GENOTYPING ROUNDTABLE
Genotyping Journey Begins with Small Steps
T
he genotyping era is now into its second year and Jersey breeders are beginning to see how the technology is impacting their industry and learning how genomic information can help them better manage and market their herds. On the sire side, genomic evaluations from 3,025 Jersey bulls were included in the most recent genetic summaries released by USDA’s Animal Improvement Programs Laboratory and three out of every four bulls on the list of Active and Foreign Bulls Marketed in the U.S. have been genotyped. On the cow side, genotypes from 605 Jersey females are now in the database of the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA). While the cost of genotyping is relatively expensive, some of the industry’s pioneers have found a place for the technology and a means of recouping their investment. On the horizon are lessexpensive, low-density DNA chips that may transform genotyping into a cost-effective tool for managing females on a wide-spread basis down the road. The Jersey Journal asked six of the Jersey breed’s early adopters about their experiences with genotyping. They are from diverse operations across the county. Half of them got their feet wet with genotyping when their consignment to the 2008 National Heifer Sale was genotyped free-of-charge by the AJCC Research Foundation to heighten awareness of the new technology. While reading their responses, keep in mind that Jersey producers have the option to genotype females, but obtaining genomic predictions on males currently is limited to regular members of the National Association of Animal Breeders (NAAB) through an exclusive agreement between NAAB and USDA’s Agricultural Research Service. Featured Herds David Allen, All-Lynn Jerseys, Reedsburg, Wis. All-Lynn Jerseys is operated by Allen and his family in central Wisconsin. The 90-cow herd has a 2009 AJCA lactation average of 22,052 lbs. milk, 1,031 lbs. fat and 798 lbs. protein and is ranked third in
the nation for JPI with an average JPI of +84 (January 2010). The Allens have been as especially zealous for genotyping as cattle buyers, but have also genotyped two heifers themselves. They purchased Gabys Dale Avalon-ET from The All American Jersey Sale and Jars of Clay Iatola 1671 2751 from the Pot O’Gold Sale in November because of their high genomic evaluations and then brought Boyd-Lee Matinee Habanero-ET to the farm after she ranked #8 on the list of the Top 200 JPI Cows with a GJPI of +261. Allen has signed several contracts with A.I. organizations as well that involve genotyped sons out of another key farm purchase, D&E Paramount Violet. Sons All Lynns Louie Valentino-ET and All Lynns Restore Vibrant-ET currently rank first and second on the list of Genomically Tested Bulls Marketed in the U.S. (NAAB “G” Code Bulls) with respective GJPIs of +265 and +256. Henry Gaby, Gaby Jersey Farm, Greeneville, Tenn. Gaby Jersey Farm is owned by Henry and his father, John, and uncle, Warren. The 170-cow herd has a 2009 AJCA lactation average of 22,450 lbs. milk, 1,069 lbs. fat and 773 lbs. protein. Gaby Jersey Farm is ranked #14 in the nation for JPI with an average JPI of +68. The farm has genotyped four females—a cow and three full sibling heifers in advance of The All American Jersey Sale. The highest GJPI heifer of the group (Gabys Dale Avalon-ET) was consigned to the sale and purchased by David Allen. All three rank on the list of the Top 500 Heifers Ranked by PA JPI. Gwen Pearl, Pearlmont Farm, Barnet, Vt. Gwen and her husband, William, own and operate Pearlmont Farm, a herd of 66 Registered Jersey cows, in northeastern Vermont. The herd has a 2009 AJCA lactation average of 16,124 lbs. milk, 757 lbs. fat and 569 lbs. protein and a JPI average of +51. The couple became interested in genotyping when a cow they consigned to The 2008 All American Jersey Sale (Pearlmont Impuls Daffy) was genotyped by her new owners (Bruce Roos, Kara Hale and Sunset Canyon Jerseys of Cloverdale, Ore.) and her genetic evaluations surpassed her traditional evaluations. The farm has since genotyped seven of
Genotyping is an integral part of the marketing plan for females sold and purchased by David Allen and his grandson, Tommy. All-Lynn Jerseys bought several high-indexing females because of their genomic evaluations, including Boyd-Lee Matinee Habanero-ET, now ranked #8 among cows for JPI with a GJPI of +261, and a heifer from both The All American Jersey Sale and the Pot O’Gold Sale this past November.

Genotyping has opened doors of opportunity for William and Gwen Pearl (far right). Their consignment to The 2008 All American Jersey Sale, Pearlmont Impuls Daffy, was genotyped by purchasers, Bruce Roos, Kara Hale (center) and Eric Silva (third left), and now ranks 36th for JPI with a GJPI of +224. The Pearls wrote numerous bull contracts on her ET daughters still at the farm and sold several others privately in the months that followed “Daffy’s” genotyping.
Donnie Sherman (right) and his son-in-law, Richard Avila, jumped at the chance to incorporate genotyping in their cattle breeding program at D & E Jerseys in California and Avi-Lanche Jerseys in Texas. To date, the family has genotyped 22 Registered Jersey females. Sherman also has experience with the technology as chairman of the sire selection committee at Jerseyland Sires/Alta Genetics and notes that genotyping is now used almost exclusively to write bull contracts.
her virgin heifers. One of them, Pearlmont Restore Dahlia-ET, is currently the nation’s high-ranking heifer for JPI with a GJPI of +250 and now owned by Eric Silva of Sunset Canyon Jerseys. Donald Sherman, D & E Jerseys, Hilmar, Calif. Sherman and his family own and manage two Registered Jersey herds. The home farm in central California, D & E Jerseys, milks 575 cows and has a 2009 AJCA lactation average of 18,771 lbs. milk, 819 lbs. fat and 674 lbs. protein and a JPI average of +35. The second dairy in Dalhart, Texas, was established in 2007 and today milks about 2,200 cows. Sherman has genotyped 22 females to date and had 10 young bulls genotyped by A.I. Two of the genotyped heifers are the highest-ranking daughters of their respective sires, Ahlem Lemvig Abe-ET and Blair Bells Roy. Sherman also has experience with genotyping as chairman of the sire selection committee at Jerseyland Sires/Alta Genetics. Eric Silva, Sunset Canyon Jerseys, Beaver, Ore. Silva operates Sunset Canyon with his wife, Paula Wolf, and their family. The 180-cow dairy is enrolled on REAP and has a 2009 AJCA lactation average of 22,218 lbs. milk, 1,056 lbs. fat and 836 lbs. protein and JPI average of +40. The dairy has genotyped 37 females—10 cows and 27 heifers mostly out of the genotyped group of cows. Thirteen of the genotyped heifers rank on the list of the Top 500 Heifers for PA JPI—10 are from the “Maid” family, two are out of “Daffy” and the final heifer is a Lencrest Blackstone-ET daughter out of BW Centurion Iris K347. Jerry Spielman, Heartland Jerseys, Seneca, Kan. Heartland Jerseys is a 400-cow Registered Jersey dairy operated by Spielman and his family. The herd has a 2009 AJCA lactation average of 20,713 lbs. milk, 987 lbs. fat and 782 lbs. protein and a JPI average of +51. Spielman has genotyped 22 females—six cows and 16 heifers—and was among the first in the business to genotype virgin heifers. From this group, two full sisters out of Heartland Paramount Brynn-ET and sired by “Impuls” rank on the list of Top 500 Heifers for PA JPI and Heartland Abe Dakota is ranked #64 on the list of the Top 200 Cows for JPI with a GJPI of +211.
Questions What initially sparked your interest in genotyping? Allen: Our first experiences with genotyping were generated by requests from the A.I. industry to genotype some of our heifers and young bulls. A “Lexington” daughter out of the “Mamme” cow family is one of the two heifers we genotyped. She currently is his top daughter on the list of the Top 500 Heifers for PA JPI. Even though “Violet” has not been genotyped, bull studs were interested in genotyping her sons because her dam has been genotyped as has a maternal sister at D&E Jerseys. Gaby: We became interested in genotyping more or less to keep up with a new and emerging development. Pearl: After “Daffy’s” genomic evaluations came out so high, we decided to genotype seven of her ET heifers still on the farm. We could not incorporate all of them into a herd of our size, so had them genotyped for marketing purposes. Because their numbers were high, A.I. wrote contracts on most of them and we think there will be eventual contract interest on the other heifers as well. Since we don’t have enough recipients to handle the A.I. interest, we sold two of the highest-numbered heifers privately. Sherman: Being able to take advantage of new technologies has always been of interest to me. And, the opportunity to breed better cattle and select from a wider group of genomically-tested sires has untold advantages for Jersey breed improvement. Silva: We first became interested in genotyping after we worked with Select Sires and Merial. Even though the selection involved just a few traits, we learned an interesting lesson on determining genetic rank of our best animals. We look at genotyping as being just another opinion to help us determine the value of these animals in the market place. Spielman: The biggest reason for my interest in genotyping is to mate cows and heifers. When you mate a genotyped cow with a genotyped bull, you have the most information available to make improvements in the next generation with higher reliability.

Do you have experience with A.I. organizations in genotyping young bulls? If so, did you receive the genotyping results? Were you involved in evaluating the information with the A.I. organization? Did the results influence the A.I. organization’s decision to write a contract? Allen: Yes, I have experience with several A.I. organizations in genotyping young bulls. I received the results on each young bull and was involved in evaluating the information with the stud. The results did, in fact, influence the A.I. organizations’ decisions to write contracts. Gaby: Yes, we have experience with genotyping bulls through A.I. organizations and received the results. Though we were somewhat involved in evaluating the information, the A.I. organizations, for the most part, have pretty definite requirements. While genotyping did influence the A.I. organization’s decision to write the contract, it was more influential in determining whether or not they took the bull than defining the details of the contract. We are now just beginning to get calves on the ground from contracts made using genotyping information. For the most part, though, our bull calves were contracted before genotyping was such a big part of the industry’s decision-making process. Pearl: We have had nine young bulls genotyped by A.I. organizations. There was some discussion about the information and genotyping influenced the stud’s decision to write a contract on eight of them. Genotyping also influenced the contracting of two other young bulls we had on the farm that would not have been contracted had it not been for genotyping. We sent their pedigrees to several A.I. organizations. They
were then genotyped and are headed to A.I. because of their high genomic evaluations. Sherman: I have a lot of experience with genomic testing of young sires not only as dairy producer, but also as chairman of the sire selection committee at Jerseyland Sires/Alta Genetics. At the farm, we have received genotyping results on all the bulls that have been tested by all the A.I. organizations with which we have worked. I have also been involved in evaluating genomic results for Jerseyland Sires/Alta Genetics with Dr. Bob Welper and now use them almost exclusively to make contract decisions. Silva: We have had several of our bulls genotyped by A.I. and were informed of the results right away. We have been somewhat involved in deciding whether or not to sample the bull. Spielman: We have experience with A.I. organizations in genotyping young bulls, received the information, and discussed the results with their staff. A.I. organizations are comparing genomic PTAs and traditional PAs to make selections. Genomic information can help them select the best from multiple full siblings. For example, if there are four or five bulls from a single ET mating, the stud can pick the highest one or two bulls rather than taking all of the animals. Is age a consideration when genotyping females? If so, please explain why. Allen: Yes, we like to genotype virgin heifers to help us decide whether or not they meet our standards for ET work and criteria for A.I. Gaby: Age is absolutely a consideration. For $240, I see no need to genotype cows with multiple lactations, where yield deviations and scores for the cow herself are already in place and scored daughters with

production records are contributing to her genetic evaluation as well. Pearl: We have genotyped only virgin heifers. This has opened a whole new world of marketing for us and we are now merchandising these heifers and their young sons. Sherman: Testing younger animals has been our priority as this will help us identify superior individuals so that we can use and market their genetics sooner. Every potential young sire dam has been tested to help market her progeny. Silva: The first animals we genotyped were of all ages; our goal was to identify the best animals within our herd. Since we now know the females that are most likely to transmit the highest genetic value, we try to get their daughters genotyped as soon as possible as this helps us get a better idea where we are heading genetically. Spielman: We have focused on genotyping heifers out of our highest-pedigreed cows because they should represent the best genetics in the herd. If the heifer’s genomic results turn out favorable, dairy producers can flush the dam and develop the herd faster with the best genetics. What criteria did you use to determine which animals to genotype? Allen: I use three criteria: most popular bloodlines; the animals with the most marketing potential; and higher indexing cattle. Gaby: We select flush mates, preferably with three or more full siblings, or a cow who does not have much ancestry success, but is performing exceptionally well herself. Pearl: The animal’s JPI, sire, type and milk are major genotyping criteria, as is interest from A.I. organizations. Sherman: We have tested high JPI individuals to verify their genetic potential. We

JERSEY JOURNAL
are still testing those same kinds of animals and will always be looking for the animal with untapped potential. Silva: Our original goal for genotyping was to find from within our group of high JPI cows those that were truly genetically superior for production. But, we have had some very interesting results with genotyping and discovered unforeseen uses for the technology. For example, health traits are ones that can’t be seen by looking at a cow; genotyping has helped us identify animals that have potential to transmit those desirable traits. Spielman: I genotype cattle with high JPIs that have high production and high appraisals as well. I carefully consider genotyping young cows that don’t have high scores. Before they are genotyped, I look at the dams of these animals and make sure they have good udder and type traits that would carry through to their daughter(s). How has genotyping benefitted in the management of your herd? Allen: Genotyping has helped us decide which new animals to purchase for our herd. Also, I have more confidence in using young sires that have been genotyped. Gaby: At this point, we don’t know how genotyping will impact the management of the herd. In a few years, we will find out how these young genotyped heifers and bulls and their offspring develop. Pearl: Genotyping can help us with herd management because we can use high-indexing young sires with genomic evaluations with more confidence on any of the cows and heifers in our herd because they have increased reliabilities. Sherman: Genotyping has helped us identify additional cow families that can be added to our marketing and herd improvement programs, as well as opened up a whole new thought process for service sire selection. Silva: We hope to use genomics to breed a tougher, longer lasting cow that is nice to look at, as both traits are important to us. We have noticed that the Productive Life (PL) trait varies greatly among siblings and this can have a profound effect on her final JPI. While I don’t see PL as a replacement for sound type, I do find it interesting that, at this point, there seems to be very little correlation between PL and PTAT. Spielman: Genotyping gives us more confidence in our breeding program as we can see how our cow families have developed throughout the years. It proves that a good mating program is essential to herd progress and gives us the tools to get there. It also gives us more confidence to use high ranking young sires on a greater number of
Breeder Experiences with Genotyping Genomics is another instrument that has been added to the toolbox for determining true genetic merit of an animal, along with pedigree, performance and performance of progeny. While the dairy industry has been very effective in using pedigree and performance information to identify individuals that transmit ideal traits, evaluation of an animal’s DNA through genotyping can help us fine-tune this process and speed genetic gain. The 64 Jersey breeders who have genotyped a Registered Jersey female have new information that has not been previously available to help them better manage and market their herds. The results of genotyping have confirmed their expectations and yielded surprises. “Some of the animal’s genomic evaluations decreased from their traditional evaluations; others surpassed them,” noted Donnie Sherman. “None of the drops have been huge, though, and we have found new standouts we didn’t know about before.” “In the end, the information is what it is,” he continued. “We look at genotyping as being a tool that provides information we didn’t know before—information that can help us breed better cattle in the future.” In most cases, it is not simply a matter of genetic gain or genetic loss since a number of traits are evaluated and emphasis on the value of a particular trait varies by breeder or A.I. organization. Because of this, the technology has become especially useful for evaluating full siblings. “The differences among full siblings are remarkable, as are the genomic evaluations for some traits as compared to parent averages,” remarked Eric Silva, who genotyped four full siblings out of his “Maid” family (see chart below) and then purchased two of the seven full siblings out
of “Daffy” that had been genotyped by William and Gwen Pearl. “I expected to find big differences in type and production, but was really surprised at the differences in health traits like productive life,” Silva continued. “We would never have all of this information without genotyping. It opens a new door of opportunity for dairy cattle breeding.” Genotyping of females brings opportunity to increase the accuracy of selection as well, especially among young animals. Genotyped heifers typically have genomic reliabilities that approach 60% versus those associated with parent averages, which are about 35%. Reliabilities of genotyped cows exceed 60%. Even with genotyping, there remains the element of reliability that is increased by the animal’s performance and that of her progeny. The adoption of super-density DNA chips, now on the horizon with the lowdensity chips, may boost the reliabilities of genomic evaluations. This stresses the continued need for good phenotypes which come from herd appraisals, production testing and animal identification programs. Genomic evaluations will be run by USDA in 2010 in February, April, June, August, October and December. To ensure that genomic information will be included on performance pedigrees and performance progeny reports, genotyping kits should be requested from the AJCA at least three weeks prior to the genetic run. Genotyping of females is available for $240 per animal for REAP herds and $250 for other herds.

cows and heifers in the herd because most of them have been genotyped.
Sherman: We genotyped our consignments to the Pot O’Gold and The All American Jersey Sales in November and the National Heifer Sale last July to add value to our consignment. We plan to continue to do this in the near future. Silva: Genotyping has been a great value to us from a marketing standpoint.

and type and merchandise bulls and females in the future. We think this is very important and have genomic testing in our financial budget for 2010 as a separate item. Silva: If you’re in the business of breeding high-indexing cattle for the market, you can’t afford not to genotype. Knowing the genetic value of a cow before she’s flushed really helps you make sound business decisions. Spielman: You can’t justify the cost of genotyping every cow or heifer you own. But, you can pick animals that have shown they are promising or profitable and start there. As with nearly everything new, the price to genotype will, hopefully, become more affordable as it becomes more popular. Do you plan to increase your genotyping efforts in the coming year? Allen: Absolutely. I think it’s the wave of the future in the dairy industry and a money maker for our farm. I believe genotyping is the next best thing since A.I. and embryo transfer. Gaby: We are approaching this technology on a need/have-to basis for females. We just don’t have the money or confidence to move more quickly on genotyping. Pearl: Yes—if or when we have other animals that we suspect could genotype well. Sherman: We plan to test four animals per month in both our Hilmar herd and the Avi-Lanche herd in Texas. Silva: Since we have genotyped most of the cows that we are flushing, it will now be a matter of genotyping their daughters routinely as they are born. Spielman: I want to increase our genotyping efforts significantly in the coming year if the dairy economy picks up and dairying becomes profitable once again. I am hoping to be able to genotype 25-30 heifers this year. What types of Jersey herds do you think stand to benefit the most from genotyping? Or, is genotyping a tool that all dairy producers can use to better manage their herds? Allen: I think all Jersey herds are going to benefit from genotyping in one way or another by producing more profitable cattle. All will have opportunity to use better sires with higher reliabilities. Gaby: Initially, high JPI herds stand to gain the most, but I hope it helps everyone at some point—at least that is how it is being promoted and sold. Pearl: Some dairy producers will benefit directly from genotyping animals in their herds as they will be able to merfebruary 2010
chandise and write A.I. contracts on their best individuals. All dairy producers will benefit indirectly from genotyping as they will have access to young sires with high genomic evaluations. Sherman: All Jersey breeders will be able to benefit as genotyping will give all of us better tools to work with. It helps make our current JPI system a much more reliable tool, whether we are breeding a commercial herd, show cattle, or both. Genotyping can help breeders manage and market their herds better. Silva: I think that the seedstock herds will get the greatest immediate benefit from
genotyping. All herds will eventually get the trickle-down benefit from genotyping, perhaps indirectly in the form of genotyped young sires. Once genotyping becomes cost effective, large commercial herds could use the tool to determine which animals on which to best use sexed semen or even which heifer calves to raise and cull if growing herd size is not a goal. Spielman: I think any herd regardless of size can use genotyping as long as it is done on a selective basis. If you have a high JPI herd, genotyping should be even more beneficial. A cheaper test will make a big (continued to page 26)

Genotyping Roundtable (continued from page 25)
difference too as more dairy producers will utilize genotyping and breed improvement will continue to grow at a faster rate. What advice would you offer to someone who wants to start genotyping? If you could pick just one animal, how would you pick? Allen: My advice for someone wanting to start genotyping would be to start slow. Begin with the higher-indexing animals as these should be the genetically-superior animals in their herd. Gaby: I would advise dairy producers to genotype a heifer out of an older proven cow family with proven sires throughout the pedigree. If they have only one elite heifer, I would not advise them to genotype her, but instead ride the traditionally-calculated numbers that identify her as elite until she Page 26
is a cow. Pearl: Look for animals with deep pedigrees in type, milk and components and who have unique and/or high-numbered sires. Sherman: Depth of pedigree seems to help us identify the animals that have the most potential to exceed their parent average, as well as high JPI individuals. Select animals or cow families that will enable you to get a return on your investment, as the current testing process is not cheap. Silva: I would pick a small group of my best cows. Doing full sisters has given us some very surprising results. I don’t think I would do just one cow as it is important to have a group with which to make some comparisons. Spielman: I would suggest that they pick their highest JPI heifer. If at all possible, it would be more beneficial to choose several of the top JPI heifers in the herd so that the best cow families can be identified.
Then, use those families to improve the genetic base. How have you used genomically-tested young bulls in your herd? Are you using more young sires now because of genomics? Allen: We have used the top genomically tested young bulls in our ET work for A.I. contracts and as general herd sires. Absolutely, positively I use more young sires now because of genomics because I have more confidence in how the offspring of these young sires will turn out. Gaby: Yes, I am now using slightly more young sires because of genotyping, and, hopefully, with more confidence. Pearl: We have always used young sires for about 40% of the matings in our herd. We will probably increase this percentage because of the increased reliability in genomically-tested young sires. We are us(continued to page 28)
JERSEY JOURNAL
Genotyping Roundtable (continued from page 26)
ing genomically-tested young sires in all of our matings, even in our flushing program. Sherman: We have used high-indexing genomically tested young bulls as mating sires for sons and plan to continue to do more of this. We have used more young sires in both herds, but, because we are growing, continue to use a large amount of sexed proven bull semen. All the bull studs are offering top genomic young sires and we feel we need to fit all of them into our program to take advantage of an opportunity when it presents itself. Silva: We have decided to aggressively use some of the highest rated young sires on our very best genomic tested cows. However, we still like to be comfortable with the pedigrees of the cows and bulls and not base matings strictly on numbers. We have also begun to flush a few heifers—this is something we have not done previously. Spielman: We are starting to use a greater number of young sires, especially those ranked high for Net Merit and Productive Life and with exceptional udder traits to spread out risk in case evaluations do not prove out. We use these young bulls on first flushes and then follow them up with another flush to a top 10 JPI bull to give us offspring with higher JPIs. How do you see genomics changing your business over the next five years? How do you see them changing the dairy industry over the coming five years? Allen: In the future, we will not buy animals that are not genomic tested. As well, we will use genotyping to find the lower end of our heifer replacements and use these animals as embryo recipients rather than continuing their poor genetics. I think genomics will add value to the upper end of dairy herds. It will make producers more profitable by having cattle with more production and more favorable type. Gaby: In both cases, genomics will be a slow learning curve and a technology whose value will come to light in 18 months
to three years. I hope it helps improve this great breed. Pearl: Genomic testing will help us single out the animals on which we need to focus and determine the ones that will help us get contracts or send sons to A.I. Genomic testing might improve the genetics a little faster and may also reduce the number of A.I. contracts that are written. Sherman: Genomics should allow us to make more rapid progress in production while also improving functional type and health traits. We might also see bulls in active collection for a shorter period of time as genomics encourages us to use young bulls earlier for more rapid genetic progress. Genomics may make bulls obsolete more quickly because of the increased selection pressures on both the male and female sides of the equation. I’m not sure how genomics will change the dairy industry, but am hoping we will be able to keep up on the management side as that could be the bigger challenge. The thought of continuing to breed a better cow—one with a sound udder, good feet and legs and greater productive life—is exciting and overwhelms me. I believe genomics is made for the Jersey cow and will help her to prosper even more. Silva: We are in the beginning stages of a very fast race; time will tell if we have been running in the right direction or not. We just flushed one of “Daffy’s” 14-monthold genotyped daughters to “Valentino” and an 11-month-old genotyped daughter of “Lemvig Maid 4” to “Vibrant” to capitalize on rapid genetic gain. That being said, we will continue to use the best proven bulls on at least half of our best females. The beauty of ET is that we can play two slot machines at one time! Spielman: I hope to be able to genotype more cows and heifers from our herd in the coming years. I also hope that more bulls can be genotyped so that we can improve any part of the physical makeup of our cows that is lacking and make improvements in milk production and longevity through more-informed matings.

Kentucky Breeders Hold Annual Meeting
Jersey breeders from Kentucky met on December 5, 2009, at Ryan’s Steakhouse in Elizabethtown, Ky., for the annual meeting of the state Jersey organization. Kentucky breeders were recognized for their accomplishments at The All American Jersey Show in November. Jersey junior Skyler Degroft, Cave City, was commended for receiving the Garland Bastin-NAILE Scholarship and adult exhibitors were congratulated for winning the state herd class at The All American Jersey Show for the second consecutive year. An exhibit promoting the accomplishments of the Kentucky Jersey breeders will be displayed at the Kentucky State Fair this summer. Members were encouraged to attend and consign to the Kentucky National Show and Sale on April 2 in Louisville and the Derby Showcase All Breeds Sale on May 2 in Frankfort. The Kentucky State Junior Show will again be held in conjunction with the Marion County Fair. New junior officers for the club will be elected at that time. Chris Thomas, Campbellsville, was selected as junior recruiter and Jordan Elmore, Elizabethtown, was appointed as junior vice chair. Applications for the McRay Youth Scholarship are due to Becky Nash, Campbellsville, on March 1, 2010. Officers were elected to serve in 2010 are: Ron Kitchen, Waynesburg, president; Dante Carpenter, Russell Springs, and Becky Nash, vice presidents; David Stiles, Bowling Green, secretary; and Brenda O’Bryan, Mount Washington, treasurer.

The Seacord family held the production sale to downsize the herd after a second set of facilities that had been rented since 2005 was sold.

Top Genetics Lead Hope Acres Dispersal
A decade of investment in some of the breed’s most marketable genetics paid off for the Heindel family when it came time for them to disperse their herd of Registered Jerseys at the farm in Brogue, Pa. Demand for catalogs was strong in the weeks that led to the Hope Acres Complete Dispersal and bids were fielded from Jersey breeders across the country. The 235 lots that crossed the auction block on October 20, 2009, sold for an average of $1,125.81 and a gross of $264,565—the highest dispersal gross reported to the Jersey Journal in the first 10 months of 2009. The average included the sale of 42 heifer calves, which brought $802.14 on average, and 11 heifer calves less than three months-of-age that sold with their dams for $559.09 on average. Sale Analysis

Sale Management: Clemson University Auctioneer: Lynn Smith
The sale culminates 18 months of hard work for young people that participate in the South Carolina Bred Heifer Project, many of which have no previous dairy background. Each April, a group of calves donated by South Carolina dairy producers is matched to juniors through a lottery system. Youth are then charged with the responsibility for raising, breeding, showing and then selling their animals in the sale. Two production-bred individuals from longtime supporters of the bred heifer project topped the sale at $1,800 each. Eastglen Farms, Laurens, S.C., signed the check for both of them and was also the day’s high seller with three purchases totaling $4,750. One of their selections was the sale’s sole milking individual, Will Do Jacinto Spirit. The two-year-old is sired by Mason Lemvig Jacinto-ET, JPI +70, and backed by five Excellent or Very Good dams with outstanding production. “Spirit” freshened with her first calf in mid-July at 1-8 and sold served to SC Gold Dust Paramount Iatola-ET, JPI +85, in early September. “Spirit’s” dam is a Very Good-84% daughter of Rock Ella Paramount-ET, JPI +97, with five completed lactations and a best record of 3-00 305 20,280 4.7% 957 3.6% 725 92DCR. Her Very Good81% grandam has a three lactation m.e. average of 25,570–1,072–839. Her third dam is appraised Very Good-87% and has an m.e. of 23,154–1,057–849 on two
Page 44
lactations. Her fourth and fifth dams are both Excellent with records in excess of 17,300 lbs. milk. “Spirit” was consigned by Elizabeth McLead, Kinards, S.C., and made available to the heifer project by breeder, Edwin R. and Cheryl F. Ettinger, Will Do Jerseys, also of Kinards. This is the second consecutive year that an animal bred by Will Do Jerseys has topped the South Carolina Bred Heifer Sale. The other $1,800-priced heifer was Eastglen Jimmie Desire. Eastglen Farms had donated her to the heifer project in April 2008 and thought so highly of her that they bought her back from her junior owner, Jacob Smith of Saluda. “Desire” is sired by Den-Kel Shane Jimmie-ET, JPI +40, and sold due to Ahlem Lemvig Abe-ET, JPI +164, in mid-November. Her Very Good-80% dam is sired by Grammer Hallmark MitchellET, JPI +28, and has a two lactation m.e. average of 20,676–917–671. Her grandam is appraised Very Good-81% and made 20,080 lbs. milk, 979 lbs. fat and 650 lbs. protein in her second lactation. Her third and fourth dam are both Very Good and have records over 17,000 lbs. milk. “Desire’s” fifth dam, 78 Ammie of Sunny Day, Excellent-93%, has six completed lactations and a best record of 5-2 365 31,340 4.0% 1,261 3.3% 1,049 DHIR. The record ranked among the top 25 milk and protein records in breed history when it was completed in 1992. The South Carolina Bred Heifer Sale also auctioned 21 Holsteins and four Guernseys for respective averages of $1,485 and $1,287.50. Since it was established in 1973, more than 1,100 young people have participated in the South Carolina Bred Heifer Project. Many youth have established their own dairy farms or begun careers in the dairy industry, thanks, in part, to their experience with the program. Often, the heifers become a part of the family and many juniors purchase their project heifer from the sale, including two from this year’s event—Katie Martin of Pendleton and Cassie Sansbury of Newberry.

Top Three High Selling Cows
A first choice female sired by BW Renegade-ET and out of BW Avery Katie ET121ET, above, was the high selling female of The All American Jersey Sale at $15,500 and the year’s seventh high seller overall. The choice was purchased by Yosemite Jerseys, Richard Clauss and Brett Barlass and consigned by Brentwood Farms.
“Griffen” earned the title as the breed’s second high selling individual when Peter Vail and Budjon Farms purchased her for $80,000 from the Field of Dreams III sale in June 2005. The pair has been able to recoup their investment as several other offspring out of “Griffen” have brought top dollar in years past. A son, Budjon-Vail Sultan GatorET, was syndicated at the Chosen Few at Country Hills sale for $53,250 and was the high selling individual of 2007. The same year, a daughter, Budjon-Vail Pretty Girl-ET, sold in The All American Jersey Sale for $17,400. A year earlier, another daughter, Griffens Cover Girl, crossed the auction block at the Oblong Valley Celebration Sale for $20,700. Other High Selling Females A daughter of the reigning Supreme Champion of the North American International Livestock Exposition, Ratliff Price Alicia, was the year’s high selling open yearling and the ninth high seller overall. Ratliff Governor Ashtyn-ET crossed the auction block at the Midwest Spring Special Sale for $15,250. The intermediate yearling was consigned by Ron and Christy Ratliff, Garnett, Kan., and joined a group of fancy herdmates at River Valley Farm, Tremont, Ill. “Ashtyn” is sired by Griffens Governor-ET, JPI -20. Her Excellent-91% dam was tapped as National Grand Champion in 2008 and 2009 as well and has 20,880 lbs. milk, 1,104 lbs. fat and 760 lbs. protein in her second lactation. Following “Ashtyn” as second high selling open yearling was the high seller of the Wisconsin Spring Spectacular Sale, held on April 24 in Viroqua, Wis. Rapid Bay Com Jelly-ET was purchased for $14,750 by Tom Gretz Jr., Mt. Pleasant, Pa., and consigned by Joel Bagg, Little Britain, Ont. The “Comerica” daughter was named Reserve All-Canadian Intermediate Heifer Calf in 2008. Her third dam is Duncan february 2010

Changes that have occurred in the U.S. Jersey population because of breeders’ mating choices and their impact in an updated Jersey Performance Index™ will be discussed at a seminar, March 13 in Columbus, Ohio. The program will be presented by Dr. Ronald E. Pearson, emeritus professor at Virginia Tech and developer of the Jersey Perfor mance Index™ as well as the Functional Trait Index and Jersey Udder Index™. The seminar, Pearson also to be broadcast as a live webinar, will begin at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 13, at the Concourse Hotel and Conference Center in Columbus, Ohio. The program is being held in conjunction with the winter meetings of the directors of the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) and National All-Jersey Inc., (NAJ) and the 2010 planning meetings for The All American Jersey Show & Sale. Since beginning his career in 1971 as a USDA research geneticist, Pearson has been a prolific scientific author and contributor to the success of the worldwide dairy industry. He has been honored by the American Dairy Science Association (ADSA) with the J.L. Lush Award for outstanding contribution in dairy genetics. He also received a National Association of Animal Breeders award for outstanding research and the AJCA-NAJ Meritorious Service Award in 2009 for his research focused on developing selection tools based on their impact on improving herd profitability.

A base change accompanied the dairy cattle genetic evaluations released by USDA’s Animal Improvement Programs Laboratory (AIPL) in January 2010. The base, or zero point, from which all cows and bulls are compared was adjusted to compensate for genetic progress and make Predicted Transmitting Abilities (PTA) values more manageable. The new base is now the average genetic level of cows born in 2005, rather than cows born in 2000 (the previous genetic base). PTAs for each trait have been adjusted downward or upward by an amount that corresponds to the change in the genetic level of the trait. Most traits for Jerseys have
improved, so PTAs for January 2010 are lower than their counterparts from the last genetic evaluation in August 2008. In this month’s Jersey Jargon column, we’ll take a closer look at base changes and see how some Jersey traits have changed over the past decade. As well, we’ll evaluate changes that AIPL made in the calculation of Net Merit, a tool dairy producers use for breeding for improved profitability. Genetic Base Changes Base changes were made in U.S. dairy cattle evaluations in 1965, 1974, 1984 and 1989 and then on a routine, fiveyear basis beginning in 1995. A genetic base change is made so dairy producers can more easily compare cows and bulls to a recent group of their peers. PTAs remain relatively constant from genetic summary to genetic summary and change most dramatically in summaries that coincide with base changes.

The chart above shows changes in the genetic level for production and fitness traits across three genetic base changes. Jerseys have increased milk, fat, protein and cheese yield production over the past decade, but the rate of progress has slowed in recent years. The rate of progress for Productive Life continues at a rapid pace and Somatic Cell Score has stabilized. An area of concern is Daughter Pregnancy Rate, which indicates that breed fertility has declined slightly over time.

Jerseys born in 2005, as compared to their counterparts born in 2000 and 1995, are taller, stronger and more dairy, have a steeper foot angle, and improved udder traits.
february 2010
With the 2010 update, PTA production averages for the breed have been adjusted downward by 323 lbs. milk, 17 lbs. fat, 12 lbs. protein and 41.5 lbs. cheese yield. For fitness traits, the PTA average for Productive Life dropped by 0.8 months, Somatic Cell Score stayed the same and Daughter Pregnancy Rate (DPR) increased by 0.1%. PTA final score dropped by 0.62, with other changes reflecting the fact that, compared to the average of cows born in 2000, cows born in 2005 are now somewhat taller, stronger and more dairy, and have a steeper foot angle and better udder traits across the board. The tables at left provide a snapshot of genetic change for production, fitness and type traits in the Jersey breed over the past decade. While improvements have been made for nearly all measures, DPR has declined slightly as the Jersey cow has become less fertile. In a forwardthinking move, the board of directors of the American Jersey Cattle Association approved a heavier emphasis on DPR in the calculation of Jersey Performance Index (JPI)™ in June 2006. Revisions to Net Merit Indexes AIPL also updated the three Net Merit indexes in January 2010. The revisions take into account the increases in feed costs, apply different economic values for somatic cell count payments depending on milk markets, and adjust the relative emphasis on production and fitness traits compared to the 2006 version. While the weights for individual traits vary among the indexes, in general, there is less emphasis on component yields and greater emphasis on Productive Life, Daughter Pregnancy Rate and functional type composites. The ratio of production to fitness traits in the formula for Net Merit dollars (NM$) is now 42:58. For Fluid Merit dollars (FM$), it is now 45:55. Interestingly, the relative emphasis on production to fitness traits in Cheese Merit dollars (CM$) is now like that used in the calculation of JPI at 60:40. For complete information on the relative weightings used to calculate NM$, FM$ and CM$, see page two of the new Jersey Genetic Summary, available online at http://greenbook. usjersey.com.

GENETIC IMPROVEMENT
Sires Ranked by Number of Sons Registered, 2009 The 95,557 Jerseys recorded by the American Jersey Cattle Association during 2009 were sired by 3,217 different bulls. Which bulls are used most widely? And, who are the leading sires of sons? A total of 50 bulls sired 10 or more sons registered in 2009. In total, these bulls sired 47% of all Jerseys—male and female—and 61.3% of all males (3,313) recorded during the year. The 38 bulls siring 13 or more sons are listed below. Studying the top 10, 20 or 30 of these bulls is important for two reasons. First, they are largely determining the breed’s production capability in the near future. Second, they are going to continue to exert their influence upon the breed’s genetic merit for production and functional fitness for many years through their registered sons.
with a PTA for Cheese Merit Dollars of +279; Final Score of +1.1 and a JPI of +144. These bulls sired nearly two-thirds more than the registered sons and daughters (7,574) as the next group of 10 bulls, who had 402 sons registered. The production traits in this group showed slight decreases over the 2008 averages. The group has the lowest Expected Future Inbreeding numbers at 6.6%. For the second consecutive year, the third group of bulls showed the most increase in their production traits. With 206 bulls registered from this group, production indexes mirrored the top 10 group of sires. Three of the bulls had PTAs of over 1,100 lbs. milk. The relative genetic contribution of the 50 proven sires with 10 or more sons to the genetic pool for 2009, is indicated by the weighted average (bottom line of the table). This average is slightly higher than the raw average of their PTAs, thus the general average that the bulls with the highest Predicted Transmitting Abilities are contributing the most to the average genetic merit of male offspring of these highest-use sires.
Bulls By Group The top 10 bulls ranked by the number of sons registered sired a total of 19,413 offspring, of which 1,173 were sons. Their PTA production averages are higher than the 2008 numbers for the same group. The 10 bulls average +911M (+247 lbs.), +40F and +32P Rank 2009 2008 Sire Name

Young Sire Programs Continue Growth As domestic and international sales of Jersey semen continue an upward climb, it is imperative that Jersey breeders sample an adequate number of Jersey bulls. The Young Sire Groups administered by the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) are striving to do their part to meet this demand by increasing the number of bulls sampled. In 2009, the groups sampled 11 young bulls. In the coming year, the groups plan to sample 18-20 bulls. Membership in the groups has grown in recent years. In December 2009, membership in the Young Sire Groups (Dairyland Jersey Sires Inc., Dixieland Jersey Sires Inc., Great Western Jersey Sires Inc., Liberty Jersey Sires Inc., and New England Jersey Sires Inc.) stood at 422 herds. Though much of the growth in the numbers is due to the fact that membership became available free-of-charge to REAP herds in 2006, the young sire program would not flourish without benefits. In addition to a reduced price for semen (approximately $3.50 a unit), members can have an active role in selecting the
Page 76
young bulls that will be sampled. They are entitled to reduced registration fees, which are discounted $3 for non-REAP herds or credited $3 to the account of REAP herds. Members also receive royalty checks for owning milking daughters that contribute to a young sire’s proof. Because income is pooled from the entire group of bulls proven in a given year, all members who use young sire semen share in the success. This past August, 236 members shared a sum total of $114,750.33. The checks distributed averaged $486, with the largest check exceeding $3,700. Sires that contributed to the pool were: 1JE346 Dogwood Hill Poseidon Kenai, 1JE480 Wilsonview Khan Morgan, 1JE564 Bohnerts Freedom Abraham, 1JE604 Oomsdale Jace Gratude Gannon-ET, 7JE622 Ferreira Lemvig Piranha-ET, 7JE624 SJ Barmore Haleys RocketmanET, 7JE741 High Lawn Fredrico Premier, 7JE744 Woodstock Morgan Rainier, 7JE750 Oomsdale Morgan Gloria Gravy, 9JE188 Grammer Barber Samaritan-ET, 9JE202 O.F.
