“A GREAT MENTOR HELPS YOU TO ACHIEVE WHAT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE.” MARIELA DABBAH

FROM THE EDITOR

TAKE A SEAT & HAVE A VISIT! Every year, it catches me by surprise: how the calendar goes from roughly August 21st to November 21st in the space of about four days. How time can seem so variable over the summer, from just creeping along with the fall show season on the distant horizon, and then suddenly, you’re driving home from NAILE or the Royal.

One of the great pleasures of a week at Madison, or Louisville, or The Royal, is the serendipitous nature of whose path you will cross. It seems so often you can plan to meet someone at Expo, say, but never manage to connect during that busy week, but you will run across that friend you made showing cows at the county fair four decades ago!

When you have the joyful luck of those chance meetings, be sure to take the time to have a visit, even a brief one. The sad news that reached us shortly after Expo of the unexpected passing of Ronnie Mosser, unequaled Jersey enthusiast and all-around good man, drove home that lesson once again. I was so fortunate to have had a good chat with Ronnie in the barns at Madison; a visit filled with him sharing some Jersey knowledge and topped off by a good deal of laughter, as was typical of most conversations with Ronnie.

You never truly know when your ‘last’ conversation will be with a friend. We all can be satisfied with a wave and a ‘how are you?’ - I’m more guilty of this than most while racing around at an event - but when possible, it’s so good to stop and have at least a short chat. You’ll always learn something, and you’ll always have that memory to tuck away.

I think about people, aside from my parents, that I consider my mentors or that were influential to me over the years in this business: Karl Mueller, Nels Rehder, David Bachmann, Keith & Dawn Stump, Allan Barr, to name just a few. Some are gone now, and it’s interesting that the conversations I remember the most were the quieter ones that happened sitting on a show box or camped out ring side. That’s where I learned the most; where I listened more than I talked.

There’s such an incredible font of wisdom at our big shows - all tucked away in the brains of the outstanding cow people just walking around! If you’re watching the shows at Madison or at The Royal, take a chance and take a seat by somebody you don’t know, and strike up a conversation - you never know who you’ll meet and what you’ll learn. I wish everybody had that chance with Ronnie Mosser (although knowing Ronnie, maybe everybody did)!

Please enjoy the World Dairy Expo recap in this issue - another year of exhilarating dairy cattle shows. How the cattle keep getting better and the exhibitors keep turning them out better and better never ceases to amaze me!

I’m extending my personal thank you to World Dairy Expo. I had the distinct privilege of being on the inaugural live commentary team for the Holstein Show on ExpoTV, and I got to have on-air conversations and discussions with some of my favorite people!

What a joy! Hopefully, it was a positive addition to the week, and look for continued commentary from WDE next year!

Next issue will be our Louisville and Royal wrap-up, which then leads us into the All-American contest season! We hope you can join us in Nashville for the All-American Holstein and Jersey nomination announcement celebration; but if not, please tune in on Sunday afternoon, December 14th!

Thank you to all of the breeders and exhibitors for their tremendous efforts at all of the fall shows, and thank you to all of the enthusiasts that viewed our coverage, whether through the website, on social media or reading these print pages. Your support makes it all possible!

See you at ringside!!

GO-SHO CATTLE CO. Top-Tier Results Grown At Home Of all the show strings that had success during the week of World Dairy Expo, maybe no one string bookended it as well, or enjoyed it as much, as the team from Go-Sho Cattle Company.

David & Nina Schmocker, along with their daughters Tessa & Stella, and niece, Sadie Kropf stood toe-to-toe with perennial powerhouse show strings when it came to hauling home the hardware from three different shows.

was named the Supreme Champion of the World Dairy Expo Junior Show for 2025.

Their week started off with a bang on Sunday in the International Junior Holstein Show where they won the Spring Calf class with Go-Sho Detect Revenge-ET; stood in the top ten with their Summer Yearling, Spring Yearling, and Milking Yearling; stood 1st & 2nd in the Winter Senior Two-Year-Old class with their homebred full sisters Go-Sho Tatooed Justice-ET and Go-Sho Tatoos in Jericho-ET; and then won the Lifetime Production Cow class with Luck-E Merjack Asalia. It was already a full day even before Asalia went on to be tapped as the Senior and Grand Champion of the show!

Dave and Nina both will tell you that it costs a lot of money to run even a small farm, and Dave’s hoof trimming business makes it possible. “There’s so much work trimming feet - you just have to want to do the work. The business has been a blessing to us because it allowed Nina to stay home with the kids and allowed us to take care of our own cattle. But Nina does all the paperwork for the business, so I just have to go make money and it works perfectly,” states Dave.

That big momentum kept rolling on Monday morning into the International Jersey Show, where Tessa, Stella, Sadie along with Kenley Hawbaker exhibited the winning Fall Calf with Borderview Joel Velvet-ET. Velvet, an October heifer, topped the largest class of the show (38 head), and was pulled out for contention for Junior Champion of the Junior Show.

The team had a break until the International Holstein Show, where the excitement resumed. Go-Sho Detect Revenge-ET, now under the ownership of Pierre Boulet and Clarkvalley Holsteins, stood 1st in a class of 41 Spring Calves. Luck-E Hindsights 20-20 was the 5th-place Summer Yearling; Jericho and Justice both stood in the top ten of the Winter Senior 2-Year-Old class; and Luck-E Merjack Asalia was 2nd in the Lifetime Production Cow class.

Asalia hadn’t heard her name called quite enough yet that week, and following the Holstein show, at the conclusion of the Supreme Champion parade, she heard it once more as she

After that kind of week, there was quite a load of trophies and banners to haul back to the small Go-Sho operation just outside of Whitewater, Wisconsin, about 45 minutes southeast of Madison. It’s truly family-run with about 30-35 head on the sixacre farm, mainly Holsteins, with a sprinkling of Stella’s jerseys.

Dave Schmocker relates that the family set-up worked for them from the start. “We never sent our kids to daycare. Nina stayed home with the kids and took care of the farm. We usually milk between five and ten cows, pretty much all year round. We figured that out pretty quick - if you’re going to own them, you might as well milk them because if bad stuff happens, I’d rather it happen here.”

They readily confess that they keep their program pretty simple.

“You can’t spoil them, you know? Basically we feed them some grain, some corn silage, and let them go eat hay and be with other cows. Well fed, well bedded, and give them plenty of exercise. Our cows get outside on dirt and they climb up and down a hill every day. I can maintain their feet, and we can get them some tummy with long-stemmed hay. So, for us, the cow has to have a great udder, and after that, we can work on the rest,” states Dave.

Nina agrees. “Barry Quickfall always used to say cows aren’t porcelain dolls and cows aren’t meant to live in bird cages, so we stick to that and just let the cows be cows.”

Luck-E Merjack Asalia was crowned Supreme Champion of the 2025 World Dairy Expo Junior Shows for Tessa and Stella Schmocker.

The family effort doesn’t stop there; the girls are an active part of the program. “As far as chores go, I do all the milking and make sure what hay to feed and getting all the silage, but they do all the heifer chores which entails feeding them and pitching the pens,” notes Nina. “When we have herd checks or dehorning or a bigger project like that, then it’s all hands on deck. They break everything to lead, and do the rinsing every night and the blowing out before taking them on their walk down the road for show practice.”

The Schmockers credit that dedication and attention to detail as part of the reason they’ve risen to have some success at the highest levels. “We kind of started at the bottom and the girls used to be a little frustrated. So I took them to Ducketts, and to Milksource, and to Luck-E - those facilities and programs were eye-opening for them. But we’re doing it on a shoestring budget, right? So we told them if you want beat people like Eddie & Mandi Bue who are up every day at 3:30am and work until 8:00pm seven days a week in a fantastic facility; if you want to run with the big boys, then we’re going to have to at least work as hard. And in the last couple of years, they’ve really, really put the effort in and dedicated the time to it,” relates Dave.

Some of that determination and dedication comes to the girls honestly, as both Nina and Dave found their love for showing as teenagers. Nina grew up in Whitewater; her home farm is only about two miles from their current place. Her grandparents immigrated to the US from Germany between the world wars, and started farming in the area. Nina’s dad came back to the farm, married her mom, and together they developed their Black Lion herd. When Nina was in high school, they bought a few replacement heifers from Gary Thalacker of Thal-View Farms in Edgerton, WI. At the time, Thal-View won their fair share at the big shows, and Nina got to see the show barn, which really intrigued her.

“I had just graduated from high school, and I had saved some money - and took a loan out for the rest - and I bought three heifers from him. And, actually, some of the cattle we have now still trace back to those heifers,” says Nina.

From that connection, Nina started working for Thal-View at a few shows. “The first time I ever did night line was for Gary

Tessa, Nina, Stella and Dave Schmocker.

at their district show. He had Barry Quickfall and Christian (TiLousse) Roberge working for him, and they gave me this stern talk about making sure the animals stay clean and tidy. They were fundamental to my starting at the shows and learning the right way to do things,” recalls Nina.

She also credits the late Katie Coyne with getting her to venture further from home. “Katie said I needed to show down at Louisville, so she loaded her minivan up with those three little kids, and I loaded my mom & dad’s pickup with as much hay and stuff as we could, put the cattle on a pot, and off we went.

Expo is only 45 minutes away, so I had showed there, but this was the first time I had been out of state driving as far as that to a show.”

Dave also grew up with the immigrant story as his parents moved from Switzerland to Eastern Ontario in 1980, where they purchased a 40-cow Registered Holstein farm. The operation was a bit ahead of it’s time as it was a free-stall barn with a parlor, which was unusual for Canada in those years.

Dave caught the show bug early. “We went to the local fair - the Leeds County Holstein Show, and I stood there and watched Roger Turner clipping, and I just thought it was the coolest thing ever,” he remembers. “He was like my childhood idol.

His family had Railhaven Holsteins, and his cattle just looked different than everyone else. The straw in his pack was perfect.

His signs were perfect - no one else hardly even had signs!

Roger and Brian Carscadden, and Cameron MacGregor were the big-time fitters in our area, so I had some good guys to watch.”

The home operation, Bernerland Farms in Portland, Ontario, was in Eastern Breeders territory, and his parents always used a few young sires. From that, they had two of the first really good Hanover-Hill Jethro daughters, and Dave Massey, their Eastern Breeders semen salesman at the time talked Dave’s dad into doing some promotion with them. “Dave was a really good guy. He’d come over on the weekend and teach me to clip. Much of that was just telling me to ‘keep clipping any heifers you can catch and by the third time through, you’ll start to get the hang of it.’ Anyway, they pictured those two Jethro daughters at the farm, but then later they also trucked them into Ottawa and pictured them in front of the Parliament buildings, so after that, I was pretty much hooked,” laughs Dave.

RtoL: Go-Sho Tatooed Justice-ET & Go-Sho Tatoos In Jericho-ET are full sisters who stood 1st & 2nd respectively in the winter 2-year-old class at the International Junior Holstein Show for Tessa, Stella & Sadie.

When Dave was 16, he moved to Quebec where he really started fitting and learning to trim feet. “I spent a lot of time with Daniel Lussier, and with Bruce McNaughton, who taught me how to trim feet. I was in that Howick / Ormstown area of Quebec, so there were a bunch of good Ayrshire herds around there, such as Alex McCaig with Lashburn, and Allan Barr with LATE FALL 2025 · Page 9

“

Barry Quickfall always used to say cows aren’t porcelain dolls and cows aren’t meant to live in bird cages, so we stick to that and just let the cows be cows.”

Woodland-View. They kind of took me under their wing. Allan taught me that the care of good cattle is not as complicated as you think - you’ve just got to do the right things right,” reflects Dave. From there, his fitting and trimming skills have taken him throughout North & South America and Europe.

Nina and Dave first met at World Dairy Expo in 1999. Nina, then 19, was helping Thal-View and Dave, who was 24, was in charge of the Ayrshire Canada string. Nina was choring alone one morning, doing both the washing and the bedding, so the Ayrshire boys kept moving in and taking her wash rack spot.

Conflict was averted when they started washing her cattle as well, and Nina gave Dave another chance the next year when they were both tied in the Ayrshire barn. They really hit it off and it wasn’t long before Dave moved to Wisconsin in 2001, and they got married right away, and bought their current property in 2002. Along came Tessa in 2006, and then Stella in 2009.

Currently, Tessa is 19 and a freshman at Iowa State University, where she is studying actuarial science; and Stella is 16 and is a sophomore at Lakeside Lutheran High School. Also considered close members of the Go-Sho team are Nina’s sister, Lana and her husband, Eric Kropf. “Eric helps us out a lot because he likes to putter around the farm. He can jump in the skid steer and move things around. That really helps because I don’t have a 9-to-5 job. Often I leave in the dark and get home in the dark, so Lana and Eric are always willing to pitch in with things, and that’s a big help. We really couldn’t do it without them,” enthuses Dave.

The other big helper on the farm is Eric and Lana’s 9-year-old daughter, Sadie. “That’s the coolest part is that Sadie has really taken on a big role here. She’s never spent a day in daycare either. She’s been getting dropped off at Aunt Nina’s house ever since she was an infant,” say Dave. Nina agrees, “Now Sadie is in charge of feeding hutch calves. We kind of supervise her, but that’s an easy job for her because we give her a bottle. She knows exactly how much water they get; how much warm water they get; how much calf starter; if they need some bedding.

That kind of stuff. She’s a good size for the calf work,” Sadie Kropf with Go-Sho Detect Revengeexplains Nina.

- NINA SCHMOCKER 2025 certainly isn’t the first hardware the family has taken home from a top-tier show. A heifer they bred, but sold Expo week, was Junior Champion of the International Holstein Show in 2021 - Ms Rebas Raven Beauty. Another homebred was Reserve All-Canadian Summer Yearling in 2022 with Go-Sho Remedys Reminisce-ET. Their homebred EX-95 Go-Sho Like A Rolling Stone has twice been Grand Champion at NAILE and was nominated 5x for Junior All-American honors. And, of course, Asalia, now EX-96, who was nominated All-American Aged Cow in 2023 before further glory this year.

The journey with Asalia has been extra special as about a year ago, Nina thought the cow didn’t look right at the farm and she ended up getting septic joints. She ended up being on an IV for a week and a half before she fought her way through it.

She recovered to have a great Midwest Spring National Show, where she was the winning lifetime production cow and Grand Champion of the Junior Show. She came home from there and scored EX-96, and the Schmockers decided to give her a rest until Expo.

She had another hiccup in August when she needed a trip to the vet school at UW-Madison where they discovered she had some abscesses on her liver. “It’s unreal. She came back from there and she’s pretty much dry, but back here at home, she was milking 140 pounds a week later. She’s so tough. You just can’t knock her out,” admires Dave. Less than two months later, she stood in the spotlight as a Supreme Champion at Madison.

“We had such a good day in the open show with her, so that was already humbling,” says Nina. “But then standing there before Supreme when they’re doing the judging, was just an honor. Such good cows there and good people. Jim Ostrom made a point to come over to Tessa and telling her to enjoy the moment and cherish it. He didn’t have to do that, but it shows what good people the kids have been surrounded by.

Dave agrees wholeheartedly, “The Supreme thing was pretty unbelievable. Everybody’s hearts were racing, but what a thrill just to be in that spotlight. We’re a small team - me, Nina, the girls, Eric, Lana, Sadie, Darren Ropp, my old friend Erica Rijneveld from the Netherlands - so it was pretty amazing to share that with people that are so close to us.”.

WORLD DAIRY EXPO 2025 Sunny days and blue skies set the stage for World Dairy Expo 2025 in Madison, WI, which once again saw an increase in the number of cattle on the grounds and in the number of dairy cattle show exhibitors!

Memories of snowflakes and icy mornings on the wash rack continued to be just that - lore from years gone by - as the week offered up days in the 80s; uncomfortably warm at times for prepping show cattle, but glorious conditions for visitors to the grounds taking in the cattle and trade shows.

2,625 head of dairy cattle came from coast-to-coast across North America and the 1,829 exhibitors represented 37 US states, 7 Canadian provinces, and this year also included an animal with Australian ownership. Total head exhibited increased in the Ayrshire, Brown Swiss, Guernsey, Holstein and Junior Holstein shows in 2025.

Overall in-person attendance at the event was 51,525, which included 2,451 international visitors from 83 countries.

Brazil, Mexico, Netherlands, Colombia, and Canada sent the most foreign attendees.

Attendance numbers were down from 2024, undoubtedly influenced by the good harvesting weather in the Midwest. This was the first year that ExpoTV was offered as a paid subscription, and 2,866 paying viewers logged in from around the world.

The social media platforms for World Dairy Expo and industry media companies covering the event showed continued growth, which indicates a massive audience following along on phones and computers.

Another bright spot was the lively traffic and trade in the barns with many animals changing ownership throughout the week.

As always across the breed shows, old favorites had adoring fans sitting in the seats and new tanbark stars captured attention and acclaim.

AYRSHIRE Ayrshire exhibitors brought out 361 head in front of Judge Gregory Evans and Associate

Judge JP Charest for the International Ayrshire Show. With an increase of 42 head over the 2024 show and 78 head over 2023 numbers, it’s one of the fastest growing breed shows at Expo over the past two years.

The Senior & Grand Champion is no stranger to WDE banners - B-Wil Kingsire Willow won the 4-year-old class for owners Budjon Farms and Peter Vail of Lomira, WI. Last year, she was the Intermediate & Reserve Grand Champion, so her progression to the top spot could not be considered a surprise.

Coppenbarger Kingsire Trinity was this year’s Intermediate Champion that went on to be named Reserve Grand Champion for Terri Packard, Ernest Kueffner, and Peter Vail of Boonsboro, MD. Winner of the senior 3-year-old class, she has been a top-tier addition to a show string previously known for success with Jerseys and Holsteins.

Second to her in that senior 3-year-old class was Bricker-Farms King Cinderella, owned

by MilkSource Genetics, Josh & Samantha Fairbanks and Kurt & Michelle Wolf of Kaukauna, WI. Cinderella was tapped as Reserve Intermediate Champion, a repeat from 2024, and HM Grand Champion, and made it a sweep for Bear-Ayr Distinct Kingsire as sire of the three top champions.

Topping a massive 223-head heifer show as Junior Champion was Bricker-Farms R Cadillac-ET, a Reynolds daughter of Reserve Intermediate Champion, Bricker-Farms King Cinderella. She topped the Winter Yearling class and is owned by Todd, Lynsey, Allison, Lacey & Kinslee Bricker, Carli Binckley and Wyatt Schlauch of Salem, OH. Cadillac was also the Junior Champion of the Junior Show, and later in the week, was named Reserve Supreme Champion Heifer of the Junior Show for the 2025 World Dairy Expo. Miss Rejoice Reputation-ET, the 1stplace winter calf exhibited by Shocking Genetics, Katie Shultz & Jeff McKissick of Chambersburg, PA, won the Reserve

Junior Champion title, the same banner this Kingsire daughter captured at the PA AllAmerican Ayrshire Show in September.

In the Junior Show, it was a repeat of 2024 in the Grand Champion standings with a pair of lifetime production cows both hailing from Ohio that took home the banners again: Toppglen Wishful ThinkingET won her fifth Grand Champion title for Tanner, Brennan, Marissa, and Logan Topp of West Salem, OH, and Bricker-Farms Gibbs Carvella once again got the nod for Reserve Grand Champion, owned by Todd, Lynsey, Allison, Lacey and Kinslee Bricker and Carli Binckley of Salem, Ohio. Wishful Thinking would go on to be named the Reserve Supreme Champion of the Junior Show at the 2025 World Dairy Expo.

A pair of Reynolds daughters claimed the Intermediate Champion banners in the Junior Show, with Halls V-Lane SpectacleET, the 1st-place spring 2-year-old exhibited

by Ashton & Levi Wilcox of Varysburg, NY tapped as Intermediate Champion. The Reserve Intermediate Champion came out of the junior 3-year-old class - MM Reynolds Wynnow-ET, owned by C, C, O, E, & C Feltmann, and B Smith of Norwood Young America, MN. Lazy M Wish Applause-ET, the 2nd fall calf

by Wisher, was named the Reserve Junior Champion for Eden & Dayton Richter of Stitzer, WI. In September, she had been the Junior Champion at the Youth Dairy Classic Ayrshire Show in Iowa.

Bricker Farms of Salem, OH captured the Premier Breeder of the Heifer Show banner, while Peter Vail took home his fifth consecutive Premier Exhibitor of the Heifer Show award. Palmyra Ayrshires of Hagerstown, MD was named Overall Premier Breeder for the 4th time since 2018, and Peter Vail was also the Overall Premier Exhibitor of the show.

Marilie Autograph-ET won a second consecutive time as Premier Sire of the

Heifer Show, with 7 daughters placing in the top five of their heifer classes. Palmyra Lochinvar Reynolds took the Overall Premier Sire crown with eleven daughters in the top five throughout the show, with two cow class winners.

BROWN SWISS Iroquois Acres Jong Cali made a return to the Grand Champion spotlight, repeating her accomplishment from 2023. The winning component merit cow & Senior Champion owned by Brian Pacheco of Kerman, CA topped a 384-head International Brown Swiss Show officiated by Allyn ‘Spud’ Paulson and his associate, Brian Olbrich.

Reserve Senior & Reserve Grand Champion laurels were claimed by Robland Norwin Bermuda-ET, the 1st-place aged cow exhibited by Tony Kohls and Goldfawn Farm of Arlington, MN. This was also Bermuda’s second Reserve Grand Champion title at the show; she won her first as a senior 3-year-old in 2022. HM Senior & HM Grand Champion honors went to V B Phantom Sinister, who won the 4-year-old class for Voegeli Farm Inc. Earlier this summer, Sinister was named Grand Champion of the Wisconsin Summer Championship Show.

The breeder of the Grand Champion, Iroquois Acres of Bridport, VT, got the thrill of exhibiting the Intermediate Champion of the show, Jenlar FC Whipsaw-ET. She topped the junior 3-year-old class and is a First Choice daughter of brood cow extraordinaire Jenlar Carter Waltz, and was HM All-American Junior 2-Year-Old in 2024. The Reserve Intermediate Champion, Fairdale Kickstart Figgy, exhibited by Kylie & Micah Sparrow of Stamping Ground, KY was second to Whipsaw in that junior 3-yearold class, and was also the Intermediate Champion of the Junior Show.

Blessing Garbro Pistachio-ETV, the 1st-place fall calf exhibited by Logan & Chloe Duckett and Peter Vail of Rudolph, WI strolled to the Junior Champion title. She was followed in class by Jenlar Acclaimed Waikiki-ETV, who was tapped Reserve Junior Champion for owners Brianna & Abby Meyer of Chilton,

WI. Waikiki is another daughter of Carter Waltz. Prior to that Open Show title, Waikiki was named Junior Champion of the Junior Show.

In a show full of returning champions, TwinCounty Famous Diamond did her part by repeating her 2024 Senior & Grand Champion win in the Junior Show, and the 5-year-old wore those crowns once again in 2025 for her owner Dakota Fraley of Muncy, PA. The Reserve Senior and Reserve Grand Champion of the Junior Show stood next to Diamond in the 5-year-old class, Colebrook Creek Dt Alina, exhibited by Abigail Wilber of New Hartford, CT. Alina had been Grand Champion of the Premier National Junior Brown Swiss Show in Harrisburg, PA in September.

Following the aforementioned Fairdale Kickstart Figgy, Tristen Ostrom exhibited the Reserve Intermediate Champion of the Junior Show with his winning spring junior 2-year-old, Harvest Brz Els Windstorm.

Reserve Junior Champion of the Junior Show was the winning winter yearling, Ar-Line D Luscious Lady-ETV, leased and exhibited by Dana Johnson, and owned

by Ranae Herman of Tomah, WI. HM Junior Champion of the Junior Show was Jenlar Diego Wedding-ETV, 1st fall yearling owned by Tristen Ostrom of Kaukauna, WI, and another daughter of Carter Waltz Jenlar Brown Swiss of Chilton, WI took home three of the four Premier banners, being Premier Breeder & Exhibitor of the Heifer Show and Premier Breeder Overall.

Eleven animals carrying the Jenlar prefix stood in the top ten of their class, including three winners. Pit-Crew Genetics was the Premier Exhibitor Overall with ten animals in the top ten of their class.

Brown Heaven R Famous-ET claimed the Premier Sire of the Heifer Show title for a fourth straight year, and Hilltop Acres B Daredevil-ET captured his second straight Overall Premier Sire crown.

GUERNSEY The International Guernsey Show is another breed show that keeps gaining numbers, and this year 247 purebred Guernseys

paraded in front of Judge Mark Rueth and his Associate Judge Tina Vilter McDonald.

Many years ago, those two judges were partners in a breed-changing and fourtime WDE Grand Champion Guernsey cow named Westlynn Tom Dee. They both found stylish cattle they admired in the 2025 edition of the show, highlighted by their Senior & Grand Champion, Kadence Fames Lovely who topped the aged cow class for owners Kadence Farms of New Glarus, WI. Lovely was also the Champion Bred & Owned cow of the show and the Total Performance award winner. Lovely was the Unanimous All-American 5-YearOld in 2022 and was Grand Champion at the Midwest Guernsey Show in 2025.

Lovely’s herdmate, Donnybrook Ammo Stevie, the winning senior 3-year-old and Intermediate Champion, moved up to also lay claim to the Reserve Grand Champion banner for owners Brittany Taylor and Laylaa Schuler. Stevie was Grand Champion at the Wisconsin Spring Guernsey Show earlier this year and was the 2024 HM AllAmerican Senior 2-Year-Old. Stevie was also Intermediate and Grand Champion of the Junior Show.

Cape May Latimer Honey, who won the 4-year-old class for owner Savannah Thomas of West Liberty, OH, was named Reserve Senior Champion and HM Grand Champion of the show. In 2022, Honey claimed Intermediate Champion honors of the show after winning the summer junior 2-year-old class.

Reserve Intermediate of both the Open and Junior Shows and Reserve Grand Champion of the Junior Show was the winning senior 2-year-old, RHG Villa Breezy Venus-ET exhibited by Alison Gartman of Sheboygan, WI. Following her as HM Intermediate Champion of both the Open & Junior Shows was Hi Guern View Drone Antigua, owned by Alaina Dinderman of Orangeville, IL. Antigua was Champion Bred & Owned of the Junior Show as well.

Wil-San James Dean Tori-ET, 1st-place winter yearling along with her owners Cindy Bates and Lorrie Dietz of Southington, OH, had LATE FALL 2025 · Page 13

her photo taken with the Junior Champion banner as the best of 169 Guernsey heifers exhibited. Tori is no stranger to the winner’s circle this year, claiming Supreme Junior Champion honors at the Ohio Spring Show and taking home the Junior Champion banner at Harrisburg. The Reserve Junior Champion was the winning summer yearling, Prairie Moon Cadet Annie owned

by Mike Dilly of Dyersville, IA. HM Junior Champion of the Open Show was also the Junior Champion of the Junior Show - Adams Creek Boston-ETV, who won the spring yearling class for Kayleigh, Kelsey & Karlee Haag and Josie Varney of Dane, WI. Knapps Missile Teal-ETV, who was the 3rd-place winter yearling, was there Reserve Junior Champion of the Junior Show for owners Landree & Dakota Fraley of Muncy, PA. In the banner races, Valley Gem Farm of Cumberland, WI took home both Premier Breeder Overall and Premier Breeder of the Heifer Show. Perennial Guernsey show powerhouse, Springhill of Big Prairie, OH captured the Overall Premier Exhibitor banner, and Kayleigh Haag of Dane, WI captured the Premier Exhibitor of the Heifer Show award.

Springhill James Dean-ETV won the Premier Sire of the Heifer Show title for the second year in a row with 11 daughters in the top ten of their class, and also siring the Junior Champion of both the open and junior shows. Premier Sire Overall was Hi Guern View Levi Drone, who had a remarkable 25 daughters in the top ten of either heifer or cow classes.

HOLSTEIN The Holsteins turned out in big numbers int 2025, and the 468 total head parading on the colored shavings marked it as the largest breed show of the week once again. For the second year in a row, a pair of New York men handled the task of placing the International Holstein Show, as Judge Aaron Eaton and Associate Judge Pat Lundy worked through the two-day show that closes the week in Madison.

By the close of the show on Friday

Page 14 · COWSMO

afternoon, Judge Eaton selected a firsttime Expo winner as his Senior & Grand Champion: Lovhill Sidekick Kandy Cane, the winning 5-year-old exhibited by Alicia & Jonathan Lamb of Oakfield, NY. If her prefix sounds familiar, it’s because her close family member, Lovhill Goldwyn Katrysha, was Grand Champion of the International Holstein Show ten years ago in 2015. Breeders Michael & Jessica Lovich of Balgonie, SK have the unique honor of breeding two Holstein Grand Champions at World Dairy Expo. Kandy Cane was also Grand Champion at the Northeast Spring National Show earlier in the year, and following the Holstein Show, she was announced as the Reserve Supreme Champion of the 2025 World Dairy Expo.

The Reserve Grand Champion also held the Intermediate Champion title - the winning junior 3-year-old, West-Adub Lambda Sadie owned by Butlerview Farm of Chebanse, IL. The Reserve All-American Junior 2-Year-Old in 2024, Sadie won the largest cow class of the day before being named Intermediate Champion.

Eixdale Pwrup Alongside, exhibited by Milk Source Genetics of Kaukauna, WI, won the 4-year-old class and was tapped as Reserve Senior Champion and HM Grand Champion of the show. A new name at the show in 2024 where she was the Reserve Intermediate Champion, Pwrup gained more miles in the show ring in 2025, where she was Grand Champion at the Wisconsin Championship Show at the end of August.

Famipage Legend Barabas, the 1st-place senior 3-year-old owned by Ronald Grandy of Oshawa, ON moved into the Reserve Intermediate Champion slot. She was named Grand Champion of the Ontario Summer Show in July, and obviously kept her form into the fall.

Echo Glen Master Ivy kept her winning streak intact as the winter yearling took her class and then the Junior Champion title on Thursday night, topping 236 Holstein heifers. She had also captured Junior Champion crowns at the Ontario Spring Discovery Show and Ontario Summer Shows for owner Ronald Grandy of Oshawa, ON.

She just kept on winning on Thursday night as she took the spotlight as the Supreme Champion Heifer of the 2025 World Dairy Expo. Another Master daughter, Jolipre Master Angel won the summer yearling class and then nabbed the Reserve Junior Champion banner for her exhibitor, Joel Lepage of Amqui, QC. The Grand Champion of the International Junior Holstein show topped 302 juniorowned animals and was the winner of the lifetime production cow class: Luck-E Merjack Asalia for owners Tesa and Stella Schmocker of Whitewater, WI. Asalia kept the good times rolling when she was crowned the Supreme Champion of the Junior Show for World Dairy Expo 2025. The Reserve Grand Champion was the blueribbon winner in the aged cow class, and was last year’s Grand Champion, Oakfield Tatoo Tender-ET exhibited by Chloe & Claire Lamb of Oakfield, NY. Those two cows won the approval of Judge Pierre Boulet and his associate, Richard Landry, both from Quebec.

Toppglen Awesome Whodey-ET, the 1stplace senior 3-year-old exhibited by Chloe Yerina of Johnstown, NY, snared the Intermediate Champion rosette from the Junior Show. Reserve Intermediate Champion honors fell to Heritage Drive Me Crazy-ET, the winning junior 3-year-old exhibited by Madison & Melanie Sarbacker of Whitewater, WI. Drive Me Crazy was also the Champion Bred & Owned animal of the show.

An extremely competitive Junior Holstein heifer show kicked off the week of shows in Madison, and at the end of Sunday night, Karnview Bullseye Aboom-ET, the winning summer yearling exhibited by Caroline Egolf & Ellianna Cummings of North Lewisburg, OH, carried home the purple banner. Weigland Icandy AlexevieET, the 1st-place spring yearling owned by Britney Smith of Norwood Young America, MN, followed her as the Reserve Junior Champion of the show.

In the Premier banner hunt, familiar names came to the top of the Holstein show.

Ferme Jacobs of Cap Sante, QC captured

yet another Overall Premier Breeder banner - their 11th in the last 14 years. Butlerview Farm of Chebanse, IL owned 15 animals in the top ten, including three winners, and took home their fourth straight Premier Exhibitor banner. In the heifer show, Reyncrest Farm of Corfu, NY was the Premier Exhibitor and GenoSource from Blairstown, IA claimed the Premier Breeder banner.

More familiar names taking home the Premier Sire banners with Golden-Oaks Master-ET placing 16 daughter in the top ten in the heifer show, including the Junior Champion and Reserve Junior Champion, to take the Heifer Show banner for the second straight year. Farnear Delta-Lambda had 21 daughters in the top ten, primarily in the cow classes, as he swept in to take the Overall Premier Sire award.

JERSEY Judge Kelly Barbee and Associate Judge Jon Kingdon presided over the International Jersey Show and placed 371 head over the two-day show, a number that was down just slightly over the previous year, but still counted as the third largest show of the week. The years keep going by, but the Guimo Joel daughters still keep winning the biggest titles at this show. Just as in 2024, Joel daughters swept the Grand, Reserve Grand and HM Grand Champion titles in 2025. The returning Grand Champion and now a three-peat Grand winner was the 1stplace aged cow, Stoney Point Joel Bailey, exhibited by Vierra Dairy Farms of Hilmar, CA. The Reserve Grand Champion was the winning 4-year-old, GMBV Joel Dixie-ET, who was the Intermediate Champion at the show in 2024, exhibited by MilkSource of Kaukauna, WI. A new name leapt to the Intermediate Champion title as the winning junior 3-yearold, Kunde Chocolatier Hot Cocoa took the banner for owners Dave Koss and Reuter Dairy of Peosta, IA. Standing next to her in that junior 3-year-old class was the cow that would follow into Reserve Intermediate Champion position, Eastonholme Joyride Reba, exhibited by Vierra Dairy Farms of Hilmar, CA.

Kash-In Video Stop and Stare-ET topped the winter yearling class and then the entire 186-head heifer show as she was selected the Junior Champion. Owned by Kamryn Kasbergen and Ivy Hebgen of Tulare, CA, she also led the field as Junior Champion of the Junior Show. The Reserve Junior Champion was the winning spring yearling, Millers Joel King Majesty, exhibited by Keightley-Core, Millers Jerseys and Rhea & Brycen Miller of Oldenburg, IN. Majesty had done plenty of winning earlier in the year on the Indiana and Kentucky show circuit, and she was also the Reserve Junior Champion of the Junior Show at Madison and the Champion Bred & Owned heifer of the show.

In the Junior Show, the Senior & Grand Champion titles were carried home by Kevetta Colton Delilah, who had placed 2nd in the aged cow class for Kyra & Griffin Lamb of Oakfield, NY. A cow just beginning her show career claimed the Intermediate Champion and Reserve Grand Champion banners as Underground Fancys Fiji won the spring junior 2-year-old class before grabbing the spotlight in the champion parade for owner Isaac Folts of North Collins, NY. Reserve Senior Champion was the 4-year-old LC Reckless Armadillo exhibited by Sophie Leach of Linwood, KS, and the Reserve Intermediate Champion of the Junior Show title went to Pine Haven Victorious Taya, the 2nd-place senior 3-yearold, owned by Ben, Andy, Blessing & Grace Sauder of Tremont, IL. Pacific Edge of Tillamook, Oregon captured the Premier Breeder banner, anchored by their Champion Bred & Owned cow, Pacific Edge Premier Diva, who won the lifetime component class. Vierra Dairy Farms of Hilmar, CA took home their sixth World Dairy Expo Premier Exhibitor banner.

For the Heifer Show, the South Mountain & Co partnership of Ernest Kueffner, Terri Packard, Kaitlyn Corbett & Nate Oleniacz of Boonsboro, MD earned their first Premier Breeder banner, while Meadow Ridge Jerseys of Cumberland, WI secured the Premier Exhibitor of the Heifer Show award.

River Valley Victorious sired 23 daughters in the top ten of their classes, primarily in

the cow show, including a 1-2-3 finish in the 5-year-old class to capture the Premier Sire banner. Mr Kathies Kid Rock had 14 daughters in the top ten of the heifer classes, including two winners, and he garnered his third straight Premier Sire of the Heifer Show banner.

MILKING SHORTHORN Judge Mike Maier and Associate Judge Josh Fairbanks had the pleasure of sorting through 253 Milking Shorthorns during their time on the colored shavings. At the end of the day, they selected a World Dairy Expo first-timer as Senior and Grand Champion: Mountainview TC Fired Up, the winning 5-year-old, exhibited by Emily & Randi Fisher of Pittsfield, NH. Reserve Senior & Reserve Grand Champion was followed by a veteran of the International Milking Shorthorn Show, Heavenly Zora-ET, who was the winning aged cow for owner Dillon Freeman of Bremen, IN. Zora was also chosen as the Grand Champion of the Junior Show - the fourth year in a row she has captured that title.

Lazy M Lars Lucy-EXP won the junior 3-yearold class and then claimed the Intermediate Champion rosette. She subsequently got the nod as the HM Grand Champion for owners Jeremy & Kelsey Kinslow of Smiths Grove, KY. Lucy took home more special awards as she was also won the Type & Production award and the Total Performance Cow title. Second to Lucy in that junior 3-year-old class was Pine-Star LM Jitterbug-EXP exhibited by Cory & Kristen Salzl and Leah, Jason & Jessica James of Litchfield, MN, and she danced her way to the Reserve Intermediate Champion title, the very same title she also won in 2024 as a junior 2-year-old.

The top heifers of the show were all junior owned, highlighting just how well junior members did throughout the entire show.

Lazy M Money Laundering-ET P took the blue ribbon in the fall yearling class shortly before receiving the Junior Champion handshake for both the Open and Junior shows for owners Elizabeth Gunst & Jamie Gibbs of Hartford, WI. It was a repeat title for Money Laundering as wore the same crown LATE FALL 2025 · Page 15

as a fall calf in 2024. She stepped up her game even more on Thursday evening when she was honored with Reserve Supreme Champion Heifer titles of both the Open and Junior Shows for World Dairy Expo 2025. The winning spring yearling, Wincrest P Spring Special-EXP-ET exhibited by Dylan & Cameron Ryan and Charlotte Wingert of Fond du Lac, WI, got the nod as Reserve Junior Champion of both shows.

Reserve Senior & Grand Champion of the Junior Show was the winning 4-year-old, Halpins Trip Crown Roulette-ET exhibited

by Owen & Colt Halpin and Bailey Broers of Buckingham, IL. In September, Roulette was tapped as Grand Champion of the All-American Milking Shorthorn Show in Harrisburg, PA. Redwillow Wild Storm-ET came from the senior 2-year-old class to be Intermediate Champion & HM Grand Champion of the Junior Show for owners Lars Dropik and Lanna Walter of Sauk Centre, MN. Lazy M Liam Alligator, the winning milking yearling exhibited by Cael, Chase & Caden Cannon of Dyersville, IA was the Reserve Intermediate Champion of the Junior Show.

In the banner competition, four different show strings took home titles. Premier Breeder of the Heifer Show was Colton & Ashley Brandel of Lake Mills, WI, while Peter Vail took the Premier Exhibitor of the Heifer Show banner.

Overall Premier Breeder was Corstar Milking Shorthorns of Litchfield, MN with eight animals carrying the Corstar prefix landing in the top ten, including both first and second place cows in the summer junior 2-year-old class. Premier Exhibitor honors were captured

by Keith & Donnette Fisher of Hard Core Farm of New Enterprise, PA. Innisfail Mega Lottery-ET repeated his Premier Sire win from 2024 with nine daughters in the top ten in the cow and heifer classes. Top Shelf Pir Liam EXP put seven heifers in the top ten and won the Premier Sire of the Heifer Show banner for the first time.

RED & WHITE Judge Adam Hodgins and Associate Judge Joel Phoenix, both from Ontario, took the Page 16 · COWSMO

reins for a tremendous International Red & White Show that featured 320 head of cattle.

Their Grand Champion is no stranger to the show ring, but it was her first time wearing the Grand Champion crown - Golden-Oaks Temptres-Red-ET, who won her 5-year-old class before advancing to Senior & Grand Champion for MilkSource, Fischer, Steincrest, and Crescentmead of Kaukauna, WI. Temptress had been the All-American R&W Senior 3-Year-Old in 2023, and her week would get even more exciting when she was named Supreme Champion of World Dairy Expo - only the second Red & White cow to ever do so. Following her into the Reserve Grand Champion position was the Reserve Senior Champion, winner of the aged cow class, and two-time reigning Grand Champion of the show, Premium Apple Crisp Lilly-Red exhibited by Butlerview Farm of Chebanse, IL. For Intermediate Champion, Judge Hodgins admired the frame, udder and style of his winning senior 3-year-old, Luck-E Altitude Attie-Red-ET, who took the title for owners Rick & Tom Simon and ALH Genetics USA of Farley, IA. Following her was the same cow that followed her in the senior 3-yearold class, Rocky-Run Mv Arcadia-Red-ET, exhibited by Golden Oak Farm of Wauconda, IL. Arcadia had been a WDE winner in the senior 2-year-old class last year, and also carried that All-American R&W title.

Milksource Shay-Red-ET, the winning spring yearling, seized the purple banner earmarked for the Junior Champion for owners MilkSource Genetics and Jeremy Holthaus of Kaukauna, WI. She topped the 174-head heifer show, and had also been Junior Champion at the Wisconsin R&W Championship Show in late August.

The Reserve Junior Champion rosette was claimed by another Wisconsin-bred heifer in Ms Believe In Faith-Red-ET, who stood at the top of the fall calf class for owners Travis & Savannah Krohlow and William Schultz III & Yvonne Preder of Black Creek, WI. From the junior show, it didn’t take long for the judges to name their Senior & Grand Champion in Bert-Mar Alt Adlee-Red-ET, the class-winning 4-year-old for Allison,

Lane, & Callum Francis of Greenville, OH, who had been nominated All-American as a junior 3-year-old in 2023. Reserve Grand Champion honors were laid on Synergy Spikes Sequel-Red, the aged cow owned by Claire & Jacob Betley of Pulaski, WI. It was familiar ground for Sequel as she had been Grand Champion of the Junior Show in 2023.

Along with the Grand Champions, it was another Altitude-Red daughter that caught the Intermediate Champion banner in the junior show as Kara-Kesh-RK Alt Sky-Red came from the junior 3-year-old class to claim the title for owners Curtis, Evelyn & Agnes Griffin of Thief River Falls, MN. SkyRed was also the Champion Bred & Owned cow of the Junior Show. Claire & Jacob Betley of Pulaski, WI added another banner to their stash when their winning spring junior 2-year-old, Hodglynn Unstopabull Venice-Red was selected as the Reserve Intermediate Champion of the junior show.

It was a good day for Minnesota juniors in the heifer show and Junior Champion round as the Junior Champion and Champion Bred & Owned Heifer of the Junior Show was bred in the Gopher State: Threesisters Jealous SlRed, the winning winter yearling for Shelby Swanson of Hutchinson, MN. Following her to the Reserve Junior Champion title was Redcarpet Afterparty-Red, from the fall calf class, exhibited by Brady & Abbey Lorenz of Bricelyn, MN. In the competition for the Premier banners, Elmvue Farm of Johnstown, NY once again captured the overall Premier Exhibitor banner, while Premier Breeder honors went to Luck-E Holsteins of Hampshire, IL. In the heifer show, Claire & Jacob Betley of Pulaski, WI hooked the Premier Breeder banner and the partnership of Travis & Savannah Krohlow and William Schultz III & Yvonne Preder of Black Creek, WI nabbed their first Premier Exhibitor of the Heifer Show award.

Two powerhouse red & white sires came to the top and tied for Premier Sire: Riverdown Unstopabull-Red and Farnear Altitude-Red, while Mr Blondin Warrior-Red-ET was named Premier Sire of the Heifer Show for the 5th straight year.

AWARD WINNER RECOGNITION 2025 A.C. “Whitie” Thomson Memorial Award The 2025 A.C. “Whitie” Thomson Memorial Award was proudly presented to Jason Lloyd, Middleburg, NY. He is a partner in Maple-Downs Farms II, which he operates alongside his fiancé, Lexie Payne.

Breeding Holsteins under the MapleDowns prefix, the herd has achieved consistent success in the showring, producing multiple All-Americans and more than 150 Excellent cows. Jason has also played an instrumental role in several breeding partnerships, most notably in developing the Md-Delight Durham AtleeET cow family and breeding the influential sire Maple-Downs-I G W Atwood-ET. An accomplished dairy cattle judge, Jason has officiated at leading shows throughout the Northeast and Midwest, including the Wisconsin Spring Show, Wisconsin State Fair, Illinois State Holstein Show, Southeastern National Brown Swiss Show, Mid-East Fall Red & White Show, New York Spring Dairy Carousel, and New York State Fair. His judging assignments have also taken him internationally to Brazil, Peru, and the Dominican Republic.

At home, Jason and Lexie milk 125 Registered Holsteins and care for boarded show cattle representing six breeds. Their show care program has earned numerous All-American nominations. They have 40 head in their string this week.

In addition to their dairy herd, Jason manages 1,000 acres of cropland and provides custom work on another 2,000 acres. Jason currently serves as President of the New York Holstein Association and is a member of the National Holstein Association Show Committee..

2025 McKown Master Breeder Award Family, Peace & Plenty Farm in Union Bridge, Md., owned by the Schwartzbeck family has been chosen as the 2025 recipient of the Robert “Whitey” McKown Master Breeder Award by the Klussendorf Association. This honor celebrates generations of dedication to advancing

the Holstein breed, a commitment evident in every aspect of their dairy operation.

For decades, the Schwartzbeck name has been synonymous with quality and passion. The 1,100 acres of Peace & Plenty Farm, owned by Joe and Nona Schwartzbeck, is home to 600 registered Holsteins, each an example of meticulous breeding and dedicated animal care. The farm’s journey to Union Bridge began in 1968, when the brothers Gus and Shane grew up together helping their parents establish the foundation for generations to come. Shane now operates his own agricultural business focused on concrete work and grain bins.

Today, alongside Joe and Nona, Gus and Lisa – along with their sons – Davis and Austin, work full time on the farm.

Davis and Austin play a critical role in mating decisions, herd health, and overall success of the Peace & Plenty herd. Davis and Austin’s families are also deeply involved with the daily management of the farm. Austin’s wife, Lauren, and Davis and Austin’s sister, Aubrey, play a pivotal role in their show heifer program and doing daily chores on the farm. Furthermore, they are fortunate to have additional help from Joe and Nona’s son Shane, as well as their longtime feeder David Miller.

The Schwartzbecks’ commitment to advancing the Holstein breed goes beyond the farm’s gate. As active members of the Carroll County and Maryland Holstein Associations, they participate in various efforts to advance the breed they cherish. All three generations have given, and continue to give, significant time and service to these associations.

Their reputation for excellence is further cemented by numerous accolades, including the Maryland and Virginia Milk Quality Award, recognition as the 2010 Dairy of Distinction, and the esteemed title of Master Farmer.

But it’s about more than winning awards.

The Schwartzbecks take immense pride in

educating others about the milk industry and the realities of running a family farm – frequently opening their farm for tours and community groups. It’s important to have an open mindset when it comes to operating a family farm, as well as when you try to convey your love for it to others, which is exactly what they aim to do.

Their achievements and dedication to the Holstein breed and dairy farming lifestyle have not gone unnoticed another characteristic that establishes them as a top-notch breeder. The Schawartzbeck breeding philosophy is rooted in advancement, versatility, and thoroughness. Peace & Plenty Farm has bred an impressive 181 Excellent Holstein cows. Some stunning classification statistics also include two cows at 95 points, 10 cows at 94 points, 14 cows at 93 points, 25 cows at 92 points, 36 at 91 points, and 95 cows achieving 90 points. Beyond individual classification, their program has also produced six Merit dams and four Gold Medal dams, solidifying their status as top-tier breeders.

The show ring has offered many triumphs for Peace & Plenty anchored by the Jubilant “Jubie” family. They have achieved considerable success showing in Maryland for many years and are increasingly making their mark nationwide.

A notable early success was winning the first ever Junior Supreme Champion of the Premier National Junior Shows in Harrisburg, Pa., with a homebred heifer.

Their very own, Peace & Plenty Atwd Jubilant EX-93 3E has emerged as a new cornerstone of success. Her offspring are making waves at national caliber shows, bringing recognition for the Schwartzbecks’ and their partnered exhibitors.

The Jubilant family alone produced six All-American nominations in 2023 and followed with six more nominations in 2024 including Junior Champion of the Open Show at the Eastern Fall National in Harrisburg, Pa. Additional honors

have included impressive titles such as Reserve Grand Champion at the Eastern Fall National, and Grand Champion at Southern Spring National. Further testament to the value of their genetics, the farm hosted a sale in the spring of 2025 with Ducketts and Borderview, grossing over $1 million.

The Schwartzbeck family is diligent in cow care and environmental stewardship alike. Their cows are comfortably housed in freestall barns equipped with mattresses, while dry cows enjoy a newer loose housing barn. Fresh cows and show animals have a dedicated barn, receiving extra attention, ensuring optimal well-being. Their commitment to the land is equally as strong, earning them the 2006 Carroll County Soil Conservation District Cooperator of the Year award as well as acknowledgment for outstanding conservation achievements as part of the Double Pipe Creek Rural Clean Water Project.

The achievements within the Holstein breed and their combined loyalty to education and outreach have rightfully earned Peace & Plenty Farm the 2025 McKown Master Breeder Award. Their steadfast devotion continues to leave an indelible mark on the dairy industry and the next generations, setting a shining example from their Maryland home.

2025 Merle Howard Award Kyle Welk was named the 21st Merle Howard Award winner at the 58th World Dairy Expo on Friday, October 3. Super polite, super respectful, passionate, driven, and incredibly humble were all thoughts shared by past winners of the award, who nominated Welk for the selection committee’s consideration.

Like many juniors, he began showing cattle at the local level and eventually began to exhibit at state, regional and national shows. Along the way, his parents, Matt and Jen Welk of Peach Bottom, Pa., began driving him to state fairs so he could begin working for some of the best show strings in the area well before he was old enough to drive. While extremely Kyle Welk, 2025 Merle an fitter, Howard Memorial Winner. talented what elevates Kyle in the eyes of many is that he’s also willing to make pack, wash animals or do anything else that others ask of him … not just the fun and glamorous jobs.

Tyler Woodman is the herd manager of Mapleline Farm in Hadley, MA, overseeing the Jersey herd’s day-to-day care to produce the highest quality milk for their full line of dairy products that are delivered throughout the state. Like Tyler Woodman was presented the 2nd Annual Richard Richard, the 28-year-old Tyler is a Caverly Memorial Dairy Award during World Dairy Expo New England native who grew up from the committee members.

LATE FALL 2025 · Page 47

The nomination submitted for Tyler noted several specific examples of his interest in mentoring youth. Quotes like “he has given me the best tips for showmanship, fitting and judging”, “Tyler has also helped me with my dairy judging. He pushes me to follow my pattern and when I don’t agree with the placing, how to work through my reasoning.” “Tyler always has time to discuss pedigrees and mating choices for my cattle”, “I am thankful for the help Tyler gave me on improving my topline clipping”.

The theme running through these examples is time – Tyler always makes time for youth interested in the dairy industry, offering advice, encouragement and opportunities.

These traits and examples demonstrate why Tyler Woodman is perfectly suited for this recognition. He is a breeder, caretaker, fitter, mentor, and a promoter and advocate for the dairy industry.

Recipients of the Richard Caverly Memorial Dairy Award become the caretaker of a beautiful traveling trophy – a wooden carving of Glenamore Gold Prize EX-976E created and donated by Scott Hussey, a close friend of Caverly. “Prize” was a five-time Grand Champion at the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto, Canada. Richard worked with an extensive number of award-winning bovine during his career, but when asked to declare his favorite he would respond “Prize” without hesitation.

Caverly award recipients also receive a commemorative plaque and embroidered item of their choice.

2025 Klussendorf Award Clark Woodmansee III of Preston, Conn., was presented the 83rd Klussendorf Award, the highest recognition given to a dairy cattle showman in the United States during the 58th World Dairy Expo. Woodmansee 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. Woodmansee received the silver trophy designed by Tiffany Jewelers of New York City.

This year the Klussendorf Association recognized one of the most influential Holstein breeders in the U.S. From the point of him buying his farm over 50 years ago to his recent promotional sale this June, this New England dairyman has been involved with some of the greatest Holstein cows of the breed. Under their own Woodmansee prefix, they have bred nine Excellent 94-point cows and been involved with a dozen cows that were scored Excellent 95 or higher.

In the early 1990s, this year’s Klussendorf winner caught the show bug with LoPage 48 · COWSMO

Pine Jet Bianca earning Reserve AllAmerican honors. In the ensuing years, Woodmansees BStar Jinx, Woodmansees Inspired Bette, and Lew-Lin Highlight Hotstuff were all nominated All-American.

Another colored shaving’s favorite is none other than Hazels Goldwyn Hatty who was twice named Grand Champion at the Northeast Fall National Holstein Show and won the coveted Best Bred and Owned Award at the 2019 World Dairy Expo … one of the greatest achievements for a dairy cattle breeder.

Never fearful to add world-class genetics to his herd, this year’s 83rd Klussendorf partnered with others to purchase QualityRidge Stormi Hazel who is Hatty’s dam.

Hazel became one of the world’s favorite show cows being nominated for All American each of seven years in milking form. She has multiple Ex-95 daughters and granddaughters and has had the biggest impact on the Woodmansee herd of any animal.

Woodmansee also partnered on acquiring Dubeau Dundee Hezbollah (EX-92) and had considerable success developing her daughters. Hez currently has over 40 Excellent daughters, many bred by Woodmansee. Additionally, Clark owned and helped develop the 2017 World Dairy Expo Grand Champion and Supreme Champion, Rosiers Blexy Goldwyn-ET. While his accomplishments with cattle are numerous, Woodmansee may be best known as one of the true “gentlemen” of our business. He is a mentor, friend and steward of both cattle and land.

Woodmansee has impacted many young people and breeders over the past 50 years. He is a fierce competitor and more importantly a great sport win or lose. He is quiet and humble and is a model we should all try to emulate in our business.

The Klussendorf Award was developed to recognize those who exemplify a person with great character, sportsmanship, and dedication to dairy cattle shows. Clark Woodmansee III certainly has all these attributes and that is why he was selected

as the 83rd Klussendorf winner.

Klussendorf-MacKenzie Award Matt Sloan of Marshall, Wis., was presented the 34th Klussendorf-MacKenzie Award during World Dairy Expo® 2025, in memory of Duncan MacKenzie, the 1961 Klussendorf winner. While this year’s Klussendorf-MacKenzie award winner has an impressive dairy résumé, it is most important to note that Sloan exemplifies the standards that made Duncan MacKenzie the forbearer of this award.

At just 14 years old, before he could drive, this year’s Duncan MacKenzie honoree began clipping for Nabholz Farms. In these formative years, Sloan learned from some of the industry’s most respected mentors, including Joel Kietzman, Tom Cull, Mark Rueth, Jason Danhof, Pat Conroy, and Mike and Joel Phoenix. His talent and work ethic quickly earned him a place with many of the most elite show strings in North America, including Budjon, Milk Source, Butlerview, Luck-E, Rosedale, Gen-Com, and River Valley.

In the ensuing years, this southeast Minnesota native’s fitting career has taken him around the world to over 15 countries in Europe, South America, Australia, and North America, preparing cattle for the highest levels of competition. Among all the cows he has worked with, two remain his personal favorites — RF Goldwyn Hailey and Musqie Iatola Martha.

In 2010, with guidance and encouragement from his good friend Dave Schmocker, Sloan expanded his skills and launched his own hoof trimming business. True to his guiding mantra, Carpe Diem “Seize the Day”, he named his business after this phrase, using it as a daily reminder to approach each task with purpose, energy, and excellence.

In 2020, he, along with his wife Molly started boarding and developing their own elite show heifers. Many of the animals in their care have gone on to become class winners at major national shows and have earned All-American nominations in their respective breeds.

In recent years, Sloan has also begun establishing himself as a respected dairy cattle judge, serving as the lead judge of the 2025 Midwest Spring National Red & White Holstein and Jersey Shows.

Sloan’s personal attributes align perfectly with the character and spirit of the Duncan MacKenzie Award. Humble by nature, Sloan never brags, never considers himself above any task, and approaches each job, big or small, with the same care and dedication. Beyond his skill, Matt is a gifted mentor. His leadership is quiet but powerful, raising the standard for everyone around him simply through his presence and example. These are among the many reasons that Matt Sloan of Marshall, Wisconsin, won the 34th Duncan MacKenzie Award.

RONNIE LEE MOSSER July 5, 1948 - October 19, 2025

Ronnie Lee Mosser, age 77, of rural Geneva, IN, passed away on Sunday, October 19, 2025 at his home on Pleasant Ridge Farm. He was born on Monday, July 5, 1948, in Decatur, IN. to the late Hugh David and Catherine Lucille (Fields) Mosser. Ronnie graduated in 1966 in the last class of Geneva High School where he was class President and attended Purdue University. He was elected the FFA State President in 1968. He served his country in the Army National Guard, and was a member of the Berne American Legion. He attended The Bridge Community Church in Berne.

Ronnie pursued a dairy farming, milking, and breeding Jersey Cattle career. For more than two decades Ronnie served the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) as a Senior Traits Appraiser and Area Representative, logging thousands of miles and tens of thousands of cows across the country. His steady work ethic and deep cow sense made him a cornerstone of the AJCA classification program. He set a standard not just for how to evaluate cattle, but for how to live with purpose.

Ronnie’s passion carried him far beyond Indiana as he bred and exhibited many champion Jerseys on all levels and won the honor of Premier Breeder at many shows including the Royal Winter Fair and World Dairy Expo for three consecutive years. He judged shows at every level - across the U.S. and internationally in Canada, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Guatemala - and stood in the center ring at events like the National Jersey Jug Futurity and the Premier National Junior Jersey Show. Yet, even on the biggest stage, he never lost sight of cows - or the kids - who made it all matter.

He will be sadly missed by his children, Jennifer (Noble) Zimmerman, Lipan, TX; Bridget Mosser, Berne, IN; B.J. Mosser, Fairbury, IL,; Tony (Natasha) Mosser, Geneva, IN; Jobetha (Ben) Ford, Decatur, IN; and Ronilea “Roni” (Keith Sprunger) Mosser, Geneva, IN; sister, Judi (Mark) Merkel, Geneva, IN; 24 grandchildren; and 11 great grandchildren. Ron will also be missed by countless other friends whom he loved as if they were family.

He was preceded in death by his father, Hugh David Mosser, and mother, Catherine Lucille (Fields) Mosser. Preferred memorials can be made to The Indiana State Junior Jersey Association.

CASEY TRELOAR SHARING THE SHOW RING AROUND THE WORLD!

In this Late Fall issue, we’re continuing our collaboration with Uplevel Dairy Podcast, created and produced by Peggy Coffeen.

We’re not above blatant self-promotion, especially when it features one of our favorite people, and we’re delighted to bring you this synopsis of a conversation between Peggy and Casey Treloar. Casey is a broadcast news journalist from Australia with deep roots in the dairy industry, and she is the powerhouse behind our extremely popular Cowsmo on Cue social media segments at World Dairy Expo!

Here in North America, you many recognize Casey Treloar from her extensive and wide-ranging interviews conducted on behalf of Cowsmopolitan at World Dairy Expo for the Cowsmo on Cue segments delivered all week from Madison. In Australia, Casey is recognized by hundreds of thousands of Australians for her work as a reporter and presenter with 7News in their Adelaide bureau.

It’s an enviable career, but not one that Casey aspired to as a young person growing up on her family’s 700-cow dairy operation in South Australia. “I grew up on a dairy farm surrounded by the registered dairy cattle industry, got into the world of showing, promoting, and marketing cattle, so that’s naturally where my heart and passion is,” she says. “As a kid, I wanted to be a large animal veterinarian, but after traveling to shows and making connections, I opened up to the idea of media and communication, and it was maybe more aligned to what I wanted to do.”

She studied media and journalism at the University of South Australia, so while it may look like it was a direct line to her current job with 7News, the reality offers something different.

While in university, she took advantage of an opportunity to pursue internships in the US, spending 10 months in 2015-2016 as the marketing intern at Butlerview Farm in Chebanse, IL and a further two months with an internship at a financial firm in New York City, NY. That experience broadened her network, created openings she hadn’t imagined earlier, and now forms the advice she has for young people in their early 20s just starting their careers. “The biggest thing and starting point when an opportunity comes up, is to just say ‘yes’. You can figure out the details later. For

“

me and the US internships, I had to apply for work visas and that whole process was tiresome and took a lot of effort, but the end result was so rewarding to make all of those connections. If you can go abroad, meet new people, make connections, build confidence, it’s all worth it. It might be scary - I was young and naive, about 22 years old at the time, but here I am now, ten years later, flying back to the US year after year to report on the biggest, best dairy cattle show in the world!”

That confidence and quest for career progression continued when Casey returned to Australia as she entered the journalism field and quickly moved up the ladder. “I’ve been with 7News for almost seven years now, but prior to that, I didn’t hold a job for longer than six months. I kept getting offered new and better opportunities, and I said yes. That got me here to a job I love in my hometown,” she notes.

While she’s comfortable in the spotlight now, her first rise to national prominence happened seven years ago when a heartfelt, emotional Facebook post went viral. Her family had made the hard decision to sell the cows, which was not an unfamiliar story during the tough dairy economy in Australia at the time. “They had to say farewell to the farm they built, to the legacy they tried to build; it’s never easy. I thought maybe if I go public with it and share our story through a little video on Facebook, it might give a bit of an insight to what our dairy farmers were going through at the time. Our dairy products were so devalued in Australia at the time, and I wanted to share the impact that was having,” Casey recalls.

That Facebook post made in the evening had hundreds of thousands of views by the next day, and Casey, at that time a reporter on a local news station, was getting calls from the national media. The timing was serendipitous as that post went

The biggest thing and starting point when an opportunity comes up, is to just say ‘yes’. You can figure out the details later. For me and the US internships, I had to apply for work visas and that whole process was tiresome and took a lot of effort, but the end result was so rewarding to make all of those connections. If you can go abroad, meet new people, make connections, build confidence, it’s all worth it.”

“

Since that video, many more farmers and young people have really come forward with their own stories and messages. And it’s really important to highlight that us, as young people, as the future generations of this industry, have a voice and that people will listen to us.”

viral during the middle of a national election campaign and thrust her into the national conversation about the struggles of the dairy industry.

“I ended up being invited to our capital city, Canberra, where I got to meet with the agricultural leaders of both parties and really share the plight of our farmers, and it put the dairy industry back in the spotlight. As a result, there were lots of conversations about processors and how they maybe weren’t looking after the best interests of the farmers when it came to milk contracts. We have two major supermarket chains, a duopoly, and as a result, they have tremendous power in pricing product. They were selling milk for a dollar a liter at the time, but after the pressure of so many people seeing that video, it brought the end of dollar a liter milk, and that was fantastic to see - to see these major corporations admit they had messed up and were doing the dirty on the dairy industry.

My biggest message to consumers was to buy local, support local dairy producers and processors that were looking after the dairy farmers and actually paying them well,” she relates.

She continues to utilize her social media platforms, and sees it as an important outlet for the next generation of dairy farmers.

“Since that video, many more farmers and young people have really come forward with their own stories and messages.

And it’s really important to highlight that us, as young people, as the future generations of this industry, have a voice and that people will listen to us,” Casey emphasizes. “Part of the success of that viral video, I think, was showing the public the face of a young female share how passionate she feels about the industry. I think that was a turning point for some people.”

Even though her family sold the herd in 2019, Casey still owns and breeds some elite dairy cattle under her Finesse Genetics banner. She’s had tremendous success in the Ayrshire breed with a family that originated with a calf she won in a junior contest. She also recently invested in Rockwella Farm Rubels Ruffles-Red, a red & white Holstein that is the #1 type female on Australia’s genomic system, and she still co-owns some black & white Holstein show cattle that carry her family’s Edge prefix.

to share the success stories from the breeders and exhibitors that were doing well,” notes Casey. “As a result of that, and as a result of Cowsmopolitan coming to Australia and doing show coverage the last few years, the conversations got going about doing something similar at World Dairy Expo.”

Casey’s work has been a big hit for Cowsmopolitan during World Dairy Expo, where the social media platforms received 11 million views over the week. It’s an assignment that she cherishes. “I do some research ahead of time, and then I’m either ringside or pounding the pavement in the barn. I just love sharing those stories and moments of emotion. One of my first interviews I did last year at World Dairy Expo was with this young lad, Tyler (Leuch), who was just named overall showmanship champion. It just hit him how monumental it was to win that award at Expo and for him to show that raw emotion in that interview was wonderful. I mean, he didn’t know me from a bar of soap, but he felt comfortable and happy and elated and he was willing to share that with us in that interview.”

Look for Casey’s debut at the Cremona International Livestock Show at the end of November, and with IDW’s Around The Barn podcast and show segments coming once again in January!

We’ll also be eagerly awaiting her return to Wisconsin next fall for continuing Cowsmo on Cue coverage of World Dairy Expo 2026.

If you’d like to listen to the complete podcast episode and hear more from Casey Treloar and her thoughts on the Australian dairy industry, as well as creating a vibrant career, you can find it either at Uplevel Dairy Podcast (episode #267): Uplevel Dairy: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3E 9Y4WziERsnfE23HeyVRx?si=LpxNi3iNThyqWfqCKQNjQ&nd=1&dlsi=225a8342f5fb4bff

Harboring that love and continued connection with show cattle means she brings that extra passion to her ‘side gigs’ doing Around The Barn segments during International Dairy Week and Cowsmo On Cue interviews during World Dairy Expo.

It was her stellar work at IDW that put her on the road to Madison in 2024.

“We started the Around The Barn project in Australia about four years ago after COVID when international visitors started coming back to the show. People from all over the world were able to essentially feel like they were at IDW, and we were able

CDCB NEWS AND UPDATES Provided by CDCB ~ Council on Dairy Cattle Breeding The December triannual evaluations will include health and type trait edits as well as operational efficiency improvements.

NEW HEALTH EDITS The data extraction process for health phenotypes was refined to exclude records from cows that changed herds within a single lactation. This adjustment ensures that animals do not have multiple health phenotypes for the same lactation across different herds. The overall impact on evaluations is expected to be minimal, as correlations among traditional health PTAs remained high during testing over the August 2025 evaluation — ranging from 0.97 for milk fever resistance to 0.99 for both displaced abomasum and metritis resistance. Minor effects may occur at the individual level if a cow (or a bull’s daughter) changed herds during lactation.

HOLSTEIN ASSOCIATION USA EDITS ON FEMALE TYPE DATA Data used for genomic evaluations of type traits will now exclude more than 1.1 million animals that did not meet all requirements for traditional type evaluation, most of which were born before 1998. These animals were previously included in a supplementary evaluation to generate predictions more accurate than simple parent averages. However, advances in genomic prediction now provide superior accuracy for animals without linear trait data, rendering the inclusion of these older animals unnecessary. Fewer than 4,000 of these animals were part of the Holstein type reference population of over 750,000.

A test run based on the August 2025 evaluation showed a correlation exceeding 99.99% across all animals, with no impact observed on A.I. bulls. Animals with phenotypes excluded from the evaluation — whether reference or non-reference — will show greater variability than usual as a result of this exclusion.

GENOMIC EVALUATION SOFTWARE EFFICIENCY UPGRADE The genomic evaluation software and pipeline have been modified to improve efficiency and eliminate unnecessary operations. Following recent updates to the Interbull evaluation schedule, international MACE evaluations are now available on the first day of the genomic evaluation process, rendering several previously required steps obsolete.

A test run based on the August 2025 evaluations showed correlations exceeding 99.9% across all traits and breeds. Most of the observed variation was due to more up-to-date information being incorporated earlier in the genomic evaluation process.

A.I. bulls were only minimally affected by the pipeline change, with most of the variation linked to rounding differences.

However, evaluation codes for bulls may differ in the bull evaluation file, and minimal changes are expected for unevaluated traits in the calving trait files for some international bulls.

TRANSITION FROM ANONYMOUS FTP TO SECURE HTTPS ACCESS As part of CDCB’s continued commitment to improving data security, usability, and system reliability, CDCB will transition from anonymous FTP to HTTPS-based access for public file downloads and data distribution on February 2, 2026. The new HTTPS site is already available at https://webconnect.uscdcb.com/base/ftp/pub/. This change provides enhanced encryption, improved access control, greater compatibility with modern systems, and more robust monitoring. Files currently hosted on the anonymous FTP server can now be accessed through the HTTPS link above using a web browser, command-line tools (curl, wget), or WebDAV clients (such as WinSCP). Please note that FTP/SFTP-only clients (like FileZilla) will no longer work for this public access. This update does not affect private, authenticated SFTP exchanges, which remain fully operational. Users are encouraged to begin transitioning to HTTPS access to ensure a smooth changeover before the February 2026 deadline.

SIR INKA MAY

Early Red Influence in the Holstein Breed Sir Inka May is listed 27 times in the index of Holstein Friesian History, Diamond Jubilee Edition (1960). That fact in itself shows that Sir Inka May was one of the most popular and respected Holstein sires of his time. Sir Inka was a major source of the red factor in the Holstein breed. At that time, red and white calves were not eligible for registration and were quickly and quietly disposed of, yet Sir Inka May, a known red carrier, was one of the Holstein breed’s most popular bulls until the day he died.

Sir Inka May was born April 8, 1923 at the farm owned by Minnesota Holstein Company near Austin, Minnesota. His dam was May Walker Ollie Homestead, the US champion butter producer with a record of 31,610 lbs of milk 3.9% 1523 lbs of butterfat at six years of age. The sire of Sir Inka May was Sir Inka Superior Segis, whose dam was Southside Inka DeKol, the 1920 Grand Champion at the Minnesota State Fair who produced 20661 lbs. of milk and 709 lbs. of butterfat in 305 days at nine and half years.

(L-R): Vere Culver, Minnesota Holstein Company; A.C marking Sir Inka May’s 16th birthday, Maurice Prescott noted that more Oosterhuis, Carnation Director of Dairy Extension; Alfred Ghormley, than thirty of the breeders who regularly purchased ads in the magazine Manager of Carnation Milk Farms (later President of the Carnation were using sires carrying the blood of Sir Inka May. Among these were Company), and Merton Moore, merchandising manager for Carnation Milk Farms.

Pabst Farms, whose Carnation Sensation, a Sir Inka May son, sired the 1938 All-American Get of Sire; Maytag Farms, who owned Prince Ormsby Inka May (the “Washing Machine bull”) another Sir Inka May son, Sir Piebe Inka May Fayne was at Osborndale Farm in Connecticut. George A. Paull, Matsqui, British Columbia owned Carnation Challenger, the Sir Inka May son of Hazelwood Ormsby Korndyke DeKol, and Carnation Farms themselves were using several Sir Inka May sons including Inka the Great, a Sir Inka May son who was the sire of Carnation Inka Perfection who sired U.N.H Perfection Echo. Femco Farm in Minnesota used two Sir Inka May sons; Femco Royal and Carnation Ormsby Sir Bessie.

In 1940, the Holstein Friesian World began a series of articles featuring bulls of the Holstein breed that had the greatest impact up to that time. Sir Inka May *RC was the first bull featured. He lived almost 21 years, and sired calves until he was 20 years old, before being put to sleep on July 15, 1943.

Notably, Sir Inka May carried the red gene and spread the red hair color throughout North America. Using Mendel’s Principles of Genetics, we can estimate that 50 percent of Sir Inka May’s sons and daughters carried the red gene. Today, his name appears multiple times in nearly all pedigrees of Red & White and Red Carrier Holsteins worldwide.

Some of the top producers at Carnation during the 1920s and 30s were among the approximately 30 cows that produced red calves at Carnation between 1923 and 1956. Carnation Prospect Veeman *RC, Carnation Ormsby Dykeland DeKol *RC, Carnation Ormsby Olive *RC, and Dorothea Prospect *RC - who all had produced either 30,000 lbs of milk or over 1,000 lbs of fat - all had red & white calves by Sir Inka May *RC. The cows have birthdates from 1922 through 1931 and were sired by Carnation Segis Prospect *RC (a confirmed red carrier) or Matador Segis Ormsby (a possible but not confirmed red carrier).

Sir Inka May *RC arrived at Carnation in April 1925, and it is clear that the red factor existed at Carnation Farm from the earliest days of the herd, probably as far back as 1915.

THEY SAW RED! Through the years there has been a persistent rumor that Sir Inka May received the red gene from an Ayrshire bull. Unfortunately, this false information has appeared in print and spread by the misinformed. Sir Inka May was sired by Sir Inka Superior Segis.

Minnesota Holstein Company sold Sir Inka Superior Segis privately to Carnation Milk Farms about 1927 where he sired at least two red & white calves; one from Princess Adelina Segis *RC on September 7, 1928 and a year later on November 15, 1929, he sired a red and white calf from Leila Tulip Gem Butter King *RC. In 1923-24, Carnation Segis Prospect *RC (a son of the world record holder Segis Pietertje Prospect) sired three red calves at Carnation. Sir Inka May *RC arrived at Carnation in April 1925 and between 1926 and 1937 sired 14 red calves at Carnation, many from the best cows in the herd. It is also noted Sir Inka May’s dam, May Walker Ollie Homestead was the dam of at least two red carriers besides Sir Inka May. Her son, Sir Bess Ormsby May, born in 1925 was purchased by Osborndale Farm in Connecticut where he sired red calves. May Walker Inka Segis, the full sister to Sir Inka May, was purchased by Senator A.C. Hardy of Ontario at the Minnesota Holstein Company Dispersal in 1927. She also was a red carrier and along with her paternal brother Brookholm Inka, bred by R.P. Crane, Austin, Minnesota, a son of Sir Inka Superior Segis, brought the red factor to Canada.

Clothilde and Coronet (both red carriers imported from Holland) appear in Sir Inka May’s pedigree a total of 15 times. Clothilde appears in the pedigree of Sir Inka Superior Segis ten times. Clothilde appears three times in the pedigree of Sir Inka May’s dam, May Walker Ollie Homestead. Coronet appears twice in Sir Inka May’s pedigree through his dam who traces to Coronet’s Hulleman, a son of Coronet’s daughter, Corona. As we can see, there were plenty of red genes in Sir Inka May’s ancestry. He didn’t need help from an Ayrshire bull!

WAYNE SLIKER

May 21, 1941 - October 15, 2025 Wayne E. Sliker, 84, of rural St. Paris, Ohio, passed away on October 15, 2025. He entered this world on May 21, 1941, in Lebanon Township, New Jersey, the second of five sons born to the late Wilbur & Louise (Gross) Sliker.

Wayne is survived by his wife of 60 years Connie (Freeman) Sliker; Son, Kevin (Ann) Sliker; brothers, Bruce Sliker, Trent (Donna) Sliker; granddaughter, Britny Sliker; special cousin, Linda Giorgianni, as well as 4 nieces and 6 nephews.

He is preceded in death by his parents; brother Keith Sliker, sisters-in-law Viginia Sliker and Genevieve Sliker.

Leader, mentor, a man with high integrity, an avid youth supporter, and simply a class act who routinely went out of his way to encourage others are among the descriptives used by the people who encountered Wayne Sliker throughout his earthly life. With no farming background in his immediate family, Wayne’s interest in dairy took root during his freshman year of high school when he purchased his first Brown Swiss calf for his FFA project. As fate would have it, that calf eventually developed into his very first Excellent cow for his fledging Top Acres herd. That calf became the genesis for a 69-year career with the Brown Swiss breed that has become one for the record books.

Just as Wayne’s dairy career began to sprout, peers in his life were recognizing another trait Wayne’s leadership skills as his North Hunterdon Regional High School classmates elected him class president three of his four years of high school. As Wayne continued on his leadership journey, he was elected the high school’s Chapter FFA President and simultaneously served as the New Jersey State FFA Secretary. After graduating high school in 1959, Wayne was elected the New Jersey State FFA President.

It was during this era that this hard-working, young man fully embraced his passion for the dairy industry as he started milking 20 registered Brown Swiss on a rented farm near Port Murray, N.J. As this business adventure got rolling, 1962 became a whirlwind year as Wayne became the only New Jersey high school student to win the coveted American Farmer Degree and he joined 350 other individuals from across the country to receive that award at the National FFA Convention in Kansas City, Missouri.

Having won the state FFA judging contest that same year, Wayne earned a trip to the famed National Dairy Cattle Congress, in Waterloo, Iowa, which was the North America’s leading dairy show in that era. That turned out to be the trip of lifetime as Wayne was mentored by the legendary Vernon Hull, the 1941 Klussendorf winner who managed the world’s leading Brown Swiss herd … Lee’s Hill Farm. Hull saw something in Wayne and hired the young New Jersey native to travel by boxcar with the show herd that season. Fast forward through the years … those two gentlemen became perhaps the most recognized Brown Swiss breeders in the breeds history. In 2010, the Brown Swiss Cattle Breeders Association initiated two new awards where Hull became the very first Historical Master Breeder Award winner and Sliker would win the inaugural Active Master Page 76 · COWSMO

Breeder Award.

In 1963, while judging a New Jersey dairy show, Wayne met Connie Freeman.

The couple married in 1965 Wayne, and the husband-wife duo developed a bond walking sideby-side developing the Top Acres herd. Connie eventually fed every Brown Swiss calf on their family farm ensuring the next generation got off to a great start. Looking to purchase a farm of their own, Wayne and Connie decided to head west and purchased their farm near St. Paris, Ohio, in 1974, where the Top Acres herd made its permanent home and rewrote the Brown Swiss history books.

All totaled, the Top Acres herd amassed 125 All-Americans and over 100 Reserve All Americans — both all-time records in the Brown Swiss breed. During that journey, Wayne and his Top Acres Team had earned 19 Grand Champion honors at National Brown Swiss Shows. At World Dairy Expo, North America’s premier Brown Swiss Show, the Top Acres herd amassed three Grand Champion Bulls, five Reserve Champion Cows, an Intermediate and Reserve Intermediate Champion Cow, three Junior Champion Heifers, and one Reserve Champion Heifer throughout the years. In breeding and caring for a complete herd, Top Acres was named the show’s Premier Exhibitor seven years and earned Premier Breeder at four shows. In addition, three different Top Acres bulls won Premier Sire Banners five times for having the offspring that made the deepest impact at the show. In 2017, the final elusive banner came home to hang in St Paris, Ohio, when Top Acres Supreme Wizard ET won Grand Champion at that year’s World Dairy Expo. In addition to Wizard, the most influential cows in Wayne’s life were: Jan’s Autumn Audrey, Kilravock Midnight Snow, Arnola Peggy Priscilla, Top Acres EJ Whizzbang, Top Acres Pre Bouquet, and Top Acres Coll Party who held the record for the breed’s top selling cow for well over a decade. The Top Acres cows also performed on the production side of the equation earning 12 National Performance Winner honors.

In addition to his legendary herd, Wayne became a soughtafter sales manager when his Modern Associates business was born in 1970. Just like the dairy farm enterprise, Connie played an integral role clerking all the sales. It was during this business adventure that his grade school and high school classmate, and long-time friend, the late Palmer Hoffman routinely joined the sales crew leading cattle preparation. Eventually Modern Associates managed sales in 25 states and by 2008 had managed seven of the top ten auctions to that date.

With a keen eye for dairy cattle, Mr. Brown Swiss became a sought-after judge eventually judging six shows at World Dairy Expo in the Ayrshire, Brown Swiss and Holstein breeds.

In addition, he judged a total of 40 national shows in North America throughout the years. Respected across the globe,

Wayne went on to judge dairy cattle shows in numerous countries and he became known as “John Wayne” in Japan as he wore his legendary cowboy hat while judging in Asia.

Due to his deep dairy cattle resume and life’s work, Wayne won two of the highest honors in the North American dairy community. In 1986, his fellow peers elected him as the 45th Klussendorf Association winner for his character, sportsmanship, ability, and endeavor … the dairy industry’s equivalent to being inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. He later served a pair of two-year terms as the organization’s president.

A decade later, National Dairy Shrine inducted the Top Acres

herd into its all-dairy breed Hall-of-Fame in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin, as its 1998 Distinguished Cattle Breeder. In supporting the nomination, the Holstein breed’s legendary R. Peter Heffering from Hanover Hill Farms wrote, “Wayne is one of the finest showmen in the business and, most importantly, always conducts himself as a first-class gentleman. Wayne has accomplished all the goals one could expect to attain in a lifetime of working with cattle.”
