The Ultimate Test: Round 2 August brought the first proofs based on daughter performance information for 68 Jersey bulls that previously had genomic evaluations based only on pedigree and genomic data. It also included updated proofs for the 81 genotyped bulls that were our subject here in May after receiving their first progeny-test evaluations in the April run. That’s a total of 149 genotyped and progeny tested Jersey bulls, more than adequate to evaluate the predictive accuracy of genomic evaluations. Table 1 displays the GPTA averages for selected traits of the 68 bulls that had their first daughter proof on this run. With an average of 38 tested daughters per bull, Reliability for Jersey Performance Index™ was 73%. There was very little change across the board in their GPTAs before and after progeny test information was included. There was no change in the group averages for pounds fat and protein, somatic cell score (SCS), and final score for type. Where there was change, it was within a narrow range and thus typical of what we see for proven bulls from one evaluation to the next. Averages, however, tell just part of the story. Group averages that are identical, or nearly so, at two points in time can obscure information about individual bulls. One bull (or several bulls) could outperform genomic prediction and shoot up the list, others could crash and still the average could be the same. Did these 68 bulls retain their relative ranking against each other before and after daughter information was added? The answer is yes. The correlation for genomic JPI™ between the April and August rankings
was .91 for all 68 bulls, and .90 for the highest 20. In the world of statistics, 1.0 is perfect. Table 2 tells a similar story for the first 81 bulls that moved last April from genomic-only evaluations to proofs with pedigree and genomic and daughter performance data. The rank correlation between the December and August evaluations for entire group is .70, and .80 for the top 20. While not as impressive as what was observed for the AprilAugust group of 68, there is a likely explanation. December and April evaluations were not calculated using the same procedures. AIPL geneticists implemented new methods in April that improved the accuracy of production, fitness and type trait evaluations. Although somewhat early in the grading period, genomic evaluations have earned high marks for their predictive accuracy, or what Bennet Cassell of Virginia Tech called the “ultimate test … to see if a bull chosen on the basis of a high genetic evaluation including genomics but no daughter records actually was that good when progeny data were available.” Do genomic proofs really hold up? Yes. They do. The current Board recommendation to accelerate herd and breed improvement is 50% of matings to genomic evaluated bulls in A.I. sampling programs. The key to making it work is to spread the risk of using any one bull by instead selecting a group of young bulls. For more on this, and other key points in the practical application of genomics, take another look at Dr. Cassell’s article starting on page 27 of the July issue.

Jersey Born and Raised — Cassie Chittenden
aying that Jersey cows have left a huge imprint on my life is an understatement. In my opinion, Jersey cows are the part of my life that will never end. As my parents claim, the love for Jersey cows is simply in my blood. With that said, growing up on Dutch Hollow Farm has allowed me to share this love with the entire Chittenden family. Each member of my family has, in some way, helped me to be able to achieve what I have in my life. However, it is my parents, Brian and Beth, that I owe the greatest thanks to. During elementary school, I spent my after-school time hanging out at the barn, but my favorite time was summer because that meant it was show season and I had my very own calf to train and spoil. Every summer, my sister, cousins, and I spent our summer caring for our show heifers. All of us working together helped me to learn the value of teamwork and the importance of helping each other to be able to achieve a goal. It was also at this age where I began reading the Jersey Journal. However, it was common for my parents to “receive the Journal late” because I would hide it under my bed for reading every night until I had finished it three times. When I became age eligible, I joined the local 4-H club and dove head first into the dairy project. Through my 10 years of 4-H, I participated in dairy bowl, dairy judging, dairy clinics, and showing at the county fair. During high school, I was a member of the New York State Junior Dairy Leaders program which allowed me to be able to attend the National 4-H Dairy Conference. This program was a group of teens who toured farms, explored new technologies, learned about careers in the dairy field, and most importantly, bonded with others who were interested in dairy. Furthermore, I served as the 2009-2010 Columbia County Dairy Princess and was selected as one of the top three written communications winners at the New York State dairy princess pageant. In 1993, at one-year-old my parents purchased my first cow Huestis Brook Gail, Excellent-91%, from the Fantastic 50s Sale. Gail was an amazing brood cow, living to 14 years old and currently has 43 descendents in my herd of 21 heifers and 34 cows. Four of these descendents have placed in the National Jersey Youth Production Contest and an additional three have been shown in The All American Junior Show. Six bull descendents have been sold to A.I. companies and a granddaughter sold in the Pot O’Gold Sale. In addition, “Gail” herself also placed in the National Jersey Youth Production Contest and the Leading Living Lifetime Production Contest. The first time I was exposed directly to the Jersey youth activities was my first trip to Louisville with my Grandma. When we first walked through the barn I was amazed just looking at cows’ signs seeing all the names of farms and cows
Page 18
from the Jersey Journal. To my surprise Grandma had asked Paul Stiles if I could have my picture with “Blacky Rose,” the previous year’s grand champion. When I was walking through the bed I was so excited that I started to shake some and when I actually pet her she had the silkiest coat I had ever felt before. My favorite part of that trip was the first time I watched the National Jersey Jug Futurity. I sat in awe watching the queens enter and preside over the class from their ringside seats. When each cow was then introduced and the lights were raised to see the ring full of Jersey cows, I was mesmerized and simply amazed. Four years later, I was honored to be able to show my bred and owned cow in the class just for the experience. As this year’s First Alternate National Jersey Queen, I became one of the girls to be escorted into the ring before the class began. In addition to the other contests I have participated in, I was chosen to be a member of the first and second Jersey Youth Academy classes. For any youth who is interested in the Jersey breed and the dairy industry—apply! This program allowed me to learn about more topics in the dairy industry than I could imagine. Here we not only learned but bonded with other kids who are interested in Jerseys and the dairy industry. The friendships we built are ones that will last forever as I have seen many of these individuals at Louisville, Annual Meetings, and other dairy events. Currently, I am entering my Junior year at Cornell University majoring in animal science with a dairy concentration, and an anticipated minor in ag business. Along with regular class work, I am very active in Sigma Alpha, a professional sorority for women in agriculture, serving on the executive board as the 2012 treasurer. This past winter, as a member of Cornell University Dairy Science Club, I was able to attend our trip to Italy and learn about agriculture in a different country. I am also a Cornell Traditions Fellow which honors students with a good work ethic and academic achievement. Even at college, I still set aside time to read over the Jersey Journal and sort through the top GJPI listings in the breed. All of my involvement and work I have done with the Jersey breed have allowed me to gain two internships during my summers; one at Scotch View Farm in Stamford, N.Y., and the other at D&E Jerseys in Hilmar, Calif. The experiences and confidence I have gained while working at both of these operations are lessons that cannot be found in a classroom. As for my future plans, I will graduate from Cornell in May 2014. Beyond, that I hope to carry on the legacy which my great-grandfather Stanley Chittenden began, by working with and breeding exceptional Registered Jersey cattle that excel for tomorrow’s commercial dairy setting and markets. Words cannot quantify how I feel about receiving this award and thank you to all of you that have contributed to it. JERSEY JOURNAL
JERSEY YOUTH PROGRAMS
2011 National Jersey Youth Achievement Awards
C
assandra Chittenden was born to carry on the strong lineage of succesful Jersey breeders among the Chittenden Family. She was born the day of the New York State Sale in which her parents served as co-chairs, only to later make her own way in the dairy industry and be named the 2011 National Jersey Youth Achievement Winner. 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, 21 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 to determine this year’s top 10 placings. 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, 2011, 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 3, 2012, during All American festivities in Louisville, Ky.
Cassandra Chittenden Cassandra “Cassie” Chittenden, Dutch Hollow Farm LLC, Schodack Landing, N.Y., has had a busy year since appearing on the 2010 National Youth Achievement Contest as the third place winner. In addition to finishing her second year of college, taking Chittenden part in several oncampus clubs and outreach activities and completing an internship at D&E Jerseys, Hilmar, Calif., Cassie served as the first Alternate National Jersey Queen. Cassie is september 2012
part of a long list of Top 10 Youth Achievement winners to hail from Master Breeders, Dutch Hollow Farm LLC. Cassie, the third generation of the Chittenden family to participate in Jersey youth programs, is the daughter of Brian and Beth Chittenden, and granddaughter of Melanie Chittenden and former AJCA president and Distinguished Service honoree, Paul Chittenden. Cassie is the fifth member of this Jersey family to see their names among the Top 10 Youth Achievement winners behind her grandfather, father, aunt and uncle. She is a sophomore at Cornell University where she is pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in animal science with a focus in dairy science, with plans to adopt an agribusiness minor. Cassandra is a member of the Sigma Alpha Professional Sorority for Women in Agriculture, which she served as Philanthropy Chair, the Cornell University Dairy Science Club, the New York State Junior Dairy leaders and interned at Scotch View Farm, Stamford, N.Y., in 2011. In addition to climbing the ranks of the achievement contest, Cassie has grown her Jersey herd to 24 heifers and 28 cows. In 2011 the DHIR m.e. production on 24 records in her herd was 21,022–1,033– 732. 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. In the 2011 her herd had an average appraisal score of 81% on 33 head, with two Excellent and 24 Very Good animals. Others have also noticed the quality of Cassie’s animals, as she has sent five bulls into A.I. service and recently sold a heifer in the Pot O’Gold Sale. “My cows are my motivator to be so passionate about agriculture,” said Chittenden. “This industry has grown to be a piece of me, in the case that our industry is lost, it would be as if a piece of me was lost as well.” Cassie has used her passion for the Jersey breed to help promote the dairy industry and agriculture through various platforms. In December 2011, Cassie spoke to National Public Radio listeners of “The Takeaway” segment, where she discussed
the proposed change to national farm labor laws for children. She has 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. In 2006, she took second place in the 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 both classes of the Jersey Youth Academy and participated in a youth roundtable for the September 2008 Jersey Journal. At The 2011 All American Junior Jersey Show, Cassie was awarded the Sunbow Trophy for Top Producing Cow of the show, in addition to winning a PA Protein Award for her junior two-year-old, GR Dutch Hollow Gannon Glide during The 2011 All American Jersey Show. 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. As she heads back to school this fall, Cassie will continue her dairy science education. While hitting the books, Cassie will pay special attention to calf management and herd health, the two areas she is most passionate about. With a family steeped in dairy tradition and commitment to the Jersey breed, Cassie hopes to follow in the footsteps of those before her as a successful Registered Jersey breeder. Cassandra N. Krull Moving up four spots to second place is current National Jersey Queen Cassandra “Cassy” N. Krull, Shining Star Dairy Cattle, Lake Mills, Wis. As she completes her final few weeks promoting the Jersey breed nationally, Cassy has her sights set on a new distinction, Alice in Dairyland, the Wisconsin agriculture ambassador position. Cassy’s herd posted an m.e. average of 15,568–817–576 on seven records. (continued to page 20)

Youth Achievement Contest (continued from page 19)
Among her Jersey girls, are several registered Holsteins in her name. She recently finished her freshman year at Allen Community College, Iola, Kan., with plans to return to her family farm, Krull Farms, and follow her late father’s example. “I have realized that farming and Krull agriculture is where I belong and I do not see myself anywhere else but following my father’s footsteps as a successful young dairy farmer and agriculture enthusiast.” Cassy’s enthusiasm for the dairy industry began on her family’s Holstein farm, which later incorporated Jerseys into the herd when Santa Claus brought Cassy exactly what she wanted for Christmas—a little brown cow. After 16 years of owning Jerseys, Cassy has become very aware of the many benefits of Registered Jerseys. “Not only is the Jersey cow converting more pounds of feed to milk, but also producing more pounds of milk per pound of body weight,” she noted of her Jerseys compared to other breeds at her family farm. “This trait allows the Jersey cow to be less expensive than a Holstein or Brown Swiss, which eats twice as much.” At the 2011 All American Jersey Show, Cassy spent her weekend in more than her sash and crown, wearing many hats as she exhibited the fourth place Junior threeyear-old in both the All American open and junior show. She also entered the third place National Jersey Jug Futurity animal, Ratliff Sambo Demi-ET, which she anxiously cheered on from her seat in the ring with the rest of the royalty court. In addition to countless ribbons and banners from shows throughout Wisconsin and on the green shavings of the national show, Cassy has cultivated some laurels for her excellent showmanship skills. Most recently, she topped the senior division of the Jefferson County (WI) 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. Cassy aspires to further her national Jersey involvement and leadership by
serving on the national Jersey board of directors, in addition to serving her state and local Jersey organizations. She wants to continue learning as much as possible about the breed and industry through many different Jersey-related activities. Those ambitions have carried her through many tasks and adventures. During the past year she has given several public speeches, including her responsibilities as National Jersey Queen. When she crowns the next National Jersey Queen in November, Cassy will not be finished with her Jersey involvement.
She plans on continuing to learn and grow as a Registered Jersey breeder and agriculture enthusiast. Natalie Sanders Making her first appearance on the National Jersey Youth Achievement list in third place is Natalie Sanders, Fire-Lake Jerseys, Hilmar, Calif. She just began her junior year at Modesto Junior College, where she is studying dairy science and agricultural business. Once she has completed her degree, she plans to transfer to a four-year institution to further her agricul(continued to page 22)

Youth Achievement Contest (continued from page 21)
tural-based education. Natalie has many exciting plans laid out for her future, and most of the items begin and end with her Jersey herd at Fire-Lake Jerseys, of which she is co-owner. She is very active with the management of the farm and rarely misses a day of activity with her 250 head Sanders of mixed breeds, 150 of which carry a Jersey pedigree. “I can honestly say that I do not believe that I would be exactly where I am without the wonderful Jersey cow,” wrote Natalie of her Jersey involvement. “By becoming involved with Jerseys, I have found a world of opportunity. The Jersey industry is filled with amazing people I have had the honor of meeting and getting to know.” One of those opportunities was the Jersey Youth Academy, in which Natalie was a member of the first two classes. Activities like the academy have allowed her to make Jersey friends and valuable contacts with Jersey and dairy industry leaders across the country. She also many other leadership experiences through her involvement with the California Junior Jersey Association, 4-H and the California Women for Agriculture organization. Natalie has also experienced much success with dairy judging, even earning
the opportunity to travel to Scotland to take part in the International Dairy Judging Contest after her Modesto Junior College team took first place at the World Dairy Expo and Eastern States Exposition Intercollegiate judging contests in 2011. As an individual, Natalie placed third overall at the Eastern States Exposition Judging Contest, fourth at the All American Judging contest and 10th at the North American International Livestock Exposition judging contest, all in 2011. She also placed fourth overall and second in Jerseys at the 2010 Fort Worth Stock Show Collegiate Judging Contest. In the Fire-Lake herd, Natalie owns 30 Registered Jersey heifers and 27 Registered Jersey cows, in addition to two Holsteins and one Brown Swiss animal. She has nine cows appraised Excellent with 12 more appraised Very Good, averaging a score of 87.3% on 21 head. These high-scoring Jerseys have also done well in shows, earning Natalie several champion banners, including Premier Exhibitor of the 2011 California State Fair Junior Jersey show. She exhibited the Reserve Junior Champion of The All American Junior Jersey Show and the All American Summer Yearling Heifer in 2009. She also exhibited the Supreme Champion of the Great Western Livestock Show and California State Fair, and Grand Champion of the California Spring Jersey Show, California State Fair and the Western National Junior Jersey Show. With the success Natalie has had from her Jersey herd, it is no surprise she is looking to transition her herd to all Jersey.
“I plan to start using Registered Jersey semen on all cows and start to develop the herd,” said Natalie. “I know that life in the dairy industry can be challenging, but I do not see my life going any other direction that the Jersey and dairy industries.” Local dairy associations have also acknowledged this youth’s success, with Natalie accepting scholarships from the Hilmar Cheese Company and the Central Valley Jersey breeders, both in 2011. As she continues to help manage the FireLake dairy herd, Natalie can make direct applications from her dairy science degree, and look forward to future endeavors on the farm after college. Kelli Ann Carstensen For the third time, Kelli Ann Carstensen, Petaluma, Calif., has been named to the list of National Youth Achievement contest winners, taking fourth place for a second consecutive year. Although she may not have the same Jersey lineage as some of her peers, Kelli has mapped out a successful career for herself in the Jersey and dairy industry. She has successfully made a name for herself in the Jersey industry as the Second Alternate National Jersey Queen in 2011 and participated in the second Jersey Youth Academy. 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 Carstensen Good-83% and has produced five offspring for this young Kelli’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,” and “Lilly,” Kelli has never had to purchase an animal. Her accumulation of Jersey cows has been on her own account (continued to page 24)

and is completely 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. Kelli began an embryo project in 2010, buying two embryos from Canada. One resulted in a heifer she flushed with plans to sell embryos of her own. Through this project, she has been able to help finance her education at Cal Poly. “Sustainability is the new trend, and people are looking to produce their own livelihood,” said Kelli. “Since my animals are pets by temperament, I have already sold at least 10 animals as family milk cows, which has helped pay for college in a huge way.” Kelli just finished her junior 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 work within the genetics field of the dairy industry, and eventually establish and operate a small Registered Jersey dairy of her own. “With my love for the Jersey breed, there is no way that I will ever be without them,” wrote Kelli of her future plans. “With my herd, I hope to eventually begin my own business of buying, raising, and selling live Jerseys and embryos worldwide.” 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, most recently winning the Gordon Family Trophy for taking first place in the senior showmanship contest at The 2011 Pennsylvania All American Junior Jersey Show. Kelli also placed as the sixth high individual at the All-American Dairy Show and as the ninth high individual at the Big E Collegiate Judging Contest. 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. Kara Maxwell Moving up two spots in the National Youth Achievement Contest this year is Kara Maxwell, Donahue, Iowa. Kara is the daughter of John Maxwell, Cinnamon Ridge Jerseys, and was a 2012 graduate of North Scott High School. As Kara prepares to start school this Page 24
fall at Iowa State University, where she will study agricultural business and dairy science, this young Jersey breeder has a plethora of goals for her future. Kara is off to a good start as she placed first in the 2011 Youth Production Contest and has been part of several Jersey youth programs, including Jersey Youth Academy and TalkJersey. Helping set the pace for her future in the dairy industry is her herd of 21 Maxwell Registered Jersey cows and 29 Registered Jersey heifers. The 2011 m.e. average on her group of Jerseys was 22,146–1,102–826 on 21 records. In 2011, Kara had five animals produce Hall of Fame Records, in addition to two animals that achieved the same laurel in 2009. Kara placed second in the 2010 National Jersey Youth Production Contest, placing in the contest a total of four times, and has placed among the Top 20 participants in the Pot O’Gold Production Contest four times, including her most recent win. Also in 2009, Kara had the Iowa State Fair Top Production and Combined Fat and Protein Record of the Junior 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 22-24 months of age. She is also a proponent of incorporating new technology into their farm management program. “Genomics is the key to the future of the dairy industry, and the Jersey breed will benefit greatly by getting involved in this tremendous discovery,” said Kara, noting the high-level of encouragement of these tools from the AJCA. “For genomics to successfully be implemented into herds, I believe farmers need to experience and reap the benefits for themselves.” In addition to caring for her Jersey herd, Kara has many extra-curricular activities in high school. She received the prestigious Governors Award in 2011, which is awarded to the top two students in each state high school with the highest grade point average. 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 named president of her school National Honor Society. Kara was
also chosen as a delegate to the prestigious Hugh 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. “Since I manage our farm, it is up to me to make critical decision,” she wrote of her learning experiences from owning Registered Jerseys. “Jerseys have outlined a tremendous passion I want to pursue and showed me how I can make the most significant difference in this world.” As Kara begins a new chapter in her life that will allow her even more and varied experiences in the dairy industry, she has set high goals for herself. “To reach my goals, I must be never completely satisfied with what I’ve done,” she wrote. “The only way to truly reach the top is to continue to always reach for higher goals.” Dylan Ellenburg Making his first appearance on the National Youth Achievement Contest is Dylan Ellenburg, Aspen Grove Jerseys, Morristown, Tenn., who was named the sixth place winner of the 2011 contest. Dylan, who just completed his senior year of high school, is aspiring to become a veterinarian, like his grandfather, Dan Parks. With future plans to attend Virginia Tech to obtain a Bachelor of Science degree in dairy science, Dylan plans to continue his studies and attended the Virginia Tech College of Veterinary Science. Dylan’s interest in dairy science stems from his involvement with his grandfather’s dairy, Aspen Grove Jerseys. He grew up helping on a daily basis, bottle feeding calves, cleaning and bedding stalls, and assisting with health care practices like vaccinations, deworming and dehorning. He is employed Ellenburg as a milker at Aspen Grove, taking over milking responsibilities on weekends and when not in school. It is through these tasks Dylan has learned a well-balanced approach to dairy management. “I have learned how to evaluate data in order to make informed decisions in areas such as sire selection and selecting animals for consignment sales,” wrote Dylan of his Jersey experiences. “My accomplishments have improved my confidence in making decisions while my failures have helped JERSEY JOURNAL
me to learn to improve my skills.” One of the greatest learning experiences for Dylan has been being able to help with sale selections and negotiations for bull contracts with A.I. organizations. He currently has four bulls contracted to A.I. services from his herd, which consists of 25 heifers and 35 cows. Dylan has four bulls undergoing genomic testing for A.I. and seven bull contracts from A.I. organizations for cows currently pregnant. He also helped raise and develop Keystone Duke Braveheart, a proven bull currently at Genex that ranked 13th on the December 2011 Historical list. In 2011, Dylan’s herd had an m.e. of 17,587—884—610 on 34 records. Also in 2011, Dylan was recognized with three first place animals in the Tennessee Jersey Youth Production Contest and the Tennessee Jersey Cattle Club (TJCC) Production Awards, which is the fifth time he has had winners in the Tennessee Jersey Youth Production Contest. Also in 2011, Dylan was awarded the Clyde Chappell Award, presented by the University of Tennessee Agricultural Extension, for outstanding junior Jersey achievemen. He won the Eastern Regional 4-H Senior High Portfolio Dairy Project and was given the Premier Exhibitor Award in the Senior Division by the TJCC. On the national level, Dylan was a member of the Jersey Youth Academy. On the tanbark, Dylan was named the Premier Breeder and was awarded Premier Performance Awards at the 2011 Tennessee State Junior Show, in addition to winning banners for Grand Champion, Reserve Grand Champion, Senior Champion, Junior Champion and Best Bred by Junior, at shows throughout Tennessee and two out-of-state regional shows. Dylan prides himself on the quality of his Jersey herd and his well-rounded experience within the dairy industry. He is looking forward to continuing his involvement with his Jersey herd throughout his college years and learning more about the value of the Jersey breed. Corbin Wood After placing 10th in the 2010 National Jersey Youth Achievement Contest, Corbin Wood of Penn Gate Farm, Littlestown, Pa., has moved up three spots to place seventh in the 2011 contest. Corbin, the son of Steve and Christine Wood, just finished his sophomore year at Penn StatePennsylvania College of Technology, 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 60-head of Holsteins. Corbin purchased his first Jersey more than a decade ago, and now owns eight Registered Jersey heifers and four Registered Jersey cows, in addition to 12 Holsteins. “First and foreWood most, my Jersey experiences have taught me vital business management skills that have been
very beneficial,” wrote Corbin of his Jersey experiences. “Several years ago, I started my own Jersey herd, now a decade later, I am proud to say I have bred, owned, and developed 25 head of Jerseys.” While he learned valuable financial management skills from his Jersey endeavors, Corbin has been able to carve his own niche into his family business with his Jersey herd consisting of six cows and six heifers. While growing up, when not feeding the calves or doing chores around the dairy, Corbin spent time tinkering in his grandfather’s shop, where he learned a (continued to page 26)

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 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 developed a knack for fitting and showmanship, both of which he regularly competes in competitions. Through his involvement with FFA and 4-H, Corbin was able to showcase his showmanship skills on both the state and national levels, taking home several awards for each. Judging contests, essay contests, display contests and speech contests have also been an area of excellence for Corbin
Page 26
where he has been able to offer his learning and expertise to hundreds of listeners. In 2011, he took home first place honors in the state prepared speech contest for his speech, “Farmers Feeding the World.” 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 talk “Chocolate Milk, the New Sports Drink Sensation.” Corbin was named the 2011 Pennsylvania State Jersey Youth Achievement winner and has been awarded several scholarships, including the Bob Toole Jersey Youth Award from the AJCA. While he continues to explore how he can make an impact in the agricultural industry and maintain his Jersey herd, Corbin is looking forward to his dairy future. Hannah Renea Bachman One of five newcomers to the Top 10 of the National Youth Achievement is Hannah Renea Bachman, Wellwyn Farm, Ulysses, Pa. Hannah just started her junior year at Penn State University, where she is studying agribusiness management. At home on the farm, Hannah owns five Registered Jersey heifers and three Jersey cows, in Bachman addition to her 12 Holsteins. Her family milks about 20 cows-a mixture of Holsteins, Brown Swiss and Hannah’s Jerseys-and use the milk to make cheese. “The combination between these three breeds provides the perfect milk for God’s Country Creamery Cheese,” wrote Hannah of her home herd. “Because our cheese depends on the high component milk from our Jerseys, they will always have a place on our farm and creamery.” Her Jersey herd has a 2011 m.e. average of 18,742–937–712 on three records. Hannah’s herd also provides opportunities for her future at the family farm and creamery. Her goals are to use the Jerseys to expand the creamery product line. She understands the importance of breeding cows that exemplify superior type and excel in milk production. She is also aware of the strengths and weaknesses of each breed and is constantly looking for ways to improve her Jersey herd to see maximum milk production and extended herd life. Hannah has also worked to breed cows
that look as good as they milk. In 2011, she exhibited the Overall Grand Champion at the Penn State Dairy Expo, where she was also named the Grand Champion Showman and Reserve Grand Champion Fitter. She also took fifth place in the Penn State Spring Judging Contest. “I realize from working with Jerseys that they have a determination that is evident, and I also realize that if I have even a small percent of their determination, I would be able to achieve significant challenges,” wrote Hannah of her showing and fitting experiences with the Jersey breed. “I have learned a lot from breaking my Jersey calves to lead for the shows, and the main attribute I have acquired is dedication.” In 2011, she won the National DHIA Scholarship, the Pennsylvania Jersey Scholarship, was named the Outstanding First Year Dairy Science Club Member at Penn State and was named the Pennsylvania Jersey Senior Achievement winner. She was awarded the William A. Russell Memorial Scholarship in 2010. As she continues her involvement with the Jersey breed and explores the many benefits of the brown cow, Hannah is looking forward to breeding high-quality milk cows that look good and make a tangible impact on her family’s creamery. Abby Tauchen Abby Tauchen, Tauchen Harmony Valley, Inc., Bonduel, Wis., is accepting her first National Youth Achievement Contest award after placing ninth in the 2011 contest. After purchasing her first Jersey animal during the 2004 National Pot O’Gold Sale, Abby has seen the Jersey herd on her family farm jump from that family farm jump from that first purchase to approximately 100 brown cows. Soon to be beginning her junior year at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls, where she is studying dairy science, Abby has enjoyed the past eight years of owning Registered Jerseys. After adding the smaller framed animals to her family’s all Holstein herd, the Tauchens saw an in crease in fat and protein, calving ease and feed efficiency, which furthered their interest in the breed. Her herd has an m.e. average of 20,272– 931–675 on six records. She hopes to expand her herd to 25-head by the time she graduates college. “By going to college I am learning new technologies to bring back to my family’s farm to ensure we have the right management, environmentally friendly facility and cow comfort,” said Abby of her learning experiences. “My herd has grown since I purchased my first calf and I would like to continue to expand with high pro(continued to page 28)

duction, genetics and type.” Abby soon took her Jersey interest to the next level as she began participating in Jersey events on local and national levels. In 2011 Abby sold two heifers at The All American Sale, giving her the opportunity to share her solid breeding program with the Jersey industry. She was a participant in the inaugural Jersey Youth Academy class in 2009 and exhibited the Premier Perfor mance Tauchen Cow at The All American Open and Junior Shows later that same year. In 2010 she returned to The All American tanbark to exhibit the Junior Champion of the junior show. The following year she ventured onto another stage to accept the Wisconsin Jersey Association Senior Youth Award and be crowned the Wisconsin Jersey Queen. She has used the many resources outlets available for her at UW-River Falls, where she is actively involved in the University Dairy Club, Block and Bridle Club and Association of Women in Agriculture. Outside of those activities, Abby works at the Mann Valley Lab Farm in River Falls where she is responsible for ensuring 100head dairy herd is milked properly to reach
maximum production. Upon finishing her degree, Abby hopes to work as a dairy cattle nutritionist. While she makes direct applications from her dairy science program to her growing herd at home, Abby is looking forward to further advancing the genetic value of her Jersey herd. Valery Silva Rounding out the top 10 list is a new name, Valery Silva, Sunset Canyon Jerseys, Beaver, Ore. Upon arriving in Oregon from Russia, this now 19-year-old knew cows would play a big role in his life after adjusting to life on the farm. “I had no idea about life on the farm, being around cows or living in the country with fresh air and mountains,” wrote Valery of his initial reactions upon his arrival. “When I first saw the cows I just wanted to reach out and touch them, once I made that contact, I knew I wanted to be around them.” As he built his life in Oregon, he also worked hard to build his herd to five Jersey heifers and nine Jersey cows. In 2011, Valery’s herd had an average m.e. of 19,921 lbs. milk, Silva 954 lbs. fat and 723 lbs. protein. Of his nine cows, six are appraised Excellent, with three receiving

Very Good scores. Valery is excited to see not only what the future holds for him as he plans to continue his successful high school wrestling career into the collegiate arena, but what lies ahead for the Jersey dairy industry and his herd. He enjoys being able to help with all aspects of the farm, including to opportunity to learn about making genetic decisions within the Sunset Canyon herd and focusing on the traits that make the Jersey cow special. “The Jersey’s edge is her fertility, milk concentrates, productive life and her environmental impact,” wrote Valery of the Jersey benefits, noting that producers and value-added product manufacturers should be hearing this rhetoric often. “I strongly believe we need to expand the number of Jersey cattle into growing dairy markets such as China and Russia.” In addition to his interest in genetics and the foreign dairy market, Valery has developed animals that fill the bulk tank and grab attention in the showring. In 2011, he placed fourth in the Pot O’Gold Production Contest and exhibited the high production award winner at the Western National Jersey Show. Valery took home the Grand Champion banner for his Intermediate Champion Junior three-yearold at the 2011 Western National Junior Show. In the same year he also exhibited the Junior Champion at The All American Junior Show, the Central National Jersey Show, the Tillamook County Fair, the (continued to page 93)

YOUTH PRODUCTION CONTESTS
Iowa and Washington Juniors Top Production Contests
S
easoned Jersey breeders have once again earned the top spots in the youth production contests sponsored by the American Jersey Cattle Association. The high marks reward them for their careful attention to managing and caring for their animals and for choices in the breeding program. Many of the entries descend from foundation animals that were gifts early in their careers or trace to purchases made through state Pot of Gold programs or the national Pot O’Gold program. The 35 juniors that placed in the 2011 National Jersey Youth Production Contest and the 2012 Pot O’Gold Production Contest will be honored for their achievements on November 3, 2012, at the Junior Banquet, which wraps up Junior Day at All American festivities in Louisville, Ky. Kara Maxwell, Donahue, Iowa, will be recognized for winning the 2011 National Jersey Youth Production Contest with her entry, Cinnamon Ridge Rasmus Lily. For the second time, Michael R. Kortus, Lynden, Wash., will be honored for topping the Pot O’Gold Production Contest. His winning entry for the 2012 contest is Kilgus Finalist Gem-ET. The 22 winners in the Pot O’Gold Production Contest will receive cash prizes and certificates. The 20 winners in the National Jersey Youth Production Contest will be given plaques and cash awards made possible by Jersey breeders who consign their animals to the National Heifer Sale. Each year, 10% of the proceeds from this sale are designated for youth program support, including the National Jersey Youth Production Contest. Records for both production contests are ranked by the multiple component pricing dollar value of the record. Dollar value is determined by calculating the 305-day mature equivalent (m.e.), then applying the Net Merit Dollars component values that are used for genetic evaluations from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The component values are $1.63 per pound fat, $1.94 per pound protein and $0.0286 per pound volume.
National Youth Production Contest This contest recognizes the efforts of junior owners to compile and utilize official production records on their animals. Through this one activity, youth gain experience in using records to manage and breed their Jersey cows and understand the value Page 32
of production. To qualify for the competition, cows must have completed a lactation of no more than 305 days during the calendar year. The contest is divided into two divisions. Division I is for first-lactation cows that calve before they reach 30 months-of-age; Division II is for all other cows. Participants are eligible for an award in only one division and an overall contest winner is recognized.
Kara Maxwell won the 2011 National Jersey Youth Production Contest with her entry, Cinnamon Ridge Rasmus Lily. She has placed in the National Jersey Youth Production contest three of the past four years and in the Pot O’Gold Production Contest three times.
Michael Kortus won the 2012 Pot O’Gold Production Contest with Kilgus Finalist GemET. Though “Gem” is no longer in the herd, the junior has other standouts from which to build his herd, including Mainstream Final Remember, Excellent-91%, a granddaughter of his winning entry for the 2003 National Youth Production Contest, Lagerweys Hallmark Redrose.
A junior is eligible to win the overall National Jersey Youth Production Contest just once. Total cash awards are $550. Each division winner receives $100. The second
place honoree receives $75; third takes home $50; and fourth receives $25. The overall winner gets an additional $50, bringing their award to $150. This year, 104 qualified entries from 55 juniors were received. The 20 animals ranked in this year’s contest have an m.e. average of 25,605–1,216–901 and a dollar value average of $4,462.64. Division II The winner of Division II of the National Jersey Youth Production Contest is the overall winner as well. Cinnamon Ridge Rasmus Lily, owned by Kara Maxwell, completed a second lactation with a dollar value of $5,122.21 and an m.e. of 30,620– 1,296–1,100. Actual production on the 3-0 record is 25,380 lbs. milk, 1,107 lbs. fat and 933 lbs. protein in 305 days. The five-year-old daughter of Yosemite Lemvig Brook Rasmus, GJPI +63, has since completed her third lactation of 24,600 lbs. milk, 1,016 lbs. fat and 900 lbs. protein at 3-11 and is due with her fourth calf by All Lynns Vibrant Sebastian, GJPI +203, in mid-October. Kara’s herd is managed with the rest of the herd at Cinnamon Ridge Dairy, owned by Kara and her elder sister, Amy, father, John, and uncle, Edwin. Kara owns about 40 Registered Jerseys in her name and another 50 in partnership with Amy. Cows are currently housed at Bohnert Jerseys in East Moline, Ill., but will be moved to Cinnamon Ridge Dairy when a new freestall barn and parlor with robotic milkers is completed in November. Though she has been doing chores on the farm since she can remember, Kara got a calf of her own as an early Christmas present when she was nine years old. “It didn’t change any of my responsibilities on the farm,” recalled Kara. “But the fact that I actually owned an animal at that point was a big deal.” This calf, Paramount Sue, was a purchase from the Pot O’Gold Sale in 2003. Kara found success in production contests early as “Sue” placed in the Pot O’Gold Production Contest in 2006 with her first lactation and in the National Youth Production Contest in 2008 with her third lactation. Kara has purchased three other heifers in Pot O’Gold Sales in the years since. All have placed in the Pot O’Gold Production Contest, including Jazzy Impuls 3084, who (continued to page 34)

placed sixth in this year’s contest. “My main objective has always been to improve milk production,” stated Kara. “I try to accomplish this with management, feeding and genetics.” The effort is working for the productionminded junior, whose 2011 herd average stands at 18,935 lbs. milk, 956 lbs. fat and 711 lbs. protein on 21 cows. Five members of the milking string produced Hall of Fame records in 2011, including “Lily” and “Impuls 3084.” Page 34
Kara has also begun to use genomic evaluations to make herd management decisions. Twins out of “Lily,” two daughters of “Impuls 3084” and several other heifers have been genotyped. One of the genotyped heifers, Cinnamon Ridge Valentino Frosty, ranks on the list of the Top 500 Heifers for GJPI with an index of +205. Kara is a freshman in the honors program at Iowa State University, where she is double majoring in agriculture business and dairy science. She placed fourth in this year’s National Jersey Youth Achievement Contest and received the William A.
Russell Memorial Scholarship. She was a member of the second class of Jersey Youth Academy in 2011. Placing second in the division for older cows is a junior who earned second in the younger division of the contest last year with the same cow—Ryan Lawton, Newark Valley, N.Y., and Normandell Geronimo Violet. The Very Good-83% daughter of C-Bar Hallmark Geronimo, GJPI +69, produced a 3-0 record with a dollar value of $4,989.81 and an m.e. of 28,611–1,350–1,016. Actual production on the record is 24,870 lbs. milk, 1,222 lbs. fat JERSEY JOURNAL
and 908 lbs. protein. Ryan purchased “Violet” from Normandell Farms, Liberty, Pa., in the Pennsylvania Pot of Gold Sale in 2008. She has proven to be a sound investment for the seventh grader. She has calved three times with three heifer calves and is working on her third record in excess of 21,000 lbs. milk. She freshened in mid-January, peaked with 104 lbs. milk on her April test and is projected to make more than 25,000 lbs. milk this lactation. “Violet’s” oldest daughter, Lawtons TBone Volcano, appraised Very Good-86% and has an m.e. of 19,539–1,068–713 on her first lactation. “Violet’s” second daughter, Lawtons Action Victoria, was named Junior Champion of the Broome County (N.Y.) Junior Jersey Show this summer. Ryan has helped to build his herd, which now includes six milking cows and 10 heifers, with three purchases from the national Pot O’Gold Sale—two in his ownership and one in partnership with his brother, Nathan. Ryan’s purchase from the sale in 2009, SAR Walker Harley, Very Good-85%, placed 12th in this year’s Pot O’Gold Production Contest. Another junior returning to the top rankings in Division II of the youth production contest is Colin R. Russell, Hilmar, Calif. His entry, Yosemite Abe Futurity H2486, made a record with a dollar value of $4,390.09 and an m.e. of 25,911–1,108– 950. Actual production for the 3-1 record is 26,500 lbs. milk, 1,101 lbs. fat and 961 lbs. protein (3x milking). The Very Good-83% daughter of Ahlem Lemvig Abe-ET, GJPI +147, is a model of Jersey reproductive efficiency. She produced a subsequent record of 4-4 260 3x 22,700 4.1% 938 3.7% 831 97DCR and freshened in mid-July with her fourth calf at 5-4 and gave 87 lbs. milk on her first test. Colin has placed in the youth production contest two of the past three years, each time with homebred entries. He was a member of the second class of Jersey Youth Academy. A fellow member of that Jersey Youth Academy class, Tommy Allen, Reedsburg, Wis., places fourth with Rocha Impuls Whitney. The Very Good-89% daughter of ISDK Q Impuls, GJPI +175, produced a record with a dollar value of $4,353.97 and an m.e. of 26,447–1,105–926. Actual production for the 4-4 record is 30,680 lbs. milk, 1,271 lbs. fat and 1,034 lbs. protein (3x milking). She calved in December 2010 and gave more than 100 lbs. milk on four monthly tests, peaking in March with 134 lbs. milk. Tommy purchased “Whitney” from the Pot O’Gold Sale in 2007. She placed 10th in (continued to page 36)

milk, 1,129 lbs. fat and 832 lbs. protein. The high school junior has been involved with Jersey youth projects for five years. Her herd of three cows and two heifers—daughters of “Ginger Snap” —is managed with the Holstein herd owned by her parents. Emily begged her parents for a Jersey as a youth project after she became acquainted with the breed during judging practices at Hope Acres LLC in Brogue, Pa. When it came time to choose a calf, they looked through the heifer pens at Hope Acres and selected “Ginger Snap.” She has proven her worth not only in the milk pail, but as an equity booster as well. Her daughter by Sunset Canyon Amenity, GJPI +11, is due to calve this fall. Her polled daughter by Maack Dairy EclipesP-ET, GJPI +86, was a member of Emily’s show string this summer. Emily also found success with her judging skills in recent years. She was a member of the York County dairy judging team that competed at the Pennsylvania All-American Dairy Show and was third high individual overall. As important, she is serving as a mentor for her younger brothers, Max and Grant, who are following in her footsteps with Jerseys. In her last year of eligibility, Avery Lutz, Radford, Va., places second with Matinee Lucky L Bernice, a purchase from the 2009 North Carolina Pot of Gold Sale. The Very Good-87% daughter of Sunset Canyon Matinee-ET, GJPI +135, produced a record with a dollar value of $4,790.46 and an m.e. of 28,449–1,296–961. Actual production on the 1-11 record is 19,840 lbs. milk, 925 lbs. fat and 677 lbs. protein in 290 days. Avery purchased “Bernice” from Dennis T. Leamon, Statesville, N.C. She was the high-producing Jersey owned by a junior in the state in 2011 and topped the 2012 North Carolina Pot of Gold Production Contest. Avery consigned her to The All American Jersey Sale in 2011, where she was purchased by Adrie Vanderjagt, Sulpher Springs, Texas. Avery will be able to build on “Bernice’s” genetics as she retains her two daughters in the Deerview Jerseys herd owned by her family. Nathan Lawton, Newark Valley, N.Y., places third in the production contest and second in the 2012 Pot O’Gold Production Contest with GR Clemson Dale 783 907. His purchase from Clemson University in Clemson, S.C., produced a first lactation with a dollar value of $4,747.49 and an m.e. of 27,689–1,352–903. The Very Good82% daughter of PR Oomsdale Jace Gratit Garden-ET, GJPI +162, produced an actual record of 21,340 lbs. milk, 1,039 lbs. fat (continued to page 40)

protein (3x milking). “Gadget’s” pedigree traces five generations back to Cassie’s first Jersey calf, Huestis Brook Gail, Excellent-91%. “Gail” placed in the AJCA Leading Living Lifetime Production Contest three times and ended her career with 233,233 lbs. milk, 12,435 lbs. fat and 9,084 lbs. protein. Cassie placed in the youth production contest three times with her descendants and sent several bulls from this cow family to A.I. A Jersey junior who has placed in six of the past seven Jersey Youth Production Contests, Emily Jane Chittenden, Schodack Landing, N.Y., rounds out the top five placings in the division for younger cows with Dutch Hollow Jevon Essence. The daughter of Forest Glen Meccas Jevon-ET, GJPI +99, produced a first lactation with a dollar value of $4,623.56 and an m.e. of 26,466–1,301–900. Actual production for her 1-9 record is 21,920 lbs. milk, 1,052 lbs. fat and 723 lbs. protein (3x milking). She completed a second lactation over 21,900 lbs. as well.
“Essence” is a granddaughter of the cow that earned Emily three of her high rankings in the youth production contest, Dutch Hollow Paramount Emlee-ET, Excellent-90%. Descendants also rank among the breed’s best for genetic merit. Like her cousin Cassie, Emily has sent numerous bulls from this cow family to A.I. Other juniors who will be recognized for placing in Division I of the National Jersey Youth Production Contest are: Tricia Jo Kirchdoerfer, Cape Girardeau, Mo.; Maxwell S. Chittenden, Schodack Landing, N.Y.; Amber Ettinger, Kinards, S.C.; Mandy Nicole Lutz, Lincolnton, N.C.; and Clayton Kirchdoerfer, Cape Girardeau, Mo. Other juniors who will be honored for placing in Division II are: Theresa Sweeney, Visalia, Calif.; Tyler C. Kirchdoerfer, Cape Girardeau, Mo.; Jasmine Noteboom, Warwick, N.Y.; Katherine Elizabeth Dewitt, Accord, N.Y.; and Meagan E. Chittenden, Schodack Landing, N.Y. 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 2009, 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, $13,379 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, 27 of the 31 entries met the qualifications to compete in the 2012 edition of the contest. The average m.e. production on these entries is 21,827–1,032–778 and the average dollar value is $3,815.61. As mentioned previously, the winner of the 2012 Pot O’Gold Production Contest is Michael Kortus. His entry, Kilgus Finalist Gem-ET, produced a first lactation with a dollar value of $6,847.44.

Actual 305-day production on the 1-11 record is 30,430 lbs. milk, 1,515 lbs. fat and 1,011 lbs. protein, with a cheese yield of 3,492 lbs. The record ranks fifth for milk and cheese yield among yearlings on the current National Class Leader list. “Gem’s” extended 365-day record is 36,400 lbs. milk, 1,816 lbs. fat and 1,226 lbs. protein. In 2009, when Michael traveled to Louisville, Ky., for the Pot O’Gold Sale, “Gem” was on his short list of potential purchases. After all, her pedigree was backed by seven Very Good or Excellent dams and included former world fat champion, Golden MBSB of Twin Haven-ET, Excellent-94%, three generations back, and Daniel Jupiter Gunda, seven back. After he visited with fellow Jersey breeder and sire analyst, Jeff Ziegler, the daughter of BW Finalist, GJPI -17, shot to the top of his list. “Jeff was familiar with the herd at Kilgus Dairy and thought ‘Gem’ would fit the management at our herd perfectly,” said Michael. “As well, he had seen her dam and really liked her.” Michael placed the high bid of $2,600 on the consignment from Paul Kilgus, Fairbury, Ill., and brought her home to the Page 42

family farm, Mainstream Jerseys, which has led the nation for milk, fat and protein production the past six years. “Gem” freshened the following September with her first calf—a heifer—and had five tests over 100 lbs. milk. She peaked in April with 122 lbs. milk and was still giving 72 lbs. milk before she was dried off in September 2011. Michael consigned her daughter, Mainstream TBone Bolden, to The All American Jersey Sale in 2011. Though “Gem” is no longer in the herd because of complications related to her second calving, Michael has a strong foundation of other animals from which to work, including a pair that earned high laurels in previous youth production contests. About 75% of his current herd of 18 cows and 17 heifers traces to Lagerways Hallmark Redrose, Excellent-91%, winner of the National Jersey Youth Production Contest in 2003. “Redrose” has seven records—all over 30,000 lbs. milk—and placed in each category of the 2011 Leading Living Lifetime Production Contest. The other foundation animal that has proved a worthy investment was his purchase from the Pot O’Gold Sale in 2007, Havs Iatola Topaz, Excellent-91%. She won the ensuing production contest and is the

current National Class Leader for yearling cheese yield and fat production and junior three-year-old milk production. “Topaz” recently freshened with a heifer calf by Sunset Canyon Dignitary-ET, GJPI +258. Michael will nearly recoup his investment in “Gem” as he will receive a check in the amount of $2,408.22. He attends Whatcom Community College and plans to enroll at Western Washington University and study accounting. He is in his last year of Jersey youth projects but plans to remain involved with the Registered Jersey herd at Mainstream Jerseys. The second-ranking junior in the Pot O’Gold Production Contest is Nathan Lawton, previously mentioned. Nathan will receive a check for $1,538.59. Placing third in the contest is Jacob Phillips, Golden, Ill., with Woodstock Jevon Rudi. The “Jevon” daughter produced a first lactation with a dollar value of $4,332.63. Actual production on the 2-5 record is 20,990 lbs. milk, 1,024 lbs. fat and 697 lbs. protein. Jacob is a senior at Illinois College studying computer science. His herd includes a dozen cows and an equal number of heifers. Cows are managed with the herd at D & D Jerseys, owned by his aunt, Donna Phillips, and her husband, Dan Stock, in Newton, JERSEY JOURNAL
Wis. Heifers are raised at Jacob’s farm in Illinois. Jacob purchased “Rudi” from Woodstock Dairy at the sale in 2009 for $2,000. He will receive a check in the amount of $1,070.32. Juniors ranked fourth, fifth and seventh in the 2012 Pot O’Gold Production Contest are Kirchdoerfer siblings from Kirchdoerfer Dairy Farm in Cape Girardeau, Mo. Tricia placed fourth with D&E Abe Wyonna 21390; Tyler was fifth with Jevon J May and Clayton placed seventh with Nymans Achilles 10646. The siblings are the third generation to breed Registered Jerseys on a farm that has been in the family since 1896. The Kirdchoerfers make a family vacation of their annual trek to Louisville to participate in All American festivities the first weekend in November. They have been routine buyers at the Pot O’Gold Sale, purchasing 18 head amongst the three of them, and are regular award recipients at the Junior Banquet. When it comes to purchasing heifers as foundation animals for their herds, production potential is paramount. “The rule of thumb here is that if you don’t work, you don’t come here,” said the siblings’ grandmother, Mildred. “We want our cattle to look nice, but production pays the bills.” Tricia will receive a check for $869.64 for her entry, “Wyonna 21390.” The “Abe” daughter produced a first lactation with a dollar value of $4,324.66. Actual production for her 1-10 record is 19,680 lbs. milk, 821 lbs. fat and 698 lbs. protein. Tricia purchased “Wyonna 21390” from D & E Jerseys, Hilmar, Calif., for 2,200. The 19-year-old is a sophomore at Southeast Missouri State University majoring in agriculture business. Her herd of 20 cows and heifers has a 2011 herd average of 18,738 lbs. milk, 833 lbs. fat and 652 lbs. protein and includes three Excellent cows. She has placed in the Pot O’Gold Production Contest six of the past seven years. Tyler will receive a check for $802.74 for “May.” She produced a first lactation with a dollar value of $4,297.64. Actual production on her 1-10 record is 18,480 lbs. milk, 794 lbs. fat and 686 lbs. protein. The Very Good-84% “Jevon” daughter has produced a subsequent record of 2-11 305 21,240 4.0% 847 3.6% 763 98DCR. She was purchased from Rowzee Jersey Farm, Newton, Miss., for $3,400. Tyler is a senior at Notre Dame High School. He and Tricia attended the second Jersey Youth Academy. His herd of 40 cows and heifers has a 2011 herd average of 20,048 lbs. milk, 822 lbs. fat and 686 lbs. protein and includes six Excellent cows. Tyler is interested in pedigrees, records and identification and takes a special interest in the mating program. He has placed in the september 2012
Youth Production Contest twice and the Pot O’Gold Production Contest four times. Eleven-year-old Clayton is making his debut in the production contests with his first purchase from the Pot O’Gold Sale and will earn a check for $735.85. He is in charge of identifying cows on test day and enjoys feeding calves. His herd of six cows and heifers has a 2011 herd average of 19,928 lbs. milk, 883 lbs. fat and 701 lbs. protein and includes two Excellent cows.

JERSEY YOUTH PROGRAMS
Eight Students to Receive $17,500 in Scholarships
E
ight Jersey youth continuing their educations in agriculture business, animal science, dairy science and veterinary medicine will receive scholarships totaling $17,500 from the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA). Youth will receive their awards on November 3, 2012, at the Junior Banquet, which concludes the events of Junior Day at The All American Jersey Show in Louisville, Ky. The eight recipients are pursuing higher education at universities and colleges in five states—California, Iowa, Pennsylvania, New York and Virginia. This year, 39 students applied for scholarships from the AJCA. Youth can apply for as many scholarships as they are eligible to compete for. Support for the AJCA scholarship program comes from eight different funds, managed in perpetuity by the AJCA. In order to make available larger scholarship amounts, Jersey breeders can contribute to the funds at any time by contacting the AJCA at 614/322-4456. 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—the late J. J. “Doc” Malnati of Bush River Jerseys, Newberry, S.C. In only its seventh year of establishment, the scholarship has the distinction of being the largest scholarship offered by the AJCA. Russell-Malnati Scholarship for Advanced Studies Kelli Ann Carstensen, Petaluma, Calif., is the recipient of the $5,000 scholarship for
advanced studies. The daughter of Neal and Sally Carstensen is a senior at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo with a major dairy science and a minor in agribusiness management Carstensen placed fourth in the 2011 National Jersey Youth Achievement Contest. She was selected for the second Jersey Youth Academy in 2010 and received the Jack C. Nisbet Memorial Scholarship in 2011. She is the reigning California Jersey Queen and was named second alternate in the National Jersey Queen Carstensen Contest in 2011. Carstensen won senior showmanship at The All American Junior Jersey Show in 2011. She is a member of the Los Lecheros Dairy Club at Cal Poly and served on the Cal Poly Classic Sale Committee. She received a Doris Aileen Krull Scholarship from the university in 2010 and was overall champion of the Cal Poly Fitting and Showing Contest in 2010. Carstensen has also been a member of the university’s dairy judging and dairy quiz bowl teams. She was sixth high individual at the intercollegiate dairy judging contest held at the Pennsylvania All-American Dairy Show in 2011 and ninth high individual in competition at the Eastern States Exposition. While in high school, she was a member of the Petaluma FFA dairy judging team that placed first in the state contest and second in national competition in 2009. She was a member of the dairy quiz bowl team that topped state competition in 2008. Carstensen is secretary and past vice president of the California Junior Jersey Cattle Association. She is a member of National Dairy Shrine and the American Dairy Science Association. Though she did not grow up with Jerseys, it was love at first sight when she was told she could have her pick of calves from a friend’s dairy and laid her eyes on a pneumonia-stricken Jersey she nursed back to health and officially named “Sweetie.” Today Carstensen’s herd, K-Cee Jerseys, numbers 30 head and includes siblings and descendents of “Sweetie.”
Carstensen has a special interest in genetics and has diligently worked to improve each generation of her herd. She initiated an embryo transfer program at K-Cee Jerseys with the purchase of several embryos and has since flushed Homeridge Iatola Lisa, a purchase from the Avonlea Summer Splash III Sale. The 2011 herd average for her milking string of 16 cows is 16,259 lbs. milk, 685 lbs. fat and 579 lbs. protein. The herd includes one Excellent and a dozen Very Good cows. Carstensen has also worked at Red Hill Farms in Petaluma since 2010 and was the genetic services intern at Accelerated Genetics in the summer of 2012. She hopes to land a career in the field of genetics after graduation. See page 22 for more information on Carstensen and the youth achievement contest. William A. Russell Memorial Scholarship Kara Alice Maxwell, Donahue, Iowa, has been named winner of the $1,000 scholarship. The daughter of John Maxwell and Trish Reisener is a freshman at Iowa State University, where she is double majoring in agriculture business and dairy science. Maxwell grew up on Cinnamon R i d g e D a i r y, owned by her father and uncle, Edwin, and has been Maxwell involved with Jersey projects for 14 years. The 2011 herd average for the 21 milking cows in her herd is 18,935 lbs. milk, 956 lbs. fat and 711 lbs. protein. Five members of the milking string earned Hall of Fame records in 2011. With such a strong focus on production, Maxwell has placed in the National Jersey Youth Production three of the past four years and topped the contest in 2011 with Cinnamon Ridge Rasmus Lily. She has also earned a spot among the top 20 in the Pot O’Gold Production Contest three times. Maxwell has taken a special interest in raising heifers at Cinnamon Ridge Dairy and is now responsible for heifer nutrition, (continued to page 46)

vaccinations, dehorning and tattooing, grouping heifers and cleaning pens. She determines breeding schedules and selects service sires and has set a goal to freshen heifers at 22-24 months-of-age and improve herd genetics. Maxwell has begun to incorporate genotyping in herd management and owns a heifer ranked on the list of the Top 500 Heifers for GJPI. Maxwell placed fifth in the 2011 National Jersey Youth Achievement Contest and was selected for the second Jersey Youth Academy in 2010. She has been a leadsperson at the Pot O’Gold Sale the past four years and won Division IV of TalkJersey in 2011 with a speech on sexed semen. She was selected to attend the Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership Conference in 2010 and the National Dairy Conference the following year. She received the Presidential Service Award for community service and the Governor’s Award for academic achievements in 2011. Maxwell organized and led Rotary Reads, a program that read books to first and second graders at the local school on a weekly basis, and volunteered at a local children’s museum on a routine basis. She played varsity soccer for four years and was captain of the cross country team. She was president of the National Honors Society and graduated valedictorian of her class. She would like to widen her experiences by studying abroad during school, work on the Iowa State University dairy farm and participate in dairy related internships. Ultimately, she would like to manage a Registered Jersey farm of her own. See page 24 for more information on Maxwell and the youth achievement contest. 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 Dylan Brice Ellenburg, Morristown, Tenn., as the recipient of this $1,000 scholarship. The grandson of Daniel and Mitzi Parks is a freshman at New River Community College in Dublin, Va., majoring in animal science. Ellenburg has been involved with Jersey youth projects for 10 years. His herd of 25 cows and 35 heifers is managed with Aspen Grove Jerseys, owned by his grandfather. Ellenburg lends a hand with all aspects of the dairy farm and is also a DHIA technician for three other dairy herds. He evaluates pedigrees, is involved with mating decisions and participates in negotiations Page 46
for bull contracts with A.I. organizations. The 2011 lactation average for his herd is 17,587 lbs. milk, 884 lbs. fat and 610 lbs. protein. The herd includes six Very Good cows and two Desirable cows and has an average appraisal of 83%. Four young bulls are undergoing genomic testing for admission to young sire sampling programs; another seven contracts are pending from conf irmed pregnancies. Ellenburg Production has been a hallmark of the cows Ellenburg breeds and exhibits. He has shown a class protein award winner at four All American Junior Jersey Shows since 2006 and earned the Sunbow Jerseys Trophy for the high-producing cow of the show in 2006, Aspen Grove Mirage Image-ET. He won the 2009 Pot O’Gold Production Contest and the 2008 National Jersey Youth Production Contest with MVF Kulp Brazo Shannon. His milking string has produced 10 Hall of Fame records in the past six years and one member of the herd (Aspen Grove Liberty Bell) was the National Class Leader among junior two-year-olds for fat production in 2007. Ellenburg won the Dibryl Boyd Award for the highest-producing entry at the Tennessee State Junior Jersey Show in 2006, 2007 and 2010. Ellenburg has been active in the Tennessee Junior Jersey Club, serving the organization as vice president, secretary and treasurer. He received the Clyde Chappell Award from the University of Tennessee Extension Service for outstanding junior Jersey achievements in 2011 and was selected to attend the 4-H Club Congress in Nashville in 2010 and the 4-H Academic Conference in 2007. He has assisted the Morristown Hamblen Humane Society with their rabies clinics the past four years and provided project animals for fellow 4-H members the past five years. He has also been active with his church’s food pantry, collecting items for the food drive and donating fresh eggs from the farm. Ellenburg placed sixth in the 2011 National Jersey Youth Achievement Contest and attended the second Jersey Youth Academy in 2011. After he graduates with his bachelor’s degree in dairy science, Ellenburg plans to pursue a degree in veterinary medicine at Virginia Tech. He would like to join his grandfather’s mobile veterinary practice and further develop his herd of Registered Jerseys at Aspen Grove Jerseys.
See page 24 for more information on Ellenburg and the youth achievement contest. 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 Cassandra Louise Chittenden, Schodack Landing, N.Y. The daughter of Brian and Beth Chittenden is the 2011 National Jersey Youth Achievement winner. She is a junior at Cornell University majoring in animal science. Chittenden’s journey with Jerseys began in 1993 when she was a year old and received her first Jersey calf, Huestis Brook Gail, as a gift from her parents. “Gail” lived to be 14 years old and has had more impact on her present herd of 34 cows and 21 heifers than any other cow. Chittenden has sent numerous bulls from the cow family to A.I. and placed in the National Jersey Youth Production Contest four times with her descendants. “Gail” placed in the AJCA Leading Living Lifetime Chittenden Production Contest three years beginning in 2002 and ended up with 233,233 lbs. milk, 12,435 lbs. fat and 9,034 lbs. protein. Chittenden has also enjoyed showing cattle at local shows, the Eastern States Exposition and The All American Junior Jersey Show. A highlight of her career was exhibiting the winner of the Sunbow Trophy for high producing cow of The 2010 All American Junior Jersey Show, GR Dutch Hollow Gannon Glide, a great-great granddaughter of “Gail.” Chittenden grew up on Dutch Hollow Farm, which was named AJCA Master Breeder for 2012. The 2011 herd average on her 24 milking cows is 19,567 lbs. milk, 943 lbs. fat and 670 lbs. protein. The herd includes two Excellent and 24 Very Good cows and has an average appraisal of 81%. Chittenden was named first alternate in the National Jersey Queen Contest in 2011 and attended both classes of Jersey Youth Academy. She is a member of the Cornell University Dairy Science Club and a Cornell Tradition Fellow, which requires her to serve (continued to page 48)

100 hours of community service. She is also a member of Sigma Alpha, a professional sorority for women in agriculture, which she has served as treasurer and philanthropy chair. In 2010, Chittenden received scholarships from Accelerated Genetics and Farm Credit East and also earned an Opportunity Scholarship from the New York State 4-H Foundation. The following year, she received a National DHIA Scholarship. In addition to working on the home farm, Chittenden has worked at Scotch View Farm in Stamford, N.Y., and the state 4-H office and was a summer intern at D & E Jerseys in Hilmar, Calif., this past summer. Chittenden would like to explore other areas of the dairy industry and eventually manage her own herd of Registered Jerseys. See page 19 for more information on Chittenden and the youth achievement contest. V. L. Peterson Scholarship The fund commemorating “Vic” Peterson, 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 Amy

Pauline McBirney, Morgan Hill, Calif. The daughter of David and Pauline McBirney is a sophomore in the pre-veterinary program at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo majoring in dairy science. From the time she was young, McBirney McBirney knew she wanted a career that involved animals and after years of raising poultry, rabbits, miniature donkeys, horses, sheep, goats, pigs, dairy cattle and other livestock, she knew she wanted to be a veterinarian. Her involvement in 4-H and FFA confirmed her childhood goal. Though McBirney did not grow up on a farm, this didn’t stop her from becoming a top-notch showman. In fact, the lack of a dairy background may have prompted her to work harder at it than her farmraised colleagues. Over the years, she won numerous blue ribbons at the local and state level. In 2012, she earned the top prize at the Cal Poly Fitting and Showing Contest. The dairy influence may be matriarchal as her mother, who emigrated from the
island of Barbados, grew up on a dairy farm in her home country where her father managed a milking herd. The dairy was the first in the country to have a rotary milking parlor and considered to be modern and efficient for its time and location. McBirney has a reputation for working hard, earning high marks in academics and obtaining what she sets her heart on.She has spent many hours learning about the genetics end of the dairy business and hopes to gain further experience in reproductive work, including embryo transfer and A.I. Though McBirney’s current plans focus on becoming a large animal veterinarian, she is keeping her options open. The dairy industry is much broader than she first realized and she is enjoying learning about the wide array of employment opportunities available in the field of dairy science. 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. The $1,000 scholarship will be awarded to a Jersey junior from Pennsylvania, Hannah Renea Bachman of Ulysses. She is the daughter of Mark and Melanie
JERSEY JOURNAL
Backman and a junior at Pennsylvania State University, majoring in agribusiness management. Jerseys were first introduced to the herd of Holsteins owned by Bachman’s parents a dozen years ago as 4-H projects for Hannah. Today, they are a vital part of the herd that produces milk for the Bachman’s line of raw milk artisan cheese and fluid Bachman milk. The family has operated God’s Country Creamery at Wellwyn Farm since June 2008; Hannah owns the Jersey herd and lends a hand as assistant cheese maker. Bachman’s relationship with her cattle is a little different than that of most Jersey breeders her age. In 2000, when her parents sold the 80-cow dairy herd for financial reasons, Bachman and her two siblings bought a small bulk tank and agreed to milk their 4-H animals with a portable milker in order to keep them on the farm. When that load became too much, the youngsters became heifer raisers. Finally, in order to keep their own cattle on the farm and earn income from
a small herd of cows, they opted to make cheese and established the creamery. Bachman chose her major at Penn State because she feels it will help her better manage the farm and creamery. Currently the creamery uses about 40% of the milk from the herd in the production of fluid milk and cheese. Bachman’s goal is to use all the milk produced by the 20 cows by either increasing demand for current products or expanding the product line to include other dairy products like yogurt, butter and ice cream. Bachman wants to continue her occupation not only because she loves the cows, but also because she enjoys having a connection with customers and is proud of the product she makes. Her herd of Registered Jerseys includes three cows and five heifers and has a 2011 lactation average of 18,742 lbs. milk, 937 lbs. fat and 712 lbs. protein. Bachman placed eighth in the National Jersey Youth Achievement Contest in 2011 and received the William A. Russell Memorial Scholarship in 2010. She also earned a scholarship from National DHIA in 2011. Bachman is a member of the Penn State Dairy Science Club, which she serves as co-chair of the holiday cheese box sale, and has lent a hand with the Penn State
Fall Classic Dairy Sale. She was overall champion of the Penn State Dairy Expo in 2011 and named Outstanding First Year Dairy Science Club Member the same year. She has also been active in churchbased activities and currently runs a bible study from her home every week. She was involved in Bible quizzing competitions during her grade and high school years and participated in local, regional and national contests. Bachman also was a member of the varsity home school volleyball team, serving as captain for three years and a member of the all-star team twice. She also played volleyball for Northern Potter High School and earned the team’s most improved athlete award in 2009. See page 26 for more information on Bachman and the youth achievement contest. 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. The Cedarcrest Farms Scholarship of $1,500 will be presented to Robyn T. Terrel, (continued to page 51)

Honesdale, Pa. The daughter of Robert and Barbara Terrel earned a bachelor’s degree from Pennsylvania State University in 2012 and is now in her first year of veterinary medicine at the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine. Terrel is the fifth generation to breed Jersey cattle on Roundtop Farm and has been involved with the breed all her life. When she turned 21, one of her birthday gifts was a lifetime membership in the American Jersey Cattle Terrell Association. She was a member of Penn State’s dairy club and pre-vet club. She also belonged to the university’s block and bridle club and assisted with the fall calf sale and spring livestock judging contest hosted by the organization. Terrel received an undergraduate scholarship recognition award from the American Society of Animal Science three times and was inducted into the National Society of Collegiate Scholars. She received the prestigious Pennsylvania Farm Show Foundation’s Livestock Scholarship in 2011 and also earned a Student Leadership Scholarship from Pennsylvania Dairy Stakeholders. She has exhibited cattle at the local fair, district shows and the junior dairy show held at the Pennsylvania Farm Show the past seven years. Terrel was active in 4-H, serving her club as news reporter, treasurer, vice president and president, and sat on the county council. She was named outstanding intermediate member for Wayne County when she was 15 and outstanding senior member three years later. Terrel was a member of National Honors Society and an ambassador for the Ronald McDonald House in Scranton, Pa., building a dollhouse for the organization as her senior project in high school and raising additional contributions for the cause. She chose her occupation because of the limited number of veterinarians that are available to practice on large animals in her area. She plans to return to Wayne County as a large animal veterinarian upon 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 Morgan Ashley Richard, Elton, La. The daughter of Janet Richard is a freshman at Louisiana State University majoring in animal science with an emphasis on dairy production. Richard’s involvement with Jerseys came through her aunt, who gave her a pair of Jersey calves in return for work on her farm. The gift was impetus to learn more about dairying and a spark for her career choice today. Today Richard’s herd includes
four Jersey cows, two Jersey heifers and three crossbred calves. She has served as president, vice president, secretary and treasurer of her local 4-H club and currently sits Richard on the state 4-H citizenship board. She has organized and taught dairy and leadership workshops at the local and parish level and mentored (continued to page 52)

many younger 4-H members. Richard placed first in the state 4-H dairy records contest and was a member of the dairy judging team that won the state competition and placed third nationally. In 2011, she was honored as the state 4-H dairy premier exhibitor, a competition that includes skill-a-thon, examination, showmanship and public speaking. In both 2010 and 2011, she represented her state at the National Dairy Conference held with World Dairy Expo. During her one-year tenure as president of her local FFA chapter, the chapter conducted six new community service projects and increased total community service hours by 400%. Richard earned the State Star Farmer from FFA in 2011. She was a member of the parliamentary procedures team that topped state competition and placed third nationally and also a part of the dairy judging and livestock judging teams that earned top prizes at the state level. Richard also was co-captain of the varsity basketball team and ran track. She was involved with the school’s library club, student council, link crew club, the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization and Future Business Leaders of America. She plans to pursue graduate school after earning her bachelor’s degree. Awards for 2012-2013 Applications for 2012-2013 Jersey Youth Scholarships will be accepted from April 1 through July 1, 2013, and forms are available at www.USJersey.com/ YouthProgram/scholarshipinfo.html.

WORLD DAIRY EXPO
J
Huffard Honored by National Dairy Shrine
ames S. Huffard III, Crockett, Va., will be honored as the 40th recipient of the Distinguished Cattle Breeder award by National Dairy Shrine. This is the dairy industry’s highest honor bestowed to a dairy cattle breeder and will be presented Thursday, October 4, 2012, during World Dairy Expo in Madison, Wis. “Jim’s keen interest is the breeding of productive and functional Jersey cattle so they live longer, are more economical and are properly fed to express their genetic potential,” stated Dr. John C. Wilk, Emeritus Professor of Animal Science at North Carolina State University. The guiding philosophy of productionpure genetics with sound functional type was the legacy of Jim’s grandfather, James Schultz Huffard, Sr., who acquired Registered Jerseys™ in 1929. Since Jim assumed management of Huffard Dairy Farms in 1975 after graduating from Virginia Tech, he has placed more than 60 bulls into A.I. Huffard was just 25 when he made the mating that resulted in Schultz Performing Legend, who went on to sire 11,345 daughters and 535 sons recorded in the AJCA Herd Register. “Legend” daughters were not just top producers; they had another characteristic which was important to Huffard—longevity. In the U.S., Windy Acres Legend Carla, Excellent-92%, topped a milk, fat or protein division of AJCA Leading Living Lifetime Production Contest from 2001 to 2004 and Cherish Legend Rose, Excellent-92%, ranked first in the milk and protein contests in 2002. In Canada, Rexlea Performing Hostess-ET, SUP-EX 92-7E, earned the President’s Cup for Lifetime Production from 2003 to 2006. Schultz Brook Hallmark entered Active A.I. service in May of 1999. To date, he has 10,302 tested daughters in 1,753 herds in his April 2012 genetic evaluation. He was one of the most heavily used bulls in the breed and his popularity both domestically and internationally garnered him ABS Diamond Sire status in 2003. “Hallmark” was the top sire of sons in the U.S., in 2002 with 219 sons recorded by the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA). The influence of “Hallmark” was felt through his A.I. sons, including three Page 54
Huffard-bred maternal brothers, “Rescue,” “Redwood,” and “Restore.” In 2010, a son of “Rescue,” Schultz Rescue Headline, was the number one sire of sons in the U.S. with 146 sons recorded that year by the AJCA. “More than 30 years after the birth of “Legend,” Jim Huffard continues to provide the breed an ongoing stream of genetics that contribute to profitable
James S. Huffard III
production and longevity,” said Richard G. Smith, Jersey Sire Analyst for ABS Global. Today, Schultz Legal Critic-P ranks 10th on the genomically proven bull list for Jersey Performance Index™. Born in 2010, he is already being used as an A.I. mating sire with 39 registered sons to date. “Critic-P” carries the polled gene and has a cheese merit index of $700. Huffard Dairy is operated in partnership by Jim, his brother John and their mother, June. The land has been in the family for more than 200 years. Schultz Jerseys is an all-registered 400-cow herd with a 2011 m.e. lactation average of 19,522-888679. For 19 of the past 25 years, the herd has ranked nationally for production. On its most recent type appraisal, 384 head averaged Very Good-83%. At the end of 2011, there were 34 Excellent cows in the
herd. “Cattle descending from the cows and bulls bred by Jim Huffard show up for work,” said Richard Smith. “They are honest and can be depended on for years to come. They are practical, profitable and do not expect any extra attention.” The Huffard model of production-pure genetics is exhibited in three predominant cow families. The dam of “Hallmark,” – Schultz Sooner Harmony, Excellent-90% and over 22,000 lbs. milk; the dam of “Rescue,” – Schultz Hallmark Renae, Excellent-90% and more than 18,000 lbs. milk; and the next two generations backing “Critic-P,” – Schultz Mygent Chilli-P, Excellent-90% and her dam Schultz Hallmark Chill, Excellent-94%, with six lactations averaging over 22,000 lbs. milk. “Jim Huffard’s contributions to the dairy industry are by no means limited to the genetic attributes of the cattle he has bred,” said Smith. “He has served the dairy industry in Virginia in various capacities and most recently through dairy processing, distribution and the marketing of dairy products.” In 2010, Jim and a fellow Jersey breeder, Joey Blankenship, began a partnership in Duchess Dairy, to improve the equity of their milk. The duo bottles the milk from the Huffard herd and Duchess Dairy products are distributed throughout southwest Virginia. Jim was honored in 2008 by the AJCA as a Master Breeder. He has served the association as president and director, in addition to serving on the board of National All-Jersey Inc.(NAJ). He is currently vice president of NAJ. Many previous Jersey breeders have been honored with this presitgious award. They include: Colonel and Mrs. H. George Wilde (1978); Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Rankin and Sons (1981); C. Scott Mayf ield (1984); John Bishop VI (1987); John and Allaire Palmer and Robert and Laura Pike (1995); Robert Stiles and Family (1999); Walter and Sally Goodrich (2002); Bill, Barbara and David Mason (2003); and Dr. J. J. Malnati (2005). The annual National Dairy Shrine awards banquet will be held on October 4 during World Dairy Expo in Madison, (continued to page 58)

WORLD DAIRY EXPO
Eustis Honored as a Pioneer of the Industry
T
he power of art to reach and inspire people is also the enduring dairy industry legacy of Francis Eustis of Cincinnati, Ohio. Raised on one of the elite Jersey dairies of the 1920s and ‘30s, Breezy Hill Farm, Eustis developed an artist’s eye for animals of all kinds at an early age. His great talent took him to study sculpture at the renowned Yale University of Fine Arts, where he worked under one of the foremost animal sculptors of that era, Louis Paul Jonas of Hudson, N.Y. His Jersey Beginnings In 1924, his mother, Mrs. George Eustis, established the Breezy Hill herd with cows for family milk. In 1928, the herd was expanded with the importation of one Jersey bull and 18 daughters from the Island. From this herd came Blondes Sleeping Beauty Imp. Wonderful Snowdrop and Wonderful Advancer, the first Senior Superior sire of the Jersey breed. After college he started his own herd and then later returned to the family farm and honed his appreciation and understanding of cattle and other animals. He was an active and successful breeder of Jersey cows, Belgian and Arabian horses and Hampshire hogs. But it wasn’t until after the family farm was sold in 1961 that his second and perhaps more celebrated career as an artist began.
The Eustis Cows In addition to numerous one-man shows, commissions, and awards for sculptures ranging from African wildlife to farm animals, Eustis had a unique knack and passion for dairy cattle. His specialty was the incredibly detailed and astoundingly realistic 1/10th scale, resin-cast, hand-painted and numbered Ideal Dairy Cow models that he was commissioned to do by the Brown Swiss, Holstein, Jersey and Guernsey breed organizations. They are among the most sought-after dairy collectibles today and have come to be known simply as “Eustis Cows.” The Eustis Jersey models produced in 1983, have been excellent vehicles for fund raising efforts on behalf of the AJCC Research Foundation. At the september 2012
2005 National Heifer Sale—an alldonation benefit for the Foundation— the “Cavanaugh Cow” #29 of 200 was auctioned for $16,000 while busts of a Jersey bull and cow donated by the late Jane F. Chittenden sold for $5,500. This past June, the #7 of 200 Eustis cow sold in the AJCC Research Auction for $5,500. It was donated by Frances S. McGinnis,
Francis Eustis
Kinards, S.C., in memory of her husband, past AJCC President and Distinguished Service Award recipient W. Charles McGinnis. Seth Johnson, Executive SecretaryTreasurer of the American Guernsey Association echos the importance of the models to fund-raising for the Guernsey breed. “There is palpable excitement when a Eustis cow is included in a youth auction,” said Johnson. “The Eustis Guernsey Cow models have become true collector’s pieces.” His Collections Eustis’ work is represented in many notable private collections throughout the United States and abroad. The largest collection of his work is housed at the Kentucky Horse Parks International Museum of the Horse in Lexington, Ky. In
addition other exhibits and collections can be found at the H.R.H. Queen of England, Windsor Castle; Anheuser-Busch, St. Louis, Mo.; Mrs. J. Austin DuPont, Wilmington, Del.; Royal Veterinary College, London, England; Clydesdale Association of American and many other galleries and museums around the country. In his studio brochure, The Miniature Models of Domestic Animals, his work is described as “A real love of the subject matter coupled with a lifelong assocation with animals, both as a practical farmer and livestock breeder, was a factor in his becoming an accredited livestock judge. Intense observation, research and analytical studies of anatomy, form and movement based on sound technique are underlying elements in the success of his work.” In 1975, the Draft Horse Journal talked of him in their editorial. “When you see his work, it all makes a great deal of sense, for his years as a farmer, breeder, and showman...along with his talent and training in art, have combined to produce one of America’s foremost animal sculptors, Francis Eustis.” Eustis, in addition of his association with the Jersey breed, was secretary and treasurer of the Ohio Belgian Breeders Assocation, secretary of the Ohio Arabian Association and served on the advisory board of the Ohio State Fair Horse Show. He was president of the Ohio Jersey Breeders Association and a lifetime member of the American Jersey Cattle Association. “Francis Eustis made an enduring mark on the dairy industry by giving us a realistic representation of the ideal cow of several breeds,” said Johnson. “No collection of breed memorabilia is truly complete without one.” Eustis passed away in 1997 and his wife, Viola, 10 years later. They are survived by their daughter, Martha, who lives in Cincinnati. Eustis will be honored at the annual National Dairy Shrine awards banquet on October 4 during World Dairy Expo in Madison, Wis.

JERSEY JOURNAL
Choice Tops Cow Power Sale at $8,100 It was with mixed emotions that Kip Keller and Robin Denniston-Keller made the decision last summer to host a production sale at Den-Kel Jerseys in Byron, N.Y. Parting with some of their surplus animals was difficult, but necessary to make room for the rest of the herd. The couple consigned animals that would make quality foundation animals for other Jersey breeders without depleting the cow family at Den-Kel Jerseys. Sale Analysis

The Cow Power Sale came about in grand style on June 23, 2012, when 71 lots of production-bred Registered Jerseys—many carrying A.I. contracts—sold for an average of $2,277.46 and a gross of $161,700. The sale also featured 16 lots from guest consignors. It was wellattended by Jersey breeders from across the country as it kicked off the Annual Meetings of the American Jersey Cattle Association and National All-Jersey Inc. in New Hampshire the following week. Among the highlights was Robin’s poststroke attendance at the sale as she visited friends and colleagues and even placed several bids on her own. A choice that carries the highly-sought homozygous polled gene brought the high price—$8,100. A prominent Holstein breeder from the Buckeye State, Matthew Steiner, Rittman, outlasted Michigander Craig Zeinstra of Shelbyville to bring home a first choice female out of the “Violet” cow family. Steiner purchased the right to choose first from a female sired by either Schultz Legal Critic-P, GJPI +243, or a mutually-agreeable sire and out of All Lynns Eclipes Vitality-P-ET. “Vitality” is sired by Maack Dairy Eclipes-P-ET, GJPI +86, and ranks on the list of the Top 500 Females for GJPI with an index of +220. The summer yearling has GPTAs of +1,858M, +68F, +57P and was flushed to “Critic-P” as a heifer. “Vitality” has numerous maternal brothers in A.I., including the breed’s top Gcode bull, All-Lynns Legal Visionary-ET, GJPI +286, and the former top-ranking Gseptember 2012

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

JERSEY JOURNAL
Active A.I. Bulls Ranked By GJPI, August 2012 The 113 Jersey bulls listed are coded as Active A.I. for the August 2012 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 17 bulls that are not genomically tested, are listed with their traditionally calculated evaluation. These 100 genotyped bulls average +603M, +36F, +24P; for Lifetime Net Merit, Cheese Merit +$327; Net Merit +$300, and Fluid Merit +$280. Other group averages are Somatic Cell Score, 2.99; Productive NAME OF BULL
REG NUMBER G JHI
Life, +2.5; JUI, +2.56; DPR, -0.02; and Final Score, +1.1. Appraisal Trait Rankings Predicted Transmitting Abilities (PTA) for each of the 15 breakdown traits, final score, and Jersey Udder Index (JUI) are provided on the opposite page. There are six two-way traits among the 15 listed: Foot Angle (low or steep); Rear Legs (posty to sickle); Rump Angle (high to low); Teat Placement (wide to close); Udder Depth (deep to shallow); and Teat Length (long to short). The PTAs for linear traits (with the exception of body depth) are used in the JPI calculation and are weighted by their relative economic value in increasing net income.

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

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 2012 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, 2012, 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.

JERSEY JOURNAL
Top 200 Cows for Jersey Performance Index (Traditional), August 2012 The top 200 cows ranked by traditionally calculated Jersey Premformance IndexTM (JPI) from the April 2012 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, 2012.

JERSEY JOURNAL
Youth Achievement Contest
Expo’s 2012 Virtual Farm Tours To Feature Martin Dairy Martin Dairy LLC, a Registered Jersey™ dairy farm located in Tillamook, Ore., will be one of eight U.S. operations featured as a Virtual Farm Tour at the 2012 World Dairy Expo. The program, which will be presented by Norman H. Martin, will start at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, October 3 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 storyline of Martin Dairy LLC winds its way from the Azores and Brazil to the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, the date when Norm Martin’s grandfather arrived with his new wife on their way to the Holstein dairy he had already established near Oakland. Within two decades, the herd was moved south and increased to 300 cows, requiring 10 milkers. Norm grew up on the dairy as it modernized and continued to grow, into a management role in 1971, then complete ownership in 1975. In 1995, Norm, his wife Gwen and their family moved to Tillamook to become producers for Tillamook County Creamery Association. In the beginning, the herd was set up to be 50% Holstein cows and 50% Jerseys. For almost four years, the herd was evenly split: “two separate pens of Jerseys, two pens of Holsteins, same milkers, same feed rations, everything exactly the same.” Norm determined that while gross sales were higher for the Holsteins, the net returns from the Jerseys were greater. In early 1998, the decision was made to convert the herd to all-Jersey and it has increased to over 1,100 cows in milk. The 2011 lactation average was 18,331 pounds milk, averaging 5.0% fat and 3.7% protein, with 13 cows scored Excellent, 509 Very Good and 386 Desirable. Genetic improvement is Norm’s lifelong passion, as demonstrated by the fact that he served 30 years on the All-West/ Select Sires Board. For him, the conversion to Jerseys after 30 years of breeding Holsteins presented a steep learning curve, but using the services available from the American Jersey Cattle Association made it much easier to achieve his breeding goals. “We register everything. We score every cow. Inbreeding is a real concern. I use the JerseyMate™ mating service and select for cheese yield. The program figures out what bulls we are going to use so that I don’t have to worry about it. The neat thing about JerseyMate™ is that you get three choices, and I still get to make

my own decisions.” With the introduction of cost-effective genotyping services, Norm quickly put this tool to work in his breeding program. As of August 2012, 614 females have been genotyped at Martin Dairy and have an average Cheese Merit of $440. Today Martin Dairy ranks sixth for herd average based on Jersey Performance Index. Martin Dairy LLC is run with clockwork precision, uncompromising attention to detail, and total dedication to cow care and comfort. Any day of the week, any hour of the day—the Martin Dairy is visitor-ready. Because of that, the Martin family hosts dozens of tours each year, by people from across the world who have come to Tillamook to see the Tillamook County Creamery Association operation. What they see is a great herd of highly productive, profitable Jersey cows that is increasingly becoming a source of superior genetics for A.I. Other Virtual Farm Tours feature dairy businesses located in Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Arizona, Minnesota, Kansas, and Michigan. All presentations will be recorded and available for viewing on World Dairy Expo’s website after the show. World Dairy Expo opens Tuesday, October 2 with the International Jersey Show starting at a new time of 2:00 p.m. in the Coliseum. The cow show continues on Wednesday morning and concludes with selection of the Grand Champion by judge Mark Reuth, Oxford, Wis. 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.

Valery credits much of his success in life to his involvement with his Jersey cows, adding that his extra-curricular achievements go hand-in-hand with his dairy achievements, and without one, the other would not exist. As he continues to build his herd and carve out his path within the agricultural and dairy industry, this Jersey youth has many different avenues of interest to pursue.

Herds Ranked By JPI Average The top 25% of U.S. Jersey herds ranked by average Jersey Performance IndexTM are listed below. This list includes qualifying herds with an average GJPI of +46 or greater. Herds must be enrolled in the AJCA REAP program to be included in the ranking and have at least 10 Registered Jerseys with JPIs. Cows with genomic evaluations are included in the average. All cows must have registry status of HR (no prefix), GR or PR, and must have calved within the past 15 months with no termination code associated with the current lactation. In the case of ties, the herd ranked higher for Predicted Transmitting Ability Protein (PTAP) is listed first. Any herds that remain tied are then listed in order of herd average for PTA Milk (PTAM). There are 203 herds listed with an average JPI of +60. Ranking first and second for the second consecutive genetic summaries are Gerald
Laufenberg, Mount Horeb, Wis., and David Allen, Reedsburg, Wis. Laufenberg’s 28-cow herd averages +117 JPI, while fellow Wisconsin Jersey breeder, David Allen has 44 cows averaging +106 for JPI. Coming in third is a newcomer to the list. Tony Meier, Palmer, Kan., with an average JPI of +99 on his 11 Registered Jerseys. The Ooms family of Oomsdale Farm, Valatie, N.Y., follows in fourth with a JPI of +94 on 35 cows. Rounding out the top five is another newcomer Randall Munger and Carol Krawczyk-Munger, Bridport, Vt. The 18 cows in the herd average +91 for JPI. There were 109,682 cows in 823 REAP herds summarized in the August 2012 genetic evaluations with an average JPI of +42.

Ohio Jersey Breeders Gather Despite Storm Effects
Ohio Jersey Breeders braved the aftermath of the June 29 windstorm that ravaged the state to turn out for the Ohio Jersey Breeders Picnic on June 30, 2012. Those with and without electricity made the trip to scenic Rawn Jersey Farm in Lancaster, Ohio, to crown a new Jersey queen and recognize outstanding production. While members gathered on the hilltop overlooking the city of Lancaster, four junior members fielded questions from judges and delivered speeches to the crowd. Megan Cornish, North Fairfield, was crowned as the 2012 Ohio Jersey Queen. The daughter of Dave and Daphne Cornish is a senior at South Central High School. She is currently a member of the Ohio Junior Jersey Breeders Association, which she serves as treasurer, and was the 2011 Ohio Jersey Princess. Megan serves her school FFA chapter as secretary, in addition to her roles with student council, yearbook staff and Students Against Destructive Decisions. In addition to her FFA officer role, Megan has worked on projects that include dairy cows and heifers. She received the Star Chapter Farmer degree, Star Junior Agricultural Education award, the Dairy Entrepreneurial Proficiency award and her State FFA degree. She is also active in
4-H where she has exhibited dairy feeders, dairy steers, dairy cows, dairy heifers and market hogs. Before being awarded the crown, Megan delivered a short speech about the lessons she has learned through her life with Jerseys and her experience on the tanbark in her dairy whites. Molly Michael, Baltimore, was named the 2012 Ohio Jersey Princess. Molly is the daughter of Michael and Melissa Michael and is a student at Liberty Union. In addition to the various Jersey projects Molly has completed through 4-H and FFA, she is a member of the Ohio Junior Jersey Breeders Association. At school, Molly is on the honor roll, a member of the Spanish Club, Key Club, the tennis team and serves as treasurer of her chapter FFA. She has been recognized as an Outstanding FFA Leader, holds both her Greenhand and Chapter degrees and was a member of the Liberty Union FFA dairy judging team. She will be representing the state of Ohio this November at NAILE with the state dairy judging team. For the speech portion of the royalty contest, Molly spoke to the crowd about her “business partner” the Jersey cow, and the impact this brown cow has had on her life and the potential impact that can be made throughout the dairy industry.

Iowa Jersey Breeders Meet (continued from page 105)
Though she is not from a dairy farm, Ashley developed a love of the Jersey cow while participating in FFA and working at Hei-Bri Jerseys in Hawkeye. She has been a member of the chapter FFA dairy judging team that competed at the Tri State Dairy Expo at Northeast Iowa Community College and earned a gold award in dairy showmanship at the state level. At the FFA public speaking contest last year, she gave a speech entitled “Why Jerseys” to convince dairy producers to switch to Jerseys. After lunch, members toured Kunde Jersey Farm, which is operated by Donna and David Kunde and their grown
children, Jennifer Zumbach and Daniel and Michael Kunde. The Jersey herd of 200 milking cows is enrolled on REAP, a charter member of Project Equity and a contract advertiser in the Jersey Journal. The AJCA lactation average for 2011 is 16,598 lbs. milk, 798 lbs. fat and 568 lbs. protein on 144 cows. The herd includes 22 Excellent and 149 Very Good cows and has an average appraisal of 84.2%. Facilities have been extensively renovated in the past two years to accommodate internal growth of the herd. In 2009, a double-12 parallel parlor was installed, a loafing shed and commodity shed constructed and freestalls added to an existing shed. Last summer, the tie stall barn was converted to freestalls; last

winter, a heifer shed was built on Michael’s place a mile from the home farm. The family farms about 700 acres, raising feed for the herd and selling the balance. About 450 acres are set aside for corn, 60 acres are alfalfa, 60 acres are rye and wheat and 140 acres are beans. Cows are pastured during the summer and fed a total mixed ration. The dairy purchases most of its hay and a protein mix. Jennifer is the secretary of the Iowa Jersey Cattle Club and editor of the Iowa Jersey Today.
File Your Professional Cow Photos with Jersey Journal
What do pictures of your Jerseys say about your herd? Nothing if the Jersey Journal doesn’t have a copy of the picture on file. Now that show season is in full swing, the Jersey Journal reminds breeders that pictures of any class winners, as well as second place if that animal went on to place as a champion, will be published with respective show reports, provided that a photographic print is sent to the office. Photographers do not automatically send your pictures to the Jersey Journal office. When picturing your animals, please request that a 5” x 7” color copy be sent to the Jersey Journal office. While you will incur the cost of this picture, the benefits will outweigh the cost in the long run. For example, if you decide to advertise that animal and the photograph is not on file, we will have to order it from the photographer. This is more expensive than ordering a print for the Journal files at the time the pictures are first made. Please note, in following copyright laws, the Jersey Journal must have a photographic print from the photographer in the office to use it for publication. A scanned reprint from a third party will not be accepted. Make the most of your investment in herd promotion by getting your animals professionally pictured. Ask your photographer to send an additional copy to the Jersey Journal.

niors can enter the competition and how prizes are awarded.
The National Jersey Youth Production Contest is one of two competitions sponsored by the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) to recognize production achievements of junior Jersey breeders. The other competition is the Pot O’Gold Production Contest. The National Jersey Youth Production Contest has been annually held since 1957 and has honored 56 juniors from 25 states across the country, including this year’s winner, Kara Maxwell, Donahue, Iowa. Previous winners include the former world milk champion, Mainstream Berretta Joy, who topped the contest in 2000 for her owner Melissa R. Kortus, Lynden, Wash., and the former world fat champion, Golden MBSB of Twin-Haven-ET, who won the contest in 1997 for owner Travis Ferreira, Lemoore, Calif. Ten times a cow has simultaneously topped the National Youth Production Contest and the Pot O’Gold Production Contest. In this month’s Jersey Jargon we’ll take a closer look at the National Jersey Youth Production Contest and explain how ju-
Prizes Juniors are honored for achievements in the National Jersey Youth Production Contest at the Junior Banquet held during All American festivities in Louisville, Ky., each November. Awards are given to the top 10 juniors in two divisions based on the age of their cow at calving. An overall winner is also recognized. Cash prizes are awarded to the top four placings in each division: $100 for first; $75 for second; $50 for third; and $25 for fourth. The overall winner receives an additional $100. Recognition certificates are sent to every participant. Division I of the National Jersey Youth Production Contest is designated for firstlactation cows calving before they reach 30 months. Division II is for all other cows. Juniors can place in the top 10 of the contest multiple times, but can win the overall competition just once. Eligibility Juniors are eligible to compete in the contest if they are between the ages of nine and 20 of the calendar year of the contest. They must also be junior members or lifetime members of the AJCA. Rankings are based on multiple com-
ponent pricing (MCP) dollar value of the record. Dollar value is determined by calculating the 305-day mature equivalent, then applying Net Merit Dollars component values that are used for genetic evaluations from the USDA Animal Improvement Programs Laboratory. Records from Registered Jerseys must be no longer than 305 days and have a Data Collection Rating (DCR) of at least 90. Juniors may submit records for up to three cows; the cow with the best record will be entered in the contest. If a cow is owned in partnership with another junior member who is eligible to compete in the contest, the entry will be made in both juniors’ names. Submitting Entries Records completed by cows enrolled on AJCA performance programs, including REAP and TPE, are available on the AJCA database. The check the 305-day record, log on to infoJersey.com and request a performance progeny report for the cow. This is available free-of-charge. Records from DHIA can also be submitted. Send the individual cow page listing the 305-day production. Make sure you send the cow page showing production for 305 days or less as the AJCA cannot calculate extended records back to 305 days.

Lutz Family Hosts North Carolina Field Day The North Carolina Jersey Cattle Association Field Day was hosted by Corey and Bridgette Lutz and their family at Piedmont Jerseys, Lincolnton, on July 21, 2012. Jersey breeders enjoyed a pot luck picnic and barbeque, participated in a judging contest, crowned a new North Carolina Jersey queen and learned the importance of nutrition for rumen development in calves. As well, juniors were given opportunity to buy Registered Jerseys in the North Carolina Pot of Gold Sale. Avery Lutz, Mocksville, was crowned as the 2012 North Carolina Jersey Queen. The daughter of Wayne and Karen Lutz, Deerview Farm, graduated from New River Community College in 2011 and now works for Blackhallow Dairy, Dublin, Va. Avery attended the inaugural Jersey Youth Academy in 2009 and placed ninth in the 2010 National Jersey Youth Achievement Contest. She placed in the National Jersey Youth Production Contest in 2008 and 2011 and won senior showmanship at The All American Junior Jersey Show in 2009. She has earned many laurels in the show ring with her cattle, including Overall Premier Performance Cow of The 2004 All American Junior Jersey Show, Ladyholm N Symphony. Avery won the state 4-H dairy judging contest and was a member of the team that competed at World Dairy Expo in 2007. She helped reinvigorate her high school FFA chapter with fellow Jersey junior Shelby Karriker and also served the organization as vice president. She earned a gold award in dairy handling at the national FFA convention and received her chapter’s Star Farmer Award in 2008. She has served on the planning committees for The All American Junior Jersey Show and the AJCA-NAJ Annual Meetings, which were hosted by her home state in 2008. In the dairy judging contest, Avery Lutz topped the senior division. Bryant Chapman, Taylorsville, and Luke Holland, Olin, tied for first place in the junior division. Dr. John Wilk, Raleigh, served as the official for the contest, which included two groups of milking cows. Corey and Bridgette Lutz reported on their trip to the AJCA-NAJ Annual Meetings in North Conway, N.H., where Corey was elected AJCA Director for the Sixth District. Galen Grant, with Land O’Lakes and Purina Feeds, spoke about calf nutrition and the importance of early rumen development. Proper nutrition of calves in early Page 108
stages of life contributes to better growth and gives producers opportunity to breed heifers at an earlier age and earn profits from lactation sooner. The day’s events also included numerous door prizes and a tour of Piedmont Jerseys. Corey and Bridgette get help operating the dairy from their children, James, Mandy and Olivia. Piedmont Jerseys practices managed, intensive, rotational grazing with 220 cows. The herd is enrolled on REAP and has a 2011 AJCA lactation average of 18,903 lbs. milk, 896 lbs. fat and 675 lbs. protein on 223 lactations. The herd includes 45 Excellent and 184 Very Good cows and has an average appraisal of 85.1%. Corey grew up on Piedmont Jersey farm in Catawba County and moved the dairy to its present location in 1997 after purchasing the herd from his father, the late Charles Lutz. The farm consists of 240 acres of owned land and another 200 acres of rented land. Cows graze on alfalfa, ryegrass, orchard grass and sudex grass. Corn and small grains are raised for silage. Piedmont Jerseys was a tour stop for the AJCA-NAJ Annual Meetings in 2008 and hosted the Intercollegiate Dairy Challenge in 2010. 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 $1,500 and a gross of $6,000. 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. Number

In Memoriam Linda Johnson LeFever Linda Johnson LaFever, Sparta, 50, passed away July 31, 2012, at her residence after a long battle with cancer. She was born in Sparta on September 20, 1961, to the late R. C. “Squirrel” Johnson and Charlene Swafford Johnson. She operated Lalu Farms in Sparta with her husband, David, and their children, Sara (Rorey) LaFever Halliburton and Luke LaFever, and was an integral part of the management of the herd. The 87cow Registered Jersey herd is enrolled on REAP. Sara was crowned National Jersey Queen in 2005 and was featured on the cover of the Jersey Journal in June 2006. Memorial donations may be made to The Hope Lodge, 2008 Charlotte Avenue, Nashville, TN 37203.
Edgar William Frerichs Edgar William Frerichs, LaGrange, Texas, 92, passed away August 13, 2012, at his home. He was born in LaGrange on June 29, 1920, son of the late Henry Gerhard and Anna Helena (Janssen) Frerichs. He graduated from La Grange High School in 1938. Frerichs was an active 4-H member and earned the organization’s Gold Star Award. He married Marian Mueller in 1949. The couple operated Frerichs Dairy Inc. with their sons, Robert (Vonice) and Ralph (Faith), and their families. Frerichs established the dairy with just a handful of Jersey cows. The herd was enrolled in the Genetic Recovery program in the 1970s and today is a fully-registered herd of 190 milking cows. Frerichs Dairy is a charter member of REAP and has contributed to the AJCC Research Foundation. Ralph is serving his second term at AJCA Director from the Eighth District. Farm life provided many opportunities for interesting animal behavior and Edgar often shared stories with family and friends. He passed his passion and love of farming to his children and, after four generations, you can still see love and dedication to their family farm. Frerichs was a member of the Fayette County Farm Bureau and Dairy Farmers of America. He was a lifelong member of St. John Lutheran Church in Rutersville and danced with the Swiss Alp Dance Club. He also enjoyed playing dominoes. In addition to his wife of 62 years and sons, Robert and Ralph, and their wives,
Frerichs is survived by a daughter Helen (Phil) Oestreich of La Grange; a brother, Alfred (Ore Nell) Frerichs of Homan, Texas; six grandchildren; seven greatgrandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by a sister, Edna Citzler, a grandson, Bradley Charles Frerichs, and a granddaughter, Heidi Oestreich Moore.
John Joseph Albright Sr. John Joseph Albright Sr., Nolensville, Tenn., 78, passed away August 15, 2012. He was born to George Earl and Susanna Albright. He graduated from Franklin High School in 1952 and served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. He retired from AT&T after 40 years of service in 1995. Albright purchased his first Jersey heifer in 1946 for $65 and earned a blue ribbon at the Tennessee State Fair with her a year later. While he and his wife, Ann, were raising their four children, family vacations were scheduled around fairs and shows. They traveled to Memphis for the Mid-South Fair and to Columbus, Ohio, and Louisville, Ky., for The All American Jersey Show. They also attended many AJCA-NAJ Annual Meetings over the years. John and Ann continued to be involved with daily cow care by raising heifers on the farm for their daughter and son-in-law, Jo Ann and Jim Ozburn, Nolensville. Albright was known for his extensive work with youth. He was a volunteer leader of junior and youth activities in the Williamson County 4-H Club, the Tennessee Junior Jersey Cattle Club, the Tennessee Junior Dairy Show and the Tennessee State Fair.
