Cow Pie Bingo is Back for 2021
Early “Renfrow” Daughter Donated for 2021 Cow Pie Bingo Fundraiser
SSI - GF 10637 Renfrow 2442-ET, a member of the Jersey ART program at Select Sires Inc., Plain City, Ohio, will be the 10th Cow Pie Bingo calf to benefit Jersey Youth Academy.
Select Sires, a long-time host of Jersey Youth Academy, has donated “Renfrow 2442” to be raffled at this year’s AJCANAJ Annual Meetings, June 23-26, in Bettendorf, Iowa.
“2442” is a daughter of S-S-I Victory Dashiell Renfrow-ET, GJPI +122, and out of Roc-Bot Dance Off 10637. The calf has been genomically tested and her preliminary results are impressive with a combined CFP of over 100. Her official results will be available in early June.
The dam, “Dance Off 10637” was purchased in the Franchise Kind 3 Sale in March 2019. She will be appraised in early June. She has milk weights up to 83 lbs. daily on her first lactation. She is sired by Progenesis Dancer-ET, GJPI +87. She carries a GJPI of +126.
The next dam is an Excellent-91% daughter of Missiska Mackenzie-ET, GJPI +71. She has a top record of 20,560 lbs. milk, 1,062 lbs. fat and 837 lbs. protein at 2-10.
“2442’s” great-grandam is Very Good84% with a 3-4 record of 19,070 lbs. milk, 909 lbs. fat and 662 lbs. protein. She is followed by a daughter of Gabys Showtime Baltimore-ET with three records exceeding 20,000 lbs. milk, 1,000 lbs. fat and 700 lbs. protein.
The ART program at Select Sires was created in 2009 to develop Holsteins that were genetically unique compared to those found in the general population. Since that time, Select Sires has expanded the ART (Aggressive Reproductive Technologies) to the Jersey breed as well. Deep Jersey pedigrees are a focus of the Jersey ART program, much like the pedigree of the donation heifer, “2442.”
Cow Pie Bingo begins when registration opens on Wednesday, June 23 for the AJCA-NAJ Annual Meetings at the Isle Casino Hotel in Bettendorf. The heifer will determine the winner before the start of the National Heifer Sale on Friday, June 25.
Jersey Youth Academy is a 501(c)(3) educational foundation managed by the American Jersey Cattle Association to attract, educate and retain talented young people for careers in the Jersey dairy business. Cow Pie Bingo to date has raised more than $60,000 for the Academy endowment.
The seventh Jersey Youth Academy will be held July 11-16, 2021. Thirty-one Jersey youth from 15 states will be in attendance. See the Academy home page at http://bit.do/JYA, email Academy@ usjersey.com, or write 6486 E. Main Street, Reynoldsburg, OH 43068.

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.
Thursday, July 1 is the deadline to apply for scholarship and educational awards administered by the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA), Reynoldsburg, Ohio.

Eligible applicants are Junior or Lifetime members of the association with a minimum grade point average of 2.5 (on a 4.0 scale).

The Paul Jackson Memorial Scholarship ($2,000) is for continuing college students in any degree program area. The AJCA Directors’ Scholarship ($2,500) will be awarded based on academic performance, activities and accomplishments with Jersey cattle and commitment to continued involvement in the Jersey dairy business.

The recipient of the Anne E. Perchard Challenge Award ($350) will be selected from among applicants for the national achievement contest and/or scholarship program to recognize abilities and leadership potential and, in turn, challenging the recipient to achieve his/her potential through continuing Jersey activities.
Also, the Reuben R.

Contributions are recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as 501(c)(3) tax deductible charitable gifts and may be made at any time during the year.

Three Jersey Youth Receive Fred Stout Experience Awards
Hannah Diehl, McVeytown, Pa., Elizabeth Gross, New Ringgold, Pa., and Meghan Hettinga, Orange City, Iowa, have been selected as the 2020-2021 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 (JMS) 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.
Stout believed that the best learning experiences happen in the everyday world. These awards honor that conviction by providing financial support for two paid internships each year, one on-farm and the other with JMS.
JMS Internship Recipients: Hannah Diehl and Elizabeth Gross
Two Pennsylvania Jersey youth have been selected to work with JMS during 2021.
Hannah Diehl began her internship with JMS on May 23. She will assist with the preparation, staging and wrap-up work for the company’s public auctions, online and private treaty sales including the 64th National Heifer Sale, June 25 in Donahue, Iowa.
Hannah was selected as the 2020 Fred Stout recipient, but due to COVID-19 the internship was postponed until 2021.
She is a student at Penn State University and will graduate in 2022 with a bachelor’s degree in animal science with a business option. At Penn State, Hannah is active with the Penn State Dairy Science Club where she served as the Dairy Expo Show Manager in 2020. She is also a member of the dairy judging team.
When not in school, Hannah is an integral part of her family’s farm—Musser Run Jerseys. She helps with record keeping and registering the newborn calves. In addition, she monitors breeding records and offers suggestions on matings. She assists with milking the 170 Registered Jerseys when able.
Hannah was a member of Class VI of Jersey Youth Academy. She placed seventh in the 2018 National Jersey Youth Achievement Contest and received the Anne E. Perchard Challenge Award the same year. She served the Pennsylvania Jersey Cattle Association as their state Queen in 2019.
The second Fred Stout Experience winner for JMS is Elizabeth Gross. She is the 2021 recipient.
She is a May 2021 graduate of Penn State University with a bachelor’s degree in animal science with a business option. At Penn State, Elizabeth was a member of the Penn State Dairy Judging Team. She placed 13th overall and 3rd in individual reasons at the 2020 online intercollegiate judging contest. She served as treasurer of the Penn State Dairy Science Club and was a member of the Nittany Lion Fall Classic Sale committee. She also volunteered with the All-American Dairy Show assisting with check in and clerking.
Elizabeth is the owner of EVEL Jerseys. The herd of seven cows has an average appraisal score of 86%. In addition to working with her own herd, she interned with Billings Farm and Museum in 2019. While there she learned skills from shadowing the manager and assistant manager and learning their decision-making process. She assisted with rotation, care and feeding of the milking herd and heifer groups, monitored herd health and worked with the nursery heifers.
Elizabeth will begin her internship ex-
Diehl Gross Farm Experience Internship Recipient: Meghan Hettinga
Meghan Hettinga’s internship supported by the Fred Stout Experience Fund will be at Cinnamon Ridge Dairy, Donahue, Iowa, with a focus on on-farm processing and interacting with consumers.
Meghan is a senior at South Dakota State University (SDSU) majoring in dairy production. She has a minor in communication studies and agribusiness marketing.
At SDSU, she is a member of the track team and the dairy club. She currently serves as historian of the Dairy Club and serves on the Executive Team. She manages the groups social media accounts and has designed and managed the sale of club apparel.

Meghan is currently serving as the Iowa Dairy Princess, a goodwill ambassador for the Iowa dairy farmers.
She was a member of Class VI of Jersey Youth Academy and received the Paul Jackson Memorial Scholarship from the AJCA in 2020. She was a finalist in the National Jersey Queen contest and received the Iowa Jersey Cattle Club Youth Achievement award.
Growing up on her family’s 150 head Registered Jersey farm has fueled Meghan’s passion for the dairy industry. In 2020, she was the Dairy Production Intern for Riverview LLP. This position gave Meghan an experience of working with a large commercial dairy. During school she works as a research animal technician where she works with a variety of animal species involved in studies.
Meghan’s experience at Cinnamon Ridge Dairy will run from May 24 to August 6.

A new year, and parents’ thoughts turn to, “What are the kids’ project animals going to be this year?”
The next question goes like this:
Please advise me as to what steps a junior (under 20 years of age) needs to take in order to show a Jersey at all shows. Can an animal be leased or does the animal need to be transferred into the junior’s ownership?
The answer is simple. File a transfer of
ownership so that the junior is listed as a Recorded Owner on the registration certificate.
Ownership rules vary from state to state. Some do allow leasing. Others allow animals to be registered in the farm name, but require that paperwork be completed and filed certifying that an animal is the junior’s 4-H or FFA project.
What about the All American Junior Jersey Show, the biggest junior Jersey show of the year? The ownership policy is as follows:
Animals are eligible when recorded by the American Jersey Cattle Association in the Herd Register or with Generation Count 4 or greater, or by Jersey Canada with registry status of 93.75% and greater. The exhibitor must be listed as Recorded Owner on the registration certificate, either (1) as the sole owner or (2) by his/ her name in joint ownership. If the joint ownership includes more than one person meeting the eligibility requirements of Rule 1 (above), one of them must be declared as the exhibitor during checkin. Animals must be registered and/or transferred to meet one of the above ownership requirements on or before August 1, 2021. The recording date is the postmark date and will be considered the date of registration and/or transfer.
To read more about the implementation of Generation Count for national shows, please visit http://bit.do/ShowRules.
So, submit the transfer of ownership as soon as you figure out which animals are going to be the projects this year. That one step will save you the effort of researching the exhibitor ownership requirements for all the shows you are considering.
A final note: Exhibitors at the All American Junior Jersey Show are also required to be members (junior or lifetime) of the American Jersey Cattle Association. Applications for membership are available online at http://bit.do/JuniorMembership.

Dairy Products Among America’s Favorite Foods
Cheese, ice cream and pizza made the list of America’s 30 favorite foods according to a survey conducted by loveFOOD and recently published in the lifestyle section of Microsoft News.
Pizza got the nod as the country’s favorite food. It was the food most people would choose if they could eat just one thing for the rest of their lives. One in eight people in the U.S. eat pizza on any given day and more than half eat frozen pizza.
A major component of pizza—cheese— made the list too. Americans consume 40 lbs. of cheese on average each year, with mozzarella leading the way.
Ice cream was named as America’s favorite frozen dessert. Every year, Americans consume 22 lbs. of ice cream on average. A pair of standbys, vanilla and chocolate, are the most commonly

The bar for series high seller of the New York Next Generation Sale was raised this year with the auction of a fancy-pedigreed heifer calf for $8,500. The previous record of $6,000 was established in 2014 when the sale, formerly known as the New York Spring Sale, underwent a format and name change.

The 2021 edition of the Wisconsin State Jersey Sale was conducted online through JerseyBid.com for the seventh time. The sale opened for bids on May 3, 2021, and then closed in real time on May 6. The setup is a win-win for buyer and seller alike. Sellers can set minimum prices for their consignments and do not incur trucking costs to a sale venue. Buyers can shop for Registered Jerseys anywhere using a device of their choice and can view photos and video footage of consignments in their working clothes on the farm. Cattle can be shipped when it is convenient and do not have to undergo the stress of shipping to both sale and new home.
