Jersey breeders across the country are hoping the adage, “In like a lion and out like a lamb” plays out this March after record snowfall has hit many parts of the country this winter. This daughter of Richies Jace TBone A364 at St. Brigids Farm in Kennedyville, Md., gives herd owners, Judy Gifford and Bob Fry, opportunity to explain to consumers how animals are well-cared for even in the harshest of weather conditions on their website blog. The herd has a 2009 AJCA Lactation Average of 19,284 lbs. milk, 934 lbs. fat and 739 lbs. protein on 68 head. March is the Production issue. Coverage of the top herds in the nation begins on page 18.

Bobbi and Mike Rauch
In honor of their significant contributions to the welfare and progress of the Missouri dairy industry, Mike and Bobbi Rauch, Billings, Mo., were awarded the Distinguished Dairy Cattle Breeder Award. The honor was presented by the Missouri Dairy Hall of Fame Honors Foundation at the organization’s annual meeting on February 5 in Columbia, Mo. Mike is currently serving the Central Equity Milk Producers Cooperative as president and Bobbi is secretary. The couple operates Sancrest Farms, a Registered Jersey herd in southwest Missouri. They have been raising Jersey dairy cows for more than 40 years and consistently rank among the top herds in the state, especially in protein and fat. Their milking cows are housed at Sho Me Jerseys in Billings. They also are successful with their Milking Shorthorn herd. Mike and Bobbi are joined by son Phil Rauch in their current operation of raising heifers, beef cattle and producing hay. Their other two children, Melissa Dover and Shannon Squibb, reside in the Billings area where they are also active in the dairy industry. JERSEY JOURNAL
When National All-Jersey’s Equity program was launched in 1976, one of its two goals was the nationwide implementation of an equitable milk pricing plan— a system that would pay for producers’ milk based on the value of its most valuable components—protein and fat— according to their use in consumer products. Ten years have passed since the historic implementation of multiple component pricing (MCP) on January 1, 2000, in seven orders producing 85% of all milk marketed under the Federal Milk Marketing Order system. What has been the impact of multiple component pricing for the dairy industry? Changes in average component levels within orders. The proponents of multiple component pricing said that it would give dairy producers the proper economic incentive to breed, feed and manage their herds over the long term to produce the milk components of greatest demand by processors and consumers. Without question, it is clear that MCP pricing signals have affected component levels, particularly for protein. Prior to Federal Order reform, milk produced in New England, New York and New Jersey (now Order 1) was priced on a fat-skim basis. For the year 2000, milk produced in that order averaged 2.99% protein. For 2009, the average protein for Order 1 milk has increased to 3.06%, a gain of 0.07% in 10 years. At $3.00 per pound, that is an additional 21-cents per hundredweight (cwt.). Similar changes have occurred in marketing areas that had component pricing before Federal Order reform. Here, the Pacific Northwest order (124) is a good example. Order average protein test was 3.02% for 2000, but at the end of 2009, it was 3.11%, a gain of 0.09%. Equitable pricing. Yields of manufactured products are determined are the levels of components in the milk; for cheese, those components are milkfat and protein. Highsolids milk improves the operating efficiencies of manufacturing plants. In short, milk containing higher component levels has greater value to the processor and should be priced accordingly. Jersey producers in orders paying on multiple component pricing received between $2.50 and $3.00/ cwt. more than fat-skim pricing in 2008, and between $1.40 and $2.00 more in 2009. Order-average milk was worth $0.25 to $1.07/cwt. more in 2008 compared to what fat-skim pricing would have paid. In 2009, the advantage from MCP ranked from $0.26 to $0.87/cwt. in 2009. Structure of the U.S. dairy cattle population. The color of the dairy industry has changed since January 1, 2000. MARCH 2010
Estimated from DHI cow enrollments, Holstein cattle comprised over 92% of the U.S. cow population in 2000, and Jerseys just 3.7%. Ten years later, the Jersey population has grown to 5.2%, the Holstein share is 87.6% and another 6.6% of dairy cows are located in what DHI calls “mixed” herds—herds made up of cows from different breeds as well as crossbred cattle. We can only speculate on how many Jersey and Jersey-sired cows there may be in those herds, but if it were just 25%, the Jersey estimate would increase by about two percentage points. The cumulative impact of longer productive life, increased semen sales, but above all Jerseys’ ability to produce milk’s valuable components more efficiently and at less cost are now clearly evident in the structure of the U.S. dairy cattle population. On its tenth anniversary, the bottom line of the multiple component pricing story is this. When dairy producers are given the proper economic signals to produce the kind of milk the market demands, they can and will respond. Nearly 41% of U.S. milk goes to cheese plants, and protein, milkfat and solids are the products of value in the export markets. Market signals favor the efficient Jersey cow. Notification Issued by Executive Secretary On February 15 at the order of the Board of Directors, the Executive Secretary notified AJCA members, customers and allied industry by email that the Animal Improvement Programs Laboratory, ARS-USDA, had informed the Association of discrepancies in the pedigree of Oomsdale Gordo Goldie Gratitude 111224922. AIPL’s finding was based on genomic tests of a number of progeny whose genomes included DNA (breed-specific SNPs) associated with the Holstein breed. The notification was sent by mail to the active members of the Association and is posted on the USJersey website. If you have not received this information and do not have internet access, a copy will be provided upon request. AJCA staff and AIPL research geneticists are working in cooperation to determine the correct parentage. The breeder of “Gratitude” has been very cooperative and diligent in reviewing and providing records extending for more than 15 years. A detailed report will be presented to the AJCA Board of Directors at its meeting, March 13 and 14 in Columbus. The Association will continue to inform you of the facts as they become available through the discovery process and of actions taken by the Board. Page 17

Jersey Breed Makes Production Gains in 2009
T
he Jersey breed marked the close of the first 10 years of the new millennium with production numbers that back the aptly named “Golden Decade of Jersey Breed Expansion.” A record 87,911 lactations were included in the breed lactation average for 2009—up 9,687 (12.4%) from 2008 and 33,351 (65%) from 1999. The breed also posted new benchmarks for all measures of production this past year even though producers faced unprecedented challenges in paying the feed bill and staying afloat. The lactation average for Jerseys now stands at 18,498 lbs. milk, 859 lbs. fat and 666 lbs. protein. On a Cheddar cheese equivalent basis, average yield is now 2,248 lbs. The mark represents gains of 41 lbs. milk, 12 lbs. fat, 6 lbs. protein and 25 lbs. cheese yield as compared to 2008. The lactation average is calculated on a standardized 305-day, twice-daily, mature equivalent (m.e.) basis. Records included in the averages have data collection ratings of 85 or more; herds identified in the rankings have a minimum of 10 cows. Based on the statistics of the previous 10 years, the breed lactation average is projected to reach 18,934 lbs. milk, 884 300 or More Records By Protein

lbs. fat and 677 lbs. protein by 2014. This production level is equivalent to 2,315 lbs. of cheese yield per lactation or an average yield of 12.36 lbs. of cheese per hundredweight. Though the lactation average increased, actual production for all measures decreased slightly in 2009 due to a younger cow population. Actual production is 16,431 lbs. milk, 766 lbs. fat and 591 lbs. protein, with component tests of 4.7% fat and 3.6% protein. Cheese yield on this production equates to 1,996 lbs. per lactation. High Herd Averages Milk New records for all measures of individual herd production were set this past year as well when the herd owned by Randy and Jana Kortus, Lynden, Wash., attained an AJCA lactation average of 32,395 lbs. milk, 1,502 lbs. fat and 1,134 lbs. protein on 21 lactations. The herd’s average cheese yield of 3,869 lbs. is also a new breed record. Mainstream Jerseys has led the nation for all production measures for four consecutive years and been the leading protein producer seven of the past eight years and the top milk producer six times. 300 or More Records By Milk

During the past year, production of the herd increased by 1,217 lbs. milk, 108 lbs. fat, 34 lbs. protein and 179 lbs. cheese yield as compared to the previous year. The Kortuses attribute much of the gain to a younger, more genetically-superior herd. Their observations reflect changes in the national dairy herd as well, which is becoming more productive due to a year of heavy culling of older, less productive cows and improved genetics in younger animals. “Our two-year-olds and young cows really helped our lactation average this year,” noted Randy Kortus. “We carried fewer older cows with long dry periods during 2009 and our young cows are getting better. It is not uncommon for our first-calf heifers to give 100 lbs. of milk a day.” Eight members of the Mainstream Jerseys herd produced records in 2009 that earned spots on the new National Class Leader List in this issue of the Jersey Journal. Five of them are junior threeyear-olds or younger. Havs Iatola Topaz, Very Good-87%, purchased by Michael Kortus in the 2007 Pot O’Gold Sale, is the reigning National Class Leader for fat and cheese yield among milking yearlings with (continued to page 20)

actual 305-day production of 32,270 lbs. milk, 1,615 lbs. fat, 1,079 lbs. protein and 3,727 lbs. cheese yield at 1-10. The record ranks second for milk and protein among her peers. Mainstream Bomber Shadow, Very Good-83%, ranks third for fat and cheese yield, fourth for milk and fifth for protein among junior two-year-olds with 31,980 lbs. milk, 1,581 lbs. fat, 1,082 lbs. protein and 3,738 lbs. cheese yield at 2-5. In the same age category, Mainstream PRH Juliemae-ET, Very Good-81%, is third for protein, fourth for cheese yield and fifth for milk with 30,320 lbs. milk, 1,279 lbs. fat, 1,143 lbs. protein and 3,636 lbs. cheese yield at 2-1. “I think another big secret to good production begins with the calf feeder,” added Kortus. “New research shows what and how much Jersey calves are fed impacts production. We have made it a priority from the beginning to feed our calves well and I think we are reaping the rewards of that effort today.” When asked about dairying with brown cows during the past year, Kortus, who also milks Holsteins and Ayrshires at the farm in northwest Washington, commented, “It is absolutely amazing what is happening with Jerseys here.” “In our county, one producer sold 500 Holsteins and brought in 500 Jerseys from California. Another just went through the buyout and plans to come back with Jerseys. A third wants to switch from Holsteins to Jerseys down the road. And others here are adding Jerseys to their black and white herds every day.” A mother-son partnership from Wisconsin that effectively incorporated the little brown cow into a black and white herd a dozen years ago ranks behind the Kortuses for milk production and places 10th (tie) for protein. The 29-cow herd owned by Barb and Kevin Marcks, Seymour, has an AJCA lactation average of 24,274 lbs. milk, 1,084 lbs. fat and 836 lbs. protein. This is the eighth year the Wolf River Jerseys herd has placed among the top 10 herds in the nation for milk, fat or protein production and the second time it has ranked second for milk. Among small herds, Wolf River Jerseys is second for milk, sixth for protein and seventh for fat. Kevin began dairying on his own in 1998 with a group of about 50 Holstein cows. Over the years, he bred them to the breed’s top bulls for Jersey Performance Index (JPI) and today has a herd that is 33 Registered Jersey cows and 36 JerseyHolstein crossbred cows that are bred Jersey and Holstein every other generation. JERSEY JOURNAL
“In the transition process, I’ve given up about 3,000 lbs. milk,” Kevin remarked. “But I haven’t given up a pound of fat or protein and I shaved off about 300-400 lbs. of body weight to feed. I’ve also gotten cows that are easier to breed and that get up and down better in the stalls.” Wolf River Jerseys is the highest-ranked herd for JPI on the list of the top 10 milk, fat and protein herds in the nation, with an average JPI of +74 (January 2010) and Predicted Transmitting Abilities of +356M, +22F and +15P. The herd owned by fellow Wisconsin Jersey breeders, Dan Stock and Donna Phillips of Newton ranks third in the nation for milk and protein and fourth for fat with an AJCA lactation average of 23,883 lbs. milk, 1,164 lbs. fat and 865 lbs. protein on 36 cows. The cheese yield equivalent on this average is 2,958 lbs. and ranks third nationally. D & D Jerseys moved up in the national rankings one spot for milk production, three for protein and six for fat from last year and is third for all production measures in the category for small herds. The herd increased pounds of components (42 lbs. fat and 13 lbs. protein) during 2009 even though it experienced a slight drop in pounds of milk from last year. The component increases were especially rewarding for Stock and Phillips in light of the fact that they fought a battle that included more enemies than just low milk prices and high feed prices. “We struggled with feed quality (moldy corn silage) issues this past year and worked very closely with our nutritionist to make sure the ration worked,” Phillips commented. “We are also beginning to see the results of our emphasis on components several years ago showing up in our young cows,” noted Phillips, who earns a premium for her rich Jersey milk from BelGioioso Cheese, a small cheese plant in Denmark, Wis., which specializes in award-winning Italian cheeses. “In our breeding program, we focus not just on pounds fat and protein, but like to use bulls that are plus for fat and protein test as well.” The herd owned by Keith S. Hockett, Randleman, N.C., ranks fourth for milk, fifth for protein and cheese yield and eighth for fat with an AJCA lactation average of 23,738 lbs. milk, 1,116 lbs. fat and 847 lbs. protein and cheese yield of 2,885 lbs. on 23 lactations. The Green Valley herd has been breeding its Holstein cows to top-production Jersey bulls in recent years and was able to increase production by 642 lbs. milk, 156 lbs. fat and 52 lbs. protein over last year’s marks.

Ranking fifth in the country for milk is the first of two university-owned Jersey herds listed on the short list of leading milk producers. The herd operated by California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, Calif., made significant gains of 1,217 lbs. milk during 2009 and has an AJCA lactation average of 23,659 lbs. milk, 1,077 lbs. fat and 825 lbs. protein on 89 lactations. The herd ranks first for milk, third for protein and fourth for fat among medium-sized herds with 80-149 records. The university milks a mixed herd of 150 Jerseys and Holsteins and recently put on hold a decision to reduce herd size by 80% after students and the community protested the move. Alumni and supporters volunteered to develop a business plan that would help the university retain as many animals as possible until the dairy economy improves. The dairy, which is primarily funded by dairy sales and endowments, also uses about 15% of its milk in the production of ice cream and cheese at Cal Poly Creamery. Top 10 Herds for Cheese Yield 1.

The largest herd of the top ranking herds in the nation retains its rank as sixth for milk. The herd owned by former National All-Jersey (NAJ) President, James Ahlem, Hilmar, Calif., has an AJCA lactation average of 23,434 lbs. milk, 1,028 lbs. fat and 808 lbs. protein on 2,512 lactations. The herd made increases of 257 lbs. milk, 28 lbs. fat and 20 lbs. protein all while herd size also increased by 470 head. The Ahlem herd is first for milk, third for protein and fifth for fat among large herds with 300 or more records. Vermont Jersey breeder Jill Maxham, South Hero, makes her debut among the top-ranked herds with an AJCA lactation average of 23,393 lbs. milk, 1,187 lbs. fat and 914 lbs. protein on 15 lactations. Cheese yield stands at 3,077 lbs. The marks rank second in the country for protein, fat (tie) and cheese yield and seventh for milk. The Apples & Waves Jerseys herd has a protein test of 3.91%, which is the fourth high protein test among all Jersey herds in 2009. In the category for small herds, the Maxham herd is second for JERSEY JOURNAL
components (tie for fat) and fifth for milk. With significant gains in all production measures, the other university-owned herd on the list of top milk producers, Mississippi State University, ranks eighth for milk with an AJCA lactation average of 23,276 lbs. milk, 1,092 lbs. fat and 825 lbs. protein on 24 records. The gains for the Jersey herd in Mississippi State, Miss., represent an additional 1,818 lbs. milk, 104 lbs. fat and 56 lbs. protein over last year. One of three Oregon dairies to make the list of the top 10 herds for milk, fat and protein, Martin Dairy LLC of Tillamook, has an AJCA lactation average of 23,269 lbs. milk, 1,134 lbs. fat, 848 lbs. protein and a cheese yield of 2,913 lbs. on 874 lactations. The average ranks ninth in the country for milk production, sixth for fat and fourth for protein and cheese yield. Martin Dairy is first for protein and fat and second for milk in the category for large herds with 300 or more records. The dairy’s owners, Norman and Chad Martin, made few changes in their operation this past year in spite of the economic crisis that plagued the dairy industry. “Whenever the price of feed goes up, the first response of many dairy producers is to cut down on feed,” noted Martin. “Our philosophy goes against that. The cow needs feed to support body function first and then production. Shortchanging feed is shortchanging opportunity to make a profit.” The self-proclaimed “recovering Holstein breeder” who now serves the Jersey business as an NAJ Director explained other ways in which his dairy weathered the storm of 2009. “We paid lots of our bills this year from cattle sales because we are fortunate to have a cull rate that hovers around 51%.” The genetic and production levels of the herd give the Martins opportunity to sell half of the culls for dairy purposes and establish a booming repeat business. Martin credits much of the success to use of AJCA programs, including REAP, JerseyMate and JerseyLink. “We have been breeding our cows day-in and day-out to the best JPI bulls in the breed since we started with Jerseys a dozen years ago,” Martin continued. “We study JerseyMate mating options for every single cow and heifer and pick one of the bulls that is recommended.” Martin Dairy has the highest JPI average of its peers with 300 or more cows with an average JPI of +60 on 931 head and ranks 23rd in the country among all herds. Every year, the dairy sends numerous bulls to A.I. Sexed semen, which is used for first services on heifers that are P7 and above, has also grown the herd internally and given the dairy opportunity to market dairy March 2010

culls, Martin noted. The heifer rate for the herd stands at 63%. “But it is the Jersey cow herself, with her advantages in reproductive efficiency and productive life, that has really allowed us to grow so many heifers,” summed Martin. Rounding out the top rankings for milk production is Domino Farms, Accord, N.Y., with an AJCA lactation average of 22,794 lbs. milk, 1,102 lbs. fat and 837 lbs. protein on 106 head. The herd owned by the DeWitt family is 10th for milk and
ninth for components. The Big Apple State’s leading herd made production gains of 1,307 lbs. milk, 116 lbs. fat and 45 lbs. protein over last year and is second for all production measures this year for herds with 80-149 cows.

Policy for Maximizing Profit with Jerseys
Adopted March 2007 by the American Jersey Cattle Association Board of Directors The American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) Board of Directors encourages its members to employ the following management practices to improve herd profitability: Maximize the genetic potential of the herd by • Using top ranking proven bulls on 60% to 75% of services. • Sampling a group of selected young bulls that qualify for the AJCA Young Sire Program and/or the Genetic Diversity Program for 25% to 40% of services. • Breeding heifers A.I. to proven or selected young bulls that qualify for the AJCA Young Sire Program and/ or the Genetic Diversity Program; if natural service for heifers is a management necessity, using bulls that qualify for those programs. • Maintaining accurate identification and breeding records. • Participating in AJCA performance and functional type appraisal programs that provide the basis for genetic evaluations. • Making mating assignments that maximize profit and minimize inbreeding. Challenge the genetic capacity of the herd by • Feeding ample quantities of properly balanced rations to milking cows. • Minimizing involuntary culling so that voluntary culling can be maximized. • Providing for the special nutritional and management needs of dry cows. • Having cows in proper body condition. • Providing special attention to calf raising practices to minimize losses and optimize growth. • Using new technologies that provide economical advantages in your situation. Exploit Jersey advantages by • Using tamper-evident ID and registering calves before they are six (6) month of age. • Freshening heifers under 24 months of age. • Becoming involved in milk marketing efforts that gain equitable payment for milk components. • Becoming involved in cattle marketing efforts that supplement herd income. • Using your herd and farm to project a positive image for the Jersey breed and the dairy industry.

National Dairy Shrine Award Applications Due
National Dairy Shrine is seeking nominations for its most prestigious awards: Guest of Honor, Pioneer, Distinguished Dairy Cattle Breeder, Progressive Dairy Producer and Graduate Production Award. The Guest of Honor is given to a contemporary dairy leader for outstanding accomplishments and contributions to the dairy industry. It has been awarded every year since 1949 when Dean H. Kildee was named the first Guest of Honor. Each year, three to four living or deceased Pioneers of the dairy industry are honored by National Dairy Shrine for their service and leadership in the dairy industry. The Distinguished Dairy Cattle Breeder is an award which recognizes active, progressive dairy producers who, through their expertise in managing a dairy breeding herd based upon sound genetics and business principles, serve as a model of success for their contemporaries throughout the country. All these award winners’ accomplishments are on permanent display in the Dairy Hall of Fame at the National Dairy Shrine Museum in Fort Atkinson, Wis. One of National Dairy Shrine’s newer awards, the Progressive Dairy Producer Award, is given to producers ages 21 to 45 who have introduced and applied effective management and business practices that help achieve more profitable dairy businesses. Two $2,000 awards for education and travel are given annually, one for herd sizes with 300 milk cows or less and a second for herds with over 300 milk cows. In 2009, Brian and Heidi Lantzky, Hawkeye, Iowa, and Richard and Jennifer Avila, Dalhart, Texas, were honored. The Graduate Dairy Production Award recognizes and assists qualified two-year and four-year agricultural college graduates efforts to pursue a career in commercial dairy farming and to gain ownership of dairy cattle with the intent of growing their dairy herd. The applicant must be employed in a herd management role on a commercial dairy when completing the award application. The winner will receive a $2,500 award from National Dairy Shrine. Nominations or applications must be submitted on official forms by March 15, 2010. Request applications from Dave Selner, Executive Director, P.O.

JerseyTags is one of the fastest growing programs offered by the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA), with doubledigit increases in orders every year since JerseyTags were first offered in November 2002. Today, one of every four Jersey females registered by the AJCA is permanently identified with JerseyTags. JerseyTags make it easy for Jersey breeders to permanently identify their calves and manage them throughout their lives. When it is time to identify who’s in heat, round up candidates for the vet check and record identification on test day, two large JerseyTags make quick work of accurately identifying the animal. In this month’s Jersey Jargon column, we’ll take a closer look at JerseyTags and give you some tips on what information you’ll need to gather before you sit down at the computer to register your calves, so the process is quick and error-free the first time.
breeder will select a new letter and start the process all over beginning with one. JerseyTags must be included in both ears. At a minimum, the tag will include the animal’s unique herd management number (up to five digits in length) along with its national identification (ID) number. Inventory vs. Custom Tags Jersey breeders can use either “inventory tags” or “custom tags” to permanently identify their animals. Inventory tags are pre-printed JerseyTags that Jersey producers order in quantity and have on hand to identify
or birth date. Because they are available only after registration, they are most useful for Jersey breeders who use them in combination with tattoos or register calves early enough to ensure they can be tagged before they leave their individual calf pens. For either inventory or custom tags, Jersey breeders can begin the herd management number with any number that suits their permanent identification program. For example, if you have been breeding Jerseys for many years and have an established numbering system, you can begin your JerseyTags with a number that fits your current program.
Tag Options JerseyTags are available in eight different colors and with three different size options for tag fronts (button, large and maxi) and two for tag backs (button and large). The five size combinations coupled with the wide range of colors makes it possible for Jersey producers to find a tag that is perfectly suited to their operation. Prices vary depending on size. Shipping is charged at a flat rate of $10 per order, so it is cost-effective to order an adequate supply.

Jersey Breeders Meet in North Carolina North Carolina Jersey breeders met on January 23, 2010, at the Agriculture Center in Statesville, N.C., for their annual meeting. Members were brought up to speed on industry happenings, attended to association business and honored adults and juniors for achievements in the past year. The keynote speaker was Matt Lange, with North Carolina’s “Dairy Advantage” initiative. Lange spoke about the program’s work to reverse the trend of reduced dairy farm numbers in the state. Dairy profit teams, modeled after those offered by Pennsylvania State University, work individually with dairy producers to provide the herd owner with an economic snapshot of the farm and strategies to meet goals five, 10 and 15 years down the road. The program also has a plan which encourages dairy producers from other states to relocate to North Carolina and one which helps existing dairies transition the farm to the next generation. Members also heard from Jersey junior, Shelby Jean Karriker, Mocksville, who was one of two youth selected to represent the state at the National 4-H Dairy Conference in 2009. She spoke on her experiences at the conference, which included several workshops, attending World Dairy Expo and tours of a dairy goat farm, the Hoard’s Dairyman farm and several milk processing facilities.

Technology Manager for the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA), relayed details about 2009, a record-setting year for the national Jersey organization, and cited the last 10 years as being the “Golden Decade of Jersey Expansion.” Another highlight of the year, noted Chamberlain, was the establishment of Jersey Youth Academy, with 36 young people attending the inaugural class in the summer of 2009. Chamberlain encouraged dairy producers to take advantage of two of the AJCA’s mating tools that are available around the clock on the internet: JerseyMate, free to REAP herds, and BullsEye, free for everyone. W. R. Lutz, Newton, received a special recognition for his years of outstanding service to the state Jersey organization. Lutz has been a member of the North Carolina Jersey Breeders Association for more than 50 years, sitting on the board each of those years, served as committee
chair for two national Jersey conventions and auctioned countless Jersey sales. Currently, he is compiling a historical account of Jerseys in North Carolina. Junior Awards Olivia Price Pearson, Lincolnton, earned the top spot in the 2009 North Carolina Pot of Gold Production Contest with her entry, Jacobs Funnyface Mecca. The Very Good-85% daughter of Sunset Canyon Mecca-ET, GJPI +84, produced a record with an m.e. of 27,288—1,028— 885 and a dollar value of $4,172.98 in her first lactation. Pearson took home a check in the amount of $1,499.04. “Funnyface” was consigned to the 2007 North Carolina Pot of Gold Sale by Jacob Stuart Karriker, Mocksville, N.C. Other juniors to place and earn cash prizes were Mandy Nicole Lutz, Lincolnton, second ($749.52); Cameron (continued to page 40)

JERSEY JOURNAL
EXECUTIVE SECRETARY COMMENTS
President and Director Elections For 2010
O
ur organizations have two tremendous assets. The first is the image of the Jersey cow as a profitable producer that also has the longest productive life in the business today. The second is the reputation our organizations have. As I travel the country, I hear over and over, “Jersey has great programs. Jersey has the best customer s e r v i c e . We r e a l ly e n j oy working with the Jersey association.” Building on these assets is the role of Neal Smith your elected Executive Secretary leadership, the people who serve as Directors and Presidents of the American Jersey Cattle Association and National All-Jersey Inc. Perhaps you, or a person you know, should become a candidate for one of these positions. Governace Structure The American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) and National All-Jersey Inc. (NAJ) are each governed by a Board of Directors. The AJCA Board consists of a President and 12 Directors. The responsibilities of the Board include establishing Association policies and programs, setting fees, authorizing expenditures, hiring the Executive Secretary and Treasurer, and being responsible for the overall wellbeing of the Association. The active members of the Association elect the President and Directors. A member is considered active when he or she has registered or had transferred to his or her ownership a Jersey animal within the past two (2) years. The NAJ Board is composed of 11 Directors. Five Directors are elected by the voting members in the District they represent, three Directors are appointed by the AJCA Board, and there are three exofficio Directors. The ex-officio Directors are the AJCA President and chairs of the AJCA Finance and Development committees. The President is elected from the Board by the Directors. The responsibilities of the NAJ Board are Page 42
similar to the AJCA Board.
and NAJ business every year.
Qualifications What are the qualifications to be President or a Director and what are the nomination and election procedures? The AJCA Constitution states, “Each Director including the President shall be an active member of the Association who is actively engaged in ownership or management of a recognizable Jersey herd.” In addition, each Director must be a resident of the District from which elected. The NAJ Constitution states that Directors shall be “members of the American Jersey Cattle Association and who are producer or honorary members of National All-Jersey Inc. . . .” The elected NAJ Directors must reside in the District they represent. In addition to constitutional qualifications, the following are other qualities and considerations for potential President and Director candidates. Leadership. The Presidents and Directors are the elected leaders of the Jersey organizations. Financial Responsibility. The AJCA Board of Directors manages an annual budget of about $2.75 million. The NAJ Board manages an annual operating budget of approximately 1.2 million and cattle sales of $12 million. Combined net assets of the organizations is $3 million. The Boards determine the fees for their respective organizations’ services and how all funds will be used. All programs for the improvement and expansion of the breed depend upon the financial wellbeing of each organization. The Presidents and Directors should be good money managers.
Responsiveness. The Presidents and Directors must be willing to listen to the concerns of every breeder of Jersey cattle and producer of Jersey milk, then faithfully pass those concerns on to the Boards and management.
Time. The Presidents and Directors soon discover that their responsibilities take more time than they had originally anticipated. The Boards have regular sessions in March, June, and November of each year. The Presidents and Directors will attend state and regional meetings and sales, and represent their organizations at other dairy functions. The Presidents and Directors must be willing to spend much time reading and studying various materials and talking with fellow members and others in the dairy industry in order to make informed and intelligent decisions. They spend weeks—not days—on AJCA
National Perspective. Even though a Director is nominated from a particular area or District of the country, they need to be mindful that actions must be made in the best interests of the entire Jersey membership, not just the interests of their particular District. Professionalism. Not all suggestions the Presidents and Directors hear are in the best interest of the Jersey organizations. The Presidents and Directors must sort through the facts and fallacies in all arguments. They must reach a decision, then be able to defend it. If they disagree with the majority vote of the Board, they must be able to abide by and support the decisions of the majority. Loyalty. The Presidents and Directors are ambassadors for the Jersey breed. They need to present a positive image of the Jersey breed, the owners of Jersey cattle, and the organizations. AJCA Nominations A person meeting the constitutional qualifications can be nominated for either AJCA President or Director. Nominations for President must be made by petition signed by any 30 active members of the Association. Nominations for Director must be made by petition signed by 20 active members residing in the District for which the person seeks to serve as Director. Petitions can be obtained by writing or calling the Executive Secretary. The petitions must be received by the Executive Secretary no later than 65 days in advance of the Annual Meeting. The 2010 Annual Meeting will be held on Saturday, June 26. Therefore, nominating petitions for this year’s election for President or Director must be received by the Executive Secretary on or before April 21, 2010. Terms and Voting. The President is elected for a one-year term at each Annual Meeting. There is no limit on the number of terms a President may serve. JERSEY JOURNAL
Four Directors are elected at each Annual Meeting for a term of three years. A Director can serve two consecutive terms. A former Director is then eligible to serve another term one year after completion of two consecutive terms. If appointed or elected to fill an unexpired Director term, the person shall be eligible for election to serve two, three-year terms after service for the unexpired term is completed. Voting for President and Directors is by ballot only. All active members of the AJCA, 50 days prior to the Annual Meeting, are eligible to vote. They receive a ballot by mail. The candidate for each position receiving the plurality of votes is elected. Director Districts. The United States is divided into 12 Districts. The District boundaries are drawn in geographic regions to provide equal representation based on number of members and participation in AJCA programs. The twelve Districts are: First District: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont Second District: New York Third District: New Jersey, Pennsylvania Fourth District: Ohio Fifth District: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee Sixth District: Delaware, District of Columbia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia Seventh District: Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan Eighth District: Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas Ninth District: Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota Tenth District: Wisconsin Eleventh District: Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wyoming Twelfth District: California, Hawaii, and Nevada Director terms expire by District as follows: 2010 Fourth, Fifth, Tenth, and Eleventh Districts 2011 Second, Seventh, Ninth, and Twelfth Districts 2012 First, Third, Sixth, and Eighth Districts March 2010
2010 AJCA Elections At the 2010 Annual Meeting, elections will be held for President and four Directors. Current President David Chamberlain’s one-year term expires at the next Annual Meeting and he will seek re-election. The Directors whose terms expire at the 2010 Annual Meeting are: William Grammer, Sebring, Ohio, Fourth District; Charles Steer, Cottage Grove, Tenn., Fifth District; Chris Sorenson, Pine River, Wis., Tenth District; and Paula Wolf, Beaver, Ore., Eleventh District. Wolf has served two, full consecutive terms and therefore is not eligible to seek re-election. Grammer, Steer and Sorenson have not served two consecutive full terms and therefore are eligible to seek re-election. The following summarizes the 2010 AJCA elections: • Election for the President; • Director from the Fourth District be elected for a three-year term. The current Director is eligible to serve another term; • Director from the Fifth District be elected for a three-year term. The current Director is eligible to serve another term; • Director from Tenth District be elected for a three-year term. The current Director is eligible to serve another term; • Director from Eleventh District be elected for a three-year term. The current Director is not eligible to serve another term. NAJ Director Nominations A person meeting the constitutional qualifications can be nominated for one of the five elected NAJ Directors. Nominations for Director must be made by petition signed by 10 voting members residing in the District for which the person seeks to serve as Director. Petitions can be obtained by writing or calling the Executive Secretary. The petitions must be received by the Executive Secretary no later than 60 days in advance of the Annual Meeting. The 2010 Annual Meeting will be held on Friday, June 25. Therefore, nominating petitions for next year’s election for President or Director must be received by the Executive Secretary on or before April 25, 2010. Terms and Voting. Directors are elected
or appointed at the Annual Meeting for a term of four years. There are no term limits. Voting for the elected Directors is by ballot only. All eligible members of NAJ residing in the District for which a Director election is being held, 60 days prior to the Annual Meeting, are eligible to vote. They receive a ballot by mail. The candidate for each position receiving the plurality of votes is elected. The three Directors appointed by the AJCA Board are appointed for a term of four years. The ex-officio members’ terms on the NAJ Board coincide with their AJCA positions. Director Districts. For the elected Director positions, the United States is divided into five Districts. The District boundaries are drawn in geographic regions based on revenue. District lines are drawn to keep all Districts with close to the same amount of revenue. The five Districts are: District 1: Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Wyoming District 2: California, Hawaii District 3: Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont District 4: Arkansas, Iowa, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Wisconsin District 5: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia 2010 NAJ Elections At the 2010 NAJ Annual Meeting, one Director, with a four-year term, will be elected. The elected Director whose term expires is David Endres, Lodi, Wis., District 4. He is eligible to succeed himself. If you have questions regarding the election of the AJCA and NAJ Boards, please do not hesitate to contact me. We encourage all AJCA and NAJ active members to consider seeking these positions. The Jersey organizations have been blessed with outstanding leadership. For that tradition to continue, we need willing and qualified candidates to serve. Page 43

PERFORMANCE REPORT Top 25 Records in History and National Class Leader List The Top 25 Records for Milk, Protein and Fat completed in the history of AJCA production testing programs are listed below. The National Class Leader List summarizes the 10 highest lactations for milk, protein, fat, and cheese yield in nine age categories. Lactations are 305 days (or less) in length and are official on the AJCA records. These lists include lactations added to the database through December 31, 2009. Effective January 1, 2007, to qualify
for these lists, all test days included in a completed 305- or 365day lactation record must occur in a herd or herds enrolled in the Production Records Plus, TPE-Plus, or REAP Plus programs. An asterisk in the column after days milked indicates that the animal was milked more than twice daily during part or all of the lactation. A “V” following the record indicates that it has been verified.

JERSEY JOURNAL
Jersey Breeder Helps Raise Consumer Awareness Every year millions of consumers across the country enter contests and sweepstakes that have promised prizes to make life easier or more glamorous. If they are not contacted with the elusive giant check or other large prize, their interest is immediately lost and they move on to the next offer. However, this may not be the case for the more than 590,000 consumers hoping to win a year’s worth of free groceries from FarmersFeedUS.org. Bill Grammer of Sebring, Ohio is part of the effort to not only help feed a lucky consumer, but to help educate all participants about the dairy industry. For the past 20 years, Bill and his family have been managing their 700-head Jersey operation in the Northeast corner of the state. He is featured on the Farmers Feed US website in a short video explaining the milking process on his farm and what happens to the milk after it leaves. Bill also addresses the ongoing concerns of U.S. consumers as he talks about how they care for the animals, making sure they have a dry, comfortable bed and a well-balanced diet. Bill is currently the District 4 Director for the American Jersey Cattle Association.
Page 58
The website features several videos and information on a variety of farm families in the five chosen states, giving consumers a chance to learn about beef cattle, eggs, hogs, sheep, soybeans, turkeys, apples, corn, vegetables and fish. So far, 37,790 consumers have chosen to “opt-in” and continue to learn more about farms in their home state. FarmersFeedUS.org is a project of The Center for Food Integrity, a not-for-profit corporation established to build consumer trust in the U.S. food system. People in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Missouri and Iowa have all entered to win grand prizes totaling $5,000 in grocery gift cards from farmers in their state, as one person from each state will be selected to win. But the impact of this program could be much greater than filling the refrigerator of a few lucky winners. In Ohio, there were 207,143 registrations during the 90-day sweepstakes — and 11,106 of those who entered chose to “opt-in,” giving them a chance to receive future information from their state’s farmers. That’s 11,106 people that will be receiving newsletters, recipes, updates, and most important, a chance to learn from and be involved with the farmers in their state. (continued to next page)
JERSEY JOURNAL
“We’re exceptionally pleased with the response to the sweepstakes and consumer interest in learning more about the farmers in their states,” said Terry Fleck, executive director of the Center for Food Integrity. “It shows that consumers are supportive of the hard working men and women who produce their food, and would like to understand more.” Indiana, Missouri and Iowa residents still have until April 10, 2010, to enter for a chance to win big from their local farmers — but the FarmersFeedUS.org site will continue to be a great resource for those looking to learn more about how their food is produced long after the completion of the 90-day sweepstakes.

PERFORMANCE REPORT
High Herds Ranked By JPI Average The top 25% of U.S. Jersey herds ranked by the average Jersey Performance IndexTM (JPI) of the cows in the herd are listed below. This list includes qualifying herds with an average JPI of +25 or greater. Herds must be enrolled in official AJCA performance programs to be included in the ranking and have at least 10 Registered Jerseys with Jersey Performance Indexes. For a cow to be included in a herd’s average, she must have calved after November 24, 2009, and have a January 2010 JPI. In the case of ties, the herd ranked higher for PTA Protein (PTAP) is listed first. Any herds that remain tied are then listed in order of herd average for Cheese Merit Dollars (CM$). There are 192 herds listed with an average JPI of +42. For the second consecutive summary, Gerald Laufenberg, Mount Horeb, Wis., tops the list with his 12 cow herd and an average JPI of +117.

Charlene (Johnson) Nardone passed away on February 11, 2010, at the age of 84. That night I called 25 former presidents, directors and close friends. The first man I called, a former director and president, labeled Charlene as a Saint. The next man, with the same credentials, felt she did more for public relations for Jersey owners than anyone in history. Equally favorable comments were made by nearly every individual I called. She graduated from Greenfield High School in 1943 and took a job with the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA), back then known as a Club, to work the summer and save money for college. She liked the work and it was the beginning of a 46½ year career with Jersey. During her career with Jersey, Charlene served nearly 25 years as a switchboard operator. Nearly every Jersey breeder in the U.S. and several foreign countries knew her charming voice and welcome. She served as a secretary for Executive Secretaries James Cavanaugh and me. She was attractive, very talented and extremely capable in handling additional work and responsibility. From the very beginning she handled the National Jersey Jug Futurity and the National Queen Contest. She even served as the first Queen. Because of her efforts, the Jug has been accurately labeled the largest and most successful among the dairy breeds. The Queen contest grew from 3-5 contestants in jeans to 15-20 contestants in formal gowns. I was the fortunate one. I had the opportunity to work with Charlene for 47 years with the AJCA and another seven years with National Dairy Shrine. We (continued to next page)

In Memoriam Craig D. Johnson Craig D. Johnson, Seymour, Ind., 62, passed away on January 30, 2010, after a brief, 24-hour illness. He was born on June 1, 1947, in Freeport, Ill., to the late Melvin and Audrey George Johnson. He served his country in the U.S. Army in Vietnam and married Vicki Duncan in 1974. Johnson had a lifetime calling to work with dairy cattle and was a highly-regarded professional dairy cattle photographer. He worked for Agri-Graphics for 22 years beginning in 1980. During his tenure with Agri-Graphics, he photographed more than 25,000 head at locations primarily in the Midwest and Mid-South. He was the official photographer of The All American Jersey Sale for many years and worked on special projects for the American Jersey Cattle Association, including several photos that were used on covers of the Jersey Journal. He participated in industry ethics meetings advocating truth in photography. Johnson struck out on his own to photograph cattle in 2002 and recently retired from the business to spend more time with his wife and daughter, Beth. A favorite of the family was antiquing, and Johnson enjoyed exhibiting his antique churns at the local county fair. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church in Seymour and past director of the Indiana State Holstein Association. In addition to his wife of 36 years and daughter and son-in-law, Tommy Mosser, he is survived by a grandson, Mason Moser, and a brother, Larry (Sharon) Johnson. Memorials may be made to Schneck Medical Center Foundation or the National Dairy Shrine Scholarship Fund.

In Memoriam M. Charlene Nardone M. Charlene Nardone, Orient, Ohio, 84, passed away on February 11, 2010, after a short battle with pneumonia. The nearly five decade employee of the Jersey organizations was born August 27, 1925, in Greenfield, Ohio, to Benjamin and Almira Johnson. She graduated from Greenf ield High School in 1943 and began working immediately for the A m e r i c a n J e r s ey Cattle Club. Over Nardone the next 47 years, Charlene would become known as the “Voice of Everything Jersey.” She served the organization in nearly every department and was administrative assistant to two Executive Secretaries: J. F. Cavanaugh and Maurice Core. She was charged early in her career with making the National Jersey Jug Futurity a reality. To date, more than 38,000 calves have been nominated and over 3,000 have made it to the show ring to compete for more than $382,000 in prize money in what is arguably the most prestigious Jersey show in the world. Charlene had the distinctive honor of being named the first National Jersey Jug Queen and today the tiara presented to the National Queen is named the Charlene Nardone Tiara for her tireless efforts.
Page 80
In 2003, Nardone was awarded the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) and National All-Jersey Inc. (NAJ) Award for Meritorious Service. After her retirement from the AJCA, Charlene worked with National Dairy Shrine until 2004. Charlene loved the outdoors and the wide-open spaces of her Orient home, gardening, and volunteering for Meals on Wheels and Mt. Carmel Medical Center. She was a long time member of the First Presbyterian Church of Grove City, having served on many of its councils, and sang in the choir. She was an avid Ohio State football fan and reader of books on tape. She was preceded in death by her husband of 52 years, David, in 2008, and her sister Alice in 2006. She is survived by her step-son, David Anthony (Mary Ellen), their daughters, Molly (Brian) Bradley, Erin (Erik) Stone, and Megan Nardone, all of Oregon; sister-in-law, Geraldine Nardone of Grandview Heights; and many nieces and nephews. Contributions on behalf of Charlene can be made to the Women’s Association of the First Presbyterian Church of Grove City, 4227 Broadway, Grove City, OH 43123; or to the National Jersey Queen Development Fund, 6486 E. Main St., Reynoldsburg, OH, 43068.
Donald H. McCaig Donald H. “Don” McCaig, Huntingdon, Que., 82, passed away on December 27, 2009. McCaig was recognized in dairy cir-
cles across the globe for his work with the Brampton Jersey herd and his own Norval Acres Jersey herd and as a seasoned and highly-sought dairy cattle judge. He graduated from MacDonald College in 1946 and then became an A.I. technician. He was hired by the Canadian Jersey Cattle Club (now Jersey Canada) in 1949 as a classifier and the fieldman for eastern Canada. Four years later he joined the world-famous Brampton Jersey operation of B. H. Bull and Son in Brampton, Ont. While at Brampton, McCaig and his family established Norval Acres Jerseys in nearby Norval, Ont., in 1963. The family moved the Norval Acres Jerseys herd to Don’s native Quebec in 1970. In the course of four decades, Norval Acres Jerseys became one of Canada’s mostadmired Jersey herds and was known for breeding Jerseys that were top producers that could compete successfully in the show ring as well. Among the standouts was Norval Acres Jester’s Maid, who was named Grand Champion of the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in 1977 and produced more than 19,000 lbs. milk as a mature cow. More recently, in January 2010, Norval Acres Vision Donna, bred by the McCaigs and now owned by Glenhagen Jerseys of Thorsby, Alberta, became the breed’s first 15th generation Excellent when she was appraised Excellent. The Norval Acres herd was dispersed in May 2005, with 61 buyers taking home the 130 lots for an average of $3,146. McCaig sat on the board of Jersey Canada from 1982-1999 and served the organization as president in 1988. He also was president of Jersey Quebec in 1975 and was a co-chair of the World Jersey Cattle Bureau Conference in 1982. D. H. McCaig and Son were named Master Breeder by Jersey Canada in 1980 and Don McCaig earned the organization’s highest distinction, the Distinguished Service Award, in 1993. McCaig was honored by the government of Quebec for agriculture leadership in 1985 and received a medal from the Governor General of Canada for service to country and community during ceremonies to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the Confederation of Canada in 1992. He is survived by his wife of 62 years, Dorothy “Dot” McCaig; three children, Murray (Marilyn Honderich) of Huntingdon, Susan (Gord) Chisholm, Daleholm Jerseys and Ayrshires, Howick, Que., and Heather (Don) Rennie of Brockville, Ont.; 11 grandchildren; and many greatgrandchildren.
