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.

However, the total market, here and abroad, is relatively small, worth an estimated $6$7 billion. It is predicted that the market will grow by an average of 22% between 2020 and 2025, reaching $22 billion in sales by 2025.

The Best Jersey Weekend of the Year Many had chills as they listened to All American Junior Jersey Show judge, Brady Core of Kentucky, describe the importance and meaning of the All American weekend to him last year before he named his grand champion. “I love this show more than anything in the world. The people that come up through the Hall of Fame, the sound of cows walking on that cardboard out there ... You come around the ramp and down the hill in the makeup ring and just feel the silence in the air. There’s no place on earth that I’d rather be than right here. Kentucky is well known for the first Saturday in May or whenever that horse race is. I’ve never been to it. But the best day in Kentucky is the first Saturday, Sunday and Monday in November. There’s no doubt in my mind.” It is no secret in the dairy industry that the first weekend in November is a special time for Jersey breeders of all ages. By late summer, families have begun to make hotel reservations to be in attendace at the greatest Jersey event on earth—The All American Jersey Shows & Sales. From the iconic green shavings in Freedom Hall, to the great Jersey cows that have graced the walkways of the sale ring and the shows, the memories made in Louisville, Ky., are second to none. The year of 2020 has presented many challenges. In fact until September 24, 2020, no one knew if there would even be an All American Jersey Show on the calendar. But the North American International Livestock Exposition (NAILE) staff saw the opportunity to deliver an event the U.S. dairy industry was missing this year. These men and women have worked long and hard hours to pull off a dairy show for us this year. The group worked closely with the Kentucky Health Department to develop a plan the governor of Kentucky would approve for this national dairy event. We extend a heartfelt thank you to those involved. The All American Jersey Shows & Sales are more than just a couple of shows

and sales. The event has no peer. No other breed association concentrates as much effort on one promotional event as the American Jersey Cattle Association does on The All American. It is extra special though because of the multitudes of Jersey enthusiasts who have generously donated their time, ideas, energies and yes, money, to ensure the success of this incredible experience. This year the show will have a different look due to the restrictions in effect due to COVID-19. The show is a participant-only event. The USJersey staff and the staff of NAILE will be doing their best to bring you all of the action via livestream through our respective webpages. This year’s show perhaps has more importance to the industry than other years, as animals are showcased live in front of a worldwide audience. Saturday, November 7, is junior day—beginning with the Junior Show at 7:30. Showmanship will kick off the morning’s events. Junior Supreme champions will be named at 5:00 p.m. in Freedom Hall. The Pot O’Gold Sale will be held at 6:30 this year in the West Hall of the Exhibition Center. Sunday will have a slightly different feel as the day will kick off at the Hilton Garden Inn with a youth recognition cermony and the crowning of the 2020 National Jersey Queen. At 1:30 p.m., the National Jersey Jug Futurity will take place on the green shavings and the next Max Gordon Award recipient will be named. That afternoon will culminate with the All American Sale at 4:30 p.m. On Monday, the All American and Reserve All American’s of the Jersey breed will be named, as well as a new National Grand Champion. The Supreme Champion of the dairy shows will be selected on Tuesday.

Is it worth it? Yes! The investment in the shows and sales has been returned many times over. It provides a venue for people around the globe— no matter their connection to the dairy industry—to see a cross-section of the best Jerseys in the world.

construction of his new operation. With the impending completion of the freestall barn with four robotic milking systems, Josh began searching for quality animals to start his herd at Poulin Farms. A man who appreciates quality animals with solid pedigrees, Josh knew he needed help to obtain the best animals for his needs. Thus began the working relationship between him and the AJCA and National All-Jersey Inc. (NAJ). With the aid of Jersey Marketing Service (JMS), Josh was able to purchase animals that met his needs. He had a strict criterion though. The animals needed to have Very Good dams and grandams, as well as excellent udder traits and be plus for Parent Average milk production. Through private treaty sales, Josh obtained a load of animals from the Midwest, as well as loads from the Northeast. He also purchased groups of animals at both the Mid-Atlantic Fall Jersey Classic Sale and the Northeast Jersey Classic and Breeders Sale, both managed by JMS. Josh has always had an appreciation for genetics and believes it is important to have the parentage information and history behind each individual animal. This led to his decision to also enroll in the REAP (Registration, Equity, Appraisal and Performance) program through the AJCA. Throughout this process, AJCA-NAJ

Poulin recently installed the Lely Vector Automated Feeding System. Since implementation, the herd has seen a 5-lbs. increase in production in just a few weeks time.

Area Representative Brenda Snow has worked with Josh to make sure he was pleased with his new purchases and the services that the AJCA provides him and other Jersey farmers. “It makes financial sense to enroll in REAP,” said Snow. “Having the records and OCTOBER 2020

information behind the animals is so important. By being a part in the program, Josh will get his investment in the program back with the increased genetic knowledge and data collection that he can use to make decisions.” Today’s Operation Currently the farm hires three full-time and two part-time individuals in addition to Josh. These individuals allow Josh the flexibility to split his time between the grain business, farm and young family. The farm owns approximately 680 acres of land, upon which 400 are grass and 280 corn. Josh also rents an additional 100 acres. Josh is also not afraid to try new things, especially when it comes to technology. Today the Josh Poulin of Poulin Farms in Newport, Vt.

Heifers are first serviced at 12 months of age. “The heat detection/activity system has worked great for us,” said Josh. “It’s a great technology.” The manure alleys are cleaned using the Lely Discovery Collector—a robot that vacuums the waste and deposits it at the end of the barn to be taken to a dispensing area where manure is than gravity flowed to the manure pit. Heifers and Calves Poulin Farms raises all the heifer calves born on the operation. After birth, the calves are given two feedings of pasteurized colostrum. They are moved to the recently constructed calf barn, built with optimum ventilation and calf comfort in mind. Calves are transitioned to an acidified milk replacer marketed by Poulin Grain after receiving their colostrum. At approximately five to seven days old, the calves are moved into groups of five and put onto a mob feeding system with the acidified milk replacer. Each morning, the calf feeder replaces the barrel with a clean and sanitized one, subsequently filling the feeder to last the calves until the next morning. Fresh grain mix is also provided

to the calves as needed. When weaned at about 57 days, the calves are consuming approximately three gallons of milk per day and 2 lbs. of grain each. From the calf barn, calves are moved to heifer veranda set-ups for another two months. Here they receive a total mixed ration (TMR) and heifer grain. While in this area, calves also receive their vaccination protocols which consist of BoviShield and Calvary 9. Once they grow out of this area, the calves are moved to a three-sided heifer barn until they are approximately breeding age. One of the most exciting projects currently taking place at Poulin Farms is the construction of a new barn which will allow for breeding age heifers to be raised on the farm. Previously this group of heifers were at an offsite location. Once heifers are confirmed pregnant, they are put onto pasture until they are close to calving. Also included in the new barn are dry cows and close-up individuals. A calving pen was also constructed with cow comfort and labor in mind. Poulin Farms Philosophies With having purchased animals from throughout the United States, it has taken time and patience to reach the level of performance that the herd is at now. The amount of data for each of the animals was extensive and needed to be input into two programs – Lely’s Time for Cows (T4C) program and PCDart. Josh knows what he wants when it comes to performance and type. He is breeding his animals to produce higher pounds of solids, while maintaining a respectable daughter pregnancy rate (DPR).

In addition, he has to keep robot function in mind, so cows need to have level udder floors and good teat placement. A nod to the breed, he appreciates the functional vigor it produces and looks to maintain good feet and legs on all his animals. Bulls being used in the herd recently have been “Whistler,” “Disco,” “JX Octavius {6},” “JX Jaywalk {6},” “Demos-P,” “Change-Up,” “Craze” and “Oliver-P.” “I prefer to breed my animals to full Jersey bulls,” noted Josh. “I think it is important to maintain cow size, as well as the other traits the Jersey breed is known for.” All heifer calves are being genomically tested. The results of the tests combined with overall cow performance allow Josh and his employees to determine which animals are bred to Jersey or beef sires. At this time, the determined genetically lowest 30% of the herd is bred to Limousin, known to be the ideal beef cross for Jersey cattle. Involvement and the Future A f ir m believer in continuous advancement, Josh is always looking at what steps to take next with his businesses – both dairy and grain. With the future of the dairy, Josh has looked into adding a value-added proponent, but isn’t quite sure what route he wants to take. In April 2019, Josh attended NAJ’s Valued-Added 101 Workshop hosted in Brattleboro, Vt. The three-day event features value-added industry experts who go through business planning and marketing aspects. In addition, attendees listen to presentations or attend farm tours of current value-added businesses and hear firsthand their experiences as processors. (continued to page 22)

In comments about the program, Josh said, “Overall, the entire program was very helpful. It highlighted a lot of different avenues for success and I appreciated that.” Before he decides his next steps, Josh knows he needs to determine the appropriate market in his area for a successful valueadded or other type of business. Above all, Josh’s true pride is his four children—Mia, 17; Star, 13; Quinne, 10; and Hudson, 8. Although running multiple businesses is no easy task, he makes sure to spend time with his children, making memories both on and off the farm. JERSEY JOURNAL

NAJ EQUITY PROGRAM

Equity Honor Roll

ince June 1976, when Project Equity was kicked off at the AJCA-NAJ Annual Meetings, dairy producers have invested more than $16.5 million in the program through 2019 to establish an equitable pricing system for milk marketed in the U.S. Without doubt, it is one of the most successful programs in the history of the dairy industry. Through participation in REAP, direct contribution, or milk check assignment, thousands of dairy producers have contributed to Project Equity over the years. A special thank you is

extended to the 947 producers who participated in Project Equity from September 17, 2019, to September 16, 2020 (listed below). If your name has been inadvertently omitted, please contact the staff of National All-Jersey Inc. so that an update may be published in a future issue of the Jersey Journal. For more information on contributing to Project Equity, contact National All-Jersey by calling 614/322-4450 or by emailing emetzger@usjersey.com.

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 2021 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.

New England Jersey Breeders Gather for Picnic

Members of the New England Jersey Breeders Association (NEJBA) gathered for their annual summer picnic—the first event for the club post COVID quarantine—on July 12, 2020, at Cadillac Jersey Farm, owned by Peter Hawkes Jr., in Alstead, N.H. About 90 Jersey enthusiasts took opportunity to visit with their peers, enjoy a scrumptious spread of BBQ pulled pork and side dishes and present awards for achievements with Jersey cattle. Derrick and Beverly Wright were honored with the New England Outstanding Breeder Award. The two operate a 50cow Registered Jersey dairy with their son, Andrew, in Randolph, Vt., and breed cattle using the DBW prefix. The couple was named Vermont Outstanding Jersey Breeder in 2010. Derrick and Beverly met in 1978 while attending Vermont Technical College (VTC). They married a year later and started life together working on a Holstein farm. They established their own herd in 1980 on a rented farm in South Randolph with the purchase of a small herd of Jerseys from western New York. In 1983, they moved the herd to the current location, which has been in Derrick’s family since 1938. Andrew joined the business in 2009 after he graduated from VTC. The herd is enrolled on REAP and ranks among the top 25% in the nation for genetic merit with a herd average JPI of +19 (April 2020). The Wrights regularly consign to sales hosted by Vermont and New England Jersey breeders and the Mid-Atlantic Jersey Sale. Cows are managed in a tie-stall barn. Milk is sold to Agri-Mark. About 100 of the farm’s 373 acres are used for crops and pastures. The balance is woodland, used for a small logging and maple sugar business. Derrick is a former director for the Vermont Jersey Breeders Association and served on planning and road commissions for Bethel Township as well.

Travis Whitcomb and Ed Carter were honored with the New England Young Breeder Award. The pair own and manage a mixed herd of Registered Holsteins and Jerseys with Dr. Roy and Donna Homan at Rhoman-Wai Farm in Chester, Vt. Travis primarily manages the cows; Ed handles the crops.

are housed in a pair of freestall barns bedded with sand and milked in a double-seven parlor. The herd is currently averaging 62 lbs. milk on twice daily milking, with tests of 5.1% fat and 3.7% protein. Somatic cell count is under 150,000. Hawkes strives to feed a ration of at least 60% forages (corn silage and haylage) and supplements this with brewer’s grain and a protein mix. Calves are raised in individual hutches and then transitioned to group hutches of 3-4 calves. After weaning, heifers are raised by his father and sister, Erin, and

Page 40

brought back to New Hampshire shortly before calving. Peter breeds the top 25% of the herd to sexed Jersey semen and the balance to Jersey-Limousin beef bulls. He has a thriving market for these crossbred animals, sending a group of month-old calves each month to a feedlot in Indiana where they will be raised and finished. First conception rates of 62% for sexed semen and Jersey efficiency ensure an adequate supply of replacement heifers. The farm encompasses about 500 acres, with 180 acres set aside for corn and the balance in hay. Crops are custom planted and harvested by a local company.

Juniors earning prizes in the New England Jersey Youth Production Contest included Colton Stark, Sage Stark, Jack Zina (overall winner), Katarina Emerich and Taylor Lawerence.

Jersey breeders have more options than ever to register their calves with the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA). With email, online and snail mail as methods for submission, Jersey breeders are sure to find a method that works for them and enables them to fully utilize all the benefits registration offers.

Look for the “Herd Register” form or the “Herd Register-Multiple Animals” form on the left side of the page. This form should be used for registration of all animals, even those that don’t qualify for Herd Register status, including animals out of unregistered sires or dams or with ancestry other than Jersey. Write “unknown” or “unregistered” in the appropriate field. Or, if you know the breed of the sire or dam, such as Holstein, write the breed name in the appropriate field. Completed forms may be sent to the AJCA at 6486 East Main Street, Reynoldsburg, OH 43068. They may also be scanned and submitted by email or fax at 614/861-8040.

Online Registration Jersey breeders can submit registrations online through infoJersey.com.

Standard Application for Registration This is the traditional application for registration of which many Jersey breeders are familiar. Forms are available for registration of a single animal or for groups of animals. They can be requested by contacting Herd Services at 614/861-3636 or herdservices@usjersey.com. They can OCTOBER 2020

Jersey breeders who submit registration applications through infoJersey.com are entitled to reduced rates on registrations ($2 per registration). A step-by-step instructional video for this process can be found on the AJCA Learning Center at https:// JerseyLearningCenter.usjerseyjournal. com/. To register for infoJersey, you will need an AJCA account and a password. Steps for setting up an infoJersey account and password are available on the infoJersey home page. Click on the “Create Account” link. If you experience issues during this process, contact Information Technology at 614/322-4464. Time Savers Time Saver Registration Applications were developed to help Jersey breeders save time and keep current with registrations. They are available to Jersey breeders enrolled on official DHIA testing programs. With this program, a form is automatically generated to register all calves born within a given time period based on DHIA records. Information for sire, dam and birthdate are auto-generated along with fees if returned within the window of eligibility. You will need to provide details for registration name, identification, sex and conception status and indicate if the animal is a twin or naturally polled as well. Though this is easy enough, the process can be made even simpler through automatic registration. With this process, the AJCA will automatically name and identify your animals using your prefix, naming process and identification protocol. This is especially useful for large herd owners who desire a quick way to name animals in a manner that is useful for herd management and marketing of pedigrees. Time Savers are automatically created on a quarterly basis in March, June, September and December. However, they can be generated on a monthly basis at the herd owner’s request. To inquire about Time Savers or to sign (continued to page 52)

Jersey breeders can also submit electronic files, like this one created in Excel, with complete registration details. AJCA staff will register the animals at office headquarters. This is an easy way for Jersey breeders to request registration for large groups of animals.
