Well, I think Summer is finally here, although it was just a Couple months ago that it looked like the front of Christmas card in our area, when we had over eleven inches of snow.

A Message From The President

By Randall Kiko

We had outstanding weather for our Annual Meeting, Convention Sale, and Farm Tours.

The event was very well attended and one of the best I have personally experienced. Thank you to all the consignors, buyers, bidders, and sponsors for your contribution. You made this possible.

We just recently held our spring board meeting. We have four new members that we want to welcome.

Rod Campbell, District 2; Scott Sprunger, District 7; Kurt Topp, District 12 and Don Bickel, District 15.

I want to take the time to thank Lisa Kerr for several years of outstanding service, time, and selfless dedication as OHA Treasurer. Lisa was a great asset to the Association and did a lot of unexpected work.

Never once did I hear her complain. Thanks again, Lisa!

I want to wish Ohio Junior Members the best of luck at this year’s National Convention. Plans are in the making for a fall barn meeting with more information to come.

Wishing all a happy summer and safe planting season.

~Randall Kiko

Family Reunions

By Jackie Bickel, Ohio News Editor

Reflecting back on Ohio Holstein’s recent Annual Meeting, I cannot help but to compare it to a Family Reunion. In fact, the similarities are quite many, if you think about it.

According to Wikipedia, a Family Reunion is, “an occasion when many members of an extended family congregate.

Sometimes reunions are held regularly, for example on the same date of every year. A typical Family Reunion will assemble grandparents, great-grandparents and up for a meal, some recreation and discussion.”

How fitting. In a society all too often characterized by age segregation, Family Reunions also provide an increasingly rare opportunity for many different generations to connect. Same with our Annual Meetings...elders, grandparents, parents, teenagers, and children gather to catch-up, eat, re-connect, relax, play, (did I mention eat?) and perhaps most importantly, to tell stories that reminisce about the past. Our Annual Meetings strengthen family bonds, preserve traditions, and create a sense of connection and belonging within our Holstein Family.

My favorite part of the Annual Meetings is the reminiscing. Having married into a dairy family, I am fascinated with the history behind the herds and the

members who have developed them. These stories are the only way to preserve tradition and to promote an appreciation for our Association’s past, present, and future. I spent some time that weekend listening to stories about those who passed away in 2015. Larger than life people whose absence was noted throughout the weekend. Those stories helped everyone to cope with their palpable absence and preserve their legacy for our younger generations.

Of course, what is a Reunion without a mouthwatering spread of food? And that’s exactly what Louise Harding and her group prepared for us at the Celebration Dinner, hosted at Steam Valley Farm by the Steel Family. It doesn’t matter what you say, nothing compares to the cooking of a group of Methodist Women!

The weekend was also a time to “brag” about our children and their accomplishments. Our Junior Association Members are such talented young people, it is exciting to think how some of them will impact the future of Ohio Holstein.

Our Annual Meetings are also a way for us to honor our elders. From Catherine Ramsey, our 2016 Woman of the Year, to Glen Sageser, our 2016 Member of Distinguished Service, it’s important to relive the connections of their earlier years and see the impact they have made on later generations.

These gatherings teach our junior members where Friday was a beautiful afternoon for a farm tour at Four-Pines Farm, hosted by the Deetz Family. The venue also made for a great setting for the members to spend some time socializing and admiring a beautiful facility and exceptional cows.

they came from.

As adults, we discover new connections and cultivate “old” friendships. We find someone with a similar hobby, talent or interest. And, we You are never too young to appreciate a fine Holstein of cows!people who have have a network across herd theof state something in common with us.

And from the stories I’ve heard, the Annual Meetings have all been successes, because those who attended generally went home feeling a renewed sense of bonding with other members and a re-attachment to being active in the dairy industry. This wouldn’t happen if we didn’t have a matriarch in our own family making sure that every detail has been attended to.

Thanks, Julie Renner, for taking on this role!

But above all, being a part of something bigger than just your immediate family farm is most rewarding.

You get a sense of belonging - just knowing that you are a member of a really big extended family that cares about you and has so many interesting people that enrich your own life.

Thank you to the members of District 3 for hosting such a memorable Annual Meeting. The food was excellent, the company was entertaining and the sale was very well-run. Just as with Family Reunions, it takes many hours to plan and prepare for an event of this size.

For the Bickel Family, Annual Meetings are always a short vacation that doesn’t involve top-lines or sleeping in the barn. We get to go somewhere to see outstanding cows and have a great time with people we enjoy spending time with.

I am proud to be a member of our Ohio Holstein Family. Take care and I will see you at the many shows this summer!

Highlights from the 96th Ohio Holstein Annual Meeting 2016 Ohio Holstein Distinguished Service Award

The Ohio Holstein Distinguished Service Award is a time-honored recognition given to an outstanding individual who has shown tremendous support to the Ohio Association and the Holstein industry. Each year, three past presidents are contacted for nominees, vote on them and the winner is kept secret until the presentation.

The 2016 Distinguished Service Award recipient is Glen Sageser. Glen is Ohio’s field-man from the National Holstein Association and has spent time with a lot of herds in Ohio, encouraging them to register their Holsteins and participate in the programs that the National Holstein Association has available. He has helped herds to sell cattle privately. And, he has been a great asset to our Ohio Sales, securing consignments, attracting buyers and working alongside the sale staff.

Glen even spent an entire day helping to clip cattle for one of our sales. Glen is a very worthy recipient of this honor. Ohio Holstein is very appreciative of his years of dedication and commitment to our Association.

Lawrence Whiteleather (holding plaque) surrounded by his family members

2016 Ohio Holstein Senior Buckeye Breeder Award

Lawrence Whiteleather was born into a farming family and soon grew to love the Holstein cows at a young age. As the eighth child of nine, he quickly learned hard work. He and his siblings would be up before school milking, feeding calves and helping their parents in the barn. While other teenage friends and family members would love to drive the tractors and equipment, Lawrence could be found in the barn learning more about the cows. His father, Ludwig, would always say it was worth two dollars to identify a bullying cow from the pasture. This began Lawrence’s love for the genetics of the Holstein cow and breeding.

His dad always had registered Holsteins and used top AI bulls with 75% reliability. Gene Shoemaker was the AI technician that inspired the Whiteleathers to have the better bull in order to get a better cow. In 1978, the Whiteleathers began testing with DHIA. In 1979, when Lawrence was a senior in high school, they scored for the first time through the Holstein Association.

Lawrence remembers watching and learning from his brother and sisters as they showed Holstein cows.

He enjoyed the competitions and remembers his sisters competing. At a young age, Lawrence took what he learned from his sisters and then he took it to another level, with their help of course. He enjoyed working with the cows, showing his love of the cow and bringing her to her fullest potential. His greatest memory is winning his first grand championship in the sixth grade. Presently, one of the excellent cows in the herd, Whiteleather Outside 367, known to most as “Miss America” has set the bar for the herd. She was an outstanding flush cow who has 150 offspring. Another

favorite is Whiteleather Sizzle. She was an All-Ohio three-year-old in 2012 and an All-Ohio four-year-old in 2013. In 2014, she was Grand Champion as a fiveyear-old at the Mid-East Fall National Holstein Show in Louisville, KY. Sizzle made All-Ohio as an aged cow in 2015, as well. Since the late 1970’s, Lawrence has had the opportunity to work with many exceptional buyers from Whiteleather Holsteins. He sold a two-year-old milking heifer sired by Valiant that was the farm’s first 30,000 pound two-year-old cow. When Lawrence got to Bob Morral’s farm, they put her in a box stall next to a 96-poiny Black Rose cow...Lawrence thought he had a winner until he saw that cow! His first merchandising experience really opened his eyes and inspired him to study his own cows and use the best bulls with highprofile genetics. The Whiteleathers have sold in many states, as well as Italy, Mexico and Japan from a herd that has produced 107 Excellent, 697 Very Good, 14 Gold Medal Dams, 18 Dam of Merit and 19 in the Top 10,000. Lawrence has been involved in 4-H for all of his life. Even before his “Cloverbud” days, he can remember helping his brother and sistersat the county fair. As an adult, he shares his passion for showing with his three children, nieces and nephews. Although most of his hours and days are spent at the farm with his cows, he also enjoys the sport of basketball. Lawrence coached his sons in both basketball and baseball, as well as for the Minerva community, grades 4 through 6. He is also a member of St. John’s Lutheran Church and Damascus First Friends.

2016 Ohio Holstein Junior Buckeye Breeder Award

Phillip Topp found his niche with registered Holsteins growing up on the family dairy farm with his two brothers. His father, Don, was diagnosed with cancer and passed away when Phil was only 8 years-old. It was then that his mother, Mary Lou, was determined to continue the dairy operation. And. with the help of her young sons, Topp-View continued to thrive.

Today, Topp-View is milking 60 registered cows, consisting of Holsteins, Jerseys and Brown Swiss.

With 35 Excellents and 25 Very Goods, Phillip and his brothers have maintained

a quality herd that is recognized across the country.

Phillip and his brothers enjoy showing at their county fair, the Ohio State Fair, NAILE and the World Dairy Expo, as well as serving as judges in the same arenas.

Phillip and his wife, Carrie, have three children. Aubree is nine, Aiden is seven and Alaina is five. They reside in Shelby County where Phillip is a member of the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church and is active in helping the Botkins FFA Dairy Judging Team.

Catherine Ramsey (holding flowers) attended the Annual Meeting with several of her family members

2016 Ohio Holstein Woman of the Year

Catherine Ramsey was born and raised on a dairy farm in New Alexandria, Ohio in Jefferson Co. Her parents had Holsteins and Guernseys. As a young girl Catherine helped milk the cows and also help with the crops. When she was out of high school she helped bottle the milk and delivered it to homes and stores in Jefferson County. Catherine and Paul Ramsey were married in 1950 and moved to Richmond, Ohio, where they farmed with Paul’s father and brother. It was in Richmond where their five children, William, Joe, Tom, Gary and Carrie were born and raised. Catherine continued to be very active in the day to day farm life in addition she helped her children participate in 4-H and district shows. Later Paul and Catherine purchased a farm in Louisville, Ohio in Stark County and continued to enjoy life on the farm. Catherine was always ready to fill in wherever she was needed. Along with milking, raising and registering calves, she would help out in the fields when necessary. She also handled all the farm records and bookkeeping for over 50 years. Catherine always had food ready for the employees when they put in long days. In late 1970 and 1980’s, when Paul served on the Holstein State Board, Catherine served on the woman’s committee. Catherine then became Secretary/ Treasurer of District 2 Holstein Club.

Ohio Holstein ByWomen’s Convention News Kathy Johnson, Past President The 96th Ohio Holstein Convention held March 11 and 12, 2016 in District 3 at the Dover-New Philadelphia area was a big success. Thank you to District 3 for all their hard work. It takes many hands for everything to come together so successfully. The Women’s Association thanks the families of Four Pines Farm and Steam Valley Farms for opening up their facilities to us.

We also are grateful for the 2015-2016 Queens Committee, consisting of Mikayla Conrad, Cayla Inkrott and Allison Mangun for all their hard work. Ella Jackson, daughter of Ray and Colleen Jackson of District 11 was crowned queen. Becca Vales, daughter of Stephen and Laurie Vales of District 11 was runner-up. Emma Matthews will join the 2016-2017 Queen Committee. We also appreciate the efforts of Lisa Mangun for serving on the Woman of the Year Committee. Catherine Ramsey, of Paradise Valley Farms of Louisville, Ohio was the recipient. Congratulations, Catherine. The scholarship award went to Anna Miley of West Salem, Ohio. Julie Renner worked hard to make this award happen. The 2016-2017 Woman of the Year Committee consists of Lisa Mangun and Jane Moff.

The fun auction brought in $1,875.00. I want to thank all those who donated/purchased items and also Julie Renner for organizing the auction. The Holstein Women greatly appreciate all those involved. The

Holstein Women designated money to buy new chairs for the board room at the Wooster office. The officers for 2016-2017 are President Betty Whiteleather, VicePresident Louise Harding, Secretary Sara Twining and Treasurer Lisa Mangun. I would like to thank everyone who supported our Holstein Women’s group over the years that I served as President. The Holstein Association has outstanding individuals who work hard, raise families and leave the land in better shape than when they acquired it.

My husband Fred and sons Wesley and Travis are going in another direction. We are becoming involved with the Ohio and National Cattlemen’s and Beef Associations. We acquired three farms in the North Georgetown, Ohio area. We started in 2012 with 16 Hereford Limousine beef cattle and today we have 93, mostly Black Angus Limousine. We sell beef and pork quarters, halves and wholes, as well as individual freezer cuts at our location at 28240 Gilson Road, Salem, Ohio.

However, it doesn’t mean I will become a stranger to the wonderful Holstein families. I wish the best of luck to all those in the show ring this summer and wish great weather for a prosperous year of crops.

God Bless the Farmers, ~Kathy Johnson, Past President

A Letter To Farmshine Dear Dieter Krieg: I recently read your April Fools’ Day story in Farmshine and enjoyed it as I always do. You wrote about Europeans developing new innovative dairy drinks to ship to the United States.

They included all natural products as well as Miller Happy Life, an adult beverage.

In both cases the cow herself produces the desired product based simply on how the cow is fed. This set me to thinking----perhaps your idea is not as “foolish” as you might think. What if cows were fed only vegetables along with grass and hay. Would they produce “Veggie Milk”?

I remember my Mom telling me about the Jersey cow they had when she was a child. My grandparents were very poor and could not afford grain for the cow, so Grandma saved all her peelings from vegetables, cooked them, added a little bran to the mixture and fed this to the cow to keep her milking. When I was young we cut up pumpkins and fed them to the cows along with our basic home ground feed. Our daughter, Cindy, owned a big, white calf that she showed for several years and who won Junior All-Ohio awards. At night this calf was turned out in a small lot that was close to my parent’s house.

Mom tossed all her vegetable and fruit peelings over the fence into this lot. As soon as the calf was turned in, she would make a beeline for those peelings and eat them.

She ate apple peelings, potato peelings, carrots, banana peels, even grapefruit peels, and more, earning her the nickname “Garbage”–Garby for short. Her favorite thing was over-ripe cucumbers and we fed them to her all her life. She became well-known all over eastern Ohio, not only for winning in the show ring but also because of her nickname! We also had a young cow named “Burkie” who loved tomatoes and, when turned in to pasture hay fields in the fall of the year where there was one of our gardens, she would stand in the middle of the garden squishing tomatoes in her mouth, juice flying everywhere. So I know that dairy cattle will eat vegetables.

If dairy cows were on a vegetable diet would Vegans then drink the milk and use the dairy products from that milk? Would it be a lower butterfat content, allowing people on a diet to lose weight or those just wanting to be healthier to drink whole milk? Perhaps kids who don’t want to eat their vegetables would drink more milk and eat more ice cream made from “Veggie Milk”. Of course, we would have to avoid any vegetables that would affect the taste. What about feeding cows fruits? Would milk from cows fed apples, blueberries or fruits with Vitamin C give milk that is even better for us? What about people who eat “gluten free”? Would products from Veggie Milk appeal to them as the cows would not be eating grain?

Kobe beef is a special kind of beef that comes from Japan and is very high priced. The diet of those beef animals is strictly controlled and they are fed sake and beer mash. They receive a special massage every day.

The meat is becoming more popular with consumers here in the United States. Perhaps we should be looking more at producing milk in special ways that will make consumers want to buy more dairy products. We already know that consumers, especially mothers, are emptying the store shelves of organic milk and they are quite willing to pay the price. So why not give them milk and dairy products that satisfy their concerns about what their family is eating and drinking. It is true that the cow herself produces the desired product based on what she is fed. We could have labels on the milk such as “Garden Guernsey”, “Healthy Holstein”, Veggie Vitality, and more. Our dairymen and dairywomen work very hard. Finding ways to make dairy products appeal more to the consumer, so that more dairy products are sold, should be the goal of everyone in the dairy industry. Perhaps knowing that dairy cows are on special diets would create more interest in drinking milk and consuming the products made with that milk.

Massaging the udders could be optional. Your April Fools’ Day story just might not be “foolish” after all! ~Yours Mooly, Barb

Esther’s Extras – continued from page 9

tables, which also brought more perspectives to The Ohio News. I focused on the goal of making a profit on the in-and-out of every issue. I did achieve this goal. The best part of being the editor was meeting the many fine Holstein breeders in Ohio, the US and other countries along with many others in the dairy industry. The people I met were the most significant part of my experience.

What counsel can you provide to the next editor?

As an editor I have found that results don’t happen overnight, and no one can do the job of editor alone.

Remember that everyone needs recognition and needs to feel important. Be more concerned about the other person than about yourself.

I would hope that The Ohio News would continue to be useful and interesting to our members and that the membership would take ownership of The Ohio News and recognize its importance as the glue that binds the statewide membership together.

While we meet face to face only a few times a year, we can meet on the pages

of The Ohio News every issue.

I encourage The Ohio News to continue to tell the stories of our Holstein breeder families that will emphasize our similarities and recognize our differences. Remember that when each issue is published, it is Ohio Holstein news, and later it will become Ohio Holstein history. This publication becomes the state archives for Ohio Holstein industry.

My hope is that The Ohio News will continue to serve and celebrate the membership, and chronicle the success of the Holstein breed and breeders in Ohio so that the stories will resonate long after publication as honest and relevant. Changes are inevitable.

Esther, can you give us your thoughts on the “then and now” changes and progressions you have observed?

When I started as editor, we were using standard typewriters, black and white 5 x 7 prints of cows, snail mail and sometimes designing the ad on graph paper. The most advanced office machines were a fax and an automatic letter folder. I believe the

Ohio Holstein Women bought one or both of these items for the office. Now we work with computers, email and full-color copy machines. It is remarkable how fast we can get email photos.

It is especially helpful, now that we cannot trade photos with other magazines. Each issue of The Ohio News now goes online, and our webmaster Peter Spike keeps our website updated. One big change is that sale and show results show up on line within a day, before The Ohio News can be printed and distributed.

Nevertheless, I believe our members appreciate having a magazine they can hold in their hands and read. I know some of our members do not have any email access and others do not have speedy email.

Final thoughts…

I want to thank everyone who has helped me through the years: staff, officers and board members, committee chairs, advertisers, contributors and my family. I am so proud of the way everyone is working together to continue the success of the Ohio Holstein Association.

This form, registration paper and photo must be sent to the Ohio Holstein office to be considered for Junior All-Ohio Awards. Please include a head shot or small photo of the Junior owner of the animal. Rules can be found on page 67 of the May/June 2014 issue of Ohio News and on the Ohio Holstein website at www.ohioholstein.com.

JUNIOR ALL-OHIO To apply for Junior All-Ohio Awards, you need to fill out the following and send with a copy of the registration (both sides) and a current picture of your animal to: The Ohio Holstein Association, P.O. Box 479, Wooster, OH 44691 by December 1, 2014.

Holstein USA Updates ET Registration Requirements Holstein Association USA is excited to announce that, effective May 1, 2016, recovery, transfer and freezing forms will no longer be required to register calves resulting from embryo transfer (ET) or invitro fertilization (IVF). As a result, embryo transfer administration fees will no longer be charged when registering calves resulting from ET or IVF.

An additional random parentage verification program is also being instituted for ET heifers of high genetic merit. “We are excited to be able to take advantage of technology to help streamline the registration process for some of our customers,� said Lindsey Worden, Executive

Director, Holstein Genetic Services. “We feel that with the updates to our ET spot-checking programs, we will not only eliminate some processes that currently create headaches for breeders, but also help ensure that the integrity of the Holstein herd book is still maintained at a high standard.�

Keep Calves Healthy and Growing by Reducing Pathogen Exposure Cleaning and sanitizing steps. Are employees spraying and wiping down items in one step? This might leave the item looking clean. However, harmful bacteria can still be lurking on the surface. Items must be cleaned of all organic matter (dirt, feces, etc.) before a cleaning solution can reach the bacteria and successfully sanitize “When calves are exposed to fewer environmental the surface. To effectively reduce pathogen loads, be sure challenges, they have more energy to utilize toward employees use two separate steps to clean and sanitize. feed conversion and weight gain,” explains Christie Underwood, Ph.D., calf and heifer specialist with Purina Equipment that needs attention.

Personal Attention, One of the best ways to keep calves healthy and growing is to limit their exposure to harmful bacteria. Even when calves who are exposed to disease pathogens do not become ill, they still exert valuable energy to fight off the disease.

Third party audits. Bringing in an outside expert to review facilities and protocols can often uncover problem areas that employees might be overlooking.

Outside experts may have dealt with a similar problem on another farm and they often have access to additional resources that can help solve mysterious health problems and improve sanitation protocols.

By investing a little more time and resources to reduce pathogen exposure through stringent sanitation protocols, calf raisers can have healthier calves that utilize more energy toward growth. A recent study evaluating cleaning and sanitation methods showed that calves housed in properly cleaned and sanitized calf hutches had increased average daily gain.

“More work on this area is still needed, but improving the quality of a calf ’s environment reduces its exposure to pathogens and results in a healthier calf that will convert feed to weight more efficiently,” says Underwood.

David Blough of Goshen, Indiana was tragically killed in a farm accident today, Monday, March 7th, 2016.

David Frederick Blough was born in Goshen on June 20, 1951 to Dorothy and Duane Blough. David graduated from Jefferson High School in 1969 and attended Goshen College for two years. After transferring to Purdue University, he graduated with honors in 1973 in the School of Animal Science. As a member of the Purdue Collegiate Dairy Judging Team in 1972, he received top10 recognition in each of the national contests.

In Memoriam

Previously, David served as a 4-H leader for the Elkhart County Dairy Club for 20 years and influenced many dairy farmers and professionals throughout his tenure as an advisor. He served as a 4-H Adult Leader President, a member of 4-H Corporation, and of the 4-H Expansion and Review Committee.

He and Michelle coached Indiana Agricultural Quiz Bowl teams and Holstein Association, Ayrshire Association and Guernsey Association National Quiz Bowl teams for 20 years.

David was a lifelong dairyman operating Woodsbrook Farms with his parents and, later, with his wife and children. On July 7, 1973, he married Michelle Bullard. She survives along with his two sisters; Trudy (Rick) Racine of Ozawkie, Kansas; and Dr. Jan (J.C.) Haynes of Cleveland, Mississippi; a daughter, Dr. Emilie Blough; a son, Craig Blough (fiancé Jessica Herschberger) all of Goshen, and Cara (Derek) and Joel Brovont and four granddaughters of West Lafayette. Also surviving are his aunt Shirley Hall, uncle John Shoup (Margaret), three nieces, two nephews and their families, as well as cousins. He was preceded in death by his parents, infant brother Craig Thomas, Aunt Janice Robinson, Aunt and Uncle Marjorie and Hugh Woosley and his son, Derek F. Blough.

David was a problem solver and knowledgeable about farming, the dairy industry and just about any other topic. “Uncle Dave” was always guaranteed to provide an interesting conversation. He had an uncanny ability to remember details about any animal, person or circumstance and his photographic ability to remember dairy animals of all breeds and their pedigrees was unparalleled. Most of all, David enjoyed people, interesting details and great cattle. David was truly a one of a kind individual and will be missed by his family and all who have known him throughout life.

David served on the Farm Bureau, Inc. Board of Directors. He was a lifelong member of Goshen City Church of the Brethren; 40 year member of Elkhart County Dairy Advisory Board; Jefferson Township Advisory Board; National Dairy Shrine; Indiana Holstein Association and the national breed associations for Guernsey, Ayrshire, Holstein, Brown Swiss, Jersey, Milking Shorthorn, and Angus Association.

He was on the list of Accredited Judges for the National Holstein Association, USA.

Doris L. Shellhouse, 86, died at 9:15 a.m. Thursday, March 10, 2016, at St. Francis Home, Tiffin. She was born Dec. 1, 1929, in Darke County, to Melvin and Burnice (Mills) Wolfe.

She married Robert W. Shellhouse Oct. 19, 1952, and he survives.

JEREMY BAUMAN NEW 625i John Deere Gator

with help from Koenig Equipment of Anna and Botkins

(L to R) Eric Topp, from Koenig Equipment congratulates Jeremy Bauman , newly-elected District 7 President and winner of the John Deere gator from the Junior’s Ultimate Raffle

My name is Ella Jackson and I am serving as this year’s Ohio Holstein Queen! My parents are Ray and Colleen Jackson.

My family owns and operates a 75-cow dairy farm near DeGraff where we milk mostly Holsteins. I just finished my first year at The Ohio State University where I am majoring in Animal Sciences with a dairy emphasis. Over the school year and this summer I have an internship at Sexing Technologies where I mainly work in calf health.

Currently, I am learning how to ultrasound calf lungs to find sub-clinical pneumonia. I also am very involved working and helping to manage the home farm, where I am developing my own herd of registered Holsteins (as well as one registered Jersey and Brown Swiss).

I have also been very active on Ohio dairy judging teams, being a member of the second place national 4-H team as well as placing third individually at the national 4-H contest. This year I was able to compete at a few collegiate contests. One highlight of the year was the Fort Worth Stock Show Contest where I was able to travel to Texas in January and place third in reasons and sixth overall. I am very excited to see where dairy judging will take me next as I work hard to continue to improve. Buckeye Dairy Club has also been a big part of my college experience and I am excited to be next year’s Buckeye Classic Sale chair.

I am proud that I was chosen to be a representative of such a wholesome industry and hardworking group of people. I am looking forward to getting to know more people in the industry over the next year as well as strengthen the relationships I already have. If there is any event you would like me to attend over the next year feel free to contact me at (937)441-2878 or jackson.2538@buckeyemail.osu.edu.

I look forward to seeing you all soon!

Impressive Young Men Win Top Junior Honors at the 2016 Annual Meeting Awards Luncheon Keaton Topp of ToppView Farm in Botkins, Ohio, is the 2016 Ohio Distinguished Junior Member. The son of Keith and Kindra Topp, he hails from a long time, legendary Ohio dairy family in Northwest Ohio. The grandson of Mary Lou and the late Donald Topp, Keaton started his dairy career early with a gift of a calf from his grandmother. Since the gift of that calf, he has purchased numerous animals and built his herd to an impressive 25 head. He concentrates on breeding high type and structurally sound animals that will last.

Keaton has been showing from an early age and now shows at the local, state and national levels. He has exhibited numerous class winners and champions in multiple breeds as well as winning showmanship awards. At the state level he has participated in both judging contests and skillathons.

At home Keaton is responsible for helping with chores at the farm from cleaning to feeding calves.

He is involved in his local 4-H club as the current vice president and local FFA chapter as treasurer and member of the parliamentary procedure team. As a member of the Ohio Junior Holstein Association he has served as board member, news reporter and vice president and delegate at national convention.

In high school, the 16-year-old is active in numerous activities including the high school musical, choir, foreign language club and runs cross country. He is also active in Teens for Truth and a server at church.

After high school, Keaton plans to pursue a college degree and ultimately a career in the veterinary field.

Matt Oechsle is the recipient of the 2016 Ohio Memorial Award Scholarship and the newly established Esther Welch Ag Communications Scholarship. The Ohio Memorial Award scholarship was established to honor those affiliated with Ohio Holsteins and were lost at an early age. The Esther 78

Welch Ag Communications Scholarship has been established in honor of long-time Ohio Holstein News Editor Esther Welch.

Matt is the son of Jim and Cheri Oechsle of Van Wert, Ohio. Raised in Northwest Ohio on a small hobby farm, Matt developed his love for the dairy industry raising show heifers and developing a small herd of Holsteins to help finance his college endeavors and career. He has established himself within the industry as a talented fitter and showman, working for show strings and sales across the country and Canada over the past five years.

Matt has won numerous showmanship awards, and shown and developed the 2014 Jr. All-American Red & White Yearling in Milk with his family. He has served in numerous offices for the Ohio Junior Holstein Association and as a delegate to the National conventions for a number of years. Matt was the recipient of the Ohio Memorial Award last year.

Matt was active in a variety of clubs, sports and musical activities in high school and still continues to entertain with his musical talents. He is in his second year of studies at Clark State College where his concentration is on business and communications.

He works at Stan Mar Dale/Express Holsteins when he isn’t on the road clipping and fitting cattle.
