What an outstanding Brown Swiss year 2022 is turning out to be.

Participation in shows has been good, and the quality has been outstanding. Cattle sales have been very strong throughout the spring and summer. The demand and the value offered has been a bright spot for breeders. We continue to recognize cows making Honor Roll production records on an almost monthly basis.

Going into the fall, it is important to stay current with your registrations. Make sure you keep registering cattle early to avoid late fees.

The classification program is very important to everyone. The data obtained will impact your breeding decisions and breed progress. Watch for email notifications or posts of upcoming classification tours.

I know I have brought this topic up before; however, it is still an on-going problem -- Animal Identification. We recently had a breeder question why their Registered Brown Swiss cow that was genomic tested at over +1.0 PTAT was not listed on the Top 20 list for PTAT. Her pedigree is correct, her test sheet is a mess. After some investigation, we found she was listed on the DHI test sheet as an X-crossbred, and her Brown Swiss sire

was misidentified with a wrong registration number. Her dam is listed as a Holstein. Now in many cases like this, the first response is, “Our tester is an idiot.” I don’t know the tester and, in some instances, that may be true. I do know in most cases you’re fortunate to have a tester. The bottom line is it is very important to check the information being entered on your test sheets to avoid similar problems.

We also run into the problem of cows being entered with metal tag numbers for identification. These tags are not cross referenced with the official registration numbers. When this happens, it causes problems for recording production records and for reporting classification data as well.

Testing centers notify producers of ID issues with error reports.

Take the time to make corrections. It is in everyone’s, and especially your own, best interest. Thank-you.

Swiss Association Brown SwissBrown Association National Junior Bell Ringer

NATIONAL JUNIOR BELL RINGER Program Rules ~ Program Rules ~ The National Junior Bell Ringer Program provides an opportunity for Juniors across the country to participate in a national activity. It recognizes outstanding Junior-owned or leased animals exhibited at the Junior shows. The application for this contest is a photo and label explained below. Included in the contest are 17 standard female classes: Spring Heifer Calf, Winter Heifer Calf, Fall Heifer Calf, Summer Yearling Heifer, Spring Yearling Heifer, Winter Yearling Heifer, Fall Yearling Heifer, Yearling in Milk, Summer Junior Two-Year Old, Junior Two-Year Old, Senior Two-Year Old, Junior Three-Year Old, Senior Three-Year Old, FourYear-Old, Five-Year-Old, Aged Cow, and Component Merit Cow. ELIGIBILITY The National Bell Ringer contest is open to all National Brown Swiss Junior Members that meet the following requirements.

To be eligible for competition: 1.) In Junior Shows, the junior member who owns or leases the animal is to show her. If the owner cannot attend the show, another Brown Swiss Association junior member may show the animal. Also, in a class where a junior member owns more than one animal, the owner must show one animal; another Brown Swiss Association junior member may show the second animal.

2.) An animal must have stood first or second at a junior show and must have been shown by the junior.

3.) Animals entered in the National Junior Bell Ringer Program must be registered in the Official Herdbook, including CIE animals (white registration certificate with green border) or Second Step of the Identity Enrollment Program (IE green certificate with black border).

The animal must be registered before the show with the Certificate of Registry available for inspection at the show.

4.) For an animal to be exhibited as junior-owned, in all classes, the recorded ownership must show in the sole ownership of the exhibitor or a partnership comprised of Brown Swiss Association Junior Members. (Adult-Junior partnerships and family partnerships are not acceptable). All transfers and recorded ownerships must be dated

by August 1st of the current show year for all classes. If joint ownership, one of the owners must be declared the exhibitor during check-in. Awards will be presented as one unit, to all owners equally.

Animals that are leased through the National Brown Swiss Association Lease Program are also eligible to be shown as juniors. The leased animal’s recorded owner will receive open show awards.

5.) Juniors must be 8 -21 years of age on January 1 of the current year.

October 2022 | Brown Swiss Bulletin

ENTRIES A professional color 5X7 hard copy photo taken of the animal during the calendar year must be provided. Photo (minimum 300 ppi) & entry may be sent electronically to: ljohnson@brownswissusa.com.

Information on the back of the picture should include: The animal’s name, registration number, and birthdate, class entered, and up to three Junior Show placings at Junior Shows only where animal is shown by the junior as described under Eligibility, and name and address of the junior. Labels are available from your state secretary, youth chairman, Association web page, or the national office and should be completed and affixed to the back of the picture. No other information other than what is asked for on the label should be included on the back of the picture. If photo is sent by e-mail, the information listed above must accompany the photo in the e-mail.

RESPONSIBILITIES For State Bell Ringer contests, each state association should establish a deadline for entries. State entries should be sent to an officer or committee chairman of the state association.

The state association is responsible for appointing a special committee to select the State Bell Ringer and Reserve State Bell Ringer in each class as soon as possible after the shows are completed and the pictures are available. A state officer or committee member is responsible for seeing that the State and Reserve Bell Ringer selections, properly identified and with the aforementioned label affixed to the back of the pictures, are sent to the National Office by December 1.

It is not necessary to participate in or win a state contest to participate in the national contest; however, for those that do win at the state level and are interested in competing in the national contest, both State and Reserve pictures can be sent; remember the picture with the label attached is the entry. State Bell Ringer certificates will only be furnished for those animals for which an entry (i.e. picture) was sent to the National Office and which met all qualification requirements. Juniors living in states that do not hold state contests should send their entries directly to the national office.

JUDGING AND AWARDS The State Bell Ringers and the Reserve State Bell Ringers will be recognized in the January issue of the Brown Swiss Bulletin. Each state is responsible for contacting the Bulletin if they want their state winners published.

Owners of the State and Reserve Bell Ringers will be awarded certificates by the corresponding State Brown Swiss Association.

The National Junior Bell Ringer and a Reserve winner will be selected in each class. An Honorable Mention can be awarded in a class at the judges’ discretion. Winners will be chosen by a committee of three judges from the National Approved Judges List. Entries will be judged on pictures and Junior Show placings. The National Bell Ringer selections will receive a plaque and be published in the April issue of the Brown Swiss Bulletin.

Submit by National Deadline: December 1 1 Professional, unretouched Color 5X7 photo.

Brown Swiss Bulletin | October 2022 11

The Brown Swiss Bulletin A series of articles was published in the Brown Swiss Bulletin in the early 2000’s called “Through the Decades”. These articles ended with the 1980’s. The article for the 1990’s decade has been a long time coming, but is now released below.

— 1981 – 1989 —

— 1990-1999 —

On January 20, 1981, Ronald Reagan is inaugurated President of the United States. A new era in space flight begins on April 12, 1981, when the first Space Shuttle “Columbia” soars into orbit from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. On January 24, 1984, the first massmarket personal computer “Macintosh” is introduced from Apple.

On April 26, 1986, a major nuclear accident occurs at Chernobyl, Ukraine, in the Soviet Union. October 19, 1987, on what will come to be called “Black Monday,” the Dow Jones experiences a sudden and largely unexpected drop of 22.6%. On January 20, 1989, George Bush is inaugurated President of the United States. In November 1990, President Bush declares the end of the Cold War as the Soviet Union collapses.

In 1990, the Board of Directors established a Distinguished Service Award. This award would honor an individual whose work has made a great contribution to the Brown Swiss breed. The award is not to be an annual award, but to be presented when deemed merited.

The first award was presented at the National Convention in Hutchinson, Kansas, on July 19, 1990, to Dr. Horst Leipold, Kansas State University. Dr. Leipold researched the “Weaver” problem in Brown Swiss and determined the mode of inheritance and its actual degenerative effect on the spinal cord. In addition, he did research on genetic defects for several breeds, including “Spiderleg” in Brown Swiss.

The Bulletin reported that Idyl Wild Improver Jinx 664521 was selected to be the “Cow of the 80’s”. Bred by Paul Weber, Idyl Wild Farm, OR, she was owned and exhibited by Doug Massingill, OR, and Pete Vanderham, CA. She then sold in the 1982 Springtime Show Window Sale for a record $60,000 to Forest Lawn Farm, WI. She was three-times All American, four times National Show Grand Champion, and produced four records over 20,000 lbs. milk and 1,000 lbs. fat. Routine processing of DHIR records began in 1982, with complete processing of pedigrees and registrations beginning in 1985, all adding to the information available in breeder ads in the Bulletin.

Protein Value Recognized - The importance of the protein component value in milk, and particularly in Brown Swiss milk, had become evident. The Association stressed this fact with the inclusion of a National Protein Award, the addition of protein recognition in “How They’re Doin’,” and the beginning and incorporation of “Protein Plus” records, initially at the 900-pound level, into the Bulletin in the mid-1980s.

The November 1988 Bulletin featured Lyndale Convincer Elaine, owned by Roland &/or Twyla Hellbusch, Humphrey, Nebraska, Grand and Supreme Champion at World Dairy Expo. She was also unanimous All American 4 Year Old. Elaine duplicated this feat of Grand and Supreme Champion in 1989.

Beginning in 1990 and through the 90’s, production and show records were being broken on a regular basis. The Total Performance Award is based on an animal’s show placing at a national show, her high 305-day 4% FCM record, and her lifetime production per day. High Spruce Stretchy Eve became the National Total Performance Winner for the 4th time in 1990, also winning that award in 1986, 1987, and 1988. Her breeder was Donald Cole, Sr., Columbia Cross Roads, PA. She was purchased by Alan and Bruce Rinehart and Warren Schroer, Wapakoneta, OH, at the 1983 Pennsylvania National Sale.

In 1988, she was transferred to R-Hart Farm where she was housed the entire time.

The first Historical Presentation to the Brown Swiss Association occurred in late 1990, when the Eldredge family of New York, whose ancestors were early importers of Brown Swiss in 1884, donated seven Swiss bells, a blanket, and other memorabilia related to the imports from the Burgi family in Switzerland. Those bells and blanket have hung over the main entrance doorway of the Brown Swiss office ever since. A display cabinet, also in the entryway, contains Burgi and Eldredge business cards and other memorabilia.

New Breed Production Champions were recognized in 1991. LPS Telstar Sally May Twin became the new Fat Champion in February that year, as she produced in 365 days, 33,520 lbs. milk, 6.2% test, 2,067 lbs. fat, 3.8 % protein, and 1,259 lbs. protein. The previous

Celebrates Its 100th Anniversary champion since 1987 was Fullerton Delegate Que at 2,007 pounds.

Sally was owned by Laurie Schroeder of Fergus Falls, MN. Later in 1991, two more Breed Champions were recognized. (1).

Shelburne Del SF 514 broke a Lifetime Milk Production record which had been held by Ivetta since 1969. Completing her 13th lactation at 15-0 years of age, “514” had produced 309,962 lbs. milk, 12,278 lbs. fat and 8,696 lbs. protein in 4,564 days. Ivetta’s lifetime record was 308,569 lbs. milk and 13,067 lbs. fat. Del SF 514 spent her entire life at Shelburne Farms in Shelburne, VT. She placed second for lifetime fat behind Ivetta. Gordon Searles was the farm manager at Shelburne at that time. (2). Snowdale Improver Desi completed a 365-day record on May 16, 1991, of 41,730 lbs. milk, 3.9 % test, 1,609 lbs. fat, 3.7 % test, and 1,541 lbs. protein. “Desi” broke Century Acres Liz C‘s milk record of 37,846 lbs., held since 1980, and Lone Oak Ima Doll’s protein record of 1,428 lbs., held since 1986. Earlier that year, Tom Ferg, owner of Ima Doll, had established the Lone Oak Ima Doll Award for the top protein record of 365 days or less. Desi was purchased by William Kelly III, Winchester, NH, at the 1986 New York National Sale.

The Identity Enrollment program was established in 1970. It includes three basic steps, only for females, beginning with an inspected grade Brown Swiss (ID), which when bred to a registered Brown Swiss sire produces a second-step animal (IE). Then that animal when bred to a registered Brown Swiss sire produces a third step animal (CIE). After which, subsequent generations would be fully registered. While over 20,000 ID animals and over 20,000 IE animals had been registered over the 20-year period, a huge boost was realized in 1992, when Larsen Dairy of Okeechobee, FL, entered 461 cows and heifers into the program. Area Representative Myron Fledderjohann spent 4 days checking them all in. In 1993, the program was expanded to include an initial step prior to the first-step (ID) animals called a Recorded Female (RF), a first-cross Brown Swiss with another dairy breed.

Her daughters sired by a registered Brown Swiss are called IDR’s, equivalent to first step ID’s.

Brown Swiss again reigned Supreme in 1994. Hoosier Knoll Jade Monay became the second Brown Swiss to reign as Supreme Champion over all breeds at World Dairy Expo. Monay was bred and owned by Steven Hendress, Wolcott, IN. Monay also was named the Total Performance, Aged Cow Genetic Award, and Production Award winner at WDE. A new Protein and Fat leader emerged in 1995 as R-Hart CD Connie, owned by Alan Rinehart of R-Hart Farm, Wapakoneta, OH, broke both records with her 4-0 record in 365 days of 2,072 lbs. fat and 1,649 lbs.

protein. She broke the fat record by 5 pounds and the protein record by over 100 pounds. Connie was also recognized as the #1 CPI (Cow Performance Index) cow in the July 1995 Genetic Evaluations.

Again in 1996, a new milk and fat leader rose to the top as Rolling Meadows Dots Lady, owned by Mark Witmer, Rolling Meadows farm, Salem, OH, became the new “queen” of the breed. In 365 days, Lady produced 45,890 lbs. milk and 2,416 lbs. fat. The Witmers are a three-generation Brown Swiss family, with Mark’s grandfather, Paul, buying his first Swiss in 1938.

As previously mentioned, the National Total Performance Award recognizes cows that excel in both production and show performance.

The Brown Swiss breed was the first to award this type of honor and 1996 marked the 23rd year for this award. Top Acres EJ Whizzbang became the 9th National Total Performance winner for Wayne and Connie Sliker, Top Acres, St. Paris, OH. Whizzbang has also been recognized as an All-American four times at various ages. To continue this string of wins for Top Acres, in 1997 the winner was Bell-Manor Dotson Glitter, owned in partnership with Kenny Joe Manion, Scottsville, KY, and Wayne E. Sliker, St. Paris, OH. And one year later, Top Acres Dotson Polka ET, owned by Top Acres, St. Paris, OH, captured this honor, making it the 11th win for Top Acres in its 25year history.

The March 1997 Bulletin cover celebrated the 75th year of the Brown Swiss Bulletin with 8 different covers over the years. Inside you would find a history of the Bulletin from its beginning in July 1922, which was 22 pages in length, including a list of the 17 different editors over the years and many of their pictures.

To round out the production record-setting animals for the 90’s, was Rolling Meadows Dotson Lacy, of Rolling Meadows Farm of Columbiana, OH. In 1998, Lacy became the new record holder for milk and protein with a 365-day record of 46,690 lbs. milk, 5.0% 2,348 lbs. fat, 3.7% 1,716 lbs. protein. Lacy is a maternal sister to Rolling Meadows Dots Lady, the past milk and then current fat record holder.

On July 1, 1998, Brown Swiss breeders and enthusiasts from around the world gathered in Springfield, OH, to witness the record-breaking Top Acres Sale with an average of $6,110. Ninety-five head of topquality Brown Swiss cattle were made available by Top Acres Farm, owned and operated by Wayne and Connie Sliker of St. Paris, OH. Buyers from 21 states, as well as Canada, were represented. Topping the sale was Top Acres PR Pom Pom ET at $40,500, purchased by H.E. Heindel and Sons of Brogue, PA.

Memories Made After a busy show season, it is time to reflect on the numerous highlights! It was great to see so many Brown Swiss Youth at the National Shows this Fall. I am excited for the future of our breed after meeting and catching up with members. We are very fortunate to have such seasoned role models at these shows, and it is encouraging to see so many youth learning from the best of the best in the Brown Swiss breed.

With all of these shows, many of us have made memories that will last a lifetime. Whether you were the one on the lead or the one trailing with the manure pan, we all had a memorable season. It was so encouraging to see how tight-knit our Brown Swiss Community truly is while we complemented one another, as competitors and friends. We all won with grace and lost with dignity.

Whether you won a purple ribbon or not, we will remember the time spent preparing our animals, chatting with other breeders, or walking in the ring. We have made connections that will continue to build and grow our community. We will remember our favorite show animals from this season, and idolize the champions of our breed.

As we talk about our favorite show animals, it is only fitting to discuss where they were shown. Our youth participated in multiple national shows and social events to connect our members further. They walked away with amazing prizes that our advisor, Kaylen Miller, organized. From Springfield,

Massachusetts, at the Northeastern National Show, to the Northwest National show in Puyallup, Washington, and the other shows in between, our youth showcased their hard work by bringing top-notch cattle into the ring.

After participating in these shows, make sure you participate in the National Junior Bell Ringer Program by December 1st.

While entering, check out the other junior contests, such as Youth Production, National Ambassador, Youth Achievement, and more! These contests will be awarded at the 2023 National Convention in Fresno, California, and applications are due March 31st. For more information, check the junior contests page under the youth tab on brownswissusa.com.

As the show season comes to a close, it is important that we look back and recognize all that was accomplished. By reflecting on what we did great and what we can improve, our memories will be saved, and we will do even better in the upcoming shows later this fall or even for the 2023 show season. I look forward to seeing some of you in Stillwater, Oklahoma, and Louisville, Kentucky, and congratulate you on all of your accomplishments!

Swiss herd and operated Red Brae Farms. In 1993, Edgar and Phyllis moved to Muscoda with their sons. Edgar was proud of his children’s interest in agriculture and dairy farming, and happy his sons continued to farm.

( William Moran Kelly Jr.

September 21, 1945 - September 10, 2022 William Moran Kelly Jr., 76, a lifelong resident and farmer of Winchester, New Hampshire, passed away peacefully at his home on Saturday, Sept. 10, 2022, after a period of failing health. He was born Sept. 21, 1945, the son of William Kelly Sr. and May (Burgemaster) Kelly.

Bill’s younger years were joyfully spent on the family farm with an abundance of cows, horses, and dogs. He, along with his sister, Nancy, and younger brother, Tom, entered the 4-H program, with dairy cattle being their focus. This project resulted in Bill being selected as the New Hampshire 4-H state winner in 1961.

Bill attended schools in Winchester, then Keene High School and graduated in 1963 from Monadnock Regional High School. He spoke often of being a member of the first graduating class at the new school. The football team which he became a part of was undefeated that year — a feat he loved to share. During these high-school days, he became a member of the Future Farmers of America (FFA), serving in many capacities and leadership roles.

These experiences paved the way for Bill being selected as a National FFA Vice President from 1965 to 1966 representing the Northeast region. He had the opportunity of traveling throughout the United States and chatting with the boosters of the FFA program, meeting the nation’s President and other prominent leaders, and giving countless speeches.

After high school, Bill attended the University of New Hampshire’s Thompson School of Science and Technology Program from which he graduated in 1965. Bill was also a member of the Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity.

Thereafter, Bill returned to Winchester in 1966, where he and his brother, Tom, purchased the Thompson Farmstead, also known as the Phil Pierce Farm. They devoted their time and energy into clearing land to create more usable acreage and in developing their Holstein and Brown Swiss dairy catwww. brownswissusa.com

tle herds. For his accomplishments, Bill was recognized in 1972 as the New Hampshire Farm Bureau Outstanding Young Farmer.

A highlight of Bill’s career was when he was asked to judge a dairy show in Riobamba, Ecuador. During his stay, Bill traveled to farming areas in the Andes Mountains, where crops were being raised. He enjoyed meeting the native people and learning their culture.

Bill was an avid fisherman and hunter and sold the development rights in 1993 to the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department to preserve 234 acres of forest, farmland and riverfront. This is a great habitat for ducks, geese, turkeys, pheasant, blue heron, and deer. This will be always open to hunters.

Bill had a fierce, driving, competitive spirit as evidenced when exhibiting dairy cattle at the World Dairy Expo in Wisconsin, competing at oxen and horsepulling events locally, or watching his granddaughters compete in swimming events. He always stated that, “If you are not prepared to win, then don’t go!”

NEW

Bill was community and civic-minded and served on many committees. He believed that it was important to participate and have a voice, and that government existed to serve all the people. Bill served as a Selectman in Winchester from 2001 to 2004. He also served for many years on the (NRCS) Natural Resource Conservation Service Committee, to ensure and safeguard land use in Sullivan and Cheshire Counties. He was also a trustee of the Eastern States Exposition for many years.

Bill is survived by his wife of 53 years, Brenda (Chickering) Kelly; a son, William 3rd; a daughter, Kathryn (Kelly) Scoville, and granddaughters Abby and Molly Scoville; his brother, Thomas Kelly; his sisters, Nancy Harm, of Northville, Mich., Pearl Thompson of Winchester and Ruth Balla of Acworth; and several nieces, nephews and cousins. He was pre-deceased by a sister, Bernice Doody, in addition to his parents.

In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the New Hampshire 4-H Foundation, Tom Fairchild 4-H Dairy Endowment (www.extension.unh.edu/).
