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.

U.S. Dairy Exports Up According to Dairy Management Inc. (DMI), the U.S. dairy industry is on its way to a record year for export volume. Data collected suggested that more than two million tons of milk solids will be shipped for the first time in 2020. To put this data into a real life scenario, it suggests that one out of six tankers leaving American farms ends up in U.S. dairy products and ingredients sold in other countries. From 2016 to 2020, U.S. exports grew significantly. U.S. dairy export volume (milk solids equivalent) over the first 10 months of 2020 was up by 344,003 MT over January-October 2016—a 24% increase. U.S. export value over the same period was up $1.6 billion, a gain of 41%.

A Spectacular Event Made to Fit 2020 This year has been one big roller coaster ride for all of us and while 2020 is now hindsight, there is no doubt the ride will continue to create new challenges and opportunities for us in 2021. 2020 has been described many ways— unprecedented, chaotic, unpredictable—but yet the year has also provided many opportunities to find more efficient, cost-saving ways to accomplish goals. Seven months ago it seemed every day we heard another cattle event was cancelled. Many began to question what would be the new normal for the world as we were asked to continue to “shelter at home.” For the dairy producer, life continued as normal in daily routines, but milk markets were turned upside down, cattle prices plummeted, and things were not typical. As news came that World Dairy Expo and the Pennsylvania All-American were cancelled, questions began to come in asking “What about Louisville?” The North American International Livestock Exposition (NAILE) staff, began to work on a plan to submit to the governor of Kentucky to allow for the show in November. Over the next several months, that plan was updated and presented to the governor. Prayers were answered in mid-September, as USJersey staff was informed the All American Jersey Shows and Sales would go on. The event would have a different look, as it would be a non-specatator event (only participants would be allowed access), masks would be worn at all times in the barn and show ring, and COVID-19 barn rules would be enforced to limit the size of gatherings. Did this damper the event? Not one bit. Breeders were pleased to have an opportunity to showcase their cattle, visit with peers, and grasp a bit of normalcy to an otherwise crazy year. The USJersey organizations want to send a personal thank you to the following groups that gave their time and support to the 2020 All American events: • NAILE and its staff for their professional and competent
leadership with making the weekend happen and run smoothly; • The 109 members of the All American committees who planned and helped make the events a reality; • The consignors of the 42 lots in the All American Jersey Sale, who continue to provide the largest source of financial support to the All American; • The consignors of the 23 heifers in the Pot O’Gold Sale which has grown to be an excellent way for youth to begin a strong foundation for their future; • Land O’Lakes Animal Milk Solutions for their continued support of the All American youth activities and the Pot O’Gold Sale; • The 108 Jersey youth (and their parents) that exhibited 186 head in the Junior show; • The breeders and exhibitors from all parts of North America that exhibited 347 cows and heifers in The All American Jersey Show; • The owners of 26 three-year-olds shown in the National Jersey Jug Futurity; • Sponsors of class and individual awards for all three shows; • The judges for the National Jersey Queen and showmanship contests. Your guidance in working with the outstanding youth is greatly appreciated; • Joe Sparrow, Jared Major, Terri Packard, Richard Caverly, Justin Burdette and Pat Lundy—this year’s team of judges—thank you for your professionalism and enthusiasm in the ring; • And last, but not least to the USJersey staff for your dedication in working with the committees, exhibitors, consignors and youth in planning and staging this great Jersey event. Now is the time to grab hold of 2021, throw our hands in the air and make the most of the unpredictable ride we are given.

or Natalie and Mia Berry of Sherwood, Ore., it will be hard to top the 2020 All American Jersey weekend in Louisville, Ky. One of the major contributors to this excitement was Triple-T-Heath Getaway to Cancun-ET. Each day was special for the sister duo. On Saturday, “Cancun” was named Reserve Junior National Grand Champion of the All American Junior Jersey Show. During the National Jersey Jug Futurity, Natalie was crowned the 2020 National Jersey Queen by lifelong friend, 2019 National Jersey Queen Gracie Krahn.
For most youth, these experiences alone would made a forever impact. Little did Natalie and Mia know, the best was yet to come. The weekend culminated when “Cancun” was tapped as the 2020 National Grand Champion of the 68th All American Jersey Show on November 9, 2020. Claiming Reserve National Grand Champion honors was SV Velocity RosieET. Exhibited by Spring Valley and Heath Jerseys, David Jordan, FTA Syndicate and Boer Jerseys, Westminster, Md., “Rosie” also walked away with Intermediate

While he has judged numerous shows in the northeast, as well as served as associate judge of the Red & White Holstein Show at World Dairy Expo, this was his first time judging on the green shavings during the North American International Livestock Exposition. Championship Classes As Judge Justin Burdette allowed the spectators in the stands and streaming via livestream to view the pairs of Senior, Intermediate and Junior Champions, it was clear the audience was in awe as Freedom Hall was silent. After thanking the North American for putting on the weekend’s events, the exhibitors and crews in the barn, his associate judge and his wife, Claire, Judge Burdette made a statement that resonated with everyone who was watching. “A lot of things are undecided in this country, but here in a minute, we’re going to decide who the National Champion is,”
said Burdette. “It’s been a beautiful show today, a beautiful display of cattle.” “I don’t think we made a secret about it, we really like that four-year-old cow,” said Burdette of “Cancun.” “Tremendous width and capacity, a beautiful udder and strong dairy cow who looks like she produces milk easily and has that beautiful silky hide, she’s a high style cow.” “Cancun” received the Silver Spring Farms Trophy as Grand Champion, as well as the A. J. Keightley Memorial Trophy for having the best udder of the show. Her breeders, Michael Heath and Triple T Holsteins, Westminster, Md., received the Adelene Keightley Memorial Trophy.

Intermediate and Senior Champions “When you see these cows come back out for intermediate champion, it’s certainly an impressive group of cows. Beautiful mammary systems, tremendous feet and legs and cows with dairy quality and frames. Cows that look like they have the will to milk,” said Judge Burdette during his intermediate champion reasons. “We’re quite pleased with this group.” After giving the 2020 All American Junior Three-Year-Old SV Velocity RosieET the tap for Intermediate Champion, he went on to say, “When she comes out here, she just overwhelms the rest of this group with her overall power. But she’s got that beautiful quality and wears a tremendous mammary system.” “Rosie” received the Phil and Marty Gordon and Family Trophy as Intermediate Champion for her exhibitors Spring Valley and Heath Jerseys, David Jordan, FTA Syndicate and Boer Jerseys.

Heifers with super feet and legs, frames with capacity, style and balance.” Big Guns Andreas Velvet-ET took home the Tennessee Jersey Cattle Club Trophy for her owners, Benjamin and Sara Kronberg, Milton, Wis., when she was named Junior Champion. She also received a banner in memory of John and Charlotte Stiles. “She’s a heifer that’s high style. She has beautiful, feminine quality when you look at her through the head and neck. She’s a little more feminine and has a little more breed character,” explained Judge Burdette. She used her advantage in being nicer at the point of shoulder and tracking squarer and more freely on her hind legs to cinch her spot as Junior Champion.

The Class Winners “Good morning and what a nice group of March calves we have to start with here today,” said Judge Burdette as he spoke his first set of reasons. “Pat and I are excited to be out here this morning and we’re really excited as these calves get lined up here to start our show.” As he described the 2020 All American Junior Heifer Calf, Milksource Reviresco Molly, he said, “The calf we’re going to start with today is a calf that has that high style. She has size and scale, yet she has femininity and quality, length from end-toend. She excels in this class, just carrying a little more capacity throughout her frame.” “Molly” is owned by Vierra Dairy Farms, Hilmar, Calif. She used her overall capacity to place over Four-Hills Joel Baracuda-ET, the Reserve All American Junior Calf exhibited by Spatz Cattle Company and Dream Valley of Lititz, Pa. “The calf in second is one of the younger calves in the class, but a calf that’s lovely balanced,” said Burdette of the second place heifer. She used her advantage in having more levelness and width in her hooks and pins to place over the next heifer. Claiming third and best bred and owned honors for Crestbrooke Jerseys, Fond du Lac, Wis., was Crestbrooke Colton Melonia-ET. “The calf in third is another heifer that has that beautiful, high style. You love the femininity and angularity.” JANUARY 2021
“Three lovely heifers to come to the top of the class. Maybe heifers that aren’t the biggest in the class, but heifers that are lovely balanced and correct in their kind.” Leading out as the All American Intermediate Heifer Calf was Arethusa Gentry Chantile-ET. “Chantile” was exhibited by Misty Meadow Dairy of Tillamook, Ore. “Just a lovely balanced calf,” said Burdette. “A calf that’s feminine and angular, she has that high wedgy shoulder. She’s neater through that loin region and carries herself more nearly level from hooks to pins. When you watch her on the move, she goes around the ring and places her feet down a little more squarely as you view her from the rear over the real similar calf coming in second.” Stadview Gentry Velocity made her way in second as the Reserve All American Intermediate Heifer Calf. Exhibited by Bos Dairy, Lovington, N.M., she used her advantage in overall length from end to end, sweep and openness of rib and angularity to place over the third calf. Roger Riebe and Emma and Alleah Anderson, Cumberland, Wis., placed third with their first place bred and owned entry, Meadowridge Andreas Huckleberry. Intermediate heifer calf (29 shown) 1.

“The heifer we are going to start with is a heifer that just commands attention,” said Judge Burdette of the 2020 All American Junior Yearling Heifer, Big Guns Andreas Velvet-ET, shown by Benjamin and Sara Kronberg, Milton, Wis. “She is a heifer that has a beautiful uphill run, she’s high in the chine, tight at the point of shoulder and when you view her from the front, she has that beautiful head and neck. She’s got super breed character and is wide chested when you look at her from the front end.” The Reserve All American Junior Yearling title was presented to Lady Lane Impression Josephine, exhibited by Finley Rosa, Hilmar, Calif. She used her advantage in being nicer in the blending of parts and having more femininity and angularity throughout to place over the heifer in third.

As Schulte Bros Colton Fame-ET paraded the ring as the All American Winter Yearling Heifer, Judge Burdette gave his reasons on his final class of the All American Jersey Heifer Show. When describing the heifer owned by Kaleb, Cole and Carter Kruse and Gene Henderson, Dyersville, Iowa, he said, “She’s a heifer that as you watch her go around the ring, she’s higher at the point of shoulder, fuller through the crops and has a nicer arch to her back when she’s out on the move.” Big Guns Gentry Vegas-ET was declared the Reserve All American Winter Yearling for her exhibitors, Madison Fisher and Petra Meier, Newville, Pa. Judges Burdette and Lundy preferred her being fuller and wider in the front end, as well as fuller in the crops, to help her cinch the second-place spot.

Henry P. Knolle Trophy for being named the All American Milking Yearling. She is the bred and owned entry of Ron and Christy Ratliff, Garnett, Kan. A more stylish individual, “Vixen” also had the advantage in being nicer about the top of the rear udder and having more extension to the fore udder to take her over the second place entry. Following in second was J.P.L Joel Adelia, owned by Vierra Dairy Farms. “When you view her from the rear, she’s a little wider through the hooks and pins and more nearly level on the udder floor than the real youthful cow coming in third,” stated Judge Burdette in his reasons for second over third. Placing third in the class of twenty-eight was Lyon Colton Shady for owner Rancho Teresita Dairy. Milking yearling (28 shown) 1.

As Drentex Velocity Sweet paraded the green shavings with her newly claimed title of All American Junior Two-Year-Old, Judge Burdette sang her praises. “A really nice cow jumped out for us to start the class. A cow that you love that frame she has, she’s a high style cow. She has that capacity and width throughout and wears a tremendous mammary system.” Exhibited by South Mountain, Franchise and Kurt Wolf, Boonsboro, Md., “Sweet” also captured the best udder title. Placing second and the best bred and owned entry in the class was KCJF Joel Never Back Down, the entry for Keightley/Core Jerseys and Kenny and Kelly Jo Manion, Salvisa, Ky. She edged out Ratliff Money Delirious, exhibited by Misty Meadow Dairy. When presenting reasons for second over third, Burdette explained that “Never Back Down” walked on a more desirable set of rear feet and legs compared to “Delirious.” Junior 2-yr.-old cow (27 shown) Class sponsored by: Mayfield Farm and Nursery, Athens, Tenn. 1.

“Love that beautiful length she has from end-to-end,” said Burdette of his All American Senior Two-Year-old cow, Goff Andreas Mae-ET, exhibited by Buster Goff and Milksource Genetics, Kaukauna, Wis. It was her advantage in overall length, angularity and capacity which took her over the recently fresh Ducret Joel Belle. “Taking nothing away from the lovely uddered cow in second, she just needs a little more time to get her midsection back and get that capacity to her frame,” explained Judge Burdette. Exhibited by Keightley and Core and Frank and Diane Borba, Salvisa, Ky., “Belle” was presented the best udder award for class. It was her advantage in mammary system that secured her position as the Reserve All American. Joe and Sarah Rocha and Brent Rocha, Tillamook, Ore., exhibited the third place individual, Josclaud Victorious Pixar. Senior 2-yr.-old cow (28 shown) 1.

“Whether you are in the stands or you’re at home right now, you better look quick because that’s quite a rear view you get the whole way down this line-up of cows,” praised Judge Burdette during the junior three-year-old class. “What a beautiful group of cows.” As he described his All American Junior Three-Year-Old cow, SV Velocity RosieET, Burdette said, “What a beautiful cow we have to start the class. If you like dairy strength and width and capacity, look at this cow.” Exhibited by Spring Valley and Heath Jerseys, David Jordan, FTA Syndicate and Boer Jerseys, “Rosie” was also named best udder. She would later claim the Intermediate Champion and Reserve National Grand Champion titles. Meadowridge Vitality Strawberry took the Reserve All American honors for owners Roger Riebe and Emma and Alleah Anderson. “Strawberry” was given an advantage in udder attachments to place over Royalty Ridge Velocity Glimmer, the third place cow owned by Ryan A.

Topping the class of 21 senior three-yearolds and claiming best udder laurels was Seacord Howacres Tesla, presented by David Jordan, The Franchise, FTA Syndicate and River Valley Farm, Ashville, Ohio. “A cow with tremendous quality from end to end,” said Burdette. “She’s a little nicer about how she puts her feet down and freer in how she flexes her hock when she’s on the move than the real similar cow in second.” Taking Reserve All American honors was Genesis Premier Vista, shown by Vierra Dairy Farms. “She uses her advantage in more overall capacity through her mammary system over the lovely, silky hided cow we have in third,” explained Burdette.

She’s square framed, strong, dairy, wide muzzled and chested and a cow that wears a beautiful mammary system.” These were just a few of the praises Judge Burdette sang Triple-T-Heath Getaway To Cancun-ET as she paraded the ring as the newly crowned All American Four-YearOld Cow. Owned by 2020 National Jersey Queen Natalie Berry and her sister, Mia, of Sherwood, Ore., “Cancun” also claimed the best udder award for the class and would go on to receive National Grand Champion honors.

ner, South Mountain Voltage Radiant-ET. She was exhibited by Misty Meadow Dairy. “In a close placing for us today, the cow we are going to start with, I give her that advantage in her framework,” said Burdette of his All American. “A cow when you view her from the rear, carries a little more width through her hooks and pins. She has a little higher fill, more spring and more natural openness to her rib than the lovely uddered cow in second.” Claiming Reserve All American FiveYear-Old and best udder honors was Krohlow Comerica Anna, exhibited by John Vosters and James J. Ostrom of Kaukauna, Wis. “She uses that advantage in that super udder, beautiful quality to her attachments over the strong, dairy cow in third,” said Burdette of “Anna” over DeMents Grayson Jinglebell, the third place animal for exhibitor DeMents Jerseys, Kenney, Ill.
Stoney Point Impression Blenda is the 2020 All American Cow Six Years and Older for owners Vierra Dairy Farms. She used her advantage in “spelling a little more milk” and her overall dairy quality and angularity to place her at the head of the class of eight individuals and receive the award for best udder. J-Kay Excitation Fuzzy placed second in the class for exhibitors Jim and Kay Morgan and Grant and Ann Cope of Urbana, Ohio. “She has a little more definition of seam and a little more fullness right to the top of the rear udder over the lovely framed cow coming in third,” said Burdette in his reasons of second over third. Placing third was IOF Marcus Action Fayna for Elise Carpenter, Russell Springs, Ky.

2020 Jersey Jug Dream Come True for Ratliffs
W
ith the tradition of being the oldest and richest exhibition of dairy cattle in the world, the 67th National Jersey Jug Futurity was no exception to this legacy. In a year of unknowns and unexpected circumstances, this event acted as a glimmer of hope and inspiration for many Jersey breeders. It had a sense of normalcy and was a chance to celebrate high-quality Jersey cattle as they paraded the green shavings. It is not often that a breeder has three bred and owned individuals in the final six line-up, much less two left standing for the crowning of the National Jersey Jug Futurity Champion. Ron and Christy Ratliff, Garnett, Kan., were able to experience this accomplishment during the 2020 event. In addition, they had one individual they purchased and developed place seventh. Ratliff Irwin Vancy-ET was selected as the 2020 National Jersey Jug Futurity Champion on November 8, 2020, in Freedom Hall by Judge Terri Packard, Boonsboro, Md., and her associate Richard Caverly, Benton, Maine. Not only did “Vancy” claim the champion title, she was also named best udder, best bred and owned and the first premier performance JANUARY 2021
individual in the class. She collected a cash prize of $2,020. “Vancy” had paraded the tanbark trail previously, having won the senior three-year-old class at the 2020 Southern National Fall Edition Show. She also placed 11th as a milking yearling at the 2018 All American Jersey Show.
Ratliff Ricochet Vegas followed as the Reserve Winner. Christy Ratliff led “Vegas” in the class and received a cash prize of $867. In fifth place, was Ratliff Irwin Vita-ET, a full sister to “Vancy.” With all three individuals tracing back to the famous Huronia Centurion Veronica (continued to page 44)
Ratliff Ricochet Vegas, also owned by Ron and Christy Ratliff, was named the Reserve Winner of the futurity. She was led by Christy Ratliff.

20J, Excellent-97%. The Ratliffs have had much success with developing this family in their Kansas herd. Many would call these results a monumental moment in any Jersey breeder’s career. One could not miss the pure delight on 2018 AJCA Master Breeder Christy’s face as the results were announced that afternoon in Louisville, Ky. Since its inception in 1954, the National Jersey Jug Futurity has seen more than 49,000 calves nominated, 3,883 have made their final payments as three-yearolds and competed for just over $500,000 in prize money to date. Each year, breeders across the nation select and nominate their calves for the event. An annual fee is then paid to retain that animal’s place in the competition. As three-year-old cows, the nominees travel to Louisville, Ky., to participate in what remains arguably the most glamorous show in the world. The Judges Terri Packard served as the official judge for the 2020 National Jersey Jug Futurity. She and her husband, Ernest Kueffner, operate South Mountain Jerseys and Kueffner Holsteins in Maryland. They breed, develop and market a select group of Holsteins, Jerseys and Brown Swiss that compete across North America and have exhibited Supreme Champions at various shows. While this was her first time judging Jerseys in Louisville, Packard has officiated state shows and state fairs in 10 states. In 2015, two Jerseys bred by Terri and Ernie were named Winner and Reserve Winner of the National Jersey Jug Futurity. In 2018, they exhibited another bred and owned individual to claim the National Jersey Jug Futurity Champion title, South Mountain Voltage Radiant-ET. “I would like to thank you—the exhibitors, my peers—for choosing me and giving me the opportunity to evaluate your cattle,” said Judge Packard. “It certainly has been an honor to be your official and stand here in the center of the ring.” Her associate judge and close friend, Richard Caverly, was born into the Ayrshire breed but gained a great appreciation for Jerseys. He and his wife, Beverly, are active in the dairy industry with Beverly being the owner of Deer Hill Ayrshires in Benton, Maine. Richard has worked for various farms such as Ferme Bovi-Lact, Shamrock Jerseys, Potwell Jerseys, and Arethusa Farm. It was also Caverly’s first time judging Page 44
on the green shavings in Louisville. He has previous experience judging numerous shows in New England, Ayrshires at the Maryland State Fair and Jersey and Ayrshire shows in Canada. The Pre-Show Ceremonies For the first time ever, as the lights dimmed in Freedom Hall, the spotlight did not initially shine upon the Jersey Jug outline in the center of the ring. Rather, it sparkled on the top six contestants vying for the 2020 National Jersey Queen title, each anxiously awaiting the results of the contest to be announced. These six young ladies, along with five others, had taken part in a rigorous competition the days prior. They took a test, went through a formal interview and displayed their public speaking and dairy industry knowledge. The top six finalists were Caroline Arrowsmith, Peach Bottom, Pa.; Natalie Berry, Sherwood, Ore.; Katarina Emerich, Mooers, N.Y.; Meghan Hettinga, Orange City, Iowa; Kylie Konyn, Escondido, Calif.; and Addison Raber, Gridley, Ill. As the crowd in attendance sat in anticipation, waiting for Master of Ceremonies Neal Smith, CEO and Executive Secretary of the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) and National All-Jersey Inc., to announce the Queen and her court, it was quiet in Freedom Hall. Moments later, 2019 National Jersey Queen Gracie Krahn, Albany, Ore., crowned lifelong friend, Natalie Berry, as the 2020 National Jersey Queen. The crowd erupted in cheers and applause as they celebrated the crowning of Queen Berry and her court, first alternate Kylie Konyn and second alternate Caroline Arrowsmith. Natalie wants to use her future career as a pediatric nurse to promote and encourage the consumption of real dairy products. A sophomore at Washington State University, Natalie is majoring in nursing with a minor in psychology. Over the years, Natalie has become well-known for her success in the show ring. A frequent exhibitor at the Oregon State Fair, Western National and All American Jersey Shows, Natalie has had multiple animals fair well in their respective classes and the championship selection. In fact, the day prior, her four-year-old cow was named Reserve National Junior Grand Champion of the All American Junior Jersey Show. A member of Class VI of Jersey Youth Academy, Natalie’s platform for her National Jersey Queen reign will center around encouraging college-age students to add dairy into their diets. “As a college student, I now understand the importance of having a well-balanced

nutritional diet while not trying to spend all of my money on groceries,” she said. “Jersey milk and other milk products have seven naturally occurring nutrients that help maintain a healthy body.” First Alternate Queen Kylie Konyn is a senior in high school at Saint Joseph Academy. She has been very involved in the California Junior Jersey Cattle Club and has purchased animals in the Pot O’Gold Sale during the All American events. Caroline Arrowsmith was selected as second alternate. A freshman at Pennsylvania State University majoring in animal science with a focus in dairy, Caroline attended Jersey Youth Academy in 2019. She also was the recipient of the 2020 William A. Russell Memorial Scholarship presented through the AJCA. With the theme of the “Roaring 20s,” the ringside stage was donned in red as the 2020 National Jersey Queen and her court sat in preparation of the National Jersey Jug Futurity. Overhead, a video featuring all the past winners of the event was playing. Eventually, the spotlight centered brightly on each of the 26 entries and their exhibitors as they were paraded and introduced in the arena. Honoring Our Nation Taking the center stage to sing the National Anthem during the National Jersey Jug Futurity was Melissa Hart of North Adams, Mich. Many will know her as an integral part of Dairy Agenda Today. Afterward, the 26 junior and senior three-year-olds entered the ring, the contenders from 752 nominations made in 2017. Each took their turn under the arena spotlight for a formal introduction by Executive Secretary Neal Smith. The Final Six Once the lights were bright, the crowd was able to take in the impressive group of cattle parading the ring.

closely, ensuring no angle go uninspected. The audience watched with anticipation as the judges began pulling animals into line and making their final decisions. Eventually, the competition came down to the top six: • Graybill Fireman Margarita, bred and owned by Ethan and Eli Graybill, Freeport, Ill., led by Ted DeMent, Kenney, Ill.; • Cowbell Dragon Reckless, bred and owned by Graham Rozler, Canton, N.Y., shown by Christine L.

Due to COVID-19 regulations and event restrictions, the annual “railbird competition” was not held for 2020. The Reasons With the final six centered in front of the stage, the crowd in Freedom Hall waited in anticipation as the judges made their final placings. With the results in hand, Master of Ceremonies Neal Smith began to announce the results in reverse order.
Starting with sixth and stopping at third, two cows were left standing—both bred and owned by Ron and Christy Ratliff, both phenomenal in their own right. As Judge Packard and Associate Judge Caverly walked towards them with the coveted purple blanket, they made the ultimate decision and crowned “Vancy” the 2020 National Jersey Jug Futurity Champion. “These two are a very close pair,” said Judge Packard. “Our winning cow, for me, just has so much breed character. She has a beautiful head and neck, so much width through the chest when you get in front of her and I really appreciate the length of body that she has.” “She has an advantage today in height and width of rear udder. We prefer the curvation and shape to her mammary system when you view her from the side over our second place cow,” explained Packard. Packard went on to describe “Vegas” as a beautiful dairy, high-style cow and complimented her width of rear udder and veination throughout her mammary system. “It’s her advantage in quality to the mammary system, definition of median suspensory ligament and more fullness and width of rear udder that takes her over our third-place cow,” described Packard. Cowbell Dragon Reckless walked out in third place. “A very well-balanced cow coming out here in third,” said Packard of “Reckless.” “She’s dairy over the head and neck, clean over the rib. She’s harder over her topline than our fourth place cow, I prefer the front teat placement and the set to her leg over the big framed cow coming out here in fourth.” Packard continued her reasons as Elliotts Fizz Charade-ET took her place in line, “You really have to admire the size, scale and width of the fourth place cow. She’s just not as dairy as the top three cows today. She does have the advantage in the length of her neck and openness today. The shape of her teats I prefer over the fifth place cow.” Rounding out the top six were Ratliff Irwin Vita-ET and Graybill Fireman Margarita in fifth and sixth places, respectively. When describing “Vita,” Packard said, “Another big, strong cow that shows so

much width and strength moving out here in fifth. She just has more maturity, more capacity and is more open in her rib structure today than our sixth place cow.” “We really admire this cow. She is the youngest in the class,” said Packard of “Margarita.” “I think that is probably her biggest fault today. She really has no holes, she just needs time to mature and mass out to place higher.” The Awards Each year, the Jersey Jug Futurity is the richest purse in an individual dairy class.

Natalie Berry Crowned National Jersey Queen Natalie Berry, Sherwood, Ore., was crowned the 63rd National Jersey Queen on November 8, 2020, at the start of the National Jersey Jug Futurity. Natalie was presented the Charlene Nardone Crown by 2019 National Jersey Queen Gracie Krahn. Natalie is a sophomore at Washington State University studying nursing and minoring in psychology. Her goal is to become a pediatric nurse where she can advocate for the dairy industry to children and their families about the importance of inBerry cluding dairy in their diets. This plays into her platform of “choosing Jersey milk products and other milk products to have a well-balanced diet.” “Being a college student, I now understand the importance of having a wellbalanced nutritional diet while trying not to spend all of my money on groceries.
Her herd, Aspire Jerseys, is enrolled on REAP and utilizes many programs provided by the AJCA. Kylie is active in 4-H and has held nearly every office available. She is currently serving as president of the California Junior Jersey Cattle Association. She was the 2019 Western National Jersey Queen and California Jersey Queen. Caroline Arrowsmith, Peach Bottom, Pa., was named second alternate. She is a freshman at Penn State University majoring in animal science with a focus on dairy. She is a member of the Pennsylvania Jersey Cattle Association and the Penn State Dairy Science Club. She has held many leadership positions through the Lancaster County dairy 4-H program. She enjoys showing her Registered Jerseys at the local, state and national levels. She was a member of Class VI of Jersey Youth Academy. The Queen and her court presented awards for the National Jersey Jug Futurity and The 68th All American Jersey Show, plus assisted with the clerking of The All American Jersey Sale. The Charlene Nardone National Jersey Queen Fund provided scholarships of $500, $300 and $200 to the three finalists. For more information, follow the National Jersey Queen program on Facebook @USJerseyQueen.
Jersey milk and other milk products have seven (7) naturally occurring nutrients that help to maintain a healthy body. College is a time of discovering yourself and where you would like your life to lead. Students tend to be influenced by those around them and this gives me a large audience to educate about the importance that Jersey and dairy products can have on someone’s everyday life.” Natalie is currently serving as the 2020 Western National Queen and is the Western National Youth Achievement Award recipient. She was a member of Class VI of Jersey Youth Academy. During the All American Junior Jersey Show on November 7, Natalie exhibited the Reserve Grand Champion—Triple-THeath Getaway to Cancun-ET. On Monday, November 9, “Cancun” was named National Grand Champion for Berry and her sister, Mia. She went on to be named Reserve Supreme Champion of the North American International Livestock Exposition. Kylie Konyn, Escondido, Calif., was named first alternate.

JERSEY JOURNAL
Greiwe Honored with Max Gordon Award Donna Greiwe, Sidney, Ohio, has been named the 18th winner of the Max Gordon Recognition Award. She was honored at a ceremony held during the National Jersey Jug Futurity in Louisville, Ky., on November 8, 2020. The Max Gordon Recognition Award is given annually to an exhibitor who possesses the five key elements for which the award’s namesake stood: sportsmanship, ethics, professionalism, ability, and promotion of the Jersey cow. Recipients are chosen by a committee of individuals who have previously received the Max Gordon Recognition Award. “Donna is continuing a heritage that set roots long before her birth: breeding the kind of cattle that win in the showring,” noted W. Phil Gordon, Syracuse, Ind., son of the late Max Gordon. “Cattle bred by Donna have earned blue ribbons and purple banners not just for family, but for others who purchased cattle from the family too.” Donna is following in the footsteps of her father, the late Kenneth E. Knoop, grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-great grandfather, Samuel Knoop, who began breeding Registered Jerseys in the early 1900s. Today, Donna and her husband, John, and their family operate Mill Valley Farms in Sidney. The prefixes DKG (Donna K. Greiwe) and KEK (Kenneth E. Knoop) are used for homebred animals. If one were to look deep in the pedigrees of the herd at Mill Valley Farms, one would find bulls bred by Max Gordon himself. When Donna was a child, she and her father made a trek to the Gordon farm in Indiana every 2-3 years to purchase herd bulls. This was not a one-way street, though, as the Gordon family also purchased males and females from the Knoops. Among these was Jims & Brampton Jester Maggie, a beauty Max Gordon first saw while judging a county fair. He purchased her for Heaven Hill Farm of Lake Placid, N.Y. She was Reserve National Grand Champion of the Waterloo National Cattle Congress in 1965 and earned the same laurels at The All American Jersey Show the following year. As significant, she is dam of five-time National Grand Champion Bull, Brownys Masterman Jester, bred by Knoop and sold in-dam to Heaven Hill. Bulls bred by Donna can also be found in the pedigrees of show-winning females, including two-time National Grand Champion, Bolle-Acres MJ Willie JANUARY 2021

May, Excellent-95%, sired by DKG Juno Major, and a slew of females shown by family over the years. It is no surprise that this woman, described as “determined” by her closest friends, would have such success in the show ring. Though she has been the face of Mill Valley Farms in the show ring for many years, she is now lead cheerleader for her grandchildren. Over the years, Donna and her family have bred more than three dozen All American, Reserve All American, Junior All American or Reserve Junior All American honorees. In the past 10 years, they bred a National Junior Champion and a National Reserve Junior Champion and four Junior or Reserve Junior Champions of the junior show in Louisville. Four generations of the family have also earned honors in showmanship at The All American, including three of Donna’s grandchildren, who won their respective classes at the junior show. Mill Valley Farms regularly consigns to leading Jersey sales as well. Several animals consigned to the Kentucky National Sale have earned purple banners at the show held in conjunction with the sale. Donna has judged shows as well. Most recently, she was the official for Ayrshires, Guernseys and Jerseys for the 4-H and FFA shows held at the 2020 Kentucky State Fair. She is a former director of the Ohio Jersey Breeders Association, which presented her and John with the Ohio Pioneer Service Award in 2005. The couple was inducted into the Ohio State Fair Hall of Fame in 2015, in part for exhibiting cattle at the fair for more than five decades and their help in maintaining and operating the milking parlor. Previous winners of the Max Gordon Recognition Award include: Steve Bachelor, Angola, Ind. (2019); Kevin Williams, McConnelsville, Ohio (2018); Greg Bourne, Ansonia, Ohio (2017); Roger Riebe, Cumberland, Wis. (2016);
Steve White, New Castle, Ind. (2015); Jeff and Alta Mae Core, Salvisa, Ky. (2014); Gene “Bambi” Henderson, Manchester, Iowa (2013); Norman Nabholz, West Union, Iowa (2012); George Barlass, Janesville, Wis. (2011), Jim VanBuskirk, Mich. (2010); Brian Sayles, Ont. (2009); Mike Stiles, Va. (2008); the late Harry Mykrantz, Ohio (2007); Ronnie Rider, Ky. (2006); Chuck Myers, Ohio (2005); Charles Luchsinger, N.Y. (2004); and Ron Mosser, Ind. (2003). Page 55

2020—Challenges Led to Much Success
or Erin Leach, Linwood, Kan., her final year as a Jersey junior will be one to remember. The 21-year-old and her cow, LC Success Abilene, ended the year with a bang. With the year being the challenge it was for events, the green shavings in Freedom Hall were a therapeutic sight for many during the first week of November. “2020 hasn’t been the greatest year for a lot of things, especially having cow shows” said Judge Joe Sparrow, Worthville, Ky., during his Grand Champion reasons. “There have been some pop-up shows that
have been a great thing. I am sure proud that in my home state some folks figured out a way to hold a cow show. Let’s give a great big round of applause to everyone that made this show happen.” As the crowd waited patiently, Sparrow asked his consultant, Jared Major of Lebanon, Tenn., to walk out and shake the hands of his champions. Erin Leach broke into a huge smile as Major congratulated her and “Abilene” as the Junior National Grand Champion. He then turned to Natalie Berry of Sherwood, Ore., and congratulated her and Triple-T-Heath Getaway to

In addition to being named Champion, “Abilene” also won the Premier Performance class and was named Best Bred and Owned of the show. “These two cows came from the toughest class we placed all day and it was an incredibly close placing,” said Sparrow. “There really is no splitting them up to (continued to page 58)

day.” “Abilene” and Leach received a $500 cash award from NAILE. The AJCA matched the NAILE award, making the total cash award $1,000. Berry and “Cancun” received the Legendairy Farms Trophy for Reserve Grand Champion. Sparrow was tasked with placing the 186 Registered Jerseys shown in the junior show. Kentucky born and raised, he and his family milk registered Brown Swiss cattle at Fairdale Farms LLC. He is a dairy nutritionist with CPC Commodities. He and his family have bred more than a dozen All-American nominations in the Brown Swiss breed including the Intermediate Champion of the 2012 International Brown Swiss Show in Madison,
Wis. He was on Virginia Tech’s high team and placed second in the National Intercollegiate Dairy Cattle Judging Contest in 2006. “I want to thank the parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles or whoever it is that pitches in to allow these youngsters to come out and show these cows,” said Sparrow. “It is hard on the kids, but it’s also hard on the parents. It takes a lot of effort and a lot of money, but it can be so gratifying. This is just an incredible group of kids out here today.” Jared Major was the consultant for the show. He, his wife Summer and their two children own and operate a 240-cow dairy consisting of Holsteins, Brown Swiss and Jerseys. Major Dairy has been the Premier Breeder at the Tennessee State Holstein Show eight out of the past nine years and Premier Exhibitor seven of those years.

She has been out here probably 45 minutes combined and we still haven’t found one.” As Rick Heslinga, Norwalk, Wis., led Smokin Hot Joel Lapage to the middle of the ring, Judge Sparrow continued his reasons. “She uses her advantage in maturity, a little higher wider rear udder and more width through her chest floor to place over the junior two-year-old,” said Sparrow. “She is just a beautiful silky clean-cut cow that is sharp as a nail.” The recipient of the Yosemite Jersey Dairy Trophy for Intermediate Champion was “Lapage” and Stoney Point Fireman Etsy-ET took home the Albright Jerseys Reserve Intermediate Champion trophy.

“Only six entries here in our senior three-year-old class,” said Judge Sparrow. “And they are six totally different types of cows. We are starting with the cow with the least amount of faults today.” Kilgus Blaze Mona and Carla Kilgus took top honors. She was also named best udder, best bred and owned in the class and the premier performance class winner. It was her balance in the four quarters that took her over the Reserve Junior All American, OBJ Applejack Julep, bred and owned by Jayme Ozburn. Following in third was Hillacres Hilton Fleur, exhibited by Caroline Arrowsmith, Peach Bottom, Pa. Senior 3-yr.-old cow (6 shown) Sponsored by Wisconsin Junior Jersey Breeders Association 1.

“Okay photo junkies, tune in for this class of four-year-olds,” encouraged Judge Sparrow. “This is just the type of class I hoped I would get to judge today. An incredible group of cows.” Judge Sparrow’s eventual Grand and Reserve Grand Champions would come from this class— “Abilene” and “Cancun.” In an “extremely” close placing, “Abilene” edged out “Cancun” to take home the Junior All American Four-Yearold honors for her owner Erin Leach. “When they came in, I thought this black cow wasn’t going to get picked as the side profile on our second cow just blows you away,” explained Judge Sparrow. “But when you get in close on these two cows I prefer the rear teat placement and strength through the front end on this first cow.” “Cancun,” shown by Natalie Berry, placed over the third place cow based on her balance and strength throughout. Finishing third was Maker Chavez Chirp owned by Carla Kilgus.

“Well, I guess this entry in the fiveyear-old class scared away the rest of the competition,” said Judge Sparrow. “She is a really nice, well-balanced cow with a beautiful mammary system. It is a shame she doesn’t have some competition out here, because she could handle it.” Meadowridge Kasanova Sara was named Junior All American Five-Year-Old cow for Alleah Anderson. 5-yr.-old cow (1 shown) 1.

“We are starting the class with a really logical winner,” said Sparrow of his class of four aged cows. “This cow just spells dairyness. She is so clean cut and angular and she is the best uddered cow in the class.” Winning the class was Spatz Premier Felecia, exhibited by Lauren Starr of Tulare, Calif. Finishing second was Carla Kilgus with Kilgus Rocketman Lea. She was followed by IOF Marcus Action Fayna, owned and exhibited by Elise Carpenter, Russell Springs, Ky. Aged cow (4 shown) 1.

The Heifers Heart & Soul Fizz Fine Wine-ET continued her winning streak as she topped the class of 19 junior calves. She was also named best bred and owned for her owner Matthew Boop, Millmont, Pa. “Everyone loves to have a pretty handy winner in a class and today we have just that with this black calf,” said Sparrow. “She is just an extreme silky, clean-cut, angular calf with a giraffe neck. You just love the extension she has through her neck.” It was her extreme dairyness that carried her over “the special heifer” in second. Stars Venetian Sassy, owned by Reese Burdette, Mercersburg, Pa., took home the Reserve Junior All American honors. “It is rare to talk about a Jersey spring calf having dairy strength,” said Sparrow. “But I think that is what our second place calf has. She uses that horsepower up through the front end to place over a real clean cut angular calf in third.” JERSEY JOURNAL

Twenty-one calves competed for the honor of Junior All American Intermediate Calf. Taking top honors was Meadowridge Andreas Huckleberry for owner Alleah Anderson. “Our first place calf is just a little more balanced throughout than our second calf,” said Judge Sparrow. “She is smoother on the move and holds that tail head down a little nicer.” Following in second was SSF Colton Lorelia shown by Lauren Starr. Shelby Rader, Conneaut Lake, Pa., finished in third with her mid-January calf, HC-Rader Gentry Saba. Intermediate heifer calf (21 shown) 1. Meadowridge Andreas Huckleberry, Alleah Anderson; 2.

Fifteen junior yearling heifers contended for All American honors. “This was perhaps the toughest class we judged today,” said Judge Sparrow. “We have two very different animals here at the top. In first place we have a steamroller with lots of power. In second is the silk machine with her extreme dairyness and silkiness.” Placing first and going on to be named the Reserve Junior Champion was LC Barnabas Annie for Sophie Leach, Linwood, Kan.

Kozaks Host Fourth Clover Patch Cornucopia Sale
The fourth edition of the Clover Patch Cornucopia sale was held at the farm in Millersburg, Ohio, on October 24, 2020. In all, 217 lots of Registered Jerseys sold for an average of $1,059.77 and a median of $1,200. Herd owners Alan and Sharon Kozak proved one can develop a thriving market for Jersey genetics with sound management and by breeding the kind of cow other dairy producers want—a healthy, growthy animal backed by generations of bulls that sire high-producing daughters with shallow udders, animals that will thrive in both pasture and commercial setups. Another bonus, the entire herd is genotyped and tested for the beta casein gene. Having been bred for the gene for several years, many members of the herd now test A2/A2. Sale Analysis

Rock River Jerseys, Inwood, Iowa, purchased 58 lots for $59,475. The Kozak’s journey to a comprehensive herd health program began with tragedy— an outbreak of Johne’s disease in the spring of 1992. They won the war by adopting strict protocol for vaccinations and sanitation. The herd has received 10 clean culture tests since 2008 and today is the largest herd in Ohio to test negative on a whole-herd basis. Today, their program includes treatments from birth through calving to prevent scours, pneumonia and other respiratory diseases, mastitis, Brucellosis, Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis, and blackleg, among others. Other practices include treatments to prevent worms and pinkeye and regular hoof trimming, both before freshening and during the dry period. The Clover Patch herd is seasonally calved, primarily from February through June and October through November. Cows are on pasture when forages are available and trained to be managed with a one-wire electric fence, headlocks and freestalls. Extensive internal growth has come from the use of sexed semen. Over the past 10 years, the Kozaks have sold more than 1,000 surplus animals, with production sales in 2013, 2016 and 2019. As with previous sales, this year’s event was held because herd size was well on its way to surpassing capacity. Sales $1,500 and Over

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 xx 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 and Jersey Neuropathy with Splayed Forelimbs (JNS), 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 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 costly diseases of dairy cattle; Metritis (0.2%) Infection of the endometrium (lining of the uterus) after calving; and Retained placenta (0.1%) Retention of fetal membranes more than 24 hours after calving. Combined as the Health Trait Index (HTI), it is reported as JPITM points like JUITM and represents 4.6% of JPI2020.
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 programs. 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; • NAME OF BULL

G-Code Bulls Marketed by A.I. Organizations, December 2020 The highest-ranking bulls with the NAAB status code G from the official single-breed “S” genetic evaluations released by the Council on Dairy Cattle Breeding (CDCB) for December 2020 are listed below. Status code G designates genomic tested and marketed bulls that have fewer than 10 daughters with usable records as of the evaluation date. The cut-off for this list is a Jersey Performance IndexTM of 119. Bulls are listed 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. NAME OF BULL
NAAB member organizations assigned G-code status to 375 Jersey bulls for this release. These bulls average +386M, +36F, +26P, CM$ +367 and NM$ +343. For the entire list of bulls with complete evaluations for yield, fitness and type traits, refer to the Jersey Genetic Summary (Vol. 25, No. 3, online at http://greenbook.usjersey.com). Three-generation AJCA Official Performance Pedigrees are included on the Green Book website. Official evaluations for bulls combining genomic and progeny test information are released after a minimum of 10 daughters have production (PTA protein) evaluations.

CDCB Health Traits for G-Code Bulls, Single Evaluation
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 costly diseases of dairy cattle; Metritis (0.2%) Infection of the endometrium (lining of the uterus) after calving; and Retained placenta (0.1%) Retention of fetal membranes more than 24 hours after calving. Combined as the Health Trait Index (HTI), it is reported as JPITM points like JUITM and represents 4.6% of JPI2020.
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 help build resistance against displaced abomasum, milk fever, ketosis, mastitis, metritis and retained placenta. PTAs for each of the health traits will be 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 programs. The traits and their weights in JPI2020 are: Milk Fever or Hypocalcemia (1.0%) Typically results after calving due to low total NAME OF BULL

The American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) has released additional information about the new undesirable genetic factor, Jersey Neuropathy Splayed Forelimbs (JNS). As well, tools are now available to help Jersey breeders eliminate the genetic defect or better manage its potential economic impact. We have learned that JNS is attributable to a specific haplotype on Bos taurus autosome 6 (BTA6) and includes approximately 100 SNPs. Dairy geneticists believe a mutation in a gene named UCHL1 (Ubiquitin C-Terminal Hydrolase L1) is responsible for symptoms. The condition was confirmed in the fall of 2020 and added to the AJCA Policy Regarding Undesirable Genetic Factors upon approval of the Board of Directors in November 2020. In this month’s Jersey Jargon, we will explain how Jersey breeders can limit carrier-to-carrier matings, manage potential calf losses and become better informed about the genetic defect. Determining an Animal’s JNS Status JNS is detected by evaluating an animal’s genetic evaluation. Official status as JNS Carrier (JNSC)—versus JNS Free (JNSF) —is determined through one of three means: (1) By direct observation of the UCLH1 missense variant on BTA6 in the genotype, (2) By direct observation of the haplotype, including the UCLH1 missense variant on the BTA6 autosome, (3) By imputation through evaluation of genomic results of the animal and family members if the variant is contained in the JNS haplotype of other genotyped animals and reassessed as additional information is obtained from genomic analyses.
Page 92
Impact of JNS Through evaluation of 1.5 million genotyped dairy cattle (500,000 Jerseys), it is estimated that 6% of the Jersey population are JNS Carriers. Thus 94% are JNS Free. Thus far, the haplotype has not been detected in other breeds and geneticists believe it was not introduced to the Jersey breed from another population. The AJCA expects this frequency to increase, though, in the coming year as progeny of several heavily used carrier sires are born. To display symptoms, an affect calf needs to inherit the defective JNS haplotype from both sire and dam. Matings of JNS carriers (carrier sire and carrier dam, for example), will yield offspring that are 25% normal non-carriers, 50% heterozygous carriers, and 25% affected animals. Tools to Manage JNS The best way to manage JNS is with knowledge of an animal’s genetic makeup and pedigree. With it, Jersey breeders can avoid carrier-to-carrier matings or better manage matings to carrier sires and dams. Beginning in January 2021, both JNSC and JNSF status will be reported for new genotyped bulls and females. As well, this status will be identified on official performance pedigrees and progeny reports. Jersey breeders can also find JNS status on Registered Jersey bulls in the December 2020 Green Book. JNS status is identified in the list of all summarized bulls and marketed bulls. As well, JNS status can be found in the free, online sire selection tool, BullsEye. With this tool, Jersey breeders can also create a list of bulls that are JNS Free. Another means of managing JNS is through JerseyMate, which eliminates matings of designated JNS Carrier bulls to designated JNS Carrier females. High-risk matings are not likely because JerseyMate accounts for the economic impact of potential matings, using $150 as a loss for a calf with JNS. Background The journey to uncover the root of JNS
is a testimony to the value of genotyping and work of a team of Jersey breeders who initially reported a condition out of the ordinary, veterinarians and pathologists, geneticists at the USDA Animal Genomics Improvement Laboratory, the Cooperative Dairy DNA Repository, the Council on Dairy Cattle Breeding and the AJCA. The case study included 11 reported and documented calves affected with JNS. Parentage of all calves was confirmed through genotyping. Outside one dam sired by a herd bull, all sires and dams were genotyped. The animals were sired by six different sires and five different maternal grandsires. All trace 3-7 generations back to a single foundation cow born in 1985. Both her sire and maternal grandsire are JNS Free. At this point, it cannot be determined if this is an original mutation. Further Information A complete description of the condition can be found on pages 12-13 of the Green Book. The online Green Book can be viewed at https://greenbook.usjersey.com. The document is also available at https:// www.usjersey.com/Portals/0/AJCA/2_ Docs/Policy/Policies_Undesirable_ Genetic_Factors_rev1120.pdf and on page 25 of the December 2020 issue of the Jersey Journal. A webinar with more in-depth information on JNS can be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8te qsIUFc8&feature=youtu.be. Included in the webinar is video footage that clearly shows mobility of calves affected with JNS. If you have additional questions about JNS, contact Cari Wolfe, Director of Research and Genetic Program Development, by email at cwolfe@ usjersey.com or phone at 614/322-4453.

In Memoriam Billy Joe “B. J.” Shepherd Billy Joe “B. J.” Shepherd, Bridgeport, Texas, 95, passed away on November 17, 2020. He was born on June 17, 1925, in Tulia, Texas, to the late Cas and Bettie (Sanders) Shepherd. He proudly served in the Navy during World War II as a seaman first class aboard the naval destroyer USS Picking DD-685. In 1939, he was given a Registered Jersey bull under a Texas Jersey Cattle Club promotional program at the Fort Worth show. The next year, he brought the bull to the show and won the class, thus beginning a lifelong career devoted to Jersey cattle. Several foundation cow families were imported from the Isle of Jersey. Shepherd purchased the farm near Bridgeport in 1949 with an FHA loan and a dollar down. He grew the farm to 320 acres and 200 head of Jerseys and rented an additional 600 acres. Shepherd also owned racehorses and dabbled in the oil and gas industries. He was well known in the show ring as both judge and exhibitor. He attended his first All American Jersey Show in
JANUARY 2021
1964 and exhibited every year for more than two decades. Among the standouts were Imperial Sleeper, Winner of the 1967 National Jersey Bull Futurity and Grand Champion Bull of the 1968 All American Jersey Show, and M.P.M. Polly, 1978 Reserve All American Three-YearOld. Shephard won the Lynn Gower Showmanship Award in 1969 and Premier Exhibitor in 1979. Shepherd judged the All American Junior Jersey Show in 1976 and 1979 and the National Jersey Jug Futurity in 1980. He was associate for the Futurity in 1974. Many of Shepherd’s prize-winning females were also standouts for production. Firstcrest Beacon Missie was named Grand Champion at every major show in Texas and had lifetime credits of more than 200,000 lbs. milk in the early 1970s. Shepherd Jersey Farm regularly consigned to leading sales, including the All American Jersey Sale, the National Heifer Sale, the Kentucky National Sale and the Texas Bluebonnet Sale. Q. Joy Game, Excellent-93%, was the high selling Jersey female at public auction in 1979 and the previously mentioned “Polly” was the high selling cow of the All American Jersey Sale the following year.
Shepherd served as Director of the American Jersey Cattle Club from 19821985 and was director and officer of the Texas Cattle Club for more than 20 years. He also belonged to Associated Milk Producers Inc. He was a member of the Wise County Veterans Group and Oak Tree Baptist Church of Poolville. B. J. took pride in helping to build the Veterans Park in Decatur and was a member of Roll Call. Shepherd is survived by his son, Joe Michael (Earlene) Shepherd; stepdaughter, Kellie (Terry) Ross; brother Guy Shepherd; sister, Hazel Rhoades; four grandchildren; and seven greatgrandchildren. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a stepson, Gary Womack, and brothers, W.J. “Jack” Shepherd, Kenneth Shepherd and Don Shepherd.
