Bringing cows, vegetables together
Couple operate grass-based farmstead creamery, CSA By Brittany Olson
brittany.o@dairystar.com
CLEAR LAKE, Wis. – An experimental batch of cheese from their small herd of family cows has turned into a successful value-added enterprise for Josh Bryceson and Rama Hoffpauir. “We had a 40-acre farm over by New Auburn, Wis., from 2008 to 2013 and were experimenting with family cow dairying [at the time],� said Josh, who has been managing communitysupported agriculture (CSA) farms since 2004. Now farming on 80 acres near Clear Lake, Wis., Josh and Rama milk 20 cows on a seasonal basis which supplies the entirety of the cheese made at their farmstead creamery, Cosmic Wheel Creamery, in addition to their CSA, Turnip Rock Farm. Cosmic Wheel Creamery is about to enter its fourth season of operations. “We make about 12 varieties of cheese,� Rama said. “Six of those are aged varieties, and we also make

although Josh and Rama have been surprised by a couple of early calves from time to time. “We’re experimenting with once-a-day milking and keeping calves on the cow,�
Josh said. “Our focus is not so much on milk volume, but components and longevity. We also raise about 20 hogs per year on whey that’s left over from making cheese.�
Three acres of the farm are devoted to growing a myriad of organic vegetables and herbs, which are fertilized with compost created from composting the cows’ manure Turn to CREAMERY | Page 3

Cosmic Wheel Creamery makes 12 kinds of cheese ranging from aged cheeses to quark, ricoƩa and mozzarella. and bedding. “We used to buy compost for our vegetables, but now we use manure,” Josh said. “We look at our bedding costs as fertility for our farm.” In turn, the cows’ grass-based diets are supplemented by produce that ends up leftover at the end of each season; it isn’t uncommon to see cows munching on squash and dry hay during the winter months. “It’s easier to say what we don’t grow,” Josh said. “We also plant Daikon radishes and turnips in the pasture, as well as millet, rye and sorghum Sudan grass to supplement pastures in midsummer.” Those rst small batches of cheese, which consisted of just 10 to 20 pounds of cheese at a time, were so well received by friends and family that Rama was prompted to earn her cheesemaking license. However, there was about a ve-year lapse between making cheese and becoming a licensed Wisconsin cheesemaker. “We had kids. Our son, Otto, is 7 and our daughter, Sadie, is 4. We also moved farms in 2013 because the farm by New Auburn was too rocky and we didn’t have the land we needed to grow,” Rama said. “We either had to reduce tillage for our vegetables or move.” After earning her cheesemaking license and passing state inspection, Josh and Rama began offering cheese in their CSA boxes to farm members in the spring of 2015. “We couldn’t nd anyone to pick up our milk, so we did it ourselves,” Rama said. “It was better at the end of the day because it allows us to think about the farm more holistically and as a whole farm ecosystem.” Josh and Rama are getting more inquiries from dairy farmers interested in doing their own on-farm bottling and processing all the time because of depressed milk prices. However, they
are quick to caution that farmstead creameries and direct marketing are not for everyone. “I love making cheese, but that doesn’t mean everyone does,” Rama said. Josh added that farmers seriously considering such a venture need to keep their strengths and weaknesses in mind, particularly because of the nancial, physical and mental investments that are required. “Other dairy farmers are coming to us and asking, ‘How in the world are you doing this?’” Josh said. “But this is much different compared to just sending milk out the milkhouse door on a truck. Do you have $200,000 up front to buy cheesemaking equipment? You really need to think hard about the values of your farm, the health of your farm, and your work-life balance because on top of farming, direct marketing takes a lot of time and energy on top of everything you’re already doing.” The cheesemaking venture is going so well that both husband and wife readily admit they would do it all over again, albeit a little differently. “Our goal is to move more in a wholesale direction to alleviate the stress of direct marketing and farmers’ markets,” Josh said. “We want to grow incrementally and strategically. Right now, we are lucky that our demand is greater than our supply, but it’s easy to get on the other side of that equation.” Even the story behind the name of their creamery is a perfect metaphor for everything that the folks behind Cosmic Wheel Creamery and Turnip Rock Farm are doing with their vegetables, cows and cheese. “My friend makes wood-red pizza and couldn’t think of a name, so I suggested Cosmic Wheel. Then, I realized I wanted it,” Rama said, laughing. “It sums up the circle of life that is happening on our farm.”

tion systems. “Cover crops not only protect the soil, they increase soil health due to increased biological activity,” Berg said. “Cover crops have been used for a long time to enhance soil fertility. But their popularity fell with the advent of commercial fertilizers.” Berg recommended planting a broadleaf cover crop after a grass crop, and a grass cover crop following a broadleaf crop. Sara Berg SDSU Extension “ C e r e a l grains such as rye or triticale are good cover crops for this area,” Berg said. “They are winter tolerant and tough to kill. But in the springtime, you need to terminate the crop before it begins to take up too much soil moisture.

Cool-season cover crops planted after harvest can be a source for fall grazing or forages. These cover crops can also boost soil fertility. “In an experiment we conducted on a dairy farm that hadn’t previously used cover crops, we found that adding a fall cover crop increased the amount of nitrate that was made available to the next spring’s crop,” Berg said. “The addition of cover crops to the dairy’s crop rotaJim Paulson Fieldstone Consulting tion enabled the dairyman to use less fertilizer. This is because the cover crop was taking up soil nitrogen and recycling it for the following crop.” Berg encouraged producers to experiment with different blends of cover crop seed. “Don’t be afraid to create your own cover crop seed blend,” she said. “Cover crops go hand-in-hand with no-till systems. But you need to calibrate your drill correctly to attain good soil contact and proper seeding rates.” Jim Paulson, a nutrition and forage specialist with Fieldstone Consulting, spoke about incorporating cover crops into a dairy ration. “We are all aware of the struggles that the city of Des Moines has had with high nitrate levels in the Raccoon River,” Paulson said. “Many of our rivers are higher in nutrients than is acceptable. We as an industry have to think about what to do about this.” Paulson said cover crops can help control nutrient runoff while providing forage and grazing options for producers. “Every time we disturb the soil, we interfere with its structure and its Turn to WORKSHOP | Page 5

ability to absorb water. We need to keep something growing on the soil at all times to keep it covered,” Paulson said. “One way to do this is to set a goal of harvesting three crops every two years.” Paulson said there are multiple ways to achieve this goal. “You can plant a cover crop as soon as your corn is harvested for silage. Or maybe you have a eld of alfalfa that’s no longer optimal. You can take the rst cutting, then seed the eld into oats or triticale. Cereal grains can put down some pretty good roots in 60 days.” The practice of interseeding cover crops into an existing crop isn’t new. Paulson displayed a 1906
photo of a horse-drawn seeder that was used to plant wheat between rows of growing corn. “Interseeding cover crops into growing corn from the air has had mixed results,” Paulson said. “It works if you get a heavy rain right after you y on the seed. Otherwise, you are looking at germination rates of about 50 percent. And boosting the seeding rate to get a good stand adds to your expense. We are working on new methods for interseeding cover crops into corn.” Paulson said a good cover crop option might be to plant oats or another cool-season spring grain after mid-August. “We can fool the plant by seeding it when the
days are growing shorter. The plant doesn’t get the signal to put out a seed head, so it retains a high sugar content and low lignin. You can graze the crop or put it up as hay or silage. Small grain silage or hay can give your animals a healthier, more varied diet.” Paulson encouraged dairy producers to make cover crops a part of their cropping system. “I believe that the absence of livestock across the Midwest is a part of our water quality problems,” he said. “Cover crops that are raised for forage or for grazing protect the soil and help keep nutrients in place.”

Building her numbers up after disaster
Lyseth overcomes stray voltage in Jersey herd By Brittany Olson
brittany.o@dairystar.com
CLOVERDALE, Minn. – Kayti Lyseth fondly remembers the day she got into the Jersey registered business a decade ago. “We always had Jerseys around, but they were all grades,” Lyseth said. Lyseth, who milks 72 cows with

her dad, Joe, near Cloverdale, Minn., was just 12 years old when she found herself in a bidding war for a heifer during the Top of the World Jersey auction at World Dairy Expo in 2007. Lyseth bought that heifer, Norse Star Juris Presence, from Michael Fremstad of Westby, Wis., to the tune of $2,100. “Then, that guy realized he was bidding against a 12-year-old girl and backed out. The auctioneer came and shook my hand, and that heifer was my rst registered Jersey,” Lyseth said. As they say, the rest is history; of the 72 milking Jerseys at Lyseth’s farm, 11 of those cows carry her prex, Swede Alley, named after the road she and her dad live on. “With dry cows and youngstock, I have about 28 Jerseys in total,” Lyseth said. “In addition to growing my own cow families, I’ve grown my herd through purchasing other animals, as well.” While Lyseth’s herd has grown since she brought Presence home, it would have grown more had there not been some signicant ups and downs along the way. In 2014, despite record high milk prices and milking around 100 cows in their double-5 parlor, the Lyseths were rocked by an adversary they never anticipated. “We had cows getting wicked mastitis and dropping dead left and right,” Joe said. “We were told that we were prepping cows wrong, so we changed [teat] dips and didn’t get anywhere. I’d been milking cows since high school only to be told that I was milking cows wrong.” After wracking their brains trying

KayƟ Lyseth greets one of her calves during a chilly morning aŌer chores. a telltale sign of stray voltage. “We lost half of our milking herd and 90 percent of our heifers to stray voltage,” Lyseth said. “Then, because the calves’ immune systems were so weak, we lost just about all of them after their rst three days, too.” The stray voltage malady indirectly contributed to the Lyseths losing more of their cattle after contracting liver ukes. “They weren’t drinking from the waterers because of the stray voltage, so they were drinking out of ponds out on pasture,” Lyseth said. “We lost six or seven cows to liver ukes, and half of them were mine.” Because of those steep losses, and because she loves the showring, Lyseth’s breeding philosophy focuses strictly on type with a little production thrown into the mix when she chooses bulls to use on her cattle. “I can’t compete with larger farms for production, so I’m hoping to make up money lost when we lost so many cattle in selling genetics,” Lyseth said. Her dad, who leans more toward production bulls, has a different way of looking at it. “She likes show cows,” Joe said, chuckling. Presence’s one and only heifer calf would go onto win honorable mention junior champion of the 4-H show at the Minnesota State Fair, giving Lyseth all the more reason to focus on type when
mating heifers or cows. After purchasing eight heifers from a Jersey breeder before he moved to Australia, Lyseth took one of that group to the North American International Livestock Exposition in Louisville, Ky., to the All-American Jersey Show during her last year as a junior exhibitor at the nudging of Jersey enthusiast Margaret Reiman. “Sassy, that spring calf, ended up taking third place in her class,” Lyseth said. “I won showmanship that year, as well.” After graduating from the University of Wisconsin-River Falls with a degree in agricultural business a month ago, Lyseth is glad to be home with her dad and her beloved brown cows. Unfortunately, dairy markets are currently not conducive to father and daughter farming together and Joe is nearing retirement age. “I’m applying for jobs right now because the current dairy climate won’t allow for the farm to support us both,” Lyseth said. “I’ll always keep my herd going, though, no matter what happens.” Come what may, Kayti Lyseth’s goal was to grow her herd no matter what since bringing home her rst registered Jersey heifer. “It would have taken off more without bumps in the road, but you take it in stride because that’s how farming goes,” Lyseth said.

Birds just love this barn. The webs in these trusses are easy nest areas for birds. They also restrict air flow which leads to poor ventilation and moisture buildup in the building.

Understanding reproductive cycle paramount to increased fertility Heat detection requires diligence, observation By Danielle Nauman danielle.n@dairystar.com
WITHEE, Wis. – Accurate heat detection is key to getting cows bred and limiting days open in dairy herds. Accurate heat detection takes dedication, time for observation and an understanding of the reproductive cycle of a dairy cow. Marathon County UWExtension agent Heather Schlesser explained the estrous cycle of a dairy cow in great detail to those in attendance at the dairy management meetings held Dec. 13 in Withee, Wis. The average heat cycle of a dairy cow is approximately 21 days and is divided into two major phases, both which are named for the primary structure on the ovary during that phase: follicular and luteal. The follicular phase of the estrous cycle typically lasts three to four days, which accounts for 20 percent of the
cycle. The follicular phase is marked by the regression of the corpus luteum (CL). The follicle is the dominant structure on the ovary during this phase and estrogen is the dominant hormone. Estrogen is the reproductive hormone that is produced by the follicle and causes the cow to come into heat. The luteal phase is comprised of 17 days, or 80 percent, of the cow’s cycle. Ovulation occurs during this phase, which causes the regression of the corpus luteum. During the luteal phase, the corpus luteum is the dominant structure and progesterone is the dominant hormone. Progesterone serves to keep the uterus quiet which will allow a fertilized egg to implant into its wall. During the luteal phase, follicles will still continue to grow and regress but do not ovulate. Within the two major phases, the estrous cycle is further broken down into four stages. During the follicular

phase are the proestrus and estrus stages, and the metestrus and diestrus stages occur during the luteal phase. Formation of the ovulatory follicles and estrogen secretion occur during the stage of
proestrus, which begins on day 17 of the cycle with the breakdown of the CL and goes through to day one, when a cow ovulates. When the cow enters the estrus stage, she is at the peak of both estrogen secretion
and sexual receptivity. During estrus she will stand when mounted by another animal and will attempt to mount other Turn to FERTILITY | Page 9
Dairy Star - Third Section • Saturday, January 27, 2018 • Page 9
ConƟnued from FERTILITY | Page 8 animals. Metestrus occurs during the luteal phase, from day two through ve of the cycle, when the CL begins to form and progesterone secretion begins. Metestrus is followed by the diestrus stage which is the majority of the time spent in the luteal phase, going from day ve through day 17, when the CL degrades. During diestrus there is a sustained luteal secretion of progesterone taking place. In the follicular phase four, signicant events occur. Gonadotropins are released from the brain, in the form of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). Follicular preparations for ovulation take place. Sexual receptivity begins to increase and cows begin to display outward signs of estrus by exhibiting standing and mounting behaviors. When a cow is in standing heat, she has not yet ovulated. Ovulation occurs following standing estrus behaviors. Follicle development is the result of an interaction between the brain and the ovaries and is dependent on the amount of estrogen present. In the recruitment phase of follicular development, small antral follicles begin to grow and
produce estrogen. While most of the follicles will go through atresia, or degeneration, one follicle is selected and becomes dominant, while levels of estrogen and inhibin begin to increase. There are three signicant events that occur during the luteal phase, the primary being the formation of the CL and the production of progesterone, which prohibits ovulation of new follicles. Near the end of the luteal phase, the CL begins to breakdown, or undergoes luteolysis. Cows are said to be cystic when they have a CL that does not regress properly. Stress and malnutrition can be factors in causing a cow to become cystic. Once the reproductive cycle is understood, understanding the behavior displayed by cows in estrus will allow producers to better determine the optimum times to breed their cows. Detecting heats accurately requires a great deal of time and observation. Early in their heat, cows may show signs of increased restlessness and move about more than their normal routine. They may also bellow more and act nervous. Attempts may be made to mount other animals. A very
small amount of watery mucus may be present at this time, but the cow is not ready to breed at this point. Further into their heat, a cow will come into what is commonly referred to as a standing heat, meaning she will stand to be mounted by another animal. At this time, she is interested in others in her surroundings and will abandon her normal routines of eating and resting. Her vulva will present as swollen and possibly red and will have an abundant, clear, sticky mucus present. As a cow comes out of her heat, she will no longer stand to be mounted but may continue to mount other animals. She often has roughed up hair on her tailhead and may present a bloody discharge which comes from the rupture of the follicle at ovulation. Adequate and consistent times should be scheduled when heat detection is the only function a person is performing. Observing a group of cows for heat detection should be done twice a day for 30 minutes each time, once early in the morning and once late at night. Studies have shown that 70 percent of standing heats are observed between the hours of 6 p.m. through 6
a.m., and another 22 percent of standing heats can be witnessed from the hours of 6 a.m. through noon. Little heat activity is typically observed during the daytime hours of noon through 6 p.m. Once a cow is observed in a standing heat, the question is when she should be bred for optimum conception. The time from the onset of estrus to ovulation is typically 24 to 32 hours. Sperm needs to be in the reproductive tract prior to ovulation so that it can mature appropriately. Inseminating from 4 to 14 hours from the onset of estrus provides the optimum time frame to increase conception. Increasing success in heat detection can often rely on assigning one person to be in charge of watching for heats. This allows this person to become knowledgeable about each cow’s normal behavior and routine, making it easier to determine if she is acting differently than normal. The person in charge of heat detection needs to have a good understanding of the estrous cycle and the signs of cows being in heat, and take accurate notes and details to record all heat dates on all individuals.
