From the President - Steve Endres

Hello everyone!

is flying by, seems like it always does!

those of us who are football fans we don’t have to wait long for Packers training camp and Badger practices.

Instead of looking ahead, I first want to go back to report on district shows. Normally I am not someone who gets out much, but thanks to everyone on the farm covering for me, plus Kathy accompanying me, I made it to every district show. I did not see every class at every show, but I certainly caught most of them!

As I traveled around the state, I was able to check out the crops along the way. How are the corn and beans progressing? How do they look compared to other areas? What crop of hay is done? Is the wheat starting to ripen? These are the questions that go through my mind. My heart sank when we went through an area that had storm damage but at the same time, I was thankful for our own good fortune.

It was a great experience to meet breeders that I have heard of but had not had the chance to meet. I am now able to put a face with a name. It goes without saying that it is so great to see Holstein friends and acquaintances again!

One thing for sure is that there are great cattle in every district! It was amazing the strings that some farms brought out. There would be three or four really good heifers and then they would trot out several great cows as well! Across the board, there were many, many breeders who exhibited outstanding individual animals. Hopefully

our Championship Show entries are strong as there are many cattle that warrant being there. I am looking forward to seeing how they all line up at the show!

By the way, our judges did a great job placing the cattle, in my opinion. We had some well-seasoned judges as well as some young judges just starting to do District shows. All were impressive!

I want to thank the WHA staff, royalty, JACs and other volunteers involved, for they are essential to pulling these shows off. They all walk into a variety of situations and make them all work, which is especially challenging when there are six shows in one week!

It was surely my pleasure to take in these shows, meet breeders and chat with everyone!

State Fair is on the docket now. The WHA All-Breeds Futurity is on Saturday, August 13. As per usual, be sure and check the website and/or the News for more upcoming events!

Enjoy the remainder of the summer and take care.

Wisconsin Holstein Updates

Laura Wackershauser

The summer has flown by and we’re already gearing up for the last show of the summer, the Wisconsin Championship Show. I hope to see many of you in Madison, August 22-26 for the Summer Championship Show Series. Thank you to all those that made this year’s District Shows a success – the exhibitors who brought out almost 1300 head of cattle to the nine shows, the show chairs and committees that put in countless hours to organize the shows, the generous local sponsors that support the shows every year, and the great volunteers we had at each show. It takes a team to make each show run smoothly and I appreciate those that step up each year to help run each of the District Shows.

For those that have not heard, Charitee has taken another job and is no longer working for WHA. I’d like to thank her for all her hard work the past 2.5 years and wish her the best of luck in the new position. I’m sure you’ll see her around at ag events in the future! With that, we have an opening for a Director of Marketing and Membership here at Wisconsin Holstein. The position is responsible for maintaining our membership database, heading up our sponsorship and fundraising efforts and will be in charge of creating our social media marketing plan. If you think that sounds like you or someone you know, please contact me at the office. Applications are due September 1 and we’re hoping to have someone hired by late September.

Something we’re excited to announce is we’ve received a grant from DATCP to expand export opportunities for Wisconsin Holstein breeders. We’ll be working with International Protein Sires on a few projects to accomplish this goal, including travel to two foreign trade shows. We will have a booth at the two trade shows and will share marketing material from any interested WHA member. Breeders are asked to advertise in an upcoming issue of the Wisconsin Holstein News and extra copies of those ads, along with other WHA promotional pieces, will be handed out at the trade show. This is a great opportunity for breeders with genetics eligible for export to advertise to a new audience. If you are interested in more information, please contact me at the WHA office.

Richard K. Towns, age 90, of Edgerton, passed away peacefully on July 6, 2022, at his home with family surrounding him. He was born in Janesville on May 24, 1932, the son of Malcolm Mayo Towns and Bernadine Margaret (Holden) Towns and graduated from Edgerton High School in 1950. He grew up on his family’s dairy farm in the Town of Porter and successfully farmed most of his adult life on the family farm after returning from military service. He was recognized in the dairy industry for breeding and milking a high-quality Registered Holstein herd. He served as President of the Wisconsin Holstein Association and was awarded as a Wisconsin Distinguished Holstein Breeder.

Dick was a man of faith. He was confident of his relationship with God. He married Ruth E. Sunby on October 4, 1953, at the Methodist Church in Edgerton. He loved his church in Fulton, which he attended his entire life. He volunteered to serve in many roles over his 90 years in the church including trustee, deacon and AWANA youth leader and building committee.

Rock County benefited from Richard’s willingness to serve his community. He served for 18 years on the Porter Town board and

18 years on the Rock County board. He was also active with county agriculture groups including Rock County Ag Business leaders and Rock County Dairy Promotion. The Edgerton Rotary recognized him as an Honored Citizen in 2008.

Richard and his wife of 68 years, Ruth, raised five sons together. He loved his family and supported and cheered for them in their various activities. He was also an avid Wisconsin sports fan and was happy to discuss the latest scores and trades. One of his greatest pleasures was to have the whole group together for a meal.

He is survived by his wife, Ruth; four sons: Steve (Debi), Mark (Pat), John (Lisa) and Scott (Nancy) and daughter-in-law Arlene; 12 grandchildren: Tamara (John), Rachel (Scott), Matthew (Betsy), Ben (JoLyn), Caroline (Clayton), Brian (Beth), Becky, Adam (Jen), Jason (Jessi), Danny (Nina), Travis (Emily) and Austin; and very proud of his 21 great grandchildren; sister, Helen Walker of Waupaca; sister-in-law, Mary Sunby and other extended family and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents; son, Bruce; sister, Ruth, mother-in-law, Velma Herrington, brother and sisters-in-law Ben Hippe, Joe Walker, Gene Sunby, Roger and Donna Sunby, and grandson-in-law Daryn Allen.

Hello, Holstein Fans! Wow! This summer has flown by, filled with fun activities and events. Elena and I spent most of June traveling to each of the WHA District Shows. We put on a lot of miles but created many memories in the process! It was an amazing experience to see the quality animals and exhibitors at each show. My favorite part of each show was watching the 10 & under Spring Calf Class. It was great to see the young exhibitors showing off their calves!

During June Dairy Month, I had the opportunity to attend many dairy promotion events throughout the state. I really liked the Hay Chopping Demonstration at Portage County Dairy Days hosted by Edgewood Dairy. It was very unique, and I enjoyed helping answer questions from attendees. I also had the opportunity to help educate

youth at Hickory Hill Academy’s Dairy Day in Madison. Local Royalty ran educational stations to help show the students what June Dairy Month is all about! I enjoyed teaching about ice cream and serving samples. It was also fun to meet other young women in Royalty positions. To end a long week of District Shows, I attended the Fond du Lac County Breakfast on the Farm at Dodger Acres in Rosendale. I enjoyed a delicious breakfast, then helped run games in the education tent.

Rounding out the summer, Elena and I attended Fond du Lac County’s Futurity and Dress a Critter contest. I am excited to meet junior exhibitors at Wisconsin State Fair, as well as experience the WHA All-Breeds Futurity! I will be representing WHA at the Dodge, Shawano, and Sheboygan County Futurity shows as well. I look forward to meeting the exhibitors at the Wisconsin Summer Championship Show, August 22-26 at the Alliant Energy Center. I hope to see you there!

It is hard to believe my time as the Wisconsin Holstein Princess is over halfway done.

I have had a great time so far this summer exploring Wisconsin and promoting the Holstein breed!

Rickert Bros.,

District 10: Just-R-Mess Dairy

By Ana McCourt, 2022 WHA Summer Intern

Though Just-R-Mess may seem like it means something else, it is solely a play on the Mess family’s last name. Deb and Austin Mess’s passion for dairy cattle began on their home farms where they grew up. Deb grew up with Red and White Holsteins, both egistered and grade, while Austin was raised on a Registered Holstein farm. Since meeting while attending the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the pair have started their own herd, now working alongside their children Kaylee, Sam, and Leah in Rosendale.

The Mess family started their herd in 2005. It began with a mix of cows from both Deb and Austin’s parents’ farms; 40 were brought from Austin’s parents and a couple came in those first few years from Deb’s parents. Today, the 125-head herd consists of mostly Holsteins and Red and Whites, with a few Brown Swiss, Jerseys, and Linebacks in the mix. For the last 12 years, everything on the farm has been completely homebred. Kaylee, Sam, and Leah all own a cow family in the herd as well, being gifted a few calves when they started showing.

Building their registered herd has been a goal for the Messes since the beginning. The first animals they started with were grade, since Austin’s family moved away from registering their animals years prior to their departure. Since then, they have been working towards registering the entire herd and they plan to begin classifying in the near future.

Using higher type bulls first started when Kaylee and Sam began showing. The kids have been showing at the Fond du Lac County Fair and the Wisconsin State Fair for a number of years. Some of the family’s favorite cows have seen their fair share of county fairs.

Many of the cows in their current herd all go back to Short-Fuse Moe Cracker RC. Cracker came from Deb’s parents’ herd in 2007.

Though they didn’t start testing milk until 2009, Cracker made 118,000 pounds in her last three and a half years with the Messes.

One descendant of Cracker is Just-R-Mess Diamondback CupidET, who was Reserve Grand Champion this year at the Fond du Lac County Fair. Cupid is currently in her third lactation, having produced over 80,000 pounds of milk lifetime so far. Another descendant of Cracker is Just-R-Mess Usp Cobalt-Red, who also made an appearance at the fair. Cracker has made an impact on the herd, having produced daughters who milk well, have success in the show ring and last in the herd.

One of the family’s favorite cows is Licorice, a Maximus daughter, who has stood the test of time. At eight years old, she is an absolute powerhouse while still maintaining a sweet temperament. Some of Licorice’s highlights include being named Supreme Champion at the 2020 Fond du Lac County Fair and her 185,000 pound lifetime

record.

Harley is another favorite that can be found on the farm. Harley gets her name from a close encounter with a motorcycle as a calf after escaping from her calf hutch. She will be 13 years old this September and is the family’s first cow to produce over 300,000 pounds of milk lifetime. She has faced many challenges, but her notoriety within the herd is well deserved.

The family’s breeding philosophy is much the same as many other dairy farms. Their goal is to breed for great feet and legs, high milk, and longevity. To do this, they use CentralStar’s mating program. They also purchase bulls from other stud companies. Some of the current bulls being used include AltitudeRed, Cheerful-Red, Ronald, and Moonraker.

Along with working hard on building their genetics, the Mess family works hard to keep their cows comfortable. In 2009, they switched their stall mattresses out for deep sand bedding and a slightly longer stall, which has not only increased cow comfort, but improved their SCC, staying consistently under 100,000.

Future plans of Just-R-Mess include Sam, who will be attending Fox Valley Technical College this fall in the Agribusiness Science and Technology-Animal Science programs. He hopes to return home and gain ownership of the cows. With that, the family also hopes to relocate in order to purchase more land and find a more sustainable facility. At the moment, they only own 10 acres and are

purchasing all of their feed.

Though Kaylee and Leah don’t see a future in returning to the farm, they are extremely active in all things agriculture. Kaylee is going to be a junior at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville, pursuing a bachelors in Agriculture Education. She hopes to become an agriculture teacher and an FFA advisor. Kaylee stays active in showing by being the dairy and swine project leader for Busy Bees 4-H. She is also the 2022 Fond du Lac County Fairest of the Fair.

Leah is going to be in eighth grade at Rosendale Intermediate School. She is involved in Busy Bees 4-H, dairy judging, and is a board member of the Fond du Lac County Junior Holsteins. All of the kids participated in quiz bowl and both the Fond du Lac County junior and senior teams took third this year at Wisconsin Junior Holstein Convention.

Not only are the kids extremely active, but Deb and Austin are too. Deb is the leader of Busy Bees 4-H and is also on the Fond du Lac County Dairy Committee. Austin is president of the Laconia FFA Alumni, where he helps organize the tractor pull that is held each September.

There is no doubt that the Mess family cares not only about their dairy, but their community. Their key roles in numerous different clubs shows their dedication to the industry and their passion for helping kids succeed.

Premier Breeder and Exhibitor Profiles

It’s often heard at shows from announcers on what an honor it is to receive Premier Breeder or Exhibitor of a show. These awards are a testament to the time and devotion put into breeding and developing a herd of cows and being able to reap those successes at shows. Each farm or breeder who received this honor this year was asked to share their breeding goals and information about their herd. Check out these mini-profiles on these outstanding breeders and exhibitors.

District 1: Premier Breeder and Exhibitor - Crisdhome Farm, The Kruscke Family

Family Members: Jake, Jade & Brantley Kruschke

Location: New Richmond, Wis.

Number of cows: 95 RHA: 25,389

BAA: 113.4 (69 EX, 32 VG)

Number Shown: 8 with 7 homebred

Sires used: Doorman, Doc, Tatoo, Crushabull, Sidekick, Gold Chip, Warrior, Lambda, Unix, Hancock, Thunderstorm, and Showtime

Breeding philosophy: We try to breed for balanced framed cows with wide square rumps, a strong front end, high wide rear udders and walk on a functional set of feet and legs. We have put less emphasis on stature recently and more emphasis on breeding medium sized cows with fewer faults that are more functional.

Comment on cows: Crisdhome Atw Doctorcherry is a cow we have shown in the past with success as she was Senior and Reserve Grand Champion at the District 1 Show in 2019. Crisdhome Dback Ruby-Red is a young cow we’re excited about. She’s a Junior 3-Year-Old that was just three weeks fresh at the show. Additionally Crisdhome Midnight Metallica is a Senior 3-Year-Old that has been a class winner for us back to back years in milking form.

District 2: Premier Exhibitor - Anchorage Acres, The Dittrich Family

Family Members: Don and Billie Dittrich, Jordon, Korlen, Barbara, Donniejo, Cecelia, Eddie, and William Dittrich

Location: Alma, Wis.

Number of cows: 100

Number Shown: 7 with 4 homebred Sires used: Alleyoop, Lambeau, Revere-Red, Doc, Warrior and Hanans

Breeding philosophy: Breeding for body composite and rear udder height and legs. Goals are to keep improving genetics and to have that champion cow. The herd started out 40 years ago as a grade herd and now the herd is over 90% registered.

Comment on cows: Dittrich Dempsey Pepsey was 2nd and 1st junior aged cow. JKB-Dittrich Airlift Breeze was 4th in the 5-year-old class and 2nd junior. She was also Reserve Champion Cow at the Northern Wisconsin State Fair this year. Willows Edge Add Massager placed fourth in the Junior 2-year-old class. Kurthhaven Barcardi Undenied placed 5th in the Senior 2-year-old class. Our kids take great pride in showing animals that they have ownership in. They work very hard with the animals year-round. Our herd has had numerous champions at the county fair. We take pride in showing animals as a project from calf to cow. Pepsi, the aged cow, our son showed at the Buffalo County Fair as a Farm Bureau Calf Grant project and now, nine years later, he still takes pride in showing her. Along with showing at the District 2 Show we have shown at the Northern Wisconsin State Fair and the Central Wisconsin State Fair along with the Buffalo County Fair. Our goal is to have our children show at the State Fair.

District 3: Premier Breeder - Kamps-Rx Genetics

Family Members: Reggie, Krysty, Demi, Elliot, & Alayah Kamps

Location: Darlington, Wis.

Number of cows: 30

BAA: 112

RHA: 24,500

Number Shown: 19 with 16 homebred

Sires used: Delta Lambda, Tattoo, Altitude, Cheerful, Luxor, Moovin, Thunderstorm, Summerfest, & Showtime

Management Goals: We breed for high type and red calves as everyone seems to want a red calf around spring time for sale selections. Each animal is mated individually based on her strengths and weaknesses. We are also putting in embryos from Apple B and putting her daughters on IVF where we’ve had interest. Our goal is to breed for heifers with great eye appeal but also longevity and milk production. We are always keeping our eye open for heifers in spring sales that have a promising pedigree and look like something that our program could help develop. We focus on making show calves but at the end of the day they have to make great cows. We look forward to developing our young herd as our oldest Apple B daughter just showed as a young 4 year old this year -Defiant x Apple B. Comments on Animals Exhibited at the Show: Kamps-Rx Appleb Abercrombie-ET VG-86, Denver x Apple B (2nd); Kamps-Rx Appleb Alivu-Red-ET VG-88, Ammo x Apple B (1st, Grand of JR Show, Reserve Intermediate Champ); Kamps-Rx Appleb Allison-ET VG-88, Undenied x Apple B (4th); Kamps-Rx Appleb Almond-ET EX-90, Raptor x Apple B (4th); Kamps-Rx Appleb Adele-ET EX-90, Diamondback x Apple B (5th); Kamps-Rx Appleb Ali-Red-ET EX-90, Defiant x Apple B (6th).

Cow Camp 2022 - Holstein Hoedown

Nearly 45 campers enjoyed a weekend at Mt. Morris Campground in Wautoma. Campers had the chance to meet new friends, take part in traditional camping activities and learn about the Registered Holstein cow, the dairy industry and more through educational sessions. Traditional activities like the campfire, ag olympics and shaving cream fight were also enjoyed by all. The Star Camper Award was given to Justin Brandel of Jefferson County.

Thank you to our guest speakers and volunteers for making this another successful event. Sponsors for this year’s camp included Emmi Roth, CentralStar Cooperative, Feltz’s Dairy Store and American Foods Group.

Dairy Judging - Red Group

We enjoyed learning about cow parts during this session. The leader, Angie Ulness, talked about the importance of knowing cow parts and how to compare them. We also appreciated her sharing tips for judging competitions and picking out calves to show.

Calf Nutrition - Green Group

In the TMR/nutrition session led by Jen Meyer we learned about what to feed our calves all the way up to cows. We also talked about the different parts of a TMR and got to make our own TMR snack to enjoy.

Calf Care - White Group

The most important thing we learned was how to take care of sick calves. We also learned about newborn calf care. This is important so when we are older we know how to properly take care of our own calves. This is also important because we need to set her up for the rest of her life. Thank you to Payge Dahlke for leading this session.

Barn Quilt Painting - Yellow Group

WHA Royalty led campers through painting wooden barn quilts with stencils. While waiting for paint to dry, campers played get-toknow-you games. Campers enjoyed being creative and making their own unique creations. Royalty chose a first and second place quilt for a prize.

Packing a Showbox - Teal Group

We really enjoyed listening to Ainsley’s presentation on how to be prepared and what to bring to shows. We especially liked learning about substitutions for the materials and supplies. We had fun talking about what everything is used for and how it can help us on show morning. Thank you Ainsley!

Farm Safety - Blue Group

At the farm safety station, we learned what happens when you get electrocuted, get impaled by an object, or what happens when you get a severe cut. We also learned how to react to these situations. We were able to see what happens to your brain when you wear a bike helmet compared to when you don’t. We would like to thank Molly Dorshorst for leading a great session.

Reproduction/Anatomy - Orange Group

We learned about reproduction and anatomy from Dr. Matt Dorshorst on Sunday. We really enjoyed being able to learn hands on and practice artificial insemination on reproductive tracks. The group learned where the egg develops and gets released, how a corpus luteum develops and the importance of its production of progesterone, where to find a cervix on a cow and how it feels, and the role it plays in protecting the calf during pregnancy. We greatly appreciate Dr. Dorshorst’s passion and knowledge that he shared and thank him for taking the time to teach us.

Dairy Products - Purple Group

JAC Lauren lead a session on the different dairy products. We got to try cheese from Feltz’s Dairy Store and guess what kind it was. We also got to answer dairy bowl questions. We had lots of fun!

Wisconsin Holstein members enjoy 2022 National Holstein Convention

Wisconsin Holstein members had another exciting National Convention with major award winners for the adults and juniors. Attendees enjoyed the many tour options offered by the Minnesota Holstein Associations in the Sioux Falls, SD area.

Junior contests were held early in the week and Wisconsin had several youth in the Speaking and Dairy Jeopardy contests. Alison Gartman of Sheboygan County excelled in both - taking home first place in the junior Dairy Jeopardy contest and second in the junior Speaking contest. Both of the Wisconsin dairy bowl teams placed fifth in their division and the Brown County juniors were also recognized with the Sportsmanship Award.

Receiving National Young Distinguished Junior Member awards were Logan Harbaugh and Elizabeth Gunst. Hannah Hockerman, Elise Bleck, Mac McCullough and Matthew Gunst were National Distinguished Junior Member semi-finalists, with Hockerman, Gunst and McCullough being selected as DJM Finalists.

At the Holstein USA annual meeting, Wisconsin’s Herds of Excellence were recognized. Other special awards were Budjon Farms with the Star of the Breed winner, Blondin Goldwyn Subliminal-ETS, Sandy Valley Farms being named Elite Breeder, and Mitch Kappelman recognized as Distinguished Young Breeder. Bob Webb was re-elected to a second term representing Region 5 on the Holstein USA board of directors.

Corey Geiger completed his term as HA USA President. Thank you to Corey for your years of service on the board.

Thank you to the Minnesota Holstein Association for hosting a great convention!

Sandy Valley Farms recognized with Elite Breeder Award

Perhaps one of the greatest compliments a Registered Holstein breeder can receive is seeing genetics from their herd be successful in other operations. The Bauer brothers of Sandy-Valley Farms in Scandinavia have accomplished this, and much more, through their wide-reaching breeding program.

The Registered Holstein® herd at Sandy-Valley Farms has achieved the sought-after balance of cattle with great production, desirable type and high genomic value. Their herd’s elite genetics have worked not

only at Sandy-Valley Farms, but also in barns across the nation and throughout the world.

The Bauer family’s commitment to breeding top-notch Registered Holsteins has gained them much respect from fellow breeders. Although they are no longer farming, the positive contributions Sandy-Valley genetics have had on the Holstein breed will leave a lasting influence for years to come.

Starting with a vision

The Bauer brothers first became involved with Registered Holsteins when they began farming with their parents, Frank Sr. and Patricia.

“Our parents had a herd of grade Holsteins,” Greg recalled. “They were good cattle, but soon after my brothers – David, Frank Jr. and Patrick - bought the farm, the decision was made to try to work with the best. We began to study pedigrees in an attempt to identify some of the great cow families in the Holstein breed.”

Sandy-Valley invested in their first high-end female in 1988. They purchased a Bell Rex yearling heifer from Plushanski farms at a 21st Century Genetics sale. They lost the heifer shortly after she calved, but this disappointment didn’t impede their efforts to work with the best in Holstein genetics.

“That was a bit of a setback, but we continued to buy into families we thought were among the strongest in the breed,” Greg says. “The ones that excelled for us we kept breeding from; the ones that didn’t became recipients.”

This strategy laid the groundwork for Sandy-Valley’s success. They flushed their high-end animals and used the rest of the herd as embryo recipients. When choosing sires they focused on udders, feet and legs, and milk yield with reasonable components. As more information became available in the industry on health traits, somatic cell and fertility also became important foci.

The brothers’ determination to improve the quality of their herd resulted in a uniform group of cows with flawless udders, sound feet and legs, and solid production. “Our goal was to breed a cow the commercial dairyman could respect and the type-oriented breeder could admire,” Greg stated. “We wanted to breed a balanced animal that fit the true type Holstein model.”

The brothers worked in unison to achieve their goals. While all worked together in general farm management and activities; each brother maintained a specific expertise. David and Patrick managed the milking herd. Frank oversaw farm projects. Greg handled genetics and marketing. Fieldwork was shared. As with most family farms the brothers’ wives, children, and children’s spouses played an integral part

in the daily operations.

Stand out cow families

The family’s commitment to breeding and marketing high-quality genetics led to much success for Sandy-Valley Farms over the years.

Sandy-Valley Farms bred an impressive 107 Dams of Merit, 106 Gold Medal Dams, including 46 cows receiving both distinctions. They also bred 10 Gold Medal Sires and a total of 186 Excellent females and males. In 2019, Holstein International recognized them as number six on the “25 Most Influential Breeders of the Last 25 Years” list, as selected by their readers.

The Sandy-Valley herd became known for their uniform group of cows with strong production and impeccable udders. However, there were four cow families that made a mark for the Bauer brothers.

Sandy-Valley Plane Sapphire was the dam of two high-performing bulls, Sandy-Valley Saloon-ET and Sandy-Valley Sterling-ET. Saloon was a number one TPI proven sire, and Sterling ranked as high as number three on the proven sire list. The star of the Sapphire family was Sandy-Valley Rubicon Eternity. She held the title as the number one TPI cow for two runs and produced many high genomic calves for SandyValley Farms.

They also enjoyed working with the Rudy Missy family. The brothers especially admired Sandy-Valley Uno Paradise EX-94 for her conformation and extreme components, producing records over 4% protein and 6% butterfat on a number of lactations. Paradise was also the dam of Sandy-Valley J Pharo-ET, a strong type bull.

The Cosmopolitan family was another that performed well at SandyValley. The brothers described cows from this family to be strong, longlasting cattle with uniformly great udders.

Greg says the headline cow of the Cosmo family at Sandy-Valley was called Cokisncream. “A Silver daughter from an EX-90 Supersire, Cokisncream scored EX-93, EX(94)MS and is dam of Sandy-Valley Challenger. Challenger ranked as high as number seven on the TPI proven sire list and is transmitting outstanding udders.”

Rounding out the quartet of stand-out cow families was the Barbie family. Greg recalled that these cattle were “beautifully framed and highly marketable.”

Perhaps the most influential Sandy-Valley bull was Sandy-Valley Bolton-ET whose daughters were known for extreme milk yield, good type, and docile temperaments. Bolton was from a unique sire stack, and Greg noted that “he is a great example of what can result when a complimentary mating works like you hope it will.” Like Saloon, Bolton is a former number one TPI proven sire.

Long-lasting influence

The Registered Holstein cow remained central to the progress at Sandy-Valley Farms. In addition to helping keep the farm profitable, they provided the family a spark of enthusiasm and excitement.

Early in their dairy farming careers, the Bauer brothers formed a vision for their family’s farm and worked with integrity, persistence, and curiosity to achieve their dreams. It was the dedication and effort of the Bauer family and those they worked with, combined with the genetics and marketability of U.S. Registered Holsteins, that made them successful.

The Bauer brothers and the incredible genetics of the SandyValley herd are a true example of what is possible with a little grit, determination, and finding joy in the journey along the way. They’ll tell you while breeding a great one was always satisfying, the little moments along the way can be just as fulfilling.

Such fulfillment was seen in promoting family-focused effort in the role of dairy farming in America and working to elevate the value of the Holstein breed in the dairy industry in America and abroad.

The Bauer brothers and family are proud of the accomplishments they have made through the years and are thankful to all those who

supported and traveled that amazing journey with them.

Mitch Kappelman named Distinguished Young Breeder

On a spring day in eastern Wisconsin, Mitch Kappelman pulls on a sweatshirt and breathes in the brisk early-morning air. With a broad smile, he walks through the center alley of the freestall barn as a group of cows file back in after morning milking.

Located just four miles from Lake Michigan, his family’s Meadow Brook Farms near Manitowoc is in an ideal region for dairy production. Cooler summer temperatures and warmer days in the winter help keep animals comfortable and productive, along with dedicated management and care.

It’s a lifestyle that runs deep within Mitch’s family ancestry. The farm was established more than 150 years ago with a few cows, and rows and rows of potatoes. Today, Mitch is the fifth generation to farm on the family’s land.

“Farming is something I’ve always known,” says Mitch, the 30-yearold son of Pete and Shellie Kappelman. “Growing up here, it’s what we did every summer. It’s what we did before school and after school. So, farming was always clear.”

From a young age, he knew he wanted to be involved in the dairy industry — and now, he is living out that dream as he manages the herd at Meadow Brook Farms. Because of his enthusiasm for dairy farming and the Registered Holstein® cow, Holstein Association USA proudly honored Mitch with the 2022 Distinguished Young Holstein Breeder award.

Finding his way

Through the years, Mitch says his passion for agriculture was ignited through the National Junior Holstein Association. Competing at shows and popular events like Dairy Bowl and Dairy Jeopardy, he made lifelong friends and connections.

“I grew up showing cows and attending national conventions,” Mitch says. “That transitioned in high school when I started taking on leadership roles with the Wisconsin Junior Holstein Activities Committee. I just tried to take the bull by the horns where I could.”

After graduating with a dairy science degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2013, Mitch worked as a herd analyst for Accelerated Genetics. After a couple of years, his passion led him back home to the farm.

“I loved the genetics side of things and working with other farmers, but there’s nothing like working with your own cows,” he says. Today, he is involved in all of the day-to-day activities at Meadow Brook Farms, caring for the herd of Registered Holsteins and a team of 11 employees.

“My biggest priorities are employees and cow health,” Mitch says. “I’m constantly going through and making sure everybody is healthy,

employees and cows, to keep everything running smoothly.”

They milk around 425 cows, three times a day, in a double-nine parallel parlor. The rolling herd average is just over 30,000 pounds of milk, with 1,230 pounds of fat and 927 pounds of protein. Since their milk is eventually marketed as cheese, high components are key. They are currently at 4.1% fat and 3.1% protein, and look to continue raising the bar in the next five years.

Mitch also takes pride in maintaining a low somatic cell count (SCC), and the farm consistently has a SCC between 49,000 to 70,000. Meadow Brook Farms was recognized for their low SCC with a Milk Quality Award from Land O’Lakes in 2021. The farm also has a beef-on-dairy program and sells meat locally.

Mitch says a big part of his breeding philosophy is always striving for new genetic goals, while never losing sight of what keeps the herd grounded — keeping cows healthy and comfortable. Together, these practices lead to productive, long-lasting cows.

“The key to having success is setting your genetic ceiling high,” he says. “The majority of our herd is commercial. We’re looking for productive cows with strength, great health traits, with DPR and great components. I want cows that last forever.”

Harnessing technology

Mitch relies on several programs from Holstein Association USA to keep the herd moving forward, from registration to classification, and TriStar to genomic testing.

“We genomic test every calf with CLARIFIDE® Plus,” he says. “Using genomic testing, each string of cows within the herd is making leaps and bounds. With some of the herd bred for type and most bred for commercial production, having a focused goal for each animal is helping to achieve my goals.”

With a mind that enjoys crunching the numbers, Mitch used his experience evaluating sires to create his own weighted index for the herd at Meadow Brook Farms. Coined “Mitch Match,” he uses a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet to analyze numbers to benefit each individual cow.

“I use it to determine which cows get bred dairy, which get bred beef, which get sexed semen, and which get embryos,” he says. “It is a great way to refine the female and male herds, and create the best combination from the two.”

Mitch says they also use the genomic data management tool, Enlight, from Zoetis, to stay up-to-date on herd genetics. Tools like this allow them to do more, with less.

After returning home to the farm, Mitch implemented the CowManager activity system, which he credits to helping him reduce their labor force and double the herd’s pregnancy rate. The attention to detail, both for cow care and breeding decisions, is paying off.

Meadow Brook Farms has been recognized with the Progressive Genetics Herd award for the past seven years, and they ranked within the top 25 BAA herds for their size in 2021. They’ve had seven Gold Medal Dams and 19 cows with lifetime milk production greater than 200,000 pounds.

At the end of the day, Mitch says he simply loves being with the cows, just as his family has done for generations before him. “I enjoy working with the cows. That is clearly my favorite part,” he says. “Seeing baby calves born, seeing a new heifer freshen, is exciting. And it’s exciting seeing them develop. Because I remember breeding her. I remember the granddam. I remember all of these things.”

New horizons

As inventive as he is entrepreneurial, there’s much more in store for the 2022 Distinguished Young Holstein Breeder. Always eager for more knowledge, Mitch was part of class 10 of the Young Dairy Leaders Institute (YDLI), following in his parent’s footsteps. His dad and mom were in class one and two, respectively.

He has remained involved in the Manitowoc County Holstein

Association, serving six years on the board of directors, including a term as president. In 2018, he organized the first Breeder’s Cup event in his home county. He was also chair for the 2019 Wisconsin Adult Holstein Convention.

In August, Mitch will marry his fiancée, McKenzie Beattie, and the couple looks forward to raising their family on the farm. He says receiving the Distinguished Young Holstein Breeder Award motivates him to keep moving forward.

“To win this award means that I’m on the right track,” Mitch says. “It means I’m doing good things, but that doesn’t mean I want to stop. I want to keep going, I want to do more, I want to be better. And I’m excited for where that future’s going to lead.”
