No professional pictures? No problem!

Something we hear every now and then from breeders is that they don’t have any professional pictures of their cows, and that is why they don’t want to place an ad. We say, that is ok! Over the past year, we have done a number of ads without professional cow pictures.

We are happy to work with your barn candids, show pictures that we have taken or from the Bullvine or Cowsmopolitan or other images you have. Photos should be taken on a camera or be a high-quality phone image. Screenshots of photos will not be accepted.

Any cattle found with ringworm, warts, mange or scab shall be removed from the premises of the show.

Show management is responsible for maintaining records of persons who have exhibited at the show and the identification of animals shown for 2 years.

An award will be given in all the female classes for the highest placing animal bred and owned by exhibitor; partnership animals are eligible for Bred & Owned award as long as original breeder(s) and owner(s) maintains part ownership. Breeder is to be determined as the owner of the dam at the time of the service; where a herd is registered in the names of different members of a family residing on one farm, and everyone is using the same prefix, all entries may be considered as Bred and Owned by Exhibitor. Junior Bred and Owned: To be eligible for Junior Bred & Owned, the name(s) listed as breeder and owner on the registration certificate must be the same. Adult-Junior partnerships are not acceptable. Partnerships will not qualify for Junior Bred & Owned awards unless all partners are WHA junior members and listed on the certificate under breeder and owner.

THE PUREBRED DAIRY CATTLE ASSOCIATION SHOW RING CODE OF ETHICS

Please visit the PDCA website at www.purebreddairycattle.com/pages/Literature.php to read the complete Show Ring Code of Ethics.

The showing of registered dairy cattle stimulates and sustains interest in the breeding of registered dairy cattle. It is also an important part of the promotion, merchandising and breeding program of many breeders. For these reasons, the Purebred Dairy Cattle Association (PDCA) believes that it is in the best interest of all breeders of registered dairy cattle to maintain a reputation of integrity in dairy cattle shows and to present a wholesome and progressive image of dairy cattle in the show ring.

PDCA endorses this Show Ring Code of Ethics for all dairy breed shows and pledges its full cooperative support for its enforcement to show management, show judges, and the national breed associations.

The application of this Code of Ethics provides for absolute responsibility for an animal’s condition by an owner, exhibitor, fitter or participant whether or not he or she was actually instrumental in or had actual knowledge of the treatment of the animal in contravention of this Code of Ethics. Dairy cattle exhibitors shall, at all times, deport themselves with honesty and good sportsmanship.

It is recognized that there are certain practices in the proper care and management of dairy cattle that are necessary in the course of moving dairy cattle to and between shows that are advisable to keep them in a sound, healthy state so they might be presented in the show ring in a natural, normal condition. At all times, exhibition livestock shall be treated in a humane manner and in accordance with dairy quality assurance practices so as to protect the health, safety and welfare of the livestock and the consuming public. No person shall present for exhibition or exhibit an animal which he or she knows, or has reason to suspect, is affected with or has been exposed to a dangerously contagious or infectious disease, or illegal or nonapproved use of drugs, medication and/or prohibited substance, or residue.

The position of the Purebred Dairy Cattle Association is that all animals presented for exhibition shall be in their natural conformation and structure, free of any alteration or modification by injection or internal or external administration of any substance or by any involvement in unethical fitting. EXHIBITOR RESPONSIBILITY

The act of entering an animal in a livestock show is the giving of consent by the owner, exhibitor, fitter and/or absolutely responsible person (hereinafter referred to as “Exhibitor”) for show management to obtain any specimens of urine, saliva, blood, milk, or other substances from the animal to be used in testing. Materials may also be collected by ultrasound and photographic methods and by direct examination of animal. The act of entering an animal is the giving of consent by the owner, exhibitor, fitter and/or absolutely responsible person (the “Exhibitor”) to have disciplinary action for violation of this Show Ring Code of Ethics taken by show management, the state in which the show occurs, and/or the national dairy breed association without recourse.

WISCONSIN DAIRY SHOWCASE SHOW RING POLICY

Excessive manipulation of hair and/or the use of any hair not naturally attached to the animal or the use of any substance or material which is intended to resemble or imitate hair. We will follow the rules and guidelines set forth by WDE. 14. mistreatment of animals; 15. any un-sportsmanshiplike conduct during the event.

MONITORING PROCEDURES

The Ethics Committee, as defined below, shall have the authority to inspect all animals to determine if violations of the Wisconsin Holstein Association Show Ring Policy have occurred. To help in this regard, the Ethics Committee has the authority to perform and review results of the following: 1. When applicable, an ultrasound examination of the udder of selected animals immediately upon completion of respective milking class competition. It shall be the exhibitor’s responsibility to deliver selected cow to the designated testing area. Within a reasonable time following said testing, the ultrasound official shall submit his/her report to WHA. If an animal fails to show up for ultrasounding with a full udder, show placings will be revoked and reported to Holstein USA All-American contest officials. 2. a milk out of any individual cow and/or 3. the collection and testing of any of the animal’s body fluids and/or 4. the use of any other technology that may be useful in determining if a violation in any animal based on placement, random selection, or suspect characteristics. 5. The Ethics Committee or show chairman may, at any time, require the delivery to them of any hair samples or hypodermic syringe, needle, or other device, swabs, cloths, or other material, or samples or any medicine, preparation, or substance, whether in liquid or other form, in the possession or control of exhibitor, fitters, agents or person acting on behalf of the exhibitor for laboratory analysis.

ENFORCEMENT PROCEDURES

1. Local and District Chairs may appoint an Ethics Committee to monitor violations at any state sponsored shows. The Ethics Committee will be anonymous. 2. Complaints of alleged violations must be presented to the Show Chair or a member of the show management of the respective show immediately, except ultrasound results as noted above. 3. If it is suspected that a violation will occur if an animal is shown, the exhibitor will be informed by show managment that the showing of that animal may result in a violation of the WHA Show Ring Policy. If the exhibitor decides not to show that animal, no violation will have occurred. 4. All complaints of alleged violations (as is designated in Enforcement Procedure point #2) received by the Show Chairman or a member of the show management must be presented to the Wisconsin Holstein Association for review by an Ethics Committee within five (5) days of receiving notice of alleged violations, with the Ethics Committee to make a decision on the violations within ten (10) days of receiving such notice. 5. The WHA Executive Director will notify the accused exhibitor immediately of the Ethics Committee decision that a violation has occurred and all the supportive evidence will be shared with the exhibitor. Within thirty (30) days, the WHA Executive Committee shall review the findings from the Ethics Committee and make a recommendation to the WHA Board of Directors of the disciplinary action. The exhibitor will be able to participate in the Executive Committee meeting. The WHA Board of Directors shall meet on the same day to review the findings from the Ethics Committee, recommendations from the Executive Committee and hear any presentation the exhibitor wishes to present. 6. The accused exhibitor must notify WHA within seven (7) days of receiving the violation notice of their intent to participate in the Executive Committee and/or the WHA Board of Directors meeting, which is set for reviewing the evidence of the alleged violation(s) and the disciplinary action to be taken. 7. If the alleged violator is found in violation of the WHA Show Ring Policy, the WHA Board of Directors, at its discretion may pass onto the violator(s) its costs associated with the violations, enforcement and review of violation(s).

Costs associated with the review and/or appeals process must be paid in full; if this assessment is not paid in full the violator(s) will not be in “good standing” with the WHA and therefore be denied any and all membership benefits of the association (voting, showing, etc.). 8. WHA Board of Directors &/or the Ethics Committee may consider previous violations by an exhibitor in their decision of disciplinary action. (see*) 9. An animal found in violation of the WHA Show Ring Policy will receive no premium monies or awards or placing(s). 10. Under the Rules of the Show, the exhibitor agrees to accept as final and abide by the decision of the WHA Board of Directors. If the appeal of the exhibitor results in a modification of the position of the WHA Board of Directors, the exhibitor will be notified of the change in writing at such time. 11. During this entire process the WHA Board of Directors, the Ethics Committee, its staff and members will not be obligated to maintain confidentiality.

MADISON Animal & Dairy Sciences SENIOR SPOTLIGHT

Name: Jessica Noble Hometown: Burlington, WI School: Burlington Class Size: 280 Farm: Lone Chestnut Farm Major: Dairy Science with a certificate in Agricultural Business

Why did you decide to attend UW-Madison?

UW-Madison has an outstanding reputation for creating new pathways within the dairy industry. UW has a lot of faculty that has taken part in research that has propelled the industry forward and I wanted to be a part of that.

What has been your most memorable

college experience? My favorite experience was a Collegiate Farm Bureau study tour to California. We were able to see so many different aspects of agriculture, from sheep processing to olives. From almonds to California dairies, we saw all different crops and animals. It was very refreshing to see many different types of agriculture that Wisconsin does not have. What has been your favorite course? My favorite course has been Dairy Science 233 or 234. These herd management classes have been some of the most practical classes to take when going into dairy production. I was able to get a better understanding of a whole farm thinking for running a dairy.

Attention Dairy Showcase Exhibitors

What are your future career goals? I will be returning to my family’s dairy farm in southeastern Wisconsin. I will be running the operation with my father and younger brother. I am excited to become a partner in the operation and look forward to an ever changing dairy farm.

The Wisconsin Dairy Showcase will be held April 28 to May 1 at the Jefferson Fair Park in Jefferson. Complete rules, information and schedule can be found at www. wisholsteins.com. We will also be posting the exhibitor letter containing necessary information on the WHA website. We look forward to seeing you at the show! Midwest Spring National Holstein Show - May 1
