The Jersey Journal assumes no liability for errors or omissions. The Jersey Journal does not guarantee quality, delivery time, or availability of items ordered from commercial advertisers. Any advertisements for sales before the 20th of the month of the publication cannot be guaranteed.
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.

AJCA PROGRAMS
Genomic Test Center Now Available
J
ersey breeders can now manage genomic information ‘round the clock from virtually any location with the new Genomic Testing Center introduced by the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA). The center can be accessed through infoJersey. com to order genotyping kits, check the status of current orders and access evaluations for genotyped animals. This AJCA service includes a history of animals that have been tested in all labs that have identified the animals with registration numbers. The AJCA developed this service center because of the growth of genotyping, which has changed the face of dairy cattle breeding as much as any other single technology in the past five decades. Since the first genomic evaluations for Jerseys were released in October 2008, genetic gain has been catapulted forward. Young genotyped bulls are now siring more registered daughters than their proven peers and genetic evaluations for fitness and yield traits are improving faster than ever. Low-density, low-cost genotyping tests have brought genotyping to the herd level and made the technology useful for all management styles. Jersey breeders can now use DNA information to verify parentage, assist with parentage identity of purchased animals, select donor dams for

the embryo transfer program and eliminate less promising animals from the herd. Addon tests can determine an animal’s status for the polled/horned gene, beta-casein A1/A2 or BVD-PI. As well, an add-on test can determine whether a twin is a breeder or a freemartin. In the coming months, genomic information will be included in computer mating programs, with a primary aim to reduce actual levels of inbreeding for specific matings of males and females. As more and more animals are genotyped, progress is not only being made at the herd level, but the breed level as well. It is imperative that Jersey breeders step up the pace to discover genes that will continue the breed’s competitive edge for reproduction and components or contribute to the discovery of unknown benefits. As the technology advances, Jersey breeders will continue to get more bang for their genotyping buck. Costs for lowdensity chips have held while the number of SNPs included in the test has increased. Current genotyping fees are shown in the table below. It is relatively easy for Jersey breeders enrolled on REAP to justify the cost of genotyping every heifer in the herd. For a REAP herd of 160 cows that has 100 heifers born each year, the annual genotyping investment would be $3,700. To recoup this,
the herd owner would need to merchandise just one top-rated heifer or 2-3 average bred heifers or eliminate several heifers that don’t measure up from a genetic standpoint or are unthrifty. The balance of this article is a step-bystep guide that shows you how to order genotyping tests and manage information for animals that are being or have been recently genotyped. Getting Started The AJCA Genomic Testing Center uses a simple “shopping cart method” to order genotyping kits for males and females. Jersey breeders can also view a history of previously ordered kits, see genomic evaluations for their genotyped animals and print paperwork for genotyping kits. To access the Genomic Testing Center, log into infoJersey.com. To get started, select “Services” on the tab at the top of the page and then “Genomic Testing Center” from the drop down menu (screen shot 1).

also help the breed toot its own horn. A big push for NAJ right now is to get component pricing adopted in the southeast Federal Orders. Describe the milk market in your area, which includes many cheese companies. Do you have many options for marketing your milk? In my area, there are is a tremendous number of cheese plants looking for high component milk. In Wisconsin, if we don’t like what we are getting for our milk from our current buyer, we have the benefit of being able to switch to a half dozen other buyers. Most plants here are paying a premium for protein. More are learning they do not want pounds of water, but pounds of solids. We currently sell our milk to Saputo, which bought out the former Alto Cooperative. When Alto was initially sold, Saputo phased out their protein premiums and lost a good number of their high component producers, including me. They brought back the premiums when they realized they needed them to bring in high component milk and be profitable. That was the point we switched and sold to Saputo again. You started your dairying career with Holsteins. So why did you decide to add Jerseys to the herd? I grew up with Holsteins and always figured I’d be milking Holsteins. I first considered Jerseys when the stalls in the barn I bought were too small for Holsteins. But when I pushed the pencil for efficiency, bought some Jerseys and actually witnessed their efficiency, I made a complete switch to Jerseys. Having milked both breeds, what Jersey advantages are most important to you and the reason you have continued to milk Jerseys? The most important advantage for me is feed efficiency. But longevity and herd health costs are huge advantages for me as well. What advice have you given others when they ask about milking Jerseys versus Holsteins? Are you in the business to make money or milk cows? If you want to make money, you need to milk Jerseys. Describe the growth potential for Jerseys in your region. Have you seen a change in the industry since you’ve been milking cows? Growth potential for Jerseys is tremendous. The challenge is in finding enough Jerseys to meet that demand. Many large dairies here are starting to milk Jerseys, including one dairy producer who milks OCTOBER 2014
more than 30,000 cows and has remodeled the facilities to handle Jerseys. More and more milk plants are sending signals that they want high component milk. We just don’t have enough Jersey cows here because of the high price of Jerseys and the cost of getting them here from other parts of the country. Do your children plan to pursue dairy careers? If so, what careers have they chosen and what changes have you made in herd management to give your children an option to dairy at the home farm? All of my children plan to pursue careers
in the dairy industry, either here on the farm or in some other manner. Vinny enjoys the outdoors and working with crops and machinery. The dairy herd provides him with the opportunity to pursue this passion. Sydney is especially interested in agri-tourism. Education of the public is her thing and she is happiest when she is giving a tour of the farm. With our close proximity to the highway and major cities, we may consider having a farm store and visitor center for the public. Mitchell, a college freshman, is interested in the dairy industry as a whole and is just beginning to discover options he has for working in this industry. Page 29

JERSEY JOURNAL
Jersey enthusiasts who follow coverage of The All American Jersey shows may notice the term “Premier Performance” in advertisements and reports in the Jersey Journal. The designation is for milking individuals that achieve a top ranking in their age class at The All American and combine it with outstanding genetic merit and production performance. Two premier performance awards are given in individual classes at both the open and junior shows. As well, overall awards with monetary prizes are given to 20 cows in the open show and 16 cows in the junior show. In this month’s Jersey Jargon column, we’ll take a closer look at how the premier performance award is calculated. Premier Performance Points The first premier performance award was given at The All American Jersey Show in 1995. The award was included with The All American Junior Jersey
OCTOBER 2014
Show three years later. In essence, the premier performance award is a total performance award that is based on points accumulated in three different measures. Cows are ranked on a 100-point scale, with placing rank in the age class worth 50 points; rank for genetic merit as measured by Jersey Performance Index (JPI) or Genomic JPI worth 25 points; and rank for production as measured by CDCB yield deviation (YD) worth 25 points. Ties are broken based on the cow’s placing within her respective class. Overall Premier Performance Winner The two top cows from each class also qualify for the overall show. They retain their placing points from the individual class but are re-ranked for genetic merit and production performance. The Overall Premier Performance Cow is the individual with the greatest number of accumulated points. Ties will be broken first by the cows’ placing within the original class; second by YD rank; and third by highest rank for actual pounds milk within the class. The top 20 placings in the open show and top 16 placings in the junior show receive monetary prizes. In the open show,
the Premier Performance Cow receives prize winnings of $2,000; the Reserve Premier Performance Cow earns $1,000. Third through 20th place receive $250 each. In the junior show, the Premier Performance Cow earns a cash prize of $500; the Reserve Premier Performance Cow receives $250. Third place receives $125 and fourth through 16th place earn $75. This year’s All American Jersey Show will be held November 10 at the Kentucky Fair and Exposition Center, in Louisville, Ky., beginning at 7:30 a.m. The All American Junior Jersey Show will be held November 8 beginning at 8:00 a.m. The National Jersey Jug Futurity will be held November 9 beginning at 1:00 p.m. Michael Heath, Westminster, Md., will judge the open show and Justin Burdette, Mercersburg, Pa., will officiate the junior show. Mike Berry, Albany, Ore., will be the official for the futurity.

NAJ EQUITY PROGRAM
Equity Honor Roll
S
ince June 1976, when Project Equity was kicked off at the AJCA-NAJ Annual Meetings, dairy producers have invested more than $11.2 million in the program through 2013 to establish an equitable pricing system for milk marketed in the U.S. Without doubt, it is one of the most successful programs in the history of the dairy industry. Through participation in REAP, direct contribution, or milk check assignment, thousands of dairy producers have contributed to Project Equity over the years. A special thank

Call Issued for Jersey Research Proposals
The AJCC Research Foundation has issued a request for research proposals to be funded in 2015 addressing significant issues for the Jersey breed and Jersey milk producers. Current priorities for research funding are: • Nutrition of high-producing Jerseys, particularly practical feeding methods to maximize production of valuable milk components; • Factors affecting management of Jersey calves; • Factors affecting yield and/or quality of products manufactured from Jersey milk; • Factors affecting economic impact of Jerseys: efficiencies, net income, longevity, and lifetime profit; • Optimizing the genetic basis for improving animal health and/or enhancing product quality; • Enhancing environmental impact associated with Jerseys; • New technologies for safe and sustainable food production from Jersey cattle; and • Feasibility of adding value and increasing consumer acceptance of Jersey-derived products through enhanced product quality and branding. Submissions are evaluated for (a) merit (e.g., potential to advance practical knowledge, creative approach to the problem); (b) competence (i.e., high probability of successful completion within the proposed time frame); and (c) relevance (e.g., problem derived from one of the areas of research priority). Application deadline is December 1, 2014. The AJCA Research Advisory Committee will evaluate the proposals, then forward its funding recommendations in

Living the All American Dream at Stoney Point
ulie Mayer grew up in West Virginia as the second child in a rural family, with all brothers. She did not grow up on a farm nor breed or show Jerseys. She had never even milked a cow before she met John Mayer from Maryland. Then a boy and girl met, and the rest, as they say in stories, “is history.” Then and Now Growing up John helped his grandfather on the farm. When his grandfather passed away, John milked cows for other dairy producers in the area during summer vacations from school. John graduated from Frostburg State University (FSU) with a double major in economics and business but always had a passion for farming. After graduation from FSU, and while working in the family business in College Park, Md., he attended the University of Maryland and took dairy science classes. It was not until after their marriage, that John and Julie had the opportunity to purchase the current Stoney Point Farm located in Taneytown, Md. Julie and John worked together in the day-to-day operation of their small dairy while raising their two children, Ashley and Sean. Early on a neighbor, Leroy Savage, helped the couple select 25 head of Holsteins to be the foundation of their herd. In 1994, when Ashley was staring 4-H, they bought four Jerseys to start her herd. As Julie’s love for the little brown cows grew, John became impressed with their heat tolerance and reproductive traits so it did not take long for the Jerseys to overtake the Holsteins. Today the milking herd consists of approximately 75 cows and an equal number of replacement heifers. The 2013 AJCA lactation average was 16,303 lbs. milk, 800 lbs. fat and 586 lbs. protein on 69 lactations. The Stoney Point herd is enrolled on REAP and contributes to Equity as well as advertises routinely in the Jersey Journal. The home farm consists of 184 acres where the Mayers rotational graze and raise corn, small grain, beans and hay. John and Julie also have rented Cattail Branch Farm from John and Becky Kile for the past 15 years, where their heifers are raised, along with alfalfa, corn and hay. Michael Heath joined the Stoney Point team as an unofficial mating consultant, helping Julie to achieve her goals of beauPage 46
Sean, Ashley, Julie and John Mayer own and operate Stoney Point Farm in Maryland. In the past year, the family has become a household name to many as they bred the 2013 National Grand Champion, Stoney Point Excitation Jamie, and the National Junior Champion, Stoney Point Tequila Sunrise-ET.
tiful cows with quality milk production. Julie’s opinion of an ideal Jersey is an attractive looking cow, with a full and open rib, a great udder and good feet and legs. Julie and Michael have frequent conversations about which bulls need to be in her semen tank to achieve her standards. Currently, bulls such as Tower Vue Prime Tequila-ET, GJPI -64, Bridon Excitation, GJPI -38, Budjon-Vail Sultan Gator-ET, GJPI -65, Hawarden Impuls Premier, GJPI +126, and Arethusa Verbatim ResponseET, GJPI -67, and a few others are being used. Julie credits John with being the brains behind their operation. He offers his business sense to the daily operation, but works almost two hours away. John took over his father’s sign business when he retired. Julie works with the cows and does much of the labor at Stoney Point, but has enlisted the help of a small group of workers. That core group recently added herdsman, Cody Pearson. Cody comes from a Milking Shorthorn herd in Massachusetts, and graduated from Virginia Tech with a degree in dairy science. He has been effective in sharing the responsibilities for the herd care with Julie, and has fully embraced the Jersey cow and all she has to
offer. John, Julie and Cody can all breed cows, but let an A.I. technician work at the tricky job of breeding heifers. Crowning Achievements Within the last year, dairy cattle enthusiasts from around the country and the world have come to recognize the Stoney Point prefix due to the success of Stoney Point Excitation Jamie and Stoney Point Tequila Sunrise. The two were crowned National Grand Champion and National Junior Champion, respectively, at The All American Jersey Show in Louisville, Ky., last November. “Jamie” was purchased by River Valley Farm, Tremont, Ill., at the 2013 Maryland State Fair, were she was crowned Grand Champion. She then went on to be named Supreme Champion for her new owners at the state fair. As the fall show season progressed, “Jamie” garnered honors such as Grand Champion at the Mid-Atlantic Jersey Show in Harrisburg, Pa., Reserve Grand Champion at the International Jersey Show in Madison, Wis., and Grand Champion at The All American Jersey Show in Louisville, Ky. Just recently, the daughter of Bridon Excitation, GJPI -38, became the Jersey (continued to page 48)

Hilmar Dairy Farm Internship Program Accepting Applications In 2008, a group of Jersey dairy producers in Hilmar, Calif., began an internship program to help youth develop necessary skills to manage dairy farms on a daily basis. Applications are due by December 12, 2014. “One of our goals was to create a more formalized, yet flexible, management level internship program focused on large-scale dairy operations,” explained Richard Clauss, owner of Clauss Jersey Farms when the program began. The program has several modules to be completed throughout the internship. In addition to basic cow and dairy operations skills, the program highlights Page 50
management issues, such as employee relations, government regulations and fiscal responsibility. One of the program goals is to develop on-farm employee decision making skills critical to the longterm success of any dairy business. “This program will differ from other internships as there are several dairies working together. Interns will have the opportunity to learn from each other’s experience at the various farms,” noted Charles Ahlem of Ahlem Farms Partnership. “My internship experience was a huge success. I learned a lot through valuable, hands-on experience,” said 2011 intern Erin Develaar. “I loved seeing so many different aspects of a large-scale dairy and the people that I was able to work with were great.”
Applicants must be a current sophomore, junior or senior in college studying dairy science, dairy management, animal science or vet sciene. It is a 10-week long paid internship working on a dairy in either California or Texas. For additional information and to apply, visit www.dairyintern.com.

Chapman Family Hosts North Carolina Field Day
Neither gray skies nor light showers could keep Jersey enthusiasts from gathering at Chapman Jersey Farm for this year’s annual North Carolina Field Day and North Carolina Pot of Gold Sale. A large crowd attended the event at the farm in Taylorsville on July 19 to recognize Jersey breeder for their accomplishments, hear industry news from guest speakers, auction a handful of deep-pedigreed heifers and socialize with their peers. Guests were also treated to a lunch and tour of the farm operated by Bill and Glenda Chapman and their sons, Gary and Daniel. The Distinguished Service Award was presented posthumously to Ted Luther, accepted on his behalf by his wife, Dot. Ted served the dairy industry in many capacities on the state and national levels and was a mentor to many aspiring Jersey breeders. Luther sat on the board of National AllJersey Inc. (NAJ) for 17 years and also served as vice president and president. He was a secretary and president of the North Carolina Jersey Breeders Association and was sitting on the organization’s board at his passing. He was also president of the North Carolina Jersey Milk Producers’ Association. Ted and Dot co-chaired the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA)-NAJ Annual Meetings when they were hosted by the state in Greensboro in 1993 and were active in planning the meetings held in Asheville in 2008. Ted graduated from North Carolina State University in 1961 with a dairy science degree and accepted a job with Biltmore Dairy Farms in Asheville. He also worked for the North Carolina Department of Agriculture to supervise dairy research at the Piedmont Research Station. He established a 20-cow dairy in partnership with his brother, Ben, in 1965. The herd was expanded to 150 cows and marketed milk with the All-Jersey® program. For many years, the family hosted

Guests enjoyed transport from the parking lot to the farm aboard a new John Deere crossover utility vehicle. Chapman Jersey Farm is operated by Bill and Glenda Chapman and their sons, Gary and Daniel. Every member of the family lent a hand to make the event an enjoyable one for all, including daughter Laura Sprinkle and her husband, Scott; Gary’s wife, Sonya, who took photographs; Daniel’s wife, Amy; and all the grandchildren.
the Southeast Heifer Growers North Sale at Lutheridge Farm in Mount Ulla. The herd was sold in 1997 and replaced with a heifer growing operation. In a judging contest held that day, Macy Chapman, Taylorsville, took top honors in the junior division and Wayne Lutz, Mocksville, and James Pearson, Lincolnton, tied for first in the senior division. Lauren Sprinkle, Taylorsville, placed second in the junior contest. Herby Lutz, dairy sire analyst for Select Sires Inc., spoke about genomics and the role the technology plays in genetic progress. Before genomic evaluations, the dairy industry relied on pedigree information to predict performance of future progeny. Today, genomic evaluations are helping dairy producers predict performance based on DNA that is inherited. Among the benefits of genomic evaluations are higher reliabilities for young unproven bulls. Lutz noted, though, that progeny test programs are still important because they validate predictions through phenotypic data. Currently, about half of semen sales are for proven bulls and the balance for genomic tested young sires commonly called G-code bulls.
NAJ Vice President James S. Huffard III, Crockett, Va., also spoke to Jersey breeders about NAJ, reminding them that the organization continues to push for fair milk pricing across the country. A recent accomplishment was NAJ’s work with other producer organizations to defeat a market stabilization program tied to supply management in the new Farm Bill. The new bill signed into law earlier this year includes a new margin insurance program that is not coupled with supply management. NAJ is now working to get multiple component pricing (MCP) in the southeast. A proposal is being drafted to petition a hearing to consider adoption of the uniform MCP pricing plan for the three southeast markets, so that producers supplying those markets can realize the same MCP benefits as other Federal Order producers. Corey Lutz, president of the North Carolina Jersey Breeders Association, Lincolnton, brought the group up-to-speed on events at the recent AJCA-NAJ Annual Meetings in Alexandria, Va. He also mentioned that there will be a genetic base change for official genetic evaluations in December 2014. Members also heard from Jersey Marketing Service Manager and AJCA-NAJ Area Representative Jason Robinson. Farm Tour The land that is now Chapman Jersey Farm and has been home to six generations of the family was purchased by Bill’s great-grandfather in the early 1900s. Bill took reins of the operation after he was discharged from the military in 1967. Though his initial idea was to milk Holsteins, he bought a group of 17 Jerseys because they were less expensive to purchase and feed. In the years since, the herd has grown to 270 milking cows and become fully registered through use of the Genetic Recovery program in the 1990s. The rolling herd average for the herd for (continued to page 56)

July 2014 was 17,187 lbs. milk, 694 lbs. fat and 586 lbs. protein. The herd is enrolled on REAP and has a herd average JPI of +62 following the August 2014 genetic evaluations. All forages are grown on the farm’s 90 acres an additional 300 acres of rented land. Cows and heifers are pastured year round. Cows are housed in the farm’s original Number

Celebrating 100 Years of Registered Jerseys
I
t truly was a celebration of a century for the Jersey breed as Chuck and Sue Luchsinger and their family welcomed dairy enthusiasts from across the country to their dairy in Syracuse, N.Y., on July 12, 2014. In the letter at the start of their catalog, the Luchsinger family stated, “One hundred years. It’s a long time for one family, four generations, to survive the changing and adverse world of the dairy business. Had it not been for our founder, John Luchsinger, and his choice of Jerseys in 1914, maybe this history would never have been written.” After nearly three years of planning, Chuck and Sue and their children, Charlie, Allie and Jenny and their families, all pulled together to put together a weekend of events that capped off that “Celebration of a Century.” At the start of the sale, the tent was overflowing with onlookers and buyers. Tables outside of the tent were full as well as the sale kicked off with a donation lot from the Luchsinger family to fire victims, Patricia Stiles, Clear Brook, Va., and her granddaughter, Reese Burdette, Mercersburg, Pa. The family offered SSF Bohemiam Craft, born in September 2013. Bidding quickly escalated with Pete and Lyn Vail, Kinderhook, N.Y., placing the final bid of $5,000 and donating the heifer back to the sale. She then resold online through JerseyAuctionLive.com to Taylor Jersey Farm, Booneville, Miss., for $2,200. At day’s end, the 99 Jerseys crossing the auction block sold for an average price of $4,273.74 with gross receipts of $423,100. Leading the way were the 26 milk cows with an average price of $5,734.62. SixtyPage 66

seven buyers in 22 states and Canada purchased animals in the sale. Carly-O Tequila Alley was the talk of the tent as the sale began. The senior twoyear-old earned an end spot in the barn and showed off her style to all that stopped to look at her. As “Alley” hit the ring, bidding took off with each ringman getting a good work out as the bidding quickly escalated upwards. It was Peter Vail that cast the final bid of $48,000 on the daughter of Tower Vue

Page-Crest Two-Day Sale is Big Success
I
n a two day event, June 17-18, 2014, the Page family of Mount Vernon, Mo., opened their herd and offered their best genetics to the Jersey and Holstein worlds. For many years Betty and Leon Page milked Holstein cattle on their dairy in Missouri. Ten years ago, they and their son, Derek, added an elite group of Jerseys to the herd. Since then, the Jerseys have overtaken the herd and the family has realized great success with them. In 2013, a Jersey named Page-Crest Excitation Karlie, became the highest selling Jersey at public auction (as reported to the Jersey Journal), when she sold in the Franchise Kind II Sale in New York for $170,000 along with a package of her daughters to Arethusa Farm, Litchfield, Conn. That same year, “Karlie” was named Grand Champion of the International Jersey Show in Madison, Wis., and of the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto, Canada. She went on to receive Supreme Champion honors as well at the Royal. She is the cow that put Page Crest Jerseys on the map. Breeders from near and far traveled to Mount Vernon to select from the more than 300 animals cataloged. At the end of the event, 50 buyers from 16 states had purchased the 335 lots offered of Registered Jerseys and Holsteins. The 291 Jerseys crossing the auction block sold for an average price of $2,192.96 with receipts totalling $638,150. The 43 Holsteins that sold averaged $2,023.84 for a total price of $87,025. Leading the way were the 23 open yearlings with an average price of $3,138.04. By the end of the sale, 13 animals had sold for more than $5,000. Many purchases and bids were accepted Page 72

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.
Contest will be held Friday, November 7, and Saturday, November 8, in conjunction with The All American Jersey Show and Sale in Louisville, Ky. Participants must be no younger than 16 years of age, and not older than 22 as of January 1 of the contest year. Membership in the American Jersey Cattle Association, junior or lifetime, is required. To apply, you must meet one of the following requirements: be the Queen, Princess of or member of the state association court for the current year in your state of residence; (2) be a regional Jersey queen for the current year; (4) have been a former state or regional Jersey queen; (4) be a former alternate in the National Jersey Queen Court; or (5) be an exhibitor in the 2014 All American Junior Jersey Show or Western National Junior Jersey Show. To enter the contest, the off icial application must be completed and received in the AJCA office by October 15. Late applications will not be accepted. The application form is available at http://www.usjersey.com/YouthProgram/ natlqueen.htm, or by request from the AJCA Development Department at 614/322-4456.

Doris L. Hough, Peach Bottom, Pa., 87, passed away on August 28, 2014. She was born in Somerville, N.J., to the late DeWitt and Lydia (Sieben) Bacorn. As a young woman, she fox hunted through the estates of that area and never lost her love of horses, polo and jumping. She was never without a dog and had an extensive knowledge of wild birds and horticulture. She and her late husband, George, and their family operated Milknhoney, a Registered Jersey farm, in Peach Bottom. The Houghs established the herd in 1958 with the purchase of a Registered Jersey cow as a milk cow in New Jersey. They moved to the farm in Peach Bottom in 1971 and grew the herd to 180 head. The farm was featured on the cover of the March 1985 issue of the Jersey Journal, the same year Pennsylvania hosted the annual meetings of the national Jersey organizations in Lancaster. The Houghs bred the bull Milknhoney General. The herd was dispersed in 1991. Hough was an accomplished artist and especially enjoyed painting animals and flowers. Her work has been exhibited in the Quarryville Library and other venues as well. Currently, one of her works is on display at the Lancaster County Art Association in Strasburg. She generously donated artwork to local charities for fundraisers and was an art instructor for 4-H. The Pennsylvania Jersey Cattle Association and junior members from the state benefitted from her depictions of Jersey cattle, which included illustrations for the organization’s TMR cookbook, notepaper, jewelry and cheese boxes. Many of her pen and ink drawings were used in Milknhoney advertisements for the Jersey Journal. Both Doris and George enjoyed flying and were licensed pilots. Hough was a member of the American Jersey Cattle Association, the Lancaster County Art Association and the Octorara Art Association. She also was an active member of Chestnut Level Presbyte-
