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.

Swiss Cheese in Hot Demand
With the recent coronavirus pandemic, the supply and demand of several industries’ products have been affected. Swiss cheese is one of these products. Cinnamon Ridge’s John Maxwell of Donahue, Iowa, provided comment to WQAD8 on the situation. Newly elected AJCA Board Member Maxwell said that cheese met the perfect storm. With the farm producing and selling Swiss cheese from their Jersey’s milk, they have seen a greater demand for that cheese in recent moments. With not a lot of Swiss cheese plants around, Maxwell said that orders have been bigger. It was reported in the article that demand for cheese from retailers has now risen nearly 30% since the start of the pandemic.

Taco Bell Launches New Dairy-Based Products With the assistance of dairy checkoff support, Taco Bell recently unveiled the Grilled Cheese Burrito and Pineapple Whip Freeze beverage, both of which contain real dairy. Taco Bell began its partnership with Dairy Management Inc. (DMI) in 2012. Meant to compliment the family favorite grilled cheese, this burrito features a blend of mozzarella, cheddar and pepper jack cheeses, in addition to sour cream, beef, rice, crunchy red strips and chipotle sauce. A layer of cheese is then grilled around the tortilla to make this cheesy delight. The Pineapple Whip Freeze is the chain’s first beverage to contain dairy since Taco Bell and DMI formed a partnership. After battling refrigeration hurdles, it took research and development collaborative efforts of DMI and the Midwest Dairy Center at the University of Minnesota to collaborate a solution. The team developed a dairy-based shelf-stable creamer that consists of real cream and meets Taco Bell’s product requirements.

Inspired Youth Today, Leaders Tomorrow In 1958, the Board of Directors expanded its programs for youth. Since then, the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) has never looked back and continues to expand and improve on its youth programs each year. Ours is perhaps the oldest breed youth program in the U.S., dating back to 1917 when Jersey calf clubs were set up across the country. Its modern form–which includes achievement and production recognitions, scholarships, awards for youth shows and judging competitions, the All American Junior Jersey Show plus the Pot O’Gold program–were part of the expanded program in 1958. This month’s issue of Jersey Journal showcases the latest group of young leaders inspired by the Jersey cow. The achievements of more than three dozen AJCA junior members chronicled in this issue are quite remarkable. It is the juniors themselves who are setting the performance standards higher and higher each year with much support and encouragement from their parents and youth leaders and the incentives of the AJCA youth program. Whether in their adult lives these young people own and operate Jersey dairies or pursue careers in related areas, they hold great promise as tomorrow’s leaders of the association, National AllJersey Inc., and across all facets of the U.S. agriculture industry. The beauty of the AJCA program is it develops over time and pushes Jersey youth towards learning a business sense they will need for lifetime success. That aim evolves and culminates with recognition in the national achievement and production contests. It’s also on display each November when the Pot O’Gold sale becomes a teaching tool. Parents and grandparents talk with their children about how to finance that calf they want to purchase. Then, you can spot them looking over and bidding on the heifers, trying to buy a calf that will be the best value for the money invested. The breeding and management lessons continue for two more years as the heifer becomes a cow, completes her first lactation, and then is ranked against the others that were sold in the same year.
Jersey breeders have always shown unequalled generosity in parting with their best heifers for youth to develop into the foundations of their herds. The direct illustration is in the performance level of the winners in this year’s Pot O’Gold contest, but it’s also evident in the National Youth Production contest rankings listed in this Journal, and every September youth-focused issue going back for decades. Then, there’s the commitment that has been made to continuing financial support. The original stake of $11,000 for the national Jersey youth program came from the 1956 (all donation) All-American Sale of Jersey Starlets, and basic program funding has been secured on an annual basis since through the National Heifer Sale. Tax-exempt permanent funds were established for scholarships starting in 1965, growing in both number and fund value to provide over $31,000 for educational awards this year, the second highest amount distributed to date. The activities touching hundreds of youth at the All American are possible because of annual contributions from breeders, state organizations and allied industry, plus the Maurice E. Core Jersey Youth Fund, and the Pot O’Gold program is self-funding. Jersey Youth Academy is funded through a 501(c) (3) educational foundation established from proceeds of BW Academy-ET sold at the 2008 All American, the all-donation National Heifer Sale of 2011 and bolstered by continuing contributions and the Cow Pie Bingo fundraiser. “It behooves all of us to lend every support and encouragement to the youth of our business.” There are, however, other forms of “support and encouragement” that linger beyond any ribbon or trophy, certificate of achievement, cash award or scholarship check. As you see Jersey youth going about their activities, do pass on words of congratulations with a big smile as they demonstrate good sportsmanship, keep up their records, or do any other good job that is part of their development as young Jersey breeders. Such actions on your part will surely inspire, and after all, “The inspired youth of today are tomorrow’s leaders.”

JERSEY YOUTH PROGRAMS
2019 National Jersey Youth Achievement Awards
K
atarina Emerich, Mooers, N.Y., has been named the 65th recipient of the National Jersey Youth Achievement Award. The contest recognizes Jersey youth from across the country for their leadership, activities and participation in Jersey functions, as well as their success in breeding and managing their own Jersey cattle. This past March, 21 of the most active Jersey youth from 12 states submitted applications to the office of the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA). Each application was evaluated and ranked by a committee of judges to determine this year’s top 10 individuals. The Jersey youth programs have been a core part of Jersey youth development since 1958. Nominations for the National Jersey Youth Achievement Contest are made by state Jersey organizations, which can nominate up to two individuals each year. The competition is open to members of the AJCA who are between the ages of 16 and 20 on January 1, 2019, or placed among the top 10 in the previous year’s contest. The AJCA provides cash awards totaling $4,500 to the top 10 individuals. Awards will be presented at the Junior Banquet on November 7, 2020, during the All American festivities in Louisville, Ky. Katarina Emerich After a third-place finish in last year’s competition, Katarina Emerich, Mooers, N.Y., the daughter of Jerry and Wanda Emerich, has climbed to the top spot in 2019. She will receive a $750 cash award and plaque. G r ow i n g u p on the family operation, Dorado Jerseys, Katarina found her love for the Jersey breed at a young age. Katarina’s herd has grown to consist Emerich of four heifers and four cows. Today, she shows great interest in the genetics of her herd and is responsible for getting the show animals “showring ready.” Page 18
“My animals specifically are three different cow families, all with separate breeding goals,” she wrote. “By having separate goals for each family, it allows me to focus on specific sets of traits I want to emphasize. For example, one family has strong production traits. My other two families I work to develop animals that can compete in the national show ring while also earning their keep as milk cows in any herd.” These efforts paid off. In 2018, Katarina ranked seventh in the National Jersey Youth Production Contest with her homebred entry Dorado-K Prescott Ophelia who had a m.e. of 22,700–1,216–877 and an MCP Dollar Value of $4,850.98. She has also exhibited numerous Junior Champions at the Clinton County Fair, as well as competed at other state and national shows. In addition to Jersey cattle, Katarina has a renowned Registered Angus herd at home. She recently placed a son of her original Angus cow into A.I. service with Select Sires, Inc. Two of his maternal sisters rank in the top 3% of the breed for the important $Maternal genetic index. A long-time participant in Jersey youth activities, Katarina took part in many of the programs USJersey offers. From 2009-2013, she competed in the TalkJersey speaking competition held during the AJCA-NAJ Annual Meetings. Katarina is currently serving the AJCA membership as the 2019 First Alternate National Jersey Queen. She was also a member of Class V of Jersey Youth Academy and a previous AJCA scholarship recipient. Katarina is also involved with several other state and regional dairy associations, including the New England Jersey Breeder’s Association, New York Jersey Breeders, Vermont Jersey Breeders Association and the Clinton County Milk Dippers 4-H Club. When asked what an important goal for the Jersey breed and its owners is, Katarina replied, “I believe the most important goal is to continue to develop and perfect a cow that can be versatile in all settings; whether that be a large, few thousand cow open lot operation in California or a small, 20-cow tie stall farm in Vermont. It is important to ensure cows will be able to last within the herd to maximize her profit earning potential at a time in the dairy industry where
every penny counts.” Katarina is a junior at Purdue University majoring in agribusiness with a minor in animal science focusing on dairy management. On campus, she is active in the dairy club, dairy cattle evaluation team, Sigma Alpha Sorority and serves as the agriculture economics envoy. She is also serving as the chairperson for the Purdue Dairy Club Sale. Katarina is also receiving the Morris B. Ewing ABS Genetic Performance Scholarship for $3,250 from the AJCA in 2020. Kathryn Bosely No stranger to the green shavings in Louisville, Ky., but her first time competing in this contest, Kathryn Bosely, Malone, N.Y., will accept her $550 cash award for her second-place finish at this year’s All American events. She is the daughter of Charles Bosley and Jennifer Bosely Tierney Bosley of Tierney Farm. Kathryn is currently in her senior year of classes at SUNY Cobleskill pursuing a bachelor’s degree in animal science and an associate degree in dairy production and management. On her family’s 50-cow Registered Jersey farm, Kathryn is active in all aspects. She primarily helps feed and manage the youngstock and dry cows but can also be found feeding or milking. Having a knack for record-keeping and other organizational tasks, Kathryn is often the individual creating vaccination, weaning and cattle movement lists. Citing a keen interest in genetics and health, she wrote in her application, “I feel a sense of pride when I notice a cow not doing well and I am able to come up with a solution to make her feel better. I also enjoy a lively debate over what the best bull to use on a certain cow is.” When not on the farm, Kathryn keeps herself very involved in various leadership organizations. At SUNY Cobleskill, she is the current secretary of the Sigma Alpha, Gamma Delta Chapter, an active member of the Dairy Cattle Club and competed with (continued to page 20)

Kathryn also is a member of the Honors Program at school. The past two years, she conducted a project based on ringworm and collaborated with an early childhood education major to put on an event for the preschool program on campus. She took them on a tour of the campus dairy and also did two hands-on activities with the kids – make your own TMR and butter-making. An avid agvocate on social media, Kathryn works under the ‘Cow Nerd’ platform on both Facebook and Instagram. She creates regular content to educate and promote agriculture to the general public. In 2019, she took part in the College Aggies Online Weekly Challenge where she was the weekly winner multiple times. In addition to her many activities, Kathryn is avid showsperson, having exhibited in levels ranging from the county fair to the All American Junior Jersey Show. In 2019, she and her brother, Patrick, exhibited the Junior All American Junior Yearling Heifer, Tierneys Andreas Lorina. “Lorina” was also the 2018 Reserve Junior

All American Junior Heifer Calf. When describing her experience as part of Class V of Jersey Youth Academy, Kathryn wrote, “Jersey Youth Academy was one of the most amazing professional development programs I have attended. It really opened my eyes to different opportunities in the Jersey and dairy world.” In the future, Kathryn plans to earn a master’s degree focused on dairy cattle genetics, reproduction and health. After she completes her studies, she hopes to either pursue a Ph.D or work as a dairy cattle researcher or consultant. Gracie Krahn The third-place individual in this year’s contest is 2019 National Jersey Queen Gracie Krahn of Albany, Ore. Gracie is the daughter of Ben and Amy Krahn, Royal Riverside Farm. Gracie can usually be found busy on her family’s operation. Krahn Royal Riverside Farm started a farmstead creamery in 2018 from which they sell milk products to 35 stores and coffee shops in Oregon. This has
allowed Gracie to expand her marketing skills and gain experience in agriculture communications. In addition to the creamery, Gracie is very involved with the daily activities of dairy farming as well. She can be found doing anything and everything, spanning from milking the cows to feeding animals and making mating decisions. Show and sale animal care is also in her realm of responsibilities. Gracie’s herd of nine Jersey cows have a current average appraisal score of 88.5%, with four of the nine being scored Excellent. They also contribute to the bulk tank with an average m.e. for 2019 of 15,371–593–529. Having been involved with Jersey youth projects for the past 14 years, she has served in leadership roles for the Oregon Junior Jersey Association the past three. Gracie has competed in the Oregon Jersey Youth Production Contest multiple times, as well as received production awards at shows. One of Gracie’s true passions is exhibiting her Jersey cattle. She regularly shows at her county fair, the Western Oregon Junior Jersey Show, Oregon FFA State Fair and the Western National Junior Jersey Show. In addition, she’s made showring appearances at World Dairy Expo and the All American Jersey Show. Gracie is an exemplary lead (continued to page 22)

sperson, having won multiple showmanship contests throughout her career. She regularly gives public presentations about agriculture. Gracie has held leadership roles with the Royal Clover 4-H Club, Linn County (LC) Teen Leadership Council, LC Youth Livestock Auction Committee, Santiam Christian FFA Chapter, Upper Willamette FFA District, Oregon Junior Holstein Association and Oregon Junior Pork Board. “The dairy industry has entered a new age and Jerseys are uniquely right for these times,” she wrote. “Specifically, consumers want quality dairy products, which Jerseys can provide. Producers want more efficiency, and the efficiency of the Jersey cow in converting feed to milk is undeniable.” Gracie will be attending Linn Benton Community College in Albany, Ore., this coming fall. She will accept her $500 award at the junior banquet in Louisville. Kylie Lehr The ninth-place winner in the 2018 contest, Kylie Lehr of Canastota, N.Y., rises to place fourth this year. The daughter of John and Lynda Lehr will receive a cash award of $450.
A senior at Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y., with a major in animal science, Kylie registers her animals under the KyHi Jerseys prefix. Currently, her herd consists of 20 cows and 23 heifers. On 14 lactation records, her animals produced an actual herd average of 20,802 lbs. milk, 1,056 lbs. fat and 738 lbs. Lehr protein. Per their most recent appraisal, 15 head average Very Good-85%. Kylie manages the heifers at her home while the milking herd is housed elsewhere. She has implemented IVF on the genetically elite individuals and has been able to sell genetics from her herd at the All American and other sales. The Ky-Hi prefix is regularly seen among the top entries at various production contests. For the 2019 National Youth Production Contest, Ky-Hi Oliver Wonderfull-P-ET, Very Good-83%, placed seventh with an m.e. of 23,825–1,247–879 and MCP Dollar Value of $5,546.69. In 2019, Kylie exhibited her first bred and owned animal in the National Jersey
Jug Futurity in Louisville, Ky. The entry went on to be the receive the award for having the highest GJPI in the class. Kylie has taken every opportunity to expand herself while at Cornell. Through the Dairy Science Club, she has taken international trips to Italy and China, as well as a domestic trip to California, with the goal to gain insight about different agricultural practices and economic impact. Kylie has also helped with their annual Fall Harvest Sale in various leadership positions. A 17-year member of the New York State Jersey Junior Club, Kylie served as the secretary of the organization from 2015-2018. She also consigned to the New York State Jersey Sale three times. Kylie attended Jersey Youth Academy in 2017. Kylie believes an important goal for the Jersey breed and her owners is to continue to bridge the gap between producers and consumers. In her application, she wrote, “One of the largest areas for improvement in the dairy industry is conveying our knowledge of production and the dairy industry accurately to consumers. We hear time-and-time again from producers— Consumers aren’t knowledgeable— when, consumers are knowledgeable. The problem is partly that we as producers are not communicating our message in an accurate manner to which consumers will be able to truly understand.” While Kylie’s future career plans are still being decided, one thing is for sure: she will continue to have a small Jersey operation on the side. Lydia Chittenden A new face to the Jersey Youth Achievement Contest is this year’s fifth place individual, Lydia Chittenden, Schodack Landing, N.Y. Lydia is the daughter of Alan and Donna Chittenden of D u t c h H o l l ow Farm. She will be receiving an award of $400. Lydia is entering her sophomore ye a r a t S U N Y Cobleskill where she is working to Chittenden obtain a bachelor’s degree in animal science. On campus, she is involved with the dairy cattle club and is a member of the women’s basketball team. An AJCA Lifetime Member, Lydia has been attending Jersey events for many years. She is an eight-year member of both the Delaware County Jersey Cattle Club and Chenango District Jersey Cattle Club, as well as their junior organizations. Lydia is

also a long-time member of the New York Jersey Cattle Club and Junior Club. A member of Class VI of Jersey Youth Academy, Lydia has taken part in numerous national Jersey youth activities. Lydia regularly competes in the National Jersey Youth Production Contest, as well as the New York Jersey Youth Production and New England Jersey Breeders Association Youth Production Contests. A regular purchaser from the Pot O’Gold Sale during the All American Jersey events in Louisville, Ky., her 2017 purchase, Primus Kwynn Haven-ET, Desirable-79%, placed 11th in the 2020 Pot O’Gold Production Contest and ninth in Division 1 of the 2019 National Jersey Youth Production Contest. She will be receiving both awards in November 2020 at the Youth Banquet, as well as the Jack C. Nisbet Memorial Scholarship for $2,750. At Dutch Hollow Farm, Lydia has a Registered Jersey herd of 34 cows and 25 heifers. Based on recent classification results, the animals have an appraisal average of 83% with one Excellent and 24 Very Good individuals. Lydia is an avid dairy cattle evaluator, having competed in numerous 4-H contests throughout her time as a youth. She hopes to use these skills, as well as her love of analyzing Jersey pedigrees and data, in the future with the goal of eventually returning to the home farm after gaining outside experience elsewhere. One of Lydia’s most proud moments came when she exhibited her bred and owned animal to a supreme champion finish. When talking about the experience she wrote, “The moment became even more special when I thought back to six years earlier when I was talking with my dad about who he should breed that cow’s dam to and which bull I thought might help get me a show winner. Little did I know it would work! Ever since then I have loved watching my calves grow into mature cows.” Colin Wussow Coming in sixth place is Colin Wussow, Cecil, Wis. The son of Ron and Nicolle Wussow, Milk-n-More Far ms and Harvesting, LLC, will be receiving a cash award for $390. Colin was the 2019 Wisconsin Junior Jersey Breeder of the Year presented to him by the Wisconsin Junior Jersey Breeder Association (WJJBA). Currently, his herd consists of 17 cows and 18 heifers. On 12 lactations, the 2019 average actual production for his herd was 20,896 lbs. milk, 984 lbs. fat and 709 lbs. protein. Over the years, Colin has received 13 Hall of Fame Records from the AJCA for SEPTEMBER 2020

Colin h a s f r e q u e n t ly exhibited his cattle at the local, state and national levels. Wussow A 14-year participant in Jersey youth programs, Colin attended the 2019 Jersey Youth Academy in
Columbus and credits the Jersey cow and the people of the association for helping him grow as an individual. “Jersey Youth Academy was an inspirational week spent learning about the changes of the Jersey breed, discovering career opportunities and connecting with dairy professionals,” he said. “I learned so much from the informational workshops, farm and business tours and the benefits, as well as challenges, regarding value-added opportunities. He’s also an 11-year member of the Wisconsin Jersey Breeders Parish 7 and WJJBA. Colin served as the president of (continued to page 24)

the WJJBA from 2017 to 2019. He also served as an escort for the 2019 National Jersey Queen Contest. In 2019, Colin was a finalist for the National FFA Dairy Entrepreneurship Proficiency at the National FFA Convention. He was also named the 2018 Wisconsin FFA State STAR Farmer at their annual convention. A junior at the University of WisconsinRiver Falls (UWRF), Colin is pursuing a degree in agriculture business with minors in dairy and crop science. He’s a member of the UWRF Dairy Club and served on the 2020 Falcon Premier Sale Committee. Colin was integral in adding Jerseys to the sale line-up for the first time in many years. He is also active in the Alpha Gama Rho-Alpha Psi Fraternity and UWRF Agriculture Business and Marketing Society, as well as a member of the university football team. After completing his schooling and gaining industry experience, Colin hopes to return home and take over the family’s dairy and harvesting businesses. Erin Leach Erin Leach of Linwood, Kansas, placed seventh in the National Jersey Youth Achievement Contest. The daughter of Rob and Lisa Leach will receive $380. Erin recently completed her senior year at Oklahoma State University (OSU) where she earned a bachelor’s degree in animal science with a business option. While at OSU, Erin took every chance to expand her knowledge. She worked at the campus farm, the Ferguson Family Dairy Center, where she acted as the calf manager, as well as helped milk and train new employees.
Page 24
She was also active in the Dairy Science Club where she served as treasurer, as well as was a member of the dairy cattle evaluation team. At Lin-Crest Farms, Erin has played an integral role in the youngstock management as well. She currently has a Registered Jersey herd that consists of 29 heifers and 24 cows. Her herd had an average actual production of Leach 17,572 lbs. milk, 885 lbs. fat and 654 lbs. protein based on eight individuals. Readers may recognize Erin from her many years of showring success. She has regularly exhibited at the All American, International Jersey Show, Kansas State Fair and Southern National Jersey Show. In 2019, Erin, her family and partners exhibited the National Jersey Jug Futurity Winner, Page-Crest Virtuoso 148 {5}, Excellent-92%. Fondly known as “Juju” by the Leach family, “Juju” was also the Intermediate and Reserve Grand Champion at the All American Junior Show that year for Erin. Erin wrote in her application, “I owe a great deal to the AJCA, as they have made many of the experiences that I have participated in and enjoyed. After my family’s farm was devastated by a tornado in May, it was my “Jersey family” that rallied around us to help us heal and rebuild, for which I am forever grateful.” A member of Class V of Jersey Youth Academy, Erin noted that she learned
valuable career skills and made lasting friendships and connections through the experience. She also competed in the 2018 National Jersey Queen competition. As for her future, she hopes to have a career in the sire industry working with producers and helping them make important mating decisions. What Erin looks the most forward to though is the future where her family can resume milking cows and breeding the next generations of potential excellent Jerseys. “I have so much love for the Jersey cow, that a life without them would be unthinkable. Our decision to resume milking cows was fueled by the passion for the industry that my family has instilled in me.” Joshua Seals Making his debut in eighth place is Tillamook, Ore., native Joshua Seals. Josh helps operate his family’s dairy farm, Sunny Ridge Dairy LLC, with his parents, Dave and Kim Seals. He will be presented a $370 cash award at the banquet in Louisville. For the past 13 years, Josh has b e e n i nvo l ve d Seals in Jersey youth programs. His Registered Jersey herd consists of 42 head which had a 2019 actual average of 18,085 lbs. milk, 866 lbs. fat and 669 lbs. protein on 12 lactations. He has consistently placed well in state production contests. With Josh entering his sophomore year of college at Eastern Oregon University (EOU) as an agriculture science major, his roles on the family farm have changed. Now his primary responsibilities include equipment and facilities repair and maintenance, sick cow treatments, irrigation and pest control, calf feeding and mating decisions. On the EOU campus, Josh is involved in the Ag Club, Trap Shooting Club and Team and the National Society of Leadership. A 13-year member of the Oregon Jersey Cattle Association, Josh credits his involvement with Jersey activities for introducing him to peers also interested in the dairy business and breeding Jerseys. “At my high school, there was only one other kid who was from a dairy and I have yet to meet anyone at my college who is from a dairy, so being active in Jersey activities is the best way for me to meet other people my age in the dairy industry,” he wrote. One of the ways he did this was by JERSEY JOURNAL
attending Jersey Youth Academy as part of Class VI in 2019. Another way by partaking in state Jersey activities, as well as exhibiting at the Tillamook County Fair and Western National Jersey Show. At Louisville this fall, Josh will also be receiving the AJCA Directors’ Scholarship for $2,500. Josh believes in the Jersey cow. “We have to keep improving the breed’s profitability to encourage more and more Holstein breeders to switch,” he said. “Legislation is regularly introduced in attempt to regulate methane emissions from dairies. If such a bill is passed, Jerseys will be much better suited to meet these regulations.” When asked about his future, Josh said, “My two most important future goals are farm ownership and running a profitable business. I want to own a farm where I can make enough money to take care of my family and where I can continue the family tradition of breeding great Jerseys.” Abigail Grimm Abigail Grimm of Princeton, Minn., a sophomore at Ridgewater College, Willmar, Minn., with a major in agribusiness with a dairy emphasis, makes her debut in ninth place. She will be recognized with a $360 cash award for her achievements. Unique from the other contestants this year, Abigail gained a majority of her experience in the dairy industry by being employed by various dairy farms. When she first started, she learned how to safely operate Grimm farm equipment, feed calves, care for cows and assist with milking. As she became proficient at these tasks, Abigail began helping with treating sick animals and assisting with veterinary checks. An area of growth that Abigail is particularly proud of is her increased knowledge in reproduction. She received her certificate in artificial insemination and has learned estrous synchronization programs. By working closely with a veterinarian, she has developed programs and administered the shot protocols to make these reproductive efforts successful. She’s been involved in the Minnesota Jersey Cattle Association for five years and Minnesota Parish IV Jersey Association for two. Abigail currently owns five Registered Jersey heifers and seven cows and registers them under the Brickton Genetics prefix. (continued to page 27)

Youth Achievement Contest (continued from page 25)
She regularly exhibits her animals at the local and state shows and brought animals for the first time to the All American in 2019. Abigail’s animals have an average appraisal score of 87.6% based on six head. Two of the individuals are Excellent, the remaining Very Good. Abigail is always searching for new opportunities to expand her knowledge in the dairy industry. In 2019, she was the AJCA Fred Stout on-farm intern at Broumley Dairy in Hico, Texas. She’s also attended Jersey Youth Academy and competed in the National Jersey Queen contest. When discussing the future of the Jersey breed, Abigail wrote, “The most important goal is to keep the Jersey breed unique and pure to the dairy industry. We need to be able to continue to make Jerseys known for their high components, longevity, calving ease and adaptation. The Jersey cow has a big impact on the industry by leaving a smaller carbon footprint, higher feed efficiency and heat tolerance.” Abigail plans to continue working with and build her herd of Registered Jerseys but would also like to travel the world and take on new challenges to assist in career growth. Her ultimate goal is to manage a dairy operation, while also operating a heifer raising facility. Willow Voegtlen Coming in 10 th place of the 2019 National Jersey Youth Achievement Contest is Willow Voegtlen, Columbia Cross Roads, Pa. She is the daughter of Timothy and Janis Voegtlen and will receive a cash award of $350. Willow currently works as a livestock handler at ABS Global in DeForest, Wis. In addition to her fulltime career in Wisconsin, she manages her Registered Jersey herd, August Gold Jerseys, which is located in Columbia Cross Roads. Her current herd of seven cows has an average appraisal score of 82%. She has exhibited her animals at local, state and national shows throughout her career as a junior exhibitor. Willow’s involvement in the dairy industry is unique. In 2001, her family sold their fourth-generation dairy farm. However, her father, Timothy, ensured his children grew up involved in the industry. Today, Willow is the proud f ifth generation and co-owner of August Gold Jerseys. She manages all mating, showing and marketing decisions, as well as takes charge of the record keeping and scheduling for the newly established REAP herd. Throughout her youth, Willow has SEPTEMBER 2020
participated in a wide array of youth activities. In 2018, she competed for the Miss United States Agriculture role where she placed among the top five of the competition. In 2019, she spearheaded the “Farming is Tough, Darling, But So Are You” campaign which sold clothing to raise funds for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Willow was able to donate $2,527.34 to assist with giving dairy farm families access to mental health care from the sales. She’s also taken Voegtlen part in many Jersey youth activities over her 13 years of participation. She has twice placed in the top five of the National Jersey Queen competition, as well as attended Class V of Jersey Youth Academy. In the future, Willow hopes to continue her education through courses that focus on dairy genetics and embryology. She would like to also grow and market her herd of Registered Jerseys, while developing a cow that can do well in the milking parlor and the showring. Willow also wants to continue promoting the Jersey breed and encouraging youth to be involved in youth development programs. Willow believes it is important to “continue to assure customers that real dairy products are nature’s most beneficial foods compared to the dairy alternatives.” Winners of the National Jersey Youth Achievement Contest 1957 1958 1959 1960 1961 1962 1963 1964 1965 1966 1967 1968 1969 1970 1971 1972 1973 1974 1975 1976 1977 1978 1979 1980 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989

stars at Courtney Farms, which uses a Lely robot to milk the herd. Four other members of the herd produced top 10 records for 2019, including the reigning world fat champion, Lyon Renegade Barb, Excellent-90%. Courtney Farms ranks 10th in the nation for actual fat production with a 2019 herd average of 19,542 lbs. milk, 1,093 lbs. fat and 754 lbs. protein on 65 cows. Iowa junior Mary Holtz of Maquoketa made her debut among the top rankings of the contest with Freeman-Holtz Hired Gun Jaiden. The Very Good-85% daughter of SV Jade Hired Gun-ET, GJPI -93, placed
second in Division II with a 4-11 record with a value of $6,358.93 and an m.e. of 31,717–1,300–1,119. Actual production is 29,120 lbs. milk, 1,215 lbs. milk and 1,025 lbs. fat.

For this lactation, she had four tests over 100 lbs. milk. She has three daughters and is managed with the Registered Jersey herd at Kunde Jersey Farm in Manchester, Iowa. Austin Dizek, Hadley, Mass., placed third in the division for older cows with Hillview Chilli Lindy-ET. Sired by Rowleys 11 Visionary Chili-ET, GJPI +83, the Very Good-87% five-year-old produced a 3-3 record with a value of $6,148.90 and an m.e. of 25,830–1,404–955. Actual production for the 297-day record is 22,260 lbs. milk, 1,369 lbs. fat (6.2%) and 840 lbs. protein (3.8%). Austin purchased “Lindy” from Chris and Cheryl Sorenson, Pine River, Wis., in the 2016 Pot O’Gold Sale. A member of the “Key Lime” cow family at Sorenson Jersey Farm, she has proven to be a worthy investment. She placed ninth in the 2019 Pot O’Gold Production Contest, where she earned a cash prize of $864.96 for her new owner and gave him three daughters by natural birth in three lactations. “Lindy” ranks on the list of the top 1.5% cows for genetic merit with a GJPI of +89. She produced a subsequent 4-3 lactation of 21,870 lbs. milk, 1,247 lbs. fat and 830 lbs. protein. This is the third consecutive year Austin has placed in either national youth production contest. He is one of three grandchildren of John Kokoski to place among the top 10 in the 2019 National Jersey Youth Production Contest. Austin and his cousin’s cattle are managed with the Kokoski herd at Mapleline Farm in Hadley. Andrew McReynolds, Danville, Vt., a familiar face to the production contest rankings, took fourth in Division II with Lucky Hill Plus Pringle {6}. The Excellent-90% daughter of Sweetie Plus Iatolas Bold {5}, GJPI +7, produced a 4-0 record with a value of $5,670.15 and an m.e. of 24,679–1,226–948.

ters in the herd at Lucky Hill Farm, owned and operated by Andrew and his family. He won the 2017 Pot O’Gold Production Contest. Rounding out the top five rankings in Division II of the 2019 National Jersey Youth Production Contest is Molly Kokoski, Hadley, Mass., another grandchild of National All-Jersey Inc. President, John Kokoski. Aspen Grove Irwin Hannah produced a 2-9 record with an m.e. of 25,679–1,247–903 and a value of $5,629.21. Actual production Page 34
is 22,690 lbs. milk, 1,106 lbs. fat and 803 lbs. protein. The Very Good-84% daughter of All Lynns Valentino Irwin-ET, GJPI +10, writes a pedigree rich with Pot O’Gold purchases and production contest placings. Molly purchased “Hannah” at the sale in 2016 from Alison Graves of Talbott, Tenn. She placed 11th in the production contest three years later. “Molly’s” dam, Lost Hill Dimension Holly, crossed the auction block at the Pot O’Gold Sale in 2013, purchased by Dylan Ellenburg of Aspen Grove Jerseys, Morristown, Tenn. She won the Pot O’Gold
Production Contest in 2016. Dylan sold “Hannah” to Alison, who then consigned her to the sale in Louisville, Ky., six months later. Division I Hobbs Lutz, Chester, S.C., won Division I of the youth production contest with Sun Valley Jive Tart. She made a first lactation with an m.e. of 28,985–1,529–1,043 and a value of $6,715.15 to top her peers. Actual production for the 1-9 record is 19,890 lbs. milk, 1,100 lbs. fat and 726 lbs. protein (3x milking). JERSEY JOURNAL
Hobbs purchased “Tart” from David and Kimberly Seals, Tillamook, Ore., at the Pot O’Gold Sale in 2017. She placed second in this year’s Pot O’Gold Production Contest with a value of $9,727.72 on her first lactation. She was a sound investment as Hobbs purchased her for $2,200 and earns a good portion of her price—$1,851.39—in prize winnings from this year’s production contest. The Very Good-86% three-year-old is sired by Sun Valley Jive, GJPI +46, and hails from the same cow family as the popular Jersey sire, Steinhauers Samson Lemonhead, GJPI +40. Her dam, Steinhauers Galvanize Cherrytort, Excellent-91%, is a maternal sister to the dam of “Lemonhead.” The Seals’ purchased “Cherrytort” from Steinhauers Jerseys, Mattoon, Wis., in The All American Jersey Sale in 2014. “Tart” freshened with her second calf in mid-November 2019 and has a projected m.e. of 16,866–941–643 at 2-11. Jack Zina, Hadley, Mass., placed second in Division I of the production contest with River Valley Mlton Tiramisu 4915-ET, another purchase from the 2017 Pot O’Gold Sale. Sired by IGL Magnum Milton-ET, GJPI +116, the Very Good-84% threeyear-old made a first lactation with an m.e. of 23,831–1,417–822 and a value of $5,980.41. Actual production for the 1-10 record is 17,610 lbs. milk, 1,070 lbs. fat (6.1%) and 650 lbs. protein (3.7%). “Tiramisu 4915” placed fourth in the 2020 Pot O’Gold Production Contest with a record value of $8,728.65. Jack will receive a cash prize in the amount of $1,046.44. She was consigned to the sale by River Valley Farm of Tremont, Ill. “Tiramisu 4915” is a prime example of equity building in action. She freshened with her second calf—a second daughter by natural birth—in mid-October 2019. A steady producer, she gave 87 lbs. milk for the tester just two weeks fresh and never dropped below 60 lbs. She has a projected m.e. of 25,298–1,480–974 at 2-9. She ranks among the top 500 genotyped cows with a GJPI of +109. The third of the Kokokoski grandchildren to rank in the production contest, Jack’s entry is also managed at Mapleline Farm. Renee Lydia Bok, Defiance, Ohio, ranks third in the division for younger cows with another purchase from the 2017 Pot O’Gold Sale. Her entry, JX Moonshadow Hills Bossy {5} made a first lactation with an m.e. of 27,453–1,267–997 and a value of $5,927.39 for the production contest. Actual production for the 1-9 record is 20,060 lbs. milk, 972 lbs. fat and 727 lbs. protein. “Bossy {5}” is sired by DP Nxlevel-ET, GJPI +88.

Though she left the herd shortly after, she has been a terrific foundation animal for Nicholas, with four daughters in four calvings by natural birth. Rounding out the top five placings in the 2019 National Jersey Youth Production Contest is Maxwell S. Chittenden, Schodack Landing, N.Y., with his purchase from the 2017 Pot O’Gold Sale, Ohio Spartan Sensation 540. For the production contest, her first lactation had a value of $5,816.76.

The Very Good-81% daughter of KashIn Spartan {6}-P-ET, GJPI +19, freshened with her second calf—the second of two heifers—in mid-September 2019. She made an actual record of 22,440 lbs. milk, 1,123 lbs. fat and 806 lbs. protein at 2-11. Maxwell purchased “Sensation 540” from Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio. He will receive a cash prize of $724.46 for placing eighth in the 2020 Pot O’Gold Production Contest. Other juniors to be honored for accomplishments in Division I of the contest are Zachary S.

of the sale gross (varying from 7-25% over the years) is set aside in a fund and held for three years to provide cash awards for the juniors whose heifers complete the highest records for dollar value. On November 4, 2017, the Pot O’Gold program offered 32 heifers to juniors in the Pot O’Gold Sale in Louisville, Ky. From the sale of those heifers, $21,624 was set aside in the fund to pay out this year. It will be distributed as follows: first prize, 18%; second, 11.5%; third, 8%; fourth, 6.5%; fifth, 6%; sixth, 5.5%; seventh, 5%; eighth, 4.5%; ninth and 10th, 4%; 11th-13th, 3%; 14th-16th, 2.5% each; 17th-19th, 2.0%; and 20th-22nd, 1.5%. To qualify for competition in the Pot O’Gold Production Contest, heifers must calve before they reach 30 months-of-age, be tested in a DHI herd owned by the purchaser or his or her parents and have a Data Collection Rating of 90 or higher. Loss, death or transfer of ownership of any purchase before the record is complete eliminates the heifer from competition. This year, 26 of the 32 entries met the qualifications to compete in the 2020 edition of the contest. The 26 records had an average m.e. of 22,523–1,140–823 and a dollar value average of $7,407.32. As mentioned previously, John “Dylan” Lehr has won this year’s Pot O’Gold Production Contest with Dutch Hollow Monument Cherry. She produced a record with a dollar value $10,756.89 to top the contest. Dylan will receive a check in the amount of $2,897.82, which exceeds the $2,600

purchase price of “Cherry” by $297.82. “Cherry” hails from the “Charity” line of the “Mischief ” cow family developed by Dutch Hollow Farm, owned and operated by consignor Paul C. Chittenden and his family in Schodack Landing, N.Y. She is managed with the herd at Den-Kel Jerseys in Byron, N.Y., one of the country’s top 10 Jersey herds for milk, fat and protein production. “Cherry” has proven to be a wise investment for Dylan, and not just for her production contest prize winnings. The Very Good-83% daughter of Wilsonview Pharoahs Monument, GJPI +113, started her milking career on September 1, 2018, with the birth of a heifer calf. The milking yearling gave 93 lbs. milk for her third test in November and followed this with yields of 91 lbs. in March, 104 lbs. in May and 93 lbs. in June at 299 days fresh. Actual production is 26,760 lbs. milk, 1,277 lbs. fat and 909 lbs. protein. Exactly one year later, she freshened with her second calf—another heifer. She gave 81 lbs. milk for the tester 18 days fresh then peaked with 106 lbs. milk in November. She had three additional tests over 100 lbs. milk and wound up with another stellar record of 29,330 lbs. milk, 1,418 lbs. fat and 1,013 lbs. protein at 2-9. The m.e. average for her two lactations is 35,567–1,666–1,203. California junior Jack Swanson of Hilmar placed third in the contest with JCJ Viceroy 36150. The daughter of CDF Viceroy-ET, GJPI +122, produced a 2-2 record with a value of $8,783.71. Jack will receive a cash prize of $1,287.92. Jack purchased “Viceroy 36150” from

James Ahlem, also of Hilmar, and housed her at Vierra Dairy Farms in Hilmar. A steady producer, she calved in late October 2018, peaked with 82 lbs. milk in January and never dropped below 71 lbs. milk for her 305-day record. She freshened with a heifer calf in late March 2020 to start her second lactation. She gave 96 lbs. milk in May and 93 lbs. in July and is projected to 26,484 lbs. milk, 1,181 lbs. fat and 924 lbs. actual at 3-8. Austin Dizek also placed in this year’s Pot O’Gold Production Contest with JX Gure Behia Leonel 12788 {4}. With a first lactation with a value of $8,716.68, he ranks fifth and will receive a check in the amount of $965.94. “Leonel 12788 {4}” was consigned by Green Valley Dairy of Kerman, Calif. She made an actual 2-2 record of 20,090 lbs. milk, 1,166 lbs. fat and 741 lbs. protein. The m.e. on the record is 24,329–1,420– 914. She calved again in late January and is on track to make another actual record over 20,000 lbs. milk. Austin has the Luck of the Irish when it comes to heifer calves. Like “Lindy,” her herdmate from the National Jersey Youth Production Contest, “Leonel 12788 {4}” added a pair of heifers in his name from just two calvings to the pens at Mapleline Farm. Juniors to place second, third and fifth, respectively, in the 2020 Pot O’Gold Production Contest are the previously mentioned Hobbs Lutz, Jack Zina and Renee Lydia Bok. Other juniors being recognized in the 2020 Pot O’Gold Production Contest are McCalister Russell, Hilmar, Calif.; Nathan Merriam, Hickman, Calif.; Devin Haywood, Hastings, Mich.; Lydia Chittenden; Andrew McReynolds; Emma Townsend, Lafayette, Ind.; Chelsie Fuller; Westin M. and Ryan M.

JERSEY YOUTH PROGRAMS
Twelve Students to Receive $31,600 in Scholarships
T
welve Jersey youth continuing their education will receive scholarships from the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) totaling $31,600. They will receive their awards on November 7, 2020, at the Junior Banquet, which concludes the events of Junior Day at The All American Junior Jersey Show in Louisville, Ky. The 12 recipients are pursuing higher education at universities and colleges in 10 states—Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia and Wisconsin. They are pursuing degrees in agricultural business, agricultural communications, agriculture science, animal science, dairy production and veterinary medicine. Thirty-three students applied for scholarships from the AJCA this year. Youth can apply for as many scholarships as they are eligible to compete for. Support for the AJCA scholarship program comes from eight different funds managed in perpetuity by the AJCA. In order to make available larger scholarship amounts, Jersey breeders can contribute to the funds at any time by contacting the AJCA at 614/322-4451. Russell Memorial Scholarships Two scholarships are given to commemorate the late William A. Russell’s lifetime of experience and service to the Jersey breed. The first scholarship, the William A. Russell Memorial Scholarship, was established in his name in 1977 and is designated for students who have completed high school and are beginning their university studies. The second scholarship was established in 2005, for graduate students in dairy science, animal science (dairy emphasis), large Hanson animal veterinary practice, dairy production or manufacturing, or dairy product marketing. In November 2006, the scholarship was renamed the Russell-Malnati Scholarship for Advanced Studies to honor another long-time supporter of the national Jersey scholarship programs—the late J. J. “Doc” SEPTEMBER 2020
Malnati of Bush River Jerseys, Newberry, S.C. In its 16th year of establishment, the scholarship has the distinction of being the largest scholarship offered by the AJCA. Russell-Malnati Scholarship for Advanced Studies Jessica Marie Hanson, Ulysses, Kan., is the recipient of the $5,000 scholarship for advanced studies. She earned her undergraduate degree from Kansas State University (KSU) in 2019 and is now enrolled in the university’s College of Veterinary Medicine. She plans to return to rural southwest Kansas and establish a clinic that offers affordable care for local dairies due to the shortage of large animal veterinarians in the area. Jessica’s parents, Phil and Barbara Hanson, have been raising dairy cattle since the 1970s. She became involved with them early, showing Jerseys when she was just two. Though they initially farmed in Wisconsin, the family moved to the farm in Kansas when Jessica was nine. The environment for their county fair in Wisconsin, with three entire barns for dairy cattle, was very different from the one in Kansas, where Jessica was the onekid, one-cow show for many years. But with Barbara as project leader at the helm and Jessica as junior leader, the Grant County Fair grew to eight kids, nine cows and six heifers this past year. The Hansons lease cattle to youth who can’t afford their own animals and house animals for those without facilities to provide the dairy experience to everyone with a desire. Jessica has also shown cattle at the Kansas State Fair and the Kansas All Breeds Show and, in 2018, crossed an item off her show bucket list—the International Jersey Show in Madison, Wis. For her last year of eligibility, Jessica was on the halter of a heifer that had been tapped Supreme Champion of the Kansas All Breeds Show and was co-owned with one of their 4-Hers. A goal for Jessica is to consistently breed animals of that caliber, animals that can compete with the best-of-the-best at World Dairy Expo. Jessica’s herd of Registered Jerseys has grown to 10 head and is now enrolled on REAP. In high school, Jessica was elected class secretary, vice president and president.
She also served as treasurer and vice president for FFA and secretary and vice president for 4-H. She was a member of the 4-H dairy judging team that represented Kansas in national competitions in 2015. Involvement with youth programs reinforced Jessica’s desire to pursue a career in agriculture. She attended Seward County Community College (SCCC) to complete general education classes, then transferred to KSU to earn a degree in animal science. She was treasurer of the Block and Bridle Club and Collegiate Farm Bureau at SCCC and judged livestock on the college team as well. She was in the honors program at KSU and belonged to the Dairy Science Club and Dairy Leaders of the Future. She was a member of the university’s dairy judging team too. Jessica is a veterinary assistant at the Konza Veterinary Clinic in Manhattan, Kan., and has fulfilled internships with the Kansas Department of Agriculture and the veterinary hospital in Ulysess, Kan. She has farm experience at Sun-E-View Farm and Noble Dairy. William A. Russell Memorial Scholarship Caroline C. Arrowsmith, Peach Bottom, Pa., has been named winner of the William A. Russell Memorial Scholarship in the amount of $2,750. The daughter of Thomas and Amanda Arrowsmith is a freshman at Pennsylvania State University, majoring in animal science with a dairy focus. She plans to pursue a master’s degree related to dairy science at an accredited university after earning her undergraduate degree. Caroline grew up on Hillacres Jersey Farm, a 65Arrowsmith cow Registered Jersey farm operated by her family in the southeast corner of the state. Her early involvement with cattle focused on showing, from the time she was five, at the halter of Hillacres Vavoom Vogue. Caroline’s responsibilities grew as she did, starting as help for her father with milking, to feeding (continued to page 42)

calves, to milking and feeding cows on her own and daily maintenance of the farm. She has earned many accolades in the show ring at the county, state and national level, including The All American Jersey Show. But Caroline may shine brightest when talking about the Jersey cow and promoting the agriculture world to consumers. She has won dairy jeopardy at state and national levels, as at ease with scientific facts as she is with presenting information with imagination. She helped to plan the AJCA-NAJ Annual Meetings hosted by Pennsylvania in 2017 and attended Jersey Youth Academy in 2019. She is president of her local 4-H club and has also served the club as social chairman, secretary and treasurer. She also presides over the county junior Holstein club and has been club vice president and secretary. Her service to school was equally broad as she is a former treasurer of the drama club, secretary of the Spanish Honor Society and student senate executive board, philanthropist of National Honor Society and dance captain of the school’s musicals.

In addition to the Russell Memorial Scholarship from the AJCA, Caroline has received scholarships from Solanco High School, the Lenfest Foundation, the Lancaster Farm and Home Foundation and the Penn State College of Agriculture. Jack C. Nisbet Scholarship The Jack C. Nisbet Memorial Scholarship fund was created in 1965 to honor the AJCA’s seventh Executive Secretary, whom served the organization from 19431947. All nominees for the National Jersey Youth Achievement Contest are eligible for consideration in the year in which they compete in the youth contest. This year, the $2,750 award will be presented to Lydia Rose Chittenden, Schodack Landing, N.Y. The daughter of Alan and Donna Chittenden Chittenden is a sophomore at State University of New York (SUNY)Cobleskill. She is majoring in animal science major with a focus on dairy. She plans to transfer to Cornell University next
fall to earn her bachelor’s degree. She placed fifth in the 2019 National Jersey Youth Achievement Contest. With Primus Kwynn Haven-ET, she placed ninth in Division I of the 2019 National Youth Production Contest and 11th in the 2020 Pot O’Gold Production Contest. She attended Jersey Youth Academy in 2019 and received the William A. Russell Memorial Scholarship that year as well. Lydia’s current herd of 59 Registered Jerseys is managed with the herd at Dutch Hollow Farm LLC, a 750-cow dairy owned and operated by her extended family. She takes a special interest in calf management and genetics, gaining valuable hands-on mating experience with her own cattle and the embryo transfer program at Dutch Hollow. During the summer, Lydia travels an extensive show circuit that includes fairs in Columbia, Duchess and Delaware Counties, the Delaware County Jersey Parish Show and the Chenango District Jersey Cattle Club Show. The tanbark trail culminates with the All American Junior Jersey Show, where she earned best bred and owned laurels with an entry in 2013. At the Columbia County Fair, she won master showmanship in 2015 and showed the Supreme Champion in 2018.
JERSEY JOURNAL
Equally enjoyable to Lydia is the show mentor program at Dutch Hollow. For the past three years, she has set aside several hours each day, five-plus days a week to show a small group of 4-Hers how to feed their calves, clean their stalls, clip and wash them for the show and best present them to the judge in the ring. She halterbreaks each animal in advance to ensure the learning experience is a safe and enjoyable one for all. Lydia has also held leadership roles in school. She was captain of the varsity soccer team and basketball teams. The role with the basketball team led to work with the Miracle League Challenger Basketball Program for special needs children at the Rensselaer Boys and Girls Club. She was also a member of National Honor Society, where she helped with Thanksgiving dinners and blood drives and raised donations for the ColumbiaGreene Humane Society. She was treasurer of her 4-H club and a member of teams that represented New York at dairy judging contests held with the Pennsylvania All-American Dairy Show and World Dairy Expo. She was involved with Cornell University’s PRODAIRY program as a high school sophomore and junior and representing her state at the National 4-H Dairy Conference in 2017. Lydia earned a spot on the dean’s list at SUNY-Cobleskill during her first semester and the president’s list the second semes-
ter, all while playing with the university’s women’s basketball team too. She also belongs to the SUNY-Cobleskill Dairy Club. For more information on Lydia and her accomplishments in the achievement contest, see page 22. V. L.

For more information on Gracie and her accomplishments in the achievement contest, see page 20. AJCA Directors’ Scholarship In 2005, with special encouragement from the late Donnie Sherman in his role as president, the AJCA leadership established a long-range goal of increasing scholarship funds. To further this goal, a young bull bred by Sherman, D&E Rebel Scholar {6}-ET, was syndicated in The All American Jersey Sale, with all proceeds from his sale and future royalties earmarked for the AJCA Educational, Youth Activities and Special Awards Fund. This scholarship—called the AJCA Directors’ Scholarship—was awarded for the first time in 2016. Joshua “Josh” David Seals, Tillamook, Ore., will receive the $2,500 scholarship this year. The son of Dave and Kim Seals is a sophomore at Eastern Oregon University (EOU) in La Grande. He is majoring in agriculture science and animal science. Josh placed Seals eighth in the 2019 National Jersey Youth Achievement Contest and was a member of the sixth class of Jersey Youth Academy. A third-generation Jersey breeder, Josh has lived his entire life a Jersey farm, be that Sunny Ridge Dairy, owned by his parents, or Sun Valley Jerseys of Cloverdale, Ore., owned by his grandparents and unSEPTEMBER 2020
cle. His long-term goal is to return to the family farm, expanding the herd by 50% to accommodate the move. His desire is to breed quality cattle, following in the footsteps of his grandparents, Bearl “Smokey” and Joanne Seals, who received the AJCA Master Breeder in 2013 and the National Dairy Shrine Distinguished Cattle Breeder Award in 2016. Josh takes a special interest in genetics, with a short-term goal of consigning a heifer to the 2022 National Heifer Sale, to be hosted by his home state in Portland. He is close to this dream as two of the seven calves in his heifer pens have Genomic Jersey Performance Indexes (GJPIs) over +100, one has a Parent Average JPI of +122 and another carries a Genomic Jersey Udder Index of +19.9 In this same thinking, he has a goal of marketing bulls in A.I. He has been active in Jersey youth production contests on the state and national levels and a regular exhibitor at the Tillamook County Fair and the Western National Jersey Show. He served his 4-H club as president and his local FFA chapter as president and vice president. He placed among the top 10 in the national FFA dairy judging contest and was named champion dairy showman at the Tillamook County Fair in 2019. In high school, Josh was captain of the football team for two years and wrestled for the school as well. A skilled welder, he led multiple large projects for the school shop. He was elected treasurer of the EOU Trap Club and nominated by this club and the Agriculture Club to represent the ag community on the EOU university council.

Active A.I. and Foreign Bulls Ranked By GJPI, August 2020 The 66 highest-ranking bulls with NAAB marketing codes A and F from the official single breed “S” genetic evaluations released by the Council on Dairy Cattle Breeding (CDCB) for August 2020 are listed below. Code A indicates active A.I. progeny proven bulls, while code F designates foreign-proven bulls marketed in the United States. Bulls must be genotyped and have a BBR to be included. Bulls are separated in two groups, with those having AJCA Herd Register status or a Generation Count of 4-6 and a BBR 100, listed first, followed by bulls with Generation Count (GC) 3 or GC 4-6 with a BBR 93 and lower.
A total of 154 Jersey bulls with the A and F codes qualified for the August evaluation release. The group average is -6M, +25F, +13P, CM$ +222, NM$ +200, DPR +0.5, GJUI +1.9 and +55 GJPI. For the complete list of Active A.I. and Foreign Bulls Marketed in the U.S., refer to the Jersey Genetic Summary (Vol. 25, No. 2, online at http://greenbook.usjersey.com). Three-generation AJCA Official Performance Pedigrees are included on the Green Book website. MILK, FAT AND PROTEIN

Appraisal Traits for Active A.I. and Foreign Bulls Ranked By GJPI Jersey Performance IndexTM and Appraisal Trait PTAs JPI2020 (first column below) predicts the efficiency of production by expressing lifetime production of fat and protein per unit of feed consumed. Traits and their weights in JPI2020, are 27% PTA protein; 19% PTA fat; -3% Milk Density*; 19.4% Functional Trait Index (subsets are Jersey Udder IndexTM, Feet and Legs and Body); 14.5% Fertility (includes 9% Daughter Pregnancy Rate, 3.5% Cow Conception Rate and 2% Heifer Conception Rate); 8% Survival (subsets includes 5% Productive Life and 3% Livability); 4.5% Somatic Cell Score; and six new Jersey Health Traits at 4.6% GJPI GJPI REL NAME OF BULL
(Milk Fever 1.0%; Displaced Abomasum 1.0%; Ketosis 0.4%; Mastitis 1.9%; Metritis 0.2% and Retained Placenta 0.1.%). (see page 62 for health trait listing) The weight of each trait in the JPI formula was published in the April 2020 issue on page 25. Jersey Haplotype Status Official status for Jersey Haplotype 1, based on a genotype of 6K or higher density, is listed: F designating status Free, C designating status Carrier.

CDCB Health Traits for A.I. Marketed Bulls A & F, Single Evaluation In April 2020, the Council on Dairy Cattle Breeding (CDCB) genetic evaluations debuted six health traits to help alleviate costly health conditions impacting Jerseys. These traits will help build resistance against displaced abomasum, milk fever, ketosis, mastitis, metritis and retained placenta. PTAs for each of the health traits are the predicted daughter difference for resistance above or below the Jersey breed average. The larger the positive values, the more favorable the genetic resistance to the disorder. These genetic evaluations can help identify individuals that transmit costly difference and help manage their use in breeding NAME OF BULL

The traits and their weights in JPI2020 are: Milk Fever or Hypocalcemia (1.0%) Typically results after calving due to low total blood calcium levels; • Displaced abomasum (1.0%) Enlargement of the abomasum with fluid and/or gas that caused its movement to the left or right of the abdominal cavity; the twisting blocks the digestive process and usually requires veterinary intervention; Ketosis (0.4%) Build-up of ketone bodies that typically occurs due to negative energy balance in early lactation; Mastitis (1.9%) Infectious disease that causes inflammation of the mammary gland; one of the most common and

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. JERSEY JOURNAL

In Memoriam Robert E. Bachman Robert E. Bachman, Mount Joy, Pa., 58, passed away on July 9, 2020. He was born in Ephrata, Pa., son of the late James N. Bachman and Maureen M. McCollum Banner of Millerstown, Pa., and stepson of Joseph Banner. He owned and operated a Registered Jersey farm in Mount Joy for many years and also worked in the mines in Tremont. He was a member of the American Jersey Cattle Association and the Dela-Ches Fishing Association in Lawn. He enjoyed riding his motorcycle and kept busy. He was kind, giving and amicable to all. In addition to his mother and stepfather, he is survived by a daughter, Jenna Weaver of Lancaster, Pa.; siblings Michele Hess and Michael (Anita) Bachman, both of Manheim, Pa.; a stepdaughter, Jessica Shenk of Virginia; and four nephews. He was preceded in death by his wife, Debbie A. Wilt Bachman, who passed away in 2016, and a brother, James N. Bachman, Jr. Memorials in his name may be made to a charity of one’s choice. Margaret L. Kauffman Margaret L. Kauffman, Shreve, Ohio, 90, passed away on July 18, 2020, at LifeCare Hospice in Wooster. She was born on July 17, 1930, in Congress, Ohio, to J. Floyd and Erma (Swartz) Strock. She married Dale Kauffman, a former Director for National All-Jersey Inc., on November 6, 1949. The Kauffmans and their family operate Margandale Jerseys, a Registered Jersey farm in Shreve. Though her kind and gentle spirit enabled her to raise calves to maturity and care for cows, she was best known for her cooking skills. She faithfully made a pie every day but Sunday, using no recipe because she knew the consistency of dough by touch alone. She cared for family members too, ensuring each knew they were dearly loved. She was a member of the Hopewell Presbyterian Church, which she served as trustee and hospitality committee head for many years. In addition to her husband of 70 years, Dale, she is survived by three children, Linda (Chet) Franks, Denny (Chris) Kauffman and Jenny (Jason) Schumaker, all of Shreve; four grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by a son, Robert Dale Kauffman, in 2017, and seven brothers and sisters, Benjamin Strock, Kathryn Fetter, Kenneth Strock, Paul SEPTEMBER 2020
Strock, Mary Schaaf, Lavonne Uhl and Eileen Strock. Memorials may be made to LifeCare Hospice, 1900 Akron Rd., Wooster, OH 44691 or Hopewell Presbyterian Church Endowment Fund, 6900 SR 754, Shreve, OH 44676. Robert “Bob” Thompson Robert “Bob” Thompson, Hurley, S.D., 85, passed away on July 20, 2020, in an automobile accident. He was born on October 2, 1934, on the family farm near Hurley, to Harry and Mayme (Peterson) Thompson. He graduated from Hurley High School in 1952 and then served in the U.S. Air Force. Bob married Geraldine “Gerry” Plath in 1954. They moved to Turner County in 1956 to begin farming, then to Gerry’s home place in 1965, where they farmed and lived until his passing. For many years he produced South Dakota certified soybean seed for area farmers. Bob played amateur baseball in his younger years and was inducted into the South Dakota Softball Hall of Fame in 1997. He was an active member of the Hurley American Legion and baptized and confirmed at the Hurley United Methodist Church. The couple had three children, including Linda (wife of National All-Jersey Director Calvin Graber of Parker, S.D.), Diane Thompson and Randi (Christi) Thompson. He is also survived by seven grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren; and a sister Deloris (Rick) Ricci of LeMars, Iowa. He was preceded in death by his wife, Gerry, in 1998, and grandson, Ryan Graber, in 2009. Undesignated memorials may be given to the Ryan Graber Memorial 4-H Scholarship that is awarded annually at the Turner County Fair. Duane Sterling Kuhlman Duane Sterling Kuhlman, Snohomish, Wash., 92, passed away on July 24, 2020. He was born on April 10, 1928, in Snohomish to parents of German descent. He played football and was a member of the band at Snohomish High School and excelled as an FFA leader. He defended his country for two years while enlisted in the Army. His early life experiences and time on the farm owned by his parents prepared him for a lifelong career in dairy farming. He established Greenridge Jerseys in 1942 as a 4-H project. Over the next five decades, he bred Registered Jersey cows and bulls that were sought the world over for their high production and longevity. Duane received the national Jersey
organization’s highest award—Master Breeder—in 2001. Duane initially milked a herd of 55 cows, then expanded the herd to 130 cows in 1954. The purchase of an adjoining 178acre farm in 1961 enabled him to build a herringbone parlor and grow the herd size to 210 cows. The herd was enrolled on official performance programs of the national Jersey association in 1974. Greenridge Jerseys ranked nationally for production for more than a decade, reaching pinnacle status among large herds for milk and protein in 1994 with a herd average of 18,700 lbs. milk and 699 lbs. protein on 200-plus cows. Duane retired from dairying in 1995, selling much of the herd and leasing the farm to Jerry Rodeffer and his family. Arguably the most well-known animal of Duane’s breeding is Greenridge FW Chief Althea-ET, who sold in the 1987 All American Jersey Sale to Comfort Hill Jersey Farm in Vermont for $14,000. She topped the Comfort Hill Dispersal in 1990, selling to Chaney Farms, Bowling Green, Ky. “Althea” has 130 male descendants in A.I. sampling and was named Runner-Up in the 2000 Jersey Journal Great Cow Contest. She received the Edyvean Farm Trophy for lifetime protein production in 2000. Another female of significance is Greenridge Berretta Accent, the former world milk and protein champion, who completed a record of 41,616 lbs. milk, 1,943 lbs. fat and 1,501 lbs. protein in 2000. She was among the animals sold to the Rodeffer family in 1995. Duane was a member of the American Jersey Cattle Association. He was also an active member of Zion Lutheran Church in Snohomish and the Snohomish Lions Club, selling hot dogs with his wife, Pat, from the organization’s “Weenie Wagon.” Over the years, Duane nurtured many farm hands and mentored many Jersey breeders. Later in life, he played golf and horseshoes and tended a garden. His family knew him as a kind and gentle man and a true patriarch. He is survived by his wife Pat Kuhlman, children, Mike (Rose), Dan, Kathy (Guyle), Bobbi (Bruce), Bonni (Gene) and Christine (Steve); and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Memorials may be made to Snohomish Lions Club. Jeffrey Michael Michalek Jeffrey Michael Michalek, Perry, Mich., 56, passed away on July 27, 2020. He was born on March 15, 1964, in Owosso, Mich., to the late George J. and Frances H. (Sayles) Michalek. He resided (continued to page 68)

his entire life on the family farm in Perry Township. He graduated from Perry Public Schools with the class of 1982 and earned a degree from Michigan State University’s agricultural technology program. Jeff partnered with his brother, Ronald, in the dairy business. The pair operated the last dairy farm in Perry Township until 2009, when they sold the cows. The Michaleks continued to farm, focusing on a cash crop business instead. In his youth, Jeff was active in 4-H and FFA. He enjoyed showing Registered Jerseys at the Shiawassee County and Fowlerville Fairs and the Michigan State Fair in Detroit, first through 4-H and later in Page 68

Even after selling the cows, Jeff continued to be passionate about Jerseys, showing heifers, attending county fairs and other cattle shows and auctions and talking about pedigrees with fellow breeders. He was a member of the American Jersey Cattle Association and the Michigan Jersey Cattle Club, where he served as president, vice president and secretary and volunteered for many committees. He sat on the board and numerous committees of Farm Bureau at the county level and was a lifetime member of the FFA Alumni As-
