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.

World Dairy Expo 2021 to Remain in Madison

World Dairy Expo is pleased to announce the 2021 event will be held once again at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison, Wis., from September 28 through October 2. The announcement comes after contingency plans and alternative venues were considered in the wake of the pandemic.

JERSEY JOURNAL

Stand Up For Dairy In the past two months two important dairy-related bills have been reintroduced in Congress. The Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act of 2021 would allow for flavored and unflavored whole milk to be offered as an option in school nutrition programs. The DAIRY PRIDE Act would prohibit non-dairy products from being labeled with dairy terms such as milk, cheese and yogurt. Both bills can offer a boost to dairy and deserve the support of producers and the dairy industry.

Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act of 2021 H.R 1861 U.S. Representatives Antonio Delgado (D-N.Y.) and Glenn ‘GT’ Thompson (R-PA) introduced legislation to expand school milk choices to include flavored and unflavored whole milk. Current regulations adopted in 2017 only allow for fat-free and low-fat (1%) milk. The 2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans reiterated dairy’s role in providing critical nutrients. The Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee reported that 79% of 9- to 13-yearolds do not meet the recommended intake for dairy. Data show that from 2014 to 2016 schools served 232 million fewer half pints of milk and milk was among the most discarded items in school waste studies.

While announcing the bill Rep. Thompson cited a project conducted at a Pennsylvania school during the 2019-2020 school year. Working in conjunction with the Grassroots PA Dairy Project Advisory Committee, students were offered milk at all butterfat levels.

Whole milk was preferred 3 to 1 over low-fat milk, milk sales grew by 65%, and the volume of discarded milk declined by 95%. Making whole milk available in schools provides the opportunity to bring a generation of youth back to consuming fluid milk.

The DAIRY PRIDE Act H.R. 2828 and S. 1346 U.S. Senators Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and Jim Risch (R-ID) along with U.S. Representatives Peter Welch (D-VT) and

Mike Simpson (R-ID) reintroduced the DAIRY PRIDE simultaneously in the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives.

Data from the 2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans found that most Americans are not meeting the recommended intake for dairy. While consumers know that dairy products provide key nutrients, the labeling of plant-based alternatives using dairy terms conveys an equivalency that is not accurate. Plant-based alternative products contain a variety of ingredients that often are not equivalent to the nutrition content of dairy products.

Current Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations define dairy products as being from dairy animals. Though existing federal regulation on the issue is clear on this subject, the FDA has not enforced to ensure accurate labeling, and as a result the incorrect use of the terms “milk”, “yogurt” and “cheese” has increased rapidly. The DAIRY PRIDE Act would require FDA to issue guidance for nationwide enforcement of mislabeled imitation dairy products and to report to Congress two years after enactment.

“Dairy farmers and processors work hard every day to ensure that milk and real dairy products meet the highest standards for quality and nutrition. Manufacturers and marketers of imitation products are fully aware of dairy’s excellent reputation and have been hijacking dairy terminology to their benefit. It’s past time for the FDA to abide by their own definitions and stop the mislabeling of products that do not originate from milk,” stated Erick Metzger, National All-Jersey Inc. General Manager.

Anyone involved in the dairy industry can help to advance these bills through Congress by contacting their Senators and Representatives and encouraging them to become co-sponsors.

Information on how to identify and contact your Members of Congress, along with each bill’s current co-sponsors, can be found on page 52 of this Jersey Journal. If we do not take advantage of this opportunity to promote our industry, who will?

YOUNG JERSEY BREEDER AWARDS

Three Young Jersey Breeders to be Recognized

T

he Board of Directors of the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) has named three recipients of the Young Jersey Breeder Award for 2021. They are Matthew and Lauren Evangelo, Kingsburg, Calif., Amy Maxwell, Donahue, Iowa, and Alana Peterson, Viroqua, Wis. The first Young Jersey Breeder Awards were presented in 1976. Since then, more than 280 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 AJCA and National All-Jersey Inc. (NAJ) programs, and leadership in Jersey and other dairy and agriculture organizations.

The honorees will be recognized at the Young Jersey Breeders Banquet to be held in conjunction with the AJCA-NAJ Annual Meetings in Bettendorf, Iowa, on June 23, 2021.

Matthew and Lauren Evangelo Matthew and Lauren Evangelo partner with his mother, Teresa, in Bar E Dairy, a mixed herd of 600 Jersey and 400 Holstein cows.

A mutual love of cattle brought Matt and Lauren together for the first time in 2004 at World Dairy Expo. He was competing with the dairy judging team for California Polytechnic State University-San Luis Obispo and she was attending with family and friends. The next year, their paths crossed again with a reversal of roles, with Lauren judging for Cal Poly. Fate brought them

together again when he returned to dairy with his family, and she moved to Hanford for an internship with Farm Credit West.

They married in 2008 and purchased their first big ticket item as newlywed— Tiaro Nevada Jazzle—with Blake Renner as a heifer calf from the Spring Valley 7th Edition. She was named Honorable Mention Junior Champion at World Dairy Expo in 2009 and placed 8th in the five-year-old class at the show in 2012. She is appraised Excellent-93% and has been a cornerstone of the merchandising program at Bar E Dairy.

Black and whites were the leading ladies in Matt’s life initially. He grew up on D & E Dairy, a Registered Holstein farm owned by his parents in Hanford. When he was eight, Jerseys came to the farm as project heifers for him and his brothers. Matt found success in the ring with brown cows and grew the Evangelo Jerseys herd. After he graduated from Cal Poly in 2005, he returned to the dairy full time and evaluated cows part-time for Semex as well. In 2014, his parents helped Matt and Lauren start a second dairy. Three years later, the herds were merged to establish Bar E Dairy.

The Evangelos focus on developing superior genetics, utilizing technology, and providing excellent cow comfort. They installed the SCR activity monitoring system from Allflex in 2019 and have continued to improve cooling equipment to combat temperatures that often surpass 100˚F in the summer. In the mating program, priority is placed on bulls that transmit high fat and protein yield and desirable udder traits. All heifers are genotyped. The top end of the herd is mated to gender-sorted genomic bulls from Semex and Select Sires. Animals with lower genetic merit are bred to beef bulls. Matt and Lauren also use high-type bulls on a few fancy pedigreed animals for the show market.

Among the bulls that have been sold to A.I. include the breed’s former #1 bull for Jersey Udder Index, Evangelo Del Primero, at Accelerated Genetics. He has

Amy Maxwell Amy Maxwell and her family own and operate Cinnamon Ridge Jerseys, a diversified farming operation, in Donahue, Iowa.

The dairy farm on which she grew up was very different than the one she now manages. But it was time in the tie-stall barn working with 40 cows two decades ago that laid the foundation for her success milking 210 cows with robots today. For Amy, success hinges on a strong work ethic and quality care for the cows, be the herd small or large.

Amy has pursued opportunities to learn and network from the onset. She attended the inaugural Jersey Youth Academy in 2009 and worked as an intern at High Lawn Farm, Lee, Mass., in the summer of 2011 as recipient of the Fred Stout Experience Award. She was a member of the dairy judging team for Iowa State University in 2010, where she was exposed to a variety of management styles at farms that hosted team practices. The following year, she earned a degree in agricultural business and economics from Iowa State.

Amy spent the next several months working at other dairies around the country to gain knowledge she would bring to back to Cinnamon Ridge Jerseys. A six-month internship at Forest Glen Jerseys in Dayton, Ore., brought proficiency in breeding and experience caring for a large organic dairy herd. She was responsible for inseminating the 2,000-cow herd and helped with vaccinations, newborn and postpartum care, and veterinary visits. She also spent time at two dairies that used Lely and DeLaval robots to learn the pros and cons of each manufacturer and determine a best fit for her own situation.

The Maxwells settled on Lely robots because of proximity to the local dealership and compatibility with sand bedding. They began milking 80 cows with two robots in November 2012, then added another two robots in March 2013. They purchased bred heifers from the Cedarcrest Dispersal to grow the herd. With trial and error, they found the current herd size of 210 cows to be ideal for maximizing production per cow.

With the transition made, the goal oriented Maxwells set their eyes on becoming the top producing herd in the nation.

Though the dairy had consistently ranked among similar-sized herds, Amy set forth a strategic plan to lead all herds, regardless

Amy Maxwell

of size. The Maxwells broke into the top 10 rankings in the nation in 2016 and topped the list for milk, protein, and cheese yield production in 2019. Cinnamon Ridge Dairy Farm retains this ranking today for actual and m.e. production with an actual average of 25,077 lbs. milk, 1,173 lbs. fat, 931 lbs. protein and a cheese yield of 3,125 lbs.

From an early age, Amy saw the value of investing in elite Registered Jersey genetics and developing them at Cinnamon Ridge.

She purchased her first heifer from the Pot O’Gold Sale when she was nine and made several additional purchases over the years.

The herd today includes numerous descendants. Among them is Cinnamon Nitro Noble-ET, Excellent-90%, who made the nation’s top 305-day milk record for 2020.

She traces four generations back to Amy’s second Pot O’Gold purchase in 2002. Amy has also marketed to A.I. and other Jersey breeders from her purchases. Three bulls from the “Noble” family are being sampled

by Select Sires Inc. Cinnamon Ridge Method Bulgaria, a daughter of another Pot O’Gold purchase, sold to Pine Tree Dairy of Marshallville, Ohio, for $39,000 in 2016.

She has six sons in A.I. Amy has developed other production and genetic leaders from years of Cinnamon Ridge breeding, including Cinnamon Ridge Plus Partridge, Excellent-91%, winner of the Hilmar Cheese Yield Trophy and the President’s Trophy in 2018, and Cinnamon Ridge Rasmus Lily, Very Good-86%, winner of the National Jersey Youth Production Contest in 2011.

Among the attributes that have helped (continued to page 20)

Alana operates Peterson Jerseys, a 50cow Registered Jersey dairy in Viroqua with the help of her parents, Dean and Pat. Ownership of the farm has been passed through four generations of the family, with Alana purchasing it from her parents in June 2016.

Like most kids “lucky” enough to grow up on a dairy farm, Alana spent a great deal of time in the barn at a young age. That experience was the springboard for dairy youth activities, pursuit of a dairy science degree and a career decision to return to the family farm.

Alana first showed at the Vernon County Fair when she was five and owned her first Jersey, a 4-H project, at the age of nine. She was making mating decisions for her cattle at 14 and involved in all aspects of the farm as a high schooler. She graduated from the University of Wisconsin-River Falls with a degree in dairy science management and a minor in coaching then returned to the family farm.

For her to continue dairying, it was clear changes needed to be made to the laborintensive, tie-stall barn of her predecessors.

Alana did her research and settled on a design that was efficient and affordable and would help her meet goal one: cow comfort. In the fall of 2012, construction was begun on a 12-stall stanchion barn with lever locks and six milking units and a 50 x 100-foot barn with a bedded pack and two calving pens. They began shipping Grade-A milk in the spring of 2013.

The pack barn is used as a holding pen for milking and housing during the winter.

Cows are rotationally grazed during the summer. They are fed from bunks and a round bale feeder on a cement pad during the winter. Another facility improvement included a switch from Hbunks to bottomless metal feed bunks to reduce waste and aid feed removal. For young stock, a fence line feeder was purchased and stalls in the old barn retrofitted for smaller animals. Corn silage was ensiled in bags to increase quality and reduce spoilage. On her list of future improvements is a cover for the cement pad and a second pad to reduce feed and bedding costs.

The results of the facility changes are healthier, more comfortable cows with higher production and fewer foot issues and a lower electricity bill. The dairy

has earned milk quality awards from Prairie Farms and Swiss Valley.

Another pivotal decision for Alana was to more fully use AJCA programs and services, including REAP, and enroll the herd on official DHI test after a lapse.

Among her goals is to develop a stronger market for show and A2/A2 genetics. To accomplish this, she is breeding stature into the genetics for youthful udders that she inherited. With her first herd appraisal in November 2020, this sound genetic base includes 20 Excellents and an appraisal average of 87.2%. Of these, one was appraised Excellent-94 points, three were made Excellent-92 and another three appraised Excellent-91%.

Alana also became involved with the farmland conservation program from the National Resources Conservation Service and took a nutrient management class to make the farm sustainable and efficient.

Alana is active off the farm too. She was elected as a director-at-large for the Wisconsin Jersey Breeders Association in 2018 and then became president of the club in 2020. She sits on the board of the Vernon County Dairy Youth Fund and chairs the Vernon County Dairy Day. She helped to establish the Cheese of Champs Sale at the Vernon County Fair, which auctions cheese made from milk produced by cows in the junior and open shows to raise funds for youth programs. She also helped to create a virtual speaking contest for youth to learn how to talk to the public about the dairy industry and to recognize public speaking (continued to page 24)

Amy attain success is a willingness to try new things and accept the outcome—good, bad, or indifferent. She instituted a quarterly meeting for everyone on the team at Cinnamon Ridge to discuss options for improving the business. Anyone and everyone who is involved is encouraged to attend, from veterinarians and nutritionists to bankers and crop advisors.

Amy genotypes the entire herd, uses industry programs to source herd sires and implements JerseyMate to mate females as individuals. The breeding efforts have resulted in a REAP herd ranked among the top 25% in the nation for genetic merit, with a herd average JPI of +19 (April 2021). Cinnamon Ridge Dairy Farm has also earned a reputation for selling quality herd replacements and developed a solid clientele of repeat customers.

Amy is also willing to share knowledge with peers. She has participated in roundtable discussions in the Jersey Journal on genotyping, robotic milkers, and dairying as a millennial. As well, the dairy has assisted in research projects sponsored by the AJCC Research Foundation, the William H. Miner Agricultural Research Institute and Cornell University and the University of Missouri.

Among her passions is to encourage youth to become involved with dairy. Amy and her father have helped to expand opportunities for showing and judging dairy cattle at the county fair. By opening the event to all youth (not just 4-Hers), entries have doubled since the pair assumed leadership in 2010. Amy has also helped nonfarm kids in St. Louis exhibit 4-H projects at county and state fairs. This mentorship includes a cousin, Jacob Tatko, who spent summers working at Cinnamon Ridge and saved money to buy a Jersey calf. His first purchase, JX Clemson Lemonhead 330 604 {6}, from the 2016 Pot O’Gold Sale won the ensuing production contest and the 2018 National Jersey Youth Production Contest as well.

The diversified farming enterprise at Cinnamon Ridge also includes production of artisan cheese, Jersey beef, pork, and eggs.

These and other goods, like the farm’s famous cinnamon rolls, are sold through The Country Cupboard farm store. Cinnamon Ridge also operates an agritourism business that includes tours of the farm.

Cinnamon Ridge is a tour stop for this year’s AJCA-NAJ Annual Meetings, hosted

by Iowa Jersey breeders. The dairy will also host the National Heifer Sale on Friday, June 25.

Evangelo (continued from page 18)

impacted herds internationally as well, with daughters tapped as Junior Champion of the Swiss Expo Jersey Show and Grand Champion of the German National Show.

The herd is enrolled on REAP. It ranks among the top 25% in the nation for genetic merit with a herd average JPI of +14 (April 2021). With the latest appraisal in April 2021, the herd includes 31 Excellent and 398 Very Good cows. The January 2021 rolling herd average is 19,747 lbs. milk, 958 lbs. fat and 719 lbs. protein on 562 cows.

Matt and Lauren believe in investing in the future of agriculture and may be as recognized for activities off the farm as for Evangelo Jerseys. Matt serves on the Kings County DHIA Board and the Kings Fair Dairy Replacement Heifer Committee and is a Region 81 delegate for Land O’Lakes.

He has served the California Holstein Association as president, vice president and secretary/treasurer and was one of the state’s delegates to the national Holstein convention three times. He is a graduate of the California Dairy Leaders program sponsored by Western United Dairyman.

Lauren has been secretary of the South San Joaquin Holstein Association (SSJHA) since 2006 and was committee chair for

Page 22

the pre-convention tours for the national Holstein association’s convention hosted by the state in 2009. She has been a member of the county’s June dairy month committee and the dairywomen organization since 2007. Her influence as manager with the loan department at Farm Credit West has garnered financial support for many dairy and youth activities at Cal Poly, the Fresno and Kings County Fairs, and Hanford FFA, among others.

But the couple is most proud of being co-chairs and founding members of the Western Classic Junior Dairy Show. The event was organized by the SSJHA in 2011, when the state of California eliminated funding for the junior show. Matt and Lauren are credited for being the driving force in the formation of The Classic and key to its development. For the ninth show in 2019, nearly 400 entries were shown by 200-plus exhibitors.

For Lauren, the show may be a way for her to pay forward the doors opened for her by Monique and Mike Moretti. Though she did not grow up on a farm, the couple helped her to join 4-H when she was nine and purchase her first calf a year later. Her dairy herd numbered 15 head by the time she was a high school senior and prompted her to study dairy and agriculture at Cal Poly.

The Moretti couple was also indirectly responsible for the development of a partnership that brought some well-known genetics to Bar E Dairy. Among the other juniors they helped with dairy projects was Carly Olufs. When she showed Carly-O Tequila Alley {4} as a heifer at World Dairy Expo, she was unable to return to the Moretti’s organic dairy.

She eventually found her way to Budjon Farms of Lomira, Wis. The partnership of Budjon Farms, Peter Vail, F&D Borba and F&C Borba showed her to National Grand Champion laurels in 2015. Recognizing the genetic transmitting ability of her dam, Twisted-K Iatola Apple {3}, Carly asked the Evangelos to partner with her in introfertilization to increase progeny. One of her daughters, Carly-O Tequila Afterdark-ET, Excellent-90%, is a farm favorite and in the donor dam program.

Matt and Lauren gave birth to their first child, Carson Brooks, in October 2020.

achievements.

From the beginning, Alana has had a strong connection to the show ring. She born during the Minnesota State Fair week and eventually made a trek with the show string to this fair and several others over the years. The Petersons regularly exhibit at the Wisconsin Spring Spectacular Show, the Wisconsin State Jersey Show, the Wisconsin State Fair, the International Jersey Show and the All American Jersey Show. She has shown the Supreme Champion of the Vernon County Fair three times, topped the Wisconsin Jersey Futurity, and been named the top junior exhibitor in the National Jersey Jug Futurity. In 2019, the state of Wisconsin officially recognized the Peterson family for 75 years of continuous showing at the Vernon County Fair.

Alana was named Wisconsin Junior Jersey Breeder of the Year in 2006 and featured by Dairy Star in the Women in Dairy series in 2018. She has coached basketball and softball and grows giant pumpkins. It is her goal to win the largestpumpkin class at the Vernon County Fair.

She has come close several times with entries that weigh more than 300 lbs.

Editor’s Note: Because the AJCANAJ Annual Meetings were conducted virtually in 2020, recipients of last year’s award have been given opportunity to be recognized at another event. Kevin Krejci and Lisa Demmer, Ellsworth, Wis., have opted to receive their award with this year’s recipients at the Young Jersey Breeders Banquet. To learn more about them, read the May 2020 issue of the Jersey Journal.

2021 AJCA-NAJ ANNUAL MEETINGS

Candidates for AJCA and NAJ Elections AJCA President Nominee Jonathan Merriam Jonathan Merriam, Hickman, Calif., has been nominated for President of the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA). He currently is serving his third term as AJCA president.

Merriam grew up on the family dairy farm in Hickman and now works as the genetics specialist at Ahlem Farms Partnership in Hilmar, Calif. The 7,000-cow dairy owned by Carolyn Ahlem, Sabino AhlemHerrera and Roger Herrera milks cows on three dairies using several AJCA programs, including REAP and JerseyMate, and JerseyTags for permanent identification.

Ahlem Farms Partnership is a charter investor in Project Equity and a contract advertiser with the Jersey Journal.

The dairy is also a founder of Hilmar Cheese Company.

All three herds have herd averages over 17,600 lbs. milk (actual) and herd average JPIs over +21. Among herds with 750 or more cows, Ahlem Farms Jerseys ranks seventh for protein with an average of 18,753 lbs. milk, 870 lbs. fat and 713 lbs. protein on 1,713 cows. Ahlem Farms Partnership ranks 10th for fat with a herd average of 18,217 lbs. milk, 888 lbs. fat and 686 lbs. protein. The home dairy ranks #14 in the nation for genetic merit with a herd average JPI of +47 on 3,534 cows. Eighty-nine percent are genotyped.

Merriam grew up on 400-cow dairy farm in central California, where he and his family milked 250 Registered Jerseys and 150 grade Holsteins. His grandfather, William Merriam, established the dairy herd with Jerseys in 1929 and added Holsteins in the 1960s, when the creamery required their addition due to public concern about high fat milk.

As a youth, he was active in 4-H and FFA, where he earned the American FFA Degree.

A highlight of his show career was exhibiting Supreme Champion at the California State Fair with a cow bred by James Pappas of Stardust Jerseys. He also exhibited cattle at The All-American Junior Jersey Show and helped with the All American Jersey (continued to page 36)

Lori Sollenberger, Everett, Pa., has been nominated to serve as Director from the Third District of the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA).

Early in her Jersey career, Lori had a goal of representing breeders from her area on the AJCA Board of Directors.

But when she sold a good portion of the herd and pursued cheesemaking, she put aside that goal. She assumed she no longer fit the mold of the conventional Jersey breeder sitting on the board. But with the growing interest in niche and artisan foods in recent years and the Jersey being the perfect cow to produce these value-added products, she revisited that goal and made the decision to run for Director.

He is serving his f irst term as Director, having been elected to the position in 2018. He currently chairs the Finance Committee and is a member of the Breed Improvement Committee as well.

Taylor owns and operates Taylor Jersey Farm Inc. with his wife, Carla, sons, Lee, Carl and Holden, and parents, Royal and Marthell. The 150-cow Registered Jersey herd is enrolled on REAP, uses JerseyTags for permanent identification and is a contract advertiser with the Jersey Journal.

For four years after graduation, he worked off the farm with Jersey Marketing Service as part of the crew for sales like the Deep South and Southeast Heifer Growers South Sale and the All American Jersey Sale, where he met Carla, an AJCANAJ Area Representative at the time.

Taylor also donated his service for the 2005 National Heifer Sale in Washington, Pa., which generated funds for the AJCC Research Foundation.

Taylor Jersey Farm also regularly consigns to leading Jersey sales, including the National Heifer Sale, the All American and several regional sales. The Taylors will host the second Southern Selection Sale this May at Taylor Jersey Farm. They hosted the inaugural event in May 2017.

welfare, milk quality, and sustainability programs for the northeast milk supply.

He works with several well-known Jersey establishments in New England.

He and his wife, Heather, and children, Regan, Ryleigh and Asher, raise a few milk cows and bred heifers and care for a small flock of chickens at the home farm in Northwood. They breed Registered Jerseys with a focus on style and balance and use his family’s childhood prefix, Johnsonacres.

Success with their breeding philosophy came most recently in 2019 with Johnsonacres Colton Behold. She was named Supreme Junior Champion of the New Hampshire Jersey Breed Show and Reserve Junior Champion of the Eastern States Exposition Junior Show and earned an Honorable Mention Junior All American award from AllBreed Access. The Johnsons hope to exhibit her in the 2021 National Jersey Jug Futurity.

Show ring experiences with animals like “Behold” are one of the joys of dairying for cattle breeders like Jason. He fondly remembers his first show calf, “Rosie,” who took him to the Eastern States Exposition in West Springfield, Mass., for the first time as a youth. She and Jason paraded show rings in the same era as her world-famous paternal sister, two-time National Grand Champion, Billings Top Rosanne. In an act of serendipity, Jason was presented with opportunity to build on “Rosanne’s” genetics nearly three decades later as herd manager at Billings Farm.

While at Billings, Jason helped to revive the breeding and show programs, with several cows standing in the same spotlight as the former Billings Farm resident. Among them were Billings Remake Bounty, Excellent-93%, Overall Premier Performance Winner of the 2008 All American Jersey Show, RJF Jamaica Rockstar, Excellent-95%, Reserve Grand

Champion of the 2013 Royal Agricultural Winter Fair, and Billings Legion Mini Mi, Excellent-95%, Total Performance Winner of the 2013 Eastern States Exposition.

Jason also developed the “B” cow family and revived the merchandising program at the farm.

Jason is the vice president of the New England Jersey Breeders Association. He has served as a director of the Vermont Jersey Breeders Association six years and was elected president and vice president as well. He has chaired the sale committee for the Northeast Jersey Breeders Classic and sat on the All American Sale Committee.

While in college, he helped to revive the university dairy club and was a member of the dairy judging team that competed nationally.

Among his proudest moments was receiving the A.C. “Whitie” Thompson Memorial Award at World Dairy Expo in 2015. The award is presented annually to honor a herdsman or showman who exhibits exemplary leadership and sportsmanship throughout Expo.

Jason’s desire to serve on the AJCA Board stems from his experience working on Jersey dairies in three New England states. He would like to be a voice for the herds from the Northeast. Though most are relatively small, they continue to be a relevant component of the ever-changing dairy industry.

Lori grew up on Ralaine Jersey Farm in Bedford County. Among her early memories are the odd-looking cross-bred calves that were the result of productive grade Jersey cows being bred to beef bulls.

Her parents set a goal to phase out these animals and become a fully Registered Jersey herd. Over time, they reached their goal. And with the use of AJCA services like REAP and bulls from the young sire groups, they consistently ranked among the top 10 in the nation for genetic merit and production. They regularly received

the Norman Genetic Award, presented to Pennsylvania’s high herd for genetic merit, and sent Ralaine Paramount Peter to Accelerated Genetics.

In 2005, several issues converged to create a difficult financial position and the herd was dispersed. With the few cows that were left behind, Lori began a new marketing venture: raw milk farmstead cheese made from milk produced by Hidden Hills Jerseys and marketed using the Hidden Hills Dairy label. Today, she produces six varieties of raw milk cheese in a licensed, on-farm creamery from milk produced by 15 cows. Most of the cheese is sold to restaurants and stores in Pennsylvania and surrounding states. Old Gold, an aged gouda style cheese, has a growing following as a finishing cheese on pizza. It is shipped as far as Vermont and Texas.

Lori recently began participating in REAP again and will soon market cheese with the Queen of Quality label. Cows

are rotationally grazed during the grazing season. The farm also makes grass hay from 150 acres of fields.

Through cheesemaking, Lori was introduced to a new segment of the dairy industry. She has entered cheese competitions and hosted cheesemaking classes at the creamery. She was a member of the steering committee that established the Pennsylvania Cheese Guild and a charter member of the organization.

Lori has been active with Jersey programs and events as well. She has served the Pennsylvania Jersey Cattle Association as president, director, and youth program coordinator. She received the organization’s Distinguished Service Award in 2015. She has also served on the All American Junior Show Committee and was the Jersey representative on the board for the Pennsylvania All-American Dairy Show in Harrisburg, Pa. (continued to page 34)

The youngest of eight children, Joe grew up on a registered Holstein farm in Missouri. He graduated from Iowa State University in 1991 with a degree in dairy science. He had a 17-year career in A.I. with the former Sire Power of Tunkhannock, Pa. (now Select Sires). While with Sire Power, he worked with the organi-

The farm is a member of Dixieland Jersey Sires Inc. and has contributed to the AJCC Research Foundation.

The Frerichs family has been actively involved in educating the public about dairy farming through the Jersey Barnyard.

The hands-on barnyard exhibit provides self-guided and guided tours to local residents, tourists, schools and groups, with opportunity to pet and feed a variety of farm animals, milk a cow by hand, venture through a hay maze and learn about other farm activities. They expanded their business to include Grade A raw milk, pastured eggs, grass fed beef, organic chicken and pastured pork. The farm store is packed with domestic and imported cheeses and local farm goods to support other farmers in their value-added endeavors.

They also operate the Texas Jersey

Cheese Company. For 10 years, Ralph and Faith made the all-natural Jersey cheese by hand. Today it is made by others so the couple can concentrate on other aspects of the farm. Their cheese is sold locally and online.

Frerichs Dairy is home to the well-known “Belle,” television star and “spokescow” for Blue Bell Creameries. “Belle” has appeared in many commercials and traveled extensively promoting Blue Bell ice cream.

“Belle” and her herdmates have starred in 11 commercials for Blue Bell ice cream.

The farm’s Jerseys have also appeared in commercials for Astro Yogurt and Promised Land Dairy.

off-site and sold in a small retail store at the farm. A wholesale delivery business then grew out of the demand for all-Jersey milk, especially in the local restaurant scene which loved cooking and baking with premium Jersey milk. In January 2004, the farm constructed its own processing and bottling plant, bottling in both glass and plastic.

Today, Mapleline Farm’s milk can be found throughout the state of Massachusetts, in grocery and specialty food stores, restaurants, coffee shops and institution dining services. Mapleline Farm milk is a certified “Queen of Quality” All-Jersey product, and proudly displays the “Queen of Quality” logo on its returnable glass bottles. Its chocolate milk has been featured by many food editors and recently named “Best Chocolate Milk in Massachusetts.”

The herd of 110 cows is enrolled on REAP, a contract advertiser in the Jersey Journal and a member of New England Jersey Sires. The herd has a 2020 AJCA lactation average (m.e.) of 18,907 lbs. milk, 1,006 lbs. fat and 690 lbs. protein on 114 lactations and an appraisal average of 83.6% after the January 2021 appraisal.

Cows are milked in a double-seven, rapid-exit parlor and housed in free stalls.

Mapleline Farm routinely consigns animals to The All American Jersey Sale, the Massachusetts Blue-Ribbon Calf Sale, the National Heifer Sale, and the New England Spring Sale.

Mapleline Farm has been named a Dairy of Distinction by the Massachusetts Farm Bureau for 10 years and was recognized as a Century Farm by the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources in 2004.

lbs. fat and 671 lbs. protein on 2,968 cows.

Both herds rank among the top 25% in the nation for genetic merit, with respective herd average JPIs of +21 and +39 following the April 2021 genetic evaluations. More than 110 cows rank among the top 25% for JPI or Genomic JPI. More than 65% of the milking cows in each herd have been genotyped.

Herrera was mentored in cattle breeding by the late Ed Fisher, who received the AJCA Master Breeder Award with Ahlem Farms Partnership in 2009. The dairies have an active embryo transfer program to grow the herd’s most elite genetics and boost the overall genetic level of the herd. The herds continue the tradition of the foundation herd by breeding high-scoring, high-producing, long-lived cows. Ahlem Jersey Farm is home to seven Excellent-94% cows: Ahlem Iatola Finesse 32754, Ahlem Iatola Tiffany 32553, Ahlem Action Harmony 33374, Ahlem Sultan Dusty 33653, Ahlem Ace Brittany 33913, Ahlem Ace Equal 33806 and Ahlem Blackstone Eve 36184.

Ahlem Farms Vista and Ahlem Farms Jerseys have also continued the tradition of placing Registered Jersey bulls in nearly every major A.I. organization and consigning to elite Jersey sales, including the All American Jersey Sale, the Pot O’Gold and the National Heifer Sale.

The dairies are actively involved with Jerseyland Sires and use JerseyMate to assist with mating cows and heifers.

Though raised in Los Angeles, Herrera always yearned for small town life, which is what he got when he moved to Hilmar and began his dairy career.

Get Transfers In Order For Junior Show Season

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 Page 42

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 check-in. 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.

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 exclusively for Jersey juniors.

Awards must be requested annually.

Contact the AJCA Director of Communicaitons at 614/322-4451, at least two weeks in advance of the event.

Regretfully, requests made within two weeks of the show date cannot be filled.

G-Code Bulls Marketed by A.I. Organizations, April 2021 The highest-ranking bulls with the NAAB status code G from the official single-breed “S” genetic evaluations released by the Council on Dairy Cattle Breeding (CDCB) for April 2021 are listed below. Status code G designates genomic tested and marketed bulls that have fewer than 10 daughters with usable records as of the evaluation date.

The cut-off for this list is a Jersey Performance IndexTM of 123. Bulls are listed in two groups, with those having AJCA Herd Register status or a Generation Count of 4-6 and a BBR 100, listed first, followed by bulls with Generation Count (GC) 3 or GC 4-6 with a BBR 93 and lower.

NAME OF BULL

NAAB member organizations assigned G-code status to 441 Jersey bulls for this release. These bulls average +348M, +39F, +26P, CM$ +377 and NM$ +351. For the entire list of bulls with complete evaluations for yield, fitness and type traits, refer to the Jersey Genetic Summary (Vol. 26, No. 1, online at http://greenbook.usjersey.com). Three-generation AJCA Official Performance Pedigrees are included on the Green Book website.

Official evaluations for bulls combining genomic and progeny test information are released after a minimum of 10 daughters have production (PTA protein) evaluations.

In Memoriam Albert P. Talbot Albert P. Talbot, Lynn, Ind., 83, passed away on March 17, 2021, at Reid Health and Hospital of Richmond, Ind. He was born on July 23, 1937, in Port Newt, Canada.

A lifelong farmer, Albert got his feet wet in the business working at Heaven Hill Farms after he came to the farm in Lake Placid, N.Y., from an orphanage in New Brunswick with another farm hand, Floyd Fanjoy. The two traveled with John Perkins and the show string via box car during the glory days of the tanbark trail, working behind the scenes with the prize-winning Registered Jerseys. Talbot was a herdsman from the early 1980s until the Heaven Hill herd was transferred to the W.H. Miner Agricultural Research Institute in Chazy, N.H., in 1988.

Alfred, known as “Groundhog” to many of his friends, was known for being humble, kind and active and always wearing a smile. He enjoyed fishing and, above all, spending time with his grandchildren.

He is survived by his wife, Juanita; a son, Lloyd Talbot of Lynn; two daughters, Elizabeth Clark of Winchester, Ind., and Cindy Donell of Lynn; five grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren.

Albert was preceded in death by his parents and siblings, Frank, Mary, and Dottie.
