I’m just going to say it, I love spring. I always thought summer was my favorite season, and I can’t say I enjoy spring more than summer, but there’s something about it, something in the air. No other season has a fever associated with it, in a positive way… I think I’ve heard the term “winter blues” but to me, that just doesn’t carry a positive connotation. There’s just no other season that’s like spring; everything is starting to come alive again, the world is waking up. January first may be the start of the calendar year, but to me, the year really doesn’t start until spring. I’m so excited to be in the fields getting the ground ready, and then plant and excitedly wait for the little sprouts to come up, checking every day to see if they’ve made their appearance yet. I don’t adore the mud, but it’s just something that has to be put up with for a time. In my world, spring and summer are best, while fall is alright but it’d be better if followed spring, with maybe two weeks of cold. In the midst of all that, summer shows will be here sooner than I’d like to admit. Shows are such a wonderful place to be inspired, to check out the breeding of others, to compete, to catch up, and make new friends. I realized the other day that the only people I talk to on a daily basis (outside of family) I met through showing. There’s something about the bond of people brought together by a common passion and way of life, and it’s not that easy to find anymore. We’re a select few, we who dairy. So let’s remember to take the time to catch up with those we don’t see often when the opportunity presents itself- the work will always be waiting. I would like to thank the sponsors of the All-Pennsylvania and Convention pages; the magazine would not be what it is without them. If you see them, please thank them for their contributions. ~Rose Morian, Editor

As the wonderful old hymn says, “Count your Blessings name them one by one. Count your many blessings and see what God has done!” If you will indulge me for several minutes, I plan to count this Association’s blessings as I review the past year. In my humble opinion, the number one blessing this year and every year is the members. Whether adult or junior, each member shares their talents with their local and state Associations to the benefit of the whole. This is invaluable and necessary for the success of our Association on all levels. How else could we provide and execute the fabulous programs and services for our members? Our hosting of the National Holstein Convention is truly a testament to the impact that selfless, highly determined, and motivated members can have on an Association. If you recall last year we weren’t sure if Covid was going to negate this opportunity. Thankfully, it did not. Once we were given the green light on March 5, 2021 to hold the Convention, your leadership team of Reid and Diane Hoover and Jim and Irene Osborne jumped into action, with the help of their sub-committees. A full list of committees can be found in the National Convention souvenir Profiles magazine. Frankly, it was an intense three and a half months of Zoom and in-person meetings. PHA hosted approximately 950 fellow Holstein enthusiasts from roughly 30 states. The Juniors competed in Dairy Bowl, Dairy Jeopardy and DJM, among other events. You can see some of the wonderful accomplishments of our Junior members in the Profiles and Annual Report. The Family Fun Night at Cherry-Crest Adventure Farm, complete with a ride on the historic Strasburg Railroad, was a smashing success. The Junior Welcome Mixer at Misty-Z Holsteins provided the opportunity for Juniors to socialize, as did the first judging contest at a National Convention, and a dance on the herd’s exercise lot. The Sale was marvelousfrom the gorgeous summer evening to the equally gorgeous Holsteins sold. The tents were packed with Holstein lovers of all ages. It served as the cherry on top of the perfect sundae of a convention! None of that would have been possible if it were not for the hundreds of members that volunteered their time and talents. Also, among our blessings this year are the Junior and Show programs, and the fantastic people that make it possible to conduct these events. Thanks to the leadership of the youth committee chair, Jennifer Boop, Amanda Mitcheltree, and the three adult advisors (Lolly Lesher, Jen Boop and Danielle Smoker), we had two highly successful fundraisers; the calf raffle and toasted cheese sandwich stand at the All-American. Klinedell Holsteins of Lebanon county raised the bar by donating a marvelous Red&White calf that hailed from the Apple family. Luke Tanis of Northampton County was a very aggressive young salesman by selling a record amount of raffle tickets. Both events combined to raise more than $7,000. The countless industry partners that conduct business transactions with our members are yet another blessing. These businesses graciously sponsor shows, junior activities, calf raffles, toasted cheese sales, and conventions, both state and national. Our Membership Coupon sponsors kindly give discounts to members that buy products from them. PA Holstein

is eternally grateful for their kindness. Last but not least, the Association Officers and Executive Committee have worked overtime to plan for and implement the new staffing situation for this Association, along with navigating some unexpected issues over the past two years. Our properties in Middletown and State College are blessings to the Association for two entirely different reasons. The Farm in Middletown has the potential to earn enormous income if managed properly. We have had two very profitable quarantine projects in the last two years and there’s more on the horizon. That farm also offers us the flexibility to host heifer sales and to assemble loads of cattle for domestic cattle sales orders. The office in State College provides the central location to host meetings, interviews, etc. It is where administrative activities are accomplished and is the museum for our historic documents, artifacts, and the display of our Hall of Fame winners. I personally am blessed to work with three wonderful women on this PHA staff. Tracy Wellar, the veteran who has assumed new roles and keeps the rest of us in line. Amanda Mitcheltree hit the ground running with the Junior and Event planning. She has implemented several fresh ideas so far. Jennifer Hill seamlessly transitioned into successfully managing the show program. Her efforts were appreciated and will be missed as she departs. PA Holstein Association is blessed with members and staff that share a true passion for Registered Holsteins and the benefits that the Holstein breed has to offer. The Holstein cow allows us to forge wonderful relationships as friends, partners, and in some cases spouses. The first weekend of February featured our first combined Adult and Junior Convention since 1988. This event was a rousing success. The 2023 Convention planners are going to do the same. During the 2022 Convention, we held a very inspiring and educational Breeders Forum, which can still be viewed on the PHA Facebook page. The Convention Sale was incredibly strong with an average of $3,150 on 46 lots. Next up was the 21st Edition of the Delaware Valley University Green & Gold Spring Spectacular Sale. The DVU Dairy Society Students and PHA were able to conduct this sale for the first time since 2019 because of Covid. It had an impressive average of $1,861 on 79 full lots. The student chairs, Aiden Arsenault, Roxanne Kingsley, and Olivia Jones along with alumnus, Josh Sanders should be thanked and appreciated for their efforts! The Association just completed our Spring Show on April 30th in Centre Hall, PA. There were 165 head shown under judge Josh Sanders. The night before we held our Spring Show Showmanship contest with 38 junior members participating. The Spring Show marked the end of Jennifer Hill’s time as PA Holstein Show Coordinator. We are very grateful for her hard work and dedication to our Show program. With her departure, we welcomed Laura Taylor as the new Show Coordinator. Leading up to the Spring Show, Hill and Taylor worked together to plan and then conduct the Spring Show. Great job, ladies! Full show report can be found in this issue. Remember to Count those Blessings!

As I sit here today writing my first column
for the Profiles, on April 18th, Mother Nature has shown us that she is still in control of the weather. I’m at my desk looking out the window at the once green wheat fields covered in a fresh blanket of snow. The snow is attempting to set back the work that spring brings to us every year. Spring always brings a feeling of renewed optimism for the year. As farmers, dairymen, and Registered Holstein breeders, we are the eternal optimists. We are sure that we are starting a new crop that will yield a great harvest. Or have that new calf that will turn into that special show heifer. Or that two-year-old might calve in and turn into the next great cow for your breeding program. New committees with new chair people have been formed, which happens with the change of each administration. If you have been asked to serve, I hope you will consider doing so. These committees are so important to the livelihood of our association. It would be remiss of me not to mention the challenges that we are facing right now as dairymen, such as high feed, fuel, fertilizer, and basically every input cost that comes with producing milk. I know it is difficult to stay positive, but this also brings opportunity. Milk prices look favorable for at least the next several months. Cull cow and beef prices are on the rise, along with a very strong market for springers as well as open heifers to sell. David has a strong demand for heifers of all ages, please contact him if you have extra heifers to sell.

The activities of summer will soon be upon us. At this point, PA has a full delegation slated to attend the National Holstein Convention in South Dakota. It also brings us into the summer show season. Our show program has six Championship Shows scheduled. I would like to encourage anyone interested in showing to participate. It is a great way to promote your breeding program, compete against your peers, renew old friendships, and maybe make some new ones. I would like to thank everyone for their support in having me to serve as your President for the next two years. I hope to see many of you at our activities this summer.

Family Affair N
For the Cessna family, working together is not only a way of life, it’s a recipe for success. -By Rose Morian
In time, two of Buck’s brothers, Clinton and Craig (who was ewly elected President of the Pennsylvania Holstein only five years old when they started the dairy), have gotten Association, Wayne (more commonly known as Buck) Cessna involved in the dairy farm, making a second generation of may now hold the official position of leader, but as with his Cessna brothers working together, as is also the case with the home farm of C-Cove Holsteins, it’s easy to see he works sawmill. Another of Buck’s brothers, Howard, maintains the well with others. Pulling up the driveway at C-Cove the most Cessna Brothers beef herd. Altogether, Cessna Brothers now has prominent feature is the stunning, long, barn that is well taken 13 or 14 partners in the business-enough that it couldn’t be care of and over a century old. The next would be the beautiful narrowed to an exact number without taking extra time to count Standard Collie that greets you with the same good nature as each member. his owners, no barking or growling from this one, just a gracious The brothers work together on the dairy in all things, some welcome. And while Buck may have been the initiator of the specializing in one thing or another, but all being capable of C-Cove dairy herd, the farm is truly a family doing whatever needs done. Craig and Buck usually affair with a rich heritage. We’re a family milk together, while Clinton prefers to feed and C-Cove Holsteins started in 1987, after business and we bed, but they are all aware of what’s going on with Buck had graduated from an Ag Tech course at Potomac State, part of West Virginia actually still get along. the ration, cows, calves, and crops at any given time. Buck’s wife, Dana, picks up milking if they’re University. Buck’s father had eight siblings, We work together shorthanded, and their kids, Tyler and Molly, are three of which went together in partnership every day, and then also involved. Tyler works off farm now, but is at the with him to form Cessna Brothers. Cessna Brothers had a sawmill and a beef herd, we hang out together. farm most weekends to lend a hand any time they are short of help. Molly is also involved on the farm, and when Buck graduated from the Ag Tech can usually be seen in the showring, and designs course, he spearheaded the partnership’s entrance into dairy cattle. When asked why he chose to continue any ads the family uses. Molly got started designing the farms ads after seeking out a contest to participate in while attending his education through the Ag Tech course, Buck said that he the Pennsylvania Junior Holstein Convention. She enjoyed the knew he wanted to branch out and pursue something outside of experience so much that she started designing the ads for the the sawmill and beef businesses. After Buck graduated, Cessna cows she knew and loved, something she plans to continue Brothers bought 50 registered Holsteins and started milking on the property where they currently farm, which they were able to doing in the future. It was 1992 when Buck and Dana first entered the dairy buy piece by piece as the prior owner decided to sell it. As one of eight siblings himself (with six brothers and one sister) it was not cow show world, exhibiting two Holstein March calves at the Bedford County fair. Buck had grown up showing beef steers, a surprise when others from the family joined Buck on the farm. and had enjoyed the competition aspect of it, as he had while

playing high school sports. He knew when he got into dairy cattle that showing was something he would be able to enjoy and started to pursue that idea. As he described it, “When you can’t play sports anymore, you try to find something else to be competitive at. Some people play golf, we show cows.” It was at that fair in 1992 that Bruce Snider encouraged him to show at their Championship show and get involved with Pennsylvania Holstein Association, both of which he did. He learned a great deal through both experiences. “We all start out not knowing what to do, and if you watch the right people, and pay attention, you can learn and better yourself.”
two sons, Trent and Cooper, who are younger and early in their showing years. They also get some outside volunteers, such as the family friend, “Grubby”, who enjoys working with the cows so much he will schedule vacation from his job to come work on the farm during the shows. But showing takes more time than simply having help cover chores during the show. The Cessna brothers already have a special pen in their free-stall to accommodate the cows they’re looking at showing this year. These cows are milked in their own group for convenience, and fed slightly different rations from the ordinary cows in the free stall. It takes an extra 15-20 minutes per milking, but it’s all considered a small sacrifice to be able to do what they love. The brothers joke and talk as they milk in a double four step-up parlor, picking out which heifers they’re excited for or want to improve upon, and which ones they see the most promise in for the future. The free-stalls, calf pens, and heifer barns are bedded multiple times each week with sawdust, as the cleanliness of the cows is of great importance. “We own a sawmill,” Buck said, “we have no excuse for dirty cows, except pure laziness, and if that’s the case, shame We don’t necessarily on us.” Over the years, the have show cows, we original barn’s small lean-to was renovated and made show the cows we have. bigger to accommodate freestall housing for the 85 cows in the milking herd. A calf barn was also added, and another barn remodeled and converted to heifer pens to house their 80-85 head of young stock. The construction work was all done by the family, with lumber cut in the family mill. They also grow and harvest all of their own crops, with the exception of having chopping done custom. They farm 550-600 acres of grass, corn, and small grains, which feeds both the dairy and beef herds. Alfalfa is a challenge to grow on the property, so they have found a way of feeding that works for them and relies on other forages. They also raise every calf born on the farm, bringing the heifers into the milking herd and raising the steers as freezer beef. The equipment on the property is not new, nor are the facilities. The parlor is the original parlor put in 35 years ago when they started. And while both Buck and Craig said they would love to make improvements and updates to their equipment and facilities, knowing how the milk market shifts, they acknowledge that as long as what they have gets the job done, they’re satisfied. Good care and maintenance is just part of the job, and it has kept the equipment in working order and able to accomplish all they need.
“
Buck got involved with the Pennsylvania Holstein Association following that first fair, in the fall and winter of 1992, and by the mid-1990’s was a state director. At the time, he didn’t know any of the other board members, and Ken Raney did as Ken does and welcomed him into the group. It didn’t take long for friendship with the other PHA members to flourish. “This Holstein thing is a completely different set of friends and family than the ones I have here at home. I didn’t grow up with it,” he said, speaking of having no neighboring farms at home, “All these people I got to meet through Holstein were a new set of friends, some of them are people I’m closest to now.” As Buck continued with Pennsylvania Holstein Association, he got more and more involved. Buck chaired the state sale committee once and was show chair twice, under Tim Sturgeon and Reid Hoover. To date, he’s spent 20 years on the show committee helping others have the opportunity to enjoy the shows like he does. “I’ve only missed a couple years at Harrisburg,” he recalled, “And I’ve been to Madison many, many times. I’ve only shown there three times, but I’ve been there a lot.” Being an exhibitor himself helps keep the inspiration alive. It’s clear he doesn’t regret any of the time or energy spent, “Some of the people I’ve met through PHA are my best friends I have to this day.” He went on to explain the impact the people and the association have had: “It’s all because of this business we’re in… you get friends because of the circumstances you find yourself in; I have a different life because of my involvement with PHA.” The large labor pool at home was mentioned as the reason the family is able to balance being able to show and farm; everyone in the family pitches in to make showing possible when the time comes. With eight siblings and over 50 cousins, the family is better equipped than some to cover chores to allow a few to attend the show. Craig and his wife, Jess, have SUMMER 2022 PA Holstein Profiles 12

Buck reflected the farmers heart when talking about his favorite part of farming: the new calves. Calves in this breeder herd come after a carefully selected mating and a nine month wait, with the possibility that this could be “the next great one”. This is the challenge and thrill that motivates the brothers to keep doing what they’re doing. The Cessna brothers carefully choose the matings for each of their cows with an eye to several important factors, aiming mainly for high-type cows that know how to work. “We aim for cows score high with Figure out what works best that high component milk,” for you, and breed the kind Buck said, “We don’t necessarily have show of cows you want. cows, we show the cows we have.” They also take care for the future herd, watching the Somatic Cell score and Daughter Pregnancy Rate of each bull, and will not use a bull that is +3 or -2, respectively. Bulls that have worked well in their herd to date include Solomon, Sidekick, Equation, and going back a few generations, Durham. They’re currently welcoming Delta Lambda calves, with hopes that he’ll be added to that list in the future. As for bulls being used at current, the list includes Crushabull, Luster-P, Latenight, Unstoppabull, Sidekick, and a sprinkling of Tatoo. “You’re always hoping that next one is going to be better than her mother.” The list of favorite cows that they have owned includes such cows as C-Cove-NV Reflect Lexis (EX-94-3E), C-Cove Phoenix Lulu (EX-94-3E), C-Cove Atwood Tess (EX-94-2E), True-Vine Airliner Luella (EX-93), C-Cove-NV Atlantic Lydia (EX-90) (the family’s first to win a national show), and Saxton Hill Sweet Lady-P Ex-93 96MS (RC and polled). The family considers two of the best decisions they have made since starting in business to be buying New-Vision-OBR Licorice-ET EX-90 (the original cow in the “L” family and dam of Lexis) in partnership, and originally purchasing registered Holsteins, which happened somewhat by accident. When asked what they feel their greatest accomplishment is, Buck turned the conversation to how the family has remained a family while in business. “We’re a family business and we actually still get along. We work together every day, and then we hang out together. How often do you see that?” On the cow side of it, he pointed to the progress that has been made in the past 35 years. The first time C-Cove classified, the highest scored cow out of 45-50 reviewed was their only cow to merit a score of Very Good, and the official BAA was under 100.
“
Since then, they have bred multiple EX-94 point cows. Because of the classification program they utilize, Cessna brothers does not have an official BAA, but current herd statistics are: 12 Excellent, 40 Very Good, 20 Good Plus, and 1 Good.

C-Cove Phoenix Lulu EX--94-2E
Saxton-Hill Sweet Lady P EX-93 Cessna Brothers is truly a family business, with not only the brothers working together, but multiple generations of siblings working together. Both Buck and Craig’s kids are currently involved with the dairy, as well as showing at the local, state, and national levels. Clinton and his wife Susie have one son, Zane, who currently works off farm. Howard’s children, Kylee and Holden, also show cattle, but on the beef side. Kylee is currently a student at the Ohio State University focused in Equine and Holden is a senior in high school. When asked what advice they would pass on to others, Buck shared some advice given to him. “Find out what works best for you, and breed the kind of cows you want.” The Cessna family has certainly found what works for them, and it is a brand of success that leaves one impressed by the attention to minute details as well as the large scope of the Cessna Brothers operation. u

SUMMER 2022 PA Holstein Profiles 15
Meet Our PA Junior Holstein Officers Caroline Arrowsmith- President
I grew up living and working on my family’s Jersey dairy farm in Peach Bottom, PA. When I turned nine I became involved in Holstein activities such as dairy bowl, dairy jeopardy, and public speaking. I attended my first National Holstein Convention in 2015, competing in Junior Dairy Jeopardy and placed first! Since then I have attended National Holstein Convention almost every year to compete in contests. Some highlights include winning Junior Dairy Bowl and placing fourth in Senior Dairy Bowl, as well as winning the sportsmanship award with my team. I was also a Young Distinguished Junior Member at the National level. Since purchasing my first Holstein in 2018, I have accumulated a small herd that I own alongside my Jerseys. I currently attend Penn State University majoring in Animal Science with a minor in Agribusiness Management. I am involved in both Alpha Zeta, where I serve as Caterer and Chronicler, and the Dairy Science Club, where I am Social Media Chair. In the past, I have interned with Cargill Animal Nutrition and Pine Tree Dairy in Marshallville, OH. There, I was involved with many of the day-to-day operations of the farm; some of my main focuses were fresh cow management, calf care, and the genetics program. My time with their genetics program opened my eyes to the world of genomics and allowed me to be involved with many IVF and mating decisions. This summer, I will be interning with the Center for Dairy Excellence as a Communication and Education intern! In the future, I hope to continue to be involved in the dairy industry through my career, possibly working in the field of calf and heifer nutrition.

Craftsman Corner
Cassie Rassau makes custom order cups, thermal mugs, tumblers, keychains, and earrings, generally with an agricultural theme. She lives in Enon Valley, PA with her husband Nate. Cassie and Nate farm with her parents Dennis and Betsy Musser. They milk 150 head of Holsteins, Guernseys, Jerseys, Red & Whites, and Milking Shorthorns. Cassie is President of the Beaver-Lawrence Holstein Club, PA Guernsey Youth Coordinator, and a volunteer at the All-American Dairy Show. 1.) What got you interested in your craft at the beginning? Who doesn’t love a beautiful glitter cup?!? I started making tumblers as something to do when things were slow.
2.) How did you get started?
I started C Cup Creations in September of 2018. I made three cups to see what it entailed. Less than two weeks later, a family friend made me a cup turner and I was taking orders for Christmas gifts. I started out making custom tumblers and have recently added some keychains and earrings to the mix. And I ship my work to wherever my clients need it to go!
4.) What keeps you doing this and how can people find you?
I love making awards for youth and seeing my cups in real life! I was able to make collegiate judging awards for the American Guernsey Association a few years ago, it was really neat to see my creations ending up all over the country. You can find C Cup Creations on Facebook and Instagram. The best way to contact me is via Facebook.
3.) What is your connection/history with dairy/ag?
I’m a dairy farmer. I grew up on a dairy farm and was in 4-H, Dairy Princess (I was the Lawrence County Dairy Princess in 2011), Pennsylvania Junior Holstein Association, and Pennsylvania Junior Guernsey Breeders Association. I still show open at local, state, and national shows. My husband and I farm with my parents. We milk 150 cows, raise all our heifers, and grow our own crops. Craftsman Corner is designed to draw attention to those in ag that offer a unique set of skills or service. If you know a craftman you’d like to see featured, please contact the editor.

PA Holstein Adult Convention Highlights Distinguished Supporter Award- Jack Remsburg, Jr.
The Distinguished Supporter Award is presented annually to recognize an individual or company, not a dairy farmer/producer, who through their work has supported and enhanced the work and goals of the Pennsylvania Holstein Association. This year’s award winner spent hours and miles traveling across Pennsylvania and beyond, in a career spanning 50 years. Jack Remsburg, Jr. captured dairy cattle with his camera lens, resulting in tens of thousands of professional cattle photographs. After graduating from the University of Maryland in 1951, Jack began taking pictures in 1953. Using his knowledge of dairy cattle, he helped neighboring dairy breeders and exhibitors take pictures of sale consignments and show winners. As word spread, he became busier, traveling up and down the East Coast and eventually overseas. He photographed bulls for the breeding cooperatives, developing prints in his basement darkroom. Many famous cattle had Pennsylvania connections, including Osborndale Ivanhoe, Plushanski Chief Faith, Arlinda Jet Stream, Northcroft Ela Elevation, and more. Jack served as the Maryland State Fair official photographer for 25 years and as the All-American Dairy Show official photographer for 33 years. He served on county and state Holstein boards, and in 2019 was honored with the Dairy Shrine Pioneer Award at World Dairy Expo.
John Fisher, grandson of Jack, with David Lentz
Distinguished Young Breeder- Rosie Zaginaylo This year’s winner of the Distinguished Young Breeder award is Rosalie Zaginaylo of Four-Zag Holsteins in Berwick, PA. Rosie Z. (as people refer to her since most people struggle with pronouncing her name) has served the Association in numerous leadership roles over the past seven years. These roles include the Executive Committee, finance committee, National Convention planning committee, state convention planning committee, and the transition team that helped this Association plan for life after Ken Raney’s retirement. Fairwood Chairman Beryl and North-Rush Lou Gaye are the two cows that had the greatest influence in her herd that she owns and operates with her family. Beryl was purchased by her parents from a neighbor and mentor, William Fairchild in 1987. Beryl was one of three heifers that introduced 100%RHA Holstein cattle to Tri-John Holsteins, her parents’ prefix. From Beryl’s line came Tri-John Macys Parade, the first bred and owned excellent cow on the family farm. Rosie’s second most influential cow, North-Rush Lou Gaye was purchased on a production sale PHA managed for another of Rosie’s mentors, Marlin and Karen Shultz of Danville. Gaye hailed from the Shultz’s best cow family. She eventually scored EX-90 for Rosie. Rosie described her importance, “Gaye was an important purchase for us because her granddaughter is our second Bred and Owned Excellent cow, Tri-John Perky Gorgeous, who recently scored EX-91. Gorgeous is one of our oldest cows and we are milking two of her daughters and she is pregnant again. She is our ideal cow in the barn, because she has an excellent set of feet and legs, along with the dairy character for a strong cow. Plus, her personality is second-to-none.” In 2015, Rosie took over the herd from her parents and collectively they built a new dairy facility centered on cow comfort. This wellventilated compost pack barn with a step-up parlor has allowed the Zaginaylos to expand from 30 cows to 120 cows over the past six plus years. Those first cows that moved into the new barn from their old tie-stall barn increased in milk production almost overnight, and have an increased longevity. As Rosie expanded the herd she brought in a significant portion of Marlin and Karen Shultz’s herd. With this deal, she also received more coaching from Marlin, a fun-loving masterful breeder. Four-Zag Holsteins is a Holstein Complete herd that uses Tri-Star at the Premier level, Tag ID along with EASY ID to register calves. Currently the herd BAA is 106.6 with 3 Excellent & 26 Very Good cows; they had a 105BAA just 5 years ago. In that span, she increased the herd average from 20,506 to 21,803. Rosie has aggressive goals for her herd like a 110 BAA, 2400 for her heifers average GTPI, and 23,000 RHA. Rosie is using high GTPI bulls with a minimum of 2600 GTPI. She is focusing on building a strong cow with good health traits, along with positive net merit, solid functional type, feet and legs and udders, especially in the bedded pack facility. Off the farm she works as a consultant support analyst. She keeps up with the news about what is going on in the Dairy Industry and Agriculture as a whole. In her application Rosie says, “I try to be a resource for my dairy farmer friends and neighbors that might not understand programs, or other issues that come up in the industry. For example, when the changes were made to the Dairy Margin Coverage Program and recently with the added Supplemental DMC. I researched the program and filled out the applications early on so I could explain the process to others and what items were needed. I also researched the Dairy Revenue Protection program to use for my operation and offer advice to others. I have a strong financial background and have offered advice to other farmers that might have questions about different capital purchase decisions, or budgeting concerns. I also forward contract milk for my own farm with my cooperative, so I have also helped others understand that process.” Be sure to check out the PA Holstein Breeders Forum “Holstein Genetics 2022 and Beyond-A Breeder’s Vision” on the PA Holstein Association Facebook page!

Pennsylvania Holstein Hall of Fame- Denny Wolff
Denny Wolff, of Millville, has been the owner and operator of PenCol Farms since 1970. The Pen-Col prefix has bred 380 award winners, including Dams of Merit, Gold Medal Dams, Gold Medal Sires, and animals on the Locater and Elite Cows lists and 60 Excellent cows and bulls. PenCol had several sales on the farm through the years, offering top quality cattle and genetics. Cattle were sold to friends and local neighbors, across the United States, and more than 30 countries worldwide. In 1984, JonLin Jerry Myra, along with six heifer calves, was sold for $255,000 at the National Holstein Convention Sale. Denny served as the chairman of the PHA Sale Committee from 19811983, and Chairman for the National Holstein Convention held in 1995 in Pittsburgh. He has been a member of the Columbia-Luzerne Holstein Association since 1970 and served several terms on the PHA Board of Directors. From 2003-2009 Denny served as Pennsylvania Secretary of Denny Wolff with children L-R Tim, Elizabeth, and Corey Agriculture, helping implement the “PA Preferred” labeling program to promote the state’s agricultural products; he also helped establish the Center for Dairy Excellence. Denny has also served boards ranging from Agway Insurance and the North Central Bank and Pennsylvania Gaming Control. He served on the Agricultural Technical Committee of the World Trade Organization and has received the Distinguished Service Award and the Barn Raiser Award from the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau, as well as the Holstein USA Distinguished Leadership Award in 2009. He is also the founder, president and chairman of Camp Victory, A Special Camp for Special Kids, for the last 34 years. Camp Victory is a summer camp for chronically ill children and their families. Since the first campers arrived in 1994, Camp Victory has hosted more than 30,000 overnight campers and counselors. One of the nominators for this award said this about Denny: “While Denny Wolff is often dressed in a suit and tie and seen traveling to meetings throughout Pennsylvania and across the United States, he’s a constant advocate for agriculture. He can still put on his coveralls and head to the barn to work with great Holstein cows and bulls. There is no denying that Denny is an entrepreneur, a smart businessman, dairyman, and friend to farmers near and far.”
Pennsylvania Holstein Pioneer Award- Ellis Rearick The Pennsylvania Holstein Association Pioneer Memorial Award is awarded posthumously to recognize an individual, not already in the Pennsylvania Holstein Association Hall of Fame, for their contributions to the Holstein industry at the local, state, and national levels. This year’s Pioneer Memorial Award winner was Ellis Rearick, of Gladell Farm in Millheim, a dairy farmer, Holstein breeder, and charter member who helped start the Centre County Holstein Association, becoming one of the club’s first presidents. Farming was in his blood and until his death in 1958, he strived to improve his Holstein herd to be the best they could be. With his wife Gladys, Ellis started their dairy herd in 1940. When they were first married, he worked on his father-in-law’s farm, buying the farm in 1943. The next year, a fire destroyed all the farm buildings except the house. Despite only $1,000 of insurance on the barn, they set to work rebuilding a modern dairy farm complete with 30 stalls, calf and maternity pens, granary and milk house. A bull barn was added in 1950. Penn State professors often brought students to the farm to see the progressive dairy; and Ellis would apply new research information to achieve high results on the farm. Jim and Kristen Houser, grandson and great granddaughter of Ellis Rearick During this time, Ellis developed a good eye for breeding. He began to AI the herd, using his own herd sires. In 1942, the herd was the highest Holstein herd for butterfat on 2x milking with 523.6 pounds of fat and 15,054 pounds of milk. . For a 14-year period, the herd averaged 14,000 pounds of milk and 470 pounds of butterfat. Ellis had an eye for good Holstein cattle and his homebred animals were class winners and champions at the Centre County Grange Fair, the first PA state 4-H Show, Pennsylvania Farm Show, and the Central District Holstein Show. He served in several different capacities on the local and state Holstein boards, and used his knowledge and ideas to help start the Mifflin County Holstein Association. The Gladell herd earned the Progressive Breeders Award in 1956, 1957 and 1958.
