Hello Holstein Enthusiasts!

My name is Zoe Ertel and I am the 2021 Wisconsin Holstein Association Princess.

I am the 18-year-old daughter of Haley Gilles and Mike Ertel. In a time of craziness this past June, I graduated from Plymouth High School where I actively participated in FFA, the Varsity Dance Team, and the Leaping Lizards 4-H club.

I grew up on my grandparents’ fourth generation dairy farm outside of Plymouth, Smilaire Registered Holsteins. Do not let the name fool you, our herd consists of around 45 cows and 100 youngstock representing Holsteins and a few Jerseys. I have milked cows on the farm since I started walking, alongside my greatgrandma, grandparents, and mom! Some of my best memories I have made are from spending time with my family and dogs in the barn. This is where my passion for the agriculture industry and showing all started, exhibiting on county, state, and even national levels. To this day, my favorite part of each show is watching the grand and reserve champions being named!

Aside from working on the home farm, I work on a family friend’s farm, Pleasant Mile Dairy, located in Howards Grove. When I’m not farming, you can find me at Chester’s Drive-In, located in downtown Plymouth, which is open seasonally in the summer months for some of the best burgers, ice cream, and root beer!

I am excited to see what this year will bring serving as an ambassador for the Wisconsin Holstein Association. As spring and summer months approach, (hopefully quickly) do not forget to watch for entry forms for your district show. I am excited to see new and familiar faces as Emily and I get to travel to all nine shows!

Sincerely,

Zoe Ertel

2021 Wisconsin Holstein Association Princess To have Zoe or Emily attend to one of your events, visit www.wisholsteins. com for a request form. Those with questions can contact Charitee Seebecker at 800-223-4269 ext. 3 or charitees@wisholsteins.com.

Hello fellow Holstein enthusiasts!

My name is Emily Stumpf and I am your 2021 Wisconsin Holstein Association Princess Attendant. Since we weren’t able to have convention this year, I want to take a moment to introduce myself to all of you. I am the 17-year-old daughter of John and Karla Stumpf of Appleton and I have a 14-year-old brother named Austin. My farm experience started by helping on my mom’s sixth generation family dairy farm, Valley-Drive Holsteins, located in Fond du Lac County. I have also been showing Registered Holsteins for the past 12 years at state and national levels.

I am a junior at Appleton North High School and plan to attend college where I will double major in Spanish and Agricultural Business with a certificate in Dairy Science. Currently, I serve as the president of the B-Square 4-H club in Outagamie County. In Fond du Lac, I actively participate in the Fond du Lac County Junior Holstein Association and am serving my second term as treasurer.

When I was younger, I attended Cow Camp and made some amazing friendships through the years of attending. One of my favorite WHA events is the junior convention. I enjoy meeting new friends, seeing old friends and going to the dance after the banquet. Here, I participate in various events and my personal favorite is dairy bowl. Not only because of the competition, but also because I get to see everyone’s hard work finally pay off. I also enjoy convention because I get to see all the members kick their year off, with one of the best weekends of the year!

I have always enjoyed advocating for the dairy industry within my school by teaching my peers, and even my teachers, about the different topics within the industry. I was also a regional ambassador for Fuel Up to Play 60. My goal this year is to teach others about our amazing industry and what it all has to offer.

I am so excited to be traveling around the state of Wisconsin with Zoe this year and to see old friends and meet new ones! If you see us, please do not be afraid to come introduce yourself !

I hope you come sit down with me soon!

District 4: Lonely-Mile Holsteins

by Brittany Olson In a county as rich in dairy as Clark County, a mile of country road with only one dairy farm seems like a bit of an anomaly. However, one farm family incorporated that quirk as a piece of their farming legacy.

No professional pictures?

No problem!

Something we hear every now and then from breeders is that they don’t have any professional pictures of their cows, and that is why they don’t want to place an ad.

We say, that is ok! Over the past year, we have done a number of ads without professional cow pictures.

We are happy to work with your barn candids, show pictures that we have taken or from the Bullvine or Cowsmopolitan or other images you have. Photos should be taken on a camera or be a high-quality phone image. Screenshots of photos will not be accepted.

2021 Wisconsin District Show Rules ANIMAL HEALTH RULES AND REGULATIONS/DAIRY CATTLE ALL CATTLE - Health requirements for the Wisconsin Dairy Showcase are the same as the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture’s requirements for intrastate movement of cattle.

Please visit the DATCP website for the most recent rules - https://datcp.wi.gov/Documents/ FairRulesAnimals.pdf It is highly recommended that all animals shown at the WI District Shows be vaccinated for BVD according to your Veterinarian’s recommendations. It is also highly recommended that animals be tested for Persistently Infected (PI) BVD animals. This is a once in a lifetime test to insure that the animal is not a PI or shedder animal carrying the BVD Virus.

Cattle infected with ringworm, warts, or mange may not be exhibited unless the veterinarian in charge determines the ringworm lesions or warts are inactive and incapable of transmitting the disease. Any cattle found with ringworm, warts, mange or scab shall be removed from the premises of the show.

Show management is responsible for maintaining records of persons who have exhibited at the show and the identification of animals shown for 2 years. Acceptable forms of animal identification for breeding animals are (1) an official metal ear tag, (2) a breed registration number, or (3) a breed registration tattoo.

To compete for junior awards the exhibitor shall not have passed his or her 21st birthday before January 1 of the year of the show. ALL JUNIOR EXHIBITORS MUST HAVE THE ANIMAL’S OWNERSHIP REGISTERED OR TRANSFERRED BY HOLSTEIN ASSOCIATION USA BY JULY 15. TRANSFER APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED AT THE SHOWS. Junior leased animals must follow Holstein USA rules to be eligible for junior awards. a. Partnerships between two or more juniors are allowed if both members are current WHA Junior members. No other partnership qualifies for Junior Recognition. b. Junior exhibitors must be sole leadsperson for their animals in order to receive recognition. If a junior has more than one junior owned animal in one individual class, the junior exhibitor must designate which of the animals will be led by the exhibitor. The animal led by the junior exhibitor will be the animal eligible for Junior Recognition. c. Managerial projects may be exhibited in Open Class competition. However, they are not eligible for Junior awards. d. To be considered for Junior Awards, exhibitors must identify themselves as a qualified junior member on the entry form and upon check-in to show management. e. It is the responsibility of the Junior owner to prove ownership of animal by hard copy (on the registration paper). f. An out-of-state junior may compete at the District Shows as a Junior member if the animal is housed in Wisconsin and owned in partnership with a junior member that resides in Wisconsin. The leadsperson must be the junior member residing in Wisconsin.

Bred and Owned: This award is optional at the District Shows. An award will be given in all the female classes for the highest placing animal bred and owned by exhibitor; partnership animals are eligible for Bred & Owned award as long as original breeder(s) and owner(s) maintains part ownership. Breeder is to be determined as the owner of the dam at the time of the service; where a herd is registered in the names of different members of a family residing on one farm, and everyone is using the same prefix, all entries may be considered as Bred and Owned by Exhibitor.

Junior Bred and Owned: To be eligible for Junior Bred & Owned, the name(s) listed as breeder and owner on the registration certificate must be the same. Adult-Junior partnerships are not acceptable. Partnerships will not qualify for Junior Bred & Owned awards unless all partners are WHA junior members and listed on the certificate under breeder and owner. Original breeders must all still be junior members.

Production Awards: This award is optional at the District Shows. In all cow classes, except the Junior & Senior 2-Year-Olds, the cow with the highest 305 day milk production record will be recognized. ­­The recognition will be based solely on total milk production without regard to the milking frequency or the testing program. Records will be verified at the time of check-in with an official ICR or herd test sheet or an official pedigree.

Best Udder: This award is optional at the District Shows. A Best Udder ribbon will be awarded in all milking cow classes. The Best Udder cow in each of the milking classes will compete for Best Udder of the Show.

In case of a tie, additional animals will be counted, one at a time, until the tie is broken.

Breeder Defined: The owner of the dam at the time of service shall be considered the breeder of the animal. Where a herd is registered in the names of different members of a family, and where the herd is one unit, all entries may be considered as exhibits of one breeder. Otherwise, when animals are bred in partnership, each unique partnership is considered a unique breeder.

Premier Exhibitor Award: The exhibitor winning the most points on four (4) animals, all owned and exhibited in the single classes, shall be designated the Premier Exhibitor. All exhibitors will be eligible for this award, and no entry is required. In classes with ten or less animals, no more than two head per breeder will be counted toward premier points.

THE PUREBRED DAIRY CATTLE ASSOCIATION SHOW RING CODE OF ETHICS Please visit the PDCA website at www.purebreddairycattle.com/pages/Literature.php to read the complete Show Ring Code of Ethics.

The showing of registered dairy cattle stimulates and sustains interest in the breeding of registered dairy cattle. It is also an important part of the promotion, merchandising and breeding program of many breeders. For these reasons, the Purebred Dairy Cattle Association (PDCA) believes that it is in the best interest of all breeders of registered dairy cattle to maintain a reputation of integrity in dairy cattle shows and to present a wholesome and progressive image of dairy cattle in the show ring.

PDCA endorses this Show Ring Code of Ethics for all dairy breed shows and pledges its full cooperative support for its enforcement to show management, show judges, and the national breed associations.

The application of this Code of Ethics provides for absolute responsibility for an animal’s condition by an owner, exhibitor, fitter or participant whether or not he or she was actually instrumental in or had actual knowledge of the treatment of the animal in contravention of this Code of Ethics. Dairy cattle exhibitors shall, at all times, deport themselves with honesty and good sportsmanship.

It is recognized that there are certain practices in the proper care and management of dairy cattle that are necessary in the course of moving dairy cattle to and between shows that are advisable to keep them in a sound, healthy state so they might be presented in the show ring in a natural, normal condition. At all times, exhibition livestock shall be treated in a humane manner and in accordance with dairy quality assurance practices so as to protect the health, safety and welfare of the livestock and the consuming public. No person shall present for exhibition or exhibit an animal which he or she knows, or has reason to suspect, is affected with or has been exposed to a dangerously contagious or infectious disease, or illegal or nonapproved use of drugs, medication and/or prohibited substance, or residue.

The position of the Purebred Dairy Cattle Association is that all animals presented for exhibition shall be in their natural conformation and structure, free of any alteration or modification by injection or internal or external administration of any substance or by any involvement in unethical fitting.

EXHIBITOR RESPONSIBILITY The act of entering an animal in a livestock show is the giving of consent by the owner, exhibitor, fitter and/or absolutely responsible person (hereinafter referred to as “Exhibitor”) for show management to obtain any specimens of urine, saliva, blood, milk, or other substances from the animal to be used in testing. Materials may also be collected by ultrasound and photographic methods and by direct examination of animal.

The act of entering an animal is the giving of consent by the owner, exhibitor, fitter and/or absolutely responsible person (the “Exhibitor”) to have disciplinary action for violation of this Show Ring Code of Ethics taken by show management, the state in which the show occurs, and/or the national dairy breed association without recourse.

WISCONSIN DAIRY SHOWCASE SHOW RING POLICY The following practices or procedures are unacceptable in the showing of Registered dairy cattle: 1. criticizing or interfering with the judge, show management or other exhibitors, or other conduct detrimental to the breed or show; 2. misrepresenting the age or ownership of an animal or the number of calvings and/or stage of lactation; 3. surgically or unethically inserting any matter under the skin or into any body cavity to change the natural contour or appearance of the animal’s body is prohibited and is a violation of the showring policy and code of ethics. After 12 a.m. on the day in which an animal is to show, no administration of fluids by stomach pump is allowed, unless show management is notified, deemed therapeutically necessary, and is done under supervision of a Veterinarian.

4. balancing the udder by any means other than by leaving naturally produced milk in any or all quarters; 5. treating the udder internally with an irritant, counter-irritant, or any other substance to temporarily improve conformation; 6. overfilling or overbagging of udders; 7. treating the udder externally with an irritant, counterirritant, or any other substance to temporarily improve conformation (allowable practices/substances include sealing and setting teats, but not shrinking/shortening of teats); 8. treating the animal, particularly the udder, internally or externally, with an irritant or counterirritant, or other substance to artificially improve the confirmation (this is to include any external pressure applied to the udder crease to artificially enhance it, i.e. roping).

9. administering epidural anesthesia (blocking tails) and/or applying any irritant either externally or internally to the perineal (rectum and vagina) area; 10. inserting foreign material/articles under the skin, into the topline or on the feet (Administration of acceptable medications is permitted.); 11. performing surgery of any kind to change the natural contour of appearance of the animal’s body, hide or hair. Not included is the removal of warts, teats and horns, clipping and dressing of hair and trimming of hooves; 12. draining fluid from hocks unless authorized by a veterinarian at the show.

13. Excessive manipulation of hair and/or the use of any hair not naturally attached to the animal or the use of any substance or material which is intended to resemble or imitate hair. We will follow the rules and guidelines set forth by WDE. 14. mistreatment of animals; 24 – Wisconsin Holstein News – April/May 2021

15. any un-sportsmanshiplike conduct during the event.

MONITORING PROCEDURES The Ethics Committee, as defined below, shall have the authority to inspect all animals to determine if violations of the Wisconsin Holstein Association Show Ring Policy have occurred. To help in this regard, the Ethics Committee has the authority to perform and review results of the following: 1. When applicable, an ultrasound examination of the udder of selected animals immediately upon completion of respective milking class competition. It shall be the exhibitor’s responsibility to deliver selected cow to the designated testing area. Within a reasonable time following said testing, the ultrasound official shall submit his/her report to WHA. If an animal fails to show up for ultrasounding with a full udder, show placings will be revoked and reported to Holstein USA All-American contest officials.

2. a milk out of any individual cow and/or 3. the collection and testing of any of the animal’s body fluids and/or 4. the use of any other technology that may be useful in determining if a violation in any animal based on placement, random selection, or suspect characteristics.

5. The Ethics Committee or show chairman may, at any time, require the delivery to them of any hair samples or hypodermic syringe, needle, or other device, swabs, cloths, or other material, or samples or any medicine, preparation, or substance, whether in liquid or other form, in the possession or control of exhibitor, fitters, agents or person acting on behalf of the exhibitor for laboratory analysis.

ENFORCEMENT PROCEDURES 1. Local and District Chairs may appoint an Ethics Committee to monitor violations at any state sponsored shows. The Ethics Committee will be anonymous.

2. Complaints of alleged violations must be presented to the Show Chair or a member of the show management of the respective show immediately, except ultrasound results as noted above.

3. If it is suspected that a violation will occur if an animal is shown, the exhibitor will be informed by show managment that the showing of that animal may result in a violation of the WHA Show Ring Policy. If the exhibitor decides not to show that animal, no violation will have occurred.

4. All complaints of alleged violations (as is designated in Enforcement Procedure point #2) received by the Show Chairman or a member of the show management must be presented to the Wisconsin Holstein Association for review by an Ethics Committee within five (5) days of receiving notice of alleged violations, with the Ethics Committee to make a decision on the violations within ten (10) days of receiving such notice.

5. The WHA Executive Director will notify the accused exhibitor immediately of the Ethics Committee decision that a violation has occurred and all the supportive evidence will be shared with the exhibitor. Within thirty (30) days, the WHA Executive Committee shall review the findings from the Ethics Committee and make a recommendation to the WHA Board of Directors of the disciplinary action. The exhibitor will be able to participate in the Executive Committee meeting. The WHA Board of Directors shall meet on the same day to review the findings from the Ethics Committee, recommendations from the Executive Committee and hear any presentation the exhibitor wishes to present.

6. The accused exhibitor must notify WHA within seven (7) days of receiving the violation notice of their intent to participate in the Executive Committee and/or the WHA Board of Directors meeting, which is set for reviewing the evidence of the alleged violation(s) and the disciplinary action to be taken.

7. If the alleged violator is found in violation of the WHA Show Ring Policy, the WHA Board of Directors, at its discretion may pass onto the violator(s) its costs associated with the violations, enforcement and review of violation(s).

Costs associated with the review and/or appeals process must be paid in full; if this assessment is not paid in full the violator(s) will not be in “good standing” with the WHA and therefore be denied any and all membership benefits of the association (voting, showing, etc.).

8. WHA Board of Directors &/or the Ethics Committee may consider previous violations by an exhibitor in their decision of disciplinary action. (see*) 9. An animal found in violation of the WHA Show Ring Policy will receive no premium monies or awards or placing(s).

10. Under the Rules of the Show, the exhibitor agrees to accept as final and abide by the decision of the WHA Board of Directors. If the appeal of the exhibitor results in a modification of the position of the WHA Board of Directors, the exhibitor will be notified of the change in writing at such time.

11. During this entire process the WHA Board of Directors, the Ethics Committee, its staff and members will not be obligated to maintain confidentiality.

WISCONSIN MADISON

Animal & Dairy Sciences SENIOR SPOTLIGHT Name: Jessica Noble Hometown: Burlington, WI School: Burlington Class Size: 280 Farm: Lone Chestnut Farm Major: Dairy Science with a certificate in Agricultural Business Why did you decide to attend UW-Madison?

UW-Madison has an outstanding reputation for creating new pathways within the dairy industry. UW has a lot of faculty that has taken part in research that has propelled the industry forward and I wanted to be a part of that.

What has been your most memorable college experience? My favorite experience was a Collegiate Farm Bureau study tour to California. We were able to see so many different aspects of agriculture, from sheep processing to olives. From almonds to California dairies, we saw all different crops and animals. It was very refreshing to see many different types of agriculture that Wisconsin does not have.

What has been your favorite course? My favorite course has been Dairy Science 233 or 234. These herd management classes have been some of the most practical classes to take when going into dairy production. I was able to get a better understanding of a whole farm thinking for running a dairy.

What are your future career goals? I will be returning to my family’s dairy farm in southeastern Wisconsin. I will be running the operation with my father and younger brother. I am excited to become a partner in the operation and look forward to an ever changing dairy farm.

During the meeting we discussed the cheese curd stand, scholarship fundraising and new construction plans at the fairgrounds.

The 2020 Thurman Craig Scholarship winners were Olivia Horn and Matthew Fischer. Both are great individuals who are in their freshman years of college.

2021 will consist of getting back on track. We will be having an annual meeting, touring Badger Holsteins and preparing for the upcoming summer fair.

Treasurer: Aubrey Behling; and Reporter: Brooke Jacob Due to the pandemic, most of the activities we had planned in 2020 were canceled, however, we were fortunate to be able to still have our annual calf raffle. There was a total of 14 prizes awarded with the grand prize being a choice of four calves consigned by various members of our organization. Nathan Osborn was fortunate to have his name drawn as the grand prize winner and he chose Sky-Reach Fuel Wilma, a fall calf consigned by Hank and Shannon Boschma.

Sales Reports Kleinsview Milking Herd & Bred Heifer Dispersal

Troy & Kasey Klein, Waldo, Wisconsin dispersed their milking herd and springing heifers along with a handful of heifer calves on Sept. 15, 2020 at the Great Northern Sales Area.

The high seller found her way back to Sheboygan County with a final bid of $4,200 placed by Erin Jens, Sheboygan Falls. This red Adonis fresh with her third calf and milking 110 pounds is a daughter of the queen of the herd, Kleinsview Destn Velvet-Red EX94 3E and Junior All-American R&W in 2017. Another sale highlight was the red Jacot bred heifer from an EX-93 3E Advantage. Due in December to Unstopabull-Red, this impressive heifer sold to Andy and Sarah Lenkaitis, St. Charles, Ill., for $3,700. Claiming the title of third high seller was a herd favorite, Kleinsview Dfnt Devlegg-Red VG-87. At 2-11 she made 24,650 3.3 821 and is backed by VG-88 and EX-92 dams.
