Purebred Dairy Breeders – The Vocal Minority

· Comments (0)

Friday, October 31st, 2014

Worldwide purebred dairy cattle breeders account for less than 1% of the dairy farmers. Purebred Holstein breeders account for around 20% of the Holstein cattle in the USA and about 17% of the total dairy cattle in the USA. However, if you were to read any of the media, or discussion groups among breeders, you would think that purebred breeders were closer to 90%.

This disconnect was once again made obvious to me yesterday, when I posted a simple question “Do you think there will be any more Millionaire Sires?” which referenced an article we wrote back in September by the same name. While the topic generated over 200 comments in under 12 hours, what was most telling was the perspective that revealed how long many breeders believed it would take for a sire to achieve such a lofty number. The one point that came through loud and clear was that the average pedigree breeder has an inflated sense of how much semen market share they actually account for.

Trust me I understand that we can all be guilty of having an inflated ego. Some of us…read that as I, have a bigger ego than must. However, even I can realize how little of the semen market share the pedigree sector actually accounts for.

There are approximately 115 million dairy farms in the world. India and Pakistan account for 89 million of those dairy farms although, at an average herd size of less than five cows; these two countries are mostly irrelevant from a dairy cattle breeding perspective (although some of The Bullvine’s competitors would argue differently if you look at their Facebook followers’ profile (Read more: The Truth about Dairy Genetics Publications Facebook Fan Page Statistics). As far as worldwide dairy cattle genetics are concerned, specifically semen sales, the principal markets, based on the number of dairy cattle, average herd size, and total production per cow, are: as follows:

United States of America
China
Russia
Brazil
Germany
France
New Zealand
United Kingdom
Turkey
Netherlands

When you look at these ten countries that account for 51.1% of the world’s milk production (68% if you exclude India and Pakistan), one of the key points that stands out is that the average herd size in most of these countries is well over 100 cows.

United States dairy cows stats show that the average herd size on dairy farms is 167 milking cows. The majority (74%) of U.S. dairy farms have less than 100 cows. Farms with more than 100 cows produce 85% of the milk. So while the majority of dairy farmers in the USA are relatively smaller herds, the large majority of the cattle and milk production are associated with large commercial herds.

When you are looking at semen sales, this is a very telling statistic. This shows that in order to move mass amounts of semen, like 1,000,000 doses, a sire needs to be used extensively in the large herd market.

It is purely a numbers thing. With almost 90% of the US dairy cattle population accounted for in the herds that are over 100 cows, in order for a sire to sell 1,000,000, he is going to need to be popular in that market sector. This is especially true given today’s high sire turnover genomic era. The opportunity to reach Millionaire status may exist for the odd sire to do it, such as the type specialist Atwood but he will be the last type sire that will ever have a chance to do so. However, as we demonstrated in the article (Read more: Do you think there will be any more Millionaire Sires?), the majority of today’s sires will be lucky to hit 500,000 in total sales.

What was shocking to me when I followed the discussion on the Milk House, was the number of purebred breeders who were throwing out niche type bull after niche type bull that could possibly achieve this lofty mark. Unless the large commercial herds have the worst conception rates known in the world, there are just not enough potential inseminations for type niche sires to ring the bell. As one member of the forum points out “More units of semen get dropped on the ground behind commercial cows daily than a small registered herd would use of that bull.”

Taking these metrics one step further, the show side of the dairy cattle breeding industry, something I love as much as anyone, accounts for less than 1% of the semen marketplace. By my calculations, less than 1/100 % of purebred breeders exhibit at World Dairy Expo, The Royal or other major dairy cattle show. Although the show segment accounts for almost 50% of the media coverage by the major dairy cattle breeding publications, it is relatively small potatoes when it comes to semen market share. From the A.I. perspective the show/type side of the marketplace is high blend price. It is also more costly to market to as these breeders are more of a sire by sire, mating by mating, purchase than a bulk semen or A.I. company loyalty purchase. This means it’s an expensive segment to attract and sell to. Hence why you see so many A.I. companies focusing on the 26% of US dairy farms that account for 85% of the dairy cattle. Heck, even Semex, the A.I. company that has produced the most sires that have sold more than 1 million doses (12) has changed their focus from a niche type market towards this much larger segment (Read more: Semex – The Rise and Fall of a Semen Empire and Select Sires vs. Semex – A Contrast in Cooperatives).

I find this issue to be especially relevant when I look at many of the boards that make decisions for the dairy cattle breeding industry, specifically breed associations. The vocal minority are not afraid to express their opinions and they are often the ones elected to the boards of some A.I. companies and most breed associations. This leads to a slant, especially at breed associations, toward their small group. So instead of focusing on the majority of the milk production market segment, these boards focus on a small niche and find themselves scrounging for relevance.

The Bullvine Bottom Line

Those who consider themselves dairy cattle breeders love to talk about the latest sire or what cow won which show. But it is important to remember they are of limited relativity to the semen market as a whole. They are a very niche segment. Yes, it’s a very vocal segment and accounts for a much larger portion of the conversation than the 26% of milk producers who account for 85% of the production. Nevertheless, the fact remains, it is still a small but vocal minority.

The Truth about Inbreeding

· Comments (0)

Thursday, October 30th, 2014

Should breeders be concerned about the increasing rate of inbreeding in today’s dairy cattle? Articles are regularly published about the need to lower the rates of inbreeding by such means as cross-breeding. However for purebred breeders planning to remain competitive in advancing their herds genetically, to increase the inventory value of their herds and to maximize the profit from their dairy operations, the matter of increased rates of inbreeding is more than a single item issue.

Breeder Attention to Inbreeding is Limited.

As I follow breeders’ comments on The Milk House (link) and other Facebook posts, I see little breeder concern or perhaps even awareness of any negative impact from focusing on a limited number of bloodlines that are more inbred than the general population.

Showmen often identify Atwood, a Goldwyn son, as the next great sire to follow Goldwyn as the Holstein breed champion in the show ring. Already, before they even receive their first official daughter proofs in December, I hear breeders talking about the attributes, including breed leading TPIs or LPIs of the many daughters they already have in their herds from two unproven bulls, Mogal and Uno. Supersire may not receive an official proof in December but, in time, all three of these sires will enter into the club of very, very extensively used sires that will lead to a further narrowing of the global diversity of Holsteins. That is what happened with Elevation, Astronaut, Blackstar, Shottle, Goldwyn, Planet and Oman in the past.

The Question is ……

Dairy breeders need to be asking themselves “How do I balance genetic improvement, dairy enterprise profit and increasing rates of inbreeding as I mate my herd?”

What is Inbreeding?

In simplest terms, inbreeding is the mating of related animals. The more closely a bull and cow are related, the higher the frequency that their common genes will be passed on to their resulting progeny. Animals that do not meet the breeding goals of breeders do not get the opportunity to have their genes passed on. As a result, the genetic diversity of the population decreases. In short, focused selection contributes significantly to decreased diversity. It is a double-edged sword.

Varying Degrees of Inbreeding.

The Dairy Cattle Reproduction Council (a proactive organization of professionals interested in enhancing reproduction through technology) has produced the following helpful chart to demonstrate the varying degrees of inbreeding.

Some interesting facts can be extrapolated from this chart. Line breeding has been used by dairy cattle breeders to fix the good genes in their herds. But it can also accentuate any negatives associated with the breeding lines used. Selection within a breed has, by far, been the tool of choice for genetic improvement especially since the introduction of artificial insemination. Its contribution to increasing rates of inbreeding has come through the very extensive use of the top sires. Inbred crosses within species has been promoted by some as a solution to the increasing rates of inbreeding but very often the benefits quoted are for single traits and not for total lifetime profit of the resulting generations.

Level of Inbreeding

For North American Holsteins from 1960 to 2010, the levels of inbreeding have gone from zero to 7% to 8%. Moreover, it is continuing to increase at about 0.3% per year.

Impact of Inbreeding in Dollar Terms

Based on USA studies it is estimated that for each 1% increase in inbreeding there is a loss in lifetime net income of $23.11. That equates to a difference of $96.44 for a 9% inbred cow compared to a 5% inbred cow. Canadian and Irish crossbreeding studies show slight lactation losses for milk, fat, and protein yields, but gains for fertility and health traits when breed crossing is practiced. However, neither study reports a net lifetime profit figure comparing breeding pure to crossing breeds.

The question when making a mating decision comes down to correcting for the loss due to inbreeding between the sires under consideration. A sire with an Inbreeding Coefficient of 8% would need to have a NM$ value of about $70 more than a sire with 5% Inbreeding Coefficient for them to be considered equal.

It is more than looking at the Inbreeding Coefficient (IC)

An animals IC tells the degree to which the animal is inbred. However in breeding it is the degree to which the progeny of a mating is inbred that needs to be considered. That means that a sire will not likely produce calves with similar ICs for every mating in your herd. It all depends on a sire’s varying degrees of relationship with your females.

In the USA and Canada information is provided for every sire on how he will mate with the national population of females as to inbreeding level. In the USA the terms used in Effective Future Inbreeding (EFI) and Genomic Future Inbreeding (GFI), while in Canada the term used is Relationship Percent (%R). In all cases, they are general guides to which sires will produce more or less inbred progeny.

What is the Ideal?

The are no perfect numbers for EFI, GFI or %R. It depends on both the genetic merit and inbreeding percent of the resulting progeny. Generally speaking, EFIs and GFIs over 10.0% and %R over 15% of the progeny should be avoided by using an alternate sire that is less related to the dam.

Sound Advice

Dr. Nate Zwald of Alta Genetics provides two thoughts relative to inbreeding:

Will the use of genomic sires speed up the rate of inbreeding? – “Yes on a breed level it will, but we are also increasing the rate of genetic gain in an incredible way. So our goal should not be a ‘less inbred’ cow but, instead, the most profitable cow. Over the past 25 years, we have created more inbreeding but also more profit. The same is true now with genomics, except that we should now expect both inbreeding and genetic gain to increase at a rate two to three times what we experienced in the past.”
Does this mean we can soon expect to get to 10 percent inbreeding level on a breed-wide basis? “Yes says Zwald. Geneticists are working on ways to balance the inbreeding level with genetic gain on a breed-wide basis, as a producer you should only be concerned with inbreeding versus genetic gain in your own herd.”

Ways to Select Bulls to Use in Your Herd

In summary, there are basically three ways to address both genetic gain and increased inbreeding:

Use Outcross Sires that are low for EFI, GFI or %R. (Read more: 12 Outcross Sires to help Control Inbreeding)
Use a herd mating program that takes into consideration inbreeding. Most AI studs have such a service.
Use sires that optimize your breeding program that are not closely related to your herd (i.e. GFI below 10% or %R below 16%) (Read more: What’s the plan?)

The Bullvine Bottom Line

As long as breeders plan to rapidly increase the genetic merit of their herds an increasing rate of inbreeding will be with us. Remember when mating a cow and bull it is the genetic merit and inbreeding percent of the resulting progeny that is the focus and not the parents’ values. One breeding program will not suit every breeder, but basing decisions on profit should be part of every plan.

10 Things You Must Know About Parasites

· Comments (0)

Wednesday, October 29th, 2014

Every ecosystem everywhere is full of parasites! They can take control of their hosts causing unimaginable harm to production, reproduction and health. The very worst thing happens when a dairy operator reads an article like this and says, “I don’t really need to worry about parasites!” That’s how they worm their way into your operation and end up running off with your profits.

Know When It’s Parasite Time … and Get Rid of Them.

Most dairy operators are aware of the susceptibility of pastured animals to parasites, and late fall or winter is a good time to re-evaluate your parasite control program. “What program?” you ask. And actually that’s a good question because the most common thing about being under attack from parasites (worms) is that, because they’re subclinical, they fly below the radar. We tend to respond quickly when we can see visible signs of illness or losses in production in our dairy herd. However, the insidious nature of parasites is hard to prove even though they cost money (estimates suggest nearly $2 billion nationally per year). These losses are affected by several variables including age, stage of growth, degree of exposure, level of nutrition, management and genetics.

Won’t Frosts Freeze out Most Parasites?

Once passed several hard killing frosts here in the northeast, parasites are much less prevalent on pastures. That is what makes this a good time to give a de-worming treatment to the herd. But is that enough? Sure it helps deal with the stomach worms which may fall in number with cold weather, but protozoan parasites (coccidia or cryptosporidium) may be on the rise when animals of various ages and production levels are housed together in larger groups inside barns. With these situations, a more considered approach is necessary.

Ten Reasons to Bother With Deworming

So we have established that parasites are present. They’re hard to detect. And we don’t know what and when or even whether we should bother with the work of getting rid of them. Here are ten reasons to help you make that pro-active decision.

Worms affect the immunity of your cattle. Any improvement in immunity will mean healthier cows.
Get rid of the parasites and your animals will feel better and eat more.
Animals that aren’t fighting off parasites are able to make better use of the nutrients present in the feed they eat.
It’s easier for a dairy animal to maintain proper weight, metabolic and reproductive processes if they are parasite free.
A target benchmark for dairy heifers is an under 15 months of age breeding date. This won’t happen if her maturity is hampered by parasites.
Another measure of dairy success is when an animal starts milking. That date can be delayed by parasite problems.
It is only common sense that there will be more milk if there are fewer parasites.
Preventing the previously mentioned late calvers will save on culling costs and replacement expenses.
Get rid of parasitism and your cows will be better at reaching a stabilized weight to support the reproductive cycle and settle into a new pregnancy.
The gains due to better feed efficiency will be reflected in decreased feed input costs.

Got Parasites? Get Pharmaceuticals!

The last four decades of research and product development have ensured that the cattle industry has access to effective pharmaceuticals. A variety of delivery methods via syringe, bolus, drench or pour on make it easy to reduce parasite burdens. This very easiness could be another reason why producers don’t take the time to develop a parasite strategy or a whole farm approach to de-worming.

Don’t Exchange Your Parasite Problem for Parasite Resistance

Dairy managers need to go beyond the easy solution of reaching for an anthelminthic and treating worms every few months. It is important to determine through diagnostic efforts what the actual parasite load is in the herd. The downside of the ease of broad spectrum anthelminthic is that indiscriminate use and improper dosing has resulted in emerging problem with resistant parasite strains. This is happening in some regions of the world with sheep and goats and is emerging in horses. If these products are not used proper and only as needed, it is just a matter of time until resistance become a major problem in dairy cattle.

The Whole Farm Approach Is More than Just the Animal and the Drug

Four areas must be given thorough investigation and consideration when setting up a whole farm approach:

the life cycle of the parasite that is present
the immunity or resistance of the animal
the pasture, stall or environment where the parasites are present
the long term concerns for developing resistance.

Got Parasites? Who Ya’ Gonna’ Call?

With so many variables, dairy producers are encouraged to get assistance in developing a parasite control program. Veterinarians can help here. A truly effective program will have to assess not only how the animals are housed or pastured, but also, where manure is spread and the planning of control methods for crops and forages.

How to Manage an Effective Parasite Program

Review and assess the levels of risk for each animal group or housing situation.
Reduce exposure to fecal oral pathogens.
Minimize infective parasite larvae through pasture rotation, making hay, sward height and maintenance of some susceptible genes in the parasite population.
Limit manure applications on grazed pastures.
Conduct routine fecal egg counts (FEC) on animal groups and use them to assess the need for and effectiveness of treatment strategies.
Work with a veterinarian to set target levels to determine when treatment is necessary.
Minimize the development of resistance by working with veterinarians to develop protocols and to screen for the emergence of resistance parasite.

Least Cost. Most Effective.

The goal is to find a low cost, effective way to prevent parasites from negatively affecting the dairy herd. This means keeping the parasite levels as low as possible during the first 100 days after calving.

If the cattle are exposed to low levels of parasites, treatment given in early lactation or given as a whole herd treatment in late fall will probably be sufficient.
If cattle are exposed to moderate to high level of parasites, two dewormings per lactation (one at calving and one given later) or two herd treatments per year (one given in late fall and a second six weeks after spring green up) will be necessary to maintain adequate control.
Deworming cows that are harboring parasites at the time of calving will remove the parasites before they begin their greatest period of lactation stress. If parasites are at a moderate to high level the second strategic-timed deworming would be six weeks into lactation.

Timing is Key.

The efficacy and efficiency of a parasite control program is heavily affected by timing. The right pharmaceutical and the right time is a priority. Deworming strategies are designed to control parasites by correctly timing the intervention so that it interrupts the parasites’ life cycle and prevents reinfection. Again, assistance from someone familiar with these techniques is invaluable.

The Bullvine Bottom Line

It is far less expense to deworm cattle than to incur losses from wasted feed, illness or reproduction or replacement costs. Developing a deworming strategy is becoming a fundamental management tool for many profitable dairy operations.

Forget Kate – The Dairy Industry Has Kassidy Upton

· Comments (0)

Tuesday, October 28th, 2014

If you simply read through Kassidy Upton’s resume you could be forgiven if you assumed that she was in her twenties with years of experience contributing to her list of achievements. What a surprise to learn that she is a 15 year old from central Canada and has just entered Grade 10 this fall. She has grown up in an active and close knit family with four siblings in the beautiful Kawartha Lakes region of Ontario, where her family runs Misty Springs – a breeding and milk production Holstein farm. Kassidy graduated from grade 8 with honours, her school letter and an award for overall contribution to school life. She has carried that zest and passion into her high school career and continues to be an honours student in the academic stream. She is an avid skier and has volunteered her time to help teach children to ski at Lakeridge Ski resort through their apprenticeship program. Last season she was a member of the Blue Mountain team as an assistant Pro. This year her personal achievements took a new and interesting turn.

KASSIDY’S First Pageant is The Miss Teen Canada Globe

Sometimes a chance meeting will open doors. That happened for her says Kassidy. “I met Michaela Zinsmiester. She was in the Miss Teen Canada Globe competition last year and she told me about it. When I was asking her questions she suggested that I put an application in for the 2014 pageant.” Although she had no previous experience with this type of competition Kassidy did enter it. “I really didn’t know what to expect. I just wanted to meet other girls from Canada and hoped to have some fun.” She certainly met those expectations but there were many surprises in store for her.

KASSIDY Gets Off to An Amazing Start

You can well imagine that whether it’s in the ring or on the runway, achieving exceptional results doesn’t happen without a lot of hard work. Kassidy confirms that this was true for the Teen Pageant. “There was a lot of work involved in preparing for it. “ She outlines what that consisted of. “I had to develop a complete profile and platform.” However, the work didn’t stop there and she says that the long hours were the biggest surprise. “Michaela had warned me that I wouldn’t get a lot of sleep but I hadn’t expected to be training from 7 am to 3:30 am every day. When you are watching beauty pageants on TV it looks all glamourous but what you don’t see is the hard work and long hours that go into them.” Nevertheless Kassidy rose to the challenge and completed the work. “I felt I was ready.”

KASSIDY is in the National Finals

Indeed Kassidy was ready. She made it to the National Finals. “I was also surprized to make it as far as I did. There were so many beautiful, smart and talented girls in the competition.” Once again she was taken by surprise. “After it was announced that I was in the top 10 I even sent a text message to my Mom in the audience that night saying “OMG MOM!!!’” She knows that her success was built on her preparation as well as another key Kassidy ingredient. “I wasn’t willing to give up.” she declares. “It was exhausting at times but I learned a lot and I got an opportunity to meet some fantastic people.” She didn’t let anything intimidate her. Some of the girls had modelling experience or had been in pageants before and I hadn’t done anything like this.”

KASSIDY is well grounded. Being herself was the key to her success.

Kassidy already has a mature viewpoint on how to present herself. “I don’t know how to be anyone but me, and I just decided that if they didn’t want the person that I am, then it wasn’t the right fit for me. I think that when I look at all the girls who made the top 5 that they really are looking for someone who is an example of a Canadian girl. The title holders need to be someone who all teenage girls can relate to and who is a good representative of what it means to be a Canadian woman. That is how I would describe myself – a typical teenager!”

From the Laneway to the Runway

Kassidy may see herself as typical however many would consider that her path to becoming a pageant competitor was quite unique. “When you grow up on a farm you get used to the fact that if things don’t go your way you can’t just walk away. The work only gets done if you go back and try again.” But although hard work helped it didn’t make it a sure thing. “I’ll be honest. When the Regional assessment was finished, my score was one of the lowest of any girl in Ontario.” She provides some background. “The Regional Assessment takes place in the first three days and this is where you get your training. Throughout the training process you are judged and this determines your Regional score. Your scores are wiped away and you start fresh in the National Pageant. This was my first try at anything like this. So what you have to do is take what you learned during the regional assessment and apply it to the National pageant, which takes place immediately after Regionals.”

She is a Worthy Competitor. Kassidy Learned from Each Step

Not only is Kassidy open about her results but she was bold in other ways too. “Instead of letting my Regional score affect me I went in to the Nationals and decided to show the judges the work I had done prior to the pageant to prepare my profile and all that I had learned during Regional Assessment. I didn’t give up. I think that my background and upbringing is what instilled this attitude. Lots of girls quit after the Regional assessment but I wasn’t going to be one of them.”

Kassidy’s Team Had a Big Impact on Her

The two people who have the greatest influence on me are my mom and dad. My mom and dad have taken care of me my whole life with assistance later on by my step-dad Dominique. They have taught me right from wrong and have strived to see me succeed. They always put positive thoughts in my mind and always push me to my greatest self. They are my parents so of course they have the greatest influence on me because they have been here through thick and thin. They have pushed me to achieve every goal I set. And to set as many goals I can. I don’t think I could ever thank my parents enough for what they do. They are my inspirations.

“I would like to thank Misty Spring Holsteins for being my main sponsor.

Dominque and my Mom have been behind me all the way in this. Everything from helping me to prepare, running me around to events, shopping for my clothes for the pageant, to running supplies down to me. They were in the audience every night that was open to the public.” (Read more: Misty Springs Clearly On Course!)

Having a support group is a great lift when you are competing.

Kassidy confirms how important it was to her. “I had some rough days during the pageant and many people sent me Facebook messages of encouragement and support and that meant a great deal to me. I had several other people who came down to support me on audience choice nights, and the many people who voted for me on line.”

Kassidy Passes the Caring and Sharing Forward

Kassidy goes beyond competition and giving back is a big part of the reason she enjoyed this experience. She has been a member of the local youth group, has a passion for helping people and volunteers her time with the local food bank. “The thought of so many people in this country, especially children, going to bed hungry is incomprehensible.” says this young member of a multi-generational, food providing family. She can often be found pitching in on the family dairy operation and has a definite love of caring for the calves. Kassidy is as comfortable in a pair of work boots as she is in high heels. Her upbeat “can do” attitude shines through in everything she does. In her spare time she loves to paint and draw. Kassidy intends to become an electrician.

A Special Thank You from Kassidy

Building on her experience with a particular charity, Kassidy has a special highlight to share. “Another person who really earned a big thank you from me is a lady by the name of Sandy Norris. She runs our local food bank. It is that charity that I have been working with and that I developed my platform on. She took the time to make sure that I had a solid understanding of every aspect to the food bank’s operations. She made sure I had an opportunity to experience them for myself and, because of her time and effort, I was prepared, knowledgeable and as a result scored very high marks on my platform and interview.”

Kassidy Shares Advice and Encouragement

There are many opportunities that are available for young people who are ready to stretch their limits and try new experiences. Kassidy encourages others to ‘give it a try’ because “You never know how far you can run if you don’t step up to the start line. I never realized that anyone can do this until I talked to Michaela. It is a unique experience and one that will have a lasting impact on me. I have made some great friends from all over the country and some beautiful memories from my 10 days in Toronto.”

What Is Next for Kassidy?

“I’m going into grade 10 to hopefully complete my goal of reaching an average above 80%. I am also going to strive to keep up to MCGP’s expectations by making appearances throughout this coming year and scouting more girls for this experience. I also am seeking to find some modelling opportunities with magazines, stores, companies, etc.” But she is ready to stretch further. “I also plan on supporting the food bank as much as I can because they have been very supportive of me in this pageant and have helped every way they could.” She sums it up with enthusiasm. “I plan on living my normal life but with a few other responsibilities.”

…. And Kassidy’s Story Takes Another Turn

We were just recently updated on the next turn in the growing resume that Kassidy Upton is building. Her mother emailed that they are surprised and delighted that “Kassidy has walked her way into a lead role in a movie that she is shooting right now. It is called Groupies and will be released in 2015 on Netflix.

The Bullvine Bottom Line

We congratulate Kassidy Upton on her unique experiences in competing in the Miss Teen Canada Globe competition. The Bullvine and our readers wish her all the best in utilizing her skills, experience and knowledge not only in the dairy industry, but also in helping others.

Those young ladies looking to get into this can contact Kassidy here.

Sire Report: Val-Bisson Doorman – Opportunity is Knocking

· Comments (0)

Monday, October 27th, 2014

Most of the time when you are evaluating sires they fit into certain market segments. There are those sires that work well for commercial breeders. A different style of animal becomes very popular with the high index seed stock producers. And then there are those sires that get show ring enthusiasts all excited. Very seldom do you find a sire that appeals to all three types of breeders. VAL-BISSON DOORMAN has been able to achieve exactly that.

Doorman debuted with his first genomic proof in the top 10 in the USA for +2439 gTPI. That got the index crowd excited about him. He also had a +4.59 PTAT which caught the attention of many of the show breeders. He also was +4.2 for PL and had a low 2.51 SCS with positive components which made him a great sire for mating programs. That helped him catch fire with commercial breeders. Doorman was indeed making a relatively unknown cow family world famous.

The Story behind Doorman

Elyse and Jean Gendron, like many young breeders from Quebec, had the dream of one day putting a sire into an Artificial Insemination unit. So in 1991, Jean purchased an early Blackstar daughter in Canada, LOGANWAY BLACKSTAR DAILY from Albert Cormier as a bred heifer. Daily went on to score VG 86 as a five year old and produced over 189,122 lbs. in five lactations of 3.7% fat and 3.3% protein. Not yet to bull dam status but certainly Daily started to prove herself as a brood cow as she earned six stars with four VG daughters. It was Daily’s granddaughter, VAL-BISSON RUDOLPH DAKOTA VG-88 9* that would be the first in the family to receive bull dam status by sending a Morty son, VAL-BISSON DOMINGO, and an Inquirer son, VAL-BISSON DRAKAR to Semex. Dakota could also milk. She produced a 365d lactation of 29,974 lbs of milk as a yearling with 3.8%F and 3.3% P and then followed it up with a 2^nd lactation of 365d 31,765 lbs of Milk, 3.8%F 3.3%P. She also was able to prove herself as a brood cow, with 15 classified daughters; 10 scored VG and 4 GP. Most notable of her daughters was VAL-BISSON FINLEY DREAM VG-87-6YR 13* with a superior lactation and 122,285 lbs of lifetime production (4 lactations) of 3.2%f and 3.2% protein. Dream was a very stylish heifer winning 1^st Intermediate Yearling at Pont-Chateau in 2005. It was at that same time that Goldwyn had just received his initial daughter proof, so Else, and Jean flushed Dream as a heifer to Goldwyn producing an EX-91-2E and two VG-88 daughters. They liked that cross so much that, even though these Goldwyn daughters were just heifers, they used Goldwyn again on Dream producing VAL-BISSON GOLDWYN MAYA. Maya would go on to score VG-86 as a six year old and earn 17*.

Gendron’s at this time also took part in CDN’s pilot project for Genomics. Participating in this program, the Gendron’s learned that Maya was the highest of all the Goldwyn daughters from Dream. The highest scoring daughter of Maya was a Shottle daughter, VAL-BISSON SHOTTLE IMELDA, who scored VG-89 as a four year old for her new owners, Ferme Blondin. Dann Brady, Sales and Marketing for Ferme Blodin comments about the purchase of Imelda, “At the time we were wanting to get into genomics but were also looking for the right type and pedigree. Doorman had just received his genomic information, and we were really impressed. We also loved the cow family and thought Imelda would be the one to get us into genomics.” The purchase of Imelda has certainly paid off for Blondin in a significant way, “Imelda is one of the most popular cows on the farm! She currently has a number of embryo contracts and has sold every embryo she makes. Since we showed her earlier this year at the Quebec Spring Show and, with the popularity of Doorman calves around the world and the release of her high type RC son Integral, she has been attracting a lot of attention”, comments Brady. (Read more: FERME BLONDIN “Passion with a Purpose Builds Success”) Before selling Imelda to Blondin in early 2012, Elsye and Jean mated her in late 2010 to Bookmen at the recommendation of Theirry Laberge. The result from that cross was Doorman.

The Story on Doorman’s Evaluation.

Doorman is certainly a sire that has benefited greatly from the introduction of Genomics. His non-genomic parent average would have been +2915 LPI and +2168 TPI with a 12 for Conformation and +2.88 PTAT. Instead, he finds himself over 10% higher on his composite indexes and 40% higher for conformation. It’s that significantly higher evaluation for conformation that has taken Doorman from being a good commercial sire, with high overall index, into a very popular sire for conformation. He is currently #33 of the NAAB Active sires for PTAT and is #14 of those born in 2011 or earlier.

Index and commercial breeders will want to protect Doorman on his overall production (+2018 lbs Milk); He does improve components (+.09F and +.08%P) and will lower SCS (+2.51). He is not a high DPR sire (+0.1 DPR) but has a solid heifer conception rate (+1.2 HCR). He will indeed offer significant type improvement, especially in the mammary systems (+3.17 UDC). Given his success in the show ring, it’s no surprise that he is a high stature and size sire (+3.66 Stature, +2.69 Strength, +2.62 Body Depth). One area where most breeders would want to protect him is on his rump angle, high pins. While certainly very well suited for the show ring, those high pins may be something for commercial and index breeders to watch for. He does have Planet, Shottle, and Goldwyn in his pedigree, so those of you concerned about inbreeding should use Doorman wisely.

Doorman has also been producing some extremely high index progeny. His top genomically tested sons include Ladys-Manor Doors Open (+2619 gTPI) from Ladys-Manor Dorcy Oda TY VG-88 the #2 gTPI cow on the locator list. Males also testing high are Coyne-Farms Doorman Eric (+2541 gTPI) from the MS ElectressVG-88 DOM cow family and EDG Brinkworth Door 8386 (+2517) from the Gen-I-Beq Shottle Bombi EX-92 94-MS cow family. High genomic testing females include Kings-Ransom Doorm Dina from the Kings-Ransom Baxter Dolly TY VG-85 cow family; Silverridge V Doorman Erupt (+2576 gTPI) from the Wabash-Way Evett ET VG-86 cow family and Coyne-Farms Doorman Faith (+2558 gTPI) from the Honeycrest Shottle Faith-ET EX-91 cow family.

The Real Story is in Doorman’s Progeny

What actually has people talking about Doorman these days is not his evaluation but rather his daughters. Breeders love their Doorman calves. In our recently launched dairy breeder discussion group, The Milk House, (Read more: Introducing The Milk House – Dairy Breeder Networking on Facebook) noted cattle dealer Jack Lomeo Jr was asking fellow breeders about what they thought about Doorman daughters and the result was an outstanding endorsement of the sire. With many commenting that their rumps where better than expected, with not as high a pins as his genomic proof would indicate.

Doorman has certainly been generating a lot of conversation as of late, after his strong showing in the heifer classes at the recent World Dairy Expo (Read more: International Holstein Show – World Dairy Expo 2014). Doorman’s silky jet-black calves certainly made a statement in the Spring Heifer class at World Dairy Expo, Butlerview Doorman Class, a daughter of 2 time All-Canadian and All-American, Silvermaple Damion Camomile EX-95, placed 3^rd and her full sister Butlerview Doorman Camo placed 11^th in that same class. Winning the Winter Heifer Calf class was Ms Duckett Dymnt Carissa-ET exhibited by D & N Schirm, Corey Popp, A Gruenes. In the Fall Heifer class, Comestar Lauras Doorman, a great granddaughter of 2006 All-Quebec Jr 2 year old, COMESTAR LAUTAMIE VG-89-2YR-CAN 25* placed 8^th. In the Summer Yearling class another granddaughter of Lautamie’s and one of the earliest Doorman daughters, Comestar Lamadona Doorman placed 7^th for Howard-View Holsteins. In the International Junior Holstein Show at World Dairy Expo, two Doorman daughters, Butlerview Door Camilla and MS Ariannas Door Armani took 1^st and 2^nd in the Winter Heifer Calf Class, they were also 5^th and 6^th respectively in the Open Show. (Read more: International Holstein Show – World Dairy Expo 2014)

With outstanding results in the show ring and with their genomic test, it’s no surprise that many breeders continue to use Doorman heavily. Brady comments “We’ve been using a lot of Doorman and his RC brother Integral. Both of them are two of our top flush bulls at the moment. They make great crosses on a number of different pedigrees, and we really love the Doorman heifers, so he is a key part of our breeding program.” He provides this update. “We currently have the #2 type heifer in the world over +2300 GTPI, who is a Doorman that goes back to Regancrest S Celebrity-EX-94. Her name is Mystique Doorman Cherry. She is on the flush program now, and we are extremely excited about her as she combines Doorman’s family with Barbie and Celebrity’s!”

The Bullvine Bottom Line

Any sire with a sky high genomic test will catch most breeder’s attention. However, it takes outstanding progeny and a very balanced evaluation to become an international sensation that is opening new doors the way Doorman has.

12 Outcross Sires to Help Control Inbreeding

· Comments (0)

Friday, October 24th, 2014

With dairy breeder`s constant objective of breeding the highest genetic index animals possible, inbreeding has become more of a problem than ever. Looking through the top index lists you realize with each new generation of sires that the rate of inbreeding is increasing at an alarming rate.

In 2011, nine bulls sired 50% of the 1,300 young bulls that entered A.I. in North America. A mere 18 bulls sired 50% of the 3,000 that entered A.I. globally. In sires entering AI in 2011, the rate of inbreeding increased 1% that year alone and is now over 7%. That is over 2% higher than it was in 1992 and 5% higher than it was in 1982.

In order to help breeders find outcross sires, the Bullvine has prepared this list of 12 sires that offer the greatest genetic diversity while still offering a high level of genetic gain.

Overall Performance Improvement

If you are looking for an outcross sire that offers balanced improvement for production, durability and health and fertility, you cannot go wrong with these three sires:

Dom *BY

014HO05936
Coyne-Farms Bolton Dom-ET BY
Bolton x Bret CV x Rudolph

DOM offers breed leading overall performance and has no Goldwyn, Shottle, Planet or Oman in the first three generations of his pedigree. He is a carrier of Brachyspina (BY) but Brachyspina is a recessive trait, and, to be an affected calf, both sire and dam must have passed the recessive gene to their offspring. So unless you are mating him to a BY female you should be okay. Dom is a very balanced sire offering strong overall production (+1558 lbs. milk) and solid components (+0.10 %F +0.01 %P) He is also strong for type and durability (+2.75 PTAT, +2.51 UDC, +2.92 FLC) and has solid health and fertility traits. Dom will need to be protected on his straightness of rear legs (posty), as well as his rumps, specifically his pin width.

Dorcy

029HO14142
Coyne-Farms Dorcy-ET BY
Bolton x Bret CV x Rudolph

There is Dom`s better-known full brother Dorcy. Dorcy is proving to be an outstanding longevity improvement sire, both through his sons and daughters. Breeders interested in a Bolton son from an outcross pedigree, top-notch udders, very good feet & legs and functional traits may consider DORCY. Dairy Strength and Rump are only slightly above breed norms. Like Dom he will need to be protected on his straightness of rear legs (posty) as well as his pin width.

Montross

007HO12165
Bacon-Hill Montross-ET TY
Mogul x Bolton x AltaRolex

If you are looking for a high genomic sire that offers overall improvement and is still an outcross, Montross will fit the bill. Montross is a Dorcy grandson (through sire Mogul, who is a Dorcy from a Marsh). As is typically the case with many actual outcross pedigrees, his maternal side is not that well known. However, his dam UNIQUE-STYLE BOLTON MONEY EX-91 DOM has certainly become a popular bull mother, with 15 sons at five different AI units. At +845 NM$ there is no question that MONTROSS will offer an excellent production kick and have enough durability, health and fertility to last. At over two points for UDC and FLC MONTROSS has strong functional type but should be protected for straightness of rear legs and overall frame and capacity traits. However, as we have seen from research in the past, you don’t need extreme frame traits in order to achieve extreme lifetime production. (Read more: She Ain’t Pretty – She Just Milks That Way!).

Production Improvement

For those of you that are more commercially focused or maybe those of you who have not focused enough on production and the milk check is showing it, in addition to Montross, here are our recommendations:

Ruble

029HO13991
Kings-Ransom B Ruble TY
Bolton x Boliver x Bombay

With no Goldwyn, Shottle, Planet or Oman, Ruble is a very unique high production sire. The cow family behind RUBLE features five consecutive generations of AI bull mothers. RUBLE’s five closest dams all produced milk records in excess of 32,000 lbs. RUBLE’s grand dam, Bombay Rale was a tremendous brood cow leaving 6-VG & 4-EX daughters in the herd by seven different sires. RUBLE daughters are moderate stature and dairy. Protect for strength as they can be narrow through the chest. Udders are everything you would expect from the two popular pedigrees. High, wide rear udders, smooth blending foreudders, and a deep seam to carry their high production through many lactations. Daughters track straight with a correct foot, though you need to protect for a slight set to rear legs and protect rumps for pin width.

Predestine

097HO40076
Claytop Js Predestine-ET TY
Jet Stream x Toystory x Boliver

A very popular outcross production sire is Predestine. At +2657 lbs milk and solid components, Predestine offers extreme production improvement. His daughters are durable (+2.8 PL) but not fancy (+1.63 PTAT, +1.68 UDC, +0.69 FLC). You will have to watch him on his SCS, but if you have a low producing solid conformation heifer with a big frame that needs a quick shot of production, Predestine will do just that.

Rocket

526HO00004
Rocket TL TD
Sudan x Freddie x Bolton

A genomic young sire that catches our eye is Rocket. Rocket is a Sudan son from Vieuxsaule Freddie Tanya VG-88, who is a grand daughter of Vieuxsaule Allen Dragonfly EX-94 2E 12* (Read more: VIEUX SAULE ALLEN DRAGONFLY: 2013 Canadian Cow of the Year Nominee). While there is Oman in this pedigree (3^rd generation through Freddie), given that Rocket is sired by Sudan, an extreme outcross sire, and has Bolton and Allen as the maternal great and great great grand sire, Rocket has a very low expected future inbreeding value. Rocket should sire component improvement (+0.09 %F and +0.02 %P) and strong production (1784 lbs milk). He also has the bonus of having very strong health and fertility traits (+3.5 PL, +2.78 SCS). While Rocket has a solid type evaluation (+2.68 PTAT, +2.28 UDC, +2.32 FLC), he will need to be protected on his bone quality and loin strength.

Longevity Improvement

For those of you that are looking to breed cattle that last lactation after lactation or maybe you are having problems with your 2 year olds not coming back for a 2nd lactation, in addition to Dorcy, we recommend the following outcross sires:

Reflector

007HO12105
S-S-I Mogul Reflector TY
Mogul x Super x Ramos

From the same family that produced Bookem, Reflector is an outcross sire that should get much attention. Bred through the ART program at Select Sires that was designed to produce outcross sires, Reflector is a great example of this. (Read more: Select Sires vs. Semex – A Contrast in Cooperatives and Should A.I. Companies Own Females?). At +6.6 for PL and over two points on all type composites (+2.77 PTAT, +2.16 UDC, +2.22 FLC) and at +2.8 DPR and +2.67 SCS, Reflector daughters are going to last. While show ring enthusiasts may not be quick to use Reflector (-7 height at front end, 0 for body depth), he will sire strong mammary systems and feet and leg improvement.

McGucci

179HO00099
Mr Apples McGucci-ET RC TY
McCutchen x Regiment-RED x Durham

From the legendary KHW Regiment Apple-Red-ET CV EX-96 3E DOM, comes McGucci an outcross longevity improvement sire, that you should be taking a look at. (Read more: KHW Regiment Apple-Red – Beauty, performance, and even more record) When Jerry Jorgensen of Ri-Val-Re Holsteins purchased a whole flush from Apple he was looking to produce something a little different and that is exactly what he got when he crossed her on McCutchen. (Read more: BREEDING RI-VAL-RE: Where Looking Good in the Stall Is Just As Important As Looking Good On Paper). While McGucci will not be considered an overall production improver, he does offer solid component improvement (+0.27%F and +0.16 %P), with high durability (+3.4 PL) and very high conformation (+4.03 PTAT, +3.20 UDC, +3.78 FLC), with solid health traits (+2.77 SCS, +0.01 DPR). He will need to be protected on his shortness of teats and high pins.

Deligent

147HO02426
Ronelee Dorcy Deligent-ET BY
Dorcy BY x Boliver x Outside

Combining two popular outcross pedigree`s, Deligent is a longevity improvement sire that you should consider using. His dam Ronelee Boliver Dreary-ET VG-86 2Y is a maternal sister to the popular, proven sire Domain. Deligent was bred to deliver long lasting daughters. With outstanding Herd Life/Productive Life, breed leading mammary systems scores and strong Feet and Legs scores, Deligent is a longevity specialist, though he does need to be somewhat protected for dairy strength. Look for DELIGENT to combine this longevity with reliable production and type numbers.

Health and Fertility Improvement

One area that is starting to get more attention by most breeders is health and fertility. While there is no question that every breeder knows that more pregnancies equals more profits, many of the top ranking sires actually have negative values for key health and fertility traits. In addition to Reflector and Predestine, here are three outcross sires that will help you improve the health and fertility in your herd.

Aaron-Red

007HO10647
Ladinodale Aaron-Red-ET TY
LB P-Red x Paradox-RED x Rudolph

If you are looking for an outcross sire that will help improve the health traits in your herd, you need to consider Aaron-Red. While he is certainly not a production improvement sire (+17 lbs Milk), he does offer some significant improvement in productive life (+3.7), DPR (+2.3) as well as calving ease (+4.8% SCE & 4.7% DCE). Aaron offers reliable type improvement (+2.01 PTAT, +2.06 UDC and +1.53 FLC). He will need to be protected on his high pins and overall dairy strength.

Howard

029HO13566
Brandt-View Howard-ET TY
Alton CV x Capri x Manfred

This reliably proven Alton son is from a 2E-92 Capri (by JUROR) with a top record of almost 58,000 in one lactation. The family is consistently noted for their extreme production values, consistent type and excellent health/fitness traits. Howard daughters are profit makers. They increase milk production while lowering SCS to qualify for milk premiums and possess outstanding health and fertility numbers (+3.3 PL, +1.2 DPR, 3.9% SCE). Typical Howard daughters are clean boned, hardworking and moderate sized and long necked, open in the rear rib and very clean through the thigh. Rear udders are high, wide, and capacious. He will need to be protected on his overall size and stature as well as his dairy strength.

AltaBowie

011HO11116
Rosylane-Llc Altabowie TY
Bowser x Ramos x O Man

Yes there is O Man in AltaBowie`s pedigree, but considering that he is sired by Bowser (Jet Stream x Boliver) and his dam is a Ramos daughter, AltaBowie has very low expected future inbreeding values (5.9%). From the exceptional breeding program at Rosy-Lane Holsteins (Read more: ROSY-LANE HOLSTEINS – “Don’t Follow the Herd!”), AltaBowie offers many plusses. He is +1419 for lbs milk (though low fat %), durable type (+7.6 PL), and high DPR (+3.6) and low calving ease (4.2% SCE and 3.7% DCE). While his conformation break down will not wow you (+1.44 PTAT, +1.67 UDC and +1.90 FLC), he is correct where he needs to be, (Udder depth, fore and rear attachments, as well as foot angle and heal depth). He will certainly need to be protected on his dairy strength and rumps.

The Bullvine Bottom Line

Genetic diversity is a critical problem in the Holstein dairy cattle breeding industry. Indeed the rate of genetic gain has accelerated. But so too has the rate of inbreeding. With $23 lifetime cost per percent inbreeding, it is easy to overreact and try to avoid inbreeding at all costs. The trick is not to use sires that are inferior, but rather to have a balance of genetic improvement and enough of an outcross not to accelerate the inbreeding. These 12 sires will do just that and help control the rate of inbreeding in your herd.

Get Ready. Get Set. It’s Time for a Better Dairy Winter Feeding Program!

· Comments (0)

Thursday, October 23rd, 2014

As the fields give up their harvest, it’s time to look ahead to what feed is available for the dairy herd for the coming fall and winter. Is a plan in place for how you will use your homegrown forages? Is there enough? What purchased feed will you need to cover anticipated shortfalls?

Before closing the file or deciding to make purchases, there are two steps without which all of your planning could end up going nowhere. These steps are ones that you cannot skip, ignore or overlook.

FIRST: Sample all forages and submit them for testing.

The success of your feeding program depends on knowing the exact nutrient content of your forage. This is where you begin to balance rations. Send samples to a forage testing laboratory. An often missed consideration is that you must make sure that the samples are fermented before having them sampled. However, testing doesn’t end there. Don’t bypass ongoing testing throughout the feeding season. “Single samples often do not accurately represent the nutrient content of feeds sampled.” Keep an up-to-date inventory of all forages, their source (i.e. what hybrid they are from) their storage location and current amount. According to nutritionists, an area that is often almost always overlooked, is that of keeping accurate records of home grown inventories.

SECOND: Using forage analyses Balance Rations for all Groups of Cattle

Of course, before you can balance the rations, you must determine how you will group your herd for feeding. Different age groups, stages, have different needs and meeting them in the best way possible is always the goal. You will have specific requirements for fresh heifers under four months into lactation and for early lactation, high-production and dry cows.

Stringent protocols for measuring wet feeds need to be in place as well. Dry matter contents can vary tremendously depending on the storage structure, load or storage time. Changes in the amount added to the TMR mixer can only be accurately determined if the dry matter has been measured at least weekly. More often is better.

NINE MORE WAYS to Get the Most Output from Your Feed Program Inputs

Once you have sampled all your forages, balanced the rations to meet your particular goals there are

Specific areas that you can fine tune to improve your fall and winter dairy feeding program.

Study the Financial Variables
There is so much volatility in commodity prices that farmers must make it one of their jobs to constantly monitor ingredient prices and re-evaluate feeding programs. Keeping up with suggested changes by feed and nutrition experts can also have a positive impact by decreasing feed costs and positively affecting cash flow. Some changes may also positively affect the impact on the environment.
Provide Optimum Access
The milking dairy herd should have the maximum opportunity to consume the nutrients they need for production. Ideally access should be available 20 to 22 hours daily, with no more than two hours in a holding pen. Multiple meals = optimum intake.
Feed on Schedule
Cows are creatures of habit. Being fed a ration they are familiar with and getting it at the same time every day is the consistency that will yield results. Observe daily or weekly refusal to assess the consumption by the group of cows. Discuss any problems with the nutritionist.
Improve Feed Bunk Management
Feed should be provided along the entire feed bunk at each feeding. Feed should not be heating in the feed bunk. Uneaten feed should be removed on a daily basis from the feed bunk. If you are feeding for an empty bunk, then feeding times will have to be adjusted accordingly and will require monitoring throughout the day.
Properly Allocate Feed to Groups
Determine the group that can return the most profit from the forage. Early location and high production groups will yield the most profit from the highest quality forage. Mid to late lactation cow groups are the place for lower quality forages.
Hygiene has High Importance
Waterers must be kept clean. This should be done multiple times throughout the week and then, once a week, use a brush and weak chlorinated solution (1 cup household bleach to 5 gallons of water). Rinse thoroughly after cleaning.
Keeping the face on the bunker clean and maintaining all silage storage structures will prevent heating and ensure the quality of the feed being fed.
Manage Facilities
Avoid overcrowding. Provide bunk space at a ratio of 24 inches of space per cow. For fresh and close-up dry cow groups increase the bunk space per cow to 36 inches and one freestall or 100 square feet per cow.
Aim for a temperature humidity index below 68. Use fans when temperatures rise above 65 to 70 degrees F
Equipment Maintenance
TMR mixers should be regularly maintained. Both over-filling and under mixing must be avoided. Mixers need servicing, and adjustment for the feeds being added and additions should be done in the correct amounts and order for the particular mixing. The use of a tool such as the Penn State Particle Size box can evaluate mixes. Watch that the forage particle is consistent over the whole bunk.
Teamwork
Everyone who has involvement with the production and delivery of the cattle nutrition program needs to be on the same page. Nutritionists and other consultants will work with your detailed information to develop and modify your feeding program. Although everyone will have a different level of expertise, the combined dialogue is critical, if you’re program is to be successful, sustainable and profitable.

Are you Doing a Great Job? Okay! Now Get READY for NEXT SEASON!

Using forage analyses, review whether your harvest techniques have resulted in the highest-quality forages that are needed to feed high-producing dairy cows. If not then you need to make changes. Next, complete a plan to incorporate these changes into next year’s cropping season.

Crop variety to consider.
Harvest time. Are you harvesting at the proper stage of crop maturity and proper moisture concentration?
Is your harvesting method having a positive or negative impact on your forages? Are you using your equipment properly? Could you get better results by hiring a custom operator?
Do you have the proper fertility for the planted crop? Are the nutrients provided to your crops available at the right time during the growing season?

The Bullvine Bottom Line

Dairy cattle produce best when they have the proper nutrients to support their health, production levels and growth. It can positively affect your bottom line if you make modifications to your feeding program that prevent problems and enhance the nutritional intake of your milking herd. Nothing is more important to your bottom line than feeds and feeding.

US Genetic Evaluation Changes: Are You Keeping Up?

· Comments (0)

Tuesday, October 21st, 2014

There is an old saying about “Keeping up with the Joneses”. The term is often attached to things that happen in high society, but it can also be attached to the purchase of material things. Three decades ago it was installing a home swimming pool. Ten to fifteen years ago it was making sure that your children were introduced to the use of a computer. Recently it has been joining Facebook? Well, dairy cattle breeding is not exempt from change. Today The Bullvine wishes to overview and provide some comments about keeping up with the changes in genetic indexes for December 2014 recently announced by the Council On Dairy Cattle Breeding (CDCB). For readers interested in exact details, they can go to https://www.cdcb.us/New/News.htm.

Weekly Genomic Evaluations

The first thing to take note of is that genomic indexes will be available every Tuesday (8 am Eastern Time) for animals that have had their analysis completed in the past week. These weekly released indexes will be approximate as they will not be a full run of the evaluation system. Then once a month the full evaluation will be done and released on the first Tuesday of the month. Some breeders will ask ‘Why do an approximation? Just release the results monthly’. There are two reasons for this move: 1) The work flow at the analysis lab can be evened out throughout the month; and 2) Breeders can select, sell or cull animals (or embryos) earlier thereby minimizing the expense of raising calves.

Be Clear About the Release Date

For buyers, using genomic evaluation results, it will be important that they ask for the date of release of the results. It is entirely likely that this change to weekly genomic releases will create confusion until breeders are aware that weekly releases are approximations and until CDCB irons out any wrinkles there may be at the start. As well buyers interested in knowing how close to the top of an elite list that an animal is will need to do extra checking. I think we all knew that in time there would be more and more frequent reporting of animal’s genetic indexes. Dairy cattle breeding is faster every year that’s what happens when genetic advancement is rapid. Breeders need to make sure that they ask if an animal tops the list at the time of the official releases in Dec, April or August, or at the time of the nine other monthly releases, or on a weekly release. Make sure you ask for the release date.

Base Roll

Every five years the base to which all animals are compared is updated. In December, the base will change to all cows born in 2010 from all cows born in 2005. On the CDCB website, the changes for all traits and all breeds are listed. Table 1 lists are some of the changes in indexes breeders can expect for Holsteins and Jerseys both of which have made significant genetic improvement from 2005 to 2010.

Table 1 – Index Changes That Will Occur in December 2014

	Holstein	Jersey
Net Merit $	-184	-124
Protein (lbs)	-12	-12
Fat (lbs)	-17	-19
Milk (lbs)	-382	-327
Productive Life (months)	-1	-0.8
SCS	0.07	-0.04
DPR	-0.2	0
CE	0.4	n/a
DCE	1.6	n/a
UDC	-0.92	-0.33
FLC	-0.78	-0.15
BDC	-0.61	-0.15
Final Score	-0.99	-0.53

Breeders can expect that bulls and cows will have their genetic indexes lowered. The relative rank of animals, of course, will not change. All animals will be affected to the same degree. Bulls that were $700 NM will now be $516 NM. A base change time is an excellent time for breeders to re-evaluate the minimum values they will require bulls or replacement females to meet.

NM$ Index

Based on the up-to-date facts on genetic merit of the USA dairy populations and the economics of dairy farming in the USA, researchers at USDA-AIPL have fine-tuned the Net Merit index formula. Table 2 provides a comparison of the traits included and their weights for the formula used from 2010 to 2014 and the new formula for 2015.

Table 2 – Traits and Weights * in NM$

	2010	2015**
Milk	0	-1
Fat	19	22
Protein	16	20
PL	22	19
SCS	-10	-7
UDC	7	8
FLC	4	3
BDC	-6	-5
DPR	11	7
CCR	0	2
HCR	0	1
CA$	5	5

* A negative value indicates that a higher rated animal impacts negatively on NM$
** Indexes that will be issued on December 02, 2014

The changes may not seem major, but it should be noted that the emphasis on production traits are increasing from 35% to 43%. This is similar to the change in emphasis that will occur in TPI in December (link to MSH’s article on changes for TPI). Breeders can expect that there will be re-ranking of bulls for NM$ especially for bulls that either excel or are below average for their production traits indexes. Animals that excelled for SCS, PL and DPR, can be expected to fall back relative to other animals in the breeding population. Breeders should take time to go through the new rankings in December before ordering semen, purchasing embryos or replacement females.

A New Grazing Index

Based on breeder requests, CDCB will be producing a fourth total merit index called Grazing Merit (GM$). The three previous total merit indexes, Net, Cheese and Fluid will remain in place. GM$ will take into account the needs of grazing herds and reflect the need in those herds for high fertility and seasonal calving cycles. With the move, in some regions or countries, to have the cows harvest their own forage and the production of milk during the growing season, this index is sure to get serious consideration.

Fertility Indexes

As noted in Table 2 heifer and cow conception rate genetic indexes are now included in the NM$ formula. The rationale is, of course that a conception must take place before there is a pregnancy. Fertility will no longer be solely DPR. As well the methodology for determining DPR will change with more information incorporated into the calculation. Breeders can expect that for some sires, there may be changes in their DPR as the correlation between the previous and the December DPR proofs is only 0.97.

New Genetic Evaluation Software

The new software has been used for calculating all fertility indexes since December 2013. This change in software will not be as obvious to breeders. The software in use previously was implemented in 1989. Since then, computational strategies and methodologies have been significantly enhanced. Extensive comparisons have shown that, for the daughter proven sires, the correlation between the evaluation results for the new and old software is 0.995. That is very high. However for cows and genomically and parent average evaluated animals, there may be some changes due to a software change.

Sign Up to Learn More

Holstein USA wants all breeders, regardless of which breeds they have in their herd, to have the latest details before December 02. They will be doing that by hosting a webinar on November 13 at 1 pm Eastern Time. Details on the webinar can be found by going to http://www.holsteinusa.com and on the home page will be found a link to the webinar. Click on the link – people wishing to participate in the webinar will need to register. Interested people should register early.

The Bullvine Bottom Line

It is recommended that breeders take the time after the indexes are released on December 02 to go through the official listings with the goal of objectively selecting the animals, especially sires, which best meet their breeding plan. (Read more: What’s the plan?). We say objectively because it could well be that a sire you were using this fall no longer ranks high enough for you to continue to use him. However, it is not only sires that we must be objective about. Some previously high donor females may also drop. However, there will also be animals that go up in their rank position in their breed.

Even though our first reaction may be to say that the new index is wrong, we must remember that the researchers have worked hard to bring the industry more accurate information so dairy breeders can continue to move their herds forward genetically — as rapidly as possible! Making it possible to keep up with the Joneses!!

Was the Genomic Investor Boom Nothing More than a Big Ponzi Scheme?

· Comments (0)

Monday, October 20th, 2014

So the other day I was reading about a Ponzi scheme that had gone wrong and it got me to thinking whether the rapid increase in the value of high index genomic females was nothing more than a big Ponzi scheme?

First let’s look at what the definition of a Ponzi scheme is. A Ponzi scheme is a fraudulent investment operation where the operator, an individual or organization, pays returns to its investors from new capital paid to the players by new investors, rather than from profit earned by the player. Operators of Ponzi schemes usually entice new investors by offering higher returns than other investments, in the form of short-term returns that are either abnormally high or unusually consistent.

Now first let’s be clear that I am not directly implicating anyone as intentionally setting up a Ponzi scheme in the sale of breeding stock. However, when I look at how the prices of high genomic heifers kept going up and up, yet the actual income from these animals had not yet been realized, it certainly does have some similarities. In less than a two-year period, we saw the price of a high-end heifer go from $30,000 to more than ten times that. All of this in a period where those animals would not have had the time to realize that level of income. So these operations that were brokering these purchases had to keep flipping more and more animals in order to keep the cash flowing. The challenge was that eventually the amount of new money coming in to fund the level of return that the early investors were expecting was not enough. Some of the early investors started wondering if they would ever see their money back. This led to a mass panic among those who were in it for the short term as their confidence began to crumble. When this took place, we saw the prices paid for these top animals drop significantly.

It’s important to understand the business model that many of these investors were following. There were really only two sources of revenue for them: A) producing high genomic females and selling them and B) Semen royalties from AI companies. The challenge is that, in order to play the game, they could not sell off their top genomic index females. Furthermore due to no new money in the marketplace, there was no one willing to buy the 2^nd tier females that they wanted to sell. At one point, some of these genetic programs were selling off very high, but not topper females, at $2,000 or $3,000 less than the cost of producing them. Thus, they were actually losing money on them. Then came the second part of the equation. Instead of realizing insane royalties from selling semen from the sires in their programs, many of these companies did not get enough in royalties to even cover their own expenses. On top of that they were not even getting enough return to cover the cost of producing the 6-7 other progeny that, unfortunately, would never be profitable. Combine these factors with the high cost of IVF and these companies found themselves losing money. The expected profits promised to investors were non-existent. Interestingly, along the way, as those who were looking for a short term get rich plan started to took their losses and cashed out, , other players came into the market to buy these animals at pennies on the dollar. Most notably among these other players were many of the large AI companies. Unlike the investor money that started the speculation, the AI companies did have a direct line to long term return through semen sales. They were more than happy to acquire these females at significantly less than the cost it would be to buy the bulls. This not only caused losses from the sale of females, but also led to even lower royalties being paid out by the AI companies/ AI companies could now produce their own bulls at a fraction of the cost. Sure they may not be getting the #1 TPI sire, but they were able to produce sires that were high enough for the commercial producer and do it at a fraction of the cost.

The Bullvine Bottom Line

I sincerely don’t believe that anyone ever started out on this genomic investment boom with the plan of initiating a Ponzi scheme. However, based on how the events unfolded, and the way the market responded, that is exactly what happened. When they first started the business model seemed sound, but with one crucial, and ultimately incorrect assumption. That assumption was that the money would come from semen sales. That never happened and the significant investment in high genomic index females, combined with the high costs of producing the next generation of high index females, led to greater and greater cash outlays with no money coming back. Eventually, when the money runs out, investors come looking for an answer. The problem is the only answer “Oops we did not see that coming”. Those are words no investor ever wants to hear.

The Bullvine Breeder’s Cup – The Results

· Comments (0)

Thursday, October 16th, 2014

The votes are in and the tally is complete on the inaugural Bullvine Breeders Cup. Our search for the best-kept secret has discovered the following amazing cows:

3rd Place – Sunset Canyon Militia Liza GP-84

Date of Birth: 12/2/2007
Lactations: 4
Submitted by: Francois Vermette
Breeder’s Comments: Liza is a cow with who it’s easy and fun to work. She will have 7 years old in December and will give her fifth calf in September 2014.She has a gold award and a silver award for her production record in Jersey breed. She will finish her fourth lactation with calving and 3 flush, we got 19 progeny including 4 sons in AI sold in three different studs and 6 daughters in milk including 1 VG 87 USA, 3 VG and 2 GP in Canada. 3 of her daughters have sons in AI and over 90% of the heifers at the farm who come from Liza have contracts in AI. We got 2 times the first jersey heifer in Canada on GLPI list with a grand and a great granddaughter of Liza. In April 2014, 5 of her descendants are in the top 10 GLPI jersey heifers in Canada (under 9 months) and 13 in the top 85.Her 3 oldest daughters also had silver or gold award for their milk performance by Jersey Canada. It’s a high fertility family who has high flush results and embryos exported in Australia and USA. They are also easy to put Liza and her offspring’s in calf. That’s a lot of reasons that Liza could be nominated for the Bullvine breeder Cup!

2nd Place – Voight-Acres Daisy Duke-TW EX-94

Date of Birth: 5/16/2004
Lactations: 6
Submitted by: Cole Voight
Breeder’s Comments: I’m nominating Voight-Acres Daisy Duke-TW EX-94. She’s my ideal cow for longevity and high lifetime production. Daisy Duke has a welded on udder, after having 6 calves, her udder is still well above her hocks. She has sound feet and legs and she’s all dairy strength! Daisy Duke is a Linjet from an EX-91 Durham, which was Res. Grand Champion at the Wisconsin State Fair Jr. Show. Daisy Duke also has an EX-93 twin sister.

1st Place – Jaspers Shottle Julianna EX-91

Date of Birth: 11/7/2009
Lactations: 3
Submitted By: Devin Jaspers
Breeder’s Comments: Every dairyman/woman wants a “correct” or balanced cow, they produce and stay healthier. It’s the key to longevity. Julianna is as balanced as they come standing at an even 60″ tall producing a plus in the herd for almost three lacerations only her stature keeps her from the show ring. But Julianna would work in any management system and excel. Julianna’s 4th dam was our first VG cow that we purchased when we started registering and getting away from grades only. Her Grandmother was our first homebred cow scoring EX 92 3E. Her mother a VG 88 Goldwyn. She scored EX as a very young 4yr YR and moved to EX 91 with more days in milk. The dairyman’s dream cow is why this Breeder’s cup is right up Julianna alley/stall!!

The Bullvine Bottom Line

We would like to thank all of those who submitted their animals, and to those who voted on Facebook as well on on our website. Congratulations goes out to Francois Vermette, Cole Voight and Devin Jaspers on their success with these animals.

Life or Death on the Dairy Farm – Nature is cruel, we don’t have to be!

· Comments (0)

Wednesday, October 15th, 2014

Death is part of dairy farming. The National Animal Health Monitoring surveys estimate the death loss of adult cows on dairy farms to be 5 percent, with pre-weaning heifer deaths averaging 7.8 percent and post-weaning heifer losses at 1.8 percent. As these statistics indicate, death is an unfortunate reality of dairy farming. Deciding when euthanasia is necessary and how to do it humanely is a serious consideration for al livestock handlers and veterinarians.

Having said that, euthanasia isn’t just an on-farm issue.

Consumers are part of the equation. They are increasingly concerned about all aspects of how their food is grown or raised. The majority of consumers have no real connection to the farm, making it essential to open up discussion. Euthanasia, although an unpleasant task, is an inevitable component of animal husbandry. It is necessary to establish a dialogue between agriculture and consumers and openly discuss why euthanasia is an essential and humane aspect of animal welfare.

If you work with livestock, you have to have the equipment and training to conduct euthanasia efficiently and effectively.

These are the first steps and will help minimize the apparent stress associated with carrying out this necessary act. The goal is always to prevent the unnecessary suffering of dairy animals. Working with a veterinarian you can set up operating procedures for your dairy farm. Yearly review and ongoing training will be necessary as part of your herd health program

Make Sure You’re Using The Most Up-To-Date Euthanizing Information

As with most livestock handling procedures, the methods used are continuously being reviewed and revised. “There are not only right and wrong ways to euthanize dairy cows, but the guidelines for humane killing were recently revised,” say Jan Shearer of Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine and James Reynolds of Western University College of Veterinary Medicine.

There are many excellent resources for learning about euthanasia. The AVMA (American Veterinary Medical Association) has classified euthanasia techniques as “acceptable,” meaning methods that consistently produce a humane death when used as the sole means of euthanasia; and “acceptable with conditions,” meaning methods that require certain conditions to be met to consistently produce a humane death. These may carry greater potential for human error or safety hazard and may require a secondary step to ensure death.

Establish Criteria for Decision Making

Animals that should be considered for humane euthanasia include:

Severely lame animals that do not respond to treatment or are in severe pain, especially if the foot or leg is extremely swollen.
Animals that cannot stand.
Animals that are not responding to treatment.
Animals with broken bones or severe injuries.
Animals with disease conditions for which no effective treatment is known (i.e. Johne’s disease, lymphoma).
Animals with diseases that involve significant threat to human health (i.e. rabies).

Euthanasia Dos and Don’ts

Do involve your veterinarian to create a euthanasia program, so you and your employees understand the correct way to induce a “good death” that causes no pain or distress for your animal.
Don’t cull sick animals as a way to “get rid of them.” The public does not want to consume infected cows especially if they have been treated with medications. Do not sell animals that may have violated drug residues.
Don’t leave ailing or suffering animals to die.
Don’t drag a non-ambulatory animal. “That is unacceptable,” says Iowa State University’s Jan Shearer. If the animal that is to be euthanized is ambulatory and can be moved without causing distress, discomfort or pain, consider moving it to an area—before euthanization—where the carcass may be more easily reached by removal equipment.
Do recognize that euthanasia is not a procedure that all persons are mentally or emotionally able to perform.
Do provide adequate training for euthanasia and support for individuals faced with this task.
Source: Euthanasia Done Right

Proper Euthanasia Methods

There are only three approved methods of euthanasia for cattle, and they are: IV injection of a pentobarbital (a drug your veterinarian must administer), gunshot, or captive bolt. All other methods are not appropriate. It is important to note that all of these methods must be done correctly in order for it to be considered a humane euthanasia. Downloadable materials on cattle euthanasia.

Death of an animal can be a time to review what went wrong. It is necessary to evaluate your death rate in adults and heifers with your veterinarian. It is important to determine if there is a treatment failure, a problem with not intervening with treatment soon enough or a problem with not euthanizing the animal when she is suffering and instead letting her die an inhumane death. Consumers who have pets understand euthanasia is a humane choice for a suffering animal. It is important that euthanasia be given proper consideration on dairy farms.

Many farms, regardless of size, need to establish protocols for euthanasia.

Breeding, treating with medications, milking routines, and managing calving problems are examples of common protocols. Proper humane euthanasia is often a protocol that is overlooked, but it is one that is crucial to the consuming public. Every farm should work with their veterinarian to develop a proper Euthanasia Protocol and evaluate its implementation on a regular basis.

“The public is concerned about animal welfare, and their perception has a strong influence on today’s agricultural policies and industry standards.”

Notes Dr. Suzanne Millman of Iowa State University. She adds. “The more confidence the public has in animal agriculture’s programs to safeguard animal care, the less likely we are to see them legally regulate our policies.” Determining when to euthanize an animal and the most humane method to do it aren’t the only concerns. Those within the livestock industry must be cautious of the language used to avoid appearing or becoming insensitive.”

Temple Grandin, renowned advocate for the proper care and handling of animals, states that “Nature is cruel, we don’t have to be.”

Humane euthanasia should be a written protocol on all of our dairy farms. One conference participant goes a step further “Every cow on our farms should come with an “end-of-life-plan.” Meaning that costs associated with a humane and respectful last few weeks of her life need to be accounted for when we take on the responsibility of bringing her onto our farm”

The Bullvine Bottom Line

Unfortunately, death does occur on dairy farms, and we all need to be careful not to become “desensitized” to it. Euthanasia is part of the hard decisions that need to be taken with the goal of providing a gentle ending.

High Heels and Work Boots – You are what you wear!

· Comments (0)

Tuesday, October 14th, 2014

Barn-appropriate attire has certainly changed over the years. Overalls, coveralls, boots and the iconic farm hat have defined ‘looking like a farmer’. The options available are weatherproof, waterproof and, if I had my way, they would be smell-proof and self-cleaning too. Regardless of what dairy folks choose to work in, we make our choices of what’s appropriate based on the job we are doing. There are no extra points given for fashion when cleaning stalls, filling feed bunkers or helping with a calf delivery in pouring rain in a muddy field. Dust, dirt and manure are ever present and ready to turn our country fresh style into downright dank and dirty.

While most dairy folks make excellent clothes choices for barn conditions, the ones we make in public, at meetings or in the show rings are sometimes questionable. What side of the fashion line are you on?

Ring, Booth and Barn Clothes are Broadcasting Your Farm Message

Clothes make a strong visual statement regardless of the industry you work in. Comfort and serviceability, boots and barn hats may serve their purpose in the barn. Unfortunately, some might think wearing them directly to a meeting not only saves time but sends a message that you’re a hard working dairy professional. Well. Not so much. You want your co-workers and potential customers to take you seriously. They should not smell where you’re coming from.

Should Farmers Dress for Success?

Yes, they should. Something as superficial as how you’re dressed does make a difference. Is there something clinging to your boots or pants from your last walk through the barn. Does your grooming and basic hygiene suggest that you have become “nose blind” to those country smells that city folk are not so familiar with? Maybe we are too familiarized with the messy side of our work day and forget that the uninitiated, who are also dairy consumers, are a little more fidgety about where there food comes from and what and who it comes into contact with. We have all seen how bad publicity over animal treatment can reflect on an entire industry. Wardrobe malfunctions can hurt too. It is always better to represent the industry as a professional whose outfit does not harm public perception of the people who produce or come into contact with the animals and food they eat..

Looking like a Farmers Starts with Who, What and Wear!

You can’t not communicate. Everything you do makes some kind of statement.

The old saying, “You can’t judge a book by its cover” may be true, but book jacket and product packaging designers around the world have created an industry betting that people will judge and purchase products based on how they look.

Things move incredibly fast today. Only things that catch our eye capture our attention. That goes for magazine ads, product packaging and, of course, people. Because we are so busy, looks count for a lot more than they used to. Like it or not, we are under a lot more scrutiny and looks make the first and most lasting impression.

We at The Bullvine make a big deal about the need to tell the story of farming in a positive way. However, before any of that story can come into play, we must get past the first impression. Whether we like it or not, that starts with your appearance. That first wave of impressions severely impacts perceptions of capability and credibility. Positive or negative that is what will stop you or start you moving forward.

“Dress for the ribbon you want”

If there were dairy ring fashion advisors, no doubt they would advise their clients to dress for the ribbon they want – in the same way job counselors tell you to dress for the job you and not the one you already have. When we stand at exhibit hall booths, or visit farms with our advice or products or simply converse with the public at a show, meeting or in the grocery story, we are evaluated by our appearance. It is important to “look the part”. There is no value in dressing low key in some misguided idea that it sends a humbler, more low key message. It simply says you don’t care.

You are What You Wear to the Show Ring!

To be fair, most dairy people display common sense when making their fashion statements in the show ring. Creativity is, usually, restricted to belt buckles for the guys and belts with bling and pants with sequined pockets for the girls. However, sometimes we witness some fashion statements which draw less positive attention to “those farmers”. If attention on yourself is more important to you than the animal you are leading, you might want to reconsider why you are in the ring in the first place.

First Do No Harm

When in the public eye either in the show ring or at a commercial booth – either buying or selling — the primary rule to observe is “first do no harm: The harm referred to is what happens right after split second decisions are made. While a showring Judge is unlikely to be affected by unprofessional, too tight, too revealing or unbecoming ring-wear, the audience has a great deal of time to ask themselves, “Is that the best they could do?” And then there’s the fact that you yourself are affected when your clothing is a distraction. We put countless hours preparing our animals for the best few minutes of their lives under scrutiny from a dairy judge who, in most cases, is formally dressed befitting the level of attention being given to selecting the top animals in each category.

Put Your Best Foot Forward

Dressing for success presents your true potential. It’s like putting your “best foot forward.”

Like it or not, most of us carry subconscious thoughts about what is acceptable or not. Especially in the workplace or when doing business. When given the choice between a well-dressed person and one in sloppy clothes with unkempt hair, the public, the judge or the possible client will choose the former… hands down

Although we loudly proclaim that looks should not make a difference …One advisor suggests this test. Wear your “barn” clothes to the bank one time and “professional farmer” clothes the next time. Pay attention to the difference in the attention you receive. Even though, we may protest, we are constantly judged on our appearance. And admit it. We do it too!

Start by Keeping it Covered!

We have all seen the outfit that looks great when the person is standing but becomes way too revealing when the wearer is seated on a chair at ringside or, worse yet, on a raised platform or stage. Too revealing works with tops too. It would be great if we all had perfectly toned bodies. We don’t. At the very least, keep it covered. Avoid cleavage displays, midriff tops and informal sheer T-shirts and butt views

Dairy Do’s, Don’ts and Dress Codes

In the dairy world, not all fashions are created equal. We’ve seen some pretty cringe worthy looks in our day. Here are some examples from the ring, exhibition hall and ag meetings that deserve a spot in the Don’t Hall of Fame!

Skin Tight Pants. Thank goodness that, in general, they are a thing of the past. At best, they are uncomfortable at their worst they provide a severe case of TMI.
Too much cleavage. If it isn’t right for the grocery store, it isn’t right for the red carpet, show ring or presentation ceremony.
Too much color. In most dairy show rings, white and black are the best choices. For show ring photographers, many shows request all black clothing. The focus (pun intended) is meant to be on the cows.
Too much glitter. So far this season, too much bling has not made it to the winners circle. My informal study indicated that glitter belts rarely place above sixth.
Keep your wardrobe malfunctions out of the news. With instant sharing through social media your wardrobe slip-ups or fallouts could go viral. It’s how you handle these wardrobe malfunctions that will determine whether you’re dressed for success or seen at less than your best.

The Bullvine Bottom Line

A well put together outfit sends the message that you pay attention to detail. It suggests if you put so much effort into your image, you’re probably just as meticulous in your work. If how you look is sending a message…. what are you saying about dairy farmers?

Best Practices when Buying New Technology for Your Dairy Operation

· Comments (0)

Monday, October 13th, 2014

Last week, while, at World Dairy Expo, I took the opportunity to attend a seminar presented by Jeffrey Bewley from the University of Kentucky. His topic was New Monitoring Technologies May Help Manage Cow Reproduction and Health. Before Dr. Bewley started I wondered what his take home message would be and if it would have been better for me to attend another seminar on breeding for feed efficiency. With more than one topic of interest going on simultaneously and not being able to clone myself, it meant that a choice had to be made. I will need to catch up on the materials shared on feed efficiency via electronic means however the ideas shared by Dr. Bewley struck a desirable note for me.

New Technologies Leading Change

Dr. Bewley started his presentation by stating “Technologies are quickly changing the shape of the dairy industry across the globe. In fact, many of the new technologies being applied to the dairy industry are variations of base technologies used in larger industries such as an automobile or personal electronic industries. These new technologies will continue to change the way dairy cattle are managed, bred and fed.”

Dr. Bewley’s presentation focused on numerous devices that are being connected simultaneously to cows in the University of Kentucky herd to measure performance, reproduction and animal health. Individual cows have more than one device attached to them so that the data captured can be inter-related. He strongly stressed that knowing single observations without knowing other measurements on a cow does not make the dairyman’s job easier. In fact, it makes it harder. Lots of data but no way of linking a piece of information from one device to another does not help make better decisions. In Dr. Bewley’s words “data is only useful if it translates into meaningful actions that herd managers can apply”.

Which Device(s) to Invest In?

The number of devices mentioned, by Dr. Bewley that the team at the University of Kentucky are testing was overwhelming. However, Dr. Bewley did provide thoughts on criteria for dairymen to use when deciding on equipment.

Ideal Technology

Must be cost effective not just something that is nice to have.
Needs to be flexible, robust and reliable (barns are harsh environments).
Best if device is simple to use and the data captured is solutions focused.
Information needs to be quickly available and user-friendly.
Equipment supplier needs to be available 24/7 to troubleshoot.

Limitations

New technology is not a fit for every dairy. Trial it before you buy it.
Some devices are brought to market before they are fully field tested.
Software is not always user-friendly. Test if it works for you.
Some devices are developed and sold without consideration for work patterns on farm.
Avoid stand-alone devices that cannot be linked to other on-farm technology.

How to Judge Benefits

Will the information produced be more accurate than was previously available?
Will the information provided save on labor costs?
Will the information provided lead to increased profit per cow per day?
Will the information result in improved product quality?
When using the device will there be minimal environmental impact?
Will your cows be healthier, have improved reproduction and be more profitable?
Will managing the herd be easier and less time-consuming?
If a device cannot provide at least two of the above benefits then don’t buy it!

Lessons Learned

Dr. Bewley and his team of researchers have focus on Precision Dairy Farming. Some of the lessons they have learned include:

Be cautious about buying early stage technologies.
Take the time to thoroughly learn how to use the technology and interpret the results.
Integrating the data from the various on-farm technologies takes an expert.
Having qualified customer service available is crucial.
Give priority to buying devices that will have the largest impact on profit.

The Bullvine Bottom Line

The application of precision dairy farming technologies is important as herd size increases and margins narrow. A good place to get an objective view on technologies that apply to health and reproduction is the University of Kentucky website. Of course, another good source of information are breeders that have already installed the technology. Ask them both what’s good and what’s not so good about the device. By all means identify where your operation can be improved and then pencil out the cost – benefit of each technology. Applying technology will be a leading contributor to profitability and sustainability on dairy farms in the future.

RF Goldwyn Hailey – One of the Greatest of All Time?

· Comments (0)

Friday, October 10th, 2014

There are certain cows that are known by one name only. Charity, Beauty and Frosty are three that come to mind quickly. With her win at the 2014 International Holstein Show, RF Goldwyn Hailey EX-97 3E 2* has now entered that illustrious stratosphere. (Read more: The 2014 International Holstein Show at World Dairy Expo)

While there have been many cows that have been able to win Grand Champion honors once at World Dairy Expo, very few have been able to repeat that achievement. That short list includes: Wind Drift Countess Nora (70, 72), Brookview Tony Charity (82, 84, 85, 87), Merkley Starbuck Whitney (92, 93), Rainyridge Tony Beauty (95, 99), Vandyk-K Integrity Paradise (00, 02) and Harvue Roy Frosty (09, 10). With her win this past week, Hailey now joins this celebrated group.

The question now becomes, “Does Hailey deserve to be among the greatest Holstein Show Cows of all time?” (Read more: The 8 Greatest North American Show Cows of All-Time). On the merits of her two wins at Expo ’12 and ‘14 and Grand Champion honors at the Royal in 2012, Hailey now enters the top 8 and stands in the league of #6 on our list MERKLEY STARBUCK WHITNEY EX-CAN EX-96-5YR-USA 3*, and #5, HARVUE ROY FROSTY EX-97-2E-USA,. It’s interesting that she now enters the league of Frosty as it was her battle with fellow EX-97 legend that first catapulted her to this stardom at the 2012 World Dairy Expo. That was a battle Hailey ultimately won.

Often described as Incredible Perfection, Brookview Tony Charity holds the record for most wins at Expo by a Holstein. Those four wins are a record that may never be surpassed. For her time, Charity was in a league entirely of her own. Even looking back now, it’s hard to believe how correct Charity looks some 30 years later. But the ideal cow has changed over the years. One could argue that at her best today, Hailey exactly fits the mold for the modern perfect cow.

Over the past three years, I have had the opportunity to see Hailey many, many times. At the 2013 NY International Spring Show, Hailey was as close to perfection as I have ever seen a cow in my life. (Read more: RF Goldwyn Hailey Rides to the Top Spot at NY Spring Carousel) That occasion is now rivaled by this year’s appearance at World Dairy Expo. While Hailey looked great during the Holstein Show at Expo this year, a few hours later just before she entered the Supreme Parade, she rivaled her appearance at the 2012 NY show, as she had made her already high and wide rear udder even more spectacular.

While there is often repeated discussion about her extreme balance, width and power, one point that I think does not get enough publication is her extremely strong udder cleft. Some cows, as they get older, start to lose the strength of udder cleft. Hailey at eight years of age and after 4 calvings and almost 100,000 lbs. of lifetime production has an udder cleft that is almost two hands deep. What an incredible testament to the greatness of this cow.

The Bullvine Bottom Line

There is no question that, if you stood Hailey side by side with Charity, you would give the edge to Hailey based on what is the modern ideal cow. She would be much longer of her neck, wider of her chest, moves more correctly on her feet and legs and possesses more ideal udder texture. But the question remains, “Will Hailey compare well in thirty years?” One thing is certain. If she achieves at least one more victory at either Expo or The Royal, Hailey will confirm her well-deserved position beside the top 5 show cows in the history of the Holstein breed. She will definitely be in the league with THRULANE JAMES ROSE EX-97-2E-CAN 2*, ACME STAR LILY EX-2E-CAN EX-94-4YR-USA 8*, RAINYRIDGE TONY BEAUTY EX-5E-CAN 9* and the greatest of all time, BROOKVIEW TONY CHARITY EX-CAN EX-97-5YR-USA DOM 13*. A legend in the making …..Hailey.

The Top 10 Holstein Sires of 2014 That Will Sire the Next World Dairy Expo Grand Champion

· Comments (0)

Thursday, October 9th, 2014

Since 2008 Goldwyn has dominated the show scene in North America. The great RF Goldwyn Hailey was named Grand Champion of the 2014 Holstein Show. Goldwyn daughters like Butz-Butler Gold Barbara (1^st place 4 year old), Brookvilla Goldwyn Brooks (2^nd Place Sr 3 year old)and this year’s Junior Champion Comestar Larion Goldwyn all looked great at the show. (Read more: International Holstein Show – World Dairy Expo 2014) Goldwyn’s dominance may not end soon. But since his semen is in short supply, it is only a matter of time before a new sire takes up the #1 position. The following at the 10 most likely sires, after Goldwyn of course, to sire the next World Dairy Expo Grand Champion.

10. Fever

200HO05592
Crackholm Fever TY TD
Goldwyn x Blitz x Mattie

Well if Goldwyn is not going to sire the next Grand Champion, why not one of his sons? One son with many impressive milking daughters is Fever. With daughters like Arethusa Fever Almira, 1^st place Sr. 2yr old at this year’s World Dairy Expo, and Jacobs Fever Cael, the 3^rd place Sr. 2, already carrying the flag for Fever, the chances are he will certainly have some contenders for Grand Champion in a few years’ time. While only +2.32 for PTAT you may wonder if Fever has enough type to get the job done. But at +2.99 for stature and +3.07 for rear udder height, Fever is correct in all the right places for the show ring. He does need protected on his body depth, but if you have a great big framey cow that needs some rear udder and leg improvement, Fever is the sire to get the job done.

9. Jacoby

Cycle Doorman Jacoby-ET RC TP
Doorman x Gold Chip x Lion King RC

For those looking to add a little red to the mix there is the highest Red/RC PTAT sire in the world, Jacoby. With Doorman calves impressing around North America, Jacoby’s no holes linear is sure to deliver the same results. He is in the top 1% of the breed for Conformation (+16), Mammary System (+14), Dairy Strength (+12) and is an impressive +10 for stature. For those of you thinking the next grand champion could be a Red cow, why not give Jacoby a shot?

8. Byway

200HO10036
OH-River-Syc Byway-ET TR TY
Meridian x Atwood x Shottle

While the OH-River prefix may not be well known to most in the show scene, the pedigree behind Byway is certainly well known. Byway is a Meridian from SANDY-VALLEY ATWD BARBIE VG-87-2yr, Then REGANCREST BRYNNA EX-91 GMD 2* and then the great brood cow REGANCREST-PR BARBIE EX-92 USA DOM GMD 6*. Combined with that great pedigree, Byway has DGV’s for conformation that are 46% higher than his parent average and is a very impressive +4.45 PTAT. Look for Byway to sire outstanding mammary systems that have strong attachments that are high and wide. He will need to be protected on his loin strength as well as his high pins.

7. Attic

200HO03607
Allyndale-I Attic TY
Goldwyn x Durham x Storm B/R

While at only +3.08 on type and weak median suspensory scores, you may ask “How does attic make the list?” Sure he is the Goldwyn son of the great type brood cow MD-Delight Durham Atlee-ET EX-92 GMD DOM but the real reason is ….CHARWILL ATTIC MARCY. Since winning H.M. All-Canadian Milking Yearling in 2012, this great young cow has just gotten better. She was 1st Senior 2-yr-old, Best Udder at the 2013 World Dairy Expo and Royal Winter Fair and this year, milking over a year, she was named 1^st Sr 3 year old and Intermediate Champion at Expo. Sure Attic may only have one shot, Marcy, at siring the next Grand Champion, but she has to be the one of the two non-Goldwyn sired animals in North America most likely to do it. Attic offers great feet and leg improvement with outstanding bone quality, and will need to be protected on his median suspensory ligament as well as his rear teat placement.

6. Pjp First

Atwood x Bolton x Titanic

For those of you that are looking to take a flyer on an extreme sire and can get your hands on the semen, Pjp First is a sire worth looking at. This French sire is extreme in all the right places for show ring success. He is +4.36 for stature, +4.07 UDC with a +5.90 for rear udder height and +5.43 for rear udder width. The one area he will certainly need to be protected on is his extreme high pins. While I know many in the show ring would prefer to not use an unknown cow family Pjp First’s numbers are out of this world and are perfectly suited for show ring success so he at least deserves a closer look.

5. Baird

007HO12314
Four-Hills Clark Baird 4491 TY
Clark B/R x Atwood x Shottle

While Baird’s sire may not be that familiar, the pedigree behind Baird spells success. His sire Clark is a Goldwyn son that is +3.49 PTAT, +4.04 Stature, +4.43 Fore Udder Attachment and +3.61 Rear Udder Width. His maternal side should need no introduction as his dam is an Atwood daughter of REGANCREST BARBI the EX USA DOM Shottle daughter of REGANCREST-PR BARBIE EX-92 USA DOM GMD 6*. Baird is tied for the highest genomic values in Canada for conformation (+24). He is a +4.45 PTAT, +4.94 Stature, +4.22 UDC and +3.54 Body Depth. In fact he is a +13 in Canada for height at Front End and, therefore, his daughters are built to show. If you believe in genomics, you certainly have to like this sire’s pedigree. There is no question you should at least give Baird a shot.

4. Archrival

187HO01000
Eclipse Atwoods Archrival
Atwood x Shottle x Champion

At +4.84 PTAT Archrival is the highest type sire in the world. While his dam may not be well known in North America, his pedigree certainly is. His 2^nd dam is Sherona-Hill Champ Angel VG-89-USA EX-MS 2yr from the 2003 All-American Jr 2 year old Amlaird Lee Alice EX-94-USA. She is of course the sister to BVK Atwood Abrianna EX-92-USA & Arianna VG-89-USA 2yr from the great MS Kingstead Chief Adeen-ET EX-94-USA 2E DOM and he dam of Atwood, Aftershock, Golden Dream and many more. Look for Archrival to sire extreme improvement across the board, as he is at +3.00 or more for most type traits. He will need to be protected on his Rump angle as well as on pin setting.

3. Golddust

534HO11310
Sonnek Golddust-ET TY
Gold Chip x Damion x Shottle

At +4.51 PTAT, +4.26 UDC, +4.13 Stature, and +3.09 FLC, there is no question that Golddust is going to deliver show winning daughters. He is from a great cow family that has proven to deliver. While he is a -.97 for high pins, by show ring standards, this should not be an issue. He is in the top 1% of the breed for Conformation, Mammary System and Dairy Strength. He is +11 in Canada for loin strength, making him a great choice for those framey cows that need loin and udder improvement.

2. Brokaw

007HO11118
Mr Atwood Brokaw-ET TR TY
Atwood x Mac x Durham

Since we first highlighted Brokaw when he was released and now, when we are seeing the calves on the ground, we have become more and more impressed with this sire. (Read more: The 10 Extreme Type Sires Most Likely To Sire the Next World Champion, 7 Sires to Use in Order to Breed the Next World Dairy Expo Champion, The Top 12 Holstein Genomic Young Sires To Use for Maximum Genetic Gain) In an era when it seems that genomic sires come and go quickly or, more accurately, are constantly being surpassed by the new hot sire, Brokaw has been able to stand strong. In Brokaw you combine the two greatest type families in the breed today. On the paternal side you have Atwood and his dam MD-DELIGHT DURHAM ATLEE EX-92-4YR-USA DOM GMD 2*, 2012 Golden Dam Finalist and Reserve Intermediate Champion at Madison in 2005 followed by her grand dam MS Kingstead Chief Adeen EX-94. On the maternal side you have REGANCREST MAC BIKASA VG-87-2YR-USA who is the daughter of REGANCREST-PR BARBIE EX-92-7YR-USA DOM GMD 3*, also a 2012 Golden Dam Finalist. Watch for Brokaw daughters to be extremely tall and have the necessary frame, dairyness and bolted on udders to get the job done. While his rumps may not be ideal for classification, expect them to be bang on when it comes to the show ring, demonstrating the necessary width and boxcar rumps that judges love so much.

1. Atwood

007HO10506
Maple-Downs-I G W Atwood TR TY
Goldwyn x Durham x Storm B/R

While there has been little doubt that Atwood has become the most successful Goldwyn son, the 2014 World Dairy Expo certainly helped his case for becoming the Goldwyn heir apparent. One need only look at the Junior 3 year old class, where the top 3 animals, Jacobs Atwood Vedette, BVK Atwood Abbie-ET and Windy-Knoll-View Parfait-ET were all sired by Atwood. Also impressive was the 2^nd place Senior 2 Year Old Lotto Atwood Lizette. It seems to be just a matter of time before Atwood will take over the crown from this once-in –a-generation sire. Atwood and his extensive use and consistent transmitting ability will certainly leave the most daughters that will contend with those of his sire Goldwyn. There are so many reasons to choose Atwood. First you have the magic Goldwyn on Durham cross. Then you add in his dam who was the exceptional MD-DELIGHT DURHAM ATLEE EX-92-4YR-USA DOM GMD 2*. Atlee also had extreme conformation herself, winning Reserve Intermediate Champion at Madison in 2005, and going on to be named unanimous ALL-AMERICAN SR.3-YR that year. She comes by it naturally with her grand dam being MS Kingstead Chief Adeen EX-94. Combine that with the greatest type sire of the past half-decade, Goldwyn, and you have yourself an unbeatable show-winning package. Atwood offers the great mammary systems his pedigree would indicate but needs to be protected for flat loins and high pins, much like his sire. While he may not pass his sire in accomplishments, there is no question that Atwood is establishing himself as the heir apparent.

The Bottom Line

From the record attendance at the 2014 World Dairy Expo, to the 50,000 people we have viewed the results on our website, there is no question that the show ring is as popular as ever. It seems like everyone who has ever exhibited at a local, county or national show has had the dream of winning at Expo. These 10 are the most likely sires that will help you get that done!

The Future Of Dairying Is Uncertain!!

· Comments (0)

Wednesday, October 8th, 2014

You are committed to dairying. You have recognized that changing markets and rising demand for milk, means you will have to expand, specialize or exit. You’re staring at a future that is looming with complications from genetics to finances, and you are not entirely sure which direction you should be headed in. Suddenly an unforeseen challenge is right on your doorstop, and it could mean disaster for everything you have invested in your dairy business. You thought things were fine. That’s what “they” have been telling you. You can’t be blamed for asking, “Why didn’t we see this coming?”

Stuck in the “If only Rut” While the Future is Bearing Down Fast

If only the economy would turn around. If only government would give us support and protect our markets. If only the consumer would understand that producers are part of their team too! If only we had unconditional support from the membership. Oh yes…. And it would be great “If only we had the right people leading us? You know the ones. People we like. So we don’t have to deal with personalities, politics and publicity.” Yes, the if-only rut is a deep one and very hard to dig yourself out of, once you have given all responsibility for change to someone or something else! If only that worked! But … it doesn’t.

Who Is Representing YOU?

Sometimes it seems like the rest of the world continually underappreciates the hard work, planning and vision of modern dairy farmers. Part of the reason for this is that they are not supported with that same focus and energy when it comes to their boards, suppliers and associations. That is too bad because they impact our long-term viability as an industry. Take, for example, your breed association, milk recording agency or cooperative AI stud. You have just read the newsletter where they voted in a direction that has nothing to do with actually supporting your dairy objectives. Not surprising since the board itself is grossly under-represented by progressive dairy operators who are hands on and in tune with modern dairy growth. In fact, the business agenda hasn’t changed in thirty years. And neither has the makeup of boards. They are entirely missing the issues that are well beyond the writing on the wall stage.

Why Aren’t Dairy Associations Relevant To Modern Dairying?

Boards who move industries or associations or dairy operations realize that if great work is going to get done they will have to do it. However, that takes long term vision, and it is difficult to rock the boat and chance finding yourself out of work. Currently – too many decisions are made that keep people in their jobs and have less to do with making the dairy industry profitable. When it becomes a choice between keeping a grant, maintaining the interests of a major financial supporter or putting some other agenda ahead of the actual dairy operators’ needs, it’s easily seen who wins out. Furthermore, too many dairy co-ops or board decision makers don’t work entirely on farm and see what they do as a perk or supplement or cushion for retirement. Too often this means they are not motivated to carry out the hard decision making that forward progress always requires.

Who is Serving? Who is Hiding?

If the boards, associations and suppliers are actually serving the industry they must be comprised of the people who understand what it takes to be sustainable and profitable in the dairy industry. All sectors of the industry – commercial, show type breeding, purebred – must, at the end of the day, be both profitable and sustainable. We have all been at industry meetings, where the folks at the front of the room said all the right words about where the industry needs to be, but there is always one thing missing. First: Progress. Secondly: Actual actions undertaken. If the group is in exactly the same position as they were a year ago at this time, that actually means they are falling behind. It’s frustrating to receive dairy industry meeting agendas where the only change in the format, presenters and reports is the date at the top of the first page.

Does The Buck Stop In The Barn Or In The Boardroom!

“You have to continue to move forward. The moment you decide to stand still, the rest of the industry goes by you very quickly.” Thomas Boch speaking of the college sports industry.

To move forward. Being a board member isn’t a reward for surviving in the dairy industry to the point where you have time to attend meetings. Time – is the kicker. The ones who are so busy 24/7 in dairying that they don’t have time to travel for meetings…. to do the homework — know the issues. They aren’t prepared to say “No!” to the status quo. Having said that, it’s amazing how fast a meeting can be wrapped up if one or more of the attendees is showing at a dairy show the next day. There are ways to manage the time, place and length of meetings. After all, the most important part of a board meeting happens when it is written up and the actions and whom they are assigned to has been recorded. Then the real measure of success comes when the work gets done. Too often the action item remains “incomplete” for far too long.

How Many Of Your Dairy Leaders Use These Excuses!

The Bullvine is fortunate in being able to dialogue with all dairy stakeholders from all sectors of the industry. We enjoy nothing more than sharing our viewpoints, learning those of others and, best of all, challenging those we meet to confront change for the good of the industry. We are making excuses when we face something hard but here are the ones that we are getting for the lack of leadership currently facing many dairy organizations and the industry as a whole.

“I would, but I’m too busy” This speaks to the previously mentioned self-preservation priority.

“We would lead but we are currently facing too much competition amongst ourselves.” This says that they don’t care about you until they can be sure they are the only ones in your wallet. “We would lead but we are in the midst of downsizing.” They see the challenges ahead, and they want to hang on to as much as they can for as long as they can, even if it reduces their own effectiveness.

In other words – rather than making changes that meet the needs of the current and future membership, the associations who make excuses are only considering their own needs. Unfortunately, they don’t recognize that, without a sustainable, profitable industry, they too will disappear. As Benjamin Franklin put it so clearly, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately!”

This is NOT a News Flash!

If it was easy to foresee the future, our industry would not be facing the issues and challenges it does. It’s hard work to be progressive. When you picture the time it takes to serve on industry boards, associations and consulting groups, you might not be blamed for seeing it as a waste of time. Who needs to sit around a table offering platitudes at best, sharing gossip at worst, and all the time thinking, “My time could be so much better spent back on the farm?” You’re not wrong if that’s the kind of organization you’re specifically thinking about. Who wants to endure lengthy, time-consuming presentations (aka death by PowerPoint) , bickering board members, deadlocked decision-making, sneaky power grabs or, worst of all, a rubber-stamp committee that might as well not exist at all. Maybe it’s better to wait and see and hope that it all changes (positively) on its own.

Procrastinate Until They Legislate

Indeed, procrastination does lead to change. If left to its logical negative end, someone will step in, whether it’s the government, banks or competitors. They will then take the decision making right out of our hands. If we are not ready to determine the genetics, herd size, animal care or leadership we need, someone else will do it for us. The trouble is we won’t have any say, and certainly it will be neither profitable nor sustainable for those who give up their voice. Do we want to be forced to change?

Looking Back. Looking Ahead.

Thirty years ago not all farmers cared about international markets, research or genetics – let alone genomics. That didn’t mean, however that Boards, Associations or Universities where ignoring these issues. Indeed the worldwide reputation of North American dairy cattle impacted the entire industry right back to the farm gate. Riding that wave may one of the reasons contributing to our current complacency and willingness to rest on past laurels.

Today the very success of not only North American dairying but dairying in developing countries as well has contributed to a more level global playing field. Contrary to resting on past achievements, it is time once again to take the industry to the next level in all areas: genetics, research, health, tools, equipment and systems. Once again we need leadership. It’s time to accept that not all of us see the dairy industry in exactly the same way, but all of us need to embrace change that will build the future. Take risks. Do things differently. Never lose your courage to move ahead. Don’t be paralyzed by what is coming at you. Be energized.

The Bullvine Bottom Line

The goal is not to avoid the issues or to completely eradicate them. There isn’t a three step plan that will guarantee the future. The future of the dairy industry will be made by initiators who figure out how to keep moving, when it seems that the only choice is to stay still and remain stuck. Let’s use our insights to keep this industry where it deserves to grow … in the spotlight!

Klussendorf Association Names Abbott 16th Honorary Member

Tim Abbott, Enosburg, Vt., was named the 16th Honorary Member of the Klussendorf Association. Since the association was formed in 1937, 15 other men have received special recognition by the membership for their involvement with purebred dairy cattle. This year’s Honorary Klussendorf winner graduated from the University of Vermont in 1987 with a degree in animal science. As a youth, Abbott was the 1985 winner of the National Jersey Youth Achievement Contest. He started his career with the American Jersey Cattle Association and held positions as the northwest U.S. area representative and later manager of field services with the Jersey Marketing Service. In 1991, Abbott joined ABS Global and was responsible for sire selection and acquisition. He later became the general manager of ABS Canada. In 2011, Abbott and his wife, Sharyn, purchased St. Jacob’s Animal Breeding. As a team they took over the “Judge’s Choice Program” that engages well-respected judges to identify and acquire some of the best show-style bulls in the world. It’s also important to note that Abbott is a tremendous human being. He helped launch the Northeast Show Calf Summit seven (7) years ago. This past year, 175 youth attended the two-day event where they learn firsthand from top show leaders on leading, clipping, feeding and other aspects of animal care. On top of that, Tim Abbott was part of the team that donated an Aftershock daughter from the All American and All Canadian Dubeau Dundee Hezbollah cow. That daughter, Hez Ashock Ms Horace-ET will sell at the 2014 World Classic Sale at World Dairy Expo and all proceeds will go to the Horace Backus Scholarship Fund for the Young Dairy Leader’s Institute. Tim and his wife Sharyn are the proud parents of two daughters, Chelsea and Caitlyn, who are both students at Virginia Tech.

Wisconsin Native Wins Klussendorf-Mackenzie Award

John Galgowski, won the coveted Klussendorf-MacKenzie Award presented during the 48th World Dairy Expo, in memory of Duncan McKenzie, 1961 Klussendorf winner. This humble and behind-the-scenes guy has a passion to help others succeed. What’s more, Galgowski has never missed a World Dairy Expo and his passion for the show is evident by his hard work and the ongoing support he provides. The 24th Duncan MacKenzie Award winner’s journey began when he grew up on a Connecticut Guernsey farm. After graduating with a degree in dairy science from the University of Wisconsin-River Falls, Galgowski worked at the university’s dairy and recently retired as herdsman. Additionally, he has likely worked with more Guernsey Grand Champions at World Dairy Expo than any herdsman by working with the Four Winds string that has included 11 Grand Champions, one Reserve Supreme Champion and the most Premier Breeder banners of any breed. In fact, the Clark and Joy Vilter family trusts Galgowski with every aspect of the show, including clipping, washing, bedding, milking and strapping the cattle in the prized show herd. Many people also know Galgowski as a “Master Banker.” Anyone who has seen the Four Winds display knows that he works tirelessly to keep the exhibit looking its best, always squaring off and tidying the pack, sweeping the alleys and organizing the storage areas. Perhaps most importantly, Galgowski is known for the smiles he generates, the jokes he tells and the friendly greeting he gives visitors who come through the barn. Above all these accomplishments, Galgowski exemplifies all the principles of a Duncan MacKenzie recipient as to character, sportsmanship, ability, and endeavor.

Langmaids Named Sixth Robert “Whitey” Mckown Master Breeder Award Winner

Scott and Laurie Langmaid of Danville, Vt., have been selected by the Klussendorf Association as the sixth recipient of the Robert “Whitey” McKown Master Breeder Award. This award recognizes a well-managed breeder herd that has been successful at showing and judging and emphasizes all qualities of the Klussendorf Award, including ability, character, endeavor and sportsmanship. The award was formally presented on Friday, October 3 during the 48th World Dairy Expo in Madison, Wis. Scott and Laurie, along with their sons Ross, Brad and Trevor, operate Vermont Pond View Farm. Scott grew up at Vermont Pond View Farm helping his father, Hugh, build a genetic base that has produced 170 Excellent cows. They have bred four Excellent 95-point cows and six Excellent 94-point cows. The tradition of excellence runs deep in the cow families that the Langmaids develop. Several of the more prominent cows that wear the VT-Pond-View prefix (short for Vermont Pond View) come from lines that date back to cow families purchased by Hugh. This includes VT-Pond-View Round Oak Sue EX-94, whose line produced two Excellent 95-point cows, and VT-Pond-View Charisma-ET EX-95, whose line produced three Excellent 94-point cows. Another of the more prominent lines on the farm had its beginning with Twin-Wind TC Broker Lass EX-95. The cow was purchased by the dairy in 1990 and has left her mark producing nine Excellent daughters and several Excellent granddaughters. One of her daughters, VT-Pond-View Rubens Lilyana, also scored EX-95 points and produced many high-scoring offspring. In 2011, VT-Pond-View Goldwyn Libby-ET, the granddaughter of Lass, was recognized as the Unanimous All American and All Canadian Spring Yearling winning the spring yearling class and junior champion honors at the Royal Winter Fair, New York State Fair and Maryland State Fair. The family has also earned All American Best Three Females in 1991. That same year they earned Reserve All American Produce of Dam, an honor they repeated in 1994. The family stays busy on the farm and has been unable to do much showing in the last several years, but they have a strong history at the Northeast Fall National Show recording five premier breeder awards and two premier exhibitor titles. The farm has also exhibited many years at the Vermont State show winning premier breeder six times and premier exhibitor five times. They have also laid claim to premier breeder or exhibitor titles at the All American Dairy Show, Mideast Fall National and New York State Fair. The Robert “Whitey” McKown Memorial Breeder Award was made possible by the family and friends of the 1997 Honorary Klussendorf honoree. Whitey joined the Holstein World staff in 1956 and became widely respected as he traveled nationally and internationally, reporting on shows, sales, meetings and other Holstein events. The 1987 National Dairy Shrine president also developed MooKown Holsteins in Belleville, N.Y. Whitey had great admiration for the farmer breeder. The Klussendorf Memorial Association, considered by many as the Hall of Fame for Dairy Cattle Exhibitors, began in 1937 in memory of Arthur B. Klussendorf, considered the outstanding dairy cattle showman of his time. Each year, the Klussendorf Association votes to add a new dairy cattle exhibitor to its roles with lifetime membership for their cumulative works including ability, character, endeavor and sportsmanship.

Dale Bendig Awarded A.C. “Whitie” Thomson Memorial Award

The 2014 A.C. “Whitie” Thomson Memorial Award was presented to Dale Bendig of Gettysburg, Pa., by the “Whitie” Thomson family during the 48th World Dairy Expo. The award honors the herdsman/showman who exhibits exemplary leadership and sportsmanship throughout the show. Bendig treats his fellow Expo exhibitors with integrity and friendliness, which are trademark characteristics of A.C. “Whitie” Thomson. Bendig was raised on his family’s farm, Doughoregan, where he learned the ways of dairy life. His family started with Guernseys, breeding and showing, and through partnerships transitioned to Holstein cattle. While still a youth, Bendig started Spungold Holsteins and it just kept growing. In 1992, Bendig married his wife, Deanna, and for 22 years their love for cattle, and each other, has been going strong. Bendig and Deanna operate a 79-acre farm with a herd of 120 cows, 65 of which are milking. Spungold is also home to a few boarded cows as well as cows owned through partnerships. All his life, Bendig has taken remarkable care of cattle, many of his own and others owned by Ernie Kueffner, Greg Wilcomb and Rich Lock, to name a few. In the Showring the Bendigs have collected countless banners in a variety of classes, championships and Premier awards. The Bendigs have developed numerous Excellent dairy cattle, including the 2002 Red & White Grand Champion Female and Overall Futurity Champion, Spungold Tahoe-Red. Bendig worked with another famous name, Old Mill E Snickerdoodle OCS, who was an eight-time All-American nominated cow with an abundance of awards, including six Grand Champion titles at World Dairy Expo and Supreme Champion in 2003. For over 35 years, Bendig has immersed himself in all aspects of the dairy industry and World Dairy Expo. He is a member of World Dairy Expo’s Dairy Cattle Exhibitor Committee. This year the Spungold Holsteins won a daily Herdsmanship Award for their spectacular display and overall welcoming environment for attendees. Bendig also keeps busy judging dairy cattle shows, including the 2012 National Brown Swiss Junior Show, Maryland State Brown Swiss Show and local and regional shows. In their spare time, the Bendigs enjoy working with youth on their farm. From helping coordinate dairy cattle judging practices throughout the year to answering any questions the students may have, they always try to help whenever asked. Bendig’s positive attitude does not stop when he leaves the Showring. His friends and family love his humor. When asked, Deanna said, “He always has a joke to tell. He loves to make people laugh.”

The Bullvine Bottom Line

In an Expo that was billed to be one of the greatest ever, the stars certainly showed up and delivered. Every show seemed to have record numbers, and attendance was through the rough this year. We here at the Bullvine has some many visitors, (Over 20,000 people at one point where live on our site) that we had to even add a 2^nd server to handle the load. In the end it come down to two phenomenal cows. Venus and Hailey. These two cows battled hard for supreme champion honors and both with continue to cement their names as two of the greatest show cows in history.

Andrew Hunt

Andrew grew up on a dairy farm in southern Ontario — which means he learned about herd management, hard work, and tight margins long before it became a career. He went on to build an animal genetics marketing company, running campaigns that actually moved the needle in a notoriously tough-to-reach industry. Today he channels that background into The Bullvine, where he writes about genetics, farm business, and the decisions that separate profitable operations from struggling ones. He doesn’t pull punches, and dairy farmers seem to appreciate that.
