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.

Enduring Documents This year’s Annual Meetings take us to Washington, D.C., the seat of America’s government since 1800. Of all the things that one could choose to see in a visit to our nation’s capital, none is more basic to our country’s past, present and future than the Constitution of the United States of America. Midway between Capitol Hill and the White House, at the National Archives Museum on Constitution Avenue, you can view the original handwritten and signed Constitution. Constructed by representatives of “We the People,” the Constitution is revered as a “timeless document. It was intended to guide us through decades, generation after generation, to everything that would develop in our country.” Because of this, as one Justice of the Supreme Court has observed, “It has protected us as a nation. It has inspired our survival.” The power and longevity of the U.S. Constitution are located, to considerable degree, in its structure. Its genius is that its principles are grounded in the best interests of those it serves, individual citizens as well as the country as a whole. The language is specific but was wisely unconcerned with the problems and circumstances of that era. So the Constitution functions as well today as it did when written almost 227 years ago, and stands ready to be applied to the issues that will inevitably arise because of more information, innovation and the passage of time. Recent discoveries highlight how important it is that the American Jersey Cattle Association and its members have a similarly well-crafted guiding document for dealing with undesirable genetic factors in the Jersey breed. At the 1977 annual meeting, a bylaw amendment established guidance for the identification, investigation and control of undesirable recessive factors by the association. From that bylaw came policies and procedures designed to control and limit genetic abnormalities. In their essentials, what was first published in September of 1977 in the pages of this magazine is little different from the Policies Regarding Undesirable Genetic Factors printed in this issue starting on page 27. “Each member … and each breeder of Jersey cattle” has responsibility for reporting known abnormal animals to the association. The Executive Secretary is charged to investigate and report findings to the Board of Directors. Based on science and expert counsel, the Board makes the call as to what genetic factors are undesirable, and authorizes may 2014

action appropriate to control and limit the undesirable condition. Governed by this policy, two conditions in Jersey cattle that had been identified previously—Limber Legs and Rectovaginal Constriction—were quickly brought under control, in fact so successfully that there are just a handful of breeders active today who have seen an LL- or RVCafflicted animal. In the intervening years, Jersey owners have been generally diligent about reporting abnormal-appearing animals, which, per policy, the association investigates. Now we have entered the brave new world of genomics. Within the first two years of widespread genotyping, the research geneticists at AIPL detected a “haplotype affecting fertility” in the Jersey breed. The abnormality policy gave clear guidance on how to proceed. The Board of Directors declared Jersey Haplotype 1 an undesirable genetic factor, authorized publication of JH1 status for tested animals, and disseminated information to people making breeding decisions. The more recent discoveries of BLAD, DUMPS and SMA in a limited number of Jersey animals occurred because the latest versions of commercial genotyping chips contain an alphabet soup of genetic recessive tests from multiple breeds. As this new information emerged, the Policies Regarding Undesirable Genetic Factors again provided the roadmap to designate those conditions and label the carrier animals. The AJCA’s policy on undesirable genetic factors was crafted by leaders of foresight and wisdom, people who knew that it would always be necessary to get abnormalities reported and their spread controlled. The members agreed; the 1977 bylaw amendment passed by a vote of more than 80%. It has served the Jersey breed and owners well and, we are confident, will continue to do so—if all cooperate in the acceptance and enforcement of this policy.

YOUNG JERSEY BREEDER AWARDS Seven Young Jersey Breeders to Be Honored in Alexandria

he AJCA Board of Directors has named seven recipients of the Young Jersey Breeder Award for 2014. They are Max and Carrie Jo Bollenbacher, Argos, Ind.; Ryan and Jennifer Clark, Tyrone, Pa.; James Herron, Salem, Ohio; Shannon Mason, Jefferson, N.Y.; Loyd Davis Peeler III, Starr, S.C.; Veronica Steer, Cottage Grove, Tenn.; and Adam Vance, Alverton, Pa. The first Young Jersey Breeder Awards were presented in 1976. Since then, more than 260 producers have received this award, including this year’s recipients. The Young Jersey Breeder Award is presented to individuals or couples younger than the age of 40 on January 1 of the year nominated who merit recognition for their expertise in dairy farming, breeding Jersey cattle, participation in American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) and National All-Jersey Inc. (NAJ) programs, and leadership in Jersey and other dairy and agriculture organizations. The 2014 honorees will receive their awards during the Young Jersey Breeders Banquet on Friday, June 27, at 12:00 p.m.

James and Tara Herron Ruby Sue

Ryan and Jennifer Clark

Max Bollenbacher, Argos, Ind., has known for most of his life that he just wanted to milk and breed great Jersey cows— something that he has achieved with great success. Dairying and breeding Jerseys had been a part of his family for more than 100 years beginning with his great-grandfather, Brayton Pyle. When Max graduated from high school, he began milking 25 Jerseys of his own and 15 more from other Indiana Jersey breeders. But this was all about to change for the Indiana boy when he married his wife, Carrie Jo, in 1997. Not long after their marriage, Max moved his small herd of Jerseys to Carrie’s family’s herd of 150 Holsteins and he became the herd manager. Since then the couple has grown their Jersey numbers to 125 cows and the Holsteins have increased to 600 head. The Jersey herd is kept in a separate barn with their own ration and is enrolled in REAP. Max and Carrie Jo are proud of their accomplishments with their herd of Jerseys. They currently have 50 Excellent homebred cows in the herd with an 86% appraisal average on the 117 cows. Their December 2013 rolling herd average was 17,813 lbs. milk with a 5.4% fat test and a 4.0% protein

Since 2007, Ryan and Jennifer Clark of Tyrone, Pa., have grown their Jersey herd from 28 cows to more than 200 Registered milking Jerseys. And they aren’t done, as the couple has plans to grow the herd to 400 cows in their next phase of expansion. Both Ryan and Jennifer began their love of the Jersey cow in their teens showing at the county and state levels. They were active in 4-H and FFA and both earned their American FFA degrees. Jennifer was a member of the winning Pennsylvania state FFA dairy judging team in high school. Both attended Penn State and were active with the dairy science club and held leadership roles in the club. They still participate by hosting class tours at their farm, a location for dairy challenge teams to practice and they both speak to classes regarding careers and opportunities in the dairy industry. While Ryan did not grow up on a dairy, he worked on neighboring farms through high school and college. With the wages he earned he was able to purchase 20 Registered Jerseys and house them at a neighbor’s dairy. Today, he and Jennifer rent facilities for their Windy Lane herd. After graduating from Penn State with a bachelor’s degree in animal science and a minor in agronomy, Clark took a position with Cargill Animal Nutrition as a dairy focus consultant. He credits this position

Though James Herron grew up with Jerseys on Welcome View Farm in Salem, Ohio, the spark that ignited his passion for dairying as a career came when he attended his first classes at the Ohio State University Agricultural Technical Institute (OSU-ATI). His early notion of becoming a history teacher, along with his struggles with school work, fell by the wayside when he found his niche in the university’s dairy program. He was on the university’s dean’s list every quarter and graduated magna cum laude in 2006. He received the Director’s Award for outstanding student and spoke at commencement for earning the award. After graduation, James returned to the farm to dairy with his father, David, and incorporated the business as Cold Run Jerseys the following year. At that point, the

Veronica Steer, Cottage Grove, Tenn., has always been passionate about dairy farming and Jersey cow. Whether you are a friend of Veronica’s from the dairy industry or you follow her on Facebook, it does not take long to realize that even today she shares her passion of the dairy industry and Jersey breed with the world. Her work with the Jersey breed began very early in her life on her family’s Jersey dairy, Greenwood Jerseys, in South Carolina. When she was just four-years-old, she received her first calf and began following her dad around the farm helping with whatever tasks she could, from opening gates and counting heifers in the pasture, to holding the bottle treating a cow. In 1994, Veronica’s parents made the difficult decision to dissolve the family partnership and move to East Texas and begin a new dairy on their own. Their first night at their farm, a beautiful rainbow came out over the farm and they aptly named their new dairy Sunbow Jerseys. It was here that Veronica learned many details about dairying as they had no hired help, just her dad, mom, and two brothers. It was the complete opposite of their (continued to page 22)

Loyd Davis Peeler III

Shannon Mason is operating Danforth Jersey Farm and Cowbella Creamery on a farm in Jefferson, N.Y., that has been in her family since 1817. She is the sixth generation to operate the farm established by her great-great-great grandparents, Nahum and Esther Danforth. Shannon was given the opportunity and the challenge to continue the dream of the family farm with the passing of her grandfather in 2004. Though most of the cows were sold after his passing, Shannon clung on to all the young stock and a handful of deep-pedigreed cows that couldn’t be sold, and worked with her uncle, Russell, to learn the ropes of dairy herd management. Two years later, she began milking the 20-cow Danforth Jersey herd wearing the milking stool worn by her grandfather. Today the herd numbers 48 milking cows. It is enrolled on REAP and has a 2013 lactation average of 20,321 lbs. milk, 924 lbs. fat and 734 lbs. protein. Danforth

In 2003, Davis Peeler returned to the family farm to become the third generation to own and develop Registered Jersey cattle on his family’s farm, Milky Way Farm, in Starr, S.C. From the time Davis was a young boy, the Jersey breed has been important to his upbringing and development. In 1993 on his 10th birthday, Davis fondly remembers the elation of winning the milking yearling class at The All American Jersey Show with Peelers Skyline Tami-ET. Ten years later in 2003, he was named the National Jersey Youth Achievement winner by the AJCA. During his youth, Davis also participated in the Pot O’Gold sales and production contests as well as continuing to show his Jerseys at local, state and national levels. After graduating from high school, Davis attended Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College in Tifton, Ga. It was during his second year that Davis returned home to the farm to help as his father, who was having

Adam Vance of Cotton Spring Farm, Alverton, Pa., is described by his peers and associates as intelligent, enthusiastic, forward-thinking, and a great dairyman. His love for the farm and milking cows is evident through his management practices in the 100-cow REAP herd. Since 1982, the Vance family has milked Registered Jerseys. Adam fondly recalls a trip to The All American Jersey Show in Louisville, Ky., with the Pennsylvania state herd where he showed his entry to a seventh place finish in the junior show and 11th in the open show. Experiences such as this one and working with his parents on the home farm helped him to realize he wanted to do something in the dairy industry after college. He attended Delaware Valley College in their dairy science program and began to work at the dairy as a student herdsperson. He and other students managed the 50-cow herd and 50 replacement heifers on a daily basis. He also became a member of the dairy society at the college and participated on the dairy judging team. During his sophomore year, Adam was faced with

test. They have received three Hall of Fame certificates with one awarded to favorite cow, Sambos Lady Luck of Bolle-Acres, Excellent-92%. She also was the Indiana leading lifetime cow for several years with more than 190,000 lbs. milk lifetime. Max and Carrie Jo also share a love for the show ring and have passed this love on to their four children, Drew, Lane, Sophie and Ellie. Max has exhibited Jerseys at the Indiana State Fair for 30 consecutive years. Four of the past six years, the family has won the Premier Breeder and three times they have been named Premier Exhibitor. This past year, their oldest son, Drew, exhibited the Junior All American Summer Yearling, Bolle-Acres Fire Erin, at the junior show in Louisville, Ky. This was not the first win for the couple at Louisville however. In 1995, Max exhibited Bolle Acres Lester TB Sarah to All American Junior Three-Year-Old honors. She went on to be named the Reserve Intermediate Champion of the show. Just three years later, the couple was back with a cow named Bolle-Acres MJ Willie May who was crowned National Grand Champion as a junior three-year-old and came back the next year to capture the title of National Grand Champion once again. While their success in breeding Jerseys have been many. Max and Carrie Jo have also earned high marks for their involvement in the dairy industry and community. In 2009, the couple was named Young Dairy Producers for the state of Indiana. Max has served as president of the county dairy association and held leadership positions with the Culver Young Farmers and the Indiana Jersey Association. He is also an avid basketball fan and coaches the local junior high team. Carrie Jo has also served in a leadership capacity with the Indiana Jersey Association, worked with the Marshall County Dairy Association and volunteered as a coach of the local 4-H dairy judging teams. Both have judged numerous county fairs and officiated judging contests. The couple has also volunteered their facilities at their farm for dairy and soil judging contests. In recent years, they have provided the Jersey classes for the National FFA dairy judging contest and host tours associated with the Indiana Young Dairy Farmers.

with allowing him to see many successful dairies throughout Pennsylvania and Maryland and learn from them. While balancing a full-time job and beginning his own dairy operation, Ryan was able to grow his herd Page 20

of 20 cows to its current numbers. In 2009, when the herd grew by 70 milk cows, Ryan resigned from Cargill and began to focus on the herd full time. During this growth, Ryan and Jennifer were able to secure a loan by putting together a realistic and conservative financial plan with a projected cash flow that lenders could easily understand. From the start, their goal has been to pay off the 10-year loan in seven years and they are on track to do exactly that and begin the next step: owning their own dairy. In 2013, the couple’s REAP herd had an AJCA lactation average of 22,049 lbs. milk, 1,069 lbs. fat and 851 lbs. protein on 120 lactations. This average ranked seventh in the nation for protein among all herds. In herds of similar size (80-149 lactations) the herd ranked second for protein production, sixth for milk and seventh for fat. Last year 50% of their herd was bred to young sires. The couple is also active off the farm as Ryan is the current vice president of the Pennsylvania Jersey Cattle Association and has been an active board member for the past three years. In 2013, he was awarded the Graduate Production Award from the National Dairy Shrine. Jennifer is an active member of the Pennsylvania Agriculture Industries Board. They participate in the regional young sire groups offered by the AJCA, use JerseyMate and advertise in the Jersey Journal. They are the proud parents of two girls: Leanne, 3, and Kylee, three-months old.

herd numbered 85 cows and 90 replacement heifers. Facilities were extensively renovated to allow for expansion. The original free stall barn was converted to a dry cow facility with two large calving pens and capacity for 40 cows. A four-row, 190-stall free stall barn with drive through alley in the middle was completed in 2007. The WestfaliaSurge double-10 parallel parlor with automatic take offs and Metatron P21 milk meters was completed the same year. A new heifer barn for calves weaning through breeding age was constructed in 2011. Today the herd is 220 cows and an equal number of replacement heifers. Cold Run Jerseys LLC is enrolled on REAP, uses JerseyMate in the heifer breeding program, is a contract advertiser with the Jersey Journal and belongs to Liberty Jersey Sires. In the years since he joined the operation, James has improved production and type while the herd was expanded. Cold Run Jerseys has ranked among the top 10 in the nation among similar-sized herds each of the past four years. The 2013 lactation

average of 21,455 lbs. milk, 1,142 lbs. fat and 781 lbs. protein ranks second for fat and third for milk and protein among herds with 150-299 cows. Twenty-five members of the milking string produced 305-day records in excess of 25,000 lbs. milk in 2013. Among them was Cold Run Action Rhea, Excellent-90%, who made the seventh high 305-day milk record (33,360 lbs.) in the nation. Another standout, Welcome View Brazo Tapper, Very Good-88%, made the fourth high fat record in the nation in 2010. In the show ring, many heifers have won classes and championships at state and local shows. Two have received All-Ohio honors. The herd includes 37 Excellent and 195 Very Good cows with an appraisal average of 84.9%. James purchased his first Jersey, SB Sparkling Empire, at the Buckeye Classic Sale in 2006. She proved to be a worthy investment as she was appraised Excellent-90% and made 19,840 lbs. milk, 1,082 lbs. fat and 823 lbs. protein in her fifth lactation. She was in the donor dam program at Cold Run Jerseys and has seven daughters. A pair of heifers purchased at All American Jersey Sales have also left their marks on the breeding program at Cold Run Jerseys. Three Valleys TBone F Maggie-ET, Excellent-92%, has a son at Accelerated Genetics and a daughter that is the highest genotyped heifer on the farm. Another daughter was the farm’s first consignment to an All American Jersey Sale last year. D&E Headline Eloise 2200, Excellent-91%, is the highest genotyped cow on the farm and has a son at Alta Genetics. James strives to breed cows with exceptional type while producing an ample supply of high component milk. He primarily uses service sires that will improve udder traits, type and cheese merit dollars. He also plans to boost the genetic level of the herd and develop merchandising opportunities for elite sales by genotyping more frequently and building a box stall barn for the herd’s leading genetic and show animals. James has been active in dairy organizations off the farm and plans to become more involved with the Jersey community by becoming a director or officer for the state or national Jersey organizations. He is a committee member of the ColumbianaMahoning County DHI and sat on the Columbiana County 4-H Dairy Committee. He served two years as vice president of the dairy club at OSU-ATI. He and his wife, Tara, married in November 2009 and have one child, Ruby Sue, who celebrated her first birthday in December 2013. Tara was a manager and tester for DHI in Ohio and is now an integral part of Cold Run Jerseys. JERSEY JOURNAL

Jersey Farm ranks among the top 25% REAP herds in the nation with an average JPI of +70 following the April 2013 genetic evaluations. The herd includes 11 Excellent and 26 Very Good cows and has an appraisal average of 85.3%. Five of the Excellent cows were bred by Shannon; the balance were bred by her uncles, Alan and Russell, using the farm’s prefix. Cowbella Creamery was established in 2010 to continue the farm’s viability as an income source for multiple generations. Inspiration for the creamery came from Shannon’s great-great grandmother, who made award-winning butter to support the family during the late 1800s. The Queen of Quality® producer makes butter and yogurt that is sold in 32 locations ranging from large grocery chains like Price Chopper, Hannaford and Shop Rite, to smaller markets such as Carrot Barn in the Schoharie Valley. Product is sold to a half dozen restaurants and specialty markets in New York City. Next year, the family plans to begin bottling skim and whole milk to utilize a greater portion of the milk produced by the Danforth Jersey herd. Cowbella Creamery has allowed the entire family to continue to live and work on the farm. Shannon oversees operation of the dairy herd and creamery. She does milkings and barn chores on a daily basis and a majority of the haying during the summer. She is in charge of design, marketing, sales, communication and promotion for the creamery. Her father, Dave Peake, delivers products. Her mother, Gail Peake, helps package butter and yogurt and lends a hand with calves and barn chores. Russell cleans the barn and feeds in the mornings, does some tractor work and helps package at the plant. Her husband, Hamilton, is a full-time history teacher and runs the plant on weekends and days off school. The creamery won gold medals in the North American Jersey Cheese Awards in 2011 for its salted butter, sweet cream butter, chive butter and garlic oregano butter. Danforth Jersey Farm was named a Gold Standard Dairy by Dairylea through its quality assurance program for animal well-being, environmental stewardship, employee training and milk safety and quality. It also received a high-quality milk award from Dairy One, earned the Verified Premium Plus designation from the Dairy Quality Center and became a Dairy of Distinction in 2013. Danforth Jersey Farm also became a part of the Schoharie County Barn Quilt Trail in 2013 with the addition of a quilt painting on the barn that has been used by the family since the 1920s. Shannon is involved off the farm as well. may 2014

She is a member of the agriculture committee for the Schoharie County Chamber of Commerce and sits on the board of the Jefferson Historical Society. She is a founding member of the Catskills Family Creameries, a group of farmstead producers that are collaborating their marketing, distribution and education efforts, and active with the Center for Agricultural Development and Entrepreneurship. Shannon believes success has come from three components: a long established farm history; a strong family team that is willing to work very hard for the greater good; and a vision of giving an opportunity for a brighter and better future for the constant inspiration, the seventh generation, her children, Gus, 8, and Daisy, 4.

back problems and needed the extra hand. Davis continued taking classes at the local community college while working on the home farm. Through this transition back to the home farm, Davis also worked with Jersey Marketing Service to learn more about how other operations and areas of the country dairy. It helped him decide it was definitely what he wanted to do and he returned home as a paid employee. Today, he is a shareholder in the family

dairy operation. As Davis returned home, the family knew they had to make some changes to make room for the next generation. They worked together to develop a strategic business plan that would better provide sustainability to their operation within their local community by marketing the milk from their Registered Jersey herd directly to the consumer with minimal processing. Since South Carolina allows the sale of unpasteurized milk from the farm, it was a natural progression for the Peeler family to be able to support a second household without having to add more land or cattle to their business. In 2003, they began selling milk directly to the consumers using a three-quarter ton pick-up truck and several larger coolers to make deliveries to the neighborhood. They also began visiting local farm markets and natural food markets. Business growth was very slow to begin, but has taken off rapidly in recent years. The family has begun to look at the next step of incorporating products such as butter and cheese into their marketing line. Davis and his family encourage their consumers to visit the farm and see where their milk is made and follow its progress from the field to refrigerator. They believe the openness and transparency of their (continued to page 22)

business builds the needed trust for the consumer to come to them as the first source of information regarding the dairy industry. Davis wears many hats with his 100cow REAP herd. He has taken over the responsibilities of the herd’s breeding program and the farming operation, while his father concentrates on the milk marketing side of their business. His goal for the breeding program is to focus on developing an efficient cow that produces milk profitably on pasture and breeds back quickly in their hot, humid climate. Currently the herd has a 12.6 month projected calving interval, keeping that goal in sight. Under Davis’ management, the top twothirds of the herd are strategically mated, utilizing both genomic young sires and proven sires with the goal of producing high-ranked genomic progeny. The herd is bred 100% to A.I. sires, with 45% of the herd bred to young sires. He recently has begun to genomic test selected cows and heifers in the herd to build more marketing opportunities down the road. He also chooses to test for A2/A2 to prepare for future demands of the milk market. Davis and his wife, CeGi, are both active in the community, including the Farm Bureau Young Farmer and Rancher program. Davis also serves as a board member of the Anderson County Farm

Bureau. He is a dairy educator coordinator of the Bowie Old Farm Day and has served as delegate for the Dairy Farmers of America Young Cooperative Conference. He and CeGi have two children, Eva Lynne, 4, and Jaspar Davis, six months.

setup in South Carolina, as there was no freestall barn or TMR, just grain in the barn and alfalfa hay in a feed wagon out in the pasture on the rented dairy. The family made one more move in 1995, when they purchased their current farm, a dairy that was much more like their South Carolina dairy. The farm includes cropland, a freestall barn and TMR is once again fed to the cows. Today, much of the day-to-day management decisions are Veronica’s responsibilities. After graduating from Virginia Tech in 2003, Veronica took two years to work off the farm. Her first job was an internship with Disney World in Orlando, Fla. She stepped completely out of her comfort zone as a tour guide at Epcot in their Innoventions center. The experience taught her to work with the public and be quick thinking on her feet. These are skills that help her still today as she now finds herself answering questions about

the dairy industry. Upon the completion of the internship, she went to work for Dr. Joe Lineweaver and Blue Ridge Embryos. She traveled with him helping him flush cows across the southeast for a year before moving back home to begin dairying with her family. While her passion lies in working with the cows, Veronica now also find herself managing the crop work at the farm as well and seeing how the crops impact the herd. In 2012, they suffered a drought and made very little feed. They ran out of corn silage in April 2013, and she felt extreme frustration at having to buy most of their feed and see the milk production of the herd suffer because they couldn’t feed the cows as they wanted. However, their 2013 crop was one of the best they ever had and she is reaping the benefits now. The REAP herd of 97 cows has a 2013 AJCA lactation average of 17,783 lbs. milk, 782 lbs. fat and 618 lbs. protein. They are contract advertisers in the Jersey Journal, support the Equity program and are participants in the regional young sire programs offered by the AJCA. This past year, over 85% of the matings in the herd were made to genomic young sires. Veronica has been recognized by many of her peers in the industry for her work and leadership. She was the 2001 National Jersey Youth Achievement Winner. In 2003, (continued to page 23)

she was awarded the Senior Science Award by the Virginia Tech Dairy Club. Currently she is a member of the steering committee for the Dairy Farmers of America (DFA) Young Cooperative Program and served as a delegate for DFA from 2011-2013. She is the current president of Dixieland Jersey Sires, Inc., proving group with the AJCA and is the secretary-treasurer for the Henry County DHIA organization. In 2013, Veronica became a media spokesperson for the Southeast United Dairy Industry Association as well as being active with her church. It is evident to those that know Veronica, her future in the dairy industry is a bright one. She has set goals for herself and the dairy that she is working hard each day to achieve. Those goals include everything from finding a way to continue doing what she loves to improving the reproductive efficiencies of their herd.

a difficult decision when his mother was killed during a hunting accident. She was a large part of the success of the home farm and the work load there. His father helped him realize that his mom would want him to finish his schooling so he went back to school and graduated two years later with his degree in dairy science. In 2007, after years of looking to enlarge their home facilities and grow the herd, the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prayers were answered as they were able to purchase a neighboring farm. The extra 180 acres gave them more crop land and facilities and space to house their dry cows, calves and heifers. The herd average continues to increase and Adam and his father continue to make more improvements to the facilities and management practices. Two years ago, new calf housing was added and the success of the calf program continues to improve as they feed high-quality colostrum, milk replacer and starter feed to the calves. His attention to detail is carried throughout the transition from the calf pen, to the heifer pen and into the milking herd. They use many programs of the AJCA, such as JerseyMate, and are members of the regional young sire programs. Adam has complete responsibility over the managing and breeding the herd as well as the cropping on the farm. Nearly 50% of the herd is currently bred to young sires. Adam has been married to his wife, Kelly, for 16 years and the couple are instilling the love of the farm in their three children. Austin, 15, Lane, 13, and Brooke, 12, all are active in 4-H and help out where needed on the dairy. Adam hopes to ensure their future on the dairy with a goal of building a new facility in the future. may 2014

Glanbia Economist to Address 2014 Annual Meeting of National All-Jersey Inc.

Michael L. Brown, Director of Dairy Economics and Policy for Glanbia Foods, Inc., will be the keynote speaker for the 56 th Annual Meeting of National AllJersey Inc. The meeting will convene at 8:00 a.m. (EDT) on Friday, June 27 at the Holiday Inn & SuitesHistoric District in Alexandria, Va. Glanbia Foods is the largest Americanstyle cheese manufacturer and among the largest wh ey i n g r e d i e n t producers in the Brown United States. The company manufactures highly-acclaimed cheeses and nutritional ingredients for customers worldwide at five U.S. facilities, four in the Magic Valley region of southern Idaho and the fourth in Clovis, N.M., a Southwest Cheese joint venture. Glanbia posted sales of $1.8 billion to rank twentyfirst on the 2013 Top 100 Processors list published by Dairy Foods. Mike Brown has over 25 years’ experience in U.S. and dairy trade policy, milk pricing, and farm and plant economics. In addition to analyzing both domestic and international dairy markets for Glanbia, he coordinates its work on economic and trade regulatory issues and manages Glanbia’s other U.S. dairy policy initiatives. Mike was part of a team that retooled Glanbia’s end-product-pricing program, which prices milk directly on butterfat, casein, whey protein and other solids content, creating more incentive to produce high-protein milk. From November 1993 through March of 2004, Mike was General Manager of National All-Jersey Inc. His primary project was leading NAJ’s effort to expand protein-based component pricing into the majority of regulated milk markets, through addition of language in the 1996 Farm Bill and directing NAJ’s regulatory activity that followed the farm bill directive on component pricing. He was selected as recipient of the AJCA-NAJ Award for Meritorious Service in 2004. Brown is a native of western New York, where he was raised on a small dairy farm. He earned a B.S. degree in dairy science at Virginia Tech, followed by graduate studies at Ohio State University. He now lives in Kenosha, Wis. Registration forms and the schedule of may 2014

GENETIC IMPROVEMENT

Policies Regarding Undesirable Genetic Factors Effective February 22, 1983 Revised July 27, 2011, November 2, 2012, August 19, 2013, March 16, 2014 Statement of Policy Every effort should be made within the breed to identify those animals that carry undesirable genetic factors. The American Jersey Cattle Association considers it the responsibility and obligation of each member of the Association and each breeder of Jersey cattle to report to the Executive Secretary any known case of an abnormal Jersey animal. The Executive Secretary shall maintain records of abnormalities and shall make available information from such records in accordance with rules established by the Board of Directors from time to time. The Board of Directors considers it to be unethical practice to offer for sale an animal, male or female, an embryo or semen from an animal that has been designated a carrier of an undesirable genetic factor without first informing the prospective buyer of this fact. In practice this means that any advertising, descriptive material, or pedigree containing a designated carrier of an undesirable genetic factor shall carry a statement indicating designated carriers. This statement of policy is made in belief that it is in the best interests of the breed and the breeders of Jersey cattle. It is made in the belief that it will serve the position of those who have taken the more difficult, positive, open approach to this fundamental concept of ethics in the improved breeding of dairy cattle. In the long run, all serve to gain by such a policy, but only to the degree that all cooperate in the acceptance and enforcement of this policy.

Identification of Undesirable Genetic Factors In determining what genetic factors are considered to be undesirable in the Jersey breed, the Board of Directors shall consider such evidence as it considers appropriate. The Executive Secretary shall make such investigations of genetic factors occurring in Jersey animals as he or she may believe necessary or advisable and shall report the results of his or her investigations to the Board of Directors. Before recommending that the Board make a determination regarding the exismay 2014

Action On Abnormalities Excerpted from

Bylaws of The American Jersey Cattle Association Article IV, Section 4. The Executive Secretary shall make such investigations of genetic factors occurring in Jersey animals as he or she may believe necessary or advisable and shall report the results of his or her investigations to the Board of Directors. Each member and non-member of the Association shall cooperate fully in any such investigation. The Board of Directors shall determine what genetic factors are considered to be undesirable in the Jersey breed and shall take whatever action it may consider appropriate to control and limit such undesirable genetic factors. The collection, compilation and dissemination of information relating to genetic factors is hereby declared to be in the furtherance of the aims and purposes of the Association, the preservation of the high breeding standards of Jersey cattle, and the protection not only of the members of the Association but also of the public generally; and dissemination of such information is therefore, deemed to be qualified privilege. Accordingly, the Association shall publish and release such information in accordance with procedures established by the Board of Directors. In so doing neither the Association, nor its officers, directors, employees, or agents shall be liable for damages or otherwise. tence of an undesirable genetic factor, the Executive Secretary shall consult with at least two experts whose recommendations shall be submitted to the Board. Identification of Carrier Animals When the Board of Directors shall determine that an undesirable genetic factor exists in the Jersey breed, the Board shall take whatever action it may consider appropriate to control and limit the genetic factor. Such action will include procedures to identify animals that are probable carriers of the undesirable genetic factor and to inform persons having an interest in the Jersey breed of the identity of such probable carriers. The procedures for publication of the identity of probable carrier animals, referred to as “designated” carriers, are contained in supplemental statements adopted with respect to each undesirable genetic condition. For each undesirable genetic condition the Board of Directors shall adopt a separate statement of procedures for designating animals, referred to as “Statement of Designation Procedures,” and designate an official report form to be used for reporting affected animals. The Board of Directors shall be responsible for designating animals as carriers of an undesirable genetic factor. When an animal has been designated as a carrier, the Executive Secretary shall notify the last recorded owner,

the breeder, any lessee, and any third-party nomination by regular U.S. Mail. The Board of Directors may adopt procedures and rules by which a Jersey may be progeny tested for a particular undesirable genetic factor. The rules and procedures for progeny testing are contained in supplemental statements adopted with respect to each undesirable genetic condition. The policy of the Association is to identify and designate Jersey animals as carriers of undesirable genetic factors when (1) genomic detection based on DNA analyses and/or (2) documentation of their own progeny is sufficient to accomplish designation. Publication and Release of Information Male and Female Animals The Executive Secretary shall maintain a record of all animals that have been designated carriers of an undesirable genetic factor, and designation shall be noted on all advertising, descriptive material, or pedigrees published by the Association containing reference to a designated carrier. The Association shall also notify the recorded owner, the breeder, any lessee, and any thirdparty nominator if the animal carries an undesirable genetic factor. (continued to page 28)

GENETIC IMPROVEMENT Genetic Abnormality Policy (continued from page 27)

Except as provided in this statement of policies, no information concerning the genetic condition of any animal shall be released by the Association without approval of the Board of Directors. Male Animals Only When the Association receives an official report of an affected animal, the Executive Secretary shall so inform the last recorded owner, the breeder, and the lessee, if any, of the sire of such an animal by regular mail; and thereafter he or she shall routinely inform the breeder, the owner, and the lessee of that sire of the receipt of any additional reports and supporting documentation required by the applicable Statement of Designation Procedures and of such additional information as he/she shall deem appropriate. When the Association receives an official report that an animal is affected with an undesirable genetic condition and that report is accompanied by the documentation required by the applicable Statement of Designation Procedures and if the sire of the animal described in the report is the son or grandson of a designated carrier or an affected animal, the Executive Secretary shall prepare a statement containing information as he or she, in his or her sole discretion, shall deem appropriate with respect to such sire. Such statement shall be furnished to the last recorded owner, the breeder, and the lessee, if any, of the sire and to any AI organization that is currently is offering for sale semen obtained from the sire. The statement shall also be furnished to any other person who requests information from the Association concerning the sire. The identification of bulls designated as carriers of undesirable genetic factors shall be published in the Jersey Journal from time to time in such manner as the Executive Secretary shall determine. Sales For each undesirable genetic condition the Board of Directors shall establish policies for the marketing of carrier animals and their progeny in all sales sponsored or managed by the Association or Jersey Marketing Service. Limber Legs (LL) Statement of Designation Procedures Designated November 1972 Description of Condition The affected calf has little or no control Page 28

over movement of legs and is unable to stand. The calfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legs lack normal muscling, appear loose at the joints, and can be flexed, extended and rotated without difficulty or discomfort to the calf. Usually the legs can be crossed above the dorsal side of the neck without discomfort to the calf. Requirements for Designation of Limber Legs Carrier The Board of Directors will not designate an animal a carrier of Limber Legs if the Board considers that there is a reasonable doubt that the animal is a carrier. The determination as to reasonable doubt depends upon the quality and amount of available evidence which will vary in each case. Usually, the Board will designate a carrier bull without the concurrence of the breeder, last recorded owner, and the lessee, if any, upon receipt of two or more official reports that calves sired by that bull are affected with Limber Legs if (1) the calves reported on were born in two separate herds and (2) each report is accompanied by the written statement of a veterinarian or other person (other than the person signing the official report) who, in the opinion of the Executive Secretary, is qualified to identify the Limber Legs condition describing the condition of the calf and stating whether, in his or her opinion, the calf is affected with Limber Legs. However, with the concurrence of the breeder, the last recorded owner, and the lessee, if any, the Board will usually designate a carrier bull upon receipt of one or more official report(s) that a calf sired by that bull is affected with Limber Legs if each report is accompanied by a written statement by a veterinarian or other qualified person and if a parent or any grandparent of the bull has been designated a Limber Legs carrier. Usually the Board will designate a carrier cow upon receipt of one official report that a calf delivered by that cow is affected with Limber Legs if the report is accompanied by the requisite written statement of a veterinarian or other qualified person. An extended (six generation) pedigree of the affected animal will be prepared to see if the animal traces to designated carrier animals. With respect to all sales sponsored or managed by the Association or Jersey Marketing Service, a bull shall not be accepted unless the probability of his being a carrier of Limber Legs, based on his relationship to affected animals or designated carriers, is less than 12.5%.

Daughters of designated carriers of Limber Legs shall not be accepted in any consignment sale managed by Jersey Marketing Service. Granddaughters of designated carriers shall not be accepted in the National Heifer Sale, the Pot Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Gold Sale or The All American Sale but may be accepted in other consignment sales managed by Jersey Marketing Service. Rectovaginal Constriction (RVC) Statement of Designation Procedures Designated June 1975 Description of Condition Rectovaginal Constriction (RVC) is constriction of the rectum and vagina such that the arm usually may not be inserted normally in the rectum to permit artificial breeding. An episiotomy or Caesarian section is usually required for calving. The condition may be accompanied by hardening of the udder. Requirements for Designation of Rectovaginal Constriction Carrier The Board of Directors will not designate an animal as a carrier of Rectovaginal Constriction (RVC) if the Board considers that there is a reasonable doubt that the animal is a carrier. The determination as to reasonable doubt depends upon the quality and amount of available evidence which will vary in each case. Usually, the Board will designate a carrier bull without concurrence of the breeder, last recorded owner, and the lessee, if any, upon receipt of two or more official reports that, calves sired by the bull are affected with RVC if (1) the calves reported on were born in two separate herds; (2) the bulls relationship to the calves is supported by blood typing; and (3) each such report is accompanied by the written statement of a veterinarian or other person (other than the person signing the official report) who, in the opinion of the Executive Secretary, is qualified to identify the RVC condition describing the condition and stating whether in his or her opinion the calf is affected with RVC. However, with the concurrence of the breeder, the last owner, and the lessee, if any, the Board will usually designate a carrier bull upon receipt of one or more official report(s) that a calf sired by that bull is affected with RVC if each report is accompanied by blood typing to verify parentage and by written statements of a veterinarian or other qualified person and if a parent or grandparent of the bull has been designated an RVC carrier or is afJERSEY JOURNAL

fected with RVC. Usually, the Board will designate a carrier cow upon receipt of one official report that a calf delivered by that cow is affected with RVC if the report is accompanied by blood typing to verify parentage and by the requisite written statement of a veterinarian or other qualified person. An extended (six generation) pedigree of the affected animal will be prepared to see if the animal traces to affected or designated carrier animals. With respect to all sales sponsored or managed by the Association or Jersey Marketing Service, a bull shall not be accepted unless the probability of his being a carrier of Rectovaginal Constriction, based on his relationship to affected animals or designated carriers, is less than 12.5%. Daughters of designated carriers of Rectovaginal Constriction shall not be accepted in any consignment sale managed by Jersey Marketing Service. Granddaughters of designated carriers shall not be accepted in the National Heifer Sale, the Pot Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Gold Sale or The All American Sale but may be accepted in other consignment sales managed by Jersey Marketing Service. Jersey Haplotype 1 (JH1) Statement of Designation Procedures Designated June 2011 Revised November 2011, August 2013 Description of Condition Jersey Haplotype 1 (JH1) designates a reduction in fertility, specifically early embryonic loss, attributable to a specific haplotype on Bos taurus autosome 15 (BTA15). Subsequent investigation identified the biological cause of embryo loss as a loss-of-function mutation in the CWC15 spliceosome-associated protein homolog gene (Sonstegard et al., 2012, PLoS ONE, 8:354872). Determination of JH1 Status The Board of Directors will not designate an animal either a carrier or free of JH1 haplotype if the Board considers that there is a reasonable doubt that the animal is a carrier. The determination as to reasonable doubt depends upon the quality and amount of available evidence which will vary in each case. Official JH1 status is obtained (1) by direct observation of the loss-of-function (LOF) mutation in CWC15 in the genotype of an animal, or (2) by use of LOF mutation test results of family members to determine if the mutation is contained in the JH1 haplotype of other genotyped animals, may 2014

and reassessed as additional information is obtained from DNA analyses. With respect to all sales sponsored by the Association, a bull shall not be accepted unless designated free of Jersey Haplotype 1. Bovine Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency (BLAD) Statement of Designation Procedures Designated March 2014 Description of Condition Bovine Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency (BLAD) is a genetic defect affecting white blood cell function which causes extreme susceptibility to infection. The white blood cells of the affected animal fail to attach to the cells lining the blood vessels, an essential step in their migration to the point of infection to destroy invading pathogens. BLAD carriers have a mutation in the CD18 gene (Shuster et al., 1992, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 89:9225-9229). Determination of BLAD Status The Board of Directors will not designate an animal a carrier of BLAD if the Board considers that there is a reasonable doubt that the animal is a carrier. The determination as to reasonable doubt depends upon the quality and amount of available evidence which will vary in each case. BLAD carrier status is determined by observation of the mutation at position 383 of the CD18 gene in the genotype of an animal. With respect to all sales sponsored by the Association, no animal shall be accepted that is a designated carrier of Bovine Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency.

termination as to reasonable doubt depends upon the quality and amount of available evidence which will vary in each case. DUMPS carrier status is determined by observation of the mutation and the loss of an AvaI site at codon 405 in the genotype of an animal. With respect to all sales sponsored by the Association, no animal shall be accepted that is a designated carrier of Deficiency of Uridine Monophosphate Synthase. Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Statement of Designation Procedures Designated March 2014

Deficiency of Uridine Monophosphate Synthase (DUMPS) Statement of Designation Procedures Designated March 2014

Description of Condition Bovine Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is a neurodegenerative genetic disease that typically occurs at three (3) to four (4) weeks of age as weakness of the rear legs. Terminal stages are marked by severe muscular atrophy, weakness in all four limbs and inability to stand. The causative gene SMN has been mapped at the very distal end of BTA24 (Krebs et al., 2007, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 104:6746-51). Determination of SMA Status The Board of Directors will not designate an animal a carrier of SMA if the Board considers that there is a reasonable doubt that the animal is a carrier. The determination as to reasonable doubt depends upon the quality and amount of available evidence which will vary in each case. SMA carrier status is determined by observation of the causative gene SMN on BTA24 in the genotype of an animal. With respect to all sales sponsored by the Association, no animal shall be accepted that is a designated carrier of Spinal Muscular Atrophy.

Description of Condition Deficiency of Uridine Monophosphate Synthase (DUMPS) is a genetic defect that causes failure in the synthesis of DNA and results in early embryonic death of homozygous offspring. DUMPS carriers have a mutation with loss of an AvaI site at codon 405 (Schwenger et al., 1993, Gene Genomics 16:241-244). Determination of DUMPS Status The Board of Directors will not designate an animal a carrier of DUMPS if the Board considers that there is a reasonable doubt that the animal is a carrier. The de-

Importance of Reporting and Testing Controlling undesirable genetic factors requires (1) reporting all animals that appear abnormal or are abnormal in function; (2) scientific investigation to establish conditions which are genetic in nature; (3) labeling carriers that may transmit the condition to offspring; and (4) making this information available to people making breeding decisions. Suspected abnormal animals should be immediately reported using forms available from the Executive Secretary or the USJersey.com website. Page 29

At its regular meeting in March 2014, the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) Board of Directors added three new genetic conditions to the list of undesirable genetic conditions recognized by the Jersey breed. The three conditions are caused by autosomal recessives that were identified in a handful of animals nominated through the association for genotyping. The three new conditions are: Bovine Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency (BLAD), Deficiency of Uridine Monophosphate Synthase (DUMPS) and Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). The three genetic conditions identified by the AJCA as undesirable prior to March 2014 were: Limber Legs (LL), Rectovaginal Constriction (RVC) and Jersey Haplotype 1 (JH1). In this month’s Jersey Jargon column, we’ll define the term autosomal and each of the new undesirable genetic conditions. Autosomal Recessives An autosome is a chromosome that is not a sex chromosome (X and Y chromosomes) and is therefore not involved in gender determination. Autosomes are inherited in pairs. An autosomal recessive requires two copies of DNA—one from each parent— to produce the characteristic effect. The recessive can be a single gene, or allele, or a haplotype, which is a chunk of genes inherited as a block.

BLAD, DUMPS and SMA BLAD is a genetic defect affecting white blood cell function which causes extreme susceptibility to infection. The white blood cells of the affected animal fail to attach to the cells lining the blood vessels, an essential step in their migration to the point of infection to destroy invading pathogens. DUMPS is a genetic defect that causes failure in the synthesis of DNA and results in early embryonic death of homozygous offspring. SMA is a neurodegenerative genetic disease that typically occurs at 3-4 weeks of age as weakness of the rear legs. Terminal stages are marked by severe muscular atrophy, weakness in all four limbs and inability to stand. From an economic standpoint, BLAD and SMA are of greater significance than DUMPS because they affect the resulting calf. DUMPS impacts fertility and results in no pregnancy. How Were the Conditions Identified? As with JH1, the new undesirable genetic conditions were identified through genotyping. BLAD, DUMPS and SMA were identified through routine genetic marker tests for milk components, metabolic measures and genetic disorders in multiple dairy breeds, not just Jerseys. Eleven animals have been identified as carriers of the undesirable genetic conditions using either the GeneSeek Genomic Profiler Chip, commonly called the second version low-density 8K chip (GP2), or the GeneSeek High Density Chip, referred to as the high-density 80K chip (GHD). All have Genetic Recovery ancestors.

To date, 12,202 Jersey females have been genotyped using these two chips. What Does This Mean? All Jerseys genotyped with the GP2 chip will be tested for BLAD, DUMPS and SMA. Animals that are determined to be carriers for these conditions will be identified as carriers. For BLAD, the acronym BLC will be used to identify tested carriers. For DUMPS, the acronym DPC will be used to identify tested carriers. The acronym SMC will be used to identify carriers of SMC. The AJCA has asked the National Association of Animal Breeders to test all Jersey bulls being considered for A.I. programs for the undesirable genetic factors and provide results to the AJCA. Since so few animals were found to be carriers of the new undesirable characteristics, the chances of mating a carrier to a carrier are rare. However, Jersey breeders should be mindful that the conditions exist. More Information For more information on AJCA Board action on the new undesirable genetic conditions, see page 27 of the April issue of the Jersey Journal. For a complete description of each undesirable genetic condition and AJCA policies regarding undesirable genetic conditions, read the article “Policies Regarding Genetic Abnormalities” on page 27 of this issue of the magazine.

Meagan Chittenden, Olivia Pearson Receive Stout Experience Awards

Meagan Chittenden, Schodack Landing, N.Y., and Olivia Pearson, Lincolton, N.C., have been selected as the 2014 recipients of the Fred Stout Experience Awards. The fund supporting these awards was created in 2000 in memory of Fred J. Stout Sr., Mt. Carmel, Ill., a lifelong Jersey breeder and member of the Jersey Marketing Service staff from 1978 to 1997. Stout was instrumental in the growth of JMS marketing activities, and later added duties as a type evaluator and in customer field service for the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA). Stout believed that the best learning experiences happen in the everyday world. These awards honor that conviction by providing financial support for on-farm and JMS internship experiences. JMS Internship Recipient: Olivia Pearson Olivia Pearson will begin her internship with Jersey Marketing Service on May 15. She will assist with preparation, staging and wrap-up work for the company’s auction and private treaty sales through the 57th National Heifer Sale, June 27 in Alexandria, Va. Olivia has completed her second year in the advanced degree program at North Carolina State University. She has outlined a five-year program of study that will result in baccalaureate degrees in animal science and food science, plus an M.S. degree in animal science genetics. Her immediate career goal is to work for Jersey Marketing Service or an A.I. organization. Long term, she plans to return to the family operation, Piedmont Jerseys, to set up a facility for processing value-added Jersey milk products. An intensely focused student, Olivia has earned Dean’s List and International Dean’s List honors, and is also a member

of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars. Her extracurricular activities include the Dairy Science and Animal Science clubs, plus the Sigma Alpha professional agricultural sorority. She is also an ambassador for the NCSU College of Agriculture. Olivia won senior showmanship at The All American Junior Jersey Show in 2012, also placing gold in the National FFA dairy handler competition. She was crowned the 2013 North Carolina Jersey Queen and was the second runner-up in the National Jersey Queen Contest. Olivia was also a recipient of a Reuben R. Cowles Jersey Youth Award and selected for the third class of Jersey Youth Academy last year. Farm Experience Recipient: Meagan Chittenden Meagan Chittenden, Schodack Landing, N.Y., was selected for the onfarm experience award, which will be at Young’s Jersey Dairy Inc., one of the top agritourism attractions in the state of Ohio. She has completed her first year of studies at the State University of New York, Cobleskill, majoring in agricultural business. Born into the family that owns Dutch Hollow Farm LLC, Meagan has been involved in the Jersey business from an early age. Her dairy interests have expanded over years of 4-H work and participation in the Dairy Visions program to intersect with agri-business and the culinary arts. She worked for two years in various capacities, including ice cream manager, at O’Kenny’s Express in Valatie, N.Y., and completed an internship at The Light House Baker in Castleton. She also competed in the ProStart USA culinary competition as part of a team that created and executed a menu for a three-course meal. An outstanding student, Meagan wrote the script for Odyssey of the Mind competitions from 2010 through 2012. She also represented her county three times

at the annual 4-H State Teen Action Rep Retreat. She was selected as the Columbia County Dairy Princess for 2012-13, with promotion activities ranging from recording radio spots about the dairy industry, writing newspaper articles, and presenting programs about dairy products for students from pre-kindergarten through grade 8. Meagan has received awards in the New York, New England and National Jersey Youth Production contests. She was a member of the third class of Jersey Youth Academy.

Business Meeting Allison Ryan, the industry relations manager for American Dairy Association Mideast (ADA-Mideast), brought the group up-to-date on activities of the dairy industry’s check-off program. Partnerships with key players in the fast food industry continue to be a focus to promote consumption of dairy products. She noted that four employees at McDonald’s are working to incorporate dairy items in the menu. Milk is now the default beverage for the chain’s Happy Meals. ADA-Mideast is also collaborating with new brand partners, such as Taco Bell, which recently added yogurt parfait to its breakfast menu. Ryan said that Dominoes and Pizza Hut are adding more cheese to their products and Quaker Oats is developing an advertising campaign that promotes the use of milk to make its instant oatmeal. Chocolate milk is the official beverage of the Ohio High School Athletic Association and available to athletes after practice and other sporting events. The new promotion theme, “Respect the Game” and has been well received by Ohio dairy producers. The campaign strives to educate consumers on how dairy producers care for their animals and produce a high quality product. Ryan reported that six dollars in revenue are generated for every dollar spent by dairy farmers through the checkoff program by developing partnerships like these. She told the group that the national level program, “Got Milk,” is being replaced by a new program, “Milk Life,” which promotes the nutritional benefits of milk. Ryan also spoke about the Ohio Dairy Producers Association, a member organization that provides a voice for the dairy industry on policy issues related to water quality and livestock care.

Awards Program Highlight of Wisconsin Meeting Jersey breeders from Parish 8 hosted the annual meeting of the Wisconsin Jersey Breeders Association (WJBA) on March 1, 2014, at Knox’s Silver Valley Supper Club in Manitowoc. Members tended to organization business, honored adults and juniors for achievements and were treated to a tour of D & D Jerseys in Newton following the meeting. The Senior Jersey Breeder award was presented to Don Mielke, who owns AmeriMilk Farm in Menasha. He is the fifth generation to operate the farm, which has been in the family since the late 1800s. The resident dairy herd was Brown Swiss until he was 12, when the cows were sold. Mielke Mielke missed tending the cattle, so purchased a handful of Guernsey cows two years later and then began buying registered Holsteins by the time he was 17. The herd was primarily Holstein until 1998, when he purchased his first Jersey calf from a fundraiser held by the Calument County Holstein Breeders. When he delved into the issue of fertility and longevity, he saw Jersey advantages and purchased two more heifers from the Top of the World Sale. Over the years, several other key foundation animals were purchased. Today, the herd is primarily high-component little brown cows, with 38 of the 54 stalls being occupied by Jersey cows. AmeriMilk Farm raises all its bull calves to fulfill A.I. contracts, merchandise locally as herd bulls, or for sales of Jersey beef. The herd is enrolled on REAP and has a 2013 lactation average of 21,711 lbs. milk, 1,157 lbs. fat and 779 lbs. protein on 30 cows. The fat mark ranks sixth in the nation among herds with 10-39 cows. The farm is home to nine Excellent and 27 Very Good cows (none lower) and has an appraisal average of 86.1%. Mielke has developed several outstanding cow families over the years. One foundation purchase, Debcott Jades Tahoe, Excellent-92%, produced 22,000 lbs. milk, 1,391 lbs. fat and 798 lbs. protein at 4-1, which is a Hall of Fame record with 2,759 lbs. cheese yield. Her daughter, Ameri Milk Jace Tamara, is the highest appraised cow in the herd at Excellent-94%. She produced four Hall of Fame records and has lifetime totals Page 62

File Your Professional Cow Photos with Jersey Journal

What do pictures of your Jerseys say about your herd? Nothing if the Jersey Journal doesn’t have a copy of the picture on file. Now that show season is in full swing, the Jersey Journal reminds breeders that pictures of any class winners, as well as second place if that animal went on to place as a champion, will be published with respective show reports, provided that a photographic print is sent to the office. Photographers do not automatically send your pictures to the Jersey Journal office. When picturing your animals, please request that a 5” x 7” color copy or a digital file be sent to the Jersey Journal office. While you will incur the cost of this picture, the benefits will outweigh the cost in the long run. For example, if you decide to advertise that animal and the photograph is not on file, we will have to order it from the photographer. This is more expensive than ordering a print for the Journal files at the time the pictures are first made. Please note, in following copyright laws, the Jersey Journal must have a photographic print from the photographer in the office to use it for publication. Or if you have received a release from the photographer to send digital copies on to publications, those will also be accepted. A scanned reprint from a third party will not be accepted. Make the most of your investment in herd promotion by getting your animals professionally pictured. Remember to ask your photographer to send an additional copy to the Jersey Journal.

How a Junior Member Reserves a Prefix

Junior Awards Available

Throughout the year, awards for shows and production and judging contests are provided by the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) at events specifically for Jersey juniors. For junior shows at county, district, and state levels, the AJCA will provide ribbons for the first, second, and third place animals, plus a Grand Champion rosette. In addition to the rosette, a special award is provided for the Grand Champion at state fairs and AJCA-designated regional shows. Awards are also provided for showmanship contests Page 80

exclusively for Jersey juniors. Awards must be requested annually. Contact the AJCA Director of Development at 614/322-4456, at least two weeks in advance of the event. Regretfully, requests made within two weeks of the show date cannot be filled.

Any junior that has a customer number can reserve a prefix. There is a $10 fee for the service. The only time there is no charge for a pref ix is when a lifetime membership to the association is purchased. Juniors must be members of the American Jersey Cattle Association to be eligible for Production Awards, Youth Acheivement Contest, Pot O’Gold Contest, Scholarships and showing at The All American Junior Jersey Show. Junior memberships are free to youth between the ages of seven and 20. For more information on becoming a junior member or purchasing a lifetime membership, contact the Herd Services Department at 614.861.3636. JERSEY JOURNAL

She has a dozen complete lactations and a best record of 7-2 305 21,550 4.4% 957 3.5% 750 94DCR. President’s Trophy and Hilmar Cheese Yield Trophy The President’s Trophy is awarded annually to the Jersey cow with the highest m.e. protein yield during the test year and has been presented since 1923. The Hilmar Cheese Yield Trophy is presented to the cow with the highest yield of 38% moisture Cheddar cheese, calculated from actual production of no more than 305 days and completed during the calendar year. The award was first given in 1992. For the 12th time, a Registered Jersey has earned both the President’s Trophy and the Hilmar Cheese Yield Trophy in the same year. In her first lactation, Highview TBone Vodka produced a record with an m.e. of 42,605–2,076–1,673 to win the President’s Trophy for protein production. Actual production on the 305-day record is 33,600 lbs. milk, 1,651 lbs. fat and 1,312 lbs. protein at 2-1. The cheese yield equivalent of 4,465

may 2014

lbs. earns the Hilmar Cheese Yield Trophy for 2013. The record is the current National Class Leader for protein and cheese yield among junior three year olds and ranks second for milk and fourth for fat. The Excellent-91% daughter of Richies Jace TBone A364, GJPI +127, freshened with her first calf—a heifer by PF Lennox Hendrix, GJPI +155—in May 2012 to begin the winning lactation. “Vodka” gave 80 lbs. milk on her first test in May just 10 days fresh and then peaked with 145 lbs. milk for her July test. She gave more than 100 lbs. milk for the next five tests and was producing 96 lbs. milk when she was due to be dried off in March 2013. “Vodka” freshened with her second calf in late May and continued the same pattern she had set in her first lactation, with 80 lbs. milk on her first test a week fresh. She gave

140 lbs. milk in June, peaked at 142 lbs. in August and gave more than 100 lbs. milk for the next four tests. She gave 84 lbs. milk for her March test at 300 days fresh and has a projected m.e. of 37,596–1,887–1,475. Component tests have reached as high as 6.3% fat and 4.8% protein in this lactation. Though “Vodka” is the leading lady for production and type at Highview Farms, she faces competition at the feed bunk from several other members of the milking string, including six others who produced records over 27,000 lbs. milk last year. The 157-cow herd ranks fifth in the nation for milk and fat production and fourth for protein among herds with 150-299 cows with an AJCA lactation average of 21,210 lbs. milk, 1,003 lbs. fat and 764 lbs. protein. Highview Farms also ranks among the top 25% REAP herds in the nation with a herd average JPI of +65.

Active A.I. Bulls Ranked By GJPI, April 2014 The 123 Jersey bulls listed are coded as Active A.I. for the April 2014 CDCB-AJCA Sire Summary. Bulls have a minimum 70% Reliability and are ranked by Genomic Jersey Performance IndexTM (GJPI) which combines production and type trait information into a single economic index. JPI includes six factors: 42% PTA Protein, 15% PTA Fat, 15% FTI, 12% PTA PL, 10% PTA DPR, and 6% PTA SCS. The nine bulls that are not genomically tested, are listed with their traditionally calculated evaluation. These 123 bulls average +588M, +42F, +26P; for Lifetime Net Merit, Cheese Merit +$330; Net Merit +$295, and Fluid Merit +$270. Other group averages are Somatic Cell Score, 3.01; Productive Life, +2.0; JUI, +2.35; DPR, 0.0; Final Score, +1.0; and NAME OF BULL

REG NUMBER GT JHI

JPI +119. Appraisal Trait Rankings Predicted Transmitting Abilities (PTA) for each of the 15 breakdown traits, final score, and Jersey Udder Index (JUI) are provided on the opposite page. There are six two-way traits among the 15 listed: Foot Angle (low or steep); Rear Legs (posty to sickle); Rump Angle (high to low); Teat Placement (wide to close); Udder Depth (deep to shallow); and Teat Length (long to short). The PTAs for linear traits (with the exception of body depth) are used in the JPI calculation and are weighted by their relative economic value in increasing net income.

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

and genomic testing and when his OA dam is genomically tested and qualified as at least 75% Jersey by approved methods. Males qualified for GR Registry status and not used for artificial insemination (A.I.) must be parentage qualified by an AJCA-approved method. For bulls used for A.I. purposes, GR registry status will be assigned only after a male is both parentage qualified and genomically tested using approved methods. JH1 Status Animals that have been determined to be carriers (C) or non-carriers (F) of the Jersey Haplotyte 1 are identfied under the JH1 heading on the previous page. For more information, contact AJCA Herd Services.

JERSEY JOURNAL

Top 75 Polled Females with Genomic Evaluations by GJPI, April 2014 The top 75 Jersey Polled females—cows and heifers—with genomic evaluations are listed, ranked by their Genomic Jersey Performance Index™ (GJPI). To qualify for this list, cows must (1) have registry status of HR (no prefix), GR or PR; (2) have a genomic genetic evaluation; (3) must have calved within the past 27 months; and (4) not have a termination code associated with the current lactation. Heifers must (1) have registry status of HR or GR, (2) be no older than three years-of-age on April 1, 2014, and (3) not have a GPTA based on lactation information.

Genomic evaluations are calculated by the Animal Improvement Programs Laboratory from the following information sources, identified in the column labeled GT: 3K, genotype from lowdensity 3K chip; 6K, genotype BovineLD chip; 8K, genotype from GeneSeek Genomic Profiler chip; 50K, genotype from original 50K chip; GI, genotype imputed from genotypes of progeny, but the animal is not genotyped; or GA, evaluation includes information from genotypes or imputed genotypes of ancestors, but the animal is not genotyped.

JERSEY JOURNAL

Top 200 Cows for Jersey Performance Index (Traditional), April 2014 appraisal information used in the JPI calculation are distinguished by a “0” in the number of type records (REC) column. JPI combines production and type trait information into a single economic index, includes six factors with weighted averages of 42% PTA Protein, 15% PTA Fat, 15% FTI, 12% PTA PL, 10% PTA DPR, and 6% PTA SCS. The cows average +1,468M, +64F, +48P and JPI +196 with average Reliability of 52%. Lifetime Net Merit indexes are Cheese Merit +$485; Net Merit +$454, and Fluid Merit +$438.

The top 200 cows ranked by traditionally calculated Jersey Premformance IndexTM (JPI) from the April 2014 CDCB-AJCA genetic evaluations are listed below. These cows have not been genomically tested and do not have a genomic evaluation (GPTA). These cows must have calved within the past 27 months and have at least one lactation of 100 days or more. Cows lacking linear appraisal information are included in the JPI ranking by using a Parent Average estimate for FTI, provided the cow was under four years of age on April 1, 2014.

JERSEY JOURNAL

In Memoriam Sylvia Lucy Eden Marchant Davis Marsh Sylvia Lucy Eden Marchant Davis Marsh, Old Lyme, Conn., 101, passed away May 16, 2013. She was born in 1912 in Kilmacolm, Scotland, one of six children and the daughter of an Anglican minister. She was sailing to the U.S. in 1939 when England declared war on Germany. Soon after, she took up permanent residence in Old Lyme. She married the late E. Lea Marsh Jr., a prominent attorney and former Speaker of the Connecticut House of Representatives, in 1950. Lea was a president and director of the American Jersey Cattle Club (AJCC) and a chair of the World Jersey Cattle Bureau. He received the AJCC Distinguished Service Award in 1970. The pair traveled the globe promoting Jerseys and made regular visits to her native land. Though she retained her British citizenship and customs, she enjoyed the American free spirit. On her 100th birthday, she was gratified to receive a personal letter from Queen Elizabeth II acknowledging her unflinching loyalty to the crown. The Marshes operated Pioneer Farm in Old Lyme. The farm exhibited four National Grand Champions, three winners of the National Jersey Jug Futurity and a former national milk champion. One of the cows used by Borden as “Elsie” was bred at Pioneer Farm. Sylvia was a member of the American Jersey Cattle Association. For many years, the family has sponsored the trophy (now called the Mary Smith Leas Memorial Award) for the winning entry in the National Jersey Jug Futurity. Marsh was most proud of her watercolor artistry and became an elected artist in the Lyme Art Association in her late 80s based on her current work. She was also well known for her intricate hand-painted Christmas cookies. Until her last days, she taught creative writing in her home. For most of her mature years, late nights would find her curled up in her chair, working difficult crossword puzzles whose margins had been filled with sketches of every face she had seen on television that evening. She also wrote beautiful poetry and funny children’s stories. She is survived by two sons, Dr. George Peter Beardsley of Old Lyme and James Timothy Beardsley of Charlestown, R.I.; twin daughters, Elizabeth Lea Marsh and Jane Rowley Marsh, both of Old Lyme; a step-daughter, Carol McCord of Port may 2014

Washington, N.Y.; a step-son, Edward G. Marsh of Old Lyme; a sister, Denise “Jane” Ashworth of Storrs, Conn.; and many grandchildren.

Robert Clyde Smith Jr. Robert Clyde Smith Jr., Boaz, Ala., 81, passed away October 19, 2013. He was born in Marshall County on January 1, 1932, to the late Robert Clyde Smith Sr. and Ruby Canola Elrod Smith. He grew up on his family’s dairy and poultry farm in Boaz, then known as Sunnyside Farm Dairy. He earned a bachelor’s degree in animal husbandry from Auburn University and then served his country as a radio operator during the Korean Conflict, stationed in Alaska. After service, he taught school, was employed in the agricultural supply industry and worked with the Jupiter rocket system at the Redstone Arsenal before returning to a career in agriculture. Smith worked in the poultry industry for Arbor Acres in Albertville, Ala., Wallace Hatcheries in Dade City, Fla., and Hi-Line Chicks, Dothan, Ala. Smith returned home to Sunnyside Farm Dairy to farm in partnership with his father in 1971 and renamed the herd MyT-Fine Jerseys in 1979. My-T-Fine Jerseys was enrolled on the American Jersey Cattle Association’s (AJCA) TPE program in 1976 and then ranked nationally for milk or fat production each of the next six years. Smith bred and developed many outstanding Registered Jerseys through the years, including several that commanded premium prices in elite Jersey sales. My-T-Fine MMC Grace, Excellent-93%, topped the Waverly Sale in 1986 for $13,000. MyT-Fine Choice Addition, Excellent-92%, sold in the Kentucky National Sale the following year for $11,000. The herd was dispersed in 1993. Smith served on boards of the Morgan County Farmers Cooperative, Alabama DHIA and Southeast DHIA. He was a member of the AJCA and Sardis Baptist Church. He will be remembered for his love of God, family and Jersey cows. He is survived by his wife of 61 years, Sue B. Smith of Boaz; sons Bobby (Laura) Smith of Georgia, and Bart (Julie) Smith of Clay; and a daughter, Linda (Tommy) Turner of Boaz. Memorials may be made to National Dairy Shrine, P.O. Box 725, Denmark, WI 54208, or the Georgia Dairy Youth Foundation, 1641 New High Shoals Rd., Suite 5, Watkinsville, GA 30677.

Dr. Steven R. Close Dr. Steven R. Close, Millersburg, Ohio,

62, passed away peacefully March 19, 2014, with his family by his side.

He earned a bachelor’s degree in science and agriculture from Ohio State University (OSU) in 1973 and then a doctorate in veterinary medicine from the school in 1977. He was a member of Chi Phi Fraternity. Close married Linda Morris in June 1974. He opened a veterinary practice in Berlin in 1978 and took over operation of the family Jersey farm with Linda in 1982. The dairy was one of the top herds in the state for production. In 1982, he also became a veterinary supervisor for the Ohio Department of Agriculture Division of Meat Inspection. He retired as the assistant chief for the department. Close was a member of the American Jersey Cattle Association. He also was an adviser for the Skillful Squeezers 4-H Club and sat on the board of the Holmes County 4-H Committee. He served as veterinarian for the Holmes County Fair and was an 18-year member of USDA’s Farm Service Agency Committee.

cow Registered Jersey dairy in Hilmar, with his sons, Robert and Victor, and bred Jerseys using the Phil prefix. He, with 11 other Jersey breeders, founded the Hilmar Cheese Company and also helped to form Jerseyland Sires. He received the Master Breeder Award from the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) in 1992. Fanelli got his start in the dairy business in 1950 at the age of 17 when he went to work for Frank Hopkins, a wellknown Holstein breeder, in the Santa Clara Valley. He became a herdsman for Registered Jersey breeder H.I. “Tom” Sawyer of Hughson in 1956. It was here he learned about the Jersey breed and honed his cattle selection skills. Fanelli began dairying on his own in 1966 in Empire, Calif., with a small herd of 30 cows. He purchased the current farm in Hilmar in 1972. The family has contributed to Project Equity since 1977 and enrolled on REAP when it was introduced in 1995. Though Fanelli had an early goal to breed a herd of cows that would win blue ribbons and give enough milk to pay the bills, he revised this philosophy after the purchase of the Hilmar farm, striving to breed a herd of cows that would milk and compete in a commercial setting. Among the standouts he developed was Goodnow Midnight Blue-ET, Excellent-93%, whom he purchased from Goodnow Jersey Farm Inc., Turner, Maine, in partnership with Eric Silva, Beaver, Ore., in 1989. She sent a dozen sons to A.I., including Midnight Storm-ET, who was syndicated at The All American Jersey Sale in 1991 for $42,000.

Though he placed several bulls of his own breeding in A.I., Fanelli also influenced the breed through his role with Jerseyland Sires. Fanelli placed the ad in the Jersey Journal that started Jerseyland Sires and traveled with other members of the sire committee across country to find bulls suitable for the group. Among the many bulls who received early proofs through Jerseyland Sires and were then purchased by major A.I. organizations was Highland Magic Duncan, who was purchased by Select Sires Inc. and then led the list of Active A.I. bulls for six genetic evaluations. Fanelli was one of 12 Jersey breeders who founded the Hilmar Cheese Company in 1984 to maximize the value of their high-component milk. The company is now the largest singlesite processer of cheese and whey in the world. Production capacity was expanded in 2007 with the completion of a second processing facility in Dalhart, Texas. During the 1970s, Fanelli helped to reactivate the Central Valley Jersey Breeders and the California Jersey Cattle Club, which presented him with the Senior Breeder Award in 1979. Fanelli was a mentor to dairy producers getting a start in the business, many of whom have influenced the breed in major ways. He was a dairy 4-H leader for more than five decades. He served on the Merced County 4-H Dairy Replacement Heifer Committee and the Merced County 4-H council, where he also served as president. Fanelli was a past board member of the Merced County Fair and the Los Banos County Fair and a founder of petting zoos at both fairs.

He is a former board president of Merced County DHIA and also sat on the organization’s state board of directors. He was active with Hilmar Grange and president of the Hilmar Chamber of Commerce. Fanelli donated heifers to the University of CaliforniaDavis department of animal science for teaching and research. Fanelli was a camp counselor and member of the Merced County Special Olympics Committee and volunteered at Kings View, a center for adults with developmental and other disabilities. He received the Citizen of the Year award from Hilmar Chamber of Commerce and the Lou Merrill Award from the Western Fair for creation of the petting zoo at the Merced County Fair. He and his wife, Nadine, were named Grand Marshals of the Merced County Spring Fair in 2007. Fanelli also was a member of the Calvary Assembly of Hilmar. Though his passion was his cows, he also had a great love for horses and mules. Most of all, Fanelli enjoyed spending time with his family. In addition to his wife of 62 years, Nadine Barbara Fanelli, and sons and daughters-in-law, Robert and Karen and Victor and Robin, he is survived by a third son, Philip (Kris) Fanelli of Hilmar; three daughters, Denise (Tom) Cassell of Clovis, Debra Hunt of Livermore and Terry (Calvin) Hobbs of New Mexico; a brother, Ben (Shirley) Fanelli of Turlock; a sister, Isabel (John) Nannini of San Jose; 17 grandchildren; and 13 greatgrandchildren. He was preceded in death by a brother, Steve Fanelli, and a great-granddaughter.
