President’s Message

By Curtis VandenBerge

When I was asked to be the next president of California Holstein Association I was excited to lead our association into the future. I have always admired the junior and youth participation that goes on inside our association. Cultivating these young minds to support the industry in the future is always a wonderful task to hold. This past February we brought our State Holstein Convention to Tenaya Lodge in Fish Camp California. The place was buzzing with activity from the annual staples of Dairy Bowl and Dairy Jeopardy to the new contests that included making a grilled cheese sandwich and presenting it to a panel of judges.

The winter landscape hit just perfect. There was snow falling from the sky and ice skating for anybody who was brave enough to try. Watching some California kids play in the snow for the first time was enjoyable.

Evening activities included having our annual state sale on Friday night with a respectable average of $4230 on 48 lots. The High selling lot was Lot 11 for $13,900, an IVF Session from No-Limit Pazzle Angel. Consigned

by Durrer Dairy and MB Luckylady Farm then purchased by Genosource.

Saturday had many events going on including a presentation and question session by Jonathan and Alicia Lamb about everything they are doing at Oakfield Corners Dairy. Saturday evening was time for our senior banquet at which time we presented all the junior awards from the weekend. The 2024 Doug Maddox Senior Breeder award was

presented to Richard Denier for efforts he has made to promote some of the leading single name cows of the breed. The 2024 AJ Quist Young Breeder of the Year was presented to Louie and Stephanie Borba for all their accomplishments. Next year we look forward to Redwood Empire Holstein Club hosting the State Convention followed by Merced Club in 2026.

State Holstein show was held a little bit earlier this year in Tulare California. We were blessed with wet weather during this event as well. The show went off perfectly with many youth involved alongside our senior showmen. Aaron Eaton did a great job sorting through all the animals and picking Balmoral Control Jezebel showed by Frank and Diane Borba as his Grand Champion. Next years show will head back north and details will be set at our planning conference on October 26.

As we look forward the remaining events in 2024 I would like to congratulate all the juniors who will be heading to the National Convention in Utah representing California. Hold your heads high and be proud of who you are and what you represent.

This fall we will be launching our very first On Farm Challenge. This will be a great way for breeders to get their very best cows looked at and compared to other herds around the State. The classes will be broken down by lactation and a judge will arrive at your dairy where the cows work and perform everyday. Details are still in progress but start thinking now about who you think might be in your group to present.

LtoR: Tony Cabral, Jason Vieira, Donavan Miguel, Tony Garcia Jr., Robert Teixeira, Curtis VandenBerge, Terianne Silveira, Bill Genasci, Frank Gambonini, Graisson Schmidt,

I would like to recognize two very important people to our organization.

First being Anthony Souza. Anthony was the previous president before myself completing his second term as president. We cannot thank him enough for the time he has and continues to put into California Holstein.

Second being Kate Texeira. Kate handles all of the little details that need to get done to make sure our events happen. There are plenty of times I call her about a detail that I forgot only to find out that she has already taken care of it. Whenever you see her at a Holstein function be sure to give her the appreciation that she deserves.

Our industry in California is always changing.

From the volatility of prices and profitability to the members who keep us a active association. I would like to reassure every member of California Holstein Association that we are here for the long haul. The fun activities and social gatherings are only a bonus to the incredible cattle that we breed and take care of everyday. California Holstein cows will continue to be recognized world wide as a important part of the Holstein breed and our breeders are the reason we are who we are. Keep up the good work and taking care of Gods blessings.

Curtis VandenBerge

National Director’s Message

By Bill Genasci

The dairy industry has been pretty rough on everyone this year, and I have been trying to think of all the ways it has positively affected my life. I’m sure many of you will recognize these, and many will be able to add more.

First, it provided a great way to raise a family. My children had responsibilities, and we had expectations. They grew up with a good work ethic, knew how to take directions, respected their elders, and understood that teamwork helped make the job both easier and quicker. These lessons served them well as they matured. They have each found a career that they enjoy, a wife that they love, and have given us 12 terrific grandchildren.

It has allowed me to make friends all over our country. The immediate bond we have over the Holstein cow leads us to find many other ways that we connect. Being able to congratulate them when things are going well, support them when things aren’t, help them when it’s needed, and comfort them when things are overwhelming are blessings we have both given and received. This industry has provided many great friends to share our life with, and we are grateful.

The dairy industry has presented many opportunities to grow as an individual. The good times (our 100th anniversary sale), the bad times

(when 430 cows died of botulism) which turned into good times when friends In the industry and others donated cattle to help get us back on our feet. Managing employees has been both a joy and a train wreck. Every situation taught us a lesson.

The positives outweighed the negatives, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. For us the Registered Holstein cow opened up other opportunities to travel and meet people in allied industries. It also provided extra income when we had surplus cattle to sell.

With some feed products declining in price, milk prices appear to be getting better, prices for excess cattle holding very well I hope the industry will turn around and become profitable again for everyone.

In the meantime embrace the good memories, and God Bless You All. If you have any questions or comments I can be reached at (209) 7657111 or genace1@aol.com.

Holstein Association USA Field Representative Holstein Association USA continues to offer a plethora of products, programs, and services to help Registered Holstein breeders be successful. Whether you’re using staple programs like Registration and classification, ordering custom ear tags and genomic testing through your Association, or utilizing TriStar or TriSTar AMR to manage your production records and market your genetics, Holstein Association USA has many different tools to help maximize your herd’s potential.

Beyond our traditional programs and services, Holstein Association USA continues to build upon more recent additions to Holstein Association USA’s portfolio that provide unique opportunities for our members.

For example, the Holstein Marketplace Sires program continues to grow.

We were happy to welcome three new bulls to the Holstein Marketplace Sires program this spring. The recent additions include 712HO01030 Coldsprings Jitters-PP-ET, bred and owned by Coldsprings Farms of New Windsor, Maryland; 712HO01028 Townlinceacre Lariat-ET, bred and owned by Townline Acres Holsteins in Birnamwood, Wisconsin, and 712HO01029 Arizona Kevin-ET, bred and owned by Arizona Dairy Company in Gila Bend, Arizona.

With bulls bred and owned by Registered Holstein breeders across the country, Holstein Marketplace Sires provides a unique avenue for Holstein breeders to market their genetics. Under this program, bull owners retain ownership of the bulls, and Holstien Marketplace Sires coordinates the marketing and sales of the bull’s semen. Contract your Regional Sales Representative or visit www.holsteinusa.com to place an order.

AgirTech Analytics (ATA) is another example of a tool dairy farmers can use to bolster their profit potential. Based in our backdoor in Visalia, California, ATA continues to provide many benefits to Holstein Association USA members. AgriTech Analytics is a DHIA certified Dairy Records Processing center. A division of Holstein Association USA, ATA offers same day turnaround on data received from DHIA service

providers.

ATA has a wide selection of reports and interfaces with several of the most popular herd management software systems. Having a direct line to the Brattleboro office, ATA works in conjunction with your Holstein Association to resolve issues that may arise with your dairy production records and understands why that data is important.

To switch to Agritech Analytics, simply tell your DHIA field service provider or Holstein Association USA Regional Sales Representative you’d like to transfer, and ATA will reach out you to help set up your preferences.

We continue to be proud of our Junior Holstein Association members and their many accomplishments. From the showring to the dairy bowl room, to the farm and everywhere in between, Junior members demonstrate a bright future for the dairy industry. The National Junior Holstein Association and Holstein Foundation offer a variety of opportunities for Junior members to make new friends, learn new things, and hone their skillset in many areas.

The 2024 National Holstein Convention will provide the perfect environment for Junior Holstein members to gather, make new friends, compete in contests, stretch themselves, and have fun. A special congratulations to California’s very own Lauren Silveira who is being recognized as a National Young Distinguished Junior Member at this year’s convention. Best of luck to all the other California Juniors competing in Dairy Bowl, Dairy Jeopardy, and other competitions at Convention!

JOEY AIROSO PRESENTED KLUSSENDORF AWARD Joey Airoso of Pixley, Calif., was presented the 81st Klussendorf Award, the highest recognition given to a dairy cattle showman in the United States during the 56th World Dairy Expo. Airoso certainly has all the attributes of previous Klussendorf winners with the qualities of character, sportsmanship, ability, and endeavor.

The award is given in memory of Arthur B. Klussendorf, considered an outstanding showman of his time and a model for all those who have followed him. This year’s selection was made by members of the Klussendorf Memorial Association, formed in 1937, at its annual meeting held earlier this week in Madison, Wis. Airoso received the silver trophy designed by Tiffany Jewelers of New York City.

Airoso is a fourth-generation dairyman who manages one of the nation’s largest Registered Holstein herds. He is the managing partner for the family farm that milks an outstanding group of 2,600 cows and farms 1,600 hundred acres of alfalfa, corn, and wheat in California’s Central Valley. As nominators Stuart Row, Gilbert Texiera, and Ken Melvold and past Klussendorf winners shared, “One would be hard-pressed to find a more popular person showing cattle with his engaging personality and willingness to help anyone in need at a show.”

For nearly 60 years, this Pixley, Calif., native has shown cattle throughout the West Coast and has made several trips east to World Dairy Expo. His accomplishments include showing numerous All-California winners, a number of Western National Champions, and several All-American nominations over the last four decades. An accomplished showman, Airoso has been acknowledged by his peers by being awarded the 10 « CALIFORNIA ANNUAL 2024

coveted Al Hay Award at the Western National Show and was named the California State Fair Livestock Man of the Year in 2017.

Airoso has judged numerous shows throughout the United Stated including the Wisconsin State Fair Junior Holstein Show, the largest Holstein show in North America.

A tremendous supporter of youth, Airoso was an instrumental servant leader who stepped up to create a win after the Western Livestock Show was canceled in 2012 due to lack of funding from the State of California. Not wanting to see this event go away, Airoso and other members of the South Joaquin Holstein Association came through to breathe life into the Western Classic Dairy Show. Now held annually in Tulare, California, the event has become the largest junior dairy cattle show in California and attracts over 300 head exhibited by 200 juniors ages five to 21.

The Klussendorf Award was developed to recognize those who exemplify a person with great character, sportsmanship, and dedication to dairy cattle shows. Joey Airoso certainly has all these attributes, and that is why he was selected as the 81st Klussendorf winner.

Doug Maddox Memorial Senior Breeder of the Year It’s only fitting that the Doug Maddox Memorial Senior Breeder Award Winner, Richard Denier, quotes Doug when asked about the philosophy of his breeding program. “Doug always said that ‘like begets like’ and that simple statement shaped everything we did when we got back involved with registered cows about ten years ago,” says Richard.

on the sale, but more importantly, realized there was potential in buying proven cows, flushing them and marketing the offspring.

“Instead of paying $1,400 an embryo, I thought it would be better to buy the factory. I’ve got 900 heifers out here to use as recipients,” notes Richard.

And so, Richard dove back into the purebred Holstein business. One of his first purchases Richard grew up on the Cal-Denier was Micheret Alexandra Sid EX-94. “She was family dairy located in Galt. He credits a great cow and made beautiful heifers. After his involvement with cattle judging and that, I just determined that I had to buy some leadership programs in FFA as a choice that of the best cows in the breed from some of changed and guided his life.

Sometimes people meet at just the right time in life. Such is the case with the AJ Quist Memorial Younger Breeder Award Winners, Louie & Stephanie Borba. Though they grew up in the same ‘neighborhood’, and though Louie knew Stephanie’s dad and brother, the two never met until 2007 through friends while enjoying an outing at Pismo Beach.

Louie grew up on his family’s Lumar Dairy Farms, which MB-Lucky Lady Farms was established by his parents, Luis and Maria, after they has a 1000-cow emigrated to the US from the Azores in 1969.

CALIFORNIA DAIRY YOUTH CHALLENGE The 2nd Annual Youth Challenge was held during the CA State Holstein Show and Spring Jersey Show! Designed to recognize young dairy enthusiasts in their work with showing cattle, encourage participation and promote friendly competition, while improving skills and knowledge.

This contest was open to all youth ages 9-21 and consisted of three equally weighted portions: · A Dairy Judging Contest of 4 classes utilizing the tremendous quality cattle on the grounds for the show tested juniors’ type analysis skills · A written exam covering practical husbandry knowledge and questions sourced from the Holstein Foundation workbook series · Showmanship placing New in 2024, an interview portion was added. Youth met with an industry professional at their cattle to present and describe their project. The fitting contest was revamped to a “bring your own calf’ format to allow more diverse participation. This was an optional part of the Youth Challenge.

These positive changes were sparked by Junior club discussion and leadership on the officer team.

Junior Presidents’ Message Hello my name is Jon Chapman and I am happy to be serving as your 2024-25 California Junior Holstein Association Co-President along with Lauren Silveira. I am 18 years old and a 10th generation dairy farmer from Turlock. I am currently dual enrolled at Merced College and Modesto Junior College. My involvement with the Holstein cow has provided many opportunities. I have learned responsibility, hard work, determination, and compassion through taking care of our animals. As a member of the California Junior Holstein Association for the past 9 years I have expanded my leadership capabilities, knowledge in dairy bowl, improved study & research skills, and practiced public speaking.

In attending Holstein association events, I have had the chance to meet and build friendships with other youth, as well as interact with industry professionals and Holstein breeders. Showing cattle has allowed me to be an ambassador for production agriculture in communicating with the public and educating consumers. I continually strive to build my herd and develop high end genetics.

•

The State Holstein Show is held in April and showcases youth exhibitors. The Youth Challenge Contest was established in 2022 and now offers five components- showmanship, knowledge exam, judging contest, and new this year- the interview and fitting contests. The 2024 State Junior Show had 68 exhibitors.

•

Junior Holstein Show Contest is a state version of ‘All-Americans’ recognizing animals shown successfully throughout the year.

Please reach out to one of us, a CJHA officer from your area, or one of the Junior Advisors to inquire about programs and learn more! Our officer team is looking forward to engaging with membership more on social media platforms in the coming year. A new Instagram page has been developed this spring- @cajrholsteinassociation

I would like to personally extend an invitation to all of our current (and prospective!) CA Junior Holstein members to participate in the various activities offered throughout the year. There are many ways to get involved and have fun.

BREEDER OF THE FUTURE AWARD WINNERS BREEDER OF THE FUTURE BOY Fourteen year old Kestin Martin of Tulare, CA, is the 2024 Breeder of the Future Boy. Matthew has been a member of the South San Joaquin County Holstein Association for the last 9 years.

Kestin began showing at the Western Dairy Classic at just 5-years-old, and even when he heifer got spooked and drug him across the ring, he didn’t let go, and has had a firm hold on his showing career since then!

He owns 12 Registered Holsteins, of which he has bred 7 of them. In 2023, Air-Osa Abblely 31861-Red was Nominated Junior All-American R&W Winter Yearling. She was also named All-California R&W Winter Yearling and was Junior Champion of the Junior R&W and Holstein State Shows.

Additionally in 2023, DJKK Dream Molly was named the Champion Bred & Owned heifer of the Western Spring National Junior Holstein Show and was Reserve Junior Champion. She was also the Junior All-California Spring Yearling for Kestin.

Kestin has participated in local, state and national showmanship contests for the last several years with tremendous success. In 2023, he was the Champion Intermediate FFA Showman at the Tulare County Fair, Reserve Intermediate Showman at the Western Spring National Show, California State Show and Western Classic. In 2021, he participated at the World Dairy Expo Showmanship Contest, placing 8th in the junior division. He attended in 2022 as well, placing 5th overall in the junior division.

Beyond the show ring, Matthew is also an accomplished Dairy Judge. Most recently, he was the 2nd high FFA individual at the 2024 Western Classic Judging Contest. He was also the 4-H (reasons) High Individual at the 2023 Western Classic Judging Contest. Combining his dairy judging, dairy knowledge and showmanship skills, he placed 2nd at the California Dairy Youth Challenge in 2023.

Kestin also participates in multiple other extra-curricular activities such as Math Super Bowl Team, swimming, water polo, and is an accomplished student in the classroom. “ I am very passionate about breeding high quality show heifers that can compete at national levels and go on to be solid foundation cows for my herd,” Kestin said in his application. “One thing I enjoy most is getting to speak with industry role models about bloodlines and successful show cattle sires that I can use to improve my herd.”

YOUNG BREEDER OF THE FUTURE GIRL This year’s Breeder of the Future Girl is 11-year-old Emma Miguel of Hilmar, CA. She has been a member of the Hilmar Colony 4-H Club for three years.

She is also an active member of the California Junior Holstein Association, participating in dairy bowl, dairy jeopardy and the speech contest. She was on the 2nd place Novice Dairy Bowl team in 2023 and 2024, and was 3rd high individual in the written exam in 2024. Emma also enjoys speaking about her dairy project, and has had success in the public speaking arena.

She was the winning Novice participant in 2023 and placed 2nd at the 2024 Junior Convention.

She owns seven registered Holsteins and enjoys working with her project animals. Even though her parents sold their dairy, they have continued to purchase cattle for Emma and her siblings to continue showing. In 2023, she had 4-H Grand Champion Holstein at the Stanislaus County Fair.

Emma has also participated at the Western Classic Dairy Show, California State Holstein Show, Merced Fair, Los Banos Fair, and Western Dairy Showcase. Emma has participated in showmanship at many of these events, with her highest placing to date of 2nd.

She is very involved in her 4-H group, helping at the milk barn during the Merced Fair. She has participated in the pizza fundraiser and helps put flags up around Hilmar during 4th of July.

Beyond her dairy projects, she participated in cooking in 4-H. She also maintained a 4.00 GPA during the 2022-2023 school year. She has been a Queen for OLM + Gustine Pentecost Fiesta and a Sidemaid for Atwater Fiesta. She is active in her church as well.

Gold Medal Dam Recognition

Dam of Merit Recognition

· A cow and at least three of her daughters must have been classified. · The cow herself must be milking in a herd participating in TriStarSM service option. TriStar published records are used in the evaluation. · Equal emphasis is placed on production and type. In addition, there is equal emphasis on progeny and dam performance.

- Dam’s age adjusted final score - Dam’s average 2X 305 day ME production records - Average of daughters’ age adjusted scores - Average of daughters’ ME production records. · Separate cutoffs are determined by birth year of the dam. ME production will only be calculated on actual records of 270 days in length or greater for the cow and her progeny.

If the cow, herself, does not qualify on a mature equivalent basis, she may qualify on either one of the following lifetime credits: - 200,000 pounds of milk, or - 7,200 pounds of fat, or - 6,400 pounds of protein · Automatic evaluation is done twice a year for all cows 87% RHA or higher that were born in the past 25 years. The GMD award is permanent recognition.

In order to be recognized as a Dam of Merit (DOM), a cow must have a GTPI® or CTPI exceeding year of birth cutoff and at least three offspring with a PTA for production and type; the GTPI or CTPI must be calculated using a required classification score.

Remembering Friends LOUIS RICHARD CALCAGNO Louis Richard Calcagno passed away peacefully in his home overlooking the beautiful Elkhorn Slough on August 31st, 2023. His wife and childhood sweetheart of 67 years, Carol, was by his side and holding his hand as he left this world to be in Heaven with his parents, his brother John, and his sister Bella.

Louis, known as “Lou” to most, was born on his ranch in Moss Landing in the upstairs of the family home on June 30, 1936, to his Genovese immigrant parents, Peter and Clara Calcagno. Lou’s father, Peter Calcagno, came to the USA on a boat from Italy in 1917 with his Uncle Nick Delfino. In 1926, his father and Uncle purchased a farm in Moss Landing and began their vegetable farming business, which would eventually become Moon Glow Dairy. Lou always had a passion for animals. While attending Salinas High School, Lou was an active member of Future Farmers of America, showing dairy cattle at local fairs, a member of the livestock judging team and was President of the Salinas FFA Chapter. Carol Lanini, later to be Lou’s wife was an active member of the Hartnell 4-H Club and showed Southdown sheep at local fairs. Together with their love for animals and each other, they developed an inseparable bond. After graduating from Salinas High School, Lou, along with his first cow, Rosemary, attended Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, where he majored in Dairy Manufacturing and worked in the Cal Poly Creamery. Lou was also President of the Cal Poly Dairy Club. While writing this obituary, Carol said that Lou still has Rosemary’s #28 neck chain number in his top desk drawer! While at Cal Poly, Lou missed Carol so much, that he came home and married her and then immediately brought her to the “Cow Palace Dairy Show” in San Francisco for their honeymoon because he had been chosen at Cal Poly to be in charge of the Dairy Department at the Cow Palace. Quite a Honeymoon for two animal lovers! Upon leaving Cal Poly, Lou and Carol came home to Moss Landing with 15 cows in tow and started their dream dairy business and family.

Even as a young man, Lou was passionate about politics and the conservation of farmland and water. He won first place in a National FFA Public Speaking Contest while at Salinas High School with his speech on “Conservation of Water in the Western States”. By the 1990’s, Lou had become a national dairy industry leader and was President of the National Dairy Promotion Board. Lou’s success as a political figure in the dairy industry led to his appointment, by Governor Pete Wilson, to the California Coastal Commission. When Lou ran for Monterey County Supervisor in the late 1990’s, he planned on only serving a single term, but he was passionate about so many key issues, he decided to run for re-election again, and in the end served four terms.

Lou never pursued the position for financial gain. He truly loved the land and was passionate about protecting Monterey County for future generations.

During his political career, Lou was proudest of the work he did bringing Castro Plaza and the Andy Ausonio Library to Castroville, the opening of Pajaro Park, his roles in the Monterey County Ag Land Trust, the Elkhorn Slough Foundation and AgKnowledge and FocusAg, where he and Carol and their family annually hosted busloads of future county leaders for an inspirational talk about the importance of agriculture and a tasty barbecue. He led the changes at Natividad Medical Center that narrowly avoided its closure; and, he was instrumental in the County’s acquisition of the Capital One facility in south Salinas that provided much needed space for the Elections Department, Records Storage and the Resource Management Agency while freeing space for the District Attorney, the Public Defender and other departments 68 « CALIFORNIA ANNUAL 2024

at the County Government Center. As a board member at TAMC, he led the charge for the Prunedale Improvement Project as well as the Salinas Road Interchange Project, which is considered one of the most beautiful highway projects in the state. As a board member of the Monterey County Water Resources Agency, Lou also prided himself on his work on the Salinas Valley Water Project and the Castroville Seawater Intrusion Project, which has kept thousands of acres of farmland in production in North County. When all is said and done Lou said that he wants to be remembered simply as someone who “cared for the community and the people who lived there and for agriculture and the agricultural heritage of the Salinas Valley.”

Lou is survived by his wife and childhood sweetheart of 67 years, Carol, his son Louie and wife Carolynn, his daughter Debbie Soares, his 3 grandchildren Adam Soares and Colleen, Lauren Singh and Raj and Jennifer Calcagno. Also his 3 great-grandchildren; Bradley, Audra and Sienna Soares and his step grandchildren, Tony Dahl and Tammy Dahl Mayes.
