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.

Joe Lyon Featured in Iowa State Fair Butter Sculpture
The Jersey breed lost one of its leading patriarchs in January, but Sarah Pratt and the Iowa State Fair have brought him back to life, in butter form. Joe Lyon, who passed away in January 2021, was a prominent figure in the dairy industry. He received both the Distinguished Service and Master Breeder awards from the national Jersey organizations and is a former president of the American Jersey Cattle Club and National All-Jersey Inc. His late wife, Norma “Duffy” Lyon, gained worldwide fame for sculpting the
state fair’s butter cow for 46 years. This year, however, it is Joe who is featured.
Ohio State Fair Sale Breaks Records
A record $394,500 was raised from the 52nd Sale of Champions livestock auction at the Ohio State Fair, thanks to the generosity of agriculture advocates. From this amount, $306,000 will be set aside for youth who participate in the fair. Among the other sale records broken was that for the Grand Champion Swiss Cheese, which is a representation of the seven dairy breed champions and two supreme champion showpersons. Produced by Pearl Valley Cheese, Fresno, Ohio, the cheese sold for $33,000 to AG Boogher and Son Inc., Wapakoneta, Ohio, S&S Volvo, Lima, Ohio, and Turn-er Green LLC, Waynesfield, Ohio.
Young’s Jersey Dairy Opens New Dairy Barn
Young’s Jersey Dairy opened their new dairy store on August 26, 2021, replacing the previous store only a couple hundred feet away. The new store has more than double the space, including more indoor and outdoor seating, larger restrooms, and a patio with engraved bricks. The current store will be replaced with a parking lot by the end of September. The new store features the opportunity for guests to view the ice cream and cheese making process and also accommodates more customers than before. Young’s Jersey Dairy is a perennial tour stop for Jersey Youth Academy. It is also a popular stop for familes. Among Ohio’s top destinations, it is visited by 1,200,000 people every year.
JERSEY JOURNAL
The Correct Action is to Report
While all cattle breeds have genetic defects, most are rare and inherited in a recessive manner so that the condition is seen only if a calf inherits the gene from both parents. Two gross physical deformities with lethal consequences in Jersey cattle were documented and declared genetic abnormalities by the American Jersey Cattle Club in the 1970s—Limber Legs (LL) and Rectovaginal Constriction (RVC). In November 2020, a new undesirable genetic factor, Jersey Neuropathy with Splayed Forelimbs (JNS), was identified by the AJCA Board of Directors. If LL and RVC are new words to you, there’s good reason. Both abnormalities were brought under control in the early to mid 80s through a program of reporting affected animals, expert veterinary examination and pedigree documentation, followed by Board designation and labeling of carrier animals. JNS is beginning a similar process with an important additional tool of genotyping. It has identified the genetic variant responsible for JNS. Genotyped animals have carrier (JNSC) and test free (JNSF) status clearly labeled on pedigrees. Sound herd management practices that consider the risk of JNS should provide the means to minimize its impact. Why bring this up? Because unrecognized or ignored—for whatever reason—abnormalities that prove to be genetic in origin can wreak havoc on and devastate the finances of owners, as most famously happened to North American Herefords because of dwarfism. The lesson of Professor L.P. McCann’s story, The Battle of Bull Runts, is this. Any time, every time an abnormal animal is born, or an abnormality develops in an animal—no matter what one suspects the cause to be—the only correct action to take is to report it to the breed association. There are three important ingredients in controlling genetic abnormalities: reporting, labeling carriers, and making this information available to the people making breeding decisions. Accordingly, the American Jersey Cattle Association adopted in 1983 the Policies Regarding Undesirable Genetic Factors, although its procedures were defined many years prior with the first reports of Limber Legs. It is built upon the foundations of documentation, scientific research, due diligence and openness. • It is “the responsibility and obligation of each member of the Association and each breeder of Jersey cattle to report any known case of an abnormal Jersey animal.” • The association maintains a recording system to monitor abnormalities in Jersey cattle and, based upon expert SEPTEMBER 2021
scientific advice, has defined procedures to determine if the source of an abnormality is genetic as opposed to being the result of environment or an infectious agent. • It is “unethical practice to offer for sale an animal, male or female, an embryo or semen from an animal that has been designated a carrier of an undesirable genetic factor without first informing the prospective buyer of this fact.”
The policy has served this breed well in the past and will do so again if it ever becomes necessary, “but only to the degree that all cooperate in the acceptance and enforcement of this policy.” Effectiveness of the AJCA’s abnormality program depends almost entirely upon reporting—reporting to the Association, reporting through the communication channel defined by policy, reporting at first observation, reporting in full detail. The incidence of an abnormal condition—by definition—is low. It’s out of one’s daily experience. The possibilities for an affected animal to not be found, much less reported, are endless. If one of them died as a calf, or was killed by lightning, or was culled because she didn’t settle to the pasture bull ... you see how easy it would be to miss an affected animal. Forty years ago, we talked about “the eye of the master.” Most milked their own cows most days of the week. Today, more are managing labor than being labor, herds are larger and heifer raising may be done at some distance from the milking herd. Seeing and reporting is in the hands of others who may not have the same personal investment you do. Without being vigilant, and training employees to be equally attentive, a costly, perhaps even lethal abnormality can be perpetuated at the expense of all. The question always arises, “What do I report?” It’s simple. If it’s out of the ordinary in your experience, pick up a phone and dial 614/861-3636. Time does matter and nothing can happen without a complete report received in the Association office. “Complete” starts with identification of the animal and its parents. Take a Tissue Sampling Unit (TSU), or pull hair, as you would for genotyping, and store it in a baggie clearly labeled with the animal identification. Take pictures and videos. Document the details on the Report Form for Abnormalities and get it to the Association office. It is online at http://bit.do/ AbnormalityPolicy, or we will send it to you. It doesn’t matter what you see. It matters that you report it, if it doesn’t look right. Page 17
Jersey Cattle: Creating Memories to Last a Lifetime Colin Wussow, Cecil, Wisconsin It does not seem that long ago my family and I were sitting in the stands at The All American Jersey Show watching our family’s career in the Jersey breed take off. Our crooked-nosed heifer, “Natalie,” was named Reserve Junior Champion that year. I remember being a young kid and raising other dairy breeds until I found the niche with Jerseys. After that, my drive, love, and passion for the Jersey breed ignited. With that, a lifetime of memories. I am blessed to be named the 2020 National Jersey Youth Achievement Contest Winner. I have exhibited at the local, state, and national shows with my Jerseys. These shows have allowed me the opportunity to meet numerous influential individuals that have helped shape me into the person that I have become. Along with the shows, I have participated in the Pot O’Gold Sale, All American Sale, and Wisconsin State Sale. One of my favorite memories was walking our homebred cow, “Naomi,” into the middle of the ring at the 2019 World Dairy Expo as she was honored with the Wisconsin Cow of the Year award. She has been one of my favorite cows to work with over the years and is pictured with me on the cover of the Jersey Journal. Another fond memory I have is attending Jersey Youth Academy. Being able to meet people from around the United States to learn about how their operations are run has given me insights into the future for our family’s business. We also had the opportunity to listen and visit with dairy industry professionals to get further knowledge of the industry and possibilities available. These accolades sure have created some fond memories. However, I would not be where I am today without the help from other people within the industry. I would like to give special thanks to Rodney Hodgson, Walter and Joyce Owens, Lloyd Heinz, Trent Styczynski, Jon and Katie Holewinski, Ross and Amber Fischer and family, and the Steve and Jill Tauchen family for all their support throughout the years. I truly appreciate the support of the Wisconsin Jersey Breeders Association and the AJCA staff for the opportunities they provide. Members of the AJCA staff, past and present, have always prioritized youth and created great activities and opportunities for us. Now for my family who has been there through the good and bad. First thank you to my grandparents for all their help over the years from bringing last minute Page 18
supplies, to cheering me on, and being my taxi to get me to all these events. I would like to thank Kaila and Joey for always pushing me to do my best and Kaila for being my partner in the show endeavors. I am excited to see where my niece Amelia goes as she continues in the Jersey family. Lastly, I would like to thank my parents. They have been my rock. They have supported me through everything, and words cannot describe how thankful I am for them. I am truly blessed with such supportive families. All of us working together makes memories to cherish forever. As I turn the chapter as a Jersey youth, I look forward to helping others make memories with the Jersey breed. I have been able to create great relationships with dairy industry professionals, developed connections with AJCA and NAJ staff, and met Jersey breeders who have turned into lifelong friends. You will never regret the connections that you can make and the knowledge you gain. Apply for the Jersey Youth Academy because that is an amazing experience as well. Step outside of your comfort zone. While my Jersey youth chapter may be closing, I look forward to entering a new one after graduation. But I will always remember and cherish my Jersey memories!

Juniors Recognized for Production Achievements
uniors from Missouri and New York have earned the top prizes in this year’s national Jersey youth production contests sponsored by the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA). Maelee Clark, Seneca, Mo., has won the 2020 National Jersey Youth Production Contest with SLJ AJ Weijah. Chelsie Fuller, Newark Valley, N.Y., has topped the 2021 Pot O’Gold Production Contest with Rog-Al Casino Pippa. The 35 other juniors who placed in either production contest will be recognized for their achievements on November 7, 2021, at the Junior Banquet, which wraps up junior events at The All American in Louisville, Ky. Juniors from 16 states across the country earned prizes in the two contests. Youth from the states of Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, and Oregon accounted for the most prizes, with five each. Juniors from Indiana earned four prizes. The 20 winners in the National Jersey Youth Production Contest will be given plaques and cash awards made possible, in part, by Jersey breeders who consign animals to the National Heifer Sale. Each year, 10% of the proceeds from this sale are designated for youth program support, including the National Jersey Youth Pro-

Sadly, she left the herd after her second test. She has two daughters to continue her legacy at Mapleline Farm, the farm owned and operated by Jack’s grandfather, John Kokoski, and the rest of the family. Jack purchased “Tiramisu” from River Valley Farm, Tremont, Ill., at the Pot O’Gold Sale in 2017. Another entry to return to the top rankings this year, Freeman-Holtz Hired Gun JERSEY JOURNAL

She left the herd shortly after she freshened with her sixth calf but leaves behind three registered daughters from which Mary can develop her herd. Austin Dizek, Hadley, Mass., ranks fourth in Division II with JX Gure Behia Leonel 12788 {4}. Like his cousin, Jack Zina, he purchased his entry in the 2017 Pot O’Gold Sale and manages her with the herd at Mapleline Farm. Sired by JX Faria Brothers Leonel {3}-ET, GJPI +45M, she produced a record of 3-4 305 22,740 5.7% 1,300 3.9% 880 98DCR. The m.e. of the record is 23,743–1,355–923 and the value is $5,151.22.

She was raised to Very Good82% and has two registered daughters. Austin purchased her from Green Valley Dairy of Kerman, Calif., and ranked fifth in the Pot O’Gold Production Contest last year. Rounding out the top five rankings of Division II of the youth production contest is Sophia Bollenbacher, Argos, Ind. She makes her debut with her homebred entry, Bolle-Acres Grnd Cherry. The Very Good-87% daughter of Rapid Bay Grandious, GJPI -63, made a 6-5 record with a value of $5061.94 and an m.e. of 32,879–1,156–1,054.

in each production contest. Actual production for the 1-11 record is 19,110 lbs. milk, 1,083 lbs. fat (5.7%) and 771 lbs. protein (4.0%). Chelsie purchased “Pippa” from Sarah Mae Alexander, Rog-Al Jerseys, Liberty, Pa., at the 2018 Pot O’Gold Sale. When she was unable to attend the sale or view it through JerseyAuctionLive.com because of internet issues, Chelsie enlisted the help of former AJCA-National All-Jersey Inc. Area Representative Sara Barlass. Page 30
Chelsie entrusted Sara to choose a heifer, bid on her and arrange for trucking home. Her faith was well founded. Chelsie paid $2,900 for “Pippa” and will receive a check in the amount of $3,011.04 for winning the contest. Sara may have had insight on “Pippa’s” value as she came from a herd she had served as an area representative. Though “Pippa” got a slow start to her milking career, she soon took off and never faltered. She freshened in early August 2019 with her first calf and gave 43 lbs. milk at 23 days fresh. This steady performer never fell below this mark and peaked with

80 lbs. milk at 208 days fresh. She was still giving 60 lbs. milk for her last test in May 2020. She calved with her second calf in September 2020 and recently completed a 3-0 record of 23,770 lbs. milk, 1,463 lbs. fat (6.2%) and 939 lbs. protein (4.0%).

“Disco 2257 725” was consigned to the 2018 Pot O’Gold Sale by Clemson University Dairy Farm, Clemson, S.C. For placing second in this contest, Clayton will receive a check for $1,923.72. Clayton has fared well in previous production contests as well, placing among the top 15 in the Pot O’Gold Production Contest six of the past seven years. He reached his highest ranking this year but also attained a top five ranking with All Lynns Daybreak Charlotte in 2019 and fourth with GCJ Renegade Garnet in 2015. A good portion of Clayton’s herd traces to Pot O’Gold purchases. Nicholas J. McReynolds, a brother to Luke, rounds out the top five rankings of Division I with his entry, JX Lucky Hill Got Maid Oreo Ball {6}. In her first lactation at 1-6, she produced a record with an m.e. of 23,939–1,297–905 and a value of $4,979.44. Actual production is 15,270 lbs. milk, 845 lbs. fat and 581 lbs. protein. She is sired by JX Sunset Canyon Got Maid {5}-ET, GJPI +143, and appraised Desirable-78%. “Oreo Ball {6}” kicked off her second lactation delivering a heifer calf by JX Ahlem Frisco Pine {6}-ET, GJPI +82. She completed the lactation with 16,520 lbs. milk, 953 lbs. fat and 633 lbs. protein in 257 days and recently left the herd. Other juniors to be honored for accomplishments in Division I of the contest are Zachary S. Chittenden, Schodack Landing, N.Y.; Tyler Seals, Tillamook, Ore.; Alison and Lauren Graves, Talbott, Tenn.; Jacob Bohnert, East Moline, Ill.; and Tyler Bohnert, East Moline, Ill. Other juniors to earn prizes in Division II of the contest are Andrew McReynolds, Danville, Vt.; Joshua Seals, Tillamook, Ore.; Elizabeth Hyman, Adams, N.Y.; Bryson Josi, Tillamook, Ore.; and Ellie Bollenbacher, Argos, Ind. Pot O’Gold Production Contest Since its inception in 1958, the Pot O’Gold Sale has offered youth between the ages of seven and 20 the opportunity to purchase genetically superior heifers from top herds across the country. A percentage 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 3, 2018, the 61st program offered 36 heifers to juniors in the Pot O’Gold Sale in Louisville. From the sale of those heifers, $16,728 was set aside in the fund to pay out this year. It will be distributed as follows: first prize, 18%; second, JERSEY JOURNAL
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 (DCR) of 90 or higher for protein. Loss, death or transfer of ownership of any purchase before the record is complete eliminates the heifer from competition. This year, 24 of the 36 entries met the qualifications to compete in the 2021 edition of the contest. The 24 records had an average m.e. of 21,372–1,032–789 and an average dollar value of $4,157.13. As previously mentioned, Chelsie Fuller won the contest with Rog-Al Casino Pippa. Clayton Kirchdoerfer placed second with Clemson Disco 2257 725. Jack Zina ranks third with Ahlem Mainstream Dahlia 51543. The Very Good-87% daughter of O.F. Mainstream, GJPI +81, produced a first lactation with a value of $4,944.93. Actual production for the 1-9 record is 20,610 lbs. milk, 974 lbs. fat and 680 lbs. protein. She proved to be a solid investment for Jack. He purchased her from Ahlem Farms Partnership, Hilmar, Calif., for $1,500 and will nearly recoup that amount with prize winnings of $1,338.24. As well, she completed another stellar record of 24,310 lbs. milk, 1,144 lbs. fat and 811 lbs. protein in 292 days at 2-10. She freshened with her third calf in mid-May 2021. She gave 90 lbs. milk on her first test and is projected to 21,445–1,245–730 at 3-9. “Dahlia 51543” has two daughters and ranks among the top 1.5% genotyped cows with a GJPI of +102. Like many other juniors, Jack has developed his herd largely with purchases from the Pot O’Gold Sale. In addition to “Dahlia 51543” and the previously mentioned “Tiramisu,” who placed second in Division II of the youth production contest, he has placed in the Pot O’Gold Production Contest four other times since 2014. Another pair of juniors whose entries placed in Division I of the 2020 National Jersey Youth Production Contest round out the top rankings of the 2021 Pot O’Gold Production Contest.

The 11 recipients are pursuing higher education at universities and colleges in eight different states—California, Iowa, Minnesota, New York, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington, and Wisconsin. They are pursuing degrees in agricultural business, agricultural communications, agriculture science, animal science, dairy production, dairy science, and nursing. Twenty-one students applied for schol-
arships from the AJCA this year. Youth can apply for as many scholarships for which they are eligible to compete. Support for the AJCA scholarship program comes from eight different funds managed in perpetuity by the AJCA.
Meghan Hettinga, Orange City, Iowa, was selected for the on-farm experience. She worked at Cinnamon Ridge Dairy, Donahue, Iowa, to learn about onfarm processing and interacting with consumers.
Fred Stout Experience Awards In addition to the scholarship awards listed below, three juniors received Fred Stout Experience Awards. Hannah Diehl, McVeytown, Pa., was chosen as the 2020 recipient for Jersey Marketing Service. Because of COVID-19, her internship was postponed until this summer. Elizabeth Gross, New Ringgold, Pa., is winner of the 2021 award. She will begin her internship with JMS this fall.

Russell-Malnati Scholarship for Advanced Studies This scholarship—the largest offered by the AJCA—is available to graduate students seeking degrees in dairy science, animal science, large animal veterinary practice, dairy production, dairy manufacturing, or dairy product processing. Kathryn Marie Bosley, Malone, N.Y., will receive this year’s scholarship in the amount of $5,000. She earned a bachelor’s degree in animal science and an associate’s degree in dairy production and management from the State University of New York (SUNY)-Cobleskill in the spring of 2021. She will pursue her master’s degree in animal science at the University of Minnesota next spring. Long term, she plans to work with dairy cattle genetics in academia, with an appointment that is half research and half teaching. Kathryn placed sixth in the 2020 National Jersey Youth
Achievement Contest and attended Jersey Youth Academy in 2017. She received The Lineweaver Scholarship in 2020 and the V. L. Peterson Scholarship in 2019. She grew up on her family’s 50-cow Registered Jersey dairy, Tierney Farm. Among her favorite pastimes were “show-cations” at the New York State Fair, the New York Spring Carousel, the Big E, World Dairy Expo and The All American Jersey Show. She was active with 4-H and crowned Franklin County Dairy Princess in 2017. She is currently serving her second term as co-secretary of the New York Jersey Cattle Club. Kathryn was a member of the dairy and pre-vet clubs at SUNY-Cobleskill and helped found Sigma Alpha Gamma sorority. She judged dairy cattle at World Dairy Expo with teams that represented New York 4-H and SUNY-Cobleskill. She was honored with the university’s Chancellor’s Award for Student Excellence this year and earned the Excellence in Student Leadership Award twice.
William A. Russell Memorial Scholarship This scholarship is available to high school graduates accepted into a college or university for the fall program of the school year (entering freshmen). Kylie Marie Konyn, Escondido, Calif., has been named recipient of the $2,000 scholarship. She is a freshman at the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a double major in dairy science and either life science communications or genetics.

JERSEY JOURNAL
Proposals Sought For Jersey Cattle And Product Research The AJCC Research Foundation has issued a request for research proposals to be funded in 2022 addressing significant issues for the Jersey breed and Jersey milk producers. Current priorities for research funding are: • Nutrition of high-producing Jerseys, particularly practical feeding methods to maximize production of valuable milk components; • Factors affecting management of Jersey calves; • Factors affecting semen production of Jersey bulls; • Factors affecting yield and/or quality of products manufactured from Jersey milk; • Factors affecting economic impact of Jerseys: efficiencies, net income, longevity, and lifetime profit; • Optimizing the genetic basis for improving animal health and/or enhancing product quality; • Enhancing environmental impact associated with Jerseys; • New technologies for safe and sustainable food production from Jersey cattle; and • Feasibility of adding value and increasing consumer acceptance of Jersey-derived products through enhanced product quality and branding. Application deadline is December 1, 2021. The Research Advisory Committee of the American Jersey Cattle Association will evaluate the proposals, then forward its recommendations to the AJCA Board of Directors, which will award funds at its meeting in March 2022. Submissions are evaluated for (a) merit (e.g., potential to advance practical knowledge, creative approach to the problem); (b) competence (i.e., high probability of successful completion within the proposed time frame); and (c) relevance (e.g., problem derived from one of the areas of research priority). Since 1988, the Foundation has awarded more than $900,000 in seed money for selected projects. Detailed information about the Competitive Grants Program can be found on the USJersey web site (permalink http:// bit.do/JerseyRFP) or requested from Cari W. Wolfe, Director of Research and Genetic Programs Development, at 614/322-4453. SEPTEMBER 2021

G-Code Bulls Marketed by A.I. Organizations, August 2021 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 August 2021 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 127. 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 450 Jersey bulls for this release. These bulls average +348M, +40F, +27P, CM$ +440 NM$ +430, and JPI +91. For the entire list of bulls with complete evaluations for yield, fitness and type traits, refer to the Jersey Genetic Summary (Vol. 26, No. 2, 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.

JERSEY JOURNAL
This month’s Jersey Jargon is a continuation of the series, The A, B, Cs of Jersey Performance Pedigrees. For the first part of the series, see page 41 of the August 2021 issue of the Jersey Journal. Acronyms and Abbreviations HRDS (Herds): The number of herds in which daughters that contribute to a bull’s proof are managed. HTI (Health Trait Index): A trait that combines the six new health traits—DA, KET, MAS, MET, MFV and RPL— into a single index. Higher values are more desirable. Marketed bulls listed on BullsEye range from -10.56 to +11.57, with an average of -0.14. JH1 (Jersey Haplotype 1): Status for JH1 reported for animals genotyped with chip densities of 6K or higher. An animal designated free is identified as JH1F. A designated carrier is identified as JH1C.
cheese yield in pounds. If a verification test was conducted during the lactation, a “V” is published with the record. Records will be truncated if space is an issue, beginning with the paternal and maternal grandams.
animal to experience mastitis. Most highly heritable (3.1%) of the new health traits. Higher values are more desirable. Marketed bulls listed on BullsEye range from -7.4 to +3.7, with an average of -0.8.
LIV (Livability): A genetic predictor of a cow’s ability to remain alive. LIV is defined as the probability of a lactation not ending in death or on-farm euthanasia. LIV is correlated with Productive Life (PL), DPR, CCR and HCR. It is negatively correlated to PTAM. Higher values are more desirable. Marketed bulls listed on BullsEye range from -5.6 to +5.1, with an average of +0.3.
ME AVG (ME Average): An average for ME calculated across all lactations. ME is a standardized reporting of yield so production can be compared. The ME formula uses five factors—number of milkings per day, age at calving, previous days open, season of calving and region of the country—to predict what the record would be if it were completed by mature cow in an average environment.
M (Milk): Abbreviation for milk. Represents yield in pounds when associated with lactation information. Predicts daughter performance when associated with the genetic evaluation.
MET (Metritis): One of six genetic evaluations for health traits adopted in 2020. Used to predict likelihood of animal to experience metritis. Higher values are more desirable. Marketed bulls listed on BullsEye range from -3.4 to +1.2, with an average of -0.1. MFV (Milk Fever): One of six genetic
MAS (Mastitis): One of six genetic evaluations for health traits adopted in 2020. Used to predict likelihood of
(continued to page 58)
JNS (Jersey Neuropathy and Splayed Forelimbs): Status for JNS. An animal designated free is identified as JNSF. A designated carrier is identified as JNSC JPI (Jersey Performance Index) / GJPI (Genomic JPI): The all-encompassing profitability index developed specifically for Jerseys. Based on production (49%), functional type and udders (19.4%), fertility (14.5%), survival traits (8%) and health traits (4.6%). JUI (Jersey Udder Index) / GJUI (Genomic JUI): A composite trait that combines the udder traits—fore udder, rear udder height, rear udder width, udder cleft, udder depth, teat placement and teat length—into a single index. KET (Ketosis): One of six genetic evaluations for health traits adopted in 2020. Used to predict likelihood of animal to experience ketosis. Higher values are more desirable. Marketed bulls listed on BullsEye range from -1.6 to +1.3, with an average of +0.0. L (Lactation): Associated with ME average for production. Indicates number of lactations included in average. Lactation information for actual production is also included in the block of performance information in the following format: age at calving, length of record in days, times milked per day, milk yield in pounds, fat test, fat yield in pounds, protein test, protein yield in pounds, DCR of record, SEPTEMBER 2021

evaluations for health traits adopted in 2020. Used to predict likelihood of animal to experience milk fever, or hypocalcemia. Higher values are more desirable. Marketed bulls listed on BullsEye range from -0.3 to +0.4, with an average of +0.1 NM$ (Net Merit Dollars): A comprehensive economic index to predict an animal’s lifetime profit. OWNER: Name, address and account number of recorded owner on file with the AJCA. P (Protein): Abbreviation for protein. Represents yield in pounds when associated with lactation information. Predicts daughter performance when associated with the genetic evaluation. PL (Productive Life): A genetic predictor of longevity, or the number of days a cow will lactate during her lifetime. Defined as the time in the milking herd before removal by voluntary culling, involuntary culling, or death. PL is correlated with milk, fat and protein yield, somatic cell score, DPR and certain appraisal traits. It differs from LIV in that it considers voluntary and involuntary culling as reasons for leaving the herd. Higher values are more desirable.
Page 58
Marketed bulls listed on BullsEye range from -4.0 to +6.9, with an average of +2.7. P-LEVEL (Percentile Level): Percentile ranking of a heifer’s Parent Average (PA) for JPI. Compares genetic merit among heifers born in the same year. Values expressed as a single digit representing increments of 10%. Values range from a low P0 through a high P9. P-level is no longer reported after a female freshens and begins to contribute performance information to her genetic evaluation or when daughters begin contributing performance information to a bull’s proof. Not displayed on sample pedigree but would be published above EFI/GFI. PA (Parent Average): Genetic evaluation for ungenotyped animals with no performance information. Half of PA is derived from PTAs or GPTAs of the dam. The other half is derived from genetic merit of the sire. PAs are no longer reported after a female freshens and begins to contribute performance information to her genetic evaluation or when daughters begin contributing performance information to a bull’s proof. Not displayed on sample pedigree but would be published instead of GPTAs from CDCB and GPTAT and GJPI from AJCA. PPA (Predicted Producing Ability): A
prediction of future production, with measures for milk, fat and protein yield expressed as pounds. Because PPA is determined relative to a constant genetic base, it is the most effective tool to identify cows that will be profitable producers across herds. For cows only. PROGENY: Total number of registered offspring. A list of up to eight progeny includes registration number, gender, birth date, tattoo, genotyping status, and current JPI/GJPI. Progeny listed in reverse birth order. For females only. PTA (Predicted Transmitting Ability) / GPTA (Genomic PTA): A genetic evaluation tool calculated by the CDCB. Predicts the difference of progeny from average for a variety of traits. All first lactation heifers in milk 40 days or more and all second and later lactation cows properly identified by sire should have PTA or GPTA values. PTAT (PTA Type) / GPTAT (Genomic PTAT): A genetic evaluation for type. RA (Rump Angle): Abbreviation for the linear type trait, rump angle, with corresponding value listed below. Published as a genetic measure for all animals and as actual phenotypic values for appraised cows.

Bonnie Ayars to Receive Pioneer Award
American Jersey Cattle Association member, Bonnie Ayars, is being honored with National Dairy Shrine’s Pioneer Award. Bonnie is a respected dairy cattle breeder, teacher, coach, and agriculture advocate from Mechanicsburg, Ohio. Bonnie has many ties to the Jersey breed. She was the 1967 National Jersey Queen and worked as an Advertising Assistant with Jersey Journal in the mid1980s. She has sang the National Anthem for the opening of the Jersey Jug Futurity and sponsors the Charlene Nardone tiara each year for the National Jersey Queen. Bonnie and her husband, John, have bred and developed one of the nation’s top Guernsey herds with the Land of Living prefix and then added the partnership of New View Swiss and more prize-winning cows to the farm. Over 20 national show champions, numerous All-Americans, bulls in A.I., and leading production animals were bred and developed by the couple and their sons. A passionate and engaging educator, Ayars has been a teacher for 48 years. In 2006, Ayars accepted a position at Ohio State University as a dairy program spePage 60
cialist working with all 4-H dairy programming, coaching the collegiate and 4-H judging teams, and teaching in the animal sciences department. She eventually transitioned to only the collegiate portion of her appointment but continues to work with 4-H dairy programs. Her judging teams have won many contests, including the National Intercollegiate Contest at World Dairy Expo in 2019. Ayars’ strength and competence havemade her a valued leader, mentor and role model. She has judged local, state and national dairy shows including World Dairy Expo’s Guernsey Show in 2006 and the National Guernsey Junior Show in 2012. Her enthusiasm and life experiences have made her a popular speaker for national dairy breed conventions, student groups, and local and community programs. She has collaborated with cable television shows to demonstrate the preparation of dairy based recipes, supported the American Dairy Association-Mideast in live and video promotions and events, and provided cows and leadership for educational displays at Ohio State Fair. Her baking skills were recognized when she was the Ohio representative in the All-American Crisco Pie Baking Contest.
In 2010, the Ayars’ family began using their own milk to make ice cream on the farm. The family continues to operate an ice cream and cheese business, along with an on-farm activity center, under the name Ayars Family Farm. Within these ventures, Bonnie has been able to communicate and educate the public about agriculture, life, and the grit it takes to sustain a family farm. She will be recognized at the NDS Awards Banquet during World Dairy Expo on Thursday, September 30.

In Memoriam Betty Marie Claudon Shaw Betty Marie Claudon Shaw, Avon, Ill., 85, passed away on November 9, 2020, at The Elms, Macomb, Ill. She was born on July 22, 1935, in Avon, daughter of the late Dell and Louise (Vickers) Meachum. She grew up in Greenbush, Ill., and raised registered Herefords. Betty married L. Gerald Claudon and together they owned Meadow Ridge Farm, a Registered Jersey herd in Chenoa, Ill. They enjoyed showing at state and national shows. Among the highlights was exhibiting the winner of the 1968 Jersey Bull Futurity, M.R. Epic Major. The Claudons won many other championships as well, along with banners for premier breeder and premier exhibitor. Betty was an assistant dairy superintendent at the Illinois State Fair and a member of Illinois FFA Alumni. She received an honorary chapter degree from Avon FFA. Betty was a 65-year member of American Legion Auxiliary and served the organization as district president and director. She also was active with the Forty and Eight (40/8), an honor society for veterans, for 58 years. She married Roy E. Shaw on January 1, 1973. She worked in the banking industry and at the Prairie City Rehab and Health Care center and assisted in management of Premium Seeds Inc. of Berwick, Ill. Betty is survived by children, Sue Ann Claudon of Chenoa, Cindy Yocum of Bushnell, Ill., Barbara Shaw of St. Augustine, Ill., Linda (Wayne) Kilburn of Greenbush, Roger (Michelle) Shaw of St. Augustine, and Roy (Carol) “Corky” Shaw Jr. of Roseville; 12 grandchildren; and 24 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, Roy. Memorials may be made to the Abingdon-Avon FFA Chapter and/or Avon Fat Steer Show Steer Committee.
Bill David Boyer Bill “David” Boyer, Webbers Falls, Okla., 73, passed away on August 1, 2021, in Fort Smith, Ark. He was born on July 16, 1948, in Hobbs, N.M., to the late Clyde Franklin and Audrey Marie (Wingert) Boyer. He spent the first five years of life in New Mexico and then moved with his family to Muskogee, Okla., in 1953. He attended junior high at Mountain View School and graduated from Muskogee Central High School in 1966. He married his high school sweetheart, LaNell Blackwell, on Page 62
July 23, 1966. David earned a degree in agriculture education from Oklahoma State University. He taught vocational agriculture and worked in insurance and agronomy research as well. His real lifelong desire, though, was to be a dairy farmer. So, at the age of 30, he fulfilled that dream when he and LaNell moved with their two children to a beautiful farm south of Webbers Falls and raised Registered Jerseys. He was a member of the American Jersey Cattle Association and used programs from the organization to manage the herd, including REAP. The herd of about 220 milking cows was dispersed in October 2011. The Boyers continued to raise heifers on the farm and housed cows at another dairy north of Webbers Falls. David sat on the board of the Central Equity Cooperative and also served the co-op as president. Faith, family, and agriculture were the cornerstones of his life. He was a deacon and Sunday school teacher in the churches he and LaNell attended. He had a passion for seeing marriages and families thrive, enjoyed mentoring young people, and lent a hand or listening ear when it was needed. In the spring of 2016, he became LaNell’s caregiver when she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. In December 2017, he received a kidney transplant from a 37-year-old donor named Jessica. From that time forward, he had two primary missions: remain faithful in caring for LaNell and honor Jessica’s memory with a healthful lifestyle. In addition to his wife of 55 years, David is survived by a son Rudy (Christy) Boyer of Whitehouse, Texas; a daughter Katie (Craig) Osburn of Webbers Falls; five grandchildren; sisters, Nelda Fulton of Warner, Okla., Sherron (Sid) Hunnicut of Lavaca, Ark., and Mona (David) Price of Muskogee; brothers, Dale (Patsy) Boyer of Choctaw, Okla., Jack (Marion) Boyer of Reinbeck, Iowa, and Jody (Debbie) Boyer of Boynton, Okla.; brother-in-law Kenny (Kathy) Jackson of Muskogee; several nieces and nephews; and family and friends. He was preceded in death by his inlaws, Ford and Ada Blackwell; sister-inlaw, Carole Beach; and brothers-in-law Marlin Fulton and Bill Beach.
Alice M. Barlass Alice Mae Barlass, Janesville, Wis., 90, passed away on August 2, 2021. She was born Alice Tobison on September 26, 1930, the daughter of the late William and Minnie (Luebke) Tobison. She attended Four Oaks grade school in Harmony Township and graduated from
Janesville High School in 1948. She received a teacher’s certificate from Whitewater Teachers College (UW-Whitewater) and taught in rural Janesville and Milton area schools. Alice married her high school valentine, Marvin Barlass, on June 16, 1951. The two made their home on Rock Prairie, the region where his family first settled upon emigration from Scotland, where they farmed their entire lives. They purchased their present farm in 1968 and established Barlass Jerseys. Today, Barlass Jerseys is operated by their son, Bill, and his wife Marion, and their sons, Brian and Brett, at Yosemite Jerseys in Hilmar, Calif., and daughter, Kristin Paul, director of field services for the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA), and their families. Marvin and Alice’s youngest daughter, Sara, is a former appraiser and area representative for the AJCA and continues to work part time for the company. Alice was a member of the AJCA and the Wisconsin Jersey Breeders Association, which named her Wisconsin Woman of the Year in 1995. For many years, Alice and Marvin assisted as inspectors of elections at the Annual Meetings of the AJCA and National All-Jersey Inc. Among Alice’s favorite pastimes was traveling to annual meetings with Marvin and her beloved sister, Toby Spotz, to perform her inspector duties and socialize with friends. She was a longtime 4-H leader in Rock County and a devout community service volunteer. Her efforts ran the gamut, from hosting school children for tours of Barlass Jerseys to helping with the local women’s shelter. For her service, she received the YWCA Rock County Woman of Distinction award. Alice was also a member of Rock Prairie Presbyterian Church, which she served as deacon and ruling elder. She taught Sunday school, sang in the choir and was active with women’s groups. She is survived by five children who were the love of her life, William “Bill” (Marion) Barlass, Janet Giangregorio, Alfred Barlass, Mark Barlass, and Sara Barlass (Greg Devine); four grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; sister, Doris (Dick) Puerner; brother-inlaw and sister-in-law, George and Shirley Barlass, Gil-Bar Jerseys, Janesville, Wis.; and several nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband Marvin, who passed away in September 2008, two grandchildren, sister Arlene Spotz, and brother and sister-inlaw, Darrell and Bernita Reeder. Memorials may be made to the family, who will establish memorials with a (continued to page 64)

Stephen P. “Steve” Bachelor Stephen P. “Steve” Bachelor, Angola, Ind., passed away on August 3, 2021, two weeks shy of his 77th birthday. He was born in Angola on August 16, 1944, to the late Max and June (Koon) Bachelor. He lived his entire life on the family farm purchased by his greatgrandfather in 1864. Steve graduated from Orland High School in 1962 and then studied agriculture through the Purdue University short course. He married Lynda Holden on December 2, 1967. Steve was active in dairy youth programs. He joined 4-H in 1953 and purchased his first calf, Jersey Jester, for $500. He won senior showmanship at The All American Junior Jersey Show in 1961 and the National Jersey Youth Achievement Contest in 1964. His purchase from the 1958 Pot O’Gold Sale, Beacon Sure Thing, placed second in the ensuing production contest and topped the aged cow class at The 1963 All American Junior Jersey Show. He sold her in The All American Jersey Sale the following year. Steve made lifelong friends and earned the respect of many in the show ring as exhibitor and judge. The Bachelors exhibited two National Jersey Jug Futurity Winners (Bachelors B Sooner Jessie in 1995 and Bachelors Sambo Emmy 661 in 2002) and three Reserve Winners. They won National Grand Champion laurels with SS Tony Jenni of Lee Hollow in 1997 and Bolle-Acres MJ Willie May, a cow owned in partnership with Bolle-Acres Jerseys, in
Page 64
1998 and 1999. Bachelor Farms received both the Premier Breeder and Premier Exhibitor banners at the All American in 1995. They won Overall Premier Performance Winner of the show twice with “Emmy” and also with Nickys Pitino Nicollete. Steve was called on to officiate shows often. He judged the All American Junior Jersey Show in 2002 and is the only man to place the National Jersey Jug Futurity with his son, Shawn, as his consultant three years later. Bachelor Farms used programs from the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA), including REAP. They contributed to Project Equity for more than 25 years and advertised with the Jersey Journal. The family also routinely consigned to The All American Jersey Sale, the National Heifer Sale, the Top of the World Sale, the Kentucky National Sale and the Ohio Spring Classic Sale. They also supported sales managed by dairy clubs at Ohio State University, Purdue University, and Virginia Tech. Though the milking cows were sold in 2019, the Bachelors continued to raise young stock on the farm. Steve was a member of the AJCA and was honored with the Max Gordon Recognition Award in 2019. Among his friends, he was known for his athletic prowess as a long-distance runner and basketball player in high school. In addition to his wife of 53 years, Lynda, and son, Shawn, and his wife, Jackie, of Orland, Ind., he is survived by two other sons, Cory (Stacy) Bachelor of Orland and Curt (Jen) Bachelor of Angola; and seven grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his in-
laws, Keith and Lila Holden.
Edwin Lee Crotty Edwin Lee “Ed” Crotty, Eastampton, N.J., 85, passed away on August 8, 2021. He was born on April 28, 1936, in Morristown, N.J., son of the late James and Nancy Crotty. Crotty worked with Jersey cattle in various capacities his entire life. His work ethic and experience with milk marketing, dairy product science, cattle genetics and people made him a valued asset to the Jersey breed. The American Jersey Cattle Club (AJCC) honored him with the Distinguished Service Award in 1991. Ed began working with Jersey cows in his youth at Twin Oaks Jersey Farm in Morristown. He assisted with the show string, milked by hand, and worked in the fields. A love for cattle firmly rooted, he pursued a degree in animal husbandry at Rutgers University. His studies were interrupted twice: first, when he became a DHIA tester for Somerset County for six months, and then, when he returned to Twin Oaks to operate the milk plant where Jersey Creamline products were bottled. When Twin Oaks closed, Crotty returned to Rutgers and worked at the university dairy in return for housing. He also was a night shift switch board operator for the school and earned tuition money at a gas station on the weekends and as a milk tester for Burlington County DHIA for two summers. Ed earned his undergraduate degree from Rutgers in 1959 and then accepted a fieldman position with United Milk Producers. He was commissioned for six months of active duty with the U.S. Army and returned to the cooperative as director of milk marketing. He resigned his position at the cooperative to earn an advanced degree in dairy chemistry. In the spring of 1962, he became the eastern area representative for the AJCC and National All-Jersey Inc. His responsibilities initially included three states and grew to 13. He helped to secure All-Jersey franchises in North and South Carolina and opened a pipeline of Jersey genetics that flowed from New England breeders to the Carolinas. By 1966, this market reached $1 million in sales. His work made it easier for the AJCC to officially enter the cattle buying and selling business and laid the groundwork for today’s Jersey Marketing Service. In 1969, Crotty became manager of another well-known New Jersey dairy that milked Registered Jerseys—Ogston Farm of Columbus. He worked with herd owner and AJCC Master Breeder John Bishop VI to introduce the productionJERSEY JOURNAL
bred herd to the Jersey world, promoting it with the slogan, “pure for production.” Numerous production winners and bulls were developed with his guidance. Among the notables were five winners of the Pot O’Gold Production Contest between 1974 and 1981 and the bull Quicksilvers Magic of Ogston. Crotty officially managed the herd until 1978 but continued as a consultant through the herd dispersal in July 1989. He accepted a position with the New Jersey Department of Corrections as supervisor of farm operations in 1978. That year, the farm lost $1 million producing poor-quality products. By the time he retired in 2000, the 13-farm system was in the black, selling $8 million of highquality products. Ed introduced a Jersey herd to the farm, purchasing genetics from venues like the All American Jersey Sale, the National Heifer Sale and the Dixie Classic. He used Jersey milk to manufacture yogurt and other specialty products. But Ed was most proud of another achievement at the Department of Corrections: rehabilitating those who were incarcerated by giving them responsibilities, making them accountable for their actions, and rewarding them with encouragement. He appeared on the Phil Donahue show to explain his methods and received a Professional Achievement Award from Governor Kane for his efforts. Crotty was an inspector with USDA’s Food Safety Inspection Service from 2006-2014. He established LBL Foods in 2008. Among the products is On Guard, a drinkable yogurt that was the first to earn the low-glycemic, diabetic-friendly seal of the Glycemic Research Institute. Ed enjoyed hosting family and friends for barbeque and traveling to Jersey events. He is survived by a son, Kenneth (Heather) Crotty, and a grandson, as well as many dear friends. He was preceded in death by his siblings, Jim, Paul, and Betty. Memorials may be made to the Disabled American Veterans at donate.dav.org.
