Revitalizing an interest in dairy Haub recruits 4-Hers to show his animals

By Sherry Newell Contributing Writer

BOONE, Iowa – As a partner in the only dairy farm left in Boone County, Iowa, Jeremiah Haub was not surprised the dairy show at the county fair had dwindled in past years. But he was motivated to do something about it.

That something was a program he started to offer the county’s 4-H members a chance to show dairy animals from the 70-cow farm he and his brother operate west of Boone. By 2019, after several years of growth, there were 18 kids who brought 40 of the farm’s animals to the fair.

“Five or six years ago, we had a boy in 4-H and showing against yourself is kind of boring. So, we decided to open the farm up to other people,” said Haub, who five years ago returned to the dairy established by his mother, Kathy, and his late father, David, in 1976. Haub’s brother, Matt, farms with him. Haub’s wife, Angela, is a nurse.

Haub had been dairy superintendent at the Boone County Fair for 15 years, during which the turnout for every species was shrinking. He spoke to 4-H leaders about his idea for letting members show leased dairy animals, and before long, a group had formed that was ready to learn.

This year, 13 members are participating. Most of those involved

SHERRY NEWELL/DAIRY STAR

Jeremiah and Angela Haub (le ) work with 4-H members – (from le ) Kelsey Shakenberg, Carter Haub, Wesley Sharp, Riley Shakenberg, Wya Sharp, Emma Wiebold and Sophia Moorman – during a showmanship workshop June 24 at their dairy farm near Boone, Iowa. The Haubs started a program for kids to learn about dairy and take the farm’s animals to the county fair. live in town.

“These are kids who won’t clean out the cat litter box at home, and now they’re scrubbing poop off of cows,” Haub said. “You have the kids who come out the first time and don’t want to get dirty, and pretty soon they’re addicted to cows.”

There is plenty for each participant

to learn. Beginners come to the farm to choose their animal about a month before the fair. Their first year, they are restricted to spring calves; those with experience can choose older animals, including cows. Those who stay in the program can show the offspring of their previous projects and choose new animals.

The Haubs’ 70-cow dairy herd provides a choice of several breeds; Haub calls it a rainbow herd. Milking Shorthorns and Holsteins have always been there, and there is one Ayrshire. There are also Jerseys from the Burkhart family who runs Picket Fence Creamery Turn to HAUBS | Page 4

Jeremiah Haub plays the role of judge during a showmanship workout with kids – (from le ) Emma Wiebold Carter Haub and Wesley Sharp with parent, Sara Sharp holding a heifer in the back – at his dairy near Boone, Iowa. The Haubs’ farm is the last dairy in Boone County, and 4-H members are part of a program allowing them to show the dairy’s ca le at the county fair. near Woodward. All the Haubs’ milk goes to Picket Fence Creamery.

Once they have gotten a start with their animal, 4-Hers can visit the farm to work with their animal as often as they like. There are headlocks and chutes to make catching, washing and leading the cattle easier.

Haub provides showmanship and grooming advice.

“The big thing is the parents,” Haub said. “Some bring the kids out a couple times a week.”

Even when they begin with small calves, the kids work hard, he said.

“The kids begin to understand they have to make that animal walk,” Haub said. “They can’t expect it to lead automatically; they have to use some physical muscle.”

Like any youth who show livestock, Haub’s members experience disappointments.

Kelsey Shakenberg, of Ogden, is showing for the fifth time, but her first year was ruined when her calf got ringworm just before the fair.

Wesley Sharp, of Boone, had his first two animals die.

Still, each participant at a recent showmanship workout said the opportunity is rewarding.

“I just love animals, so when I found out I could do this, it was great,” Shakenberg said. “I have a real passion for my first cow, Opal. She’s a sweetheart.”

Sophia Moorman, of Ogden, said she has enjoyed getting to know the people involved with showing dairy.

“And I’ve done pretty well,” Moorman said. “I started to like being with cows.”

Sophia Moorman of Ogden, Iowa, prac ces se ng up her cow’s feet during prac ce at the Haub farm.

Moorman is a 4-H member who has shown Jeremiah Haub’s animals for several years.

Each 4-Her signs an official lease to be part of the program. The Haubs provide everything the 4-Hers need – feed, grooming equipment, halters – for a fee which began at $20 per member. This year, Haub increased the fee to $20 per animal.

Beyond showing at the fair, members of the group often visit the farm throughout the year. They also do something fun as part of the county fair show each year. In 2020, when the fair went on despite COVID-19, parents competed in a contest showing

“I just get enjoyment out of teaching them about dairy.”

JEREMIAH HAUB, DAIRY FARMER

their kids’ cattle. This year, a costume contest is planned during the fair, July 15-18.

While the Haubs have fulfilled their desire to create competition at the dairy show, it has not come without some grumbles from their own children, Sophia and Blake.

“There have been tears; there have been feelings hurt,” said their mother, Angela. “Emotions can run a little high.”

Blake has since graduated, but Sophia remains involved.

Since the Haubs’ herd is not registered, the 4-Hers are not able to show beyond the county fair. But the career paths of a few might be influenced by the experience.

Shakenberg sees herself pursuing a dairy-related career in the future. Another Sharp sibling, Wyatt, would like to work in animal transportation.

Those ideas reinforce Haub’s vision.

“I just get enjoyment out of teaching them about dairy,” he said. “It’s interesting to hear them say, ‘I didn’t know you had to work this hard to make food.’”

LELY VECTOR AUTOMATIC FEEDING SYSTEM Photo taken at Ahlgren Dairy.

Think it’s a High-Priced Fad?

Hear from owners who say it’s so much more!

• Fresh, properly mixed, nutritious rations served 8 to 10 times a day.

• Saves you labor in mixing feed rations for your cows.

• Do you want to take the weekend off? You can. Vector’s got this!

Mike Hanson from Goodridge, MN, started Vector feeding in September of 2016 (130 cows, dry cows, & heifers): “Originally, the Vector system was not part of our plans for our new robotic facility. But after studying the system and viewing a couple in operation, we can’t see feeding any other way!”

Rick & Sarah Ahlgren from Darwin, MN, started Vector feeding in June of 2020 (180 cows & dry cows): “The Lely Vector Feeding System has become a great asset to our farm.

We really like how it mixes and delivers fresh feed to our cows—in small batches, many times a day. It saves time and fuel for our dairy every day. We are so impressed with the system!”

Tim & Derek Rolf (Golden Sunrise Dairy Inc.) from McIntosh, MN, started Vector feeding in late 2019 (180 cows & 180 dry cows & heifers): “With heifers starting at 6 months all the way to milk cows, under one roof, the Vector allows us to feed an unlimited number of rations (we feed 6) with an unlimited number of ingredients. It also continually gives the cows a consistent mix and we all know cows love consistency!”

RUSHFORD, Minn. – The Dahl family does not think they will see another day similar to the one they had June 16.

That hot day in June, Josh and Steph Dahl, along with their three kids, Jaxie, 8, Cashton, 8, and Bricker, 5, welcomed one set of triplets, two sets of twins and two single-birth calves to their 200-cow farm, Dead End Dairy, near Rushford. The triplets and twins were all born within an hour and a half of each other.

“We probably won’t have another day like that in our life,” Josh said. “It was hectic.”

While the multiple births in one day is rare for the dairy, having triplets was a first for the Dahls. It also caught them by surprise.

“We didn’t know she was pregnant with triplets,” Josh said. “Normally we check by ultrasound for twins at 30-35 days so it’s early and (the calves are) small. We must have missed this one.”

The first single-birth calf was born right away in the morning when Josh first arrived in the barn for chores. Other than the new calf that morning, the day was fairly routine until Josh checked the dry cow pen around 7 p.m. He found one cow in the process of giving birth and another that would be ready soon. He decided to stick around to help the second cow because he knew she had twins. What he did not realize was the first cow was also having doubles.

“As I was helping the second cow, the first cow had popped out a second calf,” Josh said.

During this time, a third cow made her presence known.

“I knew she was also calving because she was going from cow to cow, trying to take calves,” Josh said.

Despite the cow being 10 days early, Josh did not think it was too strange.

“With this heat, my calvings have been all over,” Josh said. “I’ve had singletons come 10 days early, too.”

With four newborns and another cow that still needed to give birth, Josh went to find help from Steph, the kids and an employee before checking the last cow. He was glad he did.

“The first calf came out fast so I knew she probably had another one,” Josh said.

He was right. After the second calf was born, Josh thought the births were done.

“I half-jokingly said I better check for

a third,” he said. “Sure enough, there was a third one. If I hadn’t pulled all three and she would have had them by herself, I would have been looking for another mother. I wouldn’t have believed it because we’ve never had triplets before.”

The family and their employee were shocked and excited for the trio of Holsteins.

“Everyone was dumbfounded,” Steph said. “Josh was speechless. He was worried about the mom and calves. And it was super hot that night. He was sweating.”

The two heifers and one bull weighed 64.8 pounds, 61 pounds and 51.6 pounds.

“When they came out, we thought they were huge for triplets,” Steph said. “That’s why I wanted to go get the scale to weigh them.”

The Dahls also had no help from the cow in caring for her calves.

“She didn’t even pay attention to the calves,” Steph said. “She just went to lick the mineral block as we were all frantically trying to make sure they were all alive. I told the kids to go get beach towels from the house and they helped dry them off.”

All three were alive and healthy at birth.

“Thank God we got to her when we did and noticed she was calving,” Steph said.

“She wasn’t due, and if it wouldn’t have been for the other ones having their calves out there, we could have missed it and lost all three. It was a good thing those other cows decided to have their twins.”

The rest of the evening was spent getting calves in new pens, bringing in the cows and feeding the newborns.

“Josh pulled the last calf at 10:30 and we were still feeding calves because we had nine new ones plus the rest of them,” Steph said. “I don’t even know how many bottles we fed that night. It was nuts. It was a late night in the calf barn with all that colostrum.”

For now, the calves will live at Dead End Dairy until the heifers have been tested to see if they are reproductively sound.

“The first two were heifers so I thought I really had something with two twin heifers,” Josh said. “And then we pulled the third and it was a bull.”

If the females are freemartins, they will be sold. The Dahls sell all bull calves and any beef crossbred calves born on the farm.

The 6-year-old fourth-lactation cow that gave birth to the triplets is still recovering as the Dahls try to nurse her back to health.

Regardless of the outcome of the cow or the calves, the Dahls have lived a day they will never forget.

“It was hectic, but it’s been exciting,” Steph said.

Dairy ambassadors share dairy’s message across the Midwest

The Midwest Dairy Association sponsors a Dairy Ambassador program where college students serve as dairy advocates and share their dairy stories with consumers at events throughout the year. We profiled the ambassadors from North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa,, Illinois and Minnesota. he ambassador

Kate Czarny Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin School, major: I will be a senior at Southern Illinois University-Carbondale majoring in animal science Why is being a dairy ambassador important to you?

Being a dairy ambassador is important to me for a variety of reasons. The most important reason is my passion for the dairy industry and my belief that consumers should be educated on where their food comes from and the industry they rely on every day. I love being able to educate others while sharing my love for dairy.

What event are you most looking forward to as an ambassador and why? I am most looking forward to the Illinois State Fair. I’m very excited to be back in person on the fairgrounds and I think it will be awesome to be involved in the state fair as an ambassador.

Briley Lenkaitis Eldorado, Illinois School, major: I will be a senior at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign majoring in ag and consumer economics, ag business markets and managements.

Why is being a dairy ambassador important to you?

I grew up in the dairy industry and I would not be where I am today without it. I want to show people who do not have a dairy background how important this industry is and how much farmers truly care for their animals.

What has been the most fulfilling promotion or event you have been a part of so far as an ambassador? I enjoyed playing trivia with kids at the Marcoot Jersey Creamery Cheese Fest in Greenville, Illinois. Fellow ambassador Justin Huff and I let kids spin a wheel and they were asked a dairy question based on what they landed on. Kids were rewarded with dairy-themed prizes. I loved seeing kids answer questions and getting surprised by some of the answers. I also enjoyed the event overall. The Marcoots did a great job getting the public involved with dairy and promoting cheese and other dairy products.

Justin Huff

Olivia Ruffner

Dix, Illinois School, major: I will be a senior at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, majoring in animal science with a concentration in pre-veterinary medicine.

Bowling Green, Ohio School, major: I will be a sophomore at Iowa State University majoring in dairy science.

Why is being a dairy ambassador important to you? I believe in the importance of engaging with consumers about the dairy industry and sharing my dairy experiences.

Why is being a dairy ambassador important to you?

Being a dairy ambassador is important to me because I love promoting the dairy industry and as an ambassador I have many opportunities to do that. Also, because I’m from out-of-state, the ambassadorship allows me to meet new people and make connections in the industry.

What has been the most fulfilling promotion or event you have been a part of so far as an ambassador? I had the privilege to attend the Marcoot Jersey Creamery Cheese Festival. It was a very good event and a fun way to engage with consumers. I helped with the trivia table, and we asked questions to individuals about the dairy industry. The event was a great opportunity to share my passion for the industry. y

Megan Kueker West Union, Iowa School, major: I will be a junior this fall. I just completed my associate of science in agriculture education at Northeast Iowa Community College and will transfer to Iowa State University, majoring in agriculture communications with a minor in animal science.

Why is being a dairy ambassador important to you?

When I heard about the ambassador program it seemed really interesting and fun to me, while also being a good resume builder. It would allow me to share my love of the industry with others. I find that by being an ambassador it allows me to help spread the dairy story to consumers while also advocating for producers.

What event are you most looking forward to as an ambassador and why? Currently, I think the event that I am looking forward to is Breakfast on the Farm. It is an event held at our local community college (NICC) that allows for people to tour an actual dairy while interacting with a variety of people who all are somehow involved in the dairy industry. As an ambassador it gives a chance to utilize our platform to interact with the consumers and share our knowledge of the industry. It is a family friendly event so people of all ages are welcome to attend!

What event are you most looking forward to most as an ambassador and why? I am most looking forward to working at the Iowa State Fair. I am especially excited for this event because I have never attended this state fair but have heard great things about it!

Jessica Schmitt

Fort Atkinson, Iowa School, major: I will be a senior at Iowa State University and I am triple majoring in dairy science, international agriculture, and agricultural communications.

Why is being a dairy ambassador important to you? Being a dairy ambassador means that I get the opportunity to represent my family’s livelihood and that of many hard working people. I found a love for speaking with consumers and sharing the truth of dairy farming. It is important that they hear the correct story straight from the dairy community opposed to somewhere else.

What has been the most fulfilling promotion or event you have been a part of so far as an ambassador? My favorite event so far was Animal Learning Day hosted

by Iowa State Block & Bridle this spring. Community members around the Ames area gathered to learn more about animal agriculture. I worked alongside the Dairy Science Club’s booth teaching kids how to hand milk a cow. I also discussed animal nutrition, calf care and the importance of drinking milk.

a listener to and supporter for agricultural producers. Having grandparents who own a small farm in southern Minnesota has taught me that by listening to what producers have to say, what stories they have to tell and the history that producers have in agriculture shows that producing for America, is truly what they live for. Being able to say that I am an ambassador and advocate for dairy industries, the industry that supports me daily, is something that I am very proud of.

Ashley Hagenow

Madison Krueger

Poynette, Wisconsin

School, major: I will be a senior at University of Wisconsin-River Falls studying dairy science.

Arlington, Minnesota

School, major: I will be a junior at University of Minnesota majoring in agricultural communication and marketing.

Why is being a dairy ambassador important to you?

Serving as a dairy ambassador is important to me because while consumers are very satisfied with the nutritional value and quality of the dairy products they consume, I have learned through attending numerous webinars on consumer trends and interactions with consumers that there is a lack of trust in the dairy industry through being unaware of the onfarm practices of producing a dairy product from the cow to the grocery store and eventually to someone’s fridge or dinner table. With that in mind, my goal for the upcoming year is to connect with at least 10 consumers with no prior ties to agriculture as a way to share on-farm practices of dairy production and how milk is sustainably and ethically produced, all while sharing more about my favorite dairy products and their impact on our nutrition and well-being! I am achieving this goal through social media and in-person events, and I love any opportunity to advocate for the dairy industry and drive demand for dairy products that farmers have dedicated their lives’ work to producing.

What event are you most looking forward to as an ambassador and why? I am most looking forward to the Minnesota State Fair this year as a chance to connect with the largest audience that our ambassador team will come before to share stories about the dairy industry and its people. If the past year has taught us anything, it is that we crave human connection, so I am excited to once again have authentic conversations in-person with the fair’s attendees while sharing my story and the stories of others in the dairy industry. The “Great Minnesota Get Together” is the perfect opportunity to share key messages from organizations such as Midwest Dairy with consumers, and I am ready to consume a great deal of cheese and ice cream in the process!

Why is being a dairy ambassador important to you? I think it is important to educate the public and debunk the myths they may have about the dairy industry.

What event are you most looking forward to most as an ambassador and why? I am ecstatic to make an appearance at the Minnesota State Fair. Over 2 million people attended the State Fair in 2019, missing the 2020 State Fair no one can truly say how big the crowds will be in 2021. I want to say to people in attendance that the goal of dairy farmers is to produce a nutritious and healthy product that everyone can enjoy. If I can share that dairy farmers care, I will feel accomplished in my role as an ambassador. Additionally, I am excited to meet others including advocates, producers, representatives, or ambassadors like me, to absorb more knowledge that they have supporting dairy.

Turn to AMBASSADORS | Page 13

What has been the most fulfilling promotion or event you have been a part of so far as an ambassador? My event would have to be when I went to a small school in my area and did a presentation on from calf to cow. I took them on a journey from a newborn baby calf on my farm all the way to w when it gives birth to its own calf.

Con nued d from AMBASSADORS AMBASSA | Page 12 Why is being a dairy ambassador important to you?

Being a dairy ambassador is important to me because I grew up on my grandparents’ farm, which was dear to my heart. I felt like the cows really drove me to a future in agriculture, and being a dairy ambassador allows me to give back to those cows, farmers, and community that supported me growing up. I also love being able to not only learn from others but also teach others and share our passion of dairy together.

Emily Popp Royalton, Minnesota School, major: I will be a junior at University of MinnesotaTwin Cities majoring in agriculture communication and marketing with a minor in agriculture business.

Why is being a dairy ambassador important to you?

Being a dairy ambassador is important to me because it allows me to share dairy farmers’ stories to a variety of audiences in several different ways.

What has been the most fulfilling promotion or event you have been a part of so far as an ambassador? The most fulfilling event I have attended this year was Brickton Genetics’ Food Trucks on the Farm event. I worked with the Isanti County Dairy Princess and the 67th Princess Kay of the Milky Way to talk to many parents, children, and the public all day. We set up a sensory station where children touched different food items that cows and calves eat, such as grain, silage, calf starter, and calf milk replacer. Then visitors moved down the line to where Princess Kay and the Isanti County Dairy Princess handed out coloring books, cow hats, stickers, and other goodies. I enjoyed this event because it was nice to see how a smaller, three generation dairy like Brickton can shine a light on family farming. I also enjoyed seeing the kids’ faces light up with excitement.

Carmen Entzminger Carrington, North Dakota

School, major: I will be a sophomore at Minnesota State University-Moorhead majoring in social work.

Why is being a dairy ambassador important to you?

Being a dairy ambassador is important to me because I was raised on a dairy farm so I think it is important to inform consumers.

What has been the most fulfilling promotion or event you have been a part of so far as an ambassador? Dr. Dawn’s Dairy Day was the most fulfilling event I attended because I was able to inform people about dairy. I gave virtual dairy tours and answered questions.

What has been the most fulfilling promotion or event you have been a part of so far as an ambassador? I have really enjoyed the social media component while being a dairy ambassador. I started a page on instagram called The_ Scoop_on_Dairy and posting on there was definitely not in my comfort zone however because it wasn’t something I was super familiar with. I have been able to grow the most from that experience. p

Le Mars, Iowa

School, major: I will be a junior at South Dakota State University, majoring in agricultural leadership, while minoring in agricultural marketing and social media.

Why is being a dairy ambassador important to you? Being a dairy ambassador is important to me because the dairy industry has always been a part of my life, this is another way to advocate for the industry. Too many people are disconnected from agriculture, so I would like to help them get a better understanding through this role.

Johannah Nielsen Tyler, Minnesota

CONGRATS!

School, major: I will be a senior at South Dakota State University, double majoring in animal science with a pre-veterinary emphasis and dairy production.

Why is being a dairy ambassador important to you? I have been involved in the dairy industry for almost my entire life, so it has long been a passion of mine to advocate for an industry that has done so much for me and holds a special place in my heart. I think it’s extremely important to share the story of the dairy industry, especially our reasons why we do what we do, to the consumers as well as potential consumers who may be skeptical about our products and industry. I also think it’s important that we as ambassadors be a link between dairy farmers and those outside of agriculture, especially where there is an age gap.

What event are you most looking forward to as an ambassador and why?

I am looking forward to the days we have Breakfast on the Farm events and any other local events in the community that we attend. While I love advocating through social media, my favorite thing to do is talk directly with the public about the dairy industry. I always enjoy getting to share my dairy story while also listening to any concerns or questions they may have and then being able to share what I know or giving them resources to find more information. I also make sure to thank them for their support of the dairy industry because without them, we wouldn’t be able to do what we love while providing safe and nutritious dairy products.

Congratulations to all the Dairy Ambassadors!

Thank you for representing the dairy industry!

What has been the most fulfilling promotion or event you have been a part of so far as an ambassador? The most fulfilling events have been all of the open houses I attended for June Dairy Month. I am normally around the kids handing out cow hats, coloring books, and stickers. Their faces light up because they know what a cow is, even the really young ones, but do not realize these goodies are a fun way for them to be able to learn more. I see many of the kids multiple times because after being around the farm they have questions to ask me.

Morgan Kohl Watertown, South Dakota School, major: I will be a senior at South Dakota State University majoring in agronomy and animal science.

Why is being a dairy ambassador important to you? I want to serve as an advocate for the state’s dairy industry and help to promote the importance of dairy among the public, especially the youth.

What has been the most fulfilling promotion or event you have been a part of so far as an ambassador? The most fulfilling event I have been a part of was MoDak Dairy’s open house.

At this event I was able to take part in giving farm tours and answer many questions from people of all ages who did not come from a dairy farm background. It was truly rewarding to see their interest and excitement towards the dairy industry.

The Stuhr Transition-Nutrition Solution Both research and practical on-farm application demonstrate the consistent results producers see when feeding ANION BOOSTER™ and GLUCOSE BOOSTER™ in the pre-fresh and the early fresh cows.

The Stuhr Transition- Nutrition Solution is proven at the University and on the dairy to provide a palatable source of anions and an effective source of glucose precursors to help prevent Hypocalcemia and Ketosis.
