Continuing the Dream” is an accurate way to describe Jeff and Alta Mae Core’s family time at the 69th All American Jersey show on November 8, 2021. Their 10-year-old cow, owned with Frank and Diane Borba—Hirds Colton Dream— captured the National Grand Champion title for the second time, following her win in 2018.
She is the 12th cow to accomplish two-time champion status at the Jersey breed’s national show. In addition to that title, “Dream” was named the All American Lifetime Cheese Production Cow, best udder of the show, overall premier performance cow, and senior champion and GJPI senior champion.

Championship Classes
After judge Ted DeMent looked over the senior, intermediate, and junior champions he settled on his grand, reserve, and honorable mention of the open show.
“For grand today we’re going to stick with our Senior Champions,” said DeMent. “I think it was fairly easy for us today, as much as I love those young cows and those heifers out here. But it’s very easy to go with this powerhouse cheese yield cow; 10 years old and still looks like this, that’s just unheard of basically.”
The owners of “Dream,” Keightley-Core and Borba, Salvisa, Ky., were awarded the Silver Spring Farms Trophy presented by Chuck and Sue Luchsinger and Family. They also received the A.J. Keightley Memorial Trophy for best udder of the show. The breeder of “Dream,” Nathan Wade, Woodstock, Ont., received the Adelene Keightley Memorial Trophy.
“We feel the aged cow followed our champion nicely,” said DeMent about his reserve champion cow. “It is just a tremendous dairy cow in that aged cow.” The Steve and Lynda Bachelor Family presented Krohlow Comerica Anna with the trophy for Reserve Grand Champion. Following as Honorable Mention Champion was the Intermediate Champion, Homeridge T Annette.

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.
“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.
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
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.
Honorable Mention went to the Reserve All American Fall Calf, SV Tequila Topsy Tango. She was exhibited by Vierra Dairy Farms, Hilmar, Calif.

The All American Fall Heifer Calf caught the judges eye right away and went on to be named Junior Champion.
“This heifer that we started with, she just jumped right out at us,” complimented DeMent on his winner in a class of 42 heifers. “She’s got a little more width through the chest, a little more depth of heart today, and a little more strength throughout.

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 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.”

Ben, Gracie, Clancey and Amy Krahn accept the NAILE Herdsman Award from National Jersey Queen Kylie Konyn.
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.

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

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.

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.
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
class. Just a molded-on udder, beautiful fore udder and she has again just a little advantage in that she’s a little more youthful in her udder attachments today than the second-place cow.”

“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.
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.

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 Reserve All American and best bred and owned in class, exhibited by Brent L. Rocha, was Pacific Edge Premier Diva-ET.
She received high praise from Judge DeMent, “There’s not a cow with more style anywhere in this class than this second-place cow. She is just a beautiful cow out on the move; stylish, great feet and legs, open rib and she’s been milking for a while so she’s still clean, sharp, and angular.”
Ratliff Money Vixen placed third. “Vixen” was exhibited by Ron and Christy Ratliff, Garnett, Kan. Judge DeMent’s shared his reasons on “Vixen.

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. She used the “flex to her hock to place over the third-place cow.”

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.”
The Reserve All American title, as well as best udder in the class, went to Top Gene Joel Pastel, exhibited by Misty Meadow Dairy.

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. She was exhibited by Misty Meadow Dairy.

The eventual Reserve National Grand Champion, Krohlow Comerica Anna, was named All American Aged Cow, as well as best udder in the class.
“This aged cow wins the blue ribbon and the udder award quite handily today,” said DeMent. “She carries that rear udder quite a bit higher and wider today than the tremendous framed cow in second.” “Anna” was exhibited by John Vosters and James J. Ostrom.
The Reserve All American title went to Edgelea Tequila Sheraton—2019 National Grand Champion—who was exhibited by Peter Vail and Budjon Farms, Lomira, Wis. “She grabs your eye right when she walks into the ring, her profile view is just so impressive.”
“I really admire the height and width of the third-place cow and I did make her second-best udder in the class with that height and width advantage to her rear udder today,” said DeMent as he described Random Luck Surprise Me from Red Dirt Genetics, On the Go Farms, and Random Luck Farms, Perkins, Okla.
