Connection the office

By Norman Magnussen

For Your Information Data Sharing – It’s not automatic; remember to confirm with your DHI testing association that you want your herd information shared with CDCB and your breed association. The same goes for milkprotein test results. We will be adding Kappa Casein and Beta Casein milk proteins to pedigrees in the near future. When you, as breeders, have genomic testing done, be sure to request that the testing laboratory run milk protein testing. The official test results will need to be shared with the National Brown Swiss office in order to be included on official pedigrees. New for Classification – Once you have signed up to classify, we are sending out the classification schedules in a new way! When you get your classification email, it will contain a link rerouting you to a new page where you can then download the schedule. Below that will also be a few questions to ensure that you were able to download the schedule and note any changes that need to be made, such as phone numbers or the number of cows to be classified. This new method will allow for a smoother schedule for the classifiers and give us a better knowledge of who is not receiving the schedules so we can fix it immediately!

Candidates must not exceed 40 years of age as of 1/1/23. www.brownswissusa.com/ Programs/NationalAwards/tabid/258/Default.aspx Junior Members – Applications for Junior awards are due March 31, 2023. Fillable forms are available at www.brownswissusa.com/ Youth/JuniorContests/tabid/141/Default.aspx Embryo Flushes – The Board has been having discussions based on breeder concerns about registering embryo flushes. Breeders don’t like the expenses and flush vets don’t like the paperwork. Some suggest doing away with the flush registrations and making mandatory genomic testing of all ETs, ETVs, or clones to be registered. Parentage verification would continue to be required on all donor dams. Flush paperwork would still need to be kept for all successful flushes producing viable eggs. We in the office do not like all the errors that we need to correct even with the current requirements in place. As always, the integrity of the breed and the accuracy of its records are our and should be your primary concerns. Further discussion to follow. Norman C. Magnussen, Executive Secretary Brown Swiss Cattle Breeders’ Association of the USA

Hayleigh Geurink and Joey Opsal display the banners won by Shelburne Deegan Dell as she was named the Grand Champion of the Wisconsin State Brown Swiss Show July 9, 2022 in Shawano, Wisconsin.

AN ALL-AMERICAN FAIRY TALE COME TRUE Opsal enjoys success found with breeding Brown Swiss By Danielle Nauman

BLUE MOUNDS, Wis. - A little boy, who grew up on a Holstein farm, once visited Sunshine Genetics in Whitewater, Wisconsin, with his father, and there he began to develop an affinity for the Brown Swiss breed. “I would go along with my dad when he would take flush cows to Sunshine, and I admired the Brown Swiss herd I would see there,” said Joey Opsal. “Chris Keim eventually convinced my dad to put an embryo in on shares. I was too little to show that resulting calf, but my brother did.” Opsal credits friends and mentors Rayme and Kristin Mackinson for fanning the flames of his interest in the Brown Swiss breed. “We housed a couple of their animals, and they allowed me to show one that I eventually purchased, RK-Arthurst Tanbark Feisty,” Opsal said, noting that Feisty has had her own impressive show career. It was at the prompting of the Mackinsons that Opsal applied for the Nelson McCammon Youth Heifer Program. The Youth Heifer program, offered by the Wisconsin Brown Swiss Association, helps subsidize youth in the purchase of a registered Brown Swiss. With that grant, Opsal purchased a heifer named Dublin-Hills Persephone in the Kentucky National Sale in 2017 and embarked on his career as a Brown Swiss breeder in earnest. 20 March 2023 | Brown Swiss Bulletin

Today Opsal, along with his fiancee Hayleigh Geurink, has developed a modest herd of nine Brown Swiss cows living among the herd of Holsteins on the farm he operates with his father near Blue Mounds, Wisconsin.

Joey Opsal parades Opsal-J Pop A Bottle during the Winter Calf Class at World Dairy Expo Oct. 4, 2022 in Madison, Wisconsin. Pop A Bottle is a second generation, homebred All-American nomination for Opsal. (Cont. on page 22) www. brownswissusa.com

When she moved to Wisconsin, Geurink brought her own group of BlackRidge Genetics Brown Swiss co-owned with Kelvin Webster as well. “My dad sometimes grumbles that the Swiss are taking over,” Opsal said with a laugh. “But then you’ll catch him paying a little extra attention to them.” While their collective brown herd may be modest in size, the accolades they have collected are anything but. As the dust settled on the 2022 show season, the small herd laid claim to its first unanimous All-American with Opsal-J Fuel My Fire in the Fall Calf Class; two individual Honorable Mention All-American awards with Black-Ridge R Look My Way in the Spring Calf Class and Opsal-J Pop A Bottle, owned with Peter Vail, in the Winter Calf Class. Pop A Bottle is a second-generation, bred-and-owned nomination for Opsal. In addition, Opsal garnered Reserve All-American honors in the Junior Best 3 Females class. In total, the herd has tallied up seven All-American nominations since Opsal’s purchase of Persephone. Persephone’s offspring come by their show-ring performance naturally. Persephone herself went on to be named a Reserve Wisconsin Bell-Ringer for Opsal that year as a summer yearling, after a top-ten finish at World Dairy Expo. All three of Persephone’s natural calves have garnered AllAmerican nominations for Opsal, with two receiving the nod for Reserve All-American honors; and she is due back with another Phantom heifer calf. “My first few years as a Brown Swiss breeder have been exciting and rewarding. When the first heifer to carry your prefix is a national show class winner and is nominated All-American, that certainly fuels a passion,” Opsal said. Besides the show-ring success, Opsal said that he appreciates the hardiness of the breed. “They never have problems; they just take care of themselves. They are easy keepers,” Opsal said. “I really enjoy that attitude at the shows...they just get ready themselves, they know when it is game time.” With a small herd, Opsal said sometimes he struggles with mating decisions.

Joey Opsal exhibits Opsal-J Pop A Bottle in the Winter Calf Class at World Dairy Expo Oct. 4, 2022 in Madison, Wisconsin. “So much of the herd is so closely related, it limits the options of what bulls I can use,” Opsal said, noting he relies on advice from Geurink and from other breeders as well. “It has really become a team effort, two heads are better than one.” Opsal said his own breeding philosophy trends towards breeding for show-ring type. “I probably try to make my Swiss a little more Holstein-like, going for extreme style and dairyness,” Opsal said. “But I also try to keep the massive strength and breed character. I focus on openness, great feet and legs and udders. I want them to work hard, last, and look pretty doing it all.” Besides loving the big brown cow, Opsal said he has been grateful for all of the friends and mentors he has found in other aficionados of the breed. “The people I have met through the breed are great people, so open and willing to share and teach,” Opsal said. “I am really glad to have found the breed and I look forward to watching our herd continue to grow.”

March and April shows

Spring is just around the corner, and that means the start of the 2023 show season is fast approaching with many Brown Swiss breeders preparing for March and April shows! These shows mark a new year of great cows and even better people coming together over their common passions. There is a lot to be accomplished this season and I am excited to see what comes next for our tight-knit community.

Awards

For the previous year’s accomplishments, our Association recognizes both our youth and senior members, as well as their cattle. This year’s National Convention will be held June 14-16th in Fresno, California, where members and cows will be highlighted. All applications for these special recognitions are due March 31st, so get them in as soon as possible! A complete list of awards and their applications are available on our Facebook page and on our website at brownswissusa.com.

2023 National Convention

We are excited to get this upcoming show season kicked off and look forward to seeing many of you at the spring shows. There are also a variety of sales and show clinics coming up so be on the lookout for more information on those.

record. Langwathby won again in 2016 and 2017 to become the first cow to win in 3 consecutive years. She is now owned by Dalton, Dillon & Breanne Freeman. Special thanks to Purebred Publishing for sponsoring the CFAS award from 1996-2017. Since 2018, the Association has sponsored theis award. Beginning this past year, the previous Nasco ECM award at each National Show is now titled “Type and Production Award” and also sponsored by the Association. The top ECM record over all national shows becomes the CFAS winner.

Visiting the Past . . . Cow For All Seasons Award History

The Brown Swiss Association (BSA) Cow for All Seasons (CFAS) Award was established in 1996. For many years, at each National Show, Nasco International sponsored a type and production (Nasco) award to the exhibitor of the cow with the highest 305d, 2x milk record. To qualify, the cow must stand in the top 5 of her class of 20 or less, or in the top 20% if more than 20. Beginning in 1996, the BSA established the CFAS award which was presented to the exhibitor of the overall winner of Nasco awardees from all national shows. The award was sponsored by Purebred Publishing, Inc., current Bulletin Publisher at the time.

1996 – First Winner – Blessing Sensation Bria 795050 The first winner of the Cow for All Seasons Award was Blessing Sensation Bria 795050, owned by Milan F. Blessing and Family of Fort Wayne, Indiana. Bria produced 30,320 pounds of milk, 1124 pounds fat, and 1106 pounds of protein at 4-09 in 305 days. (Note: The lists of past winners in the January Bulletins in 2006 and 2009 did not include Bria). Blessings or Blessings and Mort won this award 3 of the first 5 years.

2006 – Award Based on Energy Corrected Milk For the first 10 years, the award was based on the actual 305 day, 2x milk record. Beginning in 2006, the award was based on Energy Corrected Milk (ECM). The record now could also be a 2x or 3x record.The formula for ECM is as follows: .327 x pounds milk + 12.95 x pounds fat + 7.2 x pounds protein. Thus, cows testing above 3.5% fat and/or 3.2% protein received additional points. Jeremy or Gary and Jeremy McDonald of Stephens City, Virginia, had won twice in 2002 and 2005 under the previous system based on milk only. With the use of the ECM formula, Jeremy, now of Middletown, Virginia, won the first two years in 2006 and 2007 with Shen-Val Jetway Cinderella. Thus, Jeremy became the first to become a 4-time winner and Cinderella was the first cow to win in consecutive years. Jeremy won again in 2011 with HF Pronto Katriel to be a 5-time winner.

2016 – Formula Changed to True Protein The recording of milk protein officially changed from total protein to true protein. This changed the multiplier in the ECM formula from 7.2 to 7.65 for protein pounds. One year prior to this change saw Jonlee Secret Langwathby, owned by Dalton Freeman of Bremen, Indiana, set a new ECM 28 March 2023 | Brown Swiss Bulletin

2022–Cutting Edge Stratus Sue Has Record ECM Stratus Sue easily wins the 2022 CFAS award with a recordsetting total of 71,028 pounds of ECM. Sue is owned by Ronald R. Kelm of Markesan, Wisconsin.

BROWN SWISS FERTILITY HAPLOTYPE BH14 By Paul VanRaden, Dan Null, and Norm Magnussen

Switzerland last year began reporting a new lethal haplotype in Brown Swiss (BH14) causing early pregnancy loss. Brown Swiss USA received a list of 1,254 carrier bulls from Switzerland and the Animal Genomics and Improvement Lab (AGIL) compared those to haplotype calls for BH14 from CDCB data for the same bulls. In both analyses the haplotype traced primarily to BSUSA175545 VENTURES ESP BABARAY (W) born in 1978, and no homozygotes were detected in CHE or USA analyses. Of the carrier bulls from the CHE file, 94% were also carriers from CDCB data, and 6% of the carriers from CHE data were non-carriers here. Of those 73 non-matching bulls, only 5 were USA bulls and those had no daughters. Likely almost all 43,000 non-carrier bulls matched, and if so, the concordance is very high for BH14. For some bulls, the CHE analysis may have included a gene test for the MRPL55 mutation on chromosome 7 at ARS-UCD1 location 2,996,436. Carrier frequency was 6.1% reported by Häfliger et al. (2021). In CDCB data, the number of genotyped carriers was 1,113 of 16,207 USA animals (6.9%) and across all countries was 2,960 animals of 59,127 genotyped (5.0%) as of April 2022. CDCB conception rate data included less than 100 matings of carrier sires to carrier maternal grandsires (the dam’s sire for

the potential embryo being created). A conception loss of about 0.04 or 4% is expected if an extra 1 / 8 of embryos do not survive. The significant effect on fertility reported in CHE was not significant in USA because so few observed matings gave a standard error > 5%. Haplotype or gene tests from CHE may be reported initially, but routine publication of BH14 status in USA will allow selection and mating of males and females to further improve BS fertility. CDCB should begin reporting haplotype BH14 in the April Genetic Evaluations. The Board has directed that we will go forward with labeling of BH14 carriers.
