Charitee Seebecker

While I usually like to keep things light-hearted and fun, my heart has been heavy. Over the past few weeks, I have talked to different family friends about the cancellation of State Fair and other shows. For some, it is their livelihood as they are primarily a show string herd. Others, can continue and act like “nothing has happened.” Some pretty hard conversations were had, and I would have never thought at this point I would have to even have them.

Financially, it has been a whirlwind of emotions for many during this uncertain time.

However, one conversation stuck out to me with one youth exhibitor and their family. With proudness they said, “We’ll feed these cows.

We’ll milk them, care for them, and love them for as long as we can. It’s not just about being able to show. It is about being able to share our passion with each generation of our family, teach them hard work, and show them that when the going gets tough, you keep on pushing.”

That stuck with me as we tend to lose sight of the bigger picture sometimes in the mix of all the chaos around us. Many who have grown up on a farm constantly tell others that this is the best way to raise a kid because of the relationships, work ethic, dedication, and so much more that they learn. Now more than ever, we need to continue to show that is the truth. Going to the barn and doing chores is worth the bills and sometimes headaches it creates when you love what you do. One day you’ll get to an age where you are no longer able to do these things and you’ll miss every second of it.

Breeder Profile

District 6: Haag Dairy, LLC

by Allyson Stanek, WHA Summer Intern Haag Dairy LLC in Dane has changed quite a bit from where it originally started. However, one thing has always remained the same: the love and passion for dairy cattle, especially the Registered Holstein.

The dairy operation is family owned and primarily operated by John and his son Josh, along with the help of John’s wife, Julie, Josh’s wife, Melissa, and their daughters, Kayleigh (6) and Kelsey (4).

John and Josh both received degrees from the University of Wisconsin-Madison Farm Industry Short Course and Melissa is a full-time veterinarian with Lodi Veterinary Care. Melissa is also the farm’s part-time vet and spends her days off helping with chores and registering animals. Julie is a teaching assistant at the Lodi Primary School where she gets to see her granddaughter Kayleigh every day. She also keeps track of all the records and bookkeeping on the farm.

The farm started with John renting a farm in Back: John and Julie Haag; front: Kayleigh, Josh, Melissa and Kelsey Haag teat placement and good quality udders. Cows are mated to bulls Waunakee where he milked 30 cows in a wooden stanchion barn. Their current operation was purchased in 1994, with good health traits, adequate milk, with an emphasis on milking 80 cows in a herringbone parlor. The dairy became an LLC functional type. John and Josh perform all the artificial insemination on the farm utilizing semen from both Select Sires and ABS. in 2004 when Josh partnered with his father.

About 30 to 40 percent of the milking herd is bred to beef bulls In recent years, the Haag family decided to put in two DeLaval VMS robots which was completed on August 13, 2018. Acclimating specifically selected for a beef/dairy terminal cross and all their to a whole new system and working through the kinks was not easy, heifers are bred to sexed semen or are embryo recipients. They but they are very pleased with the change and the time the robots started off doing a lot of flushing early on, but now that Lodi Vet is have allowed them to really focus on their cows. Before, they were offering IVF, that is what they focus on.

When it comes to their Registered Holsteins, the Haags strive milking three times a day and it was hard to find help to relief milk.

Now, with the robots, the labor has been cut drastically and the cows for well-balanced cows that make milk and will have longevity in can essentially milk themselves. John says, “Adding in the technology the milking herd. They started registering some homebred cows in 2005, picking out ten herd favorites to begin with, foundation herd was a huge difference and it took a lot of getting favorites, JJ-Haag Brass Jazzy EX-90, JJ-Haag Abe Buddy EX-90, and used to, but it gives us time to do more with the JJ-Haag JC Tillie VG-88.

She has produced over 20 daughters and has over 50 offspring tracing back to her and is a cow family that produces some of their show calves.

Everyone said that any cow from the Alexa family is a herd favorite.

Another influential cow is Ragnar Goldsun Shanelle EX-91.

Shanelle was purchased at the Badger Dairy Club sale in 2013 and is a granddaughter of Elm-Lawn-G Linjet Shawna EX-93 GMD DOM. She has over 30 offspring at the farm and generates calves with show ring style that turn into good, solid cows.

As Josh and Melissa’s girls become more involved in the farm, the prefix for the registered cattle is slowly changing to Pond N Pines.

Each girl was given a registered calf at the age of two to slowly build their own herds. Kayleigh’s calf was JJ-Haag Defiant Ariel. Ariel is going through the robots on average five times a day. JJ-Haag Ladd P Moon-Red was Kelsey’s calf. Both calves are now milking and are herd favorites.

The Haags are not only known for their Registered Holsteins, but Guernseys as well. When looking to add color and a different breed to the herd, they decided that Guernseys would be the perfect fit.

Melissa’s grandpa had Guernseys, so she knew a little bit about the breed already. The first Guernsey on the farm was a gift from Josh to Melissa for graduating vet school. Melissa bought a Guernsey calf, Faria Farms Mozier Mentor Nona, at World Dairy Expo.

Nona’s daughter, Pond N Pines Crunch Nutella placed third junior at the World Dairy Expo and was Nominated Junior All-American Winter Calf in 2017. Nutella is the dam to Pond N Pines Beau Nutter Butter, who has been to three shows and was named Junior Champion of the Junior Show and Open Shows at each one. She

was also the Supreme Heifer at the Southwest Wisconsin High Protein Show. Nutter Butter is the 2020 All-Wisconsin Guernsey Summer Yearling and they plan to start her on an IVF program soon.

Something the Haag family is most proud of is the progress they have made over the years.

From stanchions, to a parlor, and now robots with modernized heifer facilities, the Haags have made many improvements that have helped them be successful.

They continue to challenge themselves and are always making genetic improvements. Top: Kelsey and Kayleigh love being A source of pride for the farm involved on the farm and helping to feed is selling approximately 50- calves. Above: Kayleigh with Nutter Butter 60 Registered Holstein dairy getting ready to show in the Lodi Agricultural Fair Little Britches milking replacements in the monthly cattle sales held at the Great Northern Sales Arena. Good genetics and a solid breeding program provide them with extra milking animals each month. The Haags struggle to let some of their good cows go, but space is limited with the robotic milking system and they are hopeful that their cows go on to perform well for the new owners.

The Haags are very involved within their community through Professional Dairy Producers of Wisconsin (PDPW), Dane County Dairy Promotion, FFA Alumni, and being on the local fire department. Another aspect of the farm they are proud of is the youth education they provide to the surrounding communities. The Haags believe that transparency in the industry is important, which is why they host school tours, breakfast on the farm, and created a visual room when putting the robots in.

John says, “it is important to make it possible for young kids to experience this firsthand and see if they have a passion for agriculture.

We want to be a part of that opportunity.”

They also have a couple local kids show their animals and Melissa has helped to start a “little britches” show at the Lodi Agricultural Fair.

The Haags have a love and passion for dairy cattle along with educating the youth and helping their community in many ways.

While they do not plan to get any larger, they will continue to breed quality cows for many years to come.

Kurt and Sarah Loehr honored as Holstein Association USA’s 2020 Distinguished Young Holstein Breeders Kurt and Sarah Loehr of Eden are the winners of the 2020 Distinguished Young Holstein Breeder award.

The Loehrs’ cattle are registered under the ForestRidge prefix.

The prefix had humble beginnings in 2003, just before the couple met and started farming together.

Sarah has strong Registered Holstein roots as National DJM semi-finalist and brought Kurt along on a journey that has established them as a well-respected name in Registered Holstein circles.

Kurt and Sarah married in 2010 and took over the farm a year later. Today, the Loehr’s 92-cow herd has a rolling herd average of 23,289 pounds of milk, 929 pounds of fat, and 738 pounds of protein. Kurt and Sarah’s herd currently consists of 21 Excellent and 46 Very Good cows with an impressive 110.7 BAA, making them one of the top 100 BAA herds in the country. With a passion for the show ring, they also have claimed three All-American nominations, and five Red and White All-American nominations.

Kurt and Sarah breed for high type with good feet and legs, excellent udders, dairy strength and wide Photo by Joseph Opsal Photography rumps.

Hello again, it has been awhile since you’ve heard from me. I hope everyone has enjoyed their summer. Hannah and I were busy traveling around Wisconsin for district show season and we had a great time at each show. Each district had a phenomenal turnout and exceptional quality.

We were also very fortunate to attend Fond du Lac’s Futurity Show.

Fond du Lac sure does know how to put on a spectacular event.

Taking a break from district shows, I was able to attend the “Ready, Set, Show!” clinic put on by the JACs along with Katie Coyne from Mill Wheel Showing Clinic. This clinic brought me to Neillsville for the day. Katie did a wonderful job with the clinic; I even learned a few new tips.

oslind’s oyalty eview

Other than district shows, a futurity show, and a clinic I have spent my time with my family or at the creamery. Moving towards the end of August, I am very excited to be traveling to West Bend for the Wisconsin Summer Championship Show!

I am looking forward to seeing everyone again along with their four-legged family members.

After the State Show I will be starting school again. I am excited to be a sophomore at UW-River Falls. Even though classes are a little different this year, I am still optimistic about the school year. I hope everyone stays safe and healthy! Until next time!

Breeding philosphies: The breeding goal for the majority of our herd is to maximize pounds of fat and protein production efficiently from cows that are long-lived and trouble-free. Traits we emphasize include fat pounds, protein pounds, DPR, SCC, calving ease and udder composite.

We breed a small percentage of the herd for more appealing “show type.” We will compromise production traits in selecting sires for this group but still try to include important health traits because we need these individuals to become profitable members of our lactating herd. We strive to breed profitable cows that we love to milk!

Management Goals: We strive to manage a healthy, profitable herd with producing 7.5 or more combined pounds of fat & protein per cow per day while maximizing milk quality. We also work toward creating a rewarding and enjoyable work environment for our team that assists us daily in reaching these goals.

2019 Herds of Excellence LARGE HERDS (500+ herd size division) Bomaz Farms - The Zwald Family The Zwald Family, Hammond 98.7% Homebred Average Age-Adjusted Classification Score - 85.1 Milk: 31,870 Fat: 1,310 Protein: 1,026 Three-Year Honoree

Bob and Kay Zwald, Bomaz Inc. near Hammond, Wis., have grown their Registered Holstein operation throughout two generations to be a herd that excels in both production and type. The couple’s two youngest children and their spouses all work on the farm. Bob’s proudest moment, he says, is being able to work alongside his family.

“I think faith and family are the biggest things, and beyond that, success will come,” Bob says.

As the operation has grown, they’ve placed a larger emphasis on the herd’s genetic potential. The Zwald family stresses high production, good udders and sound feet and legs when making breeding decisions.

Technology is aiding in the process, too. Bomaz Inc. is able to identify and implement genetic progress faster than ever before with the adoption of genomics. They test every animal born on the farm, Bob says. Using that information, they flush the top five percent of their cows to seize genetic progress for both the female and male sides of pedigrees. This allows for greater improvements with each generation.

“We don’t have a goal to necessarily have the highest classifying cow or the best show cow,” Bob says. “We breed for the working ladies with the goal that they can give 100 pounds of milk every day.”

The Zwald family’s first cow to have a big genetic impact was Bomaz Valiant Daphne VG-88 GMD DOM. Her offspring are trouble-free and produce high levels of milk, Bob says.

Staying rooted in their quality focus will ensure the next generation can continue the family’s dairy farming legacy.

Siemers Holsteins - The Siemers Family The Siemers Family, Newton 98.3% Homebred Average Age-Adjusted Classification Score - 85.1 Milk: 36,888 Fat: 1,508 Protein: 1,098 Four-Year Honoree

The Siemers family strives for excellence with unwavering focus on being good cow people, with a keen eye for genetics and management. Currently the family’s fourth, fifth and sixth generation are working alongside each other on the farm — fully committed to excellence. Their mission is simple: to make every generation better than the last.

Established in 1908 with only a handful of cows, Registered Holsteins have been the cornerstone of the Siemers’ herd and key to their success, both in and out of the showring. Dan Siemers says working with the right people has been instrumental to their efforts to get cows to milk to their maximum potential. The Siemers have bred more than 1,000 Very Good and Excellent cows; and have achieved 28 Progressive Genetic Herd honors.

“We enjoy the genomic side of the business,” Dan says. “My advice to other breeders is to find the type of cow that you like and make sure she can be profitable. Figure out what niche you want to shoot for, and make sure that it’s going to make the right kind of cows that can do the right things for you.”

The Siemers breed for a wide spectrum of categories: high index cattle, show cattle, outstanding registered commercial cows, and red and white Holsteins. They may focus on different avenues when making breeding decisions, but Dan says their best cows are also their best production cows. They look for strength in the cow’s conformation, so their herd will give more milk for longer periods of time. Cows are bred almost exclusively to high genomic bulls.

Dan says building a balanced cow will create problem-free cattle that will pay dairymen dividends for years to come.

MEDIUM HERDS (100 to 499 herd size division) Koepke Farms, Inc. - The Koepke Family The Koepke Family, Oconomowoc 100% Homebred Average Age-Adjusted Classification Score - 84.4 Milk: 34,021 Fat: 1,391 Protein: 1,012 Three-Year Honoree

Established in 1875, Koepke Farms Inc. believes strongly in telling the story of their 350-cow farm, which is rooted in being stewards of the land. The dairy was one of the area’s first to adopt a completely no-till cultivation system on their 1,250 acres where they grow soybeans, corn and alfalfa.

Dave Koepke says the key to the farm’s longevity is having new generations interested in carrying on the dairy tradition.

The ideal cow at Koepke Farms is medium height, powerful enough to withstand stress, has a good appetite and breeds back quickly, Dave says. The ideal cow is one that you don’t know she’s there.

“I love breeding, selecting bulls and all that,” Dave says. “That’s my forte. My philosophy has changed over the years — it’s grown.”

The number one breeding priority for Dave is Cheese Merit Dollars (CM$). Ten percent of their milk is bottled, while the rest is used for cheese or other dairy products. He then pays attention to health traits — low somatic cell, daughter pregnancy rate and calving stillbirth percentage.

This commitment to genetic excellence has paid off. Koepke Farms has had five cows with more than 300,000 pounds of lifetime milk and 16 Excellent cows, 110 Very Good cows and 140 Good Plus cows. The herd runs an average of four percent fat, which works well for the family’s growing cheese business.

August/September 2020 – Wisconsin Holstein News – 31

The Koepke family introduced LaBelle, their farmhouse smoked cheese crafted only with the premium milk from their farm. They believe it is important that urban consumers connect with where their food comes from, and that dairy farmers have a positive story to share with them.

SMALL HERDS (10 to 99 herd size division) B-Long Holsteins - Bruce, Brenda and Bret Long Bruce, Brenda and Bret Long, New London 100% Homebred Average Age-Adjusted Classification Score - 87.7 Milk: 36,330 Fat: 1,407 Protein: 1,136 Nine-Year Honoree

For B-Long Holsteins, building deep-pedigreed cow families is a goal and strategy for continuous improvement with each generation.

Bruce and Brenda Long started dairying near New London, Wisconsin, about 30 years ago. After working on their parents’ farms following their graduation from the University of Wisconsin-River Falls, they decided to venture out on their own.

Cow families are what drive herd decisions at B-Long Holsteins.

Many of the herd’s foundation animals originated from Bruce’s childhood herd. Their current herd can be traced back to two calves Bruce purchased when he was young — Belleview L-H Mars Happy VG-82 GMD and Belleview Barrett Ibis VG-82. They place a lot of breeding emphasis on cow longevity, high-volume production and the ability to transmit to their offspring. They look for bulls that sire large, powerful animals with big frames, plenty of strength and good components.

“We believe in cows that have a lot of strength, depth and width throughout, emphasizing the udders and legs,” Bruce says. “As component prices improved, we decided we needed to improve our components a little more. As time went on, we put more emphasis on type.”

The decision to focus more on components and type was driven by economics, Bruce says. That shift in breeding emphasis was successful. When they first started, their rolling herd average (RHA) was 18,000 pounds of milk and they had a BAA of 102.

“Our cows average 100 pounds of milk per cow per day,” Bruce says. “Genetics has really improved a lot with udders compared to what it was 30 or 40 years ago. It’s amazing.”

Bruce and Brenda have passed on their passion for Registered Holsteins to their sons, Bret, Bryant and Brandon. Bret continues to work alongside his parents on the dairy farm.

Dan and Julie Vandertie Dan & Julie Vandertie, Brussels 100% Homebred Average Age-Adjusted Classification Score - 88.8 Milk: 34,525 Fat: 1,377 Protein: 1,055 Four-Year Honoree

Fifth-generation farmer Dan Vandertie says that as a child, he remembers anxiously awaiting the Red Book from Holstein 32 – Wisconsin Holstein News – August/September 2020

Association USA to arrive on his doorstep. His enthusiasm for raising and breeding top-quality Registered Holstein genetics has stayed with him his entire life. Today, he and his wife, Julie, operate Doorco Holsteins in Door County, Wis. They purchased the dairy farm from his parents in 1987.

“Our family believes that registering our Holsteins and building on the pedigrees adds value,” Dan says. “We are always trying to improve the herd, not just in milk production, but every aspect.”

When making breeding decisions, Dan says he uses genomics as a base point. Red Book Plus remains his program of choice when it comes to researching genetic information. It gives him a clearer picture of how the sires will perform, Dan says, leading to greater consistency within the herd. Dan says he likes building cow families.

He looks for long-lasting animals, cows that have a will to milk and strong frames, including wide front ends, when making breeding decisions.

In addition to assessing pedigrees, Dan selects cows with wide fronts, because those animals can consume greater amounts of feed.

He attributes their herd’s unwavering performance to good feed and cow comfort.

An offspring of those strong cow families is Doorco Buckeye Hailey. Now 12 years old, Hailey was classified in 2019 as EX-94 4E. Their commitment to excellence and quality genetics has been well recognized. Doorco Holsteins has been honored for 45 years

by Holstein Association USA’s Progressive Breeders’ Registry. The family looks forward to what’s on the horizon for their Registered Holstein herd.

Ever-Green-View Holsteins - The Kestell Family The Kestell Family, Waldo 96.8% Homebred Average Age-Adjusted Classification Score - 88.2 Milk: 38,924 Fat: 1,516 Protein: 1,175 10-Year Honoree

Tom and Gin Kestell started farming with little more than a dream back in 1971. Today, Ever-Green-View Holsteins has grown into one of the world’s highest producing herds.

Acknowledged internationally for their superior Registered Holstein genetics, this ten-year Herd of Excellence honoree has dedicated more than 45 years to breeding excellent dairy cattle.

Staying in tune with the world market and using genomic young sires has allowed them to be successful around the globe. Threequarters of the farm’s income comes from exporting genetics, Tom says.

“There are always opportunities in exporting genetics,” Tom says.

“But you have to be invested — you have to go and meet the people you’re selling to. You have to see their situation and help them out.”

Since the farm’s inception, they have exported more than 8,900 embryos to countries including Russia, China, Germany, Brazil, Japan, India and the Netherlands. Embryos and live cattle from Ever- Green-View Farms have been sold to 40 countries.

“We create quality genetics so we always have a product to sell,” Tom says. “We try to teach them the skills it takes to translate good genetics into production.”

The Kestell family earned the 2018 Elite Breeder Award from

Holstein Association USA. Many of their cows have been recognized with state and national records for milk, fat, and protein. Ever-Green-View Farms is also home to the first dam and daughter duo to receive national milk production record status — Ever-Green-View My 1326-ET EX-92 2E GMD and Ever-Green-View My Gold-ET EX-93.

Tom and Gin are in partnership with their youngest son, Chris, and his wife, Jennifer.

Hill-Ton Holsteins - The Hamilton Family The Hamilton Family, Cuba City 95.8% Homebred Average Age-Adjusted Classification Score - 87.0 Milk: 36,229 Fat: 1,361 Protein: 1, Three-Year Honoree

At Hill-Ton Holsteins near Cuba City, Wis., commitment to detail has brought much success to the family dairy. Owned by John and Evie Hamilton, and their son, Charlie, Hill-Ton Holsteins has received the Progressive Breeders’ Registry award for 26 consecutive years.

They believe one of the most important aspects of Registered Holsteins is the database where they access performance information and trace back pedigrees.

When making breeding decisions, John says they pay close attention to all the fine details. They use classification data and a cow’s linear breakdown to make sire selections. Low somatic cell count is a priority, while choosing for type first and production second.

The Hamilton family raises all their own replacement heifers and sells bull calves. John says that in the tough dairy economy, raising Registered Holsteins is a benefit. They offer an added advantage and market for selling genetics.

Hill-Ton Holsteins boasts a Breed Age Average of 109 percent, with six Excellent cows residing in the herd, and they’ve bred more than 70 Excellent cows.

“I think what makes the Registered Holstein cow the perfect cow is that we, as breeders, can decide what we want to work with and then choose how we manage with her,” Charlie says. “Find a niche

that I want to work in and develop that to bring more value to my operation.”

The Hamilton family motto has always been, “live to dream, work to succeed.” Now John and Evie are looking forward to passing HillTon Holsteins onto the next generation.

Hilrose Dairy - The Brantmeier Family The Brantmeier Family, Sherwood 100% Homebred Average Age-Adjusted Classification Score - 87.0 Milk: 35,186 Fat: 1,349 Protein: 1,062 Nine-Year Honoree

Lifelong dairyman Joe Brantmeier has a passion for developing genetics and high-performing cows. His parents, Hilard and Rose Mary, established Hilrose Dairy near Sherwood, Wis., and later purchased the first Registered Holstein calf in 1956. Since then, they’ve aspired to improve with each calf crop and generation. Today, the operation is a partnership between Joe and his wife, Chris, and their sons, Andy and Jeff. The fourth, fifth and sixth generations work alongside each other and continue the family tradition.

“For us, quality outweighs quantity and that is how we built our herd,” Joe says.

The Brantmeier family has concentrated on high-type animals with high components and longevity. Their perfect cow would be high scoring with more than four percent fat and three percent protein, in addition to great legs, excellent udders and a strong ability to transmit.

They focus on a new calf ’s potential with each mating, with the hope that each animal could become a future foundation cow.

“To me, that’s still the most exciting part of the dairy, seeing new calves being born,” Joe says. “You have to be optimistic to be a farmer.”

A transformational cow for their family was Hilrose Advent AnnaRed EX-94, the 2018 Wisconsin Cow of the Year.

A commitment to quality has been key for their family, Joe explains.

“You need to focus on the best, work with the best, and market from the best,” he says. “Besides selling high-quality milk, we focus on the niche markets, such as selling embryos, show calves or fresh two-year-olds throughout the year.”

Additionally, Drawing & Painting and Crafts has been combined into one contest with additional divisions - junior, senior and Jr Convention Princess workshop. More details to come on the Princess workshop!

Due to low participation over the last few years, we have eliminated the scrapbook and banner contests. We do encourage groups to bring finished scrapbooks to the Activity Room to display their yearly activities.

Dairy Bowl Contest Deadlines & Resources The Dairy Bowl contests will be held on Tuesday, December 29 at the Junior Convention. There will be no seating exam for this year’s contest and brackets will be filled by a random draw.

The deadline to enter a team for the 2021 Dairy Bowl contest will be NOVEMBER 15. Entries must be IN OFFICE by this date with paid fees or entry fees will double. The fee to enter teams is $10 for Rookie division and $30 for Junior and Senior divisions. Remember, FEES WILL DOUBLE if the entry form and paid fees are not IN OFFICE by November 15.

All potential team member names must be submitted by the November 15 deadline. This allows us to check memberships ahead of the convention and let coaches know who needs to pay membership fees prior to the convention. Please remember, official teams do not need to be named until registration at the Junior Convention. Your entry should include all possible team members, and there is no limit to the number of juniors that can be included on the list. Names must be included with the entry form to make a completed entry. All coaches and participating team members must be members of the Wisconsin Holstein Association.

Counties that have juniors wishing to participate on a Wisconsin team must submit their $5.00 entry fee by November 15. This has been put in place so we have a more exact number of teams prior to convention.

August/September 2020 – Wisconsin Holstein News – 35

Ocean-View Sterling Silver named 2019 Star of the Breed Ocean-View Sterling Silver, bred and owned by Ocean View Genetics, Daryl and Pam Nunes in Deerfield, has earned the honor of being named Holstein Association USA’s 2019 Star of the Breed.

The Star of the Breed recognition is given annually to one Registered Holstein cow that exemplifies outstanding milk production combined with exceptional conformation. To be eligible for the Star of the Breed award, a cow must place in the top five in her class at a National Show, be in a herd enrolled in the TriStar program and have an official classification score. Once eligible cows are determined, a calculation is done using the cows’ combined mature equivalent fat and protein and age adjusted classification score to determine the top cow.

Silver is classified Excellent-94 2E, and completed her most recent 365-day lactation, calving in at five years and seven months of age with 58,330 pounds of milk, 2,419 pounds of fat and 1,640 pounds of protein. She was the fourth place 150,000-Pound Lifetime Production Cow at the 2019 Midwest Spring National Holstein Show.

Sired by Regancrest S Braxton-ET, Silver traces back to one of the foundation cows of Ocean View, Ideograph Burkgov Steps. She completes 13 generations of Excellent and Very Good dams, with her nearest three dams being Ocean-View Zenith Sassy EX-90,

Ocean-View Starlet Sassy EX-93 3E and Ocean-View Benefit Sassy EX-91 2E. According to Daryl and Pam Nunes, Silver represents and pays tribute to the breeding philosophy that Daryl’s father, Marvin, started at Ocean View. Namely, silky, dairy cows that work hard and possess outstanding individuality with depth of pedigree.
