2024 Maryland Holstein Annual 4
President’s Report
Jeff Sutton
Congratulations to Maryland Holstein breeders on their many achievements in 2023. Maryland exhibitors were successful in the show ring, achieved outstanding BAAs, and cattle that were recognized for milk records as well. Maryland genetics are highly sought after and have placed many bulls in studs, and also are sought after for consignments in some of the top sales in the country. Maryland has not only top notch cattle, but outstanding people as well. Our junior members continue to excel in their activities, congratulations to them and best of luck to our youth in 2024.
The 2023 installment of the Maryland State Sale was a huge success thanks to Chris and Jen Hill, Derek Lease and his sale committee. We look forward to another successful sale in 2024.
We eagerly anticipate returning our tradition of hosting banquets. Thank you to Lisa Schwartzbeck and her committee for organizing this event. We look forward to coming together for some Holstein fellowship.
In closing, thank you to all of the past presidents and board members and a huge thank you to all of the board members that have served with me. Your dedication and commitment are key to making our association great. A special thank you to our secretary, Laurie Savage for her time and efforts. Also I would like to thank our long time show committee chair Parker Welch as he will be stepping down this year. Please join me in welcoming our new president, Brett Haines. Brett has been a lifelong friend, he possesses both the confidence and leadership qualities to keep our association headed in the right direction. Our association is full of outstanding individuals of all ages, and it has been a privilege to serve you. Thank you all very much and best wishes in 2024!

Diego REMEMBERING
Pheasant Echos Reality Diego-RED 942E
Once there was this little girl and her pretty red fall calf, they started an exciting new chapter at Pheasant Echo’s. One that lead them on their first trip to Madison, first medal around the little girls neck, and so many new friendships.❤ Diego will always be remembered for the exciting “firsts” we experienced with her, but she will surely never be forgotten as her legacy has grown to many daughters, granddaughters and more still on the way.
2024 DIstinguished Service Award
Billy and Betty Ann Heath
This year we are honoring the husband and wife duo of Billy and Betty Ann Heath as our Distinguished Service Member(s). Billy and Betty Ann have decided to retire after dedicating over 40 years of taking quality dairy cattle pictures. The service they have provided to MD Holstein breeders makes them the perfect recipient of this award.
Billy's start in the dairy industry was an early one, having made both FFA and 4-H judging teams, traveling to the national contest and winning, then continuing on to Europe where his team also won. His keen eye for placing and judging cattle, undoubtedly made him a well known fitter and later on a photographer that wasn't satisfied until the cow was placed exactly right for the perfect photo. In his very early years he worked under Buddy Hill at Logwood Farms. After meeting and marrying Betty Ann Stiles he moved on to being an AI technician with Curtiss Breeding Service, all the while working nights at Black and Decker. With what free time he had he continued fitting and moved on to photography, shadowing Mr. Jack Remsburg.
The art of photography is what brought Billy to the camera. He recalls his earliest photo being made with a polaroid, and the late Gary Derr in front of the lens holding one of his MD bred beauties. Jack lent him his first "real" camera and the rest is history. Derr’s, Penn Gate, Windsor Manor and Spring Valley were amongst the firsts giving this new photographer a place to start.
Cattle photography has seen many changes over the years and Billy, along with the help of Betty Ann, were able to adapt. In the early years, film had to be sent north to be developed in color. It was a huge time saver when digital came about and Betty could tackle that on her own in the early 2000's. Betty read books and taught herself how to do the digital development. Both noted that while there was a learning curve, the ease of set up for the photos was a huge bonus. No cows pictured with the Billy Heath stamp were ever altered in any way to change the confirmation of the cow. And Billy always understood and recognized the importance of milk prices when setting his rates.
Aside from his successful photography career, Billy and Betty Ann are the proud parents of Susie Heath Poole and the late Michael Heath. They are equally as proud of their son in-law Richard, grandchildren Ryan and McKenzie, and great grandchildren Alexander and Rowan Poole. Billy has said that he believes his greatest contribution to the dairy industry was his son Michael. That may be a valid point but we believe the many years dedicated to the MD Judging program, countless photos taken at MD State Fair and his reliable, friendly on farm service are also things to be extremely proud of. Thank you Billy and Betty, enjoy your much deserved retirement!
