County Holstein Board and was influential in starting the Dairy Youth

From your President Marci Walker Dear Wisconsin Holstein Members, As the dairy days of summer wind down, I’d like to thank our staff: Nicole Smith - Summer Intern, Laura Wackershauser - Wisconsin Holstein News Editor, Sharon Maffei - Membership Coordinator, Ashley Yager - Public Relations Associate and Larry Nelson - Executive Director.

They have done a super job transitioning as a new team and providing great events, communications and assistance to our membership. I also want to thank the JACs and Princesses for all of their miles, smiles, work and efforts this summer, you are a great team. Thank you!

The Finance Committee met just recently and are happy to report that we are very financially stable half way through our financial year.

We've had some great district shows this summer with 1,352 head shown and a super competitive state show with 222 head shown, which is up about 20 head from last year and the most cows we’ve had go through the ring in five years. This summer we board members we’ve been approached with a few different ideas for future state show locations of which we will be discussing in our September board meeting. The

summer shows were topped off with a very well organized and elegant Futurity at the Wisconsin State Fair that shares a peek of our lives as breeders with the public.

Thank you to every one of the Siemers family members for hosting our State Holstein Picnic. We appreciate your family and staff going above and beyond in preparation and thoughtfulness to ensure we had top notch hospitality, phenomenal classes to judge and fun!

The September chance to win an Oh My Cow Pie Trivia; How many Junior All-American Nominations did Wisconsin have in 1990?

All correct entries received via email by August 15 will be considered for a random drawing of an Oh My Cow Pie. Our Wisconsin Holstein Association membership is about learning new ideas, sharing what‘s worked and what hasn’t worked as Holstein breeders, dairy bowl competitions, judging, managerial project animals, ag Olympics, showing, merchandising, the sales arena, skills development and most importantly camaraderie. As one Junior Holstein member stated during our time of grieving for John Klossner, “I think today is the day we are realizing how close, strong, and united the young agriculturalists in Wisconsin are.” Thank you John for the positive Holstein hoof prints you’ve left with us.

National Holstein Convention 2013 Holstein Association USA Holds 128th Annual Meeting in Indianapolis

Brattleboro, VT: Holstein Association USA members met for their 128th Annual Business Meeting on July 10 and 11, as a part of the 2013 National Holstein Convention in Indianapolis, Ind. President Chuck Worden presided over the meeting, during which members heard reports from the president, CEO and treasurer, discussed current issues relating to the breed and Association, and delegates elected new officers and directors to the board.

State of the Association Members in attendance heard reports presented by President Chuck Worden and Chief Executive Officer John M. Meyer, highlighting current Association and industry issues, and discussing where the Association’s sights are set for the future.

Worden began by reflecting on the opportunities he has had as an officer of Holstein Association USA to travel the world and see the influence U.S. genetics have on the global Holstein population. “These opportunities gave me the chance to see and understand how our GTPI® has become the ‘gold standard’ for genetic indexes around the world. It also made me realize how many of our friends and allies look up to Holstein USA for leadership.” He continued, “As the largest dairy breed organization in the world, it is up to us to help raise all breed associations up and support their efforts to lead their dairy industries and serve their members. Establishing and maintaining the importance of breed organizations around the world helps strengthen us all.”

Addressing the changing dynamics of our industry, Worden stated, “The use of genomics as a selection tool hasn't changed the need to collect large amounts of phenotypic data, but it may change what data is used and the way in which it is collected. We must work to preserve the system we have and find ways to protect our unbiased gold standard. Continuing to improve the quality of all data used in the system will help raise the reliabilities of our genomic predictions.”

In his State of the Association address, CEO Meyer highlighted some key areas of Association performance in 2012. “The momentum of steady increases in registrations continues,” Meyer reported. “Registrations totaled 362,669, up 2,520 over 2011 totals. It is interesting to note that ten years ago in 2002, we registered 315,488 head. Because of you and the world’s most profitable cow, the U.S. Registered Holstein®, registrations have increased 47,181 in the last ten years.”

Another exciting statistic reported was 2012’s increase in members.

“One of the best barometers for measuring the success of a member organization is to look at new membership growth. New adult membership rose by three percent, as we welcomed 629 new adult members, and junior membership increased by eight percent, as 966 juniors joined our ranks. These numbers bode well for the future of this great Association!”

Meyer closed on a positive note, saying, “When you get right down to it, the Holstein Association is not just a cow business; it is a people business. The majority of you have gained much more from the Holstein Association than is recorded on the dollar side of your own operation’s ledger or that of your Association. Through the Holstein Association, you have gained friends you may have never met without your common interest in Registered Holstein cattle. Many of these special friendships will last a lifetime.”

“You have gained fond memories of cattle, people, places, special events, national conventions, and experiences that are not available to the uninvolved,” Meyer continued. “The greatest gain, however, might be in the personal satisfaction each and every one of you has from the knowledge that you have contributed to the well-being and improvement of the United States Registered Holstein herd, which is the most coveted in the world!”

Videos of the complete CEO’s and president’s addresses can be found online at www.youtube.com/HolsteinUSA. New Officers and Directors Elected It was the responsibility of the delegate body to elect new officers and directors to fill six openings on the Holstein Association USA board of directors. Glen E. Brown, Utah, was elected president after completing a two-year term as vice president, and Gordie Cook, Mass., was the successful vice presidential candidate. Incumbents elected to a second three-year term on the board of directors include 12–wisconsin HOLSTEIN news/September 2013

Peter B. Waterman, Maine, representing Region 1; Gayle Carson, Tenn., for Region 4; and Corey Geiger, Wis., in the At-Large seat.

Elected to his first three-year term on the board was Mark Kerndt, Iowa, representing Region 6.

This award is given annually to a Holstein Association USA member or partnership of members between the ages of 21 and 40, recognizing the significant accomplishments of young Registered Holstein breeders, and their commitment to preserving the dairy industry and achieving excellence in their daily lives. Honorees receive paid travel and lodging expenses to the National Holstein Convention and a $2,000 cash award.

Ryan-Vu Holsteins consists of 95 Registered Holstein cows, milked twice a day in their tiestall barn. A Holstein COMPLETE® herd, the Ryans participate in the full spectrum of Holstein Association USA programs, which they feel help add value to their cattle and aid in their marketing efforts. They classify regularly and currently have a BAA of 111.9%, with 45 Excellent cows, 42 scored Very Good and three Good Plus, ranking them second in the nation for their herd size. The farm has received Progressive Breeders Registry™ recognition three years, have five cows who have earned Gold Medal Dam™ honors, and three Dams of Merit™. Chad’s parents, Mark and Mary, are involved with the farm on a daily basis, and Chad and Amy are enjoying introducing their two young sons, Dylan and Cameron, to their dairy farming way of life.

Chad and Amy enjoy moderate-sized cows with a balanced combination of dairyness and strength, who are functionally sound and trouble-free. Their ultimate goal for each mating is to develop an Excellent cow who will produce over 200,000 pounds of milk. Thus far, they have had ten cows achieve the 200,000 pound milestone, including an Excellent-92 Maughlin Storm daughter who made over 400,000 pounds of milk in 12 lactations. They believe that working with strong cow families on both sides of the pedigree is key to developing a long-lasting productive herd of cows, and have invested in some of the breed’s greatest cow families, using embryo transfer and IVF to more rapidly grow their herd.

Chad and Amy enjoy giving their time to a variety of activities, especially those that involve working with youth. They are coaches of the Fond du Lac county 4-H dairy judging team, and Amy volunteers annually at the International Junior Holstein Show as a ringperson.

Both active with their county and state Holstein Associations, Chad was elected to the Wisconsin Holstein Association board in 2010, and is currently co-chairing both the Midwest Spring National Holstein Show and Scholarship committees. The couple says, “As our sons grow up, we always see Registered Holsteins playing a large role in our future, as we look forward to guiding them and offering them the same opportunities this industry has brought us.”

wisconsin HOLSTEIN news/September 2013-15

From Your WHA Royalty – Remembering John Klossner John Robert Klossner lived an incredible life, and although short, he had a beautiful ride. John embraced his uniqueness, and it made him magnetic to those around him. With an obsession with Holsteins, hunting, fitting, and SpongeBob, John impacted the lives of so many, in his beautiful 19 years of life.

Aside from being a full-time comedian, best friend, a Holstein World connoisseur, and Jared Niemann’s biggest fan, above all - John was a teacher. If there was one thing that we loved more than watching him become great at something, it was watching him share what he knew with anyone that would listen, especially the kids. He taught us countless things that we’ll never let go of.

John loved and had so much passion for the ones around him. He loved his family deeply, and, while it’s no secret that John and Kristin had a bond second to none, it is obvious that his sense of humor was nearly all thanks to his big brother, Rory. The two proudest days of John’s life was when Olivia and Sydney were born.

John was so excited to be an uncle and even more excited to be a Godfather. John would specifically go matchbox car shopping in the name of beating his 3-year-old niece at racing. John never took mercy on any of his competition, even if they wore pigtails and still drank out of a sippy-cup.

John admired his parents the most. He always told us how mama Rox was so amazing, so supportive, so loving. He looked up to his father, and told us several times what a dedicated and humble man he was. He always said his family was “everything he ever could want.”

John touched the lives of everyone who came to know him. We both know that at WI Holstein Events, although we could wear a crown all day, John was truly the most loved person there. Kids adored him, whether it was his dry humor, or even his smile and his memorable laugh; no one could compete with John.

When we received our titles in January, there was never a brother more proud of his girls. I (Morgan) was so excited to get to spend my year with my big/little brother as we road-tripped across the state as a Princess and JAC. One particular event, lead us to the boonies of Wisconsin - which could only mean cow camp - where midway through our drive, John and I took a break from car karaoke, John’s milk replacer flavored air freshener, and probably most importantly, driving, to stop at a gas station that specialized in three things, none of which being a certain petroleum product. Inside this shack of a gas station were wall to wall dream catchers, wolf statuary, and best of all ‘I love my (insert a dog breed here)’ car magnets. Naturally, we picked the ugliest magnet we could find, a huge glowing poodle with stars in its eyes and saved it for just such an occasion.

Meanwhile, back on the bumpiest roads of northern Wisconsin where you can easily go 30 miles without seeing another gas station, our bladders began to expand. When we finally couldn’t take it any longer, we pulled off to a cornfield with a pair of bushes in the middle.

As John and I sprinted to our designated bushes, he left me with the wise words of “leaves of three, leave them be!” And, if you’re wondering, John and I did get the satisfaction of watching Nick drive off into the sunset with world’s ugliest car magnet stuck to his tailgate.

Because of our time spent together, we were able to learn some valuable life lessons that John lived by. #1 DON’T BE A POSER, BE YOURSELF John wrote, “Posers build their rep on likes and made up stories that happen so differently from the truth, that it makes Osama bin Laden look like a trustworthy guy.”

John was never afraid to tell the truth. If he didn’t like something, he’d tell you. For example, you could never convince him to love color breeds. “Jerseys are my kryptonite,” he’d say. John valued the truth, and would never lie to you. He surrounded himself with trustworthy people, and was a great secret-keeper.

16–wisconsin HOLSTEIN news/September 2013

John believed in being himself with no apologies, and thank goodness for that. There is something really special about a friend that is honest enough to look you dead in the eye and call you stupid more than once in a day, and then call you on his home phone that night for three and a half hours just to talk sire summaries and end the conversation with ‘love ya, kid’. John never pretended to be anyone except for himself and that’s something truly irreplaceable. #2 BE A GREAT FRIEND John knew how to make friends, and he was great at it. John always looked forward to meeting new people, and was always down for a good time. He loved each and every one of us, and truly valued his friendships. He was so reliable.

He also knew that just because you didn’t show up to the same family reunions, didn’t mean you weren’t family. He really had a special way of adopting people into his life as so much more than just a best friend. Because of John, Taylor and I (Morgan) got to have the brother we always wanted. The one that pushed us around, pulled hair, locked our shoes in safes (and forgot the code), taught us how to properly pair and eat Skittles, get yelled at by hotel management, quote a good movie, greet pizza boys, how to handle a prank call gone wrong, and what in the world a duck fajita is, among so, so, many other applicable life lessons. He didn’t just get the title of “World’s Best Brother;” he earned it. #3 LIVE WITH PASSION John described his show experience in these simple words - “I’m in pain, over-tired, hated and love it all because this is what I do.”

John loved what he did, and did it with passion. He’d work for hours on his heifer, Style. My mom (Crystal’s) told John that Style needed to lose weight at the Wisconsin State Show in July. John then told me how he walked her every day, three times a day, washed her every day, and fed her the right feed to get her perfect for the Wisconsin State Fair. He was never afraid of hard work.

John knew that opportunity came in the form of hard work, and work hard he did. He’d tackle any project with a smile (well, maybe not with a smile, but he would tackle that project), and go above and beyond what was required all while making everyone around him laugh. It was so, so wonderful being able to watch ringside as John’s dreams came true during this year’s show season, and if anyone ever deserved the whole world, it was John. No friendship is more true than watching your best friend annihilate you in the summer yearling class at county fair and then high-five-ing them on the way back to the barn with a stupid grin on your face.

He truly inspired everyone around him, and with his passing, takes a piece of our hearts with him.

John was so full of life; he could light up an entire room with his presence. Although he won’t be here to hold our hand, give us encouraging words, or even just talk ridiculously, he will always be here in spirit.

Although our friendship was cut much too short, we feel content knowing that we have loved this deeply. Every one of us gained a special angel.

So whether you couldn’t pronounce Uncle John, gave him a different middle name, or just called him John, let’s celebrate John’s life the way he would have wanted. Let us never forget to be every bit of ourselves, be the friend you wish you had, and to live with a passion, whatever it may be.

In closing, here is one last quote from John: “As of late I have been shown that life is too short to hold grudges, too short to live without all you got. Whether you’re a good friend, boyfriend, girlfriend, new friend or old friend, remember friends come first. There’s no goodbyes, just see you laters.”

See you later we will, friend. Morgan and Crystal

We value aAa and strive to breed a youthful, balanced cow. We also focus on families that have proven to transmit the qualities we value.

Comment on the animals that contributed to the winning of this award: When our children turned 9 they were given their choice of a calf on the farm. Our youngest son David (15), chose a heifer out of an EX Charles from our Ginger family. Welsh-Edge Granola is now EX-92 and had had 6 heifer calves (0 bulls!) for David! At the show this year we had Granola and her three oldest daughters: a VG-87 Zenith 4 year old, VG-85 Norman 3 year old and a VG-85 Mystical 2 year old. We feel very blessed to work in the Holstein industry with such great people and cows.

When considered as a whole, our service sires will come from strong cow families with an emphasis on udders and feet & legs. We also keep an eye on genomic linear profiles to give us some insight into the breeding pattern we can expect. We tend to breed for type and longevity, and feed for production. Each year we will flush a hand full of cows to “show type” sires that hopefully produce the kind of offspring that will be competitive in the show ring.

We enjoy competing with our friends in District 5 and take great pride in receiving this award.

ACKY WPoint of View Editor’s Comments

I hope everyone had a great summer it sure does seem to go by fast when we’re busy and we certainly were busy with all of our WHA activities this summer. This issue is packed full of show results including all of the District Shows, the Wisconsin Championship Show and the first ever joint R&W Championship Show. And we’ll have more results in next month’s issue from the State Fair and WHA Futurity.

Next month will also be another Midwest Holsteins issue. This is really a great time to advertise as your ad will be seen by breeders in all five of the upper Midwest states. We will also be taking extra copies of that issue to give away at our booth at World Dairy Expo, so you get even more for your advertising dollars! If you’d like to advertise in the October issue, please give me a call by September 6.

Another fun project each year is our annual Breeder Calendar which is also distributed at our booth at World Dairy Expo. This has really become a popular item and people stop by each year to pick up their copy of the WI Holstein calendar. If you would like to be a part of the 2014 Calendar, please give me a call ASAP - months are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.

Membership renewals will be coming out soon - watch your email’s inbox or mailbox for those notices. If you do not receive anything by mid-October please give Sharon a call at our office.

The Wisconsin Holstein community lost a special young man this month.

I’ve had the privilege of watching John Klossner grow up in the Junior Holstein Association... from a spirited young kid tagging along with his big sister to all of her Princess events to a JAC leader and role model who was looked up to by so many of our younger members. John left a great impression on all who met him and I’d like to encourage all of our junior members to do their best to follow in his footsteps... we’ll miss you John!

Until next time...
