“We went from cleaning 2,500 stalls in 12 days down to four days and we are using less people during the sand removal process,”said Brad Gerrits, who is a partner in Breeze Dairy Group that milks 7,500 cows. “Using the stall plow allows us to remove more sand quicker and reduces hand shoveling by double.” “It’s a low maintenance, easy to use tool. The stall plow allows us to make one pass instead of two,” he added. “Basically, it boils down to simplicity. No motors, no moving parts.” If you are looking for or considering purchasing a new extractor, the MRF stall plow is the way to go. “If you already remove sand from stalls, this may be an easy way to cut time and costs.” PATENT PENDING

Ponterio family named Jackson County Outstanding Farm Family
Raising the best kids, cows priority for Melrose couple By Danielle Nauman danielle.n@dairystar.com
MELROSE, Wis. – It has not always been easy, but Frank and Kim Ponterio would not change the life they live on their 100-cow Jackson County dairy farm near Melrose, Wis. Recently, the Ponterios were honored as Jackson County Outstanding Farm Family by
the Jackson County Farm Bureau and the Black River Falls FFA Alumni. “It’s such an honor to be selected for this,” Frank said. “Especially being judged by your own community. Is really makes our family humbled.” The decision to become dairy farmers was an easy one for Frank and Kim, who met in 1980 as students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison
DANIELLE NAUMAN/DAIRY STAR
The Ponterio family – from leŌ, Frank and Kim, with three of their children, Victor, Vanessa and Vinnie – was named Jackson County’s Outstanding Farm Family. They milk 100 cows near Melrose, Wis.

Both were raised on dairy farms and both lost their fathers at young ages – Frank at the age of 4 and Kim at the age of 10. “Frank and I have always had farming in our blood,” Kim said.

ConƟned from PONTERIO | Page 2 playing drums in local bands. Vanessa is a dairy science major at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls and Victor will be a senior at Melrose-Mindoro High School, where he will continue his high school football career this fall. FFA and 4-H have played integral roles in the lives of all four children, with all having held a variety of ofces and being recognized for a vast number of awards. In addition to those activities, they have been involved with many other high school and community activities including sports and band. “Our kids were literally raised in the barn,” Kim said with a laugh. “They have great work ethics, and their willingness to work hard has paid off for them in their sports, 4-H and FFA accomplishments, and now in their jobs as adults.” The Ponterio farm is truly a family affair. Frank handles the majority of the crop work and the chores around the barn, while Kim is responsible for milking and herd health. Their children pitch in and help when they are home. In addition to the family, the Ponterios have some hired help that play a big role in their operation. Last fall, the family had to come together when a cow kicked Kim, resulting in a fractured tibia. The injury created choring trouble, but everyone stepped up and lled in to cover things while Kim recuperated. Being the only child left at home, Victor picked up extra chores, and Vanessa came home each weekend from River Falls, while Vinnie came home from La Crosse to ll in when Victor was unable to milk. Even Valerie made it home from Indiana to take a weekend for Vanessa. “They hung in there great and did so much. I’m so thankful for that,” Kim said. “They are my own outstanding family.” The Ponterios farm 500 acres on four farms near Melrose, raising primarily corn and alfalfa to feed their herd, which includes feeding out Holstein steers. The four farms all vary greatly in soil composition, making some cropping years challenging. “We have everything from sand to clay, river bottoms to hills with rocks,” Frank said. Of their 500 acres, 100 are irrigated. “Installing irrigation was huge,” Frank said. “It allowed our crops to be more consistent.” They are currently milking 100 head of registered Holsteins in a tiestall barn. The herd lactation average is over 25,000 pounds on a three-times-per-day milking

with 4 percent butterfat and 3.2 percent protein tests, which makes them the second high averaging herd in the county. They have received awards for a low somatic cell count, herd production awards and several cows have won high production awards as well. The Ponterios had previously milked three times per day and had nearly reached the 30,000 pound mark for their herd average. They recently returned to the practice again since the rst of the year. “The cows love it, and do super with the three-timea-day milkings, if you’re up to doing the extra milking,” Kim said. The Ponterios focus their breeding program on production, especially high fat and protein. They also place great importance on breeding for correct feet and legs, using primarily genomic bulls from Select Sires. They enjoy showing, and use higher-type bulls on their show animals. The Ponterios are always looking for ways to improve their herd and farming operation to become more efcient and economical. DANIELLE NAUMAN/DAIRY STAR “Right now we are trying sand bedding, and the Vanessa and Kim Ponterio take Ɵme to feed the cows are loving that,” said Kim of one of their more recent changes in management practices. “Robots would calves together on their 100-cow dairy near Melrose, Wis. be a great goal for the future.” The Ponterios are not only focused on making their herd the best they can. They also devote time and energy to making their community better, too. Frank represents their three-county area on the corporate board of Dairy Farmers of America (DFA). Kim serves on the Jackson County Fair Board, is the president of the MelroseMindoro FFA Alumni and an active 4-H leader at the club and county level. They are members of the United Methodist Church in Melrose, where Kim has served as a Sunday School teacher. Each Fourth of July, the family hosts the Travis Olson Memorial Tractor Ride, which begins at their farm. In 2009, they were the hosts of one of the largest dairy breakfasts held in Jackson County. All of these activities have played an important role in turning their children into well-rounded adults who are valuable and productive members of their communities, which has always been a top priority for Frank and Kim. DANIELLE NAUMAN/DAIRY STAR “We just try to make a living as dairy farmers and Vinnie Ponterio takes care of preparing the milkraise our kids to be service learners and gain leadership house for milking Ɵ me. Vinnie is a graduate of UWabilities along the way,” Kim said. “To be recognized for La Crosse and helps on the farm when he is not that was surely not expected.” working at his job.

Iona native named Iowa Dairy Princess
Grober, Buddenberg crowned royalty By Krista Kuzma
krista.k@dairystar.com
DES MOINES, Iowa – Starting Sept. 1, Iowa dairy farmers will have two new faces representing them. The evening before the start of the Iowa State Fair, Rachel Grober, 17, was crowned Iowa Dairy Princess while Josie Buddenberg, 18, was named Alternate Iowa Dairy Princess. Grober, who represented the Guernsey breed, is the daughter of Todd and Sherry Grober, who milk 130 cows near Iona, Iowa. Buddenberg, who represented Winneshiek County, is the daughter of Bruce and Julie Buddenberg, who milk 300 cows near Decorah, Iowa.

16, Grober became certied to articially inseminate cows. “I’ve been able to take those skills and apply them on my own farm with my own herd of cattle,” Grober said. “I’ve always been really interested in the genetic part of the dairy industry.” Grober owns eight of the cows on her family’s farm, including three Guernseys. “On our farm we have a little of each breed. I convinced my father to have a little bit of everything. I rst got started with Guernseys last year when I wrote an essay to win the free Guernsey heifer calf and I won,” she said. While serving as Iowa Dairy Princess, Grober hopes to use her on-farm experience to talk to others about dairy. “I hope to create a broader base so producers and consumers can stand on the same level and talk to each other comfortably and connect about what really happens [on the farm],” she said. “I’m looking forward to celebrating the people behind the product and celebrating all the hard work producers do to help make sure we stay sustainable with our environment, the land and the cows, and the products we produce.” Similarly, Buddenberg also wants to use her experience from her family’s farm to connect with people. “There’s a lack of condence in our consumers these days, so I really want to get out there and tell my dairy story personally to the consumers to help ensure their condence in our products and what we do to keep our cows healthy,” she said. “I think it’s very important to teach people where their milk comes … and all the processes it goes through to ensure the quality, and safety and that they’re consuming nothing but a safe and wholesome product from us.” In her role, Buddenberg said she is the voice for the dairy farmers in Iowa. “They’re busy producing the product. They don’t have time to get out there and talk to consumers so I’m looking forward to this opportunity to be their voice,” said Buddenberg, who is a freshman at Des Moines Area Community College. Grober said she and Buddenberg will use social media to reach people who they are not able to meet in person. In the future, Buddenberg hopes to return to her family’s farm and work alongside her siblings while also having an industry job in agriculture youth development. “As a kid, I was really involved in 4-H and FFA, so I want to help those organizations,” she said. Grober plans to attend Iowa State University in the fall of 2018 and would like to work in communications or the genetics side of a dairy company. Until then, Grober and Buddenberg are excited to represent the dairy farms of their state as the Iowa Dairy Princess and Alternate Iowa Dairy Princess.

ADRIAN, Minn. – Success, it has been said, is a combination of hard work and persistence. Brian and Joyce Gengler know this equation well. They operate a 420-cow family dairy farm that is now in its fourth generation near Adrian, Minn. The couple farm together with their two sons. Kevin and his wife, Jenny, have a son, Matthew, 9. They are anticipating the birth of a baby girl in December. Allen and his wife, Becky, have a son, Mason, 3. Allen and Becky are looking forward to the birth of twin boys in November. Within the past four years, the family has upgraded and built new facilities to welcome more family members home to the farm. A new freestall barn was erected at Gengler Dairy in the summer of 2016. The barn is 108- by 400-feet and has 365 freestalls. Each freestall is equipped with a water mattress that is bedded four times a week with chopped straw. Long-day lighting illuminates the barn and manure is removed by an automatic scraper system. Each cow wears an electronic ID necklace that tracks her daily activity and the amount of time she spends ruminating. The barn features a fully automated tunnel ventilation system. A wall of 28 fans, each measuring 54 inches. pulls air across and through the barn, creating a constant breeze of 8 miles per hour. Under the auspices of the AGRI Program, the Genglers received a $25,000 Livestock Investment Grant from the Minnesota Department of Agriculture to help fund their new facilities. “The cows love the new barn,” Kevin said. “We have installed sprinklers over the feed line, but we’ve only used them a few times. The fans alone seem to be enough to keep the cows comfortable during hot weather.”
“We will see maybe a ve pound per head drop in daily milk production during the worst hot weather,” Brian said. “In our old barn, we would see a drop of up to 20 pounds. And the recovery from the heat in our new barn is almost instant.” The freestall barn came after the family installed a different parlor. “It was taking us nine hours a day to do the milking in our stanchions,” Kevin said. In 2013, the Genglers bought a used double-12 parallel parlor from a dairy farm in Harris, Iowa. “The parlor was bigger than what we wanted, but the price was right,” Brian said. Doing much of the work themselves, the Genglers moved the parlor to their farm and began to milk their cows in it in November of 2013. None of this would have been possible without the previous generations starting the farm. Brian’s parents, Paul and Loretta, purchased their farm in 1963. Shortly after Paul moved to the farmsite, he bought about a dozen dairy cows from his father, J.P., and began dairying. As a kid, Brian started to help with milking. His dad had a vacuum pump, two Surge belly buckets and 14 wooden stanchions.” Due to his father’s debilitating arthritis, Brian and his brother, Lyle, and their mother took over milking. “I think the last time I saw Dad milk a cow was when I was 13,” Brian said. “We milked every morning before school and every night after we got home. That continued even after I began taking classes at Minnesota West Community and Technical College in Worthington.” In 1977, after 2.5 years of college, Brian got the opportunity to rent a quarter section of land not far from his parents’ farm. That fall, just before their rst harvest, Brian and Joyce were wed. “We went on our honeymoon in November and there was a snowstorm while we were gone,” Joyce said. “The day after we got back from our honeymoon, we were out picking corn by hand on the headlands so that we could get a combine into the eld.” Joyce and Brian took over the dairy herd from Brian’s parents in 1983.

then, the operation had grown to 35 cows. The Gengler family was also beginning to grow. Brian and Joyce have six children: Aleta, Emily, Sarah, Maria, Kevin and Allen. “All of our kids helped around the farm when they were growing up, even the girls,” Brian said. “All four of our daughters served as the Nobles County Dairy Princess when they were seniors in high school,” Joyce said. By 1994, the Gengler dairy herd had grown to about 100 cows. That year, they built a freestall barn to house their cattle but continued to milk in a set of 24 stanchions they had installed in their original dairy barn. Then the Genglers’ herd
was hit by an outbreak of bovine viral diarrhea. “I saw cows go from looking good to being dead in 36 hours,” Brian said. “We had been vaccinating for BVD, but the vaccines that we were using at that time were ineffective.” Joyce also remembered the losses. “It’s such a helpless feeling to watch cows get sick and then die within a few days’ time,” Joyce said. When the BVD outbreak ended, the Genglers’ herd had been reduced to 48 head. “We didn’t know if we could survive nancially,” Brian said. “But I spoke to several of the businesses that we patronize around town and they said that if we could make a

I will never forget the kindness and understanding that those folks extended to us.” Things were tough for the Genglers for some time as they rebuilt their herd. “Joyce’s folks helped us, my folks helped us, and our kids helped us,” Brian said. “We got through it as a family.” While in high school, both Kevin and Allen expressed an interest in joining their family’s dairy operation. With an eye toward that goal, the Genglers purchased 55 head of young heifers in 2007.

I enjoy being outside and being able to work with my family and watching our kids grow up.” Since making these additions in the last few years, these dreams are reality. “Everything seems a lot easier now that we’ve got our new facility up and running,” Brian said. “But Joyce and I didn’t do this expansion for us. We did it for our kids and for the future generations of our family.”

said. Since then, their membership has only increased, including people as young as 13 years old. Most of the people involved in the club are farmers or have farming backgrounds, although that is not a necessity for membership. Ofcers hold a one-year term and meetings are held the rst Wednesday of the month at the American Legion in Plainview. During the summer, the club plans a 50-mile tractor ride along with the annual club picnic; however, the largest event happens every year during Corn on the Cob Days in Plainview, held each year in mid August. The events kick off on Friday when the members bring their tractors to the nursing home parking lot to be on display. On Saturday, they host the Tractor Games – four events for club members to participate in and for community members to watch. The games include the barrel roll, where a 50-gallon barrel is rolled with the front of a tractor; corn dunking, a two-tractor team tries to dunk a 3-foot replica of an ear of corn suspended in the air in a barrel; the push bar, where a team of three people must push a tractor
PLAINVIEW, Minn. – Just as much as Paul McNallan loves cows, he loves tractors and farm equipment. Since the beginning of the year, the Kellogg, Minn., dairy farmer has been serving his one-year term as the president of Greenwood Prairie Classic Iron Club, which is based in Plainview, Minn. “It’s for anyone with a love of old iron,” said McNallan, who milks 850 cows with his family. “It’s a pretty laid back organization.” Although people in the club do not need to own any iron to be included, many of the nearly 100 members do. McNallan estimated the club members to own about 200 pieces of equipment combined. There are several kinds and years of tractors, with one of the oldest being a 1936 Oliver Hart Parr. Members also own balers, combines, and road graders, Turn to MCNALLAN | Page along with a few classic cars, including a 1929 Ford Model A. Perhaps the oldest pieces in the club are threshers and balers dating back to the 1800s. “About anything you can dream up, we’ve got it,” said McNallan, who has been a member since the club’s inception. The club started in 2009 when a local farmer put an ad in the paper looking for others who were also interested in classic iron. “We thought KRISTA KUZMA/DAIRY STAR if we would get Paul McNallan is the president of the Greenwood Prairie about 10 people, Classic Iron Club and is pictured with his 1939 Graham we would be lucky.

Their farm owns about 20 tractors with about six that are older tractors not used on a regular basis; however, no tractor – no matter how old or small – is off limits. “We’re not afraid to hook them up if we have to,” McNal-

lan said. His dad, who was also a farmer, told McNallan stories of what having tractors was like in his earlier farming years. “He said during World War II it was hard to keep tractors running because parts were in short supply,” McNallan said. “They had to do a lot more xing on their own.” Although he appreciates the older tractors, McNallan likes the benets newer tractors provide. “Nowadays tractors have way more horse power and the
efciency is so much better now, too,” he said. “They’re heavy, more powerful and reliable, and much more sophisticated. It takes a lot more help from the dealers to x them because of all the sensors and computers.” But regardless of whether they are old or new, big or small, McNallan likes tractors and being a part of his local classic club. McNallan has also enjoyed being the club’s president this year. “I like the camaraderie,” he said. “It’s a good job and a good time.”

“As I went through school, I was interested in how to save the world and what’s the best way to live, and this and that. It all kind of led to food supply issues and sustaining communities.” AMY FENN
Crawford County. She chose the location, she said, because it’s halfway to Madison and because land is more affordable. Plus, the rugged, hilly landscape reminds her of the West Coast. Fenn understands that building a farm – even a small one – from practically nothing but a patch of land might not be easy. “I am going to free fall through my savings with hopes that I will catch myself when I have a product to sell next fall,” Fenn said. “If that doesn’t pan out … I will get a job out here.” Fenn has work to do. She spoke of getting a cabin on her land this fall and living there in three months. On the day of the pasture walk, Fenn had questions about laying out paddocks, installing water lines in the pastures, along with soil fertility and its pH. She said she will apply for nancial assistance for fences and water lines through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) administered by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). Regarding the layout and shape of the paddocks, Fenn said she would like to leave three to ve acres at the center of the hilltop as a calving area and a place to stockpile forage for winter feed. She also envisions running water lines around the contours of the hills and fencing paddocks in the shape of pizza slices. Crawford County Extension Agriculture Agent Vance Haugen hinted that it’s probably not realistic. “It’s really difcult to make that work well,” he said. “Almost everyone has gone away from having some sort of pie or whatever.” Turning to the soil, the organic matter content was at 2.7 percent, which is “OK for this part of the world,” Haugen said. But phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) levels, he said, are almost nothing. The land has been hayed, but the Seaton Silt Loam soil offers high yield potential, Haugen said. Phosphorus levels should at least be in the 20-parts per million (ppm) range, he said, and potassium should be in the 40 ppm range, at a minimum. The soil pH is 6.1; a little low for alfalfa, but clover, some grasses and meadow fescue can grow well at the pH, said Haugen. He suggested that Fenn work on adjusting the pH rst, and then focus on building P and K levels. One suggestion was to start repairing the soil by conventional methods and then gradually switch to organic ways. Robert Bauer, a grazing broker for Southwest Badger RC&D, discussed contract grazing, stocking rates and the role of microorganisms in soil. He said the activity of certain microorganisms slows as the soil temperatures rise. Those organisms play a role in how plants take up nutrients. Using a soil probe, Bauer checked the temperature in two spots – where the grass stood two inches tall and where it was 12 inches high. He found that the temperature under the taller growth was almost 10 degrees lower. Haugen said leaving the residual growth might lessen the severity of the so-called summer slump. That’s the time during July and August when moisture is low, temperatures are high and pasture growth slows. Fenn was advised to get rid of the polywire that was attached to her fencer. Replacing the section with solid wire and going to polywire farther down would help the fence deliver its electricity. And, a couple of farmers suggested she move her solar-powered fencer and its grounding rod away from the well. Doing so would lower the chances of stray voltage. “You don’t want any electricity running through your water. Cattle are very sensitive,” Haugen said.
Bio-Cal: Research Backed, Field Proven In 2016, we partnered with an independent research farm to demonstrate the impact Bio-Cal can have when added to alfalfa fertility programs often used in the Midwest (0-0-60 and DAP). The result: A 10.7 percent yield increase, or almost a 1/2 ton more hay per acre, in the seeding year. We’ve recommended applying calcium to forages for over 30 years to support high-yielding forages with outstanding nutritional value. With over 32 percent calcium in both soluble and slow-release forms, Bio-Cal has helped farms across the Midwest make big improvements to crop yields and feed efficiency. If you’re looking for a proven forage product with positive ROI, consider adding Bio-Cal to your program.

Williams brings new ideas to extension youth specialist position Agricultural educator passionate about role despite non-farm background By Danielle Nauman danielle.n@dairystar.com
MADISON, Wis. – Fate is what seems to have brought Kalyanna Williams to Wisconsin to become the Extension Youth Specialist in the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s dairy science department, a position she began fulltime on May 15. Having grown up in Chicago along with attending high Kalyanna Williams school in Phoenix, Williams does not Extension Youth have the standard Specialist/ background that UW-Madison might be expected for a position focused on creating learning opportunities geared toward youth interested in the dairy industry. But her journey in nding the dairy community has given her a passion to be of service in the industry. “This position is a perfect t for me,” Williams said. A meandering path to the dairy industry The dairy industry did not entice Williams until her college years. Williams began her post-secondary career with the intentions of going to vet school. Fate led her down a different path, however. Williams attended Tuskegee University in Alabama. During her time at Tuskegee, Williams landed an internship at Iowa State University, working on a pork-based research project. It was here that fate rst stepped in, and she transferred from the pork research project to one in the dairy science department, focused on feed research. Williams returned to Tuskegee after that summer with new ideas in her head. She obtained an internship on a nearby goat dairy and eventually worked into a position there as a milker. By the time she had completed her undergraduate studies, Williams knew she was on a different path than the one to vet school, and instead decided to continue her education in dairy science. Another intervention of fate came when she Googled dairy science graduate programs and learned about the dairy science department at UW-Madison. During her graduate studies, Williams focused on a study of Holstein heifers, looking at the potential genetic parameters of feed efciency. Williams also worked to gain some practical dairy farm experience working with the dairy herd at the Marsheld Agricultural Research Station. A unique blend of production ag and community awareness While her studies and experiences seemed to lean towards production agriculture, Williams also had a great passion for community service, leadership and outreach. Growing up in Chicago, she was heavily involved in community service activities, which led her to join several organizations throughout her education career. She became outreach coordinator for several of those groups, and worked with many youth in underserved populations, primarily talking with them about preparing for agricultural and science based careers. Williams found that she enjoyed working in that capacity.
That led her to deciding she would like to be involved with teaching in the K-12 age group, but she also knew that she did not want to go back to school to obtain a teaching degree. At that time, the extension youth specialist position came open, and Williams found her niche, teaching and mentoring youth interested in careers in the dairy industry. Improving experiences at Badger Dairy Camp Williams has now completed three months in her new position, arguably some of the busiest months of the year. She coordinated this summer’s successful Badger Dairy Camp; as well as facilitating the three 4-H Area Animal Science Days held around the state, along with the state 4-H judging contest and work at the Wisconsin Junior State Fair. Now that the dust of the summer is settling, Williams is turning her sights to the future, working with her team to determine what programming improvements can be made. “At Badger Dairy Camp, participants expressed that they felt the camp was the same each year, and after a year or two, there was nothing new for them to learn,” Williams said. That observation is leading her to work to create an upper-level type extension of the current Badger Dairy Camp, geared towards participants who are ready for new experiences. “That would open up more spots in the traditional Badger Dairy Camp for new participants, and would allow us to better prepare for both audiences,” Williams said. Outreach to non-traditional dairy youth Another area Williams is excited to explore is an emerging relationship with the Chicago High School for Agricultural Sciences. She was able to use her experiences to bring several students to the Badger Dairy Camp. Before Williams joined the dairy science department, a cannulated cow had been given to the Chicago school. Williams is working to develop a threeday workshop in which educators from the UW dairy science department will be able to teach the high school staff more about their cow, focusing not only on health, wellness and nutrition, but also how they can use her in their teaching program. Another program that will benet from Williams’ own unique experiences is the Farm and Industry Short Course (FISC). Williams will take on recruitment for the school, and looks to establish a diversity and inclusion program to help attract non-traditional FISC students. “The traditional FISC student comes because Grandpa went to FISC, and Dad went to FISC. Sadly, there are becoming fewer farms, and therefore fewer farm students,” Williams said. “We need to nd ways to reach out to the urban community.” Regardless of whether or not fate played a hand in bringing Williams to her current position, her experiences and attraction to animal agriculture, and the dairy industry, she is looking towards the future. Williams wants to develop a passion for the dairy industry in those who were not raised on farms. Williams feels this will help decrease the disconnect that pervades public awareness of dairy production.

The Feltmann family – (from leŌ) Chris holding Cameron and Heather; Corey holding Emily, KaƟe and Olivia; LyneƩe and Dennis; Dave, Britney, Cherie and Tyler Smith; and Chad, Cara, Carly and Chloe – shows at the Carver County Fair every year. This summer, they brought 23 animals to the fair. The Feltmanns milk 250 cows near Norwood Young America, Minn.
A family affair Feltmanns show 23 animals at county fair By Jennifer Coyne jenn@dairystar.com
WACONIA, Minn. – On the last day of dairy cattle shows at the Carver County Fair, held in Waconia, Minn., the Feltmann family is scattered throughout the barn – watering cattle, cleaning up the aisles, moving animals to and from the judging area, and nding time to grab a quick bite to eat
before another show begins. Days like Aug. 11 are ones the Feltmann family savors. “We all have so much fun, and we’re all so happy to be here,” Cherie (Feltmann) Smith said. Smith and her three brothers, Corey, Chad and Chris Feltmann, and their seven children partake in the county fair dairy shows every year. For the 2017 season, the Feltmanns brought

14 milking cows and nine heifer calves and yearlings to the fair. “We started showing ourselves through 4-H, and as our kids have gotten older we’ve brought more to the fair. One year, we had 11 animals here, but this is by far the most we’ve ever brought,” said Chad of the 23-animal string. Chad and his brothers milk 250 cows near Norwood Young America, Minn., with their parents, Dennis and Lynette. Preparation for show season begins in the early spring for the family, as Chad and Corey help the children pick out their show-worthy animals. “It’s a lot of hard work,” Corey said. “You break them to lead and then separate out the ones that you really
like and put them on a show diet. I’ve seen a lot of animals, and I like the ones that are big and full of type.” The animals are then housed in a separate facility, where the kids can care for them. “I knew my kids weren’t going to grow up on a farm, but it’s pretty important to me that they’re involved on the family farm. My kids don’t just show up on show day … they’re putting in a good share of the work throughout the summer, just like their cousins,” said Smith, whose family lives in town and leases the animals through 4-H. Smith’s daughter, Britney, agreed. “I love being around the animals on Grandpa’s farm, following my uncles Turn to FELTMANN | Page 14

around and having fun,” said Britney, who brought four heifers to the 4-H show. Britney and her brother, Tyler, are the oldest Feltmann cousins and show some of the larger animals. “We’ve always had this unwritten rule that the youngest kids get to show the youngest calf, no matter what show it is,” Lynette said. Chris, Chad and Corey show the cows in the open class. “It’s really so much fun
having us all here, showing as a family,” Smith said. “When we’re not in the show ring, we’re playing card games or passing the football outside.” The week of the fair is a hectic time for the Feltmanns, but working together to accomplish all the chores, both on the fairgrounds and back home on the farm, makes the week run smoothly. In a typical day, Chad and Corey oversee the herd, while Chris is responsible for feed management. During the fair,

the brothers take on different roles to make sure all the animals are cared for. Chad milks the cows in the morning before heading to the fair, while Chris continues his feeding responsibilities. When Chad leaves with Corey to help the children take care of the fair animals, Chris takes over any chores related to herd health at the farm. Throughout the day, Corey oversees the show cows, but then heads home in the evening to cover the milking shift. “In the afternoon, I’m here (at the fair) helping the
kids clean up, and then I hurry back home to milk the rest of the cows,” Corey said. “Cherie and the kids are here all the time watching the cows.” As a school cook, Smith, with the help of her mother, provides an ample amount of food throughout fair week. From hot turkey sandwiches to pans of sweets that cover the show box, not one of the 17 Feltmanns or anyone else passing through the barn goes hungry. Smith’s husband, Dave, also takes off from his fulltime job in the cities to help out
with chores at the fair. “This means so much to the kids and grandkids,” Lynette said. “Farming is hard work, and it’s so special when we can all do it together. They’ve put a lot of hard work into it and that’s great to see it all come together.” Dennis agreed. “I’m impressed,” he said. “I never thought we’d be here, with all these animals and all of our family helping together.” Turn to FELTMANN | Page 15

Tyler and Cherie Smith line up for the selecƟon of junior champion at the District 5 Holstein Show at the Carver County Fair. The Feltmanns know they could not bring this many animals to the fair without the lending hands of long-time friends Andrew Stuewe, Mark Rolf, Dale Schmidt, Dean Worm and Dean and April Kamps and family who tie their Guernseys in with the herd As Aug. 11 capped off another memorable year showing at the Carver County Fair, the Feltmann family was named premier breeder and exhibitor of the District 5 Holstein Show, among
other titles presented throughout the day. “Doing well is nice, but it’s not everything,” Corey said. “We like how much the kids appreciate showing with us. They could care less how they place – whether it’s rst or last.” With another year of showing behind them, the Feltmanns are already thinking of next year’s string and the memories that will be made.

Modern corn genetics have been engineered to dry down faster, resulting in harder kernels. This reduces starch availability in the rumen and increases the amount of starch found in your manure which is costing you money.
Rugged Rock processes your high moisture corn as fine as you want using a horizontal grinding system. Fine grinding results in greater starch digestibility in your animals compared to rolled or coarsely ground high moisture corn, increasing your herds milk production and decreasing your feeding cost.
We grind at your site and are now taking bookings for the fall custom grinding season! Call John or Kyle today!

DAIRY CALENDAR
Four Wisconsin dairy farm families open their farms to the public for a free guided tour, ice cream, and an evening of discussion focused on working to strengthen the state’s rural communities. The series of ACE (Agricultural Community Engagement®) On-theFarm Twilight Meetings, Aug. 28, 29, 30 and 31, are free and open to community members, educators, leaders, local and state elected ofcials, conservation ofcials and dairy and livestock producers. At all four dairies, the farm tour begins at 6 p.m., with ice cream served at 7 p.m., followed by the facilitated Q&A to end by 8:30 p.m. Mon., Aug. 28, hosted by Brooks Farms, N1757 Cty. Rd. A, Waupaca, Wis. (Waupaca County). Ron and Zoey Brooks are a father-daughter farming duo on their family’s sixthgeneration dairy and grain farm. They milk 250 Holstein dairy cows and raise crops on 1,600 acres. Ron serves as CEO, managing the overall direction and crop farming, with Zoey managing the dairy as COO. They are planning an expansion to triple the dairy herd, with a continued focus on conservation, vertical integration, and inclusive succession planning for future generations. Tue., Aug. 29, hosted by Mar-Bec Dairy, W962 Cty. Rd. NN, Mondovi, Wis. (Buffalo County). Marty Hallock is a rst-generation dairy farmer who began milking 40 cows in 1990. Today, he owns and operates Mar-Bec Dairy with his wife Becky, and their sons, Jonathon and Josh, where they milk 925 cows and raise 1,000 youngstock at their farm and neighboring farms, and raise corn and alfalfa on 1,850 acres of owned and rented land. The Hallocks focus on building an environment at their dairy for both cows and people to excel and enjoy. They have 17 full-time and 10-12 part-time employees. Wed., Aug. 30, hosted by Cozy Nook Farm, S11W30780 Summit Ave./Hwy 18, Waukesha, Wis. (Waukesha County). Cozy Nook Farm was established by the Wendt family in 1834 and is now owned and operated by Tom and Joan (Wendt) Oberhaus and their son, Charlie. The dairy is primarily a working dairy farm with 65 cows, mostly registered Brown Swiss and Guernsey cows. For more than 50 years, the farm has also grown and sold pumpkins and fall decorations. Each fall, they run a Fall Market with a variety of pumpkins, squash and gourds, sell Christmas trees and decorations after Thanksgiving, and offer farm tours in the fall and spring. Thur., Aug. 31, hosted by Ripp’s Dairy Valley, LLC, 6626 Ripp Dr., Dane, Wis. (Dane County). Brothers Chuck, Gary and Troy Ripp own and operate Ripp’s Dairy Valley farm along with their mom, Eileen. Many family members are involved in day-to-day operations, milking 985 cows and raising crops on 1,800 owned and rented acres. Their focus on comfort and productivity of cows has allowed them to expand from about 260 cows in 1975 to current size. All four meetings are free and open to the public. Walk-ins are welcome or, to help us prepare, please RSVP to Professional Dairy Producers at www.pdpw.org, 800-947-7379 or mail@pdpw.org. Precision management in calf care is needed as there are many ways to add value to these heifers before they join the milking string.

DAIRY CALENDAR
Four Wisconsin dairy farm families open their farms to the public for a free guided tour, ice cream, and an evening of discussion focused on working to strengthen the state’s rural communities. The series of ACE (Agricultural Community Engagement®) On-theFarm Twilight Meetings, Aug. 28, 29, 30 and 31, are free and open to community members, educators, leaders, local and state elected ofcials, conservation ofcials and dairy and livestock producers. At all four dairies, the farm tour begins at 6 p.m., with ice cream served at 7 p.m., followed by the facilitated Q&A to end by 8:30 p.m. Mon., Aug. 28, hosted by Brooks Farms, N1757 Cty. Rd. A, Waupaca, Wis. (Waupaca County). Ron and Zoey Brooks are a father-daughter farming duo on their family’s sixthgeneration dairy and grain farm. They milk 250 Holstein dairy cows and raise crops on 1,600 acres. Ron serves as CEO, managing the overall direction and crop farming, with Zoey managing the dairy as COO. They are planning an expansion to triple the dairy herd, with a continued focus on conservation, vertical integration, and inclusive succession planning for future generations. Tue., Aug. 29, hosted by Mar-Bec Dairy, W962 Cty. Rd. NN, Mondovi, Wis. (Buffalo County). Marty Hallock is a rst-generation dairy farmer who began milking 40 cows in 1990. Today, he owns and operates Mar-Bec Dairy with his wife Becky, and their sons, Jonathon and Josh, where they milk 925 cows and raise 1,000 youngstock at their farm and neighboring farms, and raise corn and alfalfa on 1,850 acres of owned and rented land. The Hallocks focus on building an environment at their dairy for both cows and people to excel and enjoy. They have 17 full-time and 10-12 part-time employees. Wed., Aug. 30, hosted by Cozy Nook Farm, S11W30780 Summit Ave./Hwy 18, Waukesha, Wis. (Waukesha County). Cozy Nook Farm was established by the Wendt family in 1834 and is now owned and operated by Tom and Joan (Wendt) Oberhaus and their son, Charlie. The dairy is primarily a working dairy farm with 65 cows, mostly registered Brown Swiss and Guernsey cows. For more than 50 years, the farm has also grown and sold pumpkins and fall decorations. Each fall, they run a Fall Market with a variety of pumpkins, squash and gourds, sell Christmas trees and decorations after Thanksgiving, and offer farm tours in the fall and spring. Thur., Aug. 31, hosted by Ripp’s Dairy Valley, LLC, 6626 Ripp Dr., Dane, Wis. (Dane County). Brothers Chuck, Gary and Troy Ripp own and operate Ripp’s Dairy Valley farm along with their mom, Eileen. Many family members are involved in day-to-day operations, milking 985 cows and raising crops on 1,800 owned and rented acres. Their focus on comfort and productivity of cows has allowed them to expand from about 260 cows in 1975 to current size. All four meetings are free and open to the public. Walk-ins are welcome or, to help us prepare, please RSVP to Professional Dairy Producers at www.pdpw.org, 800-947-7379 or mail@pdpw.org. Precision management in calf care is needed as there are many ways to add value to these heifers before they join the milking string. Join these on-farm calf workshops on Aug. 31, for a rst-hand look at how fellow dairy farmers are housing pre-weaned calves using technology to help manage their calf program. These include automatic calf feeders, pasteurizers, and milk cooling systems.
