The AJCC Research Foundation has issued a request for research proposals to be funded in 2022 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 semen production of Jersey bulls; • 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.

Application deadline is December 1, 2021. The Research Advisory Committee of the American Jersey Cattle Association will evaluate the proposals, then forward its recommendations to the AJCA Board of Directors, which will award funds at its meeting in March 2022.

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).

Since 1988, the Foundation has awarded more than $900,000 in seed money for selected projects.

Detailed information about the Competitive Grants Program can be found on the USJersey web site (permalink http:// bit.do/JerseyRFP) or requested from Cari W. Wolfe, Director of Research and Genetic Programs Development, at 614/322-4453.

The Registered Jersey herd at the Ohio State University Agriculture Technical Institute (OSU-ATI) was dispersed on June 4, 2021, at the dairy facility in Wooster, Ohio. The herd was established several years ago with donations from breeders across the state. The dispersal is part of a larger plan by the university to raise heifers at the OSU-ATI facility, milk cows at the Columbus campus dairy known as Waterman Dairy and perform research exclusively at the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center.

In all, 112 lots sold for an average of $1,133.71. The 56 milking cows commanded top dollar all day, selling for an average of $1,333.48 and accounting for 20 of the top 25 prices. Thirty-one Jersey breeders from seven states made purchases, including several former OSUATI students.

Genetics from the ATI herd will remain at Ohio State as the dairy on the main campus purchased eight lots. They will join the dairy herd at the new Multi-species Animal Learning Center at the Waterman Agricultural and Natural Resources Laboratory on the west side of campus.

OSU purchased the two high sellers— OSU-ATI Ballistic Chita 2557 and OSUATI Lemonhead Buffy 2664—for $4,100 each. “Chita 2557” is an Excellent-92% daughter of DP Ballistic, GJPI +65, with a 365-day record of 26,771 lbs. milk, 1,507 lbs. fat (5.6%) and 1,033 lbs. protein (3.9%) at 4-1. She sold dry and due to sexed JX River Valley Chief {6}-ET, GJPI +118, with her fourth calf in mid-July.

She has three Very Good maternal sisters with projected records to 20,559–1,271–879. Their seven closest dams are appraised Very Good or Excellent.

The next dam is an Excellent-94% daughter of Richies Jace TBone A364, GJPI -25, with six complete records—five of them over 21,000 lbs. milk—and a best record of 24,460 lbs. milk, 1,439 lbs. fat and 949 lbs. protein at 8-11.

The third dam of “Chita 2557” is a Very Good-85% daughter of Schultz Brook Hallmark, GJPI -70, with six records, two of them over 21,500 lbs. milk, 1,000 lbs. fat and 720 lbs. protein. The Very Good-84% fourth dam has 20,260 lbs. milk, 908 lbs. fat and 756 lbs. protein at 6-3.

“Chita 2557” hails from a cow family donated by Royce Thornton, the longtime dairy program director at OSU-ATI. Thornton was instrumental in bringing Jerseys to the Wooster facility and collaborated with herd managers, including Gary Crocker, Brandon Lawwill, and Brent Hostetler, and others to improve herd genetics and marketability.

The other purchase of the campus dairy, “Buffy 2664,” is a Very Good-84% daughter of Steinhauers Samson Lemonhead, GJPI +36.

Their high component dam, OSUATI Texas Buffy 2521, Excellent-94%, has two records over 22,000 lbs. milk and a four lactation m.e. average of 22,540–1,191–886. The next dam is an Excellent-91% “TBone” with a top record of 20,580 lbs. milk, 1,033 lbs. fat and 760 lbs. protein.

The third dam of “Buffy 2664” is a Very Good-82% daughter of Sunset Canyon RP Militia-ET, GJPI -14, with 19,600 lbs. milk, 974 lbs. fat and 751 lbs. protein at 5-1.

The next dam has a top record over 20,000 lbs. milk as well.

A maternal sister of “Buffy 2664” was the second high seller, purchased by Stephanie Wyatt, Wooster, Ohio, for $2,900. She chose OSU-ATI Chrome Buffy 2738.

Brandon Lawwill, Apple Creek, Ohio, former herdsperson for OSU-ATI, placed the final bid of $2,600 on the third high seller, OSU-ATI Disco Chita 2672.
