4 – Wisconsin Holstein News – August/September 2022

From the President - Steve Endres Hello everyone! Summer is flying by, seems like it always does!

For those of us who are football fans we don’t have to wait long for Packers training camp and Badger practices.

Instead of looking ahead, I first want to go back to report on district shows. Normally I am not someone who gets out much, but thanks to everyone on the farm covering for me, plus Kathy accompanying me, I made it to every district show. I did not see every class at every show, but I certainly caught most of them!

As I traveled around the state, I was able to check out the crops along the way. How are the corn and beans progressing? How do they look compared to other areas? What crop of hay is done? Is the wheat starting to ripen? These are the questions that go through my mind. My heart sank when we went through an area that had storm damage but at the same time, I was thankful for our own good fortune.

It was a great experience to meet breeders that I have heard of but had not had the chance to meet. I am now able to put a face with a name. It goes without saying that it is so great to see Holstein friends and acquaintances again!

One thing for sure is that there are great cattle in every district! It was amazing the strings that some farms brought out. There would be three or four really good heifers and then they would trot out several great cows as well! Across the board, there were many, many breeders who exhibited outstanding individual animals. Hopefully

our Championship Show entries are strong as there are many cattle that warrant being there. I am looking forward to seeing how they all line up at the show!

By the way, our judges did a great job placing the cattle, in my opinion.

We had some well-seasoned judges as well as some young judges just starting to do District shows. All were impressive!

I want to thank the WHA staff, royalty, JACs and other volunteers involved, for they are essential to pulling these shows off. They all walk into a variety of situations and make them all work, which is especially challenging when there are six shows in one week!

It was surely my pleasure to take in these shows, meet breeders and chat with everyone!

State Fair is on the docket now. The WHA All-Breeds Futurity is on Saturday, August 13. As per usual, be sure and check the website and/or the News for more upcoming events!

Enjoy the remainder of the summer and take care.

Steve

Obituaries

Richard K. Towns, age 90, of Edgerton, passed away peacefully on July 6, 2022, at his home with family surrounding him. He was born in Janesville on May 24, 1932, the son of Malcolm Mayo Towns and Bernadine Margaret (Holden) Towns and graduated from Edgerton High School in 1950. He grew up on his family’s dairy farm in the Town of Porter and successfully farmed most of his adult life on the family farm after returning from military service. He was recognized in the dairy industry for breeding and milking a high-quality Registered Holstein herd. He served as President of the Wisconsin Holstein Association and was awarded as a Wisconsin Distinguished Holstein Breeder.

Dick was a man of faith. He was confident of his relationship with God. He married Ruth E. Sunby on October 4, 1953, at the Methodist Church in Edgerton. He loved his church in Fulton, which he attended his entire life. He volunteered to serve in many roles over his 90 years in the church including trustee, deacon and AWANA youth leader and building committee.

Rock County benefited from Richard’s willingness to serve his community. He served for 18 years on the Porter Town board and

18 years on the Rock County board. He was also active with county agriculture groups including Rock County Ag Business leaders and Rock County Dairy Promotion. The Edgerton Rotary recognized him as an Honored Citizen in 2008.

Richard and his wife of 68 years, Ruth, raised five sons together.

He loved his family and supported and cheered for them in their various activities. He was also an avid Wisconsin sports fan and was happy to discuss the latest scores and trades. One of his greatest pleasures was to have the whole group together for a meal.

He is survived by his wife, Ruth; four sons: Steve (Debi), Mark (Pat), John (Lisa) and Scott (Nancy) and daughter-in-law Arlene; 12 grandchildren: Tamara (John), Rachel (Scott), Matthew (Betsy), Ben (JoLyn), Caroline (Clayton), Brian (Beth), Becky, Adam (Jen), Jason (Jessi), Danny (Nina), Travis (Emily) and Austin; and very proud of his 21 great grandchildren; sister, Helen Walker of Waupaca; sister-in-law, Mary Sunby and other extended family and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents; son, Bruce; sister, Ruth, mother-in-law, Velma Herrington, brother and sisters-in-law Ben Hippe, Joe Walker, Gene Sunby, Roger and Donna Sunby, and grandson-in-law Daryn Allen.

youth at Hickory Hill Academy’s Dairy Day in Madison. Local Royalty ran educational stations to help show the students what June Dairy Month is all about! I enjoyed teaching about ice cream and serving samples. It was also fun to meet other young women in Royalty positions. To end a long week of District Shows, I attended the Fond du Lac County Breakfast on the Farm at Dodger Acres in Rosendale. I enjoyed a delicious breakfast, then helped run games in the education tent.

Rounding out the summer, Elena and I attended Fond du Lac County’s Futurity and Dress a Critter contest. I am excited to meet junior exhibitors at Wisconsin State Fair, as well as experience the WHA All-Breeds Futurity! I will be representing WHA at the Dodge, Shawano, and Sheboygan County Futurity shows as well. I look forward to meeting the exhibitors at the Wisconsin Summer Championship Show, August 22-26 at the Alliant Energy Center. I hope to see you there!

It is hard to believe my time as the Wisconsin Holstein Princess is over halfway done.

District 10: Just-R-Mess Dairy

By Ana McCourt, 2022 WHA Summer Intern

Though Just-R-Mess may seem like it means something else, it is solely a play on the Mess family’s last name. Deb and Austin Mess’s passion for dairy cattle began on their home farms where they grew up. Deb grew up with Red and White Holsteins, both egistered and grade, while Austin was raised on a Registered Holstein farm. Since meeting while attending the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the pair have started their own herd, now working alongside their children Kaylee, Sam, and Leah in Rosendale.

The Mess family started their herd in 2005.

It began with a mix of cows from both Deb and Austin’s parents’ farms; 40 were brought from Austin’s parents and a couple came in those first few years from Deb’s parents. Today, the 125-head herd consists of mostly Holsteins and Red and Whites, with a few Brown Swiss, Jerseys, and Linebacks Mess Family at the Fond du Lac County Holstein Futurity.

Premier Breeder and Exhibitor Profiles

It’s often heard at shows from announcers on what an honor it is to receive Premier Breeder or Exhibitor of a show. These awards are a testament to the time and devotion put into breeding and developing a herd of cows and being able to reap those successes at shows. Each farm or breeder who received this honor this year was asked to share their breeding goals and information about their herd. Check out these mini-profiles on these outstanding breeders and exhibitors.

District 1: Premier Breeder and Exhibitor - Crisdhome Farm, The Kruscke Family Family Members: Jake, Jade & Brantley Kruschke Location: New Richmond, Wis. Number of cows: 95

RHA: 25,389

BAA: 113.4 (69 EX, 32 VG)

Number Shown: 8 with 7 homebred

Sires used: Doorman, Doc, Tatoo, Crushabull, Sidekick, Gold Chip, Warrior, Lambda, Unix, Hancock, Thunderstorm, and Showtime

Breeding philosophy: We try to breed for balanced framed cows with wide square rumps, a strong front end, high wide rear udders and walk on a functional set of feet and legs. We have put less emphasis on stature recently and more emphasis on breeding medium sized cows with fewer faults that are more functional.

Comment on cows: Crisdhome Atw Doctorcherry is a cow we have shown in the past with success as she was Senior and Reserve Grand Champion at the District 1 Show in 2019. Crisdhome Dback Ruby-Red is a young cow we’re excited about. She’s a Junior 3-Year-Old that was just three weeks fresh at the show. Additionally Crisdhome Midnight Metallica is a Senior 3-Year-Old that has been a class winner for us back to back years in milking form.

Number of cows: 100

Number Shown: 7 with 4 homebred

Sires used: Alleyoop, Lambeau, Revere-Red, Doc, Warrior and Hanans

Breeding philosophy: Breeding for body composite and rear udder height and legs. Goals are to keep improving genetics and to have that champion cow. The herd started out 40 years ago as a grade herd and now the herd is over 90% registered.

Comment on cows: Dittrich Dempsey Pepsey was 2nd and 1st junior aged cow. JKB-Dittrich Airlift Breeze was 4th in the 5-year-old class and 2nd junior. She was also Reserve Champion Cow at the Northern Wisconsin State Fair this year. Willows Edge Add Massager placed fourth in the Junior 2-year-old class. Kurthhaven Barcardi Undenied placed 5th in the Senior 2-year-old class. Our kids take great pride in showing animals that they have ownership in. They work very hard with the animals year-round. Our herd has had numerous champions at the county fair. We take pride in showing animals as a project from calf to cow. Pepsi, the aged cow, our son showed at the Buffalo County Fair as a Farm Bureau Calf Grant project and now, nine years later, he still takes pride in showing her.

Along with showing at the District 2 Show we have shown at the Northern Wisconsin State Fair and the Central Wisconsin State Fair along with the Buffalo County Fair. Our goal is to have our children show at the State Fair.

Each animal is mated individually based on her strengths and weaknesses. We are also putting in embryos from Apple B and putting her daughters on IVF where we’ve had interest. Our goal is to breed for heifers with great eye appeal but also longevity and milk production. We are always keeping our eye open for heifers in spring sales that have a promising pedigree and look like something that our program could help develop. We focus on making show calves but at the end of the day they have to make great cows. We look forward to developing our young herd as our oldest Apple B daughter just showed as a young 4 year old this year -Defiant x Apple B.

Cow Camp 2022 - Holstein Hoedown

Nearly 45 campers enjoyed a weekend at Mt. Morris Campground in Wautoma. Campers had the chance to meet new friends, take part in traditional camping activities and learn about the Registered Holstein cow, the dairy industry and more through educational sessions. Traditional activities like the campfire, ag olympics and shaving cream fight were also enjoyed by all. The Star Camper Award was given to Justin Brandel of Jefferson County.

Thank you to our guest speakers and volunteers for making this another successful event. Sponsors for this year’s camp included Emmi Roth, CentralStar Cooperative, Feltz’s Dairy Store and American Foods Group.

Dairy Judging - Red Group We enjoyed learning about cow parts during this session. The leader, Angie Ulness, talked about the importance of knowing cow parts and how to compare them. We also appreciated her sharing tips for judging competitions and picking out calves to show.

Calf Nutrition - Green Group In the TMR/nutrition session led by Jen Meyer we learned about what to feed our calves all the way up to cows. We also talked about the different parts of a TMR and got to make our own TMR snack to enjoy.

Calf Care - White Group The most important thing we learned was how to take care of sick calves. We also learned about newborn calf care. This is important so when we are older we know how to properly take care of our own calves. This is also important because we need to set her up for the rest of her life. Thank you to Payge Dahlke for leading this session.

Barn Quilt Painting - Yellow Group WHA Royalty led campers through painting wooden barn quilts with stencils. While waiting for paint to dry, campers played get-toknow-you games. Campers enjoyed being creative and making their own unique creations. Royalty chose a first and second place quilt for a prize.

Packing a Showbox - Teal Group We really enjoyed listening to Ainsley’s presentation on how to be prepared and what to bring to shows. We especially liked learning about substitutions for the materials and supplies. We had fun talking about what everything is used for and how it can help us on show morning. Thank you Ainsley!

Farm Safety - Blue Group At the farm safety station, we learned what happens when you get electrocuted, get impaled by an object, or what happens when you get a severe cut. We also learned how to react to these situations. We were able to see what happens to your brain when you wear a bike helmet compared to when you don’t. We would like to thank Molly Dorshorst for leading a great session.

Reproduction/Anatomy - Orange Group We learned about reproduction and anatomy from Dr. Matt Dorshorst on Sunday. We really enjoyed being able to learn hands on and practice artificial insemination on reproductive tracks. The group learned where the egg develops and gets released, how a corpus luteum develops and the importance of its production of progesterone, where to find a cervix on a cow and how it feels, and the role it plays in protecting the calf during pregnancy. We greatly appreciate Dr. Dorshorst’s passion and knowledge that he shared and thank him for taking the time to teach us.

Dairy Products - Purple Group JAC Lauren lead a session on the different dairy products. We got to try cheese from Feltz’s Dairy Store and guess what kind it was. We also got to answer dairy bowl questions. We had lots of fun!

August/September 2022 – Wisconsin Holstein News – 31

Wisconsin Holstein members enjoy 2022 National Holstein Convention Wisconsin Holstein members had another exciting National Convention with major award winners for the adults and juniors.

Attendees enjoyed the many tour options offered by the Minnesota Holstein Associations in the Sioux Falls, SD area.

Junior contests were held early in the week and Wisconsin had several youth in the Speaking and Dairy Jeopardy contests. Alison Gartman of Sheboygan County excelled in both - taking home first place in the junior Dairy Jeopardy contest and second in the junior Speaking contest. Both of the Wisconsin dairy bowl teams placed fifth in their division and the Brown County juniors were also recognized with the Sportsmanship Award.

Receiving National Young Distinguished Junior Member awards were Logan Harbaugh and Elizabeth Gunst. Hannah Hockerman, Elise Bleck, Mac McCullough and Matthew Gunst were National Distinguished Junior Member semi-finalists, with Hockerman, Gunst and McCullough being selected as DJM Finalists.

At the Holstein USA annual meeting, Wisconsin’s Herds of Excellence were recognized. Other special awards were Budjon Farms with the Star of the Breed winner, Blondin Goldwyn Subliminal-ETS, Sandy Valley Farms being named Elite Breeder, and Mitch Kappelman recognized as Distinguished Young Breeder.

Bob Webb was re-elected to a second term representing Region 5 on the Holstein USA board of directors.

Corey Geiger completed his term as HA USA President.

Thank you to Corey for your years of service on the board.

Thank you to the Minnesota Holstein Association for hosting a great convention!

Sandy Valley Farms recognized with Elite Breeder Award

Perhaps one of the greatest compliments a Registered Holstein breeder can receive is seeing genetics from their herd be successful in other operations. The Bauer brothers of Sandy-Valley Farms in Scandinavia have accomplished this, and much more, through their wide-reaching breeding program.

The Registered Holstein® herd at Sandy-Valley Farms has achieved the sought-after balance of cattle with great production, desirable type and high genomic value. Their herd’s elite genetics have worked not

only at Sandy-Valley Farms, but also in barns across the nation and throughout the world.

The Bauer family’s commitment to breeding top-notch Registered Holsteins has gained them much respect from fellow breeders. Although they are no longer farming, the positive contributions Sandy-Valley genetics have had on the Holstein breed will leave a lasting influence for years to come.

Starting with a vision The Bauer brothers first became involved with Registered Holsteins when they began farming with their parents, Frank Sr. and Patricia.

“Our parents had a herd of grade Holsteins,” Greg recalled. “They were good cattle, but soon after my brothers – David, Frank Jr. and Patrick - bought the farm, the decision was made to try to work with the best. We began to study pedigrees in an attempt to identify some of the great cow families in the Holstein breed.”

Sandy-Valley invested in their first high-end female in 1988. They purchased a Bell Rex yearling heifer from Plushanski farms at a 21st Century Genetics sale. They lost the heifer shortly after she calved, but this disappointment didn’t impede their efforts to work with the best in Holstein genetics.

“That was a bit of a setback, but we continued to buy into families we thought were among the strongest in the breed,” Greg says. “The ones that excelled for us we kept breeding from; the ones that didn’t became recipients.”

This strategy laid the groundwork for Sandy-Valley’s success. They flushed their high-end animals and used the rest of the herd as embryo recipients. When choosing sires they focused on udders, feet and legs, and milk yield with reasonable components. As more information became available in the industry on health traits, somatic cell and fertility also became important foci.

The brothers’ determination to improve the quality of their herd resulted in a uniform group of cows with flawless udders, sound feet and legs, and solid production. “Our goal was to breed a cow the commercial dairyman could respect and the type-oriented breeder could admire,” Greg stated. “We wanted to breed a balanced animal that fit the true type Holstein model.”

The brothers worked in unison to achieve their goals. While all worked together in general farm management and activities; each brother maintained a specific expertise. David and Patrick managed the milking herd. Frank oversaw farm projects. Greg handled genetics and marketing. Fieldwork was shared. As with most family farms the brothers’ wives, children, and children’s spouses played an integral part

in the daily operations.

Stand out cow families The family’s commitment to breeding and marketing high-quality genetics led to much success for Sandy-Valley Farms over the years.

Sandy-Valley Farms bred an impressive 107 Dams of Merit, 106 Gold Medal Dams, including 46 cows receiving both distinctions. They also bred 10 Gold Medal Sires and a total of 186 Excellent females and males. In 2019, Holstein International recognized them as number six on the “25 Most Influential Breeders of the Last 25 Years” list, as selected by their readers.

The Sandy-Valley herd became known for their uniform group of cows with strong production and impeccable udders. However, there were four cow families that made a mark for the Bauer brothers.

Sandy-Valley Plane Sapphire was the dam of two high-performing bulls, Sandy-Valley Saloon-ET and Sandy-Valley Sterling-ET. Saloon was a number one TPI proven sire, and Sterling ranked as high as number three on the proven sire list. The star of the Sapphire family was Sandy-Valley Rubicon Eternity. She held the title as the number one TPI cow for two runs and produced many high genomic calves for SandyValley Farms.

They also enjoyed working with the Rudy Missy family. The brothers especially admired Sandy-Valley Uno Paradise EX-94 for her conformation and extreme components, producing records over 4% protein and 6% butterfat on a number of lactations. Paradise was also the dam of Sandy-Valley J Pharo-ET, a strong type bull.

The Cosmopolitan family was another that performed well at SandyValley. The brothers described cows from this family to be strong, longlasting cattle with uniformly great udders.

Greg says the headline cow of the Cosmo family at Sandy-Valley was called Cokisncream. “A Silver daughter from an EX-90 Supersire, Cokisncream scored EX-93, EX(94)MS and is dam of Sandy-Valley Challenger. Challenger ranked as high as number seven on the TPI proven sire list and is transmitting outstanding udders.”

Rounding out the quartet of stand-out cow families was the Barbie family. Greg recalled that these cattle were “beautifully framed and highly marketable.”

Perhaps the most influential Sandy-Valley bull was Sandy-Valley Bolton-ET whose daughters were known for extreme milk yield, good type, and docile temperaments. Bolton was from a unique sire stack, and Greg noted that “he is a great example of what can result when a complimentary mating works like you hope it will.” Like Saloon, Bolton is a former number one TPI proven sire.

Long-lasting influence The Registered Holstein cow remained central to the progress at Sandy-Valley Farms. In addition to helping keep the farm profitable, they provided the family a spark of enthusiasm and excitement.

Early in their dairy farming careers, the Bauer brothers formed a vision for their family’s farm and worked with integrity, persistence, and curiosity to achieve their dreams. It was the dedication and effort of the Bauer family and those they worked with, combined with the genetics and marketability of U.S. Registered Holsteins, that made them successful.

The Bauer brothers and the incredible genetics of the SandyValley herd are a true example of what is possible with a little grit, determination, and finding joy in the journey along the way. They’ll tell you while breeding a great one was always satisfying, the little moments along the way can be just as fulfilling.

Such fulfillment was seen in promoting family-focused effort in the role of dairy farming in America and working to elevate the value of the Holstein breed in the dairy industry in America and abroad.

The Bauer brothers and family are proud of the accomplishments they have made through the years and are thankful to all those who

supported and traveled that amazing journey with them.

Mitch Kappelman named Distinguished Young Breeder

On a spring day in eastern Wisconsin, Mitch Kappelman pulls on a sweatshirt and breathes in the brisk early-morning air. With a broad smile, he walks through the center alley of the freestall barn as a group of cows file back in after morning milking.

Located just four miles from Lake Michigan, his family’s Meadow Brook Farms near Manitowoc is in an ideal region for dairy production.

Cooler summer temperatures and warmer days in the winter help keep animals comfortable and productive, along with dedicated management and care.

It’s a lifestyle that runs deep within Mitch’s family ancestry. The farm was established more than 150 years ago with a few cows, and rows and rows of potatoes. Today, Mitch is the fifth generation to farm on the family’s land.

“Farming is something I’ve always known,” says Mitch, the 30-yearold son of Pete and Shellie Kappelman. “Growing up here, it’s what we did every summer. It’s what we did before school and after school. So, farming was always clear.”

From a young age, he knew he wanted to be involved in the dairy industry — and now, he is living out that dream as he manages the herd at Meadow Brook Farms. Because of his enthusiasm for dairy farming and the Registered Holstein® cow, Holstein Association USA proudly honored Mitch with the 2022 Distinguished Young Holstein Breeder award.

Finding his way Through the years, Mitch says his passion for agriculture was ignited through the National Junior Holstein Association. Competing at shows and popular events like Dairy Bowl and Dairy Jeopardy, he made lifelong friends and connections.

“I grew up showing cows and attending national conventions,” Mitch says. “That transitioned in high school when I started taking on leadership roles with the Wisconsin Junior Holstein Activities Committee. I just tried to take the bull by the horns where I could.”

After graduating with a dairy science degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2013, Mitch worked as a herd analyst for Accelerated Genetics. After a couple of years, his passion led him back home to the farm.

“I loved the genetics side of things and working with other farmers, but there’s nothing like working with your own cows,” he says. Today, he is involved in all of the day-to-day activities at Meadow Brook Farms, caring for the herd of Registered Holsteins and a team of 11 employees.

“My biggest priorities are employees and cow health,” Mitch says.

“I’m constantly going through and making sure everybody is healthy,

employees and cows, to keep everything running smoothly.”

They milk around 425 cows, three times a day, in a double-nine parallel parlor. The rolling herd average is just over 30,000 pounds of milk, with 1,230 pounds of fat and 927 pounds of protein. Since their milk is eventually marketed as cheese, high components are key. They are currently at 4.1% fat and 3.1% protein, and look to continue raising the bar in the next five years.

Mitch also takes pride in maintaining a low somatic cell count (SCC), and the farm consistently has a SCC between 49,000 to 70,000. Meadow Brook Farms was recognized for their low SCC with a Milk Quality Award from Land O’Lakes in 2021. The farm also has a beef-on-dairy program and sells meat locally.

Mitch says a big part of his breeding philosophy is always striving for new genetic goals, while never losing sight of what keeps the herd grounded — keeping cows healthy and comfortable. Together, these practices lead to productive, long-lasting cows.

“The key to having success is setting your genetic ceiling high,” he says.

“The majority of our herd is commercial. We’re looking for productive cows with strength, great health traits, with DPR and great components.

I want cows that last forever.”

Harnessing technology Mitch relies on several programs from Holstein Association USA to keep the herd moving forward, from registration to classification, and TriStar to genomic testing.

“We genomic test every calf with CLARIFIDE® Plus,” he says. “Using genomic testing, each string of cows within the herd is making leaps and bounds. With some of the herd bred for type and most bred for commercial production, having a focused goal for each animal is helping to achieve my goals.”

With a mind that enjoys crunching the numbers, Mitch used his experience evaluating sires to create his own weighted index for the herd at Meadow Brook Farms. Coined “Mitch Match,” he uses a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet to analyze numbers to benefit each individual cow.

“I use it to determine which cows get bred dairy, which get bred beef, which get sexed semen, and which get embryos,” he says. “It is a great way to refine the female and male herds, and create the best combination from the two.”

Mitch says they also use the genomic data management tool, Enlight, from Zoetis, to stay up-to-date on herd genetics. Tools like this allow them to do more, with less.

After returning home to the farm, Mitch implemented the CowManager activity system, which he credits to helping him reduce their labor force and double the herd’s pregnancy rate. The attention to detail, both for cow care and breeding decisions, is paying off.

Meadow Brook Farms has been recognized with the Progressive Genetics Herd award for the past seven years, and they ranked within the top 25 BAA herds for their size in 2021. They’ve had seven Gold Medal Dams and 19 cows with lifetime milk production greater than 200,000 pounds.

At the end of the day, Mitch says he simply loves being with the cows, just as his family has done for generations before him. “I enjoy working with the cows. That is clearly my favorite part,” he says. “Seeing baby calves born, seeing a new heifer freshen, is exciting. And it’s exciting seeing them develop. Because I remember breeding her. I remember the granddam. I remember all of these things.”

New horizons As inventive as he is entrepreneurial, there’s much more in store for the 2022 Distinguished Young Holstein Breeder. Always eager for more knowledge, Mitch was part of class 10 of the Young Dairy Leaders Institute (YDLI), following in his parent’s footsteps. His dad and mom were in class one and two, respectively.

He has remained involved in the Manitowoc County Holstein 34 – Wisconsin Holstein News – August/September 2022

Association, serving six years on the board of directors, including a term as president. In 2018, he organized the first Breeder’s Cup event in his home county. He was also chair for the 2019 Wisconsin Adult Holstein Convention.

In August, Mitch will marry his fiancée, McKenzie Beattie, and the couple looks forward to raising their family on the farm. He says receiving the Distinguished Young Holstein Breeder Award motivates him to keep moving forward.

“To win this award means that I’m on the right track,” Mitch says.

“It means I’m doing good things, but that doesn’t mean I want to stop.

I want to keep going, I want to do more, I want to be better. And I’m excited for where that future’s going to lead.”
