Among Legends

Expo Celebrates Decades of Supreme Champions

BY CASSIE OLSON Staff writer

For breeders, exhibitors and visitors alike, the feeling one gets on the Saturday of World Dairy Expo is unlike any other.

The Grand Champions have been named, the stage has been set and the crowd falls silent as the lights cut and the spotlight falls. It is time to name the Supreme Champion of World Dairy Expo.

The title of Supreme Champion is one that every breeder, owner and exhibitor dreams of. These winning cattle, however, have changed and evolved just as much as Expo itself.

No stranger to Expo or the Showring, Ernie Kueffner has seen this change firsthand since taking home the title with the Jersey, Waymer Patrick Nadine, in 1996.

“In the spring of 1996, I heard about Nadine after she won the Ohio Spring Show. I went to look at her and fell in love with the cow. I purchased her and was fortunate enough for her to be named Supreme that year,” Kueffner said.

A cow not to be forgotten, Nadine is a timeless

legend to the Jersey breed.

However, Kueffner said as breeds have developed, it’s a whole new playing field for dairy breeders.

“There is an extreme difference now; when I look at the picture on my desk of us with Nadine when she won 20 years ago, she was such a beautiful cow that now wouldn’t

be nearly as competitive,” Kueffner said.

Jim Ostrom, co-owner of Milk Source, LLC. and 2015 Supreme Champion, Lovhill Goldwyn Katrysha, agreed that the top cows have continued to develop over time.

“There was a period of time when large cows with great udders were what we

looked for,” Ostrom said.

“In recent years, as I have seen it, is that it’s not necessarily the biggest cow; it’s the most complete, highest quality cow that wins it all.”

Nearly 400 Compete in WDE Youth Showmanship Contest

Roe, Crack, Zeldenrijk win their age divisions

BY KRISTA KUZMA Staff writer

A total of 393 young dairy enthusiasts from around the world donned their show whites and entered the Showring to show the judge how well they could present an animal on a halter during the World Dairy Expo Youth Showmanship Contest. Participants were broken into three categories by age with the Junior division open to ages 9-13, the Intermediate division open to ages 14-17 and the Senior division for ages 18-21. The total number of youth parWORLD DAIRY EXPO ticipating in this year’s contest was up 83 In the Junior Division of the Youth Showmanship Contest, there were 123 participeople from last year. pants vying for the top 10 medallions.

Roe tops Junior Division Natalie Roe from Monticello, Wis., was hoping to live up to her 10th place finish from last year. The 13-year-old surpassed that goal when she placed first out of 123 participants in the Junior Division.

“I was trying to keep my composure on the outside, but on the inside, I was so excited,” Roe said about the moment she was named first in the competition.

Also finishing in the Top 10 in the Junior Division were (listed second through 10th) Jacob Harbaugh, Marion, Wis.; Kolton Crack, Richmond, Quebec, Canada; Haley Ronnebaum, Earlville, Iowa; Delana Erbsen, Lanark, Ill.; Xavier Labba, St. Lambert De Lauzon, Quebec, Canada; Wyatt

Zehr, Graymont, Ill.; Colton Hartman, St. Thomas, Pa.; Aaliyah Borchert, Auburndale, Wis.; and Amelia Stone, New Palestine, Ind. Roe hasn’t always been interested in showmanship; however, in the last few years, she has recognized its importance.

“Starting out, showmanship was just another class to me … but then it made me think, even if I don’t have the best animals, I can still do great showing them,” said Roe, who is the daughter of Dan and Sally Roe. Her number one rule is one she learned from her dad and their family friend, Bryan Voegeli.

“They always tell me to WORLD DAIRY EXPO have a smile on your face The Top 10 in the Intermediate Division of the Youth Showmanship Contest included (first through 10th place from left) Savannah Crack, Cally Finley, Taylor Vander Meulen, Dawson Nickels, Hanna and have fun,” Roe said.

The Voegeli family has Dellaire, Maude Labbe, Kurtis Frischknecht, Mason Mazzaro, Ashley Smith, and Deanna Gould.

played a big part in Roe’s dairy journey, allowing her to show their animals and teaching her about showing.

Although Roe’s dad grew up on a dairy farm, the Roes now live on a grain farm.

“I’m glad the Voegelis let me show. This wouldn’t have happened without them,” Roe said.

During the showmanship competition, Roe said one of the most important aspects for a showperson is to make sure they have their animal always looking its best.

“Be aware of where the animal and the judge are,” Roe said. “And even when you’re not doing your best,

keep going. A smile makes all the difference.”

It seemed to work for Roe during this year’s competition.

Crack places first during first year eligible in Intermediate Division Only being one year into the Intermediate Division didn’t intimidate Savannah Crack from Richmond, Quebec, Canada. The 14-year-old went on to place first out of 169 participants in the Intermediate Division of the Youth Showmanship Contest.

“I was so happy,” Crack said about her first-place finish. “I thought, ‘That went well.’”

Also finishing in the Top 10 in the Intermediate Division were (listed second through 10th) Cally Finley, Woodinville, Ontario, Canada; Taylor Vander Meulen, Brighton, Ontario, Canada; Dawson Nickels, Watertown, Wis.; Hanna Dellaire, Rockwood, Ontario, Canada; Maude Labbe, St. Lambert De Lauzon, Quebec, Canada; Kurtis Frischknecht, Teeswater, Ontario, Canada; Mason Mazzaro, Williamsfield, Ohio; Ashley Smith, Hickson, Ontario, Canada; and Deanna Gould, North Brookfield, Mass.

Crack said while showing cows, a showperson must be prepared for anything.

“You can’t predict how they’re going to act in the ring,” said Crack, whose dad, David Crack, milks 35 cows on their dairy.

When an animal acts up in the Showring, Crack tries to reset and start over.

“We do a circle and try to slowly keep going, and hopefully, not have to spin again,” Crack said.

One thing that has helped her be successful is keeping her composure.

“When you’re showing, you need to stay calm and then your animal isn’t stressed. The judge can see you’re not panicking,” she said.

Crack has been practicing for this competition all summer while showing her 4-H animals.

“It’s fun,” she said about showing cows. “I like getting them ready, doing my best to make my animals look the best in the ring and seeing all the hard work I put in.”

“Walking on the colored shavings was a dream of mine. [Competing in] showmanship was one way to do it,” said Zeldenrijk, who is from Mount Elgin, Ontario, Canada.

He accomplished his dream, but also added a trophy, earning first out of 101 participants in the Senior Division of the Youth Showmanship Contest.

“My dad wasn’t here, so I had to call him right after.”

Zeldenrijk is the son of Nicolaas and Wilma Zeldenrijk, who milk 160 Holsteins on their dairy.

While showing, Zeldenrijk said one of his strengths is to focus on

both his heifer and the judge.

“You have to be aware of things at all times. You have to watch the judge 50 percent of the time, and your heifer for the other 50 percent,” he said. “And you have to make your heifer look the best she can.”

Since Zeldenrijk has been showing since he was about 2 years old, the 20-year-old been able to learn a lot over the past 18 years.

“What [I love] is just showing off a good animal to the judge,” Zeldenrijk said. “But the main thing is showing has to stay fun, and make friends while you do it.

That makes it worth it.”

cow is more than good feet and legs or an outstanding mammary system; it’s the total package.

“You look for cleanliness of bone, rib angle, rump structure, good feet and legs, an outstanding mammary system, and you hope that it all pulls together through exercise and diet,” Kueffner said.

“A cow that is perfectly built.”

Alongside the cows themselves, the Supreme Champion show has grown over time, as well. Norman Nabholz, who has worked with a number of Supreme Champion cows, including Gil-Bar Unique Bonnie (1986), said the show is the culmination of dairy’s most exciting week.

“Supreme has become an integral part of the show,” Nabholz said.

“What once didn’t seem like a large part, has now become the most highly coveted award at the show.”

Ostrom agreed. In 2015, the MilkSource crew was honored to take home the titles of both

NET PROFIT

USJersey

This is a bottom line business, so here’s the bottom line.

Nationwide in 2015, Jerseys averaged 22,323 pounds per cow on an energy-corrected milk basis. That’s 3.6 pounds greater ECM yield per pound of body weight than the average blackand-white.

To produce the same total amount of milkfat and protein, Jerseys use 32% less water, 20% less feed and 11% less land, and have a 20% lower total carbon footprint. Best of all, Jerseys have the highest rates for calving ease, fertility and herd survival.

In herds large and small—no matter how they are fed and housed—Jerseys are big for net profitability. Visit us in the Coliseum, Arena Level 101 to learn more.

Colata Is Twice As Nice

Curtis-Szalach’s Four-Year-Old Wins International Junior Ayrshire Show for Second Time

BY KRISTA KUZMA Staff writer

GRILLED CHEESE.

Going into the Showring for Grand Champion selection of the International Junior Ayrshire Show, Erin Curtis-Szalach admits to being nervous. Her Four-Year-Old cow had a Grand Champion title to defend from the previous year.

“It was nerve-racking because there were so many good cows in the ring,” said 14-year-old Curtis-Szalach from CasanoJudge Molly Sloan via, N.Y. “I was just trying not to worry about it and present her the best I could.”

CurtisSzalach could let go of the nerves when her cow, Cedarcut Burdette Clove Colata, Judge Blair Weeks was selected as Senior Champion and Grand Champion of the International Junior Ayrshire Show.

“Once she (official judge Molly Sloan) chose my cow, I was ecstatic,” Curtis-Szalach said.

Sloan and associate judge, Blair Weeks, placed 106 animals in the Junior show. Chosen as Reserve Grand Champion and Intermediate Champion was the first-place Three-Year-Old, exhibited by Dacey Anechiarico of Whiting, Vt. Junior Champion went to the first-place

“She has an amazing mammary system,” Curtis-Szalach said.

Curtis-Szalach has shown Colata at World Dairy Expo since she was a calf. Showing has been a big part of Curtis-Szalach’s life.

“It’s my passion,” she said. “I don’t play sports so this is my sport.”

Curtis-Szalach was happy to represent her family’s farm on the colored shavings.

“It means a lot [to win Grand Champion] especially since she’s bred and owned, and goes back to the first Ayrshire on our farm,” Curtis-Szalach said about Colata.

Ferme Margot's Aged Cow wins International Ayrshire Show

THE BULLVINE

Margot Patagonie, of Ferme Margot from Ste-Perpétue, Quebec, received Grand Champion of the International Ayrshire Show. Taking Reserve Grand Champion honors was Bear-Ayr Burdette Ray, of Budjon Farms and Peter Vail from Lomira, Wis.

BY KRISTA KUZMA Staff writer

Philippe Grandjean’s first year exhibiting cows at World Dairy Expo turned out to be a successful one.

Grandjean, of Ferme Margot, exhibited the first-placed Aged Cow, Margot Patagonie, who was named Senior Champion Female and Grand Champion Female out of the 321 animals that were exhibited in the International Ayrshire Show.

“It’s very special,” said Grandjean, who is from Ste-Perpétue, Quebec, Canada.

Reserve Grand Champion Female went to the first-place Four-Year-Old, Bear-Ayr Burdette Ray, exhibited by Budjon

Farms and Peter Vail of Lomira, Wis. The first-place Senior Two-Year-Old, Palmyra Berkely P Ruth-ET, exhibited by Evan Creek and Larry and Julie Schirm of Hagerstown, Md., took Intermediate Champion, while Junior Champion went to the first-place Spring Yearling Heifer, GVP Dreamer GabriellaET, exhibited by David and Linda Hanson and Palmyra Farm of Hagerstown, Md. Premier breeder went to Ferme De La Plaine of Ste-Franscoise, Quebec, Canada, while Vieux Village Florent Foley of Piopolis, Quebec, Canada claimed Premier Exhibitor. Premier Sire went to Palmyra TriStar Buredette.

When Grandjean saw his cow chosen as Grand Champion, he could feel the excitement.

“My heart beat faster,” he said about the moment. “All the past decisions we’ve made about her made the difference.”

Grandjean said it’s exciting that Patagonie is homebred, as is her sire.

“I’m very proud,” he said.

Over the years, Grandjean said Patagonie, has continued to improve.

“She’s a very complete cow,” he said.

Her demeanor follows suit.

“She’s very easy to work with. She’s not a nervous cow,” Grandjean said.

At home, Patagonie doesn’t receive special attention. She goes out to pasture and spends time with the rest of the 120-cow Ayrshire herd. Plus, her production gives a boost to Grandjean’s rolling herd average.

“She produces well with high components,” he said.

For the last four years, Patagonie has had a rolling herd average of about 21,000 pounds of milk with 4.5 percent fat and 3.7 percent protein without TMR or BST. She is scored EX-94.

“It still needs to sink in,” Grandjean said. When asked about what he sees for Patagonie’s future, “We will try to breed a bull from this cow.”

Tammy Takes Titles

Expo Daily Edition • Saturday, October 8, 2016 • Page 3

Nickels, Wendorf Win International Junior Red & White Show

BY CASSIE OLSON Staff writer

When Dawson Nickels purchased Milksource Dty Tammy-Red-ET as a calf, he never imagined the ride she was about to take him on. On Friday afternoon, Nickels led the Four-Year-Old cow into the ring where she was ultimately named the Grand Champion Female of the International Junior Red & White Show.

Nickels, 17, of Ixonia, Wis. said it is an honor he could never have imagined.

“This just can’t be real,” Nickels said.

Tammy is Judge Nathan Thomasco-owned by fellow junior exhibitor Grady Wendorf, also from Ixonia, Wis. Following the selection of Grand Champion, he said the honor is above and beyond either of their expectations.

“We just Judge Matt Templetonwanted to win a ribbon; any ribbon,” Wendorf said. “To go out and get not only a ribbon but also the purple banner? Not even in my wildest dreams.”

Milksource Dty Tammy-Red-ET, owned by G & L Wendorf and D & K Nickels of Ixonia, Wis., received Grand Champion of the International Junior Red & White Show. Taking reserve honors was Redtag Destry Sneezy-Red-ET, owned by Chase Savage of Union Bridge, Md. Matt Templeton from Arcadia, Victoria, Australia selected Tammy from the 81 animals exhibited throughout the show.

Additionally, Thomas and Templeton selected first place Senior Three-Year-Old, Redtag Destry Sneezy-Red-ET, owned

by Chase Savage from Union Bridge, Md. as Intermediate Champion and first place Winter Yearling, Lyn-Vale Cherry Wine-Red-ET, owned by Cole, Ava, Campbell & Royce Booth of Plymouth, Wis., as Junior Champion.

According to Nickels, Tammy is no stranger to the spotlight.

“She really has been winning her whole life,” Nickels said. “She was named Supreme Champion at the Wisconsin State Fair last year and the Intermediate Champion and Honorable Mention Grand Champion at World Dairy Expo in 2015.”

Wendorf said Tammy’s success comes as a result of an excellent udder.

“She has a fantastic mammary system,” Wendorf said.

Nickels agreed.

“She has so much dairyness,” he

said. “She has a near perfect udder paired with a well-balanced frame.”

Nickels said he is humbled to have the opportunity to own and exhibit such a high quality animal.

“I am pretty speechless,” Nickels said. “This is something we’ve been working hard for, and it really is a dream come true.”

Stambaugh Tops with Turvy

Four-Year-Old claims International Red & White Show title

THE BULLVINE

Pheasant Echo's Turvy-Red-ET, owned by Kenny Stambaugh of Westminster, Md., was named Grand Champion of the International Red & White Show. Reserve Champion was Heatherstone Redhot-Red, of Milk Source, LLC in Kaukauna, Wis.

BY CASSIE OLSON Staff writer

Every breeder dreams of the perfect mating: an incredible dam, paired with a proven sire that leads to the next legend in the Showring.

If a perfect mating does, indeed, exist, Kenny Stambaugh of Westminster, Md., may have found it.

Stambaugh is the owner and breeder of Pheasant Echo’s Turvy-Red-ET, the first place Five-Year-Old that was named Senior and Grand Champion Female of the International Red & White Show.

Stambaugh could hardly believe it “This is crazy; it’s exciting,” Stambaugh said. “I am so proud of our family for breeding a cow like this.”

Turvy was selected from the 321 participating entries in Friday’s show. Reserve Champion honors went to Heatherstone Redhot-Red, the first place Junior TwoYear-Old and Intermediate Champion owned by Milk Source, LLC of Kaukauna, Wis. Receiving Junior Champion was Booth-Haven Lady In-Red-ET, owned

by Cole, Ava, Campbell and Royce Booth of Plymouth,

Wis. Milk Source, LLC of Kaukauna, Wis. was named both Premier Breeder and Premier Exhibitor, and Apples Absolute Red-ET was selected as Premier Sire.

Stambaugh said Turvy comes from a great genetic line of which he is proud.

“She is a third-generation Excellent Advent daughter scored 94 with a 96-point udder,” Stambaugh said.

Stambaugh works on his family’s farm, Pheasant Echos Farms, in Westminster, Md. with his parents, Barney and Debbie Stambaugh, and siblings, Bud Stambaugh, Crystal Edwards

and Tanya Miller. Together they milk their herd of 120 Registered Holsteins.

Turvy’s success in the Showring during Friday’s show comes after a long list of successes at other shows.

The Five-Year-Old won her class and was Honorable Mention Grand Champion honorable mention at the New York Spring Show and Reserve Grand Champion at the Maryland State Fair. In 2014, she was also Grand Champion Red & White of the Premier Show in Harrisburg, Pa. Stambaugh said all of Turvy’s accolades are due to

her tremendous frame and excellent mammary system.

“She has a beautiful udder,” Stambaugh said. “She has incredible openness of rib and a stylish frame that she really pulls together.”

When he came to Expo this year, Stambaugh had no idea the level of success he could have. After Expo, however, Stambaugh is certain it is one show he will never forget.

“I am so happy for my cow,” Stambaugh said. “I never expected this to happen, but I’m honored that it did.”

Something for Every Producer

Expo Trade Show features 878 Participating Companies

BY CASSIE OLSON Staff writer

Since 1967, companies have had the opportunity to share products with Expo attendees by participating in the World Dairy Expo Trade Show. The Trade Show has seen significant growth from its humble beginnings to its tremendous offerings today, and NASCO has been along nearly every step of the way.

NASCO’s Director of Ag Sales and World Dairy Expo board member, Chuck Miller, has been exhibiting at the Trade Show for many years. He recalled the Trade Show’s early years and said it has grown in more than just its size over the decades.

“It started out more focused as a food show,” Miller said. “It was changed to put more emphasis on the cows.”

With a large offering of businesses, vendors and shopping opportunities, the Trade Show has developed into a premier event for producers looking to apply the latest and most innovative technologies to their home farms.

“I think everything Expo does, it does it all so well,” Miller said. “The [Trade] Show has really grown over time and steadily for the last 50 years.”

The addition of the Exhibition Hall in 1995 and, later, the New Holland Trade Center, further accelerated the Trade Show’s growth. Participating companies with products ranging from farming implements to parlor equipment cover the grounds, offering something for anyone

The Outdoor Trade Mall offers visitors the opportunity to see large equipment at World Dairy Expo. in the dairy industry. “[Attendees] are going to see the newest technology and innovation in products, which entices many of our visitors to attend,” Miller said.

Miller understands that visitors are attracted to Expo for more than just the

Trade Show. With a Dairy Cattle Show of the highest caliber of competition and outstanding facilities to match, Miller said anything that draws visitors and producers to Expo equally draws the participating companies.

“This show is the best of the best.

It attracts a lot of people who are here to see the best cows that have come to Madison. The cows attract the best farmers from across the world, and for every commercial exhibitor that is marketing to the dairy industry, they know they have to be at World Dairy Expo,” Miller said.

Now in its 50th year, World Dairy Expo is bigger and better than ever. With 881 participating companies representing a record 30 countries this year, there really is something for everyone to enjoy on the grounds.

MISSY MUSSMAN

Miller agreed and said the Trade Show is one of the key staples of World Dairy Expo.

“There are many opportunities here at Expo,” Miller said. “That is the magic of the show; it’s a three-legged stool made up of great cows, great commercial exhibits and a great facility.”

Miller said NASCO is proud to be a part of Expo’s Trade Show. He commends all participating businesses, cattle exhibitors, staff and volunteers for making Expo the gathering place for the global dairy industry.

“Expo is such a success because, by virtue, everything they do does them well,” Miller said. “Such a combination of great cattle, with a great show in a great location really is something to be proud of.”

What are some of the challenges of dairy farming in your country?

Diego Mejia Cali, Columbia

Michael Denz Oberstaufen, Germany

Napoleon and Betty Bazo Lima, Peru

Tell us about your farm. We milk 25 Brown Swiss cows in a freestall barn. We have 27 hectares (about 67 acres) of land and we plant 100 percent grass because the elevation is too high. We live in a skiing area of Germany. The hills are like Switzerland.

Along with nine other farmers, we own a cheese plant and make our own cheese. Our farm is the biggest. We focus on getting cows a lot of lactations.

How many times have you been to World Dairy Expo? This is our first time here. We are in a big group of young farmers that came to the show from South Germany.

What brought you to Expo this year? We came to see some great Brown Swiss cows and look at what genetics are out there.

What does a typical dairy farm look like in your country or region? They have a freestall barn and 60 cows. They milk with robots.

How are you paid for your milk and what is the current price? We get paid by the liter and our current price is 22 cents. That’s really bad for us.

When we get this price, I don’t believe our future is to milk. It’s really hard. We are happy when we get 35 cents a liter.

What are some of the challenges of dairy farming in your country? The biggest problem is so many people don’t know how to farm. People think all the cows should have horns and live to 20 years. Another challenge is our elevation makes it hard to grow corn silage. The corn silage is the cheapest way to get milk and grass is the most expensive.

What does a typical dairy farm look like in your country or region? Our dairy farms are at an elevation of 4,000 meters (about 13,100 feet) with a mix of grazing and feeding, which is why we have so many Brown Swiss.

What does a typical dairy farm look like in your country or region? Most Columbian dairy farms pasture their cows and average 200 head.

We have a low cost of handling, but we have a high cost since we have to deliver our own milk to the processer.

What are some of the challenges of dairy farming in your country?

Sarah with Mikaela and Martin Yoder Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada

Richard Walker Tyrone, Ireland

Salvador Grass Santa Ana, El Salvador

Tell us about your farm. We have three family farms milking 700 cows, operate a feed mill, raise boiler chickens, have a hatchery specializing in quail and partridge, and have 2,000 beef cattle on 4,000 acres of land. We are a fourthgeneration operation.

Tell us about your farm. We have 280 milking cows that are currently averaging 9,800 kilos of milk with a fat content of 4.1 percent and protein of 3.3 percent. We milk in a swing-14 parlor, three times a day. Our fresh cows stay in the barn and the late-lactation cows go out to grass. We have a freestall barn. We own 220 acres and farm a total of 600 acres. It’s all grass silage.

Tell us about your farm. We milk 450 cows twice a day in a single-12 tandem parlor. Half of our herd is Jerseys and the other half is Holsteins. The cows are housed in a freestall barn with sand-bedded stalls. The cows are fed a TMR, but they also have access to pasture yearround.

How many times have you been to World Dairy Expo? We’ve been coming to WDE for eight years. I met my husband here, and we got engaged here. We’ve been named Reserve Grand Champion twice and Junior Champion once.

What brought you to Expo this year? We work every day of the year with a passion to show our Brown Swiss here.

What does a typical dairy farm look like in your country or region? Most farms in our area of British Columbia are about 100-head family operations in the mountains. Most summers, people take their herds to the mountains.

How are you paid for your milk and what is the current price? We’re on a quota system that pays $1.30 per liter, which would be like 45 cents per hundredweight.

What are some of the challenges of dairy farming in your country? Finding workers is a challenge for us, which is why we use robots.

Being an hour from Vancouver also means we need to deal with urban issues.

What do you enjoy most about Expo? We’ve met many friends that we only see here. It is always fun to see our friends and see how the breed is improving. uum n’t vac ut a c e W b o use, yo ur h l fee d we w il tle!!! at yo ur c
