The 2012 Breeder’s Choice Awards – The Tanbark Trail Edition

· Comments (0)

Monday, January 28th, 2013

In the age of American Idol, Dancing with the Stars and countless other franchises where the fans decide the outcome, it’s about time for Dairy Breeders to join the decision-making fun.. That is why the Bullvine has created the Breeder’s Choice Awards. The Breeder’s Choice Awards celebrates fan favorites in the show ring, index cows, sires and dairy celebrities. It stands alone as the only major award where real people – not industry insiders – determine the winners.

The Winners are?

Over the past month The Bullvine has been conducting surveys on our Facebook page to see exactly who the fans would choose as the top Holstein show cattle in North America for 2012. To qualify the animals in each class needed to place in the top five spots at either World Dairy Expo or the Royal (Read more: World Dairy Expo 2012 Holstein Show: A Battle for the Ages and The 2012 Royal Winter Fair Holstein Show – One of the Greatest Stories Evert Told ). After thousands of votes here are the winners:

Senior & Grand Champion – RF Goldwyn Hailey

The Bullvine Bottom Line

While cows like R-E-W Happy Go Lucky, Cookview Goldwyn Monique and RF Goldwyn Hailey rode their almost cult like followings to dominant victories, it was really interesting to see the classes where there were different winners than at the Royal or Madison (Spring Calf, Winter Heifer Calf, Fall Heifer Calf, Spring Yearling, Winter Yearling, Fall Yearling, Junior 3 year old and 4 year old). Particularly surprising was that in two of these classes (Spring Calf and Spring Yearling) the winner was not a class winner at either the Royal or Madison. The biggest shocker of all has to be Royal and Madison Sr. 2 year old winner, Butz-Butler Gold Barbara, falling to Valleyville Rae Lynn. It was also interesting to see the battle between Madison Junior Champion, Lafontaine Aftershock Arrie, and Royal Junior Champion, MD-Dun Loafin Lauth Elli, going head to head as they did both did not attend both shows. Elli was the Breeder’s Choice.

The 8 Greatest North American Show Cows of All-Time

· Comments (10)

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2012

Coming off what might have been one of the greatest World Dairy Expo’s of All-Time (Read –World Dairy Expo 2012 Holstein Show – A Battle For The Ages), there seems to be great debate about how some cows stack up in the All-Time rankings. To help determine how we would rank the greatest North American Holstein show cows of all time, we looked at their head to head match ups as well as overall accomplishments and dominance in their era and developed the following list:

#8. VANDYK-K INTEGRITY PARADISE EX-96-2E-USA DOM 3*

VANDYK-K INTEGRITY PARADISE EX-96-2E-USA DOM 3* – Photo by Kathy Debruin

BREEDER: VANDYK-K HOLSTEINS, LYNDEN, WA, USA

OWNER: ROSEDALE GENETICS, OXFORD WI, USA

ALL-AMERICAN MATURE COW, 4-YR, JR. 3-YR
RES. ALL-CANADIAN 4-YR 2000
GRAND MADISON 2002, 2000
1ST MATURE COW MADISON 2002
1ST 4-YR MADISON 2000

#7. QUALITY B C FRANTISCO EX-96-3E-CAN 18*

HM. ALL-CANADIAN MATURE COW, SR.2-YR
GRAND ROYAL 2005, 2004
INT.CHAMP ROYAL 2002
HM.GRAND ROYAL 2002

Reasons: Both Paradise (Madison) and Frantisco (Royal) were only able to win twice in their home country at a time when the border was closed. But Frantisco does win the battle when it comes to total All-American or All-Canadian awards so she wins this close battle.

#6. MERKLEY STARBUCK WHITNEY EX-CAN EX-96-5YR-USA 3*

MERKLEY STARBUCK WHITNEY EX-CAN EX-96-5YR-USA 3*

BREEDER: DAVID MERKLEY, COURTENAY, BC, CAN

OWNER: CHEROWN HOLSTEINS, PARIS, ON, CAN & TOKACHI LIVESTOCK MANAGEMENT, OBIHIRO-SHI, HOKKAIDO, JAPAN

ALL-CANADIAN MATURE COW, 5-YR, 4-YR
ALL-AMERICAN 5-YR, 4-YR, JR.3-YR
GRAND ROYAL 1994, 1992
GRAND MADISON 1993
RES.GRAND ROYAL 1993

Reasons: Since Frantisco never having won at Madison, the edge goes to Whitney for winning on both sides of the border.

#5. HARVUE ROY FROSTY EX-97-2E-USA

HARVUE ROY FROSTY EX-97-2E-USA

BREEDER: HARVUE HOLSTEINS, BERRYVILLE, VA, USA

ALL-AMERICAN MATURE COW, 5-YR
ALL-CANADIAN 5-YR 2009
GRAND MADISON 2010, 2009
RES.GRAND ROYAL 2009
INT.CHAMP MADISON 2007

Reasons: Very close battle between Frosty and Whitney, both cows where Supreme at Madison twice, but the nod goes to Frosty for for doing it against stiffer competition (see Rose below).

#4. THRULANE JAMES ROSE EX-97-2E-CAN 2*

BREEDER: THRULANE HOLSTEINS ELMIRA, ON, CAN

ALL-CANADIAN MATURE COW 2009, 2008
ALL-AMERICAN MATURE COW 2009, 2008
GRAND ROYAL 2009, 2008, 2006
GRAND MADISON 2008
GRAND QC INTERNATIONAL 2008

Reasons: Head to head these cows split with Frosty winning Madison and Rose winning the Royal, but Rose gets the edge for being able to win on both sides of the border.

#3. ACME STAR LILY EX-2E-CAN EX-94-4YR-USA 8*

GRAND ROYAL 1999, 1998, 1997
GRAND MADISON 1998

Reasons: Close battle, with both cows having 4 Grand Championships at the Royal or Madison. The edge goes to Lily with the 1 more All-Canadian nod.

#2. RAINYRIDGE TONY BEAUTY EX-5E-CAN 9*

BREEDER: RONALD BOERCHERS LAURIER, MB, CAN

OWNER: RAY BROWN VISTA, MB, CAN, WEDGWOOD HOLSTEINS, COBBLE HILL, BC, CAN & STANHOPE DAIRY FARM LTD, VICTORIA, BC, CAN

ALL-CANADIAN MATURE COW 1999, 1995, 1993, 1992
ALL-AMERICAN MATURE COW 1999, 1995, 1992
GRAND ROYAL 1993
GRAND MADISON 1999
RES.GRAND ROYAL 1999,1995

Reasons: Very close battle even though they split their head to head battle, Beauty was 8 times All-Canadian or All-American where Lily was only 4 times.

#1. BROOKVIEW TONY CHARITY EX-CAN EX-97-5YR-USA DOM 13*

BREEDER: JOHN D. & KARL E. HAVENS FREMONT, OH, USA

OWNER: ROMANDALE FARMS LTD TORONTO, ON & HANOVER HILL HOLSTEINS PORT PERRY, ON

ALL-CANADIAN 1987, 1985, 1984, 1983, 1982
ALL-AMERICAN 1987, 1985, 1984, 1982
GRAND ROYAL 1987, 1985, 1984, 1983
GRAND MADISON 1987, 1985, 1984, 1983

Reasons: No comparison. Charity was never defeated in her class and 8 times was Grand at Madison or the Royal. She was incredible perfection!

The Bullvine Bottom Line

While I am sure you can debate which cows were actually better than others, the only way to fairly compare them is to look at how they did head to head in their prime. If that was not possible as the cows are from different eras then you have to then look at total accomplishments. The one thing for sure is that Brookview Tony Charity’s accomplishments are by far the greatest of all time and may never be equaled again.

Who’s Next? World Dairy Expo Holstein Show Preview

· Comments (16)

Friday, September 28th, 2012

Excitement and speculation are at an all-time high for the 2012 World Dairy Expo Holstein Show. Exhibitors from around the world and cows from across North America have started making their way towards Madison. (Watch this great video featuring Ferme Jacobs, Ferme de La Plaine & ferme blondin on their way to World Dairy Expo). With the anticipation levels about to explode, let’s take a closer look at the early contenders.

The Judge

Michael Heath – 2012 World Dairy Expo Holstein Show Judge

Of course the final decision rests in the hands of 2012 World Dairy Expo Judge Michael Heath and his associate David Dyment, who combined have more than 45 years of judging experience and have judged over seventy shows at the state and national level in countries around the world. Michael grew up on his parents, Billy and Betty’s Spring Valley Farm in Maryland. After finishing college Michael’s passion for dairy cattle lead to him becoming a professional fitter for 14 years, and the respected position he holds as a great cattleman and marketer. He has owned cattle from some of the top families in the breed. Most notable of these is co-ownership of the MD-DELIGHT DURHAM ATLEE family (2012 Golden Dam Finalist).

Michael has judged many of the top state and provincial shows and highlights in a recent Cowsmopolitan article how pumped he was when he had the opportunity to make JACOBS GOLDWYN BRITANY Grand at Quebec last fall. Though he admits he had to be a little reserved in his “Champion Slap” because of the fact that so many Goldwyn’s can be skittish. Nevertheless, he says that the ringside can expect a slap on October 6^th Goldwyn or not.

Don’t be worried that Michael will be all work and no play. With David Dyment as his associate he is confident that they will have the balance of intensity and objectivity needed to make it through this enormous task, and when need more than capable of pointing out the “hotties”. Given that Michael has probably one of the greats “strappers” as his associate it is great that Michael comments the following in a the Cowsmopolitan article:

“I want people to know that, as long as their nerves don’t get the best of them and as long as they’re comfortable, they are invited to show their own cattle. I don’t care who is on the halter and I encourage young exhibitors to show their own animals as well. This is the chance of a lifetime – get out there and have fun.”

The Contenders for Junior Champion

Md-Dun-Loafin Lauth Elly, Will not be at WDE12 as she is owned by Michael Heath and David Dyment

With Md-Dun-Loafin Lauth Elly being owned by the two judges the remaining contenders are:

Devans Denzel Angela
Kingsway Goldwyn Artichoke
Lafontaine Aftershock Arrie
Liddleholme Asteroid Bird

(Thanks to our avid readers for catching our error and having R-E-W Happy Go Lucky on the JR. champion list, she will be in the Milking Sr. Yearling Class as she calved on Sept. 1st)

The Contenders for Intermediate Champion

CRAIGCREST RUBIES GOLD REJOICE – VG-89-2YR-CAN

While the recent move of Craigcrest Rubies Gold Rejoice to co-ownership with Duckett Holsteins, you have to consider her an early favorite. Others include:

Cookview Goldwyn Monique
Earlen Goldwyn Secret
Pappys Goldwyn Rave
RF Goldwyn Halona
Savage Leigh Gold Lona

The Contenders for Senior Champion

HARVUE ROY FROSTY – EX 97

With two EX-97 point cows, Harvue Roy Frosty EX-97 and RF Goldwyn Hailey EX-97 set to battle, this year’s show is set to go down in the history books as one of the all-time greats. This brings back memories of the Acme Star Lily with Leduc Broker Mandy at WDE in 1997 or her battle with Rainridge Tony Beauty at the 1999 Royal. Some cattle who could be “X Factors” are:

Rocky Mountain Talent Licorice (Reader added)
Savage-Leigh Leona
Whitaker Stormatic Rae

Life is Not All Black and White

BLONDIN REDMAN SEISME EX-96

While the Black and White Holstein show is going to be great, we must not forget some of the other great competitions. At the International Red and White Show, Judge Justin Burdette from Windy Knoll View Farms will do a great job of helping breeders and exhibitors to feel that each of their animals got the look that they deserved. You have to consider Blondin Redman Seisme Now EX-96 an earl favorite for Grand Champion, with Lake Praire Advent Aava-RED EX looking to give her a good run for her money. Drawing from his experience of being the Associate for Chris Hill a few years back, Justin will also do a great job of sorting out the contenders for Junior Champion that include: Flowerbrook Gyna-Red and Deckett P Lucy-Red.

The Bullvine Bottom Line

There is no question that this year’s World Dairy Expo Holstein Show is going to be one for the ages and that there is no better man for the job then Michael. I am sure he will have the time of his life.
