Thank you to David Hallberg of Pennock for his many years of leadership to DHIA organizations locally, in Minnesota, and nationally. Dave and Stephanie sold their cows in December and we wish them well.

Dave served as Vice President of Minnesota DHIA and was a Director from the West Central District for 18 years. He quickly gained a reputation nationally and served as Chair of the North Central Caucus, a Committee Member for Quality Certification Services, and most recently as a member of the Council on Dairy Cattle Breeding which oversees data quality and handling for the Genetic and Genomic Evaluation Systems, and sets research priorities.

Dave was one of 3 who were selected by DHIAs in the United States, and one of 12 who represent the dairy industry, including AI organizations (NAAB), Purebred Dairy Cattle Associations, and Dairy Records Processing Centers.

Dave always saw the big picture and need for information and services useful to dairy producers, and he always lead us in that direction. Thanks Dave, Stephanie, and Caroline.

Minnesota DHIA Founding Director Roger Marti of Sleepy Eye passed away on February 20, 2020. Roger had 3 loves – his faith, family, and farming. It is fitting that his final resting place is a few yards from the farm, on the land Roger’s family donated to their church long ago.

Roger served on the State Board for the first 20 formative years of the organization and attended many National DHIA Annual Meetings. He officially retired from dairy farming in 2002, but remained intensely interested in all things related to farming. We were still emailing him copies of the DHIA reports in February.

Roger attended most DHIA District meetings. The picture is from our 50th anniversary celebration in 2018. Roger and Marsha brought in their old record books for us all to see.

Roger received the Distinguished Service Award from Minnesota DHIA in 1991. He was elected to the Minnesota Livestock Breeders Hall of Fame in 2000, and was honored with the National Holstein Elite Breeder Award in 2017.

We thank Roger for his leadership and common sense. They say the world is run by those who show up. Roger showed up and he spoke up.

President’s Report Cooperation in our industry has become easier to accomplish with the decline in the number of dairy farms and the challenges that result. We have talked about the need to reduce the dairy farmer funded redundancies throughout our industry.

Over the past several years much has been done to consolidate field service units. Field Techs who can utilize their expertise and equipment to service more herds are the heart of these efficiencies. There are still opportunities to make progress in this area. Bringing the different field rates together and accounting for extra time and travel are part of the solution.

It has been a long time coming, but we were able to consolidate lab operations early in 2020. The combined volume of milk samples under one roof cuts overhead expenses and holds down fees. The consolidation of the Sauk Centre and Zumbrota Labs also affords us the opportunity to expand milk analyses offerings that some of you may find beneficial. We sincerely thank the South Goodhue Association and now the Stearns County DHIA for their leadership and foresight in enabling excellent and cost-efficient lab services that will be continued in our Centre Labs location.

You will likely see nothing different as a result of the merging of lab services. Prices, timing, equipment, and experience were pretty much the same in both labs. Both have done very well in Quality Certification Audits for the past 30 years.

In addition to milk, Centre Labs offers feed and forage testing, mastitis culturing and sensitivities, and manure testing. December was an all-time high for manure samples analyzed. We have a cooperative agreement with one of the top feed and forage lab systems in the U.S. Cumberland Valley Labs enables us to offer new and innovative information from the NIR samples we analyze at Centre Labs.

We cooperated with the U of Minnesota’s Joleen Hadrich in a study where her team compared DHIA data to FinnPack financial records. The goal of the study was to determine what makes a dairy operation resilient – what characteristics impact farm financial health. Key characteristics of the top 25% of the 87 farms in the study were identified. Research covered the years 2012 to 2018. Among those keys was SCC, increasing cow longevity, and managing for high components. It seems to me it would be more difficult to manage for low SCC and high components if you didn’t have the individual cow data from DHIA. I am privileged to serve on the Board of Directors for National DHIA. We have spent considerable time and effort improving the system that allows you to control who has access to your DHIA data. Long time industry partners need data to conduct their programs that enable genetic progress. You have the right to continue to control if anyone other than you has access to your data. We are also looking at the future data and research needs and opportunities.

Special thanks this year to our Board of Directors, pictured elsewhere in this publication. Progress is not made without leaders willing to step up and help make difficult decisions.

We also must recognize the good efforts of the people of the Zumbrota Lab over the years. Under the management of Muri Niebuhr, that lab has been a blessing to our customers. Thank you to all of the fine people on our staff and to General Manager Bruce Dokkebakken for their good work.

Manager’s Report I have worked for you for 45 years. That puts me about 5th on the list for longevity in Minnesota. DHIA folks enjoy working for smart people who also have an abundance of common sense. Our work has meaning because you know what to do with the information. We also seem to have some fun on most days, and that is very important.

We have been able to make a few changes over the years, mostly because of ideas that come from you or our field techs (testers). An important part of our job is to figure out how to help you prepare for new challenges or opportunities that come your way. What can we measure and how can we present data to help you make smart decisions?

We have had butterfat and protein tests for years. The University of Minnesota says that we can use the butterfat protein ratio (over 1.4) as an indicator of ketosis on those early lactation cows. Those fresh cows with a fat test of 5.8% may not be good news. Mike Hutjens also figured out that if there are more than 15% of the cows in your herd that have a higher protein test than their butterfat test, you should probably visit with your nutritionist. Good uses for data we already have is a part of what we want to continue. Another example is that as you consider which cows to dry treat. Many experts suggest you look at the DHIA SCC as part of that decision.

Technology marches ever onward. It is our job to make sure that technology is not just cool – but useable. Just over 83% of the dairy farmers in India have smart phones. In Wisconsin that number is 82%. I suspect we are in that same neighborhood. Having cow information available in that computer you carry in your pocket (the smart phone) has been evolving and is now exploding. The convenience of looking at the status, production, reproduction, SCC and events (including health) on a cow while you are leaning on the gate or sitting in the skidsteer is obvious. It is no longer necessary to write things down and enter them later, or go back to the office and look up that cow on your paper reports. Many of you are what the Aussies call “time poor”. You have a lot to do and not much time to do it. To have useful and accurate information in your pocket instead of your packet might save you time and make you money. And, it is kind of fun.

Our new APP is called Bovey and it is inexpensive and easy to use. It works with either Apple or Android devices (table or phone). We also license and support Pocket Dairy (partners with PC Dart), Pocket Cow Cards and Platform (both synch with Dairy Comp Unlimited and are included in the price.) Very soon we will start offering Alerts which will provide production, SCC, Reproduction, and inventory updates sent to your smart phone within seconds of the completion of data processing for your latest sample day.

So DHIA data offers much more than pages of data, as we move into the era where data becomes information that is useful for day to day activities and management.

Lab analyses continue to evolve and you will read more about that this fall as we anticipate new information from the DHIA milk sample.

DHIA is a people business. The people that matter are the Field Technicians that come to the farm and enable the service. They are the top asset and biggest challenge for our future. Without them someone else would have to take that milk sample, enter and audit that data. Thank you to all the good folks who enjoy the weird hours and funny smells, the hospitality and humor they encounter, and the sense that what they do matters.

And thanks for being our customers and for providing the data to move us forward.

Zumbrota Lab consolidates into Centre Labs

Early this month, the Zumbrota Lab transferred milk analyses and equipment to the larger and newer Centre Labs facility in Sauk Centre. The move is geared to continue efficient and quality milk analyses services in the face of the economic challenges facing dairy producers. The consolidation makes it easier to offer new information from the DHIA milk sample as technology continues to evolve.

Minnesota DHIA dairy producers, the University of Minnesota and the dairy community have been very well served by the people and services of the Zumbrota Lab. They have done all that was asked and expected, and done it very well indeed. They were an acknowledged leader in milk analyses in our world. We are grateful for their good efforts.

Muril Niebuhr moves to a field management position which also includes research and development as we look at new devices and sensors on the farm.

We salute South Goodhue and Stearns County Associations for their foresight in developing the labs and for their leadership in helping ensure quality services remain affordable.

In addition to milk analyses which include butterfat, protein, SCC, MUN, and solids on every sample, Centre Labs offer Pregnancy, Leukosis, and Johne’s results using the DHIA milk sample. We also offer mastitis culturing on milk and bedding cultures as well as sensitivities.

The forage testing service continues at Centre Labs, in cooperation with our new partner Cumberland Valley Labs. Manure testing also continues after setting an all-time record for samples run during December.

Front L to R: Laurie Eberhart-28 years, Amy Husbyn-20 years, Alyssa Mancilman 1 year, Danielle Kennedy-1 year Back L to R: Muril Niebuhr-40 years, Rachael Sorby-4 years, Marissa Myers-4 and Nathan Hamblin-12 years.

Last summer, Josh interned on a Mary Liebenstein 1,700-cow dairy in Wisconsin. His duties included assisting with University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine calvings and herd checks, processing calves, treating fresh cows and sick cows, and entering data into DairyComp.

Attending the National 4-H Dairy Conference sparked Mary’s interest in becoming a veterinarian. Her dairy farm background provided a solid foundation, but she recognized the diversity among dairy farms, so she interned on a 1,500-cow dairy and a system of dairies with 8,000 cows each. Mary did a bovine externship in Washington state, which provided yet another perspective of dairy farming. Before starting veterinary school, she spent a summer working with bovine faculty to collect data for research projects on calves and lameness. This opportunity showed Mary the importance of accurate data collection and ongoing research to help advance the dairy industry. Armed with a Spanish minor, she communicated in Spanish with many farm employees and conducted trainings. Mary serves as the Production Animal Medicine Club bovine vice president and belongs to Business Management Association and Christian Veterinary Fellowship.

Minnesota Board of Animal Health 625 Robert Street North St. Paul, Minnesota 55155 651-296-2942 animalhealth@state.mn.us www.mn.gov/bah The Minnesota Board of Animal Health continues investigations related to the importation of cattle possibly exposed to bovine tuberculosis (TB). The Wisconsin TB affected dairy herd has resulted in 116 investigations, 15 of which are ongoing. Most of these cattle are dairy steers being quarantined until slaughter. Three of four investigations are ongoing that include cattle that originated from the TB affected dairy in Texas. Six investigations were initiated due to imported cattle from an affected North Dakota herd and one investigation is ongoing. South Dakota’s affected beef herds resulted in 127 investigations, all of which have concluded. No TB has been identified in cattle in Minnesota during any of the 257 investigations.

In October 2019, the USDA suspended its plan to phase out visual only official identification (ID) ear tags and replace them with 840 pre-fix radio frequency ID (RFID) ear tags. The Board has decided to continue to move towards this transition. Livestock producers have the ability to purchase visual official tags from multiple sources until the USDA lifts its suspension and identifies a new phase-out timeline. Official RFID tags continue to be available for purchase from multiple manufacturers as well. In addition, the Board is currently working with USDA on a distribution plan to offer official RFID tags to livestock producers and accredited veterinarians at no cost to them, for use in replacement heifers. This is a limited program where Minnesota is eligible for a total of just over 200,000 RFID tags. Details on this are still being determined.

The Board received limited funds to purchase RFID equipment. This equipment is intended for use in livestock concentration points. The Board will select concentration points that process the highest numbers of RFID tagged cattle to utilize the equipment, and in turn the facility will submit required forms electronically. In addition, the Board is partnering with the Oregon Department of Agriculture to offer an electronic data platform to Minnesota accredited veterinarians. This platform will be at no cost to our veterinarians and will allow them to issue electronic CVIs, TB test charts, BR vaccination records, and possibly more – all through the same platform. The Board is currently working to finalize this collaboration and develop training resources.
