The Jersey Journal assumes no liability for errors or omissions. The Jersey Journal does not guarantee quality, delivery time, or availability of items ordered from commercial advertisers.

The American Jersey Cattle Association promotes the use of authentic and unaltered photographic images of Jersey animals, and disapproves of the use of any photographic images that alter the body of the Jersey animal. The American Jersey Cattle Association therefore requests that all photographic images of Jersey animals submitted for publication in the Jersey Journal contain no alterations to the body of the animal. Despite its best efforts to ensure that only unaltered photographs of Jersey animals are used in this publication, the American Jersey Cattle Association cannot guarantee that every photographic image of a Jersey animal is authentic and unaltered.

Two Jersey Dairies Named Best Cheesemakers
State Page Rebate Checks Distributed
A recent issue of Food & Wine magazine named two Connecticut Jersey breeders as being in the top 50 in country for cheesemaking. Arethusa Farm Dairy, which was sold in 2021, was based in Bantam, Conn. Cato Corner Farm, Colchester, Conn., was also on the list and is a Queen of Quality producer. Arethusa was commended for their long-standing tradition of producing top-quality, old-fashioned dairy products, and the same author named their ice cream as the best in Connecticut in July 2021. Cato Corner Farm was applauded for their mother-son duo Liz MacAlister and Mark Gillman, and their happy herd of Jersey cows. They began producing cheese in the 1990s and have since developed multiple types in their line-up, many being featured in local shops, specialty stores, farmers’ markets, and restaurants across the state. They also operate a farm shop year-round that includes products from local artisans.
This year, more than $6,800 in rebates was dispersed to state Jersey associations and individual breeders for participation in the Jersey Journal’s state-page advertising program. Four states qualified for rebates in 2021. Leading the way are the Oregon Jersey breeders, who earned $1,547.53 for placing more than 28 pages of advertising. They were followed by the New York Jersey breeders receiving a check for $1,113.70 for more than 20 pages of advertising. Two more associations earning a rebate were: Iowa Jersey breeders with a check for $716.88; and the Ohio Jersey breeders earning a check for $714.10. Select Sires Inc., Plain City, Ohio, met the 18-page rebate requirement for individual advertisers and will recieve a check for $1,657.20. Jersey Marketing Service, Reynoldsburg, Ohio, also met the requirement and will receive a check for $1,063.75. To learn more about how your state association can become eligible for the state-page advertising rebate program, contact the Jersey Journal at 614/3224451.

A Showcase of Everything Jersey The All American Jersey events. Three days in November where everything revolves around the Jersey breed. It has been said many times “The All American has no peer. No other breed association concentrates as much effort on one promotional event as the American Jersey Cattle Association.” We also cannot to forget the multitudes of Jersey enthusiasts that have generously donated their time, ideas, energy and yes, dollars to ensure that The All American is a one-of-akind event. What makes it so special? Perhaps it is the feeling that everyone feels he or she is a part of the show. The exhibitor is excited for the competition. The spectator appreciates the beauty of it all. Jersey youth, our future, are inspired to achieve great things. Consignors smile with the success of their genetics. And each year, familiar faces are found throughout the barns and watching from the stands, making all the new faces feel welcome. The All American is perhaps the most powerful promotional event of the year for the breed. The world watches as three shows and two sales unfold through live-streaming video, social media posts and then the January Jersey Journal. As you flip through the pages of this magazine, you will read about the success of breeders from both the sale ring and show ring. The USJersey organizations want to send a personal thank you to the following people that gave their time and support to the 2021 All American events: • The 118 members of the All American committees who planned and help make the events reality; • The consignors of the 64 lots in the All American Jersey Sale, who continue to provide the largest source of financial support to the All American; • The consignors of the 26 heifers in the Pot O’Gold Sale which has grown to be an excellent way for youth to begin a strong foundation for their future; • Land O’Lakes Animal Milk Solutions for their continued
support of the All American youth activities and the Pot O’Gold Sale, AllFlex/Merck for their financial support of the Youth Awards Ceremony, and Tillamook County Creamery for their continued support to the Premier Performance contest and the open and junior shows; • The 163 Jersey youth (and their parents) that exhibited 247 head in the Junior show; • The breeders and exhibitors from all parts of North America that exhibited 421 cows and heifers in The All American Jersey Show, making it the largest show since 1999; • The owners of 22 three-year-olds shown in the National Jersey Jug Futurity; • The sponsors of class and individual awards for all three shows; • NAILE and its staff for their professional and competent leadership with making the weekend run as smoothly as possible; • The judges for the National Jersey Queen contest and showmanship contests. Your guidance in working with the outstanding youth is greatly appreciated; • Louie Cozzitorto, Jennifer Thomas, Brady Core, Robert Teixeira, Ted DeMent and Trent Kilgus—this year’s judges—thank you for your professionalism in the ring; • And last, but not least to the USJersey staff for your unwavering support in working with the committees, exhibitors, consignors and youth in planning and staging of this great Jersey event.
A Special Thank You The staff of USJersey would like to extend a very special thank you to Post Printing, Minister, Ohio. Since 1988, the printing company has been an integral part of sharing the Jersey word through high-quality printing work. While the monthly magazine is changing its course, our staff will still work with Post Printing for many other projects throughout the year. We thank you Post Printing for your friendship and service.

JOURNAL HISTORY
As Always, the Voice of the Jersey Breed
J
anuary 2022 marks the last time the Jersey breed’s official publication, Jersey Journal, will be published as a monthly printed document. Far from an epilogue, the magazine and its publisher, the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA), are writing a new chapter. From February 2022 forward, Jersey news will be brought to folks electronically in a more contemporary, timely manner. Though the decision to discontinue the print edition was a difficult one for the AJCA Board of Directors, it was not unforeseen. Over the past decade, print publications like Jersey Journal have transitioned to digital or died altogether as printing and postage costs rise, technology advances and consumers demand greener products. For Jersey breeders, their beloved magazine will carry on because its purpose carries on. As a communications and marketing vehicle, the need for Jersey Journal is as great today as when the first issue rolled off the presses in October 1953. Consider the words of Frank B. Astroth, president of the American Jersey Cattle Club (AJCC), in the premier issue: “We own a magazine. Those of us who milk Jerseys for a living, and no one else, own this magazine. . .The purpose of the
JERSEY JOURNAL will be to give better news coverage, more helpful articles to breeders, lower rates to advertisers, larger circulation, and more promotion to the Jersey cow.” These words could be published verbatim today. But the world looks very different than it did back then, when Americans drove the Buick Roadmaster and watched Leave it to Beaver on black and white televisions. Today our world looks more like The Jetsons and life without computers and cell phones is unimaginable. Technology has not only changed the way we live, but our ability to deliver news as well. Information can be broadcast to readers across the globe in moments, relatively inexpensively, in a variety of formats, including video and audio. Analytics allows Jersey Journal to analyze statistics to determine what content is of interest to readers and tailor messages to specific audiences. It allows Jersey Journal to report news in a manner that does not destroy a tree in the process and uses less fossil fuels for delivery. It allows readers to digest content anytime, anywhere there is service and connect with people in ways that were impossible decades ago. With the last print issue, it is fitting to look at some of the milestones in Journal
history. The act celebrates what we have accomplished and reminds us that decisions and opportunities often are shaped by what happens to and around us. Change is a means of adapting, even in Jersey circles. Over the past 67 years, other changes have come to Jersey Journal, most largely unnoticed by readers. Mastheads change, nameplates change, staff come and go. In the next six decades, other changes are sure to follow. This pivot to digital will likely be but a footnote in the magazine’s story. For now, let us use the opportunity technology provides to continue telling the Jersey story across the globe, just in a different way. Timeline of Milestones and Parade of Covers October 5, 1953: Inaugural issue. Published by Greenfield Printing and Publishing Co., in Greenfield, Ohio, as bi-monthly magazine on the 5th and 20th of each month.

American of each young cow class reentered the ring to compete for Intermediate Champion. Among these young cows were the National Jersey Jug Futurity winner and reserve winner which Judge DeMent got to evaluate for the first time. The futurity winner, Homeridge T Annette, clearly caught Judge DeMent’s attention as he named her Intermediate Champion of the All American Jersey show. “We didn’t get to see that Jug cow in class, but she floors you with that height and width of rear udder and that’s what gets it for us today,” said DeMent in his reasons. “What a beautiful frame as well as these other two but again just that height and width she’s got over the junior three.” “Annette” was exhibited by Kylie and Dawson Nickels, Travis Freson, Mandy Sell, and Scott Stanford of Watertown, Wis. She received the Phil and Marty Gordon and Family Trophy for her win. Judge DeMent went on to congratulate the Reserve Intermediate Champion, the All American Junior-three-year-old, Milk & Honey Vaden Fern-ET. “A beautiful well-balanced cow. We think this is the cow of the future when she develops,” said DeMent about his winning junior three-year-old. “What an awesome, refined cow.” “Fern” was exhibited by Vierra Dairy Farms, Hilmar, Calif., and received the Donald and Joyce Smith Family Memorial Trophy, presented by Delaine Smith. Named Honorable Mention Intermediate Champion was Summer Breeze Tequila Gayle, also exhibited by Vierra Dairy Farms. “For senior champion it’s this cheese yield cow, just the incredible power, depth, and openness that she has she just overpowers the rest out here that we have,” said DeMent when selecting “Dream.” “We are taking nothing away from the JANUARY 2022

other cows out here.” Those are the words that Hirds Colton Dream began her champion drive with. The trophy for Senior Champion was presented by Hawk Pond Jerseys, Elkland, Mo., in memory of Hunter Squires. The Reserve Senior Champion title went to the All American Aged Cow, Krohlow Comerica Anna, exhibited by John Vosters and James J. Ostrom of Kaukauna, Wisconsin. “We felt like this first place aged cow followed her quite nicely and we just love the dairy quality of this cow,” described DeMent. “She’s got the beautiful height and width of her udder and she’s had several calves and she’s going to see several more, I’m sure. But a beautiful pair for Senior and Reserve Senior Champion.” “Anna” received the trophy presented by Dusty and Nicole Schirm, Ashville, Ohio, representing The Franchise Kind. “The Honorable Mention will be this incredible uddered four-year-old. She maybe doesn’t walk quite as nice on the rear legs as the others, but has an awesome udder on her,” said DeMent about Sugar Brook Bartender Bridgett. She was exhibited by Underground Genetics and Adam Clark, Pitcher, N.Y. Junior Champions “We just love these five heifers out here,” said DeMent. “Again, we just think they’ve got the balance and everything that it takes to make a great cow someday.” Judges DeMent and Kilgus selected the winning All American Fall Calf for Junior Champion—Rivendale Joel Keep Her Secret-ET. She was exhibited by Michael Heath, Mark Iager, and Will Iager, Westminster, Md. They were awarded the Tennessee Jersey Cattle Club trophy for exhibiting the Junior Champion. “This heifer just spells balance. We fell

in love with her style, her balance. And she has strength to go with it, open rib and love her feet and legs as well, that’s what gave her the edge today.” The Reserve Junior Champion took home the trophy sponsored by Rider Jersey Farm, Upton, Ky. She was the All American Spring Yearling, Four-Hills Joel Badger 67489-ET and exhibited by Peter Vail and Budjon Farms, Lomira, Wis. “I think our reserve champion fits in very nicely behind our winner,” continued DeMent. “She’s got a little more width and substance than the second-place fall calf which we made the honorable mention.” Honorable Mention went to the Reserve All American Fall Calf, SV Tequila Topsy Tango. She was exhibited by Vierra Dairy Farms, Hilmar, Calif. DeMent continued, “I love the length and the style on the second-place fall calf, and she makes a beautiful honorable mention.” Supreme Champion This was the 14 th year that NAILE held a Supreme Champion class.

“The second-place heifer is such a stylish heifer when she walks into the ring and just jumps right out at you. She’s clean and angular, she’s sharp.

Vail and Budjon Farms. Ravineside Venetian Gypsy was the Reserve All American. “The heifer in second follows her very nicely. There’s a lot of things you like about this heifer,” said DeMent. “We just like the width and the strength and she is probably one of the better legged heifers in the class when you get behind them. As well, she’s just a little nicer in that tailhead setting today, sets that tail down a little nicer than the short-aged heifer that’s coming out in third.” “Gypsy” is owned by Lauren E Reed, Columbia Cross Roads, Pa. The short-aged heifer from New Albany, Pa., placed third in the spring yearling heifer class. She was Bolle-Acres Gentry Fashion, owned by Blaine Warburton. “She is one of the youngest heifers in the class. A real stylish heifer and she’s just got a little more drop to her rib, little more dairyness than the heifer coming out in fourth.”
DeMent and Kilgus saw a bright future in “Chevelle.” Judge DeMent said, “The heifer in second, a heifer with lots of power and width. Love the feet and legs on this heifer, she’s one of those heifers that has all the right things to make a great cow. I’ll be shocked if she’s not a great cow someday, but she’s more level in the hips and pins for me today than the heifer that’s coming out in third.” HC-Rader Gentry Saba came in a close third place and took best bred and owned honors. “The third-place heifer, close placing between second and third, but the third-place heifer gets a little high in the pins at times but tremendous style heifer. She has the advantage on the way she tracks on her rear legs today over the heifer that’s coming out in fourth.” She was exhibited by Shelby Rader, Linesville, Pa.

Schulte Bros Colton Fabulous-ET came away with All American Summer Yearling Heifer honors. She was exhibited by Peter Vail and Budjon Farms of Lomira Wis. Following her was the Reserve All American and best bred and owned, Lehearth Tequila Dior exhibited by Nolan Lee Kummer, Evans City, Pa. “These two on top sorted themselves out,” said DeMent. “It was an extremely close placing for us today. The first-place heifer out on the move just kind of grabs you. She’s just a little cleaner in the hock today than the second-place heifer. The second-place heifer is a little stronger in the loin and a little more level from hips to pins today, so this is what makes it extremely close on a tremendous pair of heifers.” Taking third was Cooper Farm N Penny exhibited by Evan T Cooper, New Braintree, Mass.

The All American Spring Yearling Heifer was Four- Hills Joel Badger 67489ET. She seemed to be a handy winner as Judge DeMent started his reasons, “The heifer we started the class with we felt just really sorted herself up there nicely. The heifer is longer and leaner in her head and neck today than the heifer in second. She’s got a bit more style and is cleaner in the front end today.” She is owned by Peter Page 44

Milking classes “In this milking yearling class, the pair of cows we started with are different types of cows but we started with the best uddered cow in the class,” said Judge DeMent. Du Sillon Premier Krunchie-ET received the Henry P. Knolle Family Trophy for being named the All American Milking Yearling. “She just carries that rear udder higher. She got a bit more crease down the back of her udder and on the bottom of her udder as well. She is a bit nicer in the teat size and shape as well, than the beautiful framed cow in second.” Misty Meadow (continued to page 46)

Dairy, Tillamook, Oregon, exhibited “Krunchie.” The Reserve All American Milking Yearling was Arethusa Andreas SunlightET. She was exhibited by Vierra Dairy Farms. “It’s that frame and that dairyness she has that puts her over a recently fresh cow that’s in third.” Arethusa Gentry Verbena proved to be the problem cow of the class expressed in Judge DeMent’s reasons, “Third place cow, kind of a problem cow for us maybe again just a little bit more milk in that fore udder than you’d like for right now with her being just fresh. But a tremendous balanced cow. Give her another month and she’d probably win the class today.” “Verbena” is owned by Brent Rocha and Mike Podshadly, Tillamook, Ore. Milking yearling (27 shown) 1.

It was the inaugural year for the Summer Junior Two-Year-Old class at the All American Jersey Show. “There are real dairy cows at the top of this class,” said DeMent. “We felt these four went together very well.” Kevetta Colton Delilah led the class as the All American Summer Junior TwoYear-Old and best udder of the class. “Delilah” is owned by Vierra Dairy Farms. DeMent continued, “The first-place cow is a bit more youthful in the udder and is the best uddered cow in the class today. She just wears that udder a little bit higher above the hock today than the second-place cow.” The Reserve All American was KCJF Colton Shakira, owned by Keightley and Core, Jackson Powers, and Frank and Diane Borba, Salvisa, Ky. “Shakira” was also best bred and owned in the class. “Our second place cow has a tremendous high wide rear udder, and an exceptional crease in that udder,” explained DeMent. “We just love the dairy quality of this cow. It’s her rump structure that puts her over the cow in third.” Third place was Cowbell Casino Dorsay, owned by Chase Rozler of Cowbell Acres, Canton, N.Y. Judge DeMent appreciated her mammary system in his reasons, “The third-place cow was second best udder in the JERSEY JOURNAL

“To start this class, we had three cows we felt could all be contenders to win. All are somewhat different in their make up,” said DeMent. Rivendale VIP Eloise took All American Junior Two-Year-Old and best udder accolades. She was exhibited by Vierra Dairy Farms. “The first cow has exceptional feet and legs,” he continued. “We love the length from end-to-end and she is such a youthful cow. She carries that udder way up above the hock and has that advantage today over the cow in second.” Reserve All American honors went to Whitdale Gentry Graceful-ET, owned by the partnership of Peter Vail and Budjon Farms. She used her levelness of udder floor and more level slope from hips to pins to gain the edge over a close third place. Third place also went to a cow owned by Budjon and Vail— Big Guns Andreas Velvet-ET. Junior two-year-old cow (18 shown) Class sponsored by Mayfield Farm & Nursery, Athens, Tenn. 1.

Rivendale VIP Faye-ET earned the All American Senior Two-Year-Old title, as well as best udder in class. “The first-place cow just overwhelms you with the height and width of rear udder today and that’s what puts her over the cow in second,” explained Judge DeMent. “She’s got a lot of power and strength and width to her as well that is the advantage today and the teat set just a bit nicer today than the cow in second.” “Faye” is owned by Keightley-Core and Borba, Salvisa, Ky.

The All American Junior Three-YearOld honor was given to Milk & Honey Vaden Fern-ET, the eventual Reserve Intermediate Champion. She was also the first-place udder in the class. Judge DeMent explained, “In this class this cow just sorted herself out here nicely for us today just again extremely dairy cow she’s very youthful in that udder yet lots of width and height to the rear udder as well and it’s that youthful look and she’s got a bit more strength throughout than the black cow coming out in second today.” Vierra Dairy Farms exhibited “Fern.” BJ Texas Madrid was named Reserve All American for Megan and Sarah Hill, Bristol, Vt.

Summer Breeze Tequila Gayle took home All American Senior Three-YearOld honors. “It is an overwhelming frame on this first cow,” said DeMent. “She’s just got the length the power the strength and is a very massive kind of cow out on the move. She’s got a little more strength and width throughout and pins a little nicer set today than the second cow.” “Gayle” was exhibited by Vierra Dairy Farms. The Reserve All American title, as well as best udder in the class, went to Top Gene Joel Pastel, exhibited by Misty Meadow Dairy. “Our second place cow goes over the third because of that crease. It gives her an advantage over the third-place cow and a bit more youthful look.” Josclaud Victorious Pixar took third with her more correct thurl placement and rump structure. “Pixar” is owned by Joe, Sarah and Brent Rocha, Tillamook Ore.

Heading the four-year-old class with the All American and first place udder title was Sugar Brook Bartender Bridgett, owned by Underground Genetics and Adam Clark, Pitcher, N.Y. The judge and his associate were enthusiastic when describing their winner, “An incredible udder on this winning four-year-old. She has extreme height and width and a great fore udder as well. She is just extremely balanced in the udder. We really like the extreme dairyness this cow has to go along with it the openness of rib the flatness of bone as well.” A fitting Reserve All American was found with Royalty Ridge-RF Gentry Fabulous-ET. She was exhibited by Tatum Grace Lancaster, Tillamook, Ore. “Our second place cow we felt followed the winner,” said DeMent. “She is a super nice cow that’s so well balanced, great feet and legs, not quite the rear udder of the first-place cow, but extreme balance. It’s those feet and legs that put her over this incredibly wide uddered, big framed cow that’s coming out in third.” “Fabulous” was also named best bred and owned of the show. Third place also hailed from the state of Oregon— Elliotts Fizz Charade-ET, exhibited by Patrick Marvin Gourley, Portland.

Lone Pine Joel Jugojuice 9807 seemed to handily take the title of All American Five-Year-Old and best udder. “We have an extremely balanced cow to start this class today,” said DeMent. “She has tremendous length from end-to-end and is a cow that’s more level on the udder floor than the cow in second. She’s just a little taller and a little longer. She’s a little stretchier kind of a cow. She carries herself on her rear legs just a little nicer than does the secondplace cow.” She was the entry of Misty Meadow Dairy, Tillamook, Ore. Reserve All American honors went to SVHeaths Tequila Jolie, exhibited by Vierra Dairy Farms. “It’s a beautiful high, wide rear udder we’ve got on the secondplace cow and that is what puts her up today over the cow in third, just a little more crease down the back of her udder as well.” South Mountain Premier Sprite took third.

Homeridge T Annette Wins National Futurity
W
ith the reputation of being the oldest and richest exhibition of dairy cattle in the world, the 68th National Jersey Jug Futurity was no exception. With the world continuing to be uncertain, the event acted as a glimmer of hope and inspiration for all watching ringside and through the livestream. It had a sense of normalcy and was a chance to celebrate high-quality Jersey cattle as they paraded on the green shavings. The 2021 National Jersey Jug Futurity Winner, Homeridge T Annette, represented the Jersey breed proudly out of 22 stellar cows. She not only took home the winning title, but also best udder, highest placing junior, Premier Performance Winner, and a cash prize of $2,284. Judge Brady Core, Salvisa, Ky., and consultant Robert Teixeira, Turlock, Calif., chose the champion in Freedom Hall on November 7, 2021. “Annette” not only took home the National Jersey Jug Futurity title, but All American Jersey Show judge, Ted DeMent, Kenney, Ill., chose her as the Intermediate Champion the next day—a rare feat. Earlier this year, “Annette” gained fame when she was named Grand Champion of the Junior Show at World Dairy Expo and went on to win Reserve Supreme JANUARY 2022
Champion of Expo’s junior dairy shows. Alongside “Annette” followed several other outstanding cows. Pacific Edge Colton Jazmin-ET followed “Annette” as the reserve winner. Owned by Brent L. Rocha from Oregon, she not only took the reserve title, but also best bred and owned and received a cash prize of $996. Rocha
also had third place overall with Pacific Edge Premier Kahlua-ET who was also bred and owned and took home a cash prize of $696. To have two cows in the top six is an accomplishment, especially within a prestigious class such as the futurity. (continued to page 58)

Jersey Jug Futurity (continued from page 57)
The top six represented five states: Wisconsin, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Oklahoma. Since its inception in 1954, the National Jersey Jug Futurity has seen more than 50,000 calves nominated, 3,945 have made their final payments as three-year-olds. Thus, giving them the chance to complete for just over $500,000 in prize money to date. Each year, breeders across the nation select and nominate their calves for the event. An annual fee is then paid to retain that animal’s place in the competition. As three-year-old cows, the nominees travel to Louisville, Ky., to participate in what remains arguably the most glamourous show in the world. The Judges Selected to place the oldest and richest class for dairy cattle in the world was Brady Core. This was Brady’s first time to judge the National Jersey Jug Futurity, but in 2012 he bred and exhibited the winner, KCJF Tracer Ritzy. In 2019, Brady was selected to judge the All American Junior Jersey Show. He was the junior show’s associate judge in 2017. He has officiated at many state and regional shows including the Dixie National Livestock Show, Wisconsin State Fair Junior Show, Ohio State Fair Junior Jersey Show and Tennessee State Fair. Brady currently serves on the American Jersey Cattle Association Type Advisory Committee while also owning Keightley and Core Jerseys. His consultant is Robert Teixeira. Robert and wife Kate along with their children reside in Turlock, Calif. Robert grew up and is now a partner on the family farm, GilTex Holsteins, with his parents Gilbert and Linda Teixeira. Gil-Tex Holsteins consists of 1,200 Registered Holsteins of which 600 are milking. Gil-Tex Holsteins has been home to six Excellent 95 or 96 point cows. Before honoring our nation with the National Anthem, members of Class VII of Jersey Youth Academy presented the Flag of the United States of America. The color guard included Emma Vos, Maribel, Wis., Grace Stroud, Caneadea, N.Y., Sophie Larson, Reedsburg, Wis., Nicole Arrowsmith, Peach Bottom, Pa., Elizabeth Hyman, Adams, N.Y., and Gracie Krahn, Albany, Ore. Taking center stage to sing the National Anthem during the National Jersey Jug Futurity was Neal Smith, Smyrna, Tenn. The Pre-Show Ceremonies The lights then dimmed for the five finalists competing for the title of 2021 National Jersey Queen. The lights Page 58
shined brightly on each girl as they were introduced. Eleven young ladies took part in a rigorous competition in the days prior. They took a test, went through a formal interview, and displayed their public speaking and dairy industry knowledge. Earlier in the morning, the top five finalists were named—Caroline Arrowsmith, Peach Bottom, Pa., Kathryn Bosley, Malone, N.Y., Kylie Konyn, Escondido, Calif., Maria Joy Poock, Boonville, Mo., and Hartley Silva, Modesto, Calif. As the crowd in attendance sat in anticipation, waiting for Master of Ceremonies Neal Smith, CEO and Executive Secretary of the American Jersey Cattle Association and National All-Jersey Inc., to announce the Queen and her court, it was quiet in Freedom Hall. Moments later, 2020 National Jersey Queen Miss Natalie Berry, Sherwood, Ore., congratulated Maria Joy Poock as the second alternate who also received a $200 scholarship from the National Jersey Queen Development Fund and then the first alternate was announced, Miss Caroline Arrowsmith who received a $300 scholarship. The remaining girls waited patiently hoping to hear their name called as the next National Jersey Queen. Kylie Konyn broke into a large smile as she heard her name called as the winner. The crowd cheered and the other girls cheered her on with smiles. Kylie received the Charlene Nardone tiara and a $500 scholarship. Kylie is a freshman at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She plans to obtain her bachelors in dairy science while double majoring in life sciences communications or genetics before pursuing a master’s degree in nutrition or genetics. She was a member of Class VII of Jersey Youth Academy and has also participated in 4-H, the California Junior Jersey Cattle Association, and other youth programs of the American Jersey Cattle Association. Kylie also plans to assist her family with developing niche marketing of dairy products from their Jersey herd by increasing the size of their herd. The first alternate on the royal court— Caroline Arrowsmith—is a sophomore at Penn State University, majoring in animal science with a minor in agribusiness management. She and her family operate Hillacres Jerseys. She was a member of Class VI of Jersey Youth Academy and was second alternate in 2020 in the Queen contest. She has been recognized by both the American Jersey Cattle Association and National Holstein association for her leadership and youth activities. Maria Joy Poock—second alternate—is a senior at the University of Missouri. She

is a member of the Missouri State Jersey Association, her county’s fair board, local 4-H club, and participated in 4-H Teen Council. She is currently serving as the Missouri State Jersey Queen in 2021. After crowning, the 22 junior and senior three-year-olds entered the ring, the contenders from 739 nominations made in 2018. Each took their turn under the arena spotlight for a formal introduction by Executive Secretary Neal Smith. The Railbird Judging Contest The popular Railbird Judging Contest was back in action again, after a year’s hiatus due to Covid-19 restrictions. There were three winners this year, splitting $51.67. A total of $310 was added to the Maurice E. Core Jersey Youth Fund. The Final Six Once the lights came back up, the crowd was able to take in the impressive group of cattle parading the ring. Judges Core and Teixeira evaluated the contestants very closely, ensuring no angle went uninspected. The audience watched with anticipation as the judges began pulling animals into the line and making their final decisions. Eventually, the competition came down to the top six: • Pacific Edge Colton Jazmin-ET, bred and owned by Brent L. Rocha, led by his mom, Sarah Rocha; • Red Dirt Colton Butterfly, bred and owned by Red Dirt Genetics, Perkins, Okla., led by Katrina Watson; • SSF Andreas Camilla, bred by Jennifer L. Gordon, owned by Ernest W. Kueffner and Terri L. Packard, Boonsboro, Md., led by Terri Packard; • Homeridge T Annette, bred by Ferme Steingruber Senc., owned by Kylie and Dawson Nickels, Travis Freson, Mandy Sell, and Scott Stanford, Watertown, Wis., led by Kylie Nickels; (continued to page 60)

The Reasons With the final six centered in front of the stage, the crowd in Freedom Hall waited patiently as the judges made their final placings. With results in hand, Master of Ceremonies Neal Smith began to announce the results in reverse order. As the cows peeled off into the line, two cows were left in the center— “Annette” and “Jazmin.” Judge Core then walked to the two cows with the purple blanket and placed it over “Annette’s” shoulders declaring her the winner. “The top six cows have wide rear udders, dairyness, and just are beautiful balanced cows,” said Judge Core as the top two cows paraded in front of the crowd. “What a tremendous cow to start off the class. She blows me away with her crazy height and width to her rear udder. She

has the dairyness and openness all the way through,” he continued. “She goes over the second-place cow today because she is longer in her fore udder attachment and is higher and wider in her rear udder attachment.” “The second place cow does show more depth and spring of rib,” said Core. “I would just change her at the top of the rear udder.” “Our third place cow is recently fresh and is in adequate body condition for her stage in lactation,” described Core. “I would like to see her in another four to six weeks. Her strength, uphill run, and her beautiful long cage puts her over our fourth place cow.” “What a tremendous udder and amazing fore udder attachment on the fourth place cow. We admire the balance to her udder and height and width to her rear udder. She uses that balance to her rear quarters, the balance to the floor of her udder, and desirable front teat placement along with the height and width of her rear udder to go over the cow in fifth. “The cow in fifth has a little more style in her frame, she is harder over the topline, more nearly level over her hooks and pins and we prefer the shape to her udder compared to the big wide rear uddered dairy cow coming in sixth.” This class continues to bring together Jersey cattle breeders, owners, and enthusiasts. This legacy will live on for generations to come and will always be known as the most glamourous class of Jersey dairy cattle. The Awards Each year, the Jersey Jug Futurity is the richest purse in an individual dairy class. In 2021, $8,665 worth of premiums were collected in nomination and annual fees.

Kylie Konyn Crowned National Jersey Queen Kylie Konyn, Escondido, Calif., has been crowned the 64th National Jersey Queen. Kylie was presented the Charlene Nardone Crown by 2020 National Jersey Queen Natalie Berry on November 7, 2021, at the start of the National Jersey Jug Futurity. She will represent Jersey breeders for the next year with participation in events such as the 154th Annual Meeting of the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA), World Dairy Expo, and The 70th All American Konyn Jersey Shows & Sales. Also serving on the national court of royalty are first alternate Caroline Arrowsmith, Peach Bottom, Pa., and second alternate Maria Joy Poock, Boonville, Mo. The National Jersey Queen contest spanned three days with 11 outstanding young women from across the country competing for the coveted crown. Kylie is a freshman at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She is majoring in dairy science and plans to double major with either life sciences communications or genetics. Following her undergraduate studies, she hopes to pursue a master’s degree in nutrition or genetics. “My platform is aimed at promoting and educating others of the many programs available through the American Jersey Cattle Association,” commented Kylie. “I chose this platform as a means of educating others about the numerous programs available to youth today. Youth programs are the future of our industry and serve as an educational background for many aspects of the industry including marketing, research, and management of a dairy farm. “I’ve always had an interest and passion for the Jersey industry. This passion has been fueled by the outpouring of support of mentors and programs through the AJCA. I want to ‘pay it forward’ to the youth coming behind me.” Kylie has served as the California Jersey Queen, Western National Jersey Queen and was a member of Class VII of Jersey Youth Academy. She and her family have shown Jerseys at the state, regional and national levels. She has volunteered at the California State Fair in the dairy JANUARY 2022
education booth, teaching the public about the benefits of the dairy industry. Her herd, Aspire Jerseys, is enrolled on REAP and utilizes many programs provided by the AJCA. Caroline Arrowsmith is a sophomore at Penn State University majoring in animal science with a minor in agribusiness management. She plans to work for a large-scale calf and/or heifer raising facility as a young stock specialist to gain experience and credibility. Her long-term goals are to be a youngstock specialist for an animal health or nutrition company. Caroline’s platform is, “Jerseys Do More for Less.” Caroline states, “Jerseys have long been known for their high butterfat and protein solids in their milk. Today this is extremely beneficial to farmers as more and more milk checks are including high component bonuses or using component-based pricing. This means dairy producers with Jerseys are often able to have a higher milk price than farmers with other breeds, even though they may produce an overall lower volume of milk.” She is a member of the Pennsylvania Jersey Cattle Association and the Penn State Dairy Science Club. She has held many leadership positions through the Lancaster County dairy 4-H program. She enjoys showing her Registered Jerseys at the local, state and national levels. Caroline was a member of Class VI of Jersey Youth Academy. Maria Joy Poock is a senior at the University of Missouri. Maria states, “I want to help people understand that agriculture is a positive influence in our world and is a safe and effective way to feed people around the world for generations to come. She is currently serving as the 2021 Missouri State Jersey Queen and was a member of Class VI of Jersey Youth Academy. Maria is a former mentor at the University of Missouri’s farm, where she worked with students caring for the calves. She also helped this past year with Missouri 4-H Dairy Cow Camp at the Missouri State Fair. The Queen and her court presented awards for the National Jersey Jug Futurity and The 69th All American Jersey Show. They also assisted with the clerking of The All American Jersey Sale. The Charlene Nardone National Jersey Queen Fund provided scholarships of $500, $300 and $200 to the Queen and two alternates.

DeMent Receives Max Gordon Award Ted DeMent, Kenney, Ill. has been named the 19th winner of the Max Gordon Recognition Award. DeMent was honored at a ceremony held during the National Jersey Jug Futurity in Louisville, Ky., on November 7, 2021. The Max Gordon Recognition Award is given annually to an exhibitor who possesses the five key elements for which the award’s namesake stood: sportsmanship, ethics, professionalism, ability and promotion of the Jersey cow. Recipients are chosen by a committee of individuals who have previously received the Max Gordon Recognition Award. Ted’s values make him a worthy candidate for the award. He is described as being easy to talk to, a true gentleman and friend, and above all a promoter of the Jersey breed. “One comment was repeated during the selection process—Ted has been extremely helpful to many Jersey breeders, either in getting their herd established or improving their existing breeding program,” said W. Phil Gordon, Syracuse, Ind., son of the late Max Gordon. “Ted has been a real asset to the Jersey breeders over the years. This comment kept being repeated from many people, all of whom Ted has assisted with their breeding programs.” He follows in the footsteps of his parents Don and Shirley DeMent, who passed their love for the Jersey cow on to him as well as the family farm. The DeMent family is now known for the outstanding Jerseys they breed. This includes top five winners in the National Jersey Jug Futurity, All American and Reserve All American winners, top five winners at World Dairy Expo, and numerous wins at the Illinois and surrounding state fairs. He has been attending the All American for more than 75% of his life and was one of the youngest to win the male showmanship contest in Louisville. In the early 1990s, the DeMent family brought five cows that placed in the top four of the All American Jersey Show. DeMent is respected across the United States because of his eye for cattle and is well-known for the many outstanding Registered Jerseys he has bred. Ted has consigned to numerous leading sales and let “his best one go,” watching them go on to win for their new owners. To date, he and his family have bred 117 Excellent cows, including 95-point cows DeMents Grayson Jinglebell, DeMents Surefire Elvira, and DeMents Socrates Pearl.

Ted has gained respect on the committees and associations he gives his time too. He has served on the Pennsylvania All-American judges panel, All American selection committees for Ayrshire, Guernsey, and Milking Shorthorn, All American sale and open show planning committees, and most recently was chair of the AJCA Type Advisory Committee. He has served as president of the Illinois Jersey Cattle Club. Before returning home to manage his family’s herd, Ted worked as a type traits evaluator for the AJCA for six years. Ted is described by his peers as selfless and humble, something that shines through in his service to the Jersey breed. Ted and Cheryl produce wood-burned art that is in high demand across the country. They have donated pieces many times to the AJCC Research Foundation auctions and to many other Jersey fundraising events. Ted is known for his always smiling, “never met a stranger” personality. He has always surrounded himself with people he could learn from, and the two most admired people in hislife are the late Fred Stout and his father, Don DeMent.

private sales. Their “Avonlea Summer Splash and Showcase” sales in Canada and the United States have attracted many new people to the Jersey breed. Avonlea have been leaders in the area of online sales and marketing, and they have managed some of the highest averaging sales in North America. A stand-out achievement of theirs was the 2020 Gone Global sale, which included animals from 11 countries and generated interest and excitement across the world. Jennifer and Andrew have influenced many people to become involved in the betterment of the Jersey breed and their passion and commitment have benefitted the breed in Canada and worldwide. Their passion and knowledge have been passed on to their children and many other youths to impact the next generation of Jersey enthusiasts.

A group of breeders, spearheaded by Dusty and Nicole Schirm, Ashville, Ohio, put together an online benefit auction to help cover some of the damages. One of the lots was the syndication of “Joplin” to raise money. After the sale, the Schirm’s donated “Joplin” to sisters, Sophie, Erin and Taylor. “Joplin” was successful as a heifer in the showring as she was named All American Junior Calf in 2018, Reserve Junior All American Junior Yearling in 2019, and then was third junior two-year-old at the 2020 All American Junior Show. “This cow has got style, balance and strength, and has a really good udder,” said Cozzitorto of his National Champion.

Junior, Intermediate, and Senior Champions In choosing the Junior Champion heifers Cozzitorto said, “The toughest class was probably the senior [fall] calf class, and the one that won stood out and was a pretty handy winner. She is going to our Junior Champion today.” “And to follow her for reserve we are going to go with our second-place senior calf. They are cut from the same mold,” continued Cozzitorto in his reasons. Receiving the Sycamore Hill Farm and Gardens Trophy and the title of Junior Champion was Schulte Bros Colton Fergalicious-ET, exhibited by Cole Kruse, Dyersville, Iowa. This was his second consecutive year winning the Junior Champion title. He did so in 2020 with a full sister to “Fergalicious.” She finished over the second-place fall heifer calf DKG Justice Suzanne, shown by Blake Greiwe, Sidney, Ohio.

The recipient of the Yosemite Jersey Dairy Trophy for Intermediate Champion was “Joplin.” Arethusa Colton CadburyETS took home the Albright Jerseys LLC trophy. She was shown by Grace Sauder, Tremont, Ill. “Taking nothing away from the second place cow, you love the udder and the dairyness,” Cozzitorto stated for his reasons behind his placement of the champion and reserve champion. Cozzitorto selected his winning senior three-year-old as his Senior Champion, stating his reasons: “For me today this three-year old is more correct all the way through. She is just a really balanced cow.” His winning five-year-old cow—WF Valentino Lokie—was named Reserve (continued to page 74)

The change was made due to Supreme Champion being selected immediately following the conclusion of the Jersey show. DKG Gentry Heidi topped the class of 37 spring calves. She was also named best bred and owned for her owner Lane Greiwe, Sidney, Ohio. “The top pair is pretty close, but in the end the calf in first tracks a little bit nicer on her rear legs,” stated Cozzitorto in his first set of reasons for the day. It was her feet and legs that carried her over the “stylish” calf in second. BolleAcres Fireman Passion, owned by Lane Bollenbacher, Argos, Ind., took home the Reserve Junior All American honors.

Jessica Nolt, Millmont, Pa., finished third with Engineer Vienerslider of Ccup. There were 39 fall calves exhibited in the class.

“In this summer yearling class, there’s not a clear-cut winner at first.—the top four or five are pretty nice heifers,” said Cozzitorto of the 30-entries in the summer yearling class. “Once we got them sorted out, we think the heifer that wins, wins pretty easy.” (continued to page 76)

Blaine Warburton, New Albany, Pa., captured the Junior All American title in the spring yearling class with Bolle-Acres Gentry Fashion. Cozzitorto elaborated on the close competition between second and third, stating: “Second over third, we flipped them around a time or two. But it’s the feet and legs when you view the second heifer from behind. She tracks a lot straighter on her feet and legs and has a little more desirable set to her leg than the heifer in third.” Taking home Reserve Junior All American honors was Meadowridge Vitality Star, shown by Alleah Anderson.

“A nice balanced cow, dairy and angular cow with a tremendous udder and you’ve got the nice teat placement on her. And she moves around on a good set of feet and legs,” described Cozzitorto.

“The cow that wins the class, she’s just a little more angular throughout, she’s a little more feminine about the head and neck, a little bit sharper over her shoulder, a little more slope from hooks to pins, a little bit deeper in the fore rib,” stated Cozzitorto while giving his reasoning for awarding the Junior All American Four-Year-Old title. “She’s a little more level on the udder floor and her teats sit squarely underneath her.”

G-Code Bulls Marketed by A.I. Organizations, December 2021 The highest-ranking bulls with the NAAB status code G from the official single-breed “S” genetic evaluations released by the Council on Dairy Cattle Breeding (CDCB) for December 2021 are listed below. Status code G designates genomic tested and marketed bulls that have fewer than 10 daughters with usable records as of the evaluation date. The cut-off for this list is a Jersey Performance IndexTM of 133. Bulls are listed in two groups, with those having AJCA Herd Register status or a Generation Count of 4-6 and a BBR 100, listed first, followed by bulls with Generation Count (GC) 3 or GC 4-6 with a BBR 93 and lower.
NAAB member organizations assigned G-code status to 442 Jersey bulls for this release. These bulls average +464M, +43F, +30P, CM$ +468 NM$ +458, and JPI +97. For the entire list of bulls with complete evaluations for yield, fitness and type traits, refer to the Jersey Genetic Summary (Vol. 26, No. 3, online at http://greenbook.usjersey.com). Three-generation AJCA Official Performance Pedigrees are included on the Green Book website. Official evaluations for bulls combining genomic and progeny test information are released after a minimum of 10 daughters have production (PTA protein) evaluations.

In Memoriam John David Sipe John David Sipe, Monroe, Ind., 70, passed away at his home on October 21, 2021. He was born on June 1, 1951, in Decatur, Ind., and graduated from Adams Central High School in 1969. He married Jill Sue Sipe in 1980. John was a lifetime dairy farmer who spent several decades showing dairy cows at the Indiana State Fair, where he received Premier Showman and several other awards. He dreamed of breeding, owning, and showing a National Jersey Jug Futurity Winner. In 2021, he was on his way to fulfilling that dream as Blue Creek Premier My Veronica-P was entered in the futurity. Though he passed before the show, he watched from above as his family exhibited her to 18th place in the most prestigious class of three-year-old Jerseys. Along with John’s love of dairy cattle, he was active in community. He owned and operated John Sipe Trucking, served on the Blue Creek Township Advisory Board, and was a member of the U.S.A.T.F. Master’s Pole Vaulting and High Jump, which is for athletes 35 and older. John coached girls softball, basketball, volleyball, and track at Adams Central School and served 24 years on the school board as well. He not only enjoyed coaching youth, but also loved to watch sports, especially Komets Hockey and the Chicago Cubs. Throughout his life he followed the Lord. He was a member of the Grace Bible Church in Berne. He had a servant’s heart, never met a stranger, and remained a prayer warrior for others. John also found pride and joy in founding Sipe Family Singers and singing bass for the southern gospel groups Work In Progress and Faithful Sons. In addition to his wife, Jill, he is survived by five daughters Rebekah (Rod) Price, Van Wert, Ohio, Katie (Brian) Wiederholt, Fort Wayne, Ind., Jessica (Neil) Henning, Cedarville, Ohio, Elizabeth (Kevin) Vigneault, Delafield, Wis., and Sarah Sipe, Durham, N.C.; brothers Donald (Coretta) Sipe, Berne, Ind., and Carl (Linda) Sipe, Medina, Minn.; sister Marilyn Crane, Decatur, Ind.; and 10 grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his father, George W. Sipe, and mother, Esther E. (Felty) Sipe. Memorials may be addressed to the John Sipe Scholarship Fund, 3292 E. 350 St., Monroe, IN 46772.
Charles “Bo” Richard Ervin Charles “Bo” Richard Ervin, Wartrace, Tenn., 76, passed away November 25, 2021. Page 100
He was born March 31, 1945, in Shelbyville, Tenn., to Volney Ray and Lois Kimmons Ervin. Bo was a cattle farmer who was in the industry for most of his life. Bo and his wife, Gay, took jobs off the farm to support a family tradition that started in 1995: showing Jersey cattle. With their grandchildren, they were able to keep the Jersey tradition alive exhibiting cattle across the nation. They have exhibited Grand Champions, best bred and owned winners, and protein and production winners. The family competed in the All American Jersey Show and won their first blue ribbons at the national show in 2011, earning two blue ribbons in the junior show and three in the open show. Among the first prizes in the open show was Junior Best Three Females. Aside from the dairy business, Bo was a row cropper and salesman for agriculture farm chemicals. He also attended the First Christian Church. In addition to his wife, Gay Swing Ervin, he is survived by children Amy (Jay) Massey, Doug (Joanne) Ervin, and Theresa Ervin, all from Wartrace; sister Shirley Ervin (David) Smotherman; and his four grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; and his four-legged friend, Ace.

Jerry Lee Graves Jerry Lee Graves, Dundas, Ill., 76, passed away on November 19, 2021, at the Deaconess Gateway Hospital in Evansville, Ind., following an extended illness. Jerry was born March 27, 1945, in Olney, Ill., to Melvin and Mabel Graves. He attended school in Dundas and graduated from East Richland High School in 1963. Jerry was a third-generation dairy farmer and dedicated his life to developing superior genetics in the Jersey cattle breed at Clover Farms Dairy.

Duane “Wick” Norman Wickstrom Duane “Wick” Norman Wickstrom, Hilmar, Calif., 87, passed away at Doctors Medical Center sur rounded by his immediate family on December 5, 2021. Duane was born into a life filled with cows, world travel, sports, and a passion for his community, family, and friends on April 14, 1934. He grew up on a Jersey dairy farm where his love for the industry began. He graduated from California Polytechnic State University with a degree in dairy science. Throughout his college career, Duane played both football and baseball which led to a career of almost 80 years as a sportsman. He played senior softball until he was 80 years old and finally retired his glove just seven years ago. His love of Jersey cattle led him to be active in the industry. In 1979, Duane became a founding member of Jerseyland Sires. He was honored as Master Breeder of the American Cattle Jersey Association in 2002. He also was a director of the AJCA, serving two terms from 1984-1990, where he encouraged development of services that would appeal to and be beneficial for larger commercial herds. He also was vice president of the board in 1989-1990. His two sons followed in his footsteps and served on the Board of Directors. His grandson is the current chair of the AJCA Type Advisory Committee. Jerseys have been the center of Duane’s life. He started his own dairy in 1968 with 160 cows with steady growth and wanted to expand into the thousands. In a span of three years, 1989-1991, the herd grew from 700 to over 1,000 cows. The expansion was made possible with good calf management, low culling rates, and the purchase of several smaller herds and heifers from New England. He also received the Senior Breeder Award from both Central Valley Jersey Breeders and California State Jersey Association. In 2016, the highest seller at the National Heifer Sale came from Wickstrom Jersey Farms Inc., purchased by Sexing Technologies, Navasota, Texas, for $15,700. When not around the cows he was heavily involved in the community, serving on many state and national boards, assisted (continued to page 102)

William D. Rankin William Dickason Rankin, Faunsdale, Ala., 85, passed away on December 17, 2021, at his residence.
He was born in Alfalfa, Ala., on January 18, 1935, to the late Amzi Godden and Susetta Lipsey Legg Rankin. His formative years were also heavily influenced by Bill Mack Johnson. He grew up on the wellknown Registered Jersey farm, Cedarcrest, where he spent his entire life working with his family. William graduated from Marengo County High School in Thomaston and then earned a degree in agronomy and soils from Auburn University. A gifted wrestler and coach, he was the undefeated heavyweight champion his senior year of college and later inducted into the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame. He also coached the wrestling team at Marengo Academy, leading the team to two state championships and describing the time with his players as the best 10 years of his life. He was a member of Sigma Nu fraternity and commissioned into the army through Reserve Officers’ Training Corps as a second lieutenant. William returned to Cedarcrest after serving his country and joined the partnership of A.G. Rankin and Sons in 1946 with his late brothers, Amzi Jr., John and Joe. Breeding with the slogan, “Registered Jerseys of the Finest Kind,” the Rankins developed genetics found in herds across the globe. They showed Cedarcrest Jerseys on national show circuits in the U.S. and Canada and bred bulls and cows that helped to shape the Jersey breed. The Rankins received the Master Breeder award from the American
Jersey Cattle Club in 1980. William had a lifelong love not just for cattle, but for the Cedarcrest land. He worked to improve the soil and earned several honors for his work in conservation. He was a member of the American Jersey Cattle Club, sat on the board of Black Warrior Electric Membership Corporation in Demopolis, and was an elder for Faunsdale Presbyterian Church. His faith was as strong as his love of family. William cooked breakfast each morning for himself and any guests to his home and was famous for his “Pop Eggs” and Christmas peanut brittle. He was a generous giver and believed in the benefits of hard work and trials for building character. He loved telling stories and was known for his quick wit, and simple, wise sayings. He is survived by f ive daughters, Elizabeth Rankin (Curtis) Allen, Margaret Rankin (Bobby) Byrd, and Coleman Rankin (Kurt) Krusmark, all of Faunsdale, Rebecca Rankin (Oie) Osterkamp of Raleigh, N.C., and Annie Coleman Rankin (Brycen) Williams of Auburn, Ala.; eight grandchildren; and seven greatgrandchildren. In addition to his parents and brothers, he was preceded in death by his wife of 40 years, Lucile Lucas Coleman Rankin, a sister, Rebecca Rankin Sterling, and a grandson.
