Building A Bright Future

Wapsi-Ana Rasta Janet 1st Place Junior and 3rd Place Open show – International Brown Swiss show at World Dairy Expo 2021 Our nephew Josh Fairbanks works for us and registers his cattle under the Fairholm prefix. Abby, our daughter is at UW Platteville and plans on joining our team in a few years. Their help is greatly appreciated. Dairy farming is like a fraternity – no one can understand it unless you’re in it. Some say it’s a “sickness” with no cure to be found. A lot of long days, tight margins, disappointments and challenges. Why do we keep doing it? Cows, the thrill of the challenge, great place to raise a family. It’s hard to explain to a non-dairyman, but that’s why we’re in the fraternity and they aren’t. I respect and appreciate all of you and enjoy the friendships I’ve developed over the years. A lot has changed in our industry over the years. I would like to encourage some of you to advertise in our Brown Swiss Bulletin. We need to support our breed magazine if we want to keep getting it. Facebook is a great tool but they won’t classify, register or do a pedigree. The Brown Swiss Association needs our support. Congratulations on your special animal, high herd average or upcoming sale; and if you find a cure for our “sickness,” please let my wife know, she would like to help me.

Connection the office

By Norman Magnussen

The proof is in the milk… Many years ago, while picking cattle for a consignment sale, I was given some interesting advice. I had been on the road for some time and was basically done with selections. One of the last stops was to a lifetime breeder who was admired by many in his part of the country. He asked how the selections were going, and I proceeded to tell him about the top records on cows selling and top records on the dams of the consignments. He stopped me and told me, “For this sale, it’s ‘milk if you may, show you must’.” My first thought was, “Boy, I’ve been doing this ‘bassackwards’.” Well, in case you hadn’t noticed, we do have cows that will do both as they should. The show season turned out to be a wonderful opportunity to rekindle fellowship among people that have similar likes, namely cows! Breeders presented their cattle at fairs across the country and in doing so provided other dairymen the opportunity to be impressed with the quality that the Brown Swiss cow offers. Cows that produce and look good doing it are part of the quality being featured. Production awards given at National Shows are based on Energy Corrected Milk to standardize the awards. As

one listens to the production winners being announced, you have to be impressed with the numbers quoted. A good example of show cows that produce would be the six Component Merit Cows shown at the International Show in Madison this fall. Their best 305-day records averaged 27,247m 1,218f and 968p. That comes to 32,088 lbs. in 305 days when converted to ECM! While some were out touring the Tanbark Trail, others were minding business at home on the dairy. As of October 1st, there have been 37 Class Leader and Honor Roll Production records made for Milk, Fat, or Protein in 2021. There are only four cows on the 365d 2x or 365d 3x Milk Honor Roll lists that have not made at least 30,000 lbs. of milk, and all four are in the Over-12-Year-Old division. Every cow on both of these lists has made over 1,100 lbs. fat. Brown Swiss milk has value at a volume that pays! - Norman

A summer of forever memories We can’t thank Skyler enough for all she has done for the Junior Brown Swiss Association!

“My last event as the National Brown Swiss Youth Advisor couldn’t have been better spent than at my favorite show. Thank you to the parents, youth, previous and present board members/office staff and the breeders for allowing me to spend a few years serving the Brown Swiss Breed. My journey with the Big Brown cow would not have been possible without my brother & Jeremy McDonald giving me & taking care of Shen-Val BC Cameron. Jeremy was such a great role model that made a huge impact on my life that I am thankful for my time of paying it forward to the junior members. Thank you to the Voelker family for allowing me to continue to be involved in the Charlie Voelker Memorial Showmanship classes here in Louisville. I hope that I have made you all proud and have been able to impact one youths’ life like how you both have impacted mine. Thank you all for some of the best memories!”

New Brown Swiss Youth Advisor We are so excited to announce our new Brown Swiss Youth Advisor, Kaylen Miller! “Hello Everyone! My name is Kaylen Miller and I’m honored to be the new Youth Advisor. I live on my family farm, Mil-K Valley, located in Orangeville, IL. We milk 45 registered Brown Swiss and Holsteins. I currently work at Boviteq USA as a client service representative. I am no stranger to the youth association as I recently served as the 2019-2020 National Brown Swiss Youth Alternate Ambassador and participated in numerous junior activities throughout my junior years. I would like to thank Skyler for the amazing job she has done these past years; she truly had an impact on my life. I am thrilled to be able to give back to an association that gave me unforgettable memories and lifelong friends. I am excited to use my passion for the big brown cow to help juniors make the most of their Brown Swiss experience. I’m looking forward to a great year with lots of junior activities and participation!

“WE MAKE OUR LIVING FROM MILKING COWS”

- Hans Tudhope

Orwell, Vermont is home to Cher-MI Farm, owned by Miles and Cheryl Tudhope, Hans and Kristen Tudhope with daughters Amelia and Olivia. The farm was started by Miles after he graduated college and Hans and his family are now the second generation to work the farm. “We are a regular hard working farm family,” said Hans. The herd consists of half Registered Brown Swiss which number 55 to 60 cows and half Registered Holsteins. Heifer numbers mirror cow numbers. The Brown Swiss cows have a RHA of 21,516 milk, 949 fat, and 741 protein with classification producing 15 Excellent, 30 Very Good, 10 Good Plus and 1 Fair. “Our farm strives for cows with high lifetime production,” mentions Hans. Two homebred cows that exemplify this goal are maternal sisters Cher-MI Driver Teflon 3E-91 and Cher-MI Vigor Tisha 3E92. Teflon has lifetime production of 227,200 milk, 9,800 fat, 7,730 protein and is fresh with her 9th calf. Tisha has lifetime production of 208,472 milk, 9,054 fat, 7,430 protein and is fresh with her 10th calf.

In a move to increase the exposure of the Cher-MI Brown Swiss cattle, a few head were shown at the 2021 Vermont State Brown Swiss Show. “It was the first time we have shown in the last 22 years,” states Hans. A move that saw Cher-MI Cliff Valerie earn first place Jr. Two www. brownswissusa.com

Year Old honors and also Reserve Grand Champion, Cher-MI Richard Tasse earn first place Sr. Two Year Old honors, and Cher-MI become Premier Breeder. Showing is not the only part of the Cher-MI marketing program. “We have been genomic testing our Brown Swiss females for nine years,” said Hans, “Staying viable as a small family dairy and generating revenue from our genetics is a goal.” Genomic testing has certainly paid off for Cher-MI as the August 2021 list of Top PPR Heifers at +129 or higher, list no less than 9 heifers from this small family dairy.

Wapsi-Ana Rasta Janet

IF YOU PLANT A SEED……… As a young boy, Doug Fairbanks participated in the Iowa Brown Swiss Association Share-A-Heifer program. A program in which a recipient is chosen and a young Brown Swiss Heifer, provided by an Iowa Brown Swiss breeder, is placed in their care.

November 2021 | Brown Swiss Bulletin

The animals are to be carried as a 4-H project and shown at the local county fair. The heifer will also need to be bred to calve just after the State Brown Swiss Sale in which she will be sold. The 4-Her and the breeder split the sale proceeds. “That was my start with Brown Swiss,” said Doug “Dad milked all grade Holsteins. I have owned Brown Swiss longer than any breed.” That first Brown Swiss heifer planted a seed that grew. Today Wapsi-Ana Swiss, Jerseys and Holsteins owned by Doug and Jody Fairbanks of Anamosa, Iowa, milk a herd of nearly

www. brownswissusa.com

400 registered cows consisting of 40 to 50 Brown Swiss, 100 Jerseys, and 230 Holsteins. Doug and Jody’s children Pierce, Abby, Kaylee and Luke with nephew Josh and wife Samantha plus three full-time and one part-time employee make up the work force. Josh continues to take on more responsibility in various areas for the dairy. “We strive for high production from healthy cows,” mentions Doug. The Brown Swiss cows have a RHA 26,550, 1161Fat, 841Protein. “Brown Swiss have helped our entire herd achieve a tank average of 85 lbs. of milk, 4.37% fat and 3.3% protein,” states Doug, “It cost the same to haul one hundred pounds of milk if it is low fat and protein or high fat and protein. One way to increase the value of our milk is higher fat and protein.” “Wapsi-Ana Swiss markets four to five live animals per year,” mentions Doug, “I believe it is important to support the Iowa Brown Swiss sale.” Wapsi-Ana Swiss purchases a number of embryos each year and a few live animals. One of those live purchases was Kruses GK Biver Jeanette as a young cow. Jeanette is now EX92 EX92MS with 4-08 3X 26,516 4.7 1256 3.3 885 and the dam of Wapsi-Ana Rasta Janet. Janet was third place in the open show and first place in the junior show in the Winter Heifer Calf class at the 2021 International Brown Swiss Show at World Dairy Expo, a class consisting of 45 head. Janet is owned by daughter Abby, who is attending the University of Wisconsin at Platteville and intends to return to the farm after college. “Janet is the only daughter we have of Jeanette at this time,” said Doug,

www. brownswissusa.com

“We do have pregnancies from Jeanette coming.” Other cows of interest on the farm include Wapsi-Ana Torch Miller EX91 EX92MS and Wapsi-Ana Thunder Julie EX92 EX93MS. Sire selection concentrates on DPR, SCS, and other health traits, with attention paid to well proven and deep cow families. “I pay attention to genomics, but I don’t think you can use just a computer to bred cows. If you could, Helen Keller could breed a good herd of cows,” said Doug. A situation that many dairies face, including Wapsi-Ana Swiss, Jerseys and Holsteins, is the encroachment of homes close to the dairy facilities. “There are about 20 homes across the road from the dairy,” mentions Doug, “Many valued up to half a million dollars.” Understanding that being proactive is beneficial, the farm provides opportunities for those neighbors to tour the dairy and view milking and feeding of cows and calves. Along with hayrack rides and meeting new home owners with some complimentary milk and cheese. “We purchased the lot closest to the dairy in the event we ever have a heavy rain that runs off into that lot. That also makes us part of the homeowners association and we can get directly involved, getting in front of any potential issues,” said Doug. “None of the success of the farm would be possible without my wife,” said Doug, “Jody has taught in the local public school system for over 20 years and worked on the farm. The primary calf feeder and bookkeeper, she’s very special”.

Visiting the Past . . . The Famous Fun Auction Fly Swatter

Neitzel, let’s throw this in the sale too. And the rest is history. It did lie dormant for 10 years but reappeared in 1995 in Texas and has been a fan favorite ever since. And that’s the rest of the story.

To conclude the series on the Fun Auction, which has run continuously since 1982 to help fund the Junior Programs, we look back at the one and only Leather Fly Swatter. In the third year of the fun auction in 1984 held in Tennessee, Rhoda Daubert went to her car to retrieve her dollies for the auction.

~ OBITUARY ~ l

Steven A Hendress 1953 - 2021 Steven A. Hendress, 68, of Wolcott, Indiana, passed away peacefully at home on October 14, 2021, surrounded by his family. He was born May 5th, 1953, in Lafayette, IN, to the late William Albert & Lois Hendress of Wolcott. Steve was a 1971 graduate of Wolcott High School, and earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Purdue University in 1975. He met the love of his life, Lydia (Rogers), at the White County Fair and later married her on September 6th, 1975. Steve’s devotion to his family shined throughout his life. He loved the annual family trip to Sanibel Island and could always be seen on the beach collecting and sharing his seashell findings. His support to his wife and children was unsurpassed, always willing to do whatever he could to help. He led by example, with his farming work ethic and love for family. The memories of time spent with his grandchildren from rocking babies to driving tractors will be cherished forever.

His love of the dairy cattle industry and the Brown Swiss breed came from the family farm, Hoosier Knoll Farms. He spent the majority of his career spreading his love of the dairy industry to all. Steve bred and exhibited his Brown Swiss cow, Hoosier Knoll Jade Monay, who won the coveted Supreme Champion title at the 1994 World Dairy Expo. In 2016, Steve was awarded an honorary American FFA degree. In 2017, he was the recipient of the Brown Swiss Lifetime Achievement Award and was inducted into the Livestock Breeders Hall of Fame. He also received a lifetime pass to the Indiana State Fair for his work over the years. In 2020, he was given the Purdue College of Agriculture Outstanding Service to Students Award. Steve shared his knowledge and passion of the dairy industry for over 20 years at the Purdue University Dairy Research and Education Center and was the collegiate coach and mentor to the Purdue Dairy Judging Team. His love and support for his students will be his legacy at Purdue University. Steve was also an international Dairy Judge, highlighted with opportunities in Argentina, Ecuador, Colombia, South Korea, and the World Dairy Expo in Wisconsin. In addition, he served on the Brown Swiss Association type committee for many years and was a great advisor to the classifiers. He is survived by his loving wife of 46 years, Lydia Hendress; his three children, Seth (Erica) Hendress, Shea (Cortney) Hendress, and Laci (Todd) Steinhauer. He was a proud Papa to six grandchildren, Oliver, Knox, Lake, Quinn, Sawyer, and Finn Hendress. Also surviving are his brothers, Jerry (Mara), Jim (Marcy), and Jeff (Deanna) Hendress; and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, William Albert and Lois Hendress. A celebration of life ceremony will be held on November 13th from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Tippecanoe County Fairgrounds (East Wing - 1406 Teal Rd, Lafayette, IN 47905). Memorial service to commence at 12:30. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Steve Hendress Service Scholarship (Steve Hendress Scholarship in Animal Science Endowment).
