BSCBA Mission Statement To promote and expand the Brown Swiss breed with programs that assist the membership and industry to compete favorably in the market place now and in the future.
“The extra value of Registered cattle can only be realized when they are, in fact, Registered.” We will help you with that process.
Information on BH14 haplotype. BH14 is an abbreviation for Braunvieh haplotype 14. In the homozygous state, it leads to an early embryonic miscarriage. Carrier status for BH14 was released by Brown Swiss Association Switzerland to animal owners in August 2022. Here in the US, USDA AGIL is doing further testing to confirm the findings in Switzerland. The reported haplotype BH14 has been detected from Council on Dairy Cattle Breeding (CDCB) genotypes as having > 10 homozygous haplotypes expected but none observed. Those haplotype frequencies are above 2% in USA and above 3% in Switzerland. While the frequency for the BH14 haplotype is very low, every attempt is being made to confirm the reported findings. Further testing will lead to a more complete list with better end results. The US Brown Swiss Association is working in cooperation with CDCB and AGIL to find answers for these issues. There is work being done to develop standalone testing for the BH14 haplotype.

Celebrates Its 100th Anniversary EJ Paris, owned by Henry Farms and Wayne E. Sliker, Ohio. To date her record was 384,150 lbs. milk, 16,397 lbs. fat and 12,711 lbs. protein. Paris went on to win this award for 5 years in a row through 2016. She finished with 459,901 lbs. milk, 19,751 lbs. fat and 15,508 lbs. protein. These totals make Paris the All-Time leader for Lifetime Milk, Fat, and Protein, as reported in the June 2017 Bulletin. The Bulletin also reported the following highlights. At the January 2016 Board meeting, they approved that a cow could receive a Final Score of 95 upon the evaluation of two classifiers. The first cow scored 95 was Eloc Wagor Kandid, “2E95/95MS”. She was owned by Elite Dairy, Ken Main and Peter Vail, Copake, New York. The Board of Directors announce that effective May 14, 2018, Norman Magnussen, Lake Mills, Wisconsin, will become the new Brown Swiss Association Executive Secretary. Effective with the July 2018 issue, the Bulletin will be published by Dairy Agenda Today, Basehor, Kansas. Beginning with the September 2018 Bulletin issue, the Brown Swiss Historical Society begins publishing a “Visiting the Past” page in each issue of the Bulletin. The goal is to give a glimpse of the Brown Swiss history in the US since the original importations in 1869. In 2018, the Bulletin started reporting on Cutting Edge T Delilah. Delilah began making history by being named Grand Champion at the Eastern National Show (PA All-American) in 2018. She proceeded to be named Supreme Champion at that show over all breeds. She followed that by showing at World Dairy Expo (Central National), and again was named Brown Swiss Grand and again Supreme Champion. She is owned by Kyle Barton, Copake, New York. Kyle is Ken Main’s grandson. Delilah was also named Supreme Champion of the Junior show.
The Elite Dairy Dispersal was held on September 4, 2019, a month prior to World Dairy Expo. Cutting Edge T Delilah, 2018’s Supreme Champion at WDE sold for a breed record of $210,000. The new owners are Dr. Kenny Joe Manion, Scottsville, Kentucky, and his new partner, Ken Main of Copake, New York. The second high seller and second all-time high-selling animal at $175,000 was Cutting Edge Thunder Faye, also purchased by Manion and Main. A total of 155 head were sold, with the official average of $8,948 also breaking the previous herd sale average. One month later, at World Dairy Expo, Delilah again becomes the Grand Champion Brown Swiss cow. Later that week with Kyle Barton at the halter, Delilah again is named Supreme Champion of WDE, becoming only the second Brown Swiss to claim back-to-back WDE Supreme Championships. 2020 had a bright outlook for the Bulletin, then the COVID pandemic appeared. The May and June issues were combined, reducing the total issues to 10. The World Brown Swiss Conference scheduled to take place in the U.S. during the World Dairy Expo was postponed until 2021. World Dairy Expo was cancelled in 2020, for the first time in over 50 years. 2021 saw the Bulletin back to 11 issues, but the COVID pandemic was still lingering and the World Brown Swiss Conference was again postponed until 2022. In 2022, the COVID pandemic had subsided and the Bulletin was focused on its own 100th Anniversary with a series of articles throughout the year highlighting the Bulletin’s journey to its 100th Anniversary. The September Bulletin included 30 ads and was distributed at the very successful World Brown Swiss Conference and World Dairy Expo. The November Bulletin presented extensive coverage of the 2022 World Brown Swiss Conference.

Visiting the Past . . . The December Brown Swiss Bulletin
This December Bulletin (2022) VTP page takes a look back 100 years to the first December Bulletin published in 1922. What was on the cover; was there a Christmas message; what was the main article; who were the Association officers; and who had the back cover? See all those answers below, plus comments made on the first few issues of the brand new magazine called “The Brown Swiss Bulletin”.
The December 1922 Bulletin Cover
The picture on the cover page of this issue gives breeders an opportunity of viewing the Grand Champion Brown Swiss cow of the Northwest. But it shows more than just the animal. It contains an excellent likeness of the Champion Brown Swiss booster of the Northwest – yes, larger territory might be included – the most enthusiastic breeder in America. W. O. Bohart of Bozeman, Montana, has probably done more for the “cow from the little European Republic” in western America than any other dozen men. He has talked, tested, and shown at fairs. He has encouraged club work, he has distributed breeding stock, he has organized local associations, and last but not least, he has contributed much of the force of his dynamic personality to the cause of “The Big Brown Cow”.
Association Officers
The following were the Association Officers for 1922: President: A. E. Bower, Cleveland, Ohio; Vice-President: L. E. Hull, Painesville, Ohio; Secretary-Treasurer: Ira Inman, Beloit, Wisconsin.
Editorial: HOLIDAY GREETINGS To every breeder of Brown Swiss in America, The Brown Swiss Bulletin extends best wishes for A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR. With the spirit of Christmas comes the exchanging of gifts between friends. The Brown Swiss Bulletin can only give to its friends the promise of an accurate and comprehensive account of the activities of the breed and breeders during the next year. It asks in return that precious gift of unfailing support from every breeder of Swiss in America. Thanking every breeder for their loyal support during the first six months of its existence, and wishing breeders that “are” and “are to be” success in 1923.
Comments on The Bulletin
“I wish at this time to congratulate on the last copy of The Brown Swiss Bulletin. I thought it the best yet.” Professor C.S. Rhode, University of Illinois. “The Brown Swiss Bulletin is most assuredly a pleasing little magazine and should do a lot of good for the breed.” Frank Freemyer, Middleburgh, N.Y. Your Brown Swiss Bulletin is a splendid publication. I was especially interested in your editorial on page 60, “Market for Brown Swiss”. H.M. Jones, Dairy Specialist, University of South Dakota. W.O. Bohart and Bob’s Mascot
Inside Cover Message
The inside cover contained a poem entitled “Peace and Promise” by A. S. Alexander at the top, emphasizing “PEACE UPON EARTH” and “GOOD WILL TO MAN”. Beneath the poem was a winter photo of trees and snow.
The Lead Article
“Brown Swiss at the Pacific Exposition” was the lead article. Fiftyone head made a good showing for the breed at Portland. Four breeders contested for the prize money. Twenty head belonged to W. O. Bohart, 16 animals were exhibited by Theo. Brugger & Son, and 14 head were shown by John Boeckli of Linnton, Oregon. A yearling bull, shown by C. M. Lounsbury of Boring, 14
