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.

Erick Metzger, General Manager of National All-Jersey Inc. and Director of Herd Services was honored by his alma mater, Purdue University, in late September. Metzger, who has been with the AJCA since 1992, received the Distinguished Alumni award from the Department of Animal Science Metzger in the Lifetime Achievement category. In addition to his many duties at the AJCA, Metzger has also served on many industry committees including being a past president of National Dairy Shrine. Erick and his wife, Patty, live in Hebron, Ohio. Queen of Quality producer, Garry’s Meadow Fresh Milk, was recently chosen as the best Oregon milk in a blind taste-off in the Portland area. Comments published locally in the Willamette Weekly’s food section had this to say about Garry’s Meadow Fresh milk: “Even in a blind tasting, this milk stands out for its thickness and freshness.” The local paper also told its readers that “Garry’s is sold in glass bottles with little globs of fat stuck to the cap, so shake it. Pasteurized but not homogenized, this white gold comes from Jersey cows whose milk naturally contains more protein and calcuim than milk from other cows.” The milk is produced by Garry Hansen, Lady-Lane Farm, Mulino, Ore.
Case Johnson Halliburton was born August 27, 2013, to Rorey and Sara (LaFever) Halliburton, Lalu Jerseys, Sparta, Tenn. He is the first child for the 2005 National Jersey Queen. Case weighed 7 lbs., 15 oz. and was 20 inches long. In addition to being a past national queen, Sara is currently the associate chair of the National Jersey Jug committee for The All American Shows and Sales. Dana and Kary Metzger, Multi-Rose Jerseys, Rock Rapids, Iowa, welcomed their fifth child on August 22, 2013. Bethany Rose was welcomed home by older siblings, Jeremy, 7, Daniel, 5, Heidi, 3, and Lena, 22 months. She weighed 6 lbs. and 4 oz. and was 19½ inches long.
Rodney Metzger, and his wife, Polly, of Summit Farm, Lester, Iowa, were honored by the Iowa State Fair with “The Way We Live” award this past August. Recognized with them were their five children, Emma, 23, Vance, 21, Eric, 18, Neil, 16, and Toby, 14. The award recognizes Iowa families who demonstrate a daily dedication to animal agriculture and exemplify farm values derived from hard work and a love for farming. They were one of six families chosen by the contest sponsored by Tractor Supply Company and WHO News Radio 1040. In an essay for the contest, Emma wrote, “Our farm has been the one thing that has enabled us to spend so much time together. We know it is not the perfect life, but we would not trade it for any other. We dream Page 14

The REAP herd is owned by Jim and Wanda Bohnert and their sons, Scott (Karen) and Brian Bohnert and their daughter Tara. The herd is consistently one of the top production herds in Illinois. Ten years ago, Carl and Debra Chaney of Chaney’s Jerseys, Bowling Green, Ky., knew they needed to diversify to keep their dairy going, so they opened Chaney’s Dairy Barn. In September, they had a 10year anniversary celebration for the dairy barn. The dairy barn is now one of Bowling Green’s most popular businesses. For the anniversary celebration they offered family fun with hayrides, live music and of course, Chaney’s ice cream to all that attended the event.

The Jersey Narrative On this, the sixtieth anniversary of Jersey Journal, we take a look back at how it came to be and survey milestones in its history. Throughout this issue, advertisers and contributors to our editorial coverage share their thoughts about why this magazine engages their attention and how it serves their information and marketing needs. The kernel of these comments is that the Jersey Journal is essential because it tells stories. The stories are about all the people who own and nurture Jersey cattle for their livelihood. The stories also are about the animals themselves, as told each month and on practically every page in ads, articles, sale and show reports, and the occasional feature issue. Collectively, these stories are the definitive, living history of the Jersey breed in America, a visual and written chronicle of the Jersey business yesterday, today and tomorrow. When a company grows like Jersey has in this century, eyes pivot to see what is happening and why. From month to month, across the course of a year and then years, the answers are distilled here, on this Editorial page. Editorials in Jersey Journal reflect the policies for programs and services of the American Jersey Cattle Association and National All-Jersey Inc. as determined by their Boards of Directors, never departing from their respective mission statements and the pursuit of an overarching goal: “To make owning Jerseys more profitable than owning any other kind of dairy cattle.” Editorials provide background and present facts. Editorials identify issues and analyze events that affect the Jersey business. When organizational and breed goals are accomplished, they are observed in editorials. When there is work to be done to achieve our aims, it is urged through editorials. Editorials have covered a wide swath of topics in the 10 years since last reviewed for the magazine’s golden anniversary. Competitive levels of production, young sire sampling and genetic progress are as prominent now on the editorial page as they were in the first issues of Jersey Journal. But since 2009, genomics has taken us in new directions. Editorials have vigorously promoted genomic testing and looked at its value-add proposition within the herd and at national sales. Asked and answered was the question, “Do genomic proofs hold up?” The identification of Jersey Haplotype 1 and its causative mutation—both outcomes of genomic testing—were announced in editorials. october 2013
There has been no less emphasis on promoting identification, testing and type evaluation services than there ever was. But now they are linked through REAP, and the cost savings and convenience of that program are promoted. Because it meets the needs of herds large and small, REAP enrollments have surged since 2007. It has driven five consecutive years over 90,000 registrations, exceeding the 100,000 milestone last year. Those records have been reported in editorials. The “E” in REAP is Equity. You read on this page about the initiatives of National All-Jersey to enhance Jersey profitability. Sometimes, editorials ask for your direct involvement on policy issues like raising the federal minimum standards for fluid milk. Other times, the aim is sharing information. Findings from the carbon footprint study financed by NAJ reported here do have implications for growing markets for Jersey milk. The past 10 years have brought an increase in editorials that analyze industry reports that contain data related to Jersey breed growth in the U.S. population. The annual semen sales reports from NAAB are one example of grist for the editorial mill, the NDHIA data on national culling trends reported in August another. In sum, the Journal’s editorials leave no question about the direction in which the breed and the organizations are headed, along with the whys and the hows. The narrative presented to people across the dairy industry, both at home and abroad, is that Jersey is progressive and growing. It invites more attention to Jerseys, because nothing succeeds like success. Never has our story been as dynamic than it is at present and promises to be in the future. On this sixtieth anniversary, we thank all who have supported the Jersey Journal with your subscription and the feedback you send to us. It encourages our utmost efforts to make your magazine an indispensable resource. We especially thank the advertisers. Whether you are a contract or occasional advertiser, you make it possible to publish the Jersey Journal. As we look forward to the next major milestone—2018 and the 150th anniversary of the American Jersey Cattle Association—the Jersey Journal will continue as the place where the stories of Jersey breeders and their herds are collected and the narrative of Jersey breed progress and growth is shared with every imaginable audience.

DEFINING MOMENTS
60 Years of Dedicated Jersey News
T
he October 2013 issue of the Jersey Journal marks 60 years of publication. The magazine, which is the official breed publication of the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA), is the only monthly news piece in the world devoted entirely to Jerseys. In an editorial carried in the first issue on October 5, 1953, it was written, “One of the purposes of the Jersey Journal will be to have the type of information in its editorial columns and advertising pages to help the man who milks Jerseys for a living to make a better living with them ... This is your magazine. We want it to serve you.” That purpose has guided production of the publication through six decades. The Jersey Journal has been the vehicle by which the AJCA, formerly called the American Jersey Cattle Club (AJCC), communicates with members, advocates for change and celebrates achievements. The success of the Jersey Journal mirrors the success of the breed itself. Though the Jersey Journal has been published for 60 years, the idea for the breed newspaper was preceded by several other publications. First there was The Monthly Bulletin of The American Jersey Cattle Club, published from July 1877 until it was suspended in 1880. Then came The Jersey Bulletin—the first magazine published exclusively as a dairy breed paper—in 1883. The Bulletin was an independent publication, established by Dennis H. Jenkins, a railway clerk in Indianapolis, Ind. Seven decades later, when The Jersey Bulletin failed to keep up with the times and ceased to fill the needs of Jersey breeders at the grass roots level, the cattle club discussed its options. One possibility was purchase of The Jersey Bulletin. When cost made this unfeasible, the AJCC board unanimously approved publication of its own organ, the Jersey Journal, at its regular meeting in September 1953. The move was bold and not without controversy.
However, just a month later, the magazine was born. In November, the AJCC was able to purchase The Jersey Bulletin for a reasonable price. The subscription lists of the two publications were merged and a joint issue of both magazines was published on November 5, 1953. In the 60 years since, the Jersey Journal has been the voice of the Jersey breed. The magazine is successful today, in an era of dwindling print media, because it is a niche publication for a growing dairy breed. The editorial and advertising content of the Jersey Journal today—focused on helping Jersey breeders better manage their herds and breed better cows—looks much like the inaugural issue. The first issue included listings for production and type classifications, sale reports, show reports, editorials, board meeting highlights, results of the milk program trademark naming contest and a feature called, “The Jersey Cow. How much does she weight? How much should she weigh?” The 92-page issue included 54 pages of paid advertising from 112 advertisers, many congratulating the club for its move to publish the magazine and promising support. This issue of the Jersey Journal includes genetic listings, sale reports, show reports, an editorial, a listing of Jersey breeders contributing to Project Equity and several features on the 60th anniversary of the magazine. The 104-page issue includes 56 pages of paid advertising from 160 advertisers, with an additional 10 states advertising as state pages. Like the first issue, many advertisers congratulate the Journal for six decades of publication. No longer just a hard-copy print publication, the Jersey Journal has augmented the way it communicates with readers and is now available online, has a Facebook page, Tweets and hosts, designs and manages breeder websites through JerseySites. In the timeline that follows, Jersey breeders can get a glimpse of the history not only of the Jersey Journal, but breed progress as well.

Chittenden: Dutch Hollow has been a contract advertiser in the Journal since January 1981. Our family at Fair Weather Farms was a contract advertiser way back, including the inaugural issue of the publication in October 1953. We have been reading the magazine since it was first published. Ewing: I was involved with the publication indirectly through A.I. organizations such as Curtiss Breeding Service and American Breeders Service (now ABS Global) for many years, but had little input most of the time. Highland Farms: Highland Farms has been a contract advertiser with the Jersey Journal since 1965. As a family, we have been reading the Journal since it was established in 1953. Some members of the family remember reading the magazine’s predecessor, the Jersey Bulletin, for many years as well. Huffard: Huffard Dairy Farms has been a contract advertiser with the Jersey Journal since 1977. I have been reading the Journal forever

The Jersey Journal: As Always, the “Voice of the Jersey Breed” Through six decades of publication, the Jersey Journal has been blessed with a loyal and interested following. The inaugural issue was full of messages from Jersey breeders congratulating the American Jersey Cattle Club (AJCC) for its bold move to begin its publication. This issue contains similar celebratory messages from Jersey breeders, who are proud of what their breed publication has become. The Jersey Journal is the kind of magazine readers keep for years as reference material and one that is frequently demanded as a hard copy even in this digital era so it can be read coverto-cover in the house, at the barn or on the tractor. “On many farms, the Journal is the first thing that is read after it hits the mailbox,” said Dr. John C. Wilk of Raleigh, N.C., who was advertising manager for the magazine from 1956-1958 and received both the Distinguished Service Award and the Award for Meritorious Service from the Jersey organizations for his lifelong contributions to the breed. “It deals exclusively with a subject Jersey breeders are interested in—the Jersey cow. They want to know what everyone else is doing and what is happening with the breed.” “The Journal is the Jersey breeder’s Bible,” noted Maurice E. Core, who was managing editor of the publication from 1969-1979 and led the national Jersey organizations as executive secretary from 1985 until he retired in 1993. “It is one piece of mail they anticipate getting every month.” It is not uncommon for readers to call the office and say, “Hey my neighbor got his copy of the Journal yesterday. Why don’t I have mine?” The information disseminated in the Jersey Journal reaches beyond the farm gate and domestic borders. “One of the things I vividly remember from a trip to South Africa in the 1990s was three people on a farm I visited jockeying to get the latest copy of the Jersey Journal, which I had brought with me,” recalled Dr. Wilk. “In the end, it was the guy who locked himself in the bathroom who got the magazine!” “What we do in the U.S. is important to every Jerseyowning country in the world,” he continued. The Jersey Journal is the vehicle that lets the world know what we are accomplishing. “There are lots of countries with Jersey cows that are not in the fortunate position of having a publication like the Jersey Journal.” Voice of the Jersey Breed In the first issue of the publication in October 1953, Frank B. Astroth, AJCC President, wrote, “Those of us who milk Jerseys for a living, and no one else, own this magazine. Certainly we may say the Club owns it, but we own and operate the Club. The purpose of the Jersey Journal will be to give better news coverage, more helpful articles to breeders, lower rates for advertisers, larger circulation, and more promotion to the Jersey cow.” “The Jersey Journal has been the association’s #1 tool for communicating with breeders coast-to-coast,” commented Core. “It helped us introduce new programs, like REAP and Project Equity, and explain why Jersey breeders should participate.” The Jersey Journal was key in gaining acceptance among members for programs that required changes in or-
Page 26
ganization bylaws, including the Genetic Recovery program in 1974. It was the vehicle that promoted participation in the revitalized All American Jersey Show and Sale in 1958 and supported a number of other special events, such as the alldonation National Heifer Sales in 2005 and 2011, which respectively funded the AJCC Research Foundation and national youth programs and Jersey Youth Academy. The national Jersey organizations used the Jersey Journal to advocate the use of high-production bulls to increase production in the 1960s and 1970s and push for the adoption of multiple component pricing in Federal Milk Marketing Orders across the country. The publication has educated Jersey breeders on a wide range of topics, including linear type traits, genetic abnormalities and, most recently, genomics. “The Jersey breed has been so successful in recent years largely because it has been able to manage information that is communicated about the breed to breeders through the Jersey Journal,” noted Dr. Wilk. Certainly the new records for participation in key breed programs in 2012 would not have come about without a tool like the Jersey Journal. New Era Though the purpose of the Jersey Journal is the same today as it was in 1953, technology has made the production process far different. “When I worked for the magazine, I essentially lived out of my car during the show and sale seasons,” said Dr. Wilk. “I checked out of my rooming house in Columbus when the state fairs started and then traveled cross-country on the show circuit. Between shows, I tried to visit 4-5 farms a day to drum up advertising business.” In this era that preceded the information age, door-to-door sales and face-to-face communication were the most effective means of selling advertising. “One of my most memorable and rewarding herd visits was to Sunbeam Farms in Cherryville, N.C.,” Dr. Wilk recalled. “They had lots of good cows and a nice farm and I had an advertising slot on the back inside cover to sell. It was a challenge for me to convince owner C. Grier Beam, who had advertised in the magazine before, but not frequently, he could benefit from advertising. I spent the whole day looking at the herd and gave him a marketing plan that included the first 3-4 months of advertising.” Grier bought Wilk’s ideas and became a contract advertiser with the Jersey Journal in April 1957. Sunbeam Farms placed a full-page advertisement on the inside back cover the following month and held the spot for nearly a decade before it was dispersed in November 1969. Jersey Journal staff members continue this practice of creating advertisements for Jersey breeders today, largely because they have an understanding of both the dairy industry and the printing business. Staff members typically write and design 90% of the advertisements placed by Jersey breeders. The balance of Jersey breeder advertisements, and most allied industry advertisements, are produced by outside sources. “Try ads,” a practice that was effective for the magazine (continued to page 28)

it seems. It has always been a must-read and resource for Jersey information. Lyon: We have advertised in the Jersey Journal since the late 1950s and been a contract advertiser since November 1981. We began reading the Jersey Bulletin in the 1940s and have subscribed to the Jersey Journal since its inception in 1953. Rector: D&E Jerseys has advertised in the Journal since 1980 and been a contract advertiser since April 1998. Personally, I have been a reader and advertiser for nearly 40 years. What stories were most memorable? What ads do you think were most memorable or effective? Chittenden: We always enjoy the preannual meeting issues in May or June that feature herds in the state or region hosting the meetings. Perhaps some of the most memorable issues have been those that featured the Great Cow Contests and some of the special sire issues. Ewing: The most memorable issue for me was the special issue for “Top Brass,” in which I contributed much of the write-ups. I also enjoyed the advertising program developed by High Lawn Farms (Lee, Mass.). Highland Farms: For us at Highland Farms, the “Duncan” and “Lester” issues were the most memorable. We have enjoyed the other special sire issues as well. We feel the advertisements from other breeders and A.I. organizations have helped us with our breeding decisions. Huffard: I enjoy most of the articles that are written. Some of the more interesting stories are those on breeders in the state hosting the annual meetings. Many of the people and herds featured in these stories are not regular advertisers and this is a good way to get to know them and what makes their operations successful. I always enjoyed the Ogston (Columbus, N.J.) ads of years past. They were informative and thought-provoking. Lyon: I have always enjoyed the stories about various farms. The advertisers I remember are many. Marlu Farm (Lincroft, N.J.), Sweet Jerseys (Sixes, Ore.) and Cedarcrest (Faunsdale, Ala.) all had really good advertising programs. Rector: The most memorable stores to me are the yearly profiles on the Master Breeder recipients. They give me insight into what it takes to make a great Jersey breeder and how they accomplish such an honor. Why would you encourage other Jersey breeders or allied industry to subscribe to the Jersey Journal or place advertisements? Chittenden: The Jersey Journal has been and continues to be the newspaper of our breed. If you want to reach the Jersey audioctober 2013
ence, it’s the place to be. Ewing: I think good advertising is effective in promoting one’s product, semen or cattle, for example. But really, it is not if you promote, but, is your advertising program effective? Highland Farms: We would encourage other Jersey breeders or allied industry to subscribe to become aware of what is happening in the Jersey breed at all levels—on the farm and state and national levels—and stay abreast of what is happening at the Jersey association. As well, the publication can help build lasting relationships with other Jersey breeders and encourage youth to get involved
with Jerseys. The Journal allows us to showcase, promote and grow our Jersey breed and promote all the work the little brown cow has done for us and continues to do. It is a place for allied industry to showcase their products and be Jersey specific. For breeders, advertising is a very important tool in building and strengthening your breed stock business. Huffard: Of course, if one has something to sell, the Journal reaches the ones most likely to buy. It also provides an avenue to educate and promote your animals and breeding program. Lyon: The Journal is really the only place (continued to page 28)

during Core’s tenure, are also done to sell advertising now. Jersey breeders can either place or refuse these speculative advertisements created by the staff. A recent program that boosts advertising in the publication and adds value to enrollment in REAP is the REAP Advertising Advantage. With the program, Jersey breeders enrolled on REAP receive a $100 annual discount on a Jersey Journal advertisement that is at least a half page in size. This program has enabled many Jersey breeders to advertise in the magazine for the first time. The two technologies that have most changed the way the magazine is produced and the information that is presented are computers and the internet. In the early years, copy for advertisements and editorial was either mailed or hand-delivered to the printer. Text was typeset on a machine at the printer and then laid out on a proof sheet. Jersey Journal staff members proof read the entire magazine at the printer checking for errors—a process that took an entire day to accomplish. Plates were then made and the magazine printed. Today the front end of that process is done entirely in the Journal office in Reynoldsburg, Ohio. Advertisements and editorial are produced digitally with three software programs—Microsoft Word, Adobe Photoshop and Adobe InDesign— and sent to the printer as digital documents over the internet. Staff members proof hard copy materials from the printer within a matter of days and then plates are made and the magazine printed. The computer age ushered in more opportunities for color and creative design. “During my tenure, the use of color was a big deal and there were few people we could even talk to about using it,” said Core. “What the Journal does today is great, not only from a cost standpoint, but use standpoint as well.” “I was thrilled today when I went to the post office and got my September issue—128 pages, perfect bound and full of beautiful ads and wonderful stories about young Jersey people.” Equally proud of the breed publication, Dr. Wilk remarked, “It is an exciting time to be in the business because there is so much information available. I envy Journal staff members for being able to work on the magazine today because they have a wealth of genetic information at their fingertips, from pedigrees that extend a dozen generations back to genomic evaluations on young heifers and bulls with no progeny.” Only time will tell the particulars of what will be reported in the Jersey Journal in the next six decades. For sure, it will be everything Jersey.

you can get news of the breed and keep up with who is doing what. You reach a segment of the industry that you can’t reach otherwise. Rector: By subscribing to and reading the Journal, you see what a company or breeder has to offer and where they are going—with an emphasis on Jerseys. The reverse is true for advertising. You are showing what you have to offer and where you are headed. What role has the Jersey Journal played in the management of your herd? Chittenden: The Jersey Journal lets us stay abreast of what other breeders are doing and what cows and families they are promoting and developing. The management articles are always interesting—there’s always an opportunity to learn something new. Highland Farms: The Jersey Journal has and continues to be helpful with sire selection decisions. The management articles and feature stories on farms are informative. It keeps us all aware of new information affecting our beautiful little brown cow. Huffard: Nutrition articles specific to Jerseys are very helpful and useful. Sale animals advertised and expanded upon by the consignor always seem to be effective and create interest, especially if it is a pedigree I find intriguing. Lyon: The Jersey Journal helps us keep in tune with what cattle are selling for, what the AJCA is doing as far as breed programs and what bulls are available for us. Rector: The Jersey Journal has allowed us to locate animals for sale and to contact breeders directly to inquire about a purchase. As well, we can find new cow families that may help us increase the genetic diversity in the herd. We have also used the articles on research, especially Jersey specific research, to modify our management to improve areas such as calf raising. How does Jersey Journal advertising fit into your overall marketing plan? How has advertising benefitted your business? Chittenden: The Jersey Journal is a major part of our marketing program. We believe name recognition is very important to buyers, especially new breeders or those who may not be as knowledgeable about our breed. We think continued advertising gives potential buyers confidence in our breeding program and lets them know we are a stable and reputable business. We also believe we owe it to our customers to continue to promote the cow families they have invested in. Ewing: Speaking from an A.I. standpoint, advertising is imperative. I recall on some bull contracts we had an advertising clause stipulating that the breeder/owner would participate in “so much” advertising. In my opinion, all advertising has some intangible
Page 28
JERSEY JOURNAL
properties that hopefully contribute to a cumulative result that is positive. Highland Farms: The Journal fits into our overall marketing plan by providing information on what is current in the industry and a place to promote our new things or ideas. We always advertise our sale consignments and think it alerts breeders to what we have available. The Journal has helped us in the past to promote “Duncan” and “Lester” and many other sires. Huffard: The magazine is an important part of sharing information on bulls and cows with fellow Jersey breeders. The many positive comments we have received over the years concerning our ads makes me a believer that advertising is effective and that readers enjoy the information. If one is serious about marketing their breeding and genetics program, then advertising in the Journal is a requirement for success. Lyon: We look at Jersey Journal advertising as an image builder and not so much as a direct sales tool. We think it increases the value of the whole herd. Rector: We use the Jersey Journal to let breeders know what we have for sale and the A.I. industry know what we have for potential contract matings. It has allowed us to make the name D&E Jerseys recognized nationally and internationally and encouraged visitors from around the world to stop in and view our animals and farm.
Ewing: I’m sure there has been more than one. But, one I felt was very effective was an ad that used a “real group shot” of “Generator” daughters (I was with Curtiss Breeding Service at the time and the bull eventually went to ABS). Today many group shots are used and I think they are very effective. A good example is the “Magnum” ad using a daughter group shot. Though “Magnum” cows would not be very high in a Jersey show lineup, I think they would be very appealing for dairy producers who sell milk for a living or need milk to generate an income. Highland Farms: The stories and ads that have brought the most attention have been the feature stories on Highland Farms, the history-of-the-train series celebrating 100 years with Registered Jerseys and, as mentioned before, the two issues dedicated to “Duncan” and “Lester.” Huffard: Most certainly, and I am sometimes surprised by the ones receiving the most comments. Our recent ad featuring “Critic-P” using the headline “Changing the Heads of the Jersey Breed” garnered responses both domestically and internationally. Of course, the ad referred to the fact that he was polled and, being the top polled bull at the time, heavily used. In years past, ads featuring bulls such as “Legend” and “Hallmark” spurred interest in breeders who, in turn, informed us how their daughters were
doing in their herds. As well, several ads that featured full pedigrees of some of our top cows generated responses, especially from international customers. This prompted visits to the website as well, where they could find more information about the cow families and extended pedigrees. Lyon: We advertised bulls out of the “Character” a lot in recent years and they certainly brought attention not only to her, but the whole herd. Rector: As mentioned earlier, ads have encouraged visitors from around the world to plan a visit to D&E Jerseys while in the U.S. These visitors have inquired about females and sires produced in the herd and how they could use those genetics in their own herds. What are some key points you consider when developing an ad or series of ads? Is there anything you consider to be a “must have” in an ad? What do you notice about other breeders’ ads? Chittenden: Timing is usually the key in developing our ads—what sales are being featured, what breed activities are going on, what program is being featured? We think some color and pictures are important in developing attractive ads. Ewing: This question will give me an opportunity to try and frame just how I would (continued to page 31)
How does the Jersey Journal fit into your long range herd management plans? Chittenden: Certainly the Jersey Journal will continue to be our main source of promotion as well as a source of information on sire selection and cow families. Highland Farms: The Jersey Journal has always been a part of our long range management plan as a place to promote our business and exciting milestones at Highland Farms. Huffard: Whether reading or advertising, the Journal is a publication I deem necessary. Lyon: There are certainly articles in the Jersey Journal that are informative as to the management of our herd, however, we look at the Jersey Journal mostly for information about the breed and Jersey breeders. Rector: We will continue to use the Jersey Journal to promote our breeding program and future sale consignments and prospects. We will also use the Jersey Journal to keep up-to-date with Jersey research and use newfound information as needed. Has a particular ad drummed up business or generated communication? Chittenden: I’m not sure any particular ad has created business, but the continued promotion of our best cow families make other Jersey breeders familiar with them. The polled factor has probably generated as much communication as anything. october 2013

look at the whole scope of what your product is, what your strengths as a dairy breed are and how information on these strengths should be presented. Herein lies a touchy point in my mind. I believe the Jersey Journal as of forever, but certainly now with color, presents the show ring as being one of the main reasons I would want to own Jerseys. And, why should the magazine not emphasize the show-ring kind when they pay for the ads? However I feel the show-ring kind of Jersey has little or no influence on the positive acceptance of the breed in recent years. I would list in order three things I believe might head the list: yield and production traits, component pricing, and other traits such as reproduction efficiency that can’t be (are being) quantified today. More emphasis should be put on the production kind. Highland Farms: Some key points we consider are: always be positive and promote the brown cow and family at Highland Farms. A must have for any ad we create for Highland Farms is to include “oldest continuous Registered Jersey herd in the United States.” Huffard: One should always include the important farm information. Color is a plus and one way to add visibility to an ad. The ad headline is also a way to entice the reader. Lyon: Don’t overload the ad with too much information. Keep the copy legible and simple. Try to include only what is interesting. Rector: To me, one of the must-haves in an advertising series is a constant message and look. D&E Jerseys has been using the headline “Persistent Production” with a different subhead for nearly every ad that has been placed since May 2007. The subhead changes each month to accommodate what
october 2013
we are advertising that month. The turquoisecolored background and design are picked up from month-to-month so readers notice right off the ad is from D&E. I also think you need to determine your goals and what is important to you and make sure these are portrayed in your ad. As a breeder, I especially appreciate ads that use photos of cows in their “working clothes” and photos that show the cow as she is, so I feel I can walk into the herd and find the cow on my own without having to ask. What have you learned about advertising in the Jersey Journal over the years? Chittenden: When it’s all said and done, it is really about name recognition. Ewing: At some point in time, most purebred breeds have had a brain disconnect and selected for some kind of unproductive animal. The beef breeds are a wonderful example. The Angus, Hereford and Shorthorn cattle selected for the little, compact kind that was all gut and hair and no meat. So the exotics came into the picture. Angus moved out first and bred some good meat producing animals. Shorthorns have yet to recover. Herefords probably never were too good in the first place. So the end result in the beef industry is that we have a lot of crossbreds. Why did Angus rebound? Because they selected for size and muscle and have an advantage of reproduction—just like the Jersey breed. Read the editorial for the August 2013 issue of the Jersey Journal. Highland Farms: It is important to constantly keep your name visible to everyone and extenuate the positive influences. Huffard: It has proven to be an effective marketing and informational medium. Lyon: We think it is an image builder for our herd and adds value to the whole herd. Rector: When creating ads, the old saying
about a picture being worth a thousand words is absolutely true. You also need to keep the ad simple as people get sensory overload. If you have too much information, they lose sight of the message. Another key is to advertise on a continual basis and keep the message consistent. Another basic that goes without saying—let people know where you are. How do you tie in Jersey Journal advertising to other forms of business marketing such as the internet and social media? Chittenden: There is no question that modern technology has changed the face of advertising, but we still like to sit back in our easy chair in the evening and read the Journal—no keys to punch, no buttons to push, just turn on the reading light and relax. Ewing: What is the internet (social media)? Highland Farms: In today’s high-tech world, the internet and social media are just another tool to promote our business and gather information to help grow our business. We still enjoy flipping and turning the pages of the Jersey Journal. Huffard: The Journal has a targeted audience (Jersey folks) and is a proven media for breeders. We have also had tremendous interest in our website from both Jersey and non-Jersey viewers. I appreciate all the advertisers and the work of the staff to make the Jersey Journal a first-class publication. Lyon: They are all part of the program, but people still like the hard copy. The Jersey Journal is the only magazine we get that is kept around so we can re-read it. Rector: Currently the only other advertising we do is a web page through the Jersey Journal. The two go hand-in-hand. Whatever we advertise in the magazine is also posted on the website in some manner so it is available around the clock and around the globe.

PERFORMANCE REPORT
REAP Herds Ranked By GJPI Average The top 25% of U.S. Jersey herds ranked by average Jersey Performance IndexTM are listed below. This list includes qualifying herds with an average GJPI of +55 or greater. Listed next to the number of cows in the herd is the percent of the herd that has been genotyped and are included in the average. Herds must be enrolled in the AJCA REAP program to be included in the ranking and have at least 10 Registered Jerseys with JPIs. Cows with genomic evaluations are included in the average. All cows must have registry status of HR (no prefix), GR or PR, and must have calved within the past 15 months with no termination code associated with the current lactation. In the case of ties, the herd ranked higher for Predicted Transmitting Ability Protein (PTAP) is listed first. Any herds that remain tied are then listed in order of herd average for PTA Milk (PTAM). There are 206 herds listed with an average JPI of +70. Maintaining
the top ranking for the fifth consecutive genetic summary is Gerald Laufenberg, Mount Horeb, Wis. His 21-cow herd averages +121 GJPI with 81% of the herd being genotyped. David Allen, Reedsburg, Wis., has the second high ranking herd in the nation with a GJPI of +117 on 66 cows (59% genotyped). Tony Meier, Palmer, Kan., ranks third with 28 cows averaging +114 for GJPI (79% genotyped). Coming in fourth in their debut to the list is Sexing Technologies, San Antonio, Texas, with an average GJPI of +113 on 18 cows with 56% of the herd genotyped. Rounding out the top five is the 42 cow herd of Oomsdale Farm, Valatie, N.Y. The herd has an average GJPI of +111 and is 67% genotyped. There were 112,643 cows in 818 REAP herds summarized in the August 2013 genetic evaluations with an average JPI of +54. PTA averages for the breed were +277M, +18F, +11P, +150 CM$, +138 NM$ and +130 FM$.

Jersey breeders who are just beginning to read the Jersey Journal may have wondered why some Jersey breeder advertisements are grouped together on a page by state and others are not. Advertisements on a “state page” are grouped as such because the state’s Jersey organization has chosen to participate in the state page rebate program offered by the Jersey Journal. State Jersey organizations that participate in the program today are: California, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and Wisconsin. The New England Jersey Cattle Association also participates as a state page and includes Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont. Each state page features a banner at the top with information about the state Jersey organization and a listing in the magazine’s advertising index on page 8. There are financial incentives and other benefits to state Jersey organizations and individual breeders for participating in the state page rebate program, including discounted advertising rates. In this month’s Jersey Jargon column, we’ll take a closer look at the program and explain how you and your state can benefit. A Bit of History The concept for the state page has been in place in the Jersey Journal since its inception in 1953, as Jersey breeders strove to promote travel to their part of the country and business on their farms. The first page of advertising that resembles today’s state page was placed by the Illinois Jersey Cattle Club in the third issue on November 20, 1953. A banner at the top of the full-page advertisement included the club’s president and secretary and the slogan, “Star State of the Star Breed.” Five different Jersey breeders placed advertisements on the page. Michigan Jersey breeders took opportunity to promote business in their state in the early years, placing advertisements on page 48 of three consecutive issues beginning in January 20, 1954. The headline of the first ad read, “Come to Michigan for Jerseys that are tested and classified and that will make more money for you.” The first advertisement to be included in the magazine’s index as a state page was placed by the Vermont Jersey Cattle Club in March 20, 1954. The ad identified
the organization’s president and secretary and 49 breeders across the state. It used a slogan still used by the organization today, “Vermont Jerseys—None Better,” and encouraged Jersey breeders to visit the state following the annual meeting of the American Jersey Cattle Club in Massachusetts. Vermont holds the distinction of being the longest-running state page; today it is a part of the page for New England Jersey breeders. The first special section of the Jersey Journal was published for the Kentucky Jersey Cattle Club in April 5, 1954. The 19-page, two-color booklet included 13 pages of advertising, five pages of editorial and a listing of Kentucky breeders. How the Program Works Today Even today, a state page in the Jersey Journal is the most convenient means of locating Jersey breeders by state or region, along with the Jersey Directory, which is published by the magazine every 18 months and lists Jersey breeders by state. The state page rebate program offers discounts to individual breeders and a rebate to the state Jersey organization if a certain number of advertising pages are placed during the year. Jersey breeders living in a state that participates in the program are entitled to contract advertising rates. If enough pages of advertising are placed with the Jersey Journal during the year, the state Jersey organization is entitled to a 10% cash rebate. Refunds are given for 12 or more pages placed by a minimum of 10 breeders during the year. Refunds can also be earned if at least 18 pages are placed by any number of breeders during the year. Breeders that place 18 or more pages of advertising and live in a participating state are not eligible to participate in both the state program and the individual volume discount; they must choose one or the either. States generally use this money to finance their own programs. Many have used their refunds to host a website on JerseySites, including California, Iowa, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Vermont and Wisconsin. Last year, more than $11,300 was dispersed to state Jersey associations, with checks ranging from $2,041.48 to $672.48. California led the way with 36 pages of advertising. Other states earning rebates were: New York, Wisconsin, New England, Oregon, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Iowa.

Call Issued for Jersey Research Proposals
The AJCC Research Foundation has issued a request for research proposals to be funded in 2014 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 en-

hanced 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, 2013. The AJCA Research Advisory Committee will evaluate the proposals, then forward its funding recommendations in March 2014 to the AJCA Board of Directors. Since 1988, the Foundation has awarded approximately $881,500 in seed money for selected projects. For more information about the Competitive Grants Program, contact Cari W. Wolfe, Director of Research and Genetic Programs Development, at 614/322-4453.

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 $10.4 million in the program through 2012 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
you is extended to the 1,038 producers who participated in Project Equity from September 1, 2012, to August 31, 2013 (listed below). If your name has been inadvertently omitted, please contact the staff of National All-Jersey Inc. so that an update may be published in a future issue of the Jersey Journal.

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.

Search engine optimization (SEO) is often a second thought when developing a website or blog. However, with more and more material finding a home on the World Wide Web on a daily basis, it is becoming increasingly important to make sure sites are properly identified to ensure maximum views. SEO refers to the process in which search engines (Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc.) categorize and index a webpage to show among search results. For example, a search for “Jersey cows” yields results that the search engine deemed the most relevant to the topic. This process is important to those creating content for the web, because what good is content that is not being viewed? By assuring a web presence is search engine optimized, users can feel confident their material is being viewed by their target audience. Once a web presence has been established, the next step is to categorize the site and investigate what keyword searches internet user’s type in order to achieve results similar to the content of the web presence being created. Websites like Google Keyword Planner, or Google Explore Terms, lets users identify what keywords and combinations might yield the highest results for a website. Once key search words and phrases have been identified, web page builders insert the terms into the meta tag space within the coding of a website. These meta tags are not visible on the actual webpage, but used by search engines to send results. Bloggers need only “tag” their different posts with the keywords they have identified. These tags are generally visible and work like a social media hashtag, in that once a tag is clicked on, content with the same tag will be shown in a results page. Once a user has the appropriate keywords inserted into a website or blog, search engines will comb through the “tags” to determine a search result ranking. Creating a user-friendly website or blog filled with valuable content is just half the battle. Getting a web presence noticed by the search engines is a valuable part of building a strong online reputation and the key to all kinds of web commerce.
