Financial Responsibility
It is the policy of the Brown Swiss Association to have a complete audit of the finances done every five years. The accounting firm of Reilly, Penner & Benton LLP, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, has performed the audit of the financial statements of Brown Swiss Cattle Breeders’ Association of the U.S.A. (“Organization”) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022. The board of directors has reviewed the findings and approved the results of the audit.
proven bulls in the sire summary comes from? It comes from those that register, test, and… classify. For the good of the whole!
Classification Notifications
In an attempt to streamline communications and reduce costs, the Association has been sending classification sign-ups and classification schedules via email. It is important for breeders to check your emails and take note to look at your spam or junk mail folders for notices sent from our classification coordinator Robin Smithling, rsmithling@brownswissusa.com. If you think you are not receiving notifications, please contact the Brown Swiss office. Remember, we want and need you to classify. For the good of the whole! Several years ago, in my other lifetime and pre-genomics, I was visiting a well-established multi-generational breeder herd. The herd was on official test and fully Registered. I mentioned to the breeder that I noticed he hadn’t classified on the last several tours. He said he didn’t see the benefit in having scores on his cows. A little later I asked him how he decided which bulls to purchase semen from. He said, “I use this,” as he picked up a Brown Swiss Sire Summary. Well, where do you think the information on daughter

IT HAS BEEN A MEMORABLE & REWARDING JOURNEY By David Jons
Wednesday, October 4, 2023, provided an opportunity for Brown Swiss Breeders and dairy cattle enthusiasts of any breed to witness what is believed to be the first time a dam and daughter pair have been named Grand Champion and Reserve Grand Champion of the International Brown Swiss Show, or any breed show, at World Dairy Expo. Iroquois Acres Jong Cali EX-96-CAN, by Jolahofs Polo Jongleur ET *TM, winner of the Component Merit Cow class at 8 years old with 134,462lbs. Lifetime milk to date, was named Senior and Grand Champion, and Cali’s daughter Iroquois Acres Total Candy EX-93CAN, by Sunnyisle Total ET *TM, winner of the Aged Cow class at 6 years, was named Senior Reserve and Reserve Grand Champion. Both cows are owned by Brian Pacheco of Kerman, California. “I felt relief, Cali finally won it all,” said Brian, “Cali had been second in class the last two years.” Both cows were bred by Iroquois Acres, the Ouellette family of Bridport, Vermont, and have a pedigree with a story to go with it. The Ouellette’s purchased R Hart Pacer Carla (Cali’s 5th dam) at the Midwest Review Sale in April 1996. She was sired by Top Acres Pacer(D). Her dam in turn, R Hart JD Cathy was an “E90 - Certified” Johann Johnny D(W) with 28,450m 1,169f 1,035p. Cathy’s dam is the high-impact “Superior Brood Cow”, Gentle Breeze Mat Christine 20 October/November 2023 | Brown Swiss Bulletin
*TW “3E90 - Elite” - All American 4-Year-Old 1987 with 33,190m 1,398f 1,105p. Cali’s own dam, Iroquois Acres Terror Carly , is E90 with 25,760m 1,023f sired by a home-grown Prelude Zeus son from a 3E91 Banker daughter direct from Timberline Jetway Toni(M*) 3E94 “Certified” 3X All American. Cali and Candy have had stellar careers in the showring. Cali was Reserve All-American Aged Cow and second place Aged Cow at the International Brown Swiss Show in 2022 and 2021, All-American 4-Year-Old and first place 4-Year-Old at the International Brown Swiss Show in 2019, All-American Junior 3-Year-Old and first place Junior 3-Year-Old with being named Reserve Intermediate Champion at the International Brown Swiss Show 2018. In 2022, Candy was HM All-American 5-Year-Old, third place 5-Year-Old at the International Brown Swiss Show, and first place 5-Year-Old with being named Senior and Grand Champion at the New York State Brown Swiss Show. Both Cali and Candy are housed at Lookout Farm in North Hatley, Quebec, Canada, which is owned and operated by the McKinven family: Callum with his wife Katherine and daughters Tara, Brooke, and Alana. Lookout Farm has earned Master Breeder honors for the last three years, ranking in the top 10 herds in their category. “Callum has been buying cattle for me probably a decade now,” states Brian. Cali and Candy came directly from Iroquois Acres to Lookout and both have continued to develop from the first day they arrived. “From Cali’s first to her second lactation, there was www. brownswissusa.com

an amazing change. She continued to develop and continues to have a very youthful look about her,” said Callum, “Candy has done the same.” Pacheco Dairy, Inc., is the largest Brown Swiss breeder in California and, in addition to Brown Swiss, milks over 1500 Holsteins, producing an RHA of 30,824 pounds of Energy Corrected Milk. Pacheco Dairy ranks number 15 BAA herd in the Holstein USA large herd category and for over two decades has been a top production herd in the central San Joaquin Valley in California. Callum tells the unique story of how he found Cali. “My wife and I were in Vermont in the summer of 2017 and visiting Iroquois Acres looking for cows, and when we were leaving, Stephanie (Ouellette) told us to turn right out of the driveway instead of the way we arrived. So, we went a little way and saw this bred heifer standing by the fence line while we were driving down the road, we stopped and crossed a ditch to see her closer. I loved the heifer and called Steph and asked for information and a price on the heifer. Ended up buying her that night after Steph sent pictures of her udder promise. About a week later, I was talking to Brian and sold him Cali. Cali calved with a heifer calf before health charts were finished, that calf happened to be Candy.”
Cali’s daughter Iroquois Acres Total Candy, winner of the Aged Cow class, was named Senior Reserve and Reserve Grand Champion of the 2023 International Brown Swiss Show at World Dairy Expo. Candy is owned by Brian Pacheco of Kerman, California.
Brian notes, “As I stated during the Parade of Champions at World Dairy Expo, the three families have formed an incredible team. The Ouellette’s have done a tremendous job breeding and getting the calves off to a good start. Callum and his family provide the day-today care to get the cows in the best condition possible. As for me, I take care of the other aspects that our team needs to succeed. We communicate often and have developed a close relationship. We all
recognize that individually we would not be as successful as we are together. It has been a memorable and rewarding journey.” FLASH: Cali was put-up for committee at E97 and daughter Candy for E95 by appraiser Chantil Charrette of Holstein Canada. The committee revisited the cows at Lookout on 10/31 and both cows were approved. Congrats to all parties involved in this incredible accomplishment.

MAGNUSSEN RECEIVES A.C. "WHITIE" THOMSON MEMORIAL AWARD Norman C. Magnussen, at the age of 22, took over the Brown Swiss Sale Service after his father’s untimely passing and hosted his first of five Wisconsin National Sales that averaged $3024.43, with the high seller being Norvic Telstar at $17,000. For the next 41 years, Brown Swiss Sale Service LLC managed sales in 17 states including 16 National Sales. The World Premier Brown Swiss Sale held during World Dairy Expo always features top-of-the-line cattle desired by breeders worldwide. While the name may say “Brown Swiss”, all breeds of dairy cattle have been sold though this sale management.
Not only did the Brown Swiss breeders, owners, and exhibitors put on an absolutely amazing International Brown Swiss Show, but one of our own was honored during the Supreme Champion Ceremony. Congratulations to Norman C. Magnussen on being awarded the A. C. “Whitie” Thomson Memorial Award for 2023! This award, exclusive to World Dairy Expo, is presented by the Thomson family to the herdsman/showman who exhibits exemplary leadership and sportsmanship throughout the current World Dairy Expo. Norman C. Magnussen, Executive Secretary of the Brown Swiss Cattle Breeders Association and a Lake Mills native, has had a connection to the annual World Premier dairy event for more than its 50-year history. His father, Norman E. Magnussen, was one of the handful of Wisconsin dairymen who prompted creation of what is now World Dairy Expo and was instrumental in finding funding for its first years. The World Food and Agricultural Exposition, as it was called in the spring of 1967, the senior Magnussen put together a fundraiser cattle sale. 22 October/November 2023 | Brown Swiss Bulletin
From showing at a young age to judging shows across the world, Norman C. Magnussen has a rich history in the Brown Swiss Breed. Norm was one of the first Bell Ringers in the Wisconsin Bell Ringer Contest in 1970. He has led multiple Grand Champions, Reserve Grand Champions, and Junior Champions here at Expo including Arbor Rose Stretchy Spicey, Betta Vue Mat Nadine, 2x Lyndale Convincer Elaine, and Bridge View Jades Katrina. He has judged shows on all levels including multiple national and four international shows. Former winners are: James Armbruster, 1985; Marvin A. Daufeldt, 1986; R.

Mother — Daughter DUO
A true team effort was involved in accomplishing something that had never been done before when Iroquois Acres Jong Cali EX-97-CAN was named Grand Champion and Cali’s daughter Iroquois Acres Total Candy EX-95-CAN was named Reserve Grand Champion at the 2023 International Brown Swiss Show at World Dairy Expo. Thank you to Iroquois Acres, the Ouellette family for breeding two cows that exemplify what a Brown Swiss cow can achieve. Thank you Callum McKinven and family at Lookout Farm for providing the care and expertise to develop Cali and Candy into the cows they are today. More has been accomplished together than we could have individually.

Introduction
Visiting the Past . . .
The 2023 World Dairy Expo (WDE), Madison, WI, is now in the books. WDE has hosted the Central National Brown Swiss Show each year since 1971 as well as in 1968. The first “Expo” was held in 1967 and billed as a World Food Expo. In 1969, it tranistioned to “World Dairy Expo”. Four widely respected purebred breeders deserve much of the credit for conceiving World Dairy Expo and choosing Madison as the location. They were Holstein breeders Allen Hetts and Gene Nelson and Brown Swiss breeders Howard Voegeli and Norman E. Magnussen. At the conclusion of the show, the champion cows from each breed are paraded in the Coliseum to select a Supreme Champion over all breeds. Brown Swiss has garnered six Supreme Champions with four different cows. They are listed here.
WDE Supreme Swiss
Lyndale Convincer Elaine – 1988, 1989 Elaine became the first Brown Swiss to secure the title of Supreme Champion in 1988 as a four-year-old. She was bred and owned by Lyndale Swiss, Roland and Twyla Hellbusch, Humphrey, Nebraska, and shown by son Loren. Elaine came right back the following year in 1989 as a five-year-old to win her second consecutive Supreme Champion title.
Old Mill E Snickerdoodle OCS – 2003 In 2003, Snickerdoodle became the third Brown Swiss to attain the Supreme Champion title at WDE. Snickerdoodle was bred and owned by Allen Bassler, Jr., of Upperville, Virginia. Snickerdoodle also was chosen Reserve Supreme Champion in 2008 and 2009. She also was selected breed Grand Champion at WDE six times over an eight-year period. Deanna Bendig was at the halter of Snickerdoodle.
Cutting Edge T Delilah – 2018, 2019 Hoosier Knoll Jade Monay – 1994 Monay became the second Brown Swiss to garner the Supreme Champion award in 1994. That made three Brown Swiss Supreme Champions in a seven-year window. Monay was bred by William Albert Hendress and owned by Steve Hendress of Wolcott, Indiana. Showing as an Aged cow, Monay also earned the prestigious Total Performance Award.
In 2018, Delilah, bred and owned by Kyle Barton, Copake, New York, made history as she was named Supreme Champion of the Open show as well as Supreme Champion of the Junior show. She was only the second cow to garner Supreme honors of both the Open and Junior shows. In 2019, now owned by Ken Main and Kenny Joe Manion, Copake, New York, and shown again by Kyle, Delilah became the second Brown Swiss cow to be named Supreme Champion in consecutive years.
In 2015, World Dairy Expo published the book We Need a Show, a 50-year history of World Dairy Expo. Books are available through Hoard’s Dairyman for $8.00 plus shipping. www. brownswissusa.com
