Jersey Youth Achievement Winners is newcomer Corbin Wood of Penn Gate Farm, Littlestown, Pa. Corbin, the son of Steve and Christine Wood, just finished his freshman year at Penn State where he is studying building construction and technology. Although Corbin is a fourth generation dairy farmer, he was the inaugural member of his family to own Jerseys at Penn Gate Farm, where his parents house 60head of Holsteins. Corbin purchased his first Jersey more than a decade ago, and has bred, owned and developed 25 head of Jerseys since. “I always wantWood ed to go down my own path, make my own mark, and carve out my own future and Jerseys were a natural fit for me as a scrawny little nine-yearold kid,” said Corbin, who has even helped finance his higher education through the marketing of his Jersey cattle. “It has been even more rewarding for me because I had to finance my Jersey projects completely with personal savings and income.” While he learned valuable financial management skills from his Jersey roots, Corbin was also able to carve out his own niche in his family business with his Jersey herd, which currently consists of six cows and six heifers. While growing up, when
SEPTEMBER 2011
not feeding the calves or doing chores around the dairy, Corbin spent time tinkering in his grandfather’s shop, where he learned a plethora of building skills, which are now being fine tuned at Penn State. “My long range plans include running my own agricultural building construction business that would specialize in milking parlors, freestall barns, machinery sheds and tie stall facilities,” said Corbin of his future plans. “I feel that my farm background and familiarity in wood, metal and concrete construction make this a viable option for me, and I can also help farmers expand and renovate their operations.” With his family farm being located in an area that is not ideal for farm expansion, Corbin realized he would need to diversify some in order to stay viable. He is hoping his building construction venture will work well into his plans to keep a small herd of Jerseys on their family farm, in addition to their growing summer produce business. Corbin has also developed a knack for showmanship and fitting, both of which he regularly competes in competitions for. Through his involvement with FFA and 4-H, Corbin was able to showcase his showmanship skills on both the state and national levels. He earned a gold award during the National FFA Convention fitting and showmanship contest in 2008 and was the first place winner of the Pennsylvania State FFA Convention dairy showmanship contest. In 2010 Corbin was named the senior and overall champion of the District Colored Breeds showmanship and fitting contest, where he was named the reserve senior champion in 2009. These are skills Corbin worked hard to perfect, having taken time to learn and help with show strings from various other area farms as they prepared for regional and national shows. Judging contests, essay contests, display contests and speech contests have also been an area of excellence for this youth where he has been able to offer his expertise to hundreds of listeners. In 2010, Corbin took home first place laurels on both the state and national level for his dairy youth folding display, “Chocolate Milk Makes a Splash in Sports Recovery.” He also placed second and third, respectively, in the state and national prepared speech contests,
with his speech “Chocolate Milk, the New Sports Drink Sensation.” While Jerseys might not have been the first breed of cows penned at Penn Gate Farm, they are on the forefront for Corbin, and are an integral part of his future plans. “I have learned to work hard and make my ‘brown cow’ dream a reality in the past decade and I realize that my dedication will be vital to the future success of Penn Gate Farm.” Winners of the National Jersey Youth Achievement Contest 1957 1958 1959 1960 1961 1962 1963 1964 1965 1966 1967 1968 1969 1970 1971 1972 1973 1974 1975 1976 1977 1978 1979 1980 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010

the 2010 New York Spring Carousel Junior Jersey Show. She has come by her fancy type naturally and transmitted it to her progeny. Her dam is Excellent-93% and her full sister, owned by Sterling, is Excellent-92%. “Fenola’s” daughter, AF Furor Fudge, Excellent-91%, stood with her dam in the spotlight at the New York Spring Carousel Junior Show in 2010 as she was tapped as Intermediate and Grand Champion. For these and other reasons, “Fenola” is Page 40
one of Tucker’s favorites. “She has a terrific disposition,” noted Tucker. “Anyone can work with her and lead her around with just the chain around her neck. She’s a deep-bodied, powerful cow and her udder is phenomenal even after six calves.” Tucker has been an integral part of the family farm for the past 11 years, getting his feet wet with milking when he was just seven. Today, he milks with his dad in the morning and Sterling in the evening. He lends a hand in every aspect of herd management and is a self-described jack-of-alltrades. Tucker is a home-schooled senior
who plans to pursue a career in dairying on the family farm. He attended Jersey Youth Academy in July. He has a good start on his herd, with 20 head of Registered Jerseys in his ownership at Ardent Farms. Sisters Amy and Kara Maxwell, Donahue, Iowa, placed second in Division II with their entry, Cinnamon Ridge Roulette Katy. “Katy” produced a record with a dollar value of $5,089.41 and an m.e. of 28,148–1,374–1,054. Actual production on the 3-10 record was 24,420 lbs. milk, 1,231 lbs. fat and 935 lbs. protein. The daughter of Bush River Avery JERSEY JOURNAL
Roulette-ET, GJPI +58, is appraised Desirable-78%. Like “Fenola,” she embodies the Jersey reproductive efficiency and profitability. She turned five in November 2010 and has calved four times and given her owners three heifer calves. Two of her records are over 21,000 lbs. milk and have fat tests of 4.8% and 5.0% and protein tests of 3.8%. Both Amy and Kara have placed in the National Jersey Youth Production Contest in the past and been active in the Pot O’Gold program. Amy is the 2011 recipient of the Fred Stout Experience Award and has been working this summer at High Lawn Farm, Lee, Mass. Kara attended the second Jersey Youth Academy and placed seventh in the 2010 National Youth Achievement Contest. See page 33 for more information on Kara. A cow that is a herdmate to “Katy” and has ranked in the National Youth Production Contest the past three years placed third in this year’s contest. Cinnamon Ridge Artis Praise, owned by Amy, produced a record with a dollar value of $4,719.36 and an m.e. of 26,074–1,300–956. Actual production is 5-0 305 26,960 4.9% 1,331 3.6% 970 102DCR. The Very Good-87% daughter of ISDK Jas Artist, GJPI +176, is ranked #79 for JPI with an index of +170 (August 2011). She is a product of the Pot O’Gold program, as Amy purchased her dam, Woodstock Hallmark Louisa, in the Pot O’Gold Sale in 2002. Wisconsin junior Wade Kessenich, De Forest, placed fourth in Division II with his entry, Gil-Bar Sparkler Juliann. The Excellent-93% daughter of Gil-Bar Unique Sparkler, JPI -157, produced a 5-8 record with a dollar value of $4,554.09 and an m.e. of 23,572–1,377–843. Actual production on the record is 28,620 lbs. milk, 1,747 lbs. fat and 1,001 lbs. protein (3x milking). “Juliann” was Grand Champion of the Central National Jersey Junior Show in 2008 and won the Stargazer Jerseys Trophy for high protein production among juniorowned cows in Wisconsin in 2010. Rounding out the top five placings in Division II of the National Jersey Youth Production Contest is another cow that has placed in the contest before—QueenAcres Fargo Ambers Present, owned by Amber M. Lippy, Union Bridge, Md. “Present” produced a 4-8 record with a dollar value of $4,522.21 and an m.e. of 25,569–1,226–924. In her third lactation, the Very Good-82% daughter of Queen Acres Golden Fargo-ET, JPI +2, produced 24,750 lbs. milk, 1,209 lbs. fat and 905 lbs. protein actual. She comes by her high production naturally as her dam is the reigning Leading (continued to page 42)

grader in the Newark Valley school system and has been active in 4-H for six years. His herd of Registered Jerseys numbers eight cows and 10 heifers. He earned purple banners for Grand Champion and Reserve Grand Champion at the Broome County Fair (N.Y.) this summer. Though he appreciates the cows, he is especially passionate about crops and machinery and quick to lend a hand with field work on the family farm in the south central part of the state. Normandell Geronimo Violet, owned by Ryan, placed second to her herdmate with a dollar value of $5,010.02 on her first lactation. The m.e. of the 1-11 record is 28,666–1,365–1,013 and actual production is 21,870 lbs. milk, 1,068 lbs. fat and 778 lbs. protein. “Violet” has subsequently produced another record of 3-0 305 24,870 4.9% 1,222 3.7% 908 102DCR. She is sired by C-Bar Hallmark Geronimo, GJPI +76, and appraised Very Good-83%. Ryan purchased “Violet” at the Pennsylvania Pot of Gold Sale in 2007 from Normandell Farms, Liberty, Pa. Like his brother’s purchase, “Violet” topped the ensuing state production contest for Ryan in 2010. Ryan is in sixth grade and the budding cow person at Lawton’s Jersey Farm. “Ryan would spend all summer at the fair if he could figure a way to work it,” noted his father, Tim Lawton. In addition to regular chores on the dairy, he diligently cares for the show heifers, which have been separated from the rest of the herd for the show season. Ryan is active in 4-H and earned second place in showmanship at the Broome County Fair this summer. His herd of Registered Jerseys includes “Violet” and her two daughters (both results of sexed semen) and 13 other head. Juniors from the Big Apple State earned the next four positions in the division for first-lactation cows. Three of them hail from Dutch Hollow Farm in Schodack Landing. Cassandra L. Chittenden placed third with her entry, Dutch Hollow Impact Guppy. She produced a record with a dollar value of $4,851.04 and an m.e. of 29,908–1,279–985. Actual production on the record is 25,040 lbs. milk, 1,079 lbs. fat and 806 lbs. protein (3x milking).

ing Living Lifetime Production Contest three times beginning in 2004. “Guppy’s” granddam, Dutch Hollow Bistar Gumdrop, placed in the youth production contest in 2004. Another member of Cassie’s “G” cow family—Dutch Hollow Tidy Gabriella—ranked in the youth production contest in 2007. Cassie is a freshman at Cornell University majoring in animal science. She was one of two New York juniors to attend the second Jersey Youth Academy and placed third in the 2010 National Youth Achievement Contest. See page 28 for more information on Cassie. Katherine Elizabeth DeWitt, Accord, N.Y., ranked fourth with her entry, Dominos DeBoer Biscayne. The Very Good-82% daughter of DeBoer Cindys Paramount Prince 1-ET, GJPI +55, produced a record with a dollar value of $4,682.76 and an m.e. of 29,034–1,203–975 at 2-1. Actual production on the record is 22,190 lbs. milk, 851 lbs. fat and 737 lbs. protein. Katherine is a fellow freshman at Cornell with Cassie, enrolled in the university’s Page 46

pre-vet program. She got her start in the business at age five, when she began showing at the county fair. She has placed two other times in the youth production contest as well with homebred animals. Cassie’s cousin, Maxwell Chittenden, rounds out the top five rankings of Division I of the National Youth Production Contest with his entry, Dutch Hollow Jacinto Anna. In her first lactation at 1-8, she produced a record with a dollar value of $4,495.05 and an m.e. of 25,186–1,247–898. Actual production stands at 19,760 lbs. milk, 1,107 lbs. fat and 720 lbs. protein (3x milking). “Anna” is appraised Very Good-85% and sired by Mason Lemvig Jacinto-ET, GJPI +53. She has helped to grow the equity of the 13-year-old’s herd with two lactations and two heifer calves. Max’s herd of Registered Jerseys currently numbers nearly 20 head in all. Like his siblings and cousins, Max plays a key role in the operation of Dutch Hollow Farm, assisting with chores wherever help is needed. He especially enjoys working with machinery and is his Uncle Brian’s righthand man in the fields. The eighth-grader enjoys soccer and basketball off the farm.
Other juniors who will be recognized for placing in Division I of the National Jersey Youth Production Contest are: Emily Chittenden, Schodack Landing, N.Y.; Brandon Russell King, Creston, Ohio; Meagan Chittenden, Schodack Landing, N.Y.; Korri Ann Briggs, Campbellsville, Ky.; and Tera Koebel, Three Oaks, Mich. Other juniors who will be honored for placing in Division II are: Cristopher Rocha, Tillamook, Ore.; Lars William Russell, Hilmar, Calif.; Theresa Sweeney, Visalia, Calif; Tyler C. Kirchdoerfer, Cape Girardeau, Mo.; and Derek Sokolowski, De Forest, Wis. Pot O’Gold Production Contest Since its inception in 1958, the Pot O’Gold Sale has offered youth between the ages of seven and 20 the opportunity to purchase genetically-superior heifers from top herds across the country. A percentage of the sale gross (varying from 7-25% over the years) is set aside in a fund and held for three years to provide cash awards for the juniors whose heifers complete the highest records for dollar value. In 2008, the Pot O’Gold program offered 31 heifers to juniors in the Pot O’Gold Sale in Louisville, Ky. From the sale of those heifers, $17,952 was set aside in the fund to pay out this year. It will be distributed as follows: first prize, 18%; second, 11.5%; third, 8%; fourth, 6.5%; fifth, 6%; sixth, 5.5%; seventh, 5%; eighth, 4.5%; ninth and 10th, 4%; 11th-13th, 3%; 14th-16th, 2.5% each; 17th-19th, 2.0%; and 20th-22nd, 1.5%. To qualify for competition in the Pot O’Gold Production Contest, heifers must calve before they reach 30 months-of-age, be tested in a DHI herd owned by the purchaser or his or her parents, and have a Data Collection Rating of 90 or higher. Loss, death or transfer of ownership of any purchase before the record is complete eliminates the heifer from competition. This year, 26 entries met the qualifications to compete in the 2011 edition of the contest. The average m.e. production on these entries is 20,986–990–740 and the average dollar value is $3,649.36. Like the National Youth Production Contest, rankings are based on dollar value. As mentioned previously, the winner of the 2011 Pot O’Gold Production Contest is Kaila Wussow. In her first lactation, her entry, Rocha Iatola Whistle-ET, produced a record with a dollar value of $4,662.73. The Very Good-85% daughter of SC Gold Dust Paramount Iatola-ET, GJPI +85, produced a record of 1-8 288 3x 21,630 4.4% 948 3.3% 704 94DCR. Kaila joins an elite group of just seven other juniors who have topped the Pot O’Gold Production more than once. She JERSEY JOURNAL
also took top honors in the 2008 Pot O’Gold Production Contest with Ahlem Jace Charm 15069-ET. With the same record, “Charm” won the 2007 National Youth Production Contest. Though the outcome of the contest is a secret until the junior receives a letter in the mail, this time around, the news was an especially big surprise for the 15-year-old from the Badger State. “I couldn’t believe I had won—and neither could anyone else,” said Kaila. “When I told my mom and dad, they said, ‘Are you sure?’ We all assumed my brother, Colin, was more likely to win with his heifer, ‘Dixie,’ than me with ‘Whistle.’” It was a safe bet since Colin’s purchase, Gabys Restore Dixie, the high selling individual in sale history at the time, made an outstanding record herself as a junior two-year-old and wound up placing ninth in the competition. In the end, it was “Whistle’s” components and younger calving age that propelled her past her herdmate and to the top of the contest. She was a consistent producer all through her lactation, peaking at 87 lbs. milk on her fourth test and dropping below 70 lbs. milk for just one test—her last one. “I guess this goes to show, you just never know how things will turn out,” Kaila summed.
SEPTEMBER 2011
Kaila will make money this year as she purchased “Whistle” for $3,000 in the 2008 sale from Cris and Doris Rocha, Tillamook, Ore., and will receive a check for $3,231.36 for winning the contest. The transaction almost didn’t happen back in 2008 as Kaila was on hand for the sale to lead heifers and help Colin make a purchase. “When I saw ‘Whistle’ in the ring and took a look at her pedigree, I told my dad, ‘I really like that heifer.’” “Whistle” was among the older heifers offered and safe with calf to BHF-SSF Parade Louie-ET, GJPI +120. She was backed by six Very Good or Excellent dams with top production and a member of the Rocha’s “W” cow family, which included the high selling female at the 2007 Pot O’Gold Sale, Rocha Impuls Whitney, who placed 10th in last year’s contest for Tommy Allen, Reedsburg, Wis. “I had money left from winning the contest with ‘Charm’ so ended up bringing ‘Whistle’ home,” noted Kaila. “Whistle” produced a second lactation of 24,320 lbs. milk, 1,037 lbs. fat and 704 lbs. protein and freshened with her third calf in July. The calf she carried at sale time was a heifer that Kaila named Rochas Louie Winona. “Winona” freshened with her first calf in May 2011. She gave 101 lbs. milk on her fourth test and has a projected m.e.
of 27,994–1,202–932. She has been genotyped with the 3K chip and has a GJPI of +125 (August 2011). Kaila appreciates the support of her parents, Ron and Nicolle, and the opportunity they have given her and Colin to develop their Jersey herd in what had been an allHolstein herd. Today, she owns 35 head of Registered Jerseys, five in partnership with Colin. She is proud to be milking and showing Jerseys of her own breeding, including Kailas Lila, a daughter of her first homebred Excellent. “Lila” was recently named Reserve Junior Champion of the Wisconsin State Junior Show in August. In addition to spending time in the barn, Kaila is active in the show ring with dairy and pigs and secretary for both her local 4-H club and the Wisconsin Junior Jersey Breeders Association. Dorothea “Doré” Riley Baker, Wyoming, N.Y., placed second in the contest with Yosemite Abe Roulette H3288. The daughter of Ahlem Lemvig Abe-ET, GJPI +154, produced a first lactation with a dollar value of $4,534.05. Actual production on the 1-9 record stands at 18,710 lbs. milk, 851 lbs. fat and 628 lbs. protein in 278 days. The choice to bring “Roulette” home rather than another of her peers was a calculated move for Doré, as she studied first (continued to page 48)

first lactation records of the dams of several consignments before settling on “Rou,” as she is now commonly called. As well, paternal sisters to “Rou” were performing well at Hi-Land Farms, where her herd of Registered Jerseys is housed, and she was confirmed pregnant to sexed Sunset Canyon Shawnee-ET, GJPI +122. Doré’s deliberation has proven profitable as “Rou” completed two lactations and freshened with her third calf in April 2011—all before turning four years-of-age in June. She has two daughters in the herd and an m.e. average of 24,292–1,072–837 on her two completed lactations. She was genotyped with the 3K chip and ranks among the top 1.5% of the breed for GJPI with an index of +157 (August 2011). The New York junior purchased “Rou” from Yosemite Jersey Dairy, Hilmar, Calif., for $3,000 and will receive a check in the amount of $2,064.48. Doré was a member of the inaugural Jersey Youth Academy in 2009 and is now a sophomore at New River Community College in Dublin, Va. She plans to transfer to Virginia Tech next fall and major in dairy science. Her herd numbers 25 cows and 20 heifers and includes DRB Valentino Mystic River, who is ranked #58 for GJPI
Page 48
with an index of +229 (August 2011). She is a great granddaughter of one of her initial purchases from The All American Jersey Sale in partnership with fellow New York Jersey breeder, Peter Vail. Eleven-year-old Grant Fremstad, Westby, Wis., is making his debut in the contest ranked third with his purchase, Celestial Iatola Silhouette. The Very Good-82% “Iatola” daughter produced a first lactation with a dollar value of $4,278.04. Actual production is 1-11 305 3x 18,870 5.7% 1,068 4.1% 775 90DCR. Grant purchased “Silhouette” from Scott and Kristin, New Lebanon, N.Y., when he was first eligible for the Pot O’Gold program in 2008. He has since purchased another heifer, GR Oomsdale Triumph Gracey Genelle, from the Pot O’Gold Sale in 2010. These two and a daughter out of “Silhouette” comprise just under half of his herd of seven Registered Jerseys. Grant chose “Silhouette” because she wrote a solid pedigree and was among the higher-type heifers offered. She has turned out to be more than fancy. “She’s a super, trouble-free cow that doesn’t need a lot of attention,” said Grant’s father, Jason. In her second lactation, “Silhouette” produced 24,330 lbs. milk, 1,068 lbs. fat and 775 lbs. protein. She recently freshened with her third calf in July and gave 115 lbs.
milk just 17 days fresh. Grant is a fifth-grader and has been active on the farm and in the show ring for several years. At the recent Wisconsin State Show, he earned the blue ribbon in the intermediate showmanship class and one of his cows, Norse Star Iatola Champagne-ET, topped the senior two-year-old class. Off the farm, Grant plays football and wrestles. Grant will receive a cash prize in the amount of $1,436.16. Another junior making his first appearance in the Pot O’Gold Production Contest is Valery Silva, Beaver, Ore., who placed fourth with his first purchase from the sale, Boyd-Lee Matinee Holly-ET. The Very Good-86% daughter of Sunset Canyon Matinee-ET, GJPI +137, produced a record with a dollar value of $4,205.64. Though she was a relatively expensive purchase at $5,100 (third high of the sale in 2008), Valery has been able to capitalize on his outlay. Actual production for “Holly’s” first lactation is 19,120 lbs. milk, 904 lbs. fat and 655 lbs. protein and she currently ranks among the top 1.5% for GJPI with an index of +144 (August 2011). The calf she carried on sale date, BoydLee T Bone Bruno, GJPI +187, was sold to Genex and is in the organization’s young sire program. She was flushed to Isau Dar(continued to page 56)

JERSEY YOUTH PROGRAMS
Eight Students to Receive $13,500 in Scholarships
E
ight Jersey youth continuing their educations in animal and dairy sciences, veterinary medicine, agribusiness, and evolution, ecology, and organizational biology will receive scholarships totaling $13,500. For the second year the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) has offered this award total, making the past two years the largest offerings made by the association. Youth will receive their awards on November 5, at the Junior Banquet, which concludes the events of Junior Day at The All American Junior Jersey Show in Louisville, Ky. The eight recipients are pursuing higher education at universities and colleges in six states—California, New York, Oregon, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia. This year, 55 students applied for AJCA scholarships. Youth can apply for as many scholarships as they are eligible to compete for. Support for the program comes from eight different funds, managed in perpetuity by the AJCA. In order to make available larger scholarship amounts, Jersey breeders can contribute to the funds at any time by contacting the AJCA at 614/322-4456.
Russell Memorial Scholarships Two scholarships are given to commemorate the late William A. Russell’s lifetime of experience and service to the Jersey breed. The first scholarship, the William A. Russell Memorial Scholarship, was established in his name in 1977 and is designated for students who have completed high school and are beginning their university studies. The second scholarship was established in 2005 and is for students seeking degrees in dairy science, animal science, large animal veterinary practice, dairy production or manufacturing, or dairy product marketing that have completed at least half of their coursework for completion of a degree. In November 2006, the scholarship was renamed the Russell-Malnati Scholarship for Advanced Studies, to honor another long-time supporter of the national Jersey scholarship programs—J. J. “Doc” Malnati of Bush River Jerseys, Newberry, S.C. In only its sixth year of establishment, the scholarship has the distinction of being the largest scholarship offered by the AJCA. Russell-Malnati Scholarship for Advanced Studies Receiving the Russell-Malnati $5,000 Page 50
Scholarship is Theodore (Ted) F. Christoph, Fallon, Nev., a senior at Cornell University in New York. Growing up on a Jersey farm in Nevada, Ted was introduced to the dairy industry at a very young age. His father, Bill, taught him key aspects to carrying out all responsibilities on the dairy and through that interaction he found a passion for the Jersey cow and the dairy industry. In his life goals, he knows these two sectors will be vastly important to him. Ted spent his first two years of higher education studying at Modesto Junior Christoph College (MJC), where he was a member of the MJC Dairy Club, serving as a media officer for the group. During his sophomore year at MJC, Ted took initiative to learn as much as possible about the Jersey industry and began meeting weekly with Ed Fisher, Ahlem Farms Partnership, Hilmar, Calif., to discuss all aspects of the breed and business. Through this friendship Ted was able to further develop his plans for owning his own herd in the future. These diverse interests led him to move across the country and transfer to Cornell University. He joined the Dairy Fellows program, and became involved in the Cornell University Dairy Science (CUDS) organization. As a part of CUDS, Ted has assisted with the annual sale held at the university and the intramural teams put together by group. This summer, with the help of Dr. Michael Van Amburgh, Ted has worked as an intern for Western Milling Company. While employed he is working on a research project to make a model describing volatility in grain prices. In the project, he is exploring how the grain market is also affected on a global basis. Ted is working to graduate from Cornell at the top of his class. He eventually wants to start his own Jersey dairy, ideally close to his home in Nevada. In the long run, Ted aspires to breed a very good herd of Jerseys that give a lot of milk and have great udders, while developing a genetically well-known herd that will supply genetics to numerous
herds across the country. “The only way that I will be successful at starting my own dairy will be to work hard and rely on my past experience from school and from my experiences growing up on a great farm,” said Ted. He also will continue to rely on the strong advice that has been given to him by his mentors and leaders in the Jersey industry. William A. Russell Memorial Scholarship Kira J. Andre, Wauseon, Ohio, has been named the winner of the $1,000 scholarship. She is the daughter of Nathan and Patrice Andre, and is going to be a freshman at The Ohio State University-Agricultural Technology Institute (ATI). Kira first began working with Jerseys when she was eight-years-old and received a heifer that had been part of her grandfather’s herd before it was dispersed. Although her parents were not dairy farmers, this ambitious youth has managed to grow her herd to its current status of 13 head. She has worked tirelessly throughout the years to understand pedigrees and genetics so she could continue to dairy on her own. In order to help her learn, Kira began working Andre at Emmons Dairy LLC, as the calf manager for 60 head of Holstein heifers. She later joined her school FFA to learn more about general agriculture to complement her dairy knowledge. “All the extra work of learning everything on my own, from vaccinations, heat detections, breeding selection and purchasing heifers to clipping and grooming, has made me passionate to learn even more with a college education,” stated Kira in her application. Another outlet Kira took advantage of to help grow her dairy knowledge, was the Ohio Junior Jersey Breeders Association. Upon joining, she became a director, a position she has held for several years, and eventually served the organization as an officer on three separate occasions, including a stint as vice president. Kira was also named the Ohio Jersey Princess, where she (continued to page 52)
JERSEY JOURNAL
SEPTEMBER 2011

Jersey Youth Scholarships (continued from page 50)
had the opportunity to be an ambassador for the Jersey breed. Most recently she was a member of the second Jersey Youth Academy class. While she admits frustrations and growing pains throughout her self-started dairy career, Kira has been fortunate to find peers that have helped her achieve her goals with her Jersey herd. “I am thankful for all of the outstanding people in the Jersey and dairy industry who have been so willing to share their knowledge with me,” said Kira. Reuben Cowles Youth Award The Rueben R. Cowles Youth Award supports a variety of educational experiences for individuals whom are no older than 30 and live in one of six southern states. The trustees of this fund selected James S. (Trey) Huffard IV, Crockett, Va., as the recipient of this $1,000 scholarship. Trey is the son of Jim Huffard, Huffard Dairy Farms, AJCA Master Breeder, former AJCA president, and the cur rent vice president of National All-Jersey Huffard Inc. Trey will be a sophomore at Virginia Tech, where he is studying dairy science, with the intent to return to his family farm after graduation with his father and uncle, John. Trey and his father own 60-head of Jersey cows together, with Trey owning an additional 10 to just his namesake. “Even though I only have my name on a few animals, I like to think that they are all mine,” said Trey of his involvement at Huffard Dairy. “This helps me treat and raise them with extra special care.” The work that Trey is able to do at Huffard Dairy exceeds just raising and milking cows, though. As a Queen of Quality® producer with their bottling plant, there are many opportunities and activities this Jersey youth can take part of and learn more about. The diversification of the dairy has allowed Trey to see and learn about another sector of the dairy industry. Currently at Virginia Tech, Trey is a member of Alpha Gamma Rho, an agriculture based fraternity, and active within the university dairy club. In addition to his dairy science studies, he plans to achieve a minor in crop and soil science. With his freshman year under his belt, and a week spent taking part in the second Jersey Youth Academy, Trey is looking Page 52
forward to learning more about the dairy industry and what he can take back to his farm of Registered Jerseys. Jack C. Nisbet Scholarship The Jack C. Nisbet Memorial Scholarship fund was created in 1965 to honor the AJCA’s seventh Executive Secretary, whom served the organization from 19431947. All nominees for the National Jersey Youth Achievement Contest are eligible for consideration in the year in which they compete in the youth contest. The Nisbet Scholarship of $1,500 will be presented to Kelli Ann Carstensen, Petaluma, Calif. Kelli is beginning her junior year at Cal Poly, after finishing high school in three years, where she is studying dairy science. While Kelli began her dairy career a little different than most, she has been just as successful Carstensen as her counterparts. She received her first Jersey in 2000 from a family friend and has continued to grow the herd to its current size of approximately 25 head of Registered Jerseys. She now has five generations of animals, beginning with that first calf she was gifted more than a decade ago, even though she is the first person in her immediate family to dairy. Kelli has delved into several projects in her short tenure with Jerseys. She recently began an embryo project, buying two embryos from Canada. She has also found a niche market to send her product to as she raises family milk cows to sell to people looking for a more sustainable way of life. Through this project, she has been able to help finance her education at Cal Poly. In addition to her studies at Cal Poly, Kelli is active in the Los Lecheros Dairy Club and captain of the senior collegiate dairy cattle judging team. She has also participated on the ADSA dairy bowl team and was a member of the second class of the Jersey Youth Academy. Kelli is also vice president of the California Junior Jersey Cattle Association. After obtaining her bachelor’s degree, Kelli hopes to attend law school, maintaining her focus on the agricultural sector. Although she aspires to develop a career as a lawyer, she still hopes to one day establish her own Registered Jersey dairy. See page 30 for more information on Carstensen and the youth achievement contest. V. L. Peterson Scholarship The fund commemorating “Vic” Peter-
son, the dean of Jersey area representatives, was established in 1972. The scholarship is available to students who have completed at least one year of college. This year, the $1,000 scholarship will be awarded to Kyle Schirm, West Salem, Ohio. Kyle is beginning his junior year at Ashland University where he is studying finance and accounting with a minor in information systems. “I have chosen these fields instead of dairy science or an agricultural major because I feel a business focused mindset will be an asset in the future, where we will still be dealing with the global economic recovery, volatile commodity prices and will have a need for continuing to manage margins on our farm by understanding our numbers and utilizing tools, like contracting, to lock in prices,” said Schirm. After completing his degree, Kyle has many ambitions for his family farm. His parents recently converted their family farm from a sole proprietorship to an LLC, which will allow an easier succession for Schirm Kyle and his sister, Kristin. With a local demand for locallyproduced food, Kyle plans to eventually start a small cheese processing facility and sell the products to local grocery stores and farmers markets. In the mean time, he plans to continue growing his herd to prepare financially for such an undertaking, citing the importance of their family continuing to work together and making their operation successful. This year, Kyle placed second in the National Youth Achievement Contest, having also placed in the contest the two previous years and previously received the William A. Russell and Paul Jackson Memorial Scholarships. On the national level, he was a member of the inaugural class of the Jersey Youth Academy. Through his involvement in 4-H and local, state and state Jersey cattle clubs and the AJCA, Kyle has garnered a wealth of knowledge about the Jersey breed and business, skills that will propel him into further success. See page 27 for more information on Schirm and the youth achievement contest. Paul Jackson Memorial Scholarship This fund was created in 1965 to honor Paul Jackson’s service to the Jersey breed, which spanned more than half a century. Those students who have completed at least one year of college are eligible for this award. JERSEY JOURNAL
This year, the $1,000 scholarship will be awarded to Michelle Morian, Atlantic, Pa. Michelle is the daughter of Gary and Denise Morian and will be a senior at Liberty University where she is studying business marketing and Christian religion. Being a student at Liberty, Michelle has been able to complete most of her coursework online, allowing her to spend her time on the family dairy that her parents started Morian more than 20 years ago. Although she had grown up on a dairy farm that had a significant percentage of Jerseys populating their herd, it was not until recently that Michelle began exploring the many options offered to her through the brown cow. After attending the 2010 All American festivities in Louisville, where she received the V. L. Peterson Scholarship, Michelle went back to her farm with a renewed spark of inspiration. “Seeing the caliber of the girls who competed for the National Jersey Queen honor, I was motivated to compete for the Pennsylvania Jersey Queen title,” said Michelle. Not only did she compete in the contest, she took the crown and will be representing her home state in the National Jersey Queen contest this November in Louisville. As she continues to learn how to effectively market cattle, Michelle is also learning how to effectively grow a dairy herd. The first Registered Jersey in her family herd was a result of the calf being her 4-H project. Since then, the herd has become completely registered and continuously increased production. One of the animals she is most proud of is Furor Dasher of Colecrest, Excellent-93%. “Dasher” completed two lactations that exceeded 20,000 lbs. milk, but was also recognized in the show arena for her excellent type, being named Senior and Grand Champion at the 2006 Pennsylvania State 4-H Show. While Michelle begins her senior year at Liberty she will continue promoting the breed and dairy industry during her tenure as Pennsylvania Jersey Queen, where she can continue to carry her spark for the Jersey cow. Cedarcrest Farms Scholarship The Cedarcrest Farms Scholarship was established in 1999 and has been funded by the sale of a bull at two of the Cedarcrest Sales. It is awarded to a student in large animal veterinary medicine, dairy production, dairy manufacturing, or dairy product marketing. Undergraduate and graduate students are both eligible for the award. SEPTEMBER 2011
The Cedarcrest Farms Scholarship of $1,500 will be presented to Mariah N. Fjarlie, Tillamook, Ore. daughter of John and Lorraine Fjarlie, Stratford, Wis. Mariah is studying agricultural business management at Tillamook Bay Community College, and will be attending Oregon State University (OSU) this fall to continue pursuing her educational goals. Mariah has been very active within the Jersey and dairy industry and has served as the Tillamook County Jersey Princess, the Oregon State Jersey Queen and the Western National Jersey Queen. She also competed in the 2010 National Jersey
Queen contest and was also a member of the second class of the Jersey Youth Academy “Holding those positions was a great honor,” said Mariah of her time spent under the crown. “I loved Fjarlie teaching the youth and dairy breeders more about the Jersey breed and the benefits to owning Jerseys (continued to page 55)

compared to the other breeds.” Mariah also spent a great deal of her youth working with 4-H and FFA programs in her area, state and the national level. She competed on judging teams for both organizations and competed in the National FFA Dairy Judging contest in Madison, Wis., where she left with a gold medal. “Being in FFA and 4-H made me realize even more that my career needed to be agricultural based,” said Mariah. As she continues her education, now at OSU, Mariah will have many opportunities to keep learning more about the dairy industry and where she can best spend her Jersey knowledge after graduation. Bob Toole Youth Award The Bob Toole Youth Award was established in 2003 to honor the lifelong enthusiasm Bob Toole felt for the Jersey cow. The award will be given to a young person who seeks formal education or practical experience related to the breeding, developing and showing of Jerseys. This year’s recipient of the $1,500 award is Corbin Wood, Littlestown, Pa. Corbin is the son of Steve and Chrissy Wood and a sophomore at Penn State University where h e is studying building construction technology and management. Corbin is the fourth generation of his family to dairy, but he and his brother are the first to own Jerseys at Penn Gate Farm, Wood where his parents house 60-head of Holsteins. Corbin purchased his first Jersey more than a decade ago and has bred 25 head of Jerseys since. Corbin first became interested in Jerseys when he began showing dairy cattle and found the brown cows were a little easier to handle during his first years as a showman. This ambitious Jersey youth plans to eventually grow his herd to stay competitive, but will pursue a full-time job off the farm. In addition to expanding his herd, his long range plans include running an agricultural building construction business that would specialize in milking parlors, free stall barns, machinery sheds and tie stall facilities. With degree in hand, Corbin plans to return home and begin making improvements to his own family farm so he can continue working with his Jerseys, in addition to helping other farmers achieve their facility needs. Corbin and his family also operate a produce business, something

he would like to also see expand. “The Jersey cow will continue to be an important part of my life and I am proud to have started my very own herd of Jerseys within my parents’ Holstein herd,” said Corbin. See page 37 for more information on Wood and the youth achievement contest. Awards for 2011-2012 Applications for 2011-2012 Jersey Youth Scholarships will be accepted from April 1 through July 1, 2012, and forms are available at www.USJersey.com/YouthProgram/ scholarshipinfo.html.

Zach purchased “Zocha” from Martin Dairy LLC, Tillamook, Ore., for $2,000. He will receive a cash prize of $1,077.12. The Nemaha Valley junior is using two high-visibility Jersey sales—the Pot O’Gold Sale and the All American Jersey Sale—almost exclusively as the source of the foundation of his herd. Every member of his herd of seven Registered Jerseys traces to “Zocha” and another Pot O’Gold purchase, Hi-Land Impuls Montana, and a heifer purchased at the recent All American Jersey Sale in 2010. Last year, “Montana” placed fifth in the 2010 Pot O’Gold Production Contest and seventh in Division I of the 2009 National Youth Production Contest.
Zach helps feed calves and do other chores at his grandparent’s farm, Heartland Jerseys, where his animals are housed.

members can register animals they breed at regular membership rates.
The September issue of the Jersey Journal has traditionally been designated as the junior issue, with feature articles highlighting achievements of Jersey juniors and advertisements placed by juniors themselves. Juniors who participate in youth programs sponsored by the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) not only gain valuable skills while they learn how to manage their cattle. They also build selfconfidence and forge friendships that often last a lifetime. The National Jersey Youth Program has been an integral part of the AJCA since 1958. Programs are funded by the consignors and buyers in the annual National Heifer Sale held in conjunction with the annual meetings of the national Jersey organizations and donations and various funds. Ten percent of the selling price of each heifer sold is directed to support youth programs. In this month’s Jersey Jargon column, we’ll take a closer look at some of the national youth programs and recognition contests that are available for juniors who own Registered Jerseys. Junior Membership Participation begins with junior membership in the AJCA. It is free to any junior under the age of 21 who owns a Registered Jersey. Junior members are eligible to participate in national achievement, production and scholarship programs. As well, junior

Youth Achievement Contest Since the first contest was held, 56 juniors have won the National Jersey Youth Achievement Contest and been honored for accomplishments in four areas: work with Registered Jerseys and related dairy activities, relative progress and future goals. State Jersey associations select up to two nominees for the contest. As well, youth who ranked second through 10th in the previous year’s contest are eligible to apply the next year. Juniors who reside in states without a Jersey association should contact their AJCA Director to be nominated. Youth Production Contest The National Jersey Youth Production Contest is open to all juniors and provides 10 awards in each of two divisions: first lactation cows calving before they reach 30 months-of-age and all other cows. Participants are eligible for an award in just one division and an overall winner is recognized. A junior member may win the production contest just once. Records are standardized on a 305-day, twice daily milking basis, then ranked by the current USDA component values for Net Merit dollars (NM$). Pot O’Gold Program The Pot O’Gold Sale is held annually in conjunction with the All American Junior Jersey Show. Typically, at least 30 heifers are made available for juniors aged 7-20 to purchase. Three years later, juniors compete for cash awards based on their heifer’s first completed lactation. As with the production contest, records are standardized on a 305-day, twice daily milking basis, then ranked by the current USDA compo-
nent values for NM$. The first sale was held in 1958 and the first production contest was held in 1961. Scholarships Six scholarships and two competitive internships are made available to Jersey juniors each year. The amount for scholarships awarded in 2011 will be $13,500. Scholarships are paid from permanent endowments administered by the AJCA. Scholarships are: the Russell-Malnati Scholarship for Advanced Studies; William A. Russell Memorial Scholarship; Reuben Cowles Youth Award; Jack C. Nisbet Scholarship; V. L. Peterson Scholarship; Paul Jackson Memorial Scholarship; and Cedarcrest Farms Scholarship. Internships include the Bob Toole Youth Award and the Fred Stout Experience. Jersey Youth Academy Jersey Youth Academy is the newest addition to the youth programs available from the AJCA. The second class was recently held in July 2011. The program is designed to encourage, educate and retain talented young people for careers in the Jersey dairy business. The target group is youth starting their junior year of high school through the fall of the calendar year to students a year or more from finishing at vocational school, college or university. Selection is based on an evaluation of merit, motivation and preparation for the program in a written application and goal statement submitted by the applicants. For more information on national Jersey youth programs, contact Dr. Cherie Bayer, AJCA Director of Development, at 614/322-4456 or cbayer@usjersey.com.

Active A.I. Bulls Ranked By GJPI, August 2011 Life, +2.3; JUI, +2.01; DPR, 0.1; and Final Score, +0.8
The 128 Jersey bulls listed are coded as Active A.I. for the August 2011 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 16 bulls that are not genomically tested, are listed with their traditionally calculated evaluation. These 112 genotyped bulls average +406M, +33F, +19P; for Lifetime Net Merit, Cheese Merit +$282; Net Merit +$254, and Fluid Merit +$232.

There are six two-way traits among the 15 listed: Foot Angle (low or steep); Rear Legs (posty to sickle); Rump Angle (high to low); Teat Placement (wide to close); Udder Depth (deep to shallow); and Teat Length (long to short). The PTAs for linear traits (with the exception of body depth) are used in the JPI calculation and are weighted by their relative economic value in increasing net income.

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

qualification and genomic testing and when his OA dam is genomically tested and qualified as at least 75% Jersey by approved methods. Males qualified for GR Registry status and not used for artificial insemination (A.I.) must be parentage qualified by an AJCA-approved method. For bulls used for A.I. purposes, GR registry status will be assigned only after a male is both parentage qualified and genomically tested using approved methods. JH1 Status Animals that have been determined to be carriers (C) or non-carriers (F) of the Jersey Haplotyte 1 are identfied under the JH1 heading on the previous page.

Top 200 Females with Genomic Evaluations by GJPI, August 2011 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 August 1, 2011, and (3) not have a GPTA based on lactation information. Name owner
Genomic evaluations are calculated from one of three sources of information. The source is identified in the column labeled GT as follows: GT, cow/heifer was genotyped; GI, genotype for cow was imputed from genotypes of progeny, but the cow is not genotyped; and GA, evaluation includes information from genotypes or imputed genotypes of ancestors, but cow/heifer is not genotyped. Jersey Haplotype 1 tested carriers or non-carriers are designated in the third column with a C or F.

Top 200 Cows for Jersey Performance Index (Traditional), August 2011 The top 200 cows ranked by traditionally calculated Jersey Premformance IndexTM (JPI) from the August 2011 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 August 1, 2011.

OSU-ATI Hosts Summer Picnic The Ohio State University Agricultural Technical Institute (OSU-ATI) in Wooster hosted the summer picnic of the Ohio Jersey Breeders Association on June 18, 2011. Seventy Jersey breeders enjoyed a picnic lunch in the cafeteria, honored peers for production achievements from 2010 and toured the dairy facilities. The Ohio Jersey Queen Contest was also held during the event. Erin Williams, McConnelsville, was crowned as the 2011 Ohio Jersey Queen. The daughter of Kevin and Darlene Williams is a member of the second Jersey Youth Academy and will head to OSU this fall to study agricultural communications. Her Registered Jersey herd includes such notables as the reigning Grand Champion of The All American Junior Jersey Show, Indiana Veda, and the recently-tapped Supreme Champion of the Spring Dairy Expo Junior Show, Gustav Dede. While in high school, Williams was a member of the National Honors Society, the study club and the varsity track team. She is a member of the Barbwire Bunch 4-H Club and sits on the Morgan County Junior Fair Board. Williams was a member of her local FFA chapter, which she served as president. She earned her state FFA degree in the spring and received the dairy entrepreneurship proficiency award. Williams is president of the Ohio Junior Jersey Breeders Association. She has been presented with the Ohio Junior Promoter Award, the Ohio Outstanding Girl Award and the Diley Family Memorial Award. Megan Cornish, North Fairfield, and Kadey Starkey, Mechanicsburg, were named 2011 Ohio Jersey Princesses. The 15-year-old daughter of Dave and Daphne Cornish attends South Central High School, where she is class secretary and a member of Students Against Drunk Driving. She is secretary of the local FFA chapter and recently placed fourth in the state dairy entrepreneurship contest. She placed second in the state dairy handlers contest and will represent the state at the Eastern States Exposition this fall. Cornish is treasurer for the Ohio Junior Jersey Breeders Association and news reporter for the Greenwich County

Cornhuskers 4-H Club. Her 4-H projects include dairy cows and heifers, dairy feeders and steers and market hogs. She is also active in her church. Starky is the daughter of Gene and Shelly (Hoewischer) Starkey. The 14-year-old is a student at Mechanicsburg High School, where she is active in band and choir and runs for the cross country track team. Starky’s 4-H projects include dairy cows and heifers, dairy feeders, market poultry, sewing, woodworking and scrapbooking. She also participates in dairy judging and the dairy knowledge quiz bowl. She is active in the state junior Jersey organization and enjoys showing cattle at county, district, state and national shows. Jersey breeders were also recognized for herd averages and individual cow production in six age categories based on yields for milk, fat, protein and energy corrected milk. Dar-Re Farm, owned by the Regan Miller Family of Big Prairie, was the high herd for milk, fat and protein production with a 2010 rolling herd average of 21,849 lbs. milk, 1,070 lbs. fat and 806 lbs. protein on 126 cows. Four members of the herd earned certificates for high production in the state based on age. Putt Dairy Farm, Sugarcreek, ranked second for all production measures with a herd average of 21,578 lbs. milk, 996 lbs. fat and 775 lbs. protein on 60 cows. Three members of the herd received certificates for high production. Other Jersey breeders to receive certificates for high producing Jerseys by age included: Cold Run Jerseys LLC, Salem; Clover Patch Jerseys, Millersburg; Grammer Jersey Farm, Sebring; La
Rainbow Farms, New Knoxville; Shipley Jersey Farms, Newark; Spring Valley Farm, Millersburg; and Winkle Jersey Farm, Sardinia. Members were also treated to a tour of the OSU-ATI dairy facilities, which include a new milking parlor completed in 2010. Royce Thornton, Dairy Program Coordinator, spoke about the dairy and expressed appreciation for the support Ohio Jersey breeders have given the university over the years. “A lot of Ohio Jersey people have helped us get our Jersey herd started,” he said. “Thanks to your support, we are able to share the Jersey breed with our students.” Currently, 60 students are enrolled in the school’s two-year dairy production and management program. Students choose either the dairy production management option or the dairy science option, which allows them to complete general education classes and then transfer to the Columbus campus to earn a bachelor’s degree. More than half of the students do not grow up on a farm, but develop an interest in dairying while working on a farm owned by a neighbor or relative. The milking string is 80 Holsteins, 40 Jerseys and 10 Brown Swiss. The Jersey herd is enrolled on REAP and has a 2010 lactation average of 18,568 lbs. milk, 850 lbs. fat and 652 lbs. protein on 32 lactations. Sire selection is based on JPI, as well as Jersey Udder Index, pounds of components and aAa evaluation. The calving interval for the Jersey herd is 12.8 months, versus 13.9 months for the Holsteins. The Jerseys also have fewer services per conception than the other breeds because they are not as stressed by heat and are more fertile. Cows are milked in a 10-unit, doubleswing, Dairymaster parallel parlor with automatic take-offs. A radio frequency unit identifies the cow when she enters the parlor and then records her milk weights. The computer calculates a seven-day average and determines the efficiency of the milker. The new system has allowed the dairy to reduce somatic cell count to an average 247,000. Another new feature is a transponder unit attached to a collar that records the cow’s activities, including rest and movement, allowing students to identify when a cow is in heat or sick. Other livestock on the farm include horses, sheep, sows and beef cows. The farm is situated on 1,700 acres and sets aside 1,000 acres for crops and 400-500 acres for pastures. The balance is used for facilities and woodland. JERSEY JOURNAL
Proposals Sought for Jersey Research
The AJCC Research Foundation has issued a request for research proposals to be funded in 2012 addressing significant issues for the Jersey breed and Jersey milk producers. Current priorities for 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 Thursday, December 1, 2011. 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 2012. 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 nearly $880,000 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.

Letter To The Editor Herd Improvement thoughts from a Master Breeder
Have any heifers you have milked in the past year been a disappointment? Have you sent any heifers to the sale for $500$1,000 less than you had invested in them? With today’s technology, there are several tools available to eliminate many of these mediocre heifers before they are even born. I have been a breeder for 65 years and have kept performance records on thousands of my cows throughout this time. Recently a heifer calved that was very disappointing. I looked up her dam and found she had been culled halfway through her first lactation. I looked up her grandam. She had been culled during her first lactation. I looked up her great-grandam, and lo and behold she had met the same fate. Four generations of losers, that together had lost me several thousands of dollars. Most dairy producers feel they need replacement heifers to maintain and improve their herd, but none of them want losers. Maybe we need to develop smarter selections of the replacement herd. I want to suggest a new strategy for selecting your future herd. Profitability is the goal. When a cow leaves the herd after being struck by lightning, or was killed by a tornado, genetics has nothing to do with it. For almost every other reason however, there is a connection to some degree in-
volving heritability. Theoretically every creature receives half its genetics from the mother and half from the father. However in practice, a single defect can override a number of desirable traits. It may be very important to eliminate bad genetics from your future herd. Using outstanding sires alone might be breeding with one hand held behind your back. I would suggest 20% of your females should not be mothers of your future herd. I have proven in my own herd that by careful selection of semen – both conventional and sexed—along with good heat detection (we average 83%), you can have ample heifers born from the top 75% of your herd to replace 33% of your herd each year. Along with this, 90% of our heifers calve at less than 24 months old, and the herd calving interval is 13 months. Have you ever kept a high producing cow with a poor udder through a two month dry period, and then had to cull her as a fresh cow because her udder got worse? Or have you done the same with a high somatic cell cow? Or have you kept a problem breeder until she finally got pregnant on the 10th service, then put up with months of low production and a long dry period, to find her to be a problem breeder on the next lactation? All of these problems are to some degree inherited. Maybe this time has come where you should fine tune your herd management, and to try to breed a herd with less of these problems? Maybe you can market more milk from the same number of cows, and at the same time provide the consumer with better quality milk.
The new 3K genomic testing shows great promise as a tool to help select the future of your herd. I am still in the stages of studying how I will incorporate these tests into my planning, but there is little doubt that it will bring major changes in future genetics-planning. Stay tuned. Genomic testing of bulls has already brought the most rapid change in semen purchases in my lifetime. We have a regular vet check every two weeks. Every cow fresh 18 days gets checked until she is cleared. Every cow or heifer bred 36 days is pregnancy checked. I use sexed semen from some of the best bulls of the breed. I start breeding heifers at 12 months with sexed semen. By 15 months, 80-90% are pregnant, and then any breeding after that are with regular semen. Usually anything still open at 18 months goes to slaughter. I have a 400 cow herd, and right now I have two uncalved heifers over two-years-old. On cows, the top half of the cows are bred with sexed semen on any breeding between 55 days pp and 75 days pp. With this procedure, about two-thirds of my calves are heifers. The conception on sexed semen is slightly lower on average than conventional, although some bulls rate just as high. Sexed semen results are better than they were several years ago, and a lot more of the best bulls are being sexed than before. To answer the question—How do I choose the bottom 20% of my females? I usually sell about 10% of my heifers, based mostly on pedigree, but also to get rid of problems. My bottom 30% of cows are there for any of several reasons: below average production, problem udders, high somatic cells, poor feet, problem breeders, poor disposition, age, or any reason that means there is a high likelihood of future culling. About half of the bottom group of cows are planned for culling, either now or in the future. Many of them I will leave open deliberately until such date that I choose to sell them. In some herds part of this bottom 30% could be bred to a terminal cross, such as a beef, and sold at birth. The final question would be where the dollars come from to do this. You save breeding cost on animals intentionally not bred. You save money not raising heifers that are not good enough. More milk and less problems both mean income. I get practically nothing for bull calves. I can sell any extra heifers. These alone cover the cost of sexed semen. Heat detection is something that is always necessary in a well managed dairy herd. Thank you , Newell Mills, Mills Jersey Farm, Fallon, Nev.

WORLD DAIRY EXPO
W
Perchard Receives International Honors
hether it is talking to the Queen of England about the Queen’s dairy herd or to the small dairy farmer in Guatemala milking 10 cows on a remote mountainside the 2011 World Dairy Expo’s International Person of the Year, breaks down language and country barriers to promote the dairy industry and create a better world every day of her life. It is no wonder that Anne E. Perchard, St. Martin, Jersey, is known among her peers and colleagues as a “world ambassador.” This energetic lady with a passionate zest for life has been immersed in the dairy business for seven decades. Her versatility and expertise has allowed her many opportunities from presenting papers at international conferences to judging a country’s national Jersey show the next day. “Her efforts always focused on the basic common grounds of operating a dairy herd profitably, producing and marketing a high-quality product for consumers and accomplishing this with the utilization of the best Jersey genetics available,” said Carlos Robert, Costa Rica, and president of Hacienda San Gerardo in his letter of support. Perchard served for more than a decade as the president of the World Jersey Cattle Bureau (WJCB) and traveled to more than 20 countries promoting the Jersey breed and the dairy industry. She has a lifetime appointment with the WJCB as a Patron. Her profile on the ASHA Foundation webpage captures the essence of this remarkable leader. The quote on her page from St. Francis of Assisi is: “If you do first what is necessary, then what is possible, suddenly you will find you are achieving the impossible.” At the age of 14, Anne was elected first vice-chairperson of the Jersey Young Farmers’ Club. This was just a glimpse of the respect she would earn of her peers during the next six decades. She was the first woman to be elected to the Jersey Milk Marketing Board and has twice been elected vice president of the Royal Jersey Agricultural & Horticultural Society (RJA & HS)—the national breed registry organization on the Island. In 2005, Perchard became the first woman to receive honorary membership in the AJCA. This same year she was honored by the WJCB as their Distinguished Page 86
Service recipient. One of her most prestigious honors came in 2001, when she was honored by Queen Elizabeth II as a Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire. She was selected based on her years of leadership and service to Jersey cattle. But all of these recognitions and awards are not nearly as important to Mrs. Perchard as her love of the Jersey breed and working
Anne E. Perchard
with Jersey owners around the world to breed the most profitable cow they can. “Anne is a master at international diplomacy,” stated Calvin Covington, former Executive Secretary of the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) in a letter of recommendation. “She is successful in getting the members of the world breed societies to look beyond their differences and focus on how all can improve by working together.” The Birth of Ansom Jerseys Her beginnings in the dairy industry were at a very early age on her family’s La Ville Bree Farm on the Island of Jersey. German military forces invaded and occupied her homeland during World War II and Anne began carrying a large portion of the responsibility for the farm before she was even a teenager. A few years later she met and married Leslie Perchard. The couple worked hard
and soon were able to purchase their own farm—La Ferme—adjacent to her family’s home farm. This is where their dairy herd—Ansom Jerseys— was born. They operated the farm together until his death in 1970. She and her five children continued the farm and today, two of her sons have assumed major leadership roles in the operation of La Ferme. The farm totals 250 cows today making it the largest on the Island. The herd soon gained respect and became a leading production herd among the Island herds. This distinction of the herd led to the Perchards being able to export animals to North America. With extended pedigree research, many American and Canadian Jersey lineages trace back to Ansom-bred bulls that were imported to the country. In 1978, Ansom Designette, bred by Anne and her family, was selected from a field of more than 1,000 cows nominated by Island of Jersey breeders to be presented to Queen Elizabeth II for the Windsor herd in England. Today, “Designette” is immortalized on a postage stamp in England. Each year, Anne and her sons open their farm to thousands of Jersey residents so they can have a look behind the scenes at the Island’s largest Jersey herd that also produces legendary Jersey Royal potatoes. Continuing the Fight for Top Genetics Perchard was one of the leaders in the fight to allow the importation of semen from sires outside the Island of Jersey. “Anne’s open-minded and forward thinking ability is demonstrated by her being amongst the first people to appreciate the need for importing the best international breeding stock to the Island to ensure the continued improvement of the local herd,” commended Stephen Le Feuvre, president of the RJA & HS. In July 2008, the laws were changed and the first semen arrived from abroad. One year later, the first Jersey calves were born on the Island from imported semen. “The efforts of Mrs. Perchard in promoting owning Jerseys and breeding better Jerseys has had a positive impact on the dairy insustry of North America,” said Russell Gammon, North American Vice (continued to page 88)

WORLD DAIRY EXPO
Norman Honored as Industry Person of Year
W
orld Dairy Expo has selected Dr. H. Duane Norman, Fulton, Md., as the 2011 Industry Person of the Year. The award is presented annually to an individual for their work in research, development, education, marketing, manufacturing or other fields that provide goods or services to the dairy industry. Dr. Norman has been a research geneticist with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Animal Improvement Programs Laboratory (AIPL) for more than four decades. Today he is the supervisory research geneticist at AIPL, where he oversees the genetics research program and calculation of genetic evaluations. During his tenure, production of the domestic dairy herd has more than doubled, thanks in part to a genetic evaluation system that has become the envy of the world, one that Dr. Norman played a key role in developing. Under his leadership, AIPL moved from simple evaluations of yield traits to complex evaluations of yield, fitness and health traits that include conformation, longevity, mastitis resistance, fertility, calving ease and stillbirth information. Most recently, he was at the helm when AIPL undertook the incorporation of genotyping information in genetic evaluations. Through his involvement with organizations like the American Dairy Science Association (ADSA), the Council on Dairy Cattle Breeding, the National Association of Animal Breeders (NAAB), the National Dairy Herd Improvement Association (NDHIA) and the Purebred Dairy Cattle Association, Dr. Norman has been a unifying force for the dairy industry. His steadfast focus has always been on improving traits that are economically important to dairy producers and increasing the accuracy of genetic evaluations. Dr. Norman has also been a friend to the Jersey breed. In 1990, he received the Distinguished Service Award from the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) for his contributions to breed advancement. He has helped the Jersey breed set research priorities through his service on the AJCA Research Advisory Committee, which spans more than three decades. The Norman family contributed to the AJCC Research Foundation at the SEPTEMBER 2011
Patron level in 1990; Dr. Norman and his wife, Rosyln, continue to contribute to the cause by donating items to the foundation’s annual fundraising auction. Dr. Norman rallied for the adoption of multiple component pricing in the 1970s and has contributed to Project Equity since 1986 through the family farm, Normandell Farms. His appreciation for the Jersey cow is

understandable. He was born and raised on a Registered Jersey farm in Liberty, Pa. He was active in 4-H and took a special interest in dairy judging. His first homebred cow, Beacons Aster Jessie, was tapped as Grand Champion of the Pennsylvania AllAmerican Junior Jersey Show in 1959, 1961 and 1962. As an undergraduate at the Pennsylvania State University, he was president of the campus 4-H club, editor of the Dairyman and a member of the dairy judging team. He received the Davey Award for being the outstanding senior in dairy science in 1964. Dr. Norman earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Penn State and then obtained a Ph.D. in dairy breeding from Cornell University. He joined the staff at the USDA in Beltsville, Md., in 1970. Among his first career achievements was the formulation of the Modified
Contemporary Comparison (MCC) in 1971. The MCC was used to calculate Predicted Differences and Cow Indexes for milk and fat yields until 1989, when it was replaced with the Animal Model. The MCC eliminated biases present in the previous sire evaluation system and allowed for the comparison of bulls across time, regardless of where or when they were progeny tested. These improvements increased the accuracy of sire evaluations. Dr. Norman foresaw the importance of incorporating protein in genetic evaluations long before the practice became an industry standard. He initiated a sire evaluation procedure that included protein and solids-not-fats in 1977, even though few cows were being tested and little milk was being paid on the basis of components at that time. He believed that sire evaluations based even on limited data would boost interest in protein and help the dairy industry realize its value. The ability to include protein in breeding decisions was one of several stimuli that sparked the revolution in multiple component pricing. Dr. Norman has also developed and applied several other methods that are used to rank dairy cattle today, including measures for linear type trait rankings of cows and bulls, and indexes that combine production and type. He and his team applied the Animal Model techniques, then followed with genomic information, to produce the genetic evaluation systems now used for ranking of cows and bulls. He has authored or co-authored numerous publications and abstracts and his research is frequently cited in scientific journal papers, proceedings and trade publications. He served on the editorial board of the Journal of Dairy Science from 1979-1985 and received the ADSA Most-Cited Award in 2007 for publication contributions that significantly impact research and the dairy industry. Throughout the years, Dr. Norman has made more than 350 presentations at state, national and international meetings and served on 70 industry committees. He sat on the board of National Dairy Shrine for nine years and presided over the organization in 2003. He received the Guest of Honor Award in 2007. Dr. Norman also (continued to page 88)

The couple raised three children on the farm—Jennifer, Adam and Stephanie. All were active in dairy projects as youth and continued to lend a hand with the farm as adults. They passed their passion for cows to their spouses and children, who helped on the farm in recent years as well.

North Carolina and Virginia Host Field Day The North Carolina and Virginia Jersey Field Day was hosted by the Moore family at their farm in Mount Ulla, N.C., on July 16, 2011. The well-attended event included presentations by industry guests, the North Carolina Pot of Gold Sale, lunch and ice cream and a tour of the dairy farm. Dr. Rhod Lowe, a veterinarian from Rowan Animal Clinic in Salisbury, N.C., spoke about calfhood vaccinations and worming schedules. He gave optimal times for administration of a number of vaccines and spoke about the differences between live vaccines and killed vaccines. Dr. Lowe told Jersey breeders they should not give viral and bacterial vaccines at the same time. Dustin Allman, a representative of the North Carolina Crop Improvement Association, explained how seed is collected in the field and tested for certification. The association is the official seed certification agency for North Carolina. Seed producers customize the program to their needs. Some use just the field inspection service, while others use the entire system of record keeping, inspection and quality standards in order to label their seed with the Quality Assurance tag or logo. Moore Dairy is operated by Brian and Jessica Moore and his parents, Johnny and Karen Moore. The elder Moores established the dairy in 1983 with Holsteins. Jerseys were added in 2003 when Brian and a friend, Scott Lee, attended the Dixie Invitational and Southeast Heifer Growers North Sale and came home with three bred heifers. In seven years, the herd has grown to 60 milking cows, primarily from the three foundation animals and a few other select purchases. The herd is enrolled on REAP and uses
JerseyTags for permanent identification. Milk is marketed to Dairy Farmers of America. The June 2011 rolling herd average for the Jerseys was 19,957 lbs. milk, 818 lbs. fat and 656 lbs. protein. Service sire selection is based on Jersey Performance Index and Jersey Udder Index; genotyped young sires are used extensively for accelerated genetic progress. Half of the calves in the heifer pens are P-level P8 or P9. The herd’s average age at first calving is 22 months and the calving interval is 13.3 months. The Jersey herd is housed and fed with the Holstein herd. Cows are milked in a double-six herringbone parlor three times a day. The milking string is fed a total mixed ration of corn silage, wheat silage, haylage, ground corn, barley, cottonseed and a purchased concentrate. Calves are started with three feedings of colostrum and then introduced to a 28:20 milk replacer. Shortly after birth, they are placed in individual pens and then moved to group pens as they grow. The Moores also raise certified seed for Unisouth Genetics and sell deer corn to the public. Pot of Gold Sale The North Carolina Pot of Gold Sale was held in conjunction with the field day. Four heifer calves were auctioned for an average of $1,100 and gross receipts of $4,400. Juniors who made purchases are eligible to compete in the ensuing production contest for these heifers three years from now and earn back a portion of their purchase price.

He currently serves as the Dairy Science Club’s current representative on the College of Agriculture Council. Hanson works as a conference manager at the university, where he coordinates housing and dining for camps and conferences throughout the summer. Hanson was very active in 4-H, FFA and high school activities prior to college. Kendra Core, Ackworth, was crowned as the Iowa Jersey Princess. The 17-yearold daughter of Ken and Brenda Core will attend Des Moines Area Community College this fall. She plans to transfer to
Iowa State in two years to purse a master’s degree in elementary education and a minor in childhood development. Core is the fourth generation to raise Jerseys and began her show career with Jerseys at the age of two in the Kiddie Kattle Kapers class at the Iowa State Fair. She has shown her cattle at the Warren County Fair and the Iowa State Fair every year since. She is the reigning Warren County Core Dairy Princess and takes great pride in promoting the dairy industry and the Jersey breed. She will compete in the Iowa Dairy Princess contest this summer and the National Jersey Queen contest this fall. In business news, it was reported that the inaugural Hawkeye Pot O’Gold Sale was a success. An account using 25% of the sale gross ($975) will be established to fund the production contest in 2014. Jersey breeders discussed the possibility of genotyping all consignments in future years. Jerseys will also be included in the Ayrshire Fall Sale this in September. Jersey breeders were encouraged to consign and volunteer at the inaugural event for Jerseys. Members also discussed the option of hosting a volume sale similar to the Illinois State Sale, or managing a volume sale with another state. Jersey breeders toured Hei-Bri Jerseys. The dairy is operated by Brian and Heidi Lantzky and their daughters, Heidi and Dayle. The family milks 145 cows and raises heifers on the farm in the northeast part of the state. Hei-Bri Jerseys is enrolled on REAP and markets milk to Swiss Valley Farms. Cows are housed in a compost barn with a center drive-through and intensively grazed during the summer. They are milked in a double-12 parlor. The farm is situated on just 40 acres, with another 300 acres of rented land. The dairy has achieved the highest rating (tier three) in the Conservation Security Program and has earned numerous milk quality awards. Brian and Heidi received the Young Jersey Breeder award from the AJCA in 2003 and the Progressive Producer award (herds under 300 cows) from National Dairy Shrine in 2009. The family is active in the Iowa Jersey Cattle Club and routinely consigns to the Iowa Spring Extravaganza Sale. JERSEY JOURNAL

Expo’s 2011 Virtual Farm Tours to Feature St. Brigid’s Farm of Maryland
St. Brigid’s Farm, a Registered Jersey™ dairy farm located near Kennedyville, Md., will be one of eight U.S. operations featured as a Virtual Farm Tour at the 2011 World Dairy Expo. The program, which will be presented by owners Robert Fry, D.V.M., and Judy Gifford, will start at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, October 5 in Mendota 1 meeting room in the Exhibition Hall at the Alliant Energy Center, Madison, Wis. The American Jersey Cattle Association is the program sponsor. “The three cornerstones of St. Brigid’s Farm,” Judy explains, “are ecological soundness, economic viability and positive community influence with the Jersey cow the center of all three.” The 55-acre farm is located on the scenic eastern shore of Maryland near the headwaters of the Chesapeake Bay and planted in permanent pasture. It was named after St. Brigid, the patron saint of dairymaids and scholars, who was renowned for her compassion and often featured with cows at her feet. She perfectly represents the pairing of Judy, the dairymaid, and Bob, the scholar. Established in 1996 with the purchase of 69 heifers, the St. Brigid’s Jersey herd today includes 160 head consisting of milking cows, replacement heifers, steers and veal calves. It currently ranks third in the nation based on its herd average Jersey Performance Index™, with the 86 cows averaging $222 for USDA’s Cheese Merit Dollars. The 2010 lactation average was 19,867 lbs. milk, 936 lbs. fat and 754 lbs. protein.
SEPTEMBER 2011
The cows graze on perennial grasses, such as ryegrass, orchardgrass or endophyte-free fescue mixed with white clover, from April to mid-December. Pastures are irrigated in the summer. During the grazing season, the ration is supplemented with a fortified grain mix and a modest amount of corn silage. In winter, corn silage and baled hay take the place of grazed forages. Grass-fed Jersey beef and meadowraised veal is sold directly to individuals and restaurants to offer consumers a delicious and healthy alternative to the options at the supermarket. St. Brigid’s Farm beef and veal is offered regularly on the menu of the popular Chestertown restaurant, Brooks Tavern, Woodberry Kitchen in Baltimore and several others in the area as seasonal specials. Since 2008, St. Brigid’s Farm has hosted an annual Field to Fork Dinner featuring food sourced from the farm and other local producers. The menu is different each year depending on the availability of local ingredients and the creative flair of the chef. Much of the dinner is cooked on site. Net proceeds are donated to charity with beneficiaries including Heifer International and the Kent County High School Culinary Arts Program. Judy served as co-chair of the National Sustainable Agriculture Research & Education (SARE) Outreach Committee from 2005 to 2010, and was keynote speaker
for the SARE New American Farm Conference in 2008. Bob received the Award for Excellence in Preventive Veterinary Medicine in 2005 from the American Association of Bovine Practitioners. Other Virtual Farm Tours feature dairy businesses located in Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Minnesota and North Carolina. They are being sponsored by AgSource Cooperatives Services, Conestoga-Rovers & Associates, Lely USA, North Carolina Dairy Advantage, Pioneer Hi-Bred, Quality Liquid Feeds, and Structures Unlimited LLC. There is no charge for these programs. World Dairy Expo opens Tuesday, October 4 with the Central National Jersey Show starting at 1:00 p.m. in the Coliseum. The cow show continues on Wednesday morning and concludes with selection of the Grand Champion by judge Hank Van Exel, Lodi, Calif. The Top of the World Jersey Sale kicks off at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday evening in the sale pavilion. Jersey Marketing Service, Reynoldsburg, Ohio, is the sale manager. The American Jersey Cattle Association and National All-Jersey Inc. will have an exhibit throughout Expo. It will be located in the Coliseum at Arena Level 101 and 102.

In Memoriam Norma Duffield Stong Lyon Norma Duffield “Duffy” Stong Lyon, Toledo, Iowa, 81, passed away on June 26, 2011. Duffy, known as “The Butter Cow Lady” for her sculptures at the Iowa State Fair, operated Lyon Jerseys with her family in Toledo and was elected an Honorary Member of the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) by the organization’s board of directors in 2007. She was born on July 29, 1929, in Nashville, Tenn., daughter of the late Elsa (Walburn) and Benton J. Stong. She spent her childhood between Knoxville, Tenn., and Keosauqua, Iowa, where her paternal grandmother lived. She graduated from Iowa State University in 1951 with a degree in animal science because her preferred major, veterinary science, did not accept women. It was at Iowa State that she first realized her artistic talents when she won first place in a snow sculpture contest. Her skills caught the attention of resident sculptor Christian Petersen, who offered her a chance to take work with him. The university is also where she met her husband, G. Joe Lyon. The two married in July 1950 and returned to Toledo to farm with his family shortly after graduation. Lyon Jersey Farm, a 320-cow Registered Jersey dairy, is operated by Joe Lyon and his son, Eric, and nephew, Stuart, and their families. Duffy sculpted the butter cow at the Iowa State Fair for 46 years beginning in 1960. She was the third person to craft the cow, the first woman to do so. Her annual display of a life-sized cow and other unique figures became the number one attraction at the fair. She created other sculptures across the U.S. and Canada as well, including a bronze Jersey cow and calf that is permanently displayed at the intersection of Highway 63 and Highway 30 near Toledo and another life-sized bronze Jersey cow at the dairy farm at Iowa State University. The Iowa State Fair was close to Duffy’s heart. Her great-grandfather served on the Iowa State Fair Board and her uncle, Phil Stong, wrote a book about the fair that was later made into three movies and a Broadway musical by Rodgers and Hammerstein. Lyon Jerseys has showed cattle at the Iowa State Fair since 1931. Lyon earned many awards for her artistic endeavors and efforts to promote dairy, including World Dairy Expo Woman of the Year in 1990 and National Dairy Shrine Pioneer in 2002. She appeared on Page 102
national television shows such as the “Today” show, “Late Night with David Letterman” and “The Tonight Show” with Jay Leno and appeared as herself on an episode of “To Tell the Truth” in 1963. Her sculptures have also been featured in LIFE, Time, Newsweek and People magazines. President Barack Obama sought Duffy’s endorsement in late 2007 while campaigning in Iowa for the Democratic presidential nomination. The online political journal Politico and other outlets credited her endorsement with helping him win the state’s critical caucuses. She also was an active member of St. Patrick Catholic Church in Tama.
