All day long, buyers showed they are willing to pay a premium for the proven genetic value that comes from genotyping. Nine of the top 10 prices paid for female lots were for genotyped individuals or choices out of genotyped dams and the 22 genotyped female lots sold for an average of $8,536.67. Consigners who invested in the technology using either the 50K chip or the 3K chip were positioned to capitalize on the demand. When the dust settled, a breed-record $100,000 had been paid to syndicate a young bull and another 10 consignments
had been struck off for $10,000 or more. The sale average of $7,006.82 on 66 lots is the second high for the series, as is the gross of $462,450. The 64 female lots that crossed the auction block brought an average of $5,229.69. The overall sale average ranks as the seventh high in breed history. Forty-six buyers from 15 states coast-tocoast and border-to-border made purchases at The 58th All American Jersey Sale, held on November 7 at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville, Ky. The Bulls Though Jersey breeders have always been enthusiastic about The All American Jersey Sale, the fervor for this year’s event was sparked several months ago when Jersey Marketing Service announced that the breed’s top young bull for Genomic Jersey Performance Index (GJPI), Sunset Canyon Dominican-ET, would be syndicated. At the time, the young “Dominican’s” GJPI of +235 was 33 points higher than that of the leading bull on the list of Genomically Tested Bulls and 38 points higher than the top bull on the list of Active and Foreign Bulls Marketed in the U.S. His published genomic evaluation stood at +1,397M, +45F, +45P and +663CM$. His genomic evaluation for final score was +1.3. In anticipation of strong demand, shares were sold on a first-come, first-served basis, with just 50 shares available at $2,000 per share.

The daughter of Bridon Remake Comerica-ET, GJPI -78, is due to Lencrest On Time-ET, GJPI +23, in late February. Her dam, Family Hill Avery Fire, is one of the three Excellent-95% maternal sisters. The daughter of Bancrest Lester Avery, GJPI +37, was tapped as Grand Champion of the Western National Jersey Show in 2007 and again topped her class at the show as an aged cow this summer. She has a three lactation m.e. average of 21,757–951–767. One of “Fire’s” maternal sisters, Family Hill Sambo Fern, Excellent-95%, is the

First Three-Time National Grand Champion Crowned
H
istory was made on November 8, 2010, in Louisville, Ky. For the first time in the 57-year history of The All American Jersey Show, a cow was named National Grand Champion for the third time. And it was a back-to-back-to-back win for Ratliff Price Alicia. For the third consecutive year, “Alicia” and her owners, Christy and Ron Ratliff, Garnett, Kan., captured the coveted title of National Grand Champion. Standing beside her in the winner’s circle was last year’s Reserve National Grand Champion, Frederick 2783 Adventure, owned and exhibited by S. Lackey, H. Rader, G. Iager, and C. and E. Walton, Carlisle, Pa. While back-to-back championships have only happened five times in the history of the show, never before has a cow repeated three consecutive years—nor have a pair of cows come back and won Grand and Reserve in consecutive years. “She is an extreme dairy and quality cow,” said Judge Hank Van Exel of “Alicia” as Christy Ratliff led her to the center of the ring. “There has been tremendous quality of animals brought out here today and each and every exhibitor should be complimented on them.” “It is a little closer placing with our Reserve Champion,” said Van Exel as Emily Thornburg, Carlisle, Pa., led “Adventure” to the middle of the ring. “But the balance of teat placement on the udder floor is what makes the difference between the second place five-year-old and aged cow.” Van Exel, with his consultant, Thomas
“Moss” McCauley, Lowell, Mich., was charged with sorting through the 388 Registered Jerseys in The All American Jersey Show. This was Van Exel’s second time to judge the premier Jersey show in the United States. He judged the show for the first time in 2002. He and his wife, Carolyn, and their children, own and operate two dairies in Lodi, Calif., totaling 1,600 cows. Among Hank’s numerous judging assignments are the International Holstein Show at World Dairy Expo, Eastern National Holstein Show, The Royal Winter Fair Holstein Show and the Midwest Jersey Spring Show. Cattle from the Van Exel herd have garnered numerous awards in the show ring over the years, and the family has received the Premier Exhibitor award multiple times at the California State Fair. In 2003, the Van Exel’s won the National Jersey Jug Futurity with an animal of their own breeding. His consultant, “Moss” McCauley, has worked with outstanding Holstein and Jersey herds across the country. Today, he and his wife, Renee, own Tumbleweed Holsteins and Jerseys. A graduate of Penn State, he worked for many years at EmTran, the company founded by father Alan McCauley, a pioneer in embryo transfer, and his partners. At the 2009 World Dairy Expo, McCauley won the coveted Klussendorf-MacKenzie Award. Championship Classes “It’s getting down to the climax of a great show here today,” said Van Exel during his

grand champion reasons. “I really like the cows I have out here. They are all razor sharp and dairy, strong and have a lot of substance to them.” As the crowd admired the two Intermediate Champions, the National Jersey Jug Futurity Winners, the two Senior Champions and the two Junior Champions, Judge Van Exel made the announcement, “We are going with these two five-year-old cows.” As applause filled Freedom Hall, Ratliff and Thornburg made their way to the center of the ring with “Alicia” and “Adventure”

to taking their place in the history books of The All American Jersey Show. “This champion cow is an extreme dairy and quality cow,” finished Van Exel. Intermediate and Senior Champions “With this kind of quality and this kind of cow it’s pretty easy to get excited,” praised Judge Van Exel during his Intermediate Champion class. “I am selecting the two junior three-year-olds as my intermediate champions today.” “This is an unbelievable frame on a cow,”
Ratliff Price Alicia and Frederick 2783 Adventure were selected as the Senior and Reserve Senior Champions prior to capturing Grand and Reserve Champion honors of The 2010 All American Jersey Show.

said Van Exel of Heather Ridge Lady Di exhibited by Nic, Jeni, Ben and Andy Sauder, Tremont, Ill. “I didn’t make her best udder in class, but my cow in second has what I think is the best udder of the show so far, and she will be my Reserve Intermediate Champion.” Taking home the reserve honors was Norse Star Tequila Katie, bred and owned by Norse Star Jerseys, Westby, Wis., and led by Jenny Thomas, Cable, Ohio.

Hillacres Morrae Maryland Captures the Breed’s Richest Purse
A
s the lights dimmed in Freedom Hall before the start of the 57th National Jersey Jug Futurity, country music singer/ songwriter, Levi Riggs took center stage to sing “In the Still of the Night.” The up-and-coming young recording star is no stranger to Jersey circles as he is the nephew of Mike and Anna Riggs, Windridge Jersey Farm, Danville, Ind. As Riggs completed his rousing rendition of the song and the lights came back up, 32 three-year-old cows began their quest to capture the breed’s largest, oldest and richest purse of any show—$11,300. After nearly two hours of showcasing some of the best three-year-olds in the world, Hillacres Morrae Maryland owned by Peter Vail, Kinderhook, N.Y., and Budjon Farms, Lomira, Wis., took her place in the All American history books as the 57th winner of the National Jersey Jug Futurity. Purchased in the 2009 Top 10 Jersey Sale by Vail and Budjon Farms, “Maryland” already had a long list of accomplishments on her resume. She was third Senior Calf at the 2007 Mid-Atlantic Regional Show and Reserve Intermediate Champion at the 2009 Wisconsin Spring Spectacular. Earlier in 2010, “Maryland” defended her Reserve Intermediate Champion title of the Wisconsin Spring Spectacular. The senior three-year-old was bred by Thomas Arrowsmith, Peach Bottom, Pa. Since the Futurity began in 1954, over 38,000 Registered JerseysTM have been nominated. Over 3,180 of them have come to the show and competed for more than $414,000. Each year, breeders from around the United States select and nominate their calves for the National Jersey Jug Futurity. An annual fee is then paid to retain that animal’s place in the competition. Three years after the original nomination, the cows travel to Louisville, Ky., to participate
in what remains arguably the most glamorous show in the world. The Pre-Show Ceremonies “In the Still of the Night” was the theme chosen to showcase the class in Freedom Hall. Stars and spotlights set off the stage where a canvas backdrop featured a silhouette of a Jersey cow and her newborn calf. An antique replica of the Jersey Jug also adorned the stage that would seat the National Jersey Queen and her court. In the darkened arena, the spotlight centered on the new National Jersey Queen and her court. Crowned the evening before as the 2010 National Jersey Queen was Lena Sweeney, Visalia, Calif. She was selected from a group of seven candidates. Sweeney attends Stanford University where she is studying biology and Spanish. Upon her graduation she plans to attend medical school. “I’ve worked extensively on nutrition and food justice issues both on campus and home in the Central Valley through my involvement in service projects,” she wrote in her application. “Studying at Stanford, which seems to be the heart of the slowfood, organic and green movements, has allowed me to focus my final projects in several courses on the dairy industry from different perspectives: health, environment and sustainability.” Sweeney was a member of the inaugural class of Jersey Youth Academy and has participated in the National Jersey Youth Production Contest and the Pot O’Gold Production Contest. Sitting on each side of Lena were the two alternates. Selected as the first alternate was Tera Koebel, Three Oaks, Mich. The Michigan State University student has goals of working internationally as an advocate

for the dairy industry and more specifically the Jersey breed. Koebel had a big weekend in Louisville, as a heifer she bred and consigned to the 2007 Pot O’Gold Sale placed third in the production contest this year. She also exhibited the Premier Performance cow of the 2010 All American Junior Jersey Show prior to being named to the court. Named as second alternate was Amber Ettinger, Kinards, S.C. She is a dairy science major at Virginia Tech, and is deeply involved in community service activities, receiving the President’s Volunteer Service Award for South Carolina and being named the Outstanding Junior Civitan of the Year. She placed fifth in the National Jersey Youth Achievement contest and was a member of the inaugural class of Jersey Youth Academy. Escorting the queens were three young men actively involved in the Jersey youth programs: Colin Russell, Hilmar, Calif., Billy Grammer, Sebring, Ohio, and Tommy Allen, Reedsburg, Wis. Honoring Our Nation Levi Riggs again took center stage and sang the National Anthem as seven youth from the state of Ohio carried the American Flag to the center of Freedom Hall. Displaying the flag were: Jody Williams, McConnelsville; Ashley Hawvermale, Wooster; Jordan Ziegler, Galloway; Justin Lemmermen, Galloway; Ethan Starkey, Mechanicsburg; Greg Cornish, North Fairfield; and Grace Hageman, Sidney.
From the 950 nominations made in 2007, 32 three-year-olds entered the ring and took their turn in the spotlight for a formal introduction by AJCA-NAJ Executive Secretary Neal Smith. Bob Jarrell, Corbyville, Ontario, served as the judge and Michael Hurst, Waynesville, Ohio, served as his consultant. The Final Six As the lights came back up, the cows made their trek around the ring. The judges observed the class from all angles and began to make their cuts. The crowd eagerly
picked their favorites for the “railbird competition.” Soon the judges had it narrowed down to their top six contenders. • Hillacres Morrae Maryland, owned by Peter Vail and Budjon Farms, Lomira, Wis., and shown by Kelli Cull • DeMents Jade Rockybell, bred and owned by Janell M. Baum, Clinton, Ill., and shown by Ted DeMent • TC Sultan 1210 Bessie, owned by Cameron and Krista Lutz, Lincolnton, N.C., and shown by Kevin Lutz (continued to page 50)

The Reasons As the final six paraded one more time in front of the standing room only crowd at Freedom Hall, the judges made their final placings. They handed a sheet of paper with the results on it to Master of Ceremonies Neal Smith to count down in reverse order—from sixth, to fifth, then to fourth, third and until only two cows were left in the center of the ring—DeMents Jade Rockybell and Hillacres Morrae Maryland. As the crowd watched, consultant Hurst walked to the center of the ring and shook the hand of Kelli Cull on the halter of “Maryland” the 57th winner of the National Jersey Jug Futurity. “This is one of the greatest shows in the world,” said Judge Jarrell. “Thank you for

allowing me the opportunity to judge today.” As Cull and DeMent walked “Maryland” and “Rockybell” to their places at the head of the line, Judge Jarrell continued. “We have two beautiful cows at the top of the class and this first cow is almost flawless.” “I give her the advantage today over the cow in second in the height and width of her rear udder,” explained Jarrell. “And when you break down these two cows and put them together, the first place cow has more spring to both her fore and rear rib
than the beautiful cow in second.” “The cow in third really blends in well with the top pair,” continued Jarrell of Ratliff Ren Kendra-ET. “We just love the chrome on her udder,” said Jarrell. “We love her style and overall balance.” “Her dairyness and silkiness gives her the advantage over the cow in fourth,” continued Jarrell when comparing “Kendra” with UHT Canaan Excalibur Brooklynn. “The (continued to page 52)

Page 54
A strong commitment to the Jersey breed and measurable success in the show ring and bulk tank have earned Jim VanBuskirk, Carleton, Mich., the 2010 Max Gordon Recognition Award. Jim, his wife, Jan, and son David, own and operate JVB Red Hot Jerseys, a sesquicentennial farm dated to 1835. He also has three daughters and many grandchildren active in the Jersey breed. The Max Gordon Recognition Award is given annually to an exhibitor who possesses the f ive key elements for which the award’s namesake stood: sportsmanship, ethics, professionalism, ability and promotion of the Jersey cow. Each recipient is selected by a committee of previous Max Gordon award winners. “Jim truly exemplifies the qualities needed to match the requirements of this award,” said Phil Gordon, Syracuse, Ind., son of the late Max Gordon. “His longtime, excellent sportsmanship and the good nature he has exhibited to other Jersey enthusiasts makes him the perfect recipient for this award. Jim purchased his first Registered Jersey in 1952 as a 4-H project and went on to take over the family dairy from his grandfather in 1960. Today the farm consists of 132 cows and a nearly equal amount of young stock. The family also produces their own corn, alfalfa and soybeans on 400 acres and is enrolled in the Equity program and a contract advertiser in the Jersey Journal. Showing their Registered Jerseys has brought the farm much success. Jim has exhibited animals at The All American Jersey Show since 1982. In the 2004 National Jersey Jug Futurity, the family bred and exhibited the Reserve Winner, JVB Red Hot C Zsa. This was the third time a JVB-bred animal was named Reserve Winner of the prestigious class. Jim has also served on the All American Sale Committee and the All American Junior Show Committee, in addition to judging many dairy shows and supporting numerous sales throughout the United States and Canada. Jim’s granddaughter, Erin Williams, McConnelsville, Ohio, exhibited the Grand Champion of The All American Junior Show this fall. JVB Red Hot Jerseys currently has 14 Excellent cows in their barn, and one Very Good-87% cow, Hapalson Jace 1787, ranked on the Top 1.5% JPI list with a JPI of +138. Of their heifers, there are three ranked on the Top 500 JPI list (genomic and traditional). The third quarter Hall of Fame Lactation list featured one of the Excellent cows from the VanBuskirk
dairy, JVB Red Hot Mor Belinda-ET, Excellent-94%, with a record of 25,120 lbs. milk, 1,236 lbs. fat, 887 lbs. protein and a cheese yield of 3,066 lbs. They also have seven homebred A.I. bulls listed in the Green Book (December 2010). Throughout the years Jim has held many leadership positions among industry organizations. He served his first term as an AJCA Director in 2005, and is currently serving his second term, in which he is Vice President. Jim has also been very active on the local level with the Michigan Jersey Cattle Club (MJCC) where he served as president for nine years and even director of the organization for several additional years. His good-will has been recognized among his peers, as he has received both the MJCC Distinguished Service Award and the MJCC Distinguished Breeder Award. For more than 45 years, he has been a DHIA member and served as president of the local chapter for 20 years. A 40-year 4-H leader in Monroe County, Jim also fulfilled a four-year term as a state 4-H advisor. Jim has also devoted time to the local and state Farm Bureau. He has served as director of the county chapter for 12 years and four years as president. Under his leadership, the county affiliate won top honors in the state. On the state level, he served on the resolution committee for two years and was a state Farm Bureau dairy committee member for six years. VanBuskirk served on the Monroe County Extension Advisory Committee for 10 years and has been involved with the Michigan State Fair Dairy Advisory Committee for more than 25 years. He was active on the Ash Township Planning Commission for 12 years, serving as chairman for three of the years and has served as president of the Monroe County Farm Service Agency. “Jim has been a great ambassador to Canadian and U.S. Jersey breeders,” said Phil Gordon. “He has given a great deal of assistance to foster good relations among the breed, all while being a great friend to the Jersey cow and Jersey breeders.” In recognition of his accomplishments, VanBuskirk’s name was engraved on a rotating trophy featuring a sculpture of Wonderful Dreaming Givia, the first All American Grand Champion female, bred and exhibited by Max Gordon. Previous winners include Brian Sayles of Paris, Ont. (2009); Mike Stiles, Va. (2008); Harry Mykrantz, Ohio (2007); Ronnie Rider, Ky. (2006); Chuck Myers, Ohio (2005); Charles Luchsinger, N.Y.

or Erin Williams, McConnelsville, Ohio, the love of Jersey cows runs deep in her veins. The senior in high school is the third generation of Williams and VanBuskirk families to show at The All American Jersey Show. On November 6, 2010, she added another accolade to the family Jersey history—Grand Champion of The All American Junior Show. Williams and her four-year-old cow, Indiana Veda, were chosen from 217 Registered Jerseys in the 58th national Junior show. The winner’s circle at The All American Jersey show is familiar to both sides of her family. The Williams family has bred and owned two National Jersey Jug Futurity Winners, a Reserve National Junior Show Champion and a Reserve National Grand Champion. The VanBuskirks have bred or owned three Reserve Winners of the National Jersey Jug Futurity. Judge Craig Padgett, Waynesburg, Ky., had the distinct duty to judge the Registered Jerseys competing for Junior All American and Reserve Junior All American honors. Assisting Padgett was his consultant, Dale Turner, Danville, Ky. “This has been a great Jersey show,” complimented Judge Padgett. “We have had the best seats in the house to watch the show and it looks like these youngsters are going to continue to carry on the tradition of breeding great Jersey cows.” The show was only the beginning of a busy day for the Jersey juniors as their morning began with the cow show at 8:00 a.m. and continued to mid-afternoon. Once the show finished, the youth hurried to the Pot O’Gold Sale in Newmarket Hall at 4:30 p.m. to make investments in their future through the 31 consignments offered. Following the sale, the juniors attended the All American Junior Banquet at 7:00 p.m. in the South Hall. During the banquet, more than 60 Jersey youth were recognized for their achievements over the past year. This was Padgett’s first time to judge The All American Junior Show. However, one year ago, he was a consultant for the same show. Padgett owns Backwoods Jerseys, Waynesburg, Ky., with his wife, Sharon,
and operates a professional hoof trimming business. Craig has judged numerous county, 4-H and FFA exhibitions throughout Kentucky and Tennessee in addition to judging open and junior shows at the Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, Indiana, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Michigan, and Louisiana state fairs. His consultant Dale Turner, Jr., and his wife, Cindy, have farming operations at Burgin, Ky. Cedar Crown and Wil-Ty are the homes to 20 Registered Jerseys and 15 Holsteins. The farm also raises nearly 200 acres of hay. He has judged many events in Kentucky and North Carolina, and has also held offices in the Kentucky Holstein Cattle Club, most recently as its president. Junior All American and Reserve Junior All Americans Named During the championship classes, a total of 26 individuals were recognized with the designation of Junior All American or Reserve Junior All American. Each f irst place individual was presented a framed All American gold seal certificate showcasing the winner’s name and class designation as a Junior All American. Framed Reserve Junior All American silver certificates were awarded to the runner-ups in each class. Executive Secretary Neal Smith and AJCA President David Chamberlain o ff e r e d t h e i r c o n g r a t u l a t i o n s a s presentations were made while the large ringside audience watched. In addition, an untold number of people across the world viewed the ceremonies on streaming live video provided by the North American International Livestock Exposition (NAILE). The Champions “You have heard me talk all day long about power, strength, and width through the front end,” said Judge Padgett. “These are the characteristics that to me spell milk and make the kind of cows that will produce the milk we expect them to.” “We have a pair of beautifully balanced cows here with high, wide rear udders— traits that Jersey cows are known for,” said Padgett. “This four-year-old cow has that.” “She has the power and strength and

“We didn’t exactly have that one cow that jumps right out at you in this class,” said Padgett of the 14 senior two-year-olds. “But this cow in first deserves to win.” Taking home first place honors and best udder of the class was TC Vindication 1251 Becky, exhibited by Krista Lutz, Lincolnton, N.C. “She has the best udder in the class and you just love that openess of rib and breed character throughout,” said Judge Padgett. Her “snugness of udder” carried her over the second place cow, Genesis Nevada Joanna, owned by Cody Bachelor. “Joanna” was the second best udder in class, first premier performance cow and protein yield deviation winner. She placed over the “big, strong” cow in third, Bridon Shyster Gilda, owned by Steven Wetmore, Mount Ulla, N.C. Senior 2-yr.-old cow (14 shown) Class sponsored by Illinois Jersey Cattle Club 1.

Following in third was the best bred and owned cow of the show, KCJF Responses Royal, bred and exhibited by Brittany Core.
For the first year, a five-year-old class was added into the junior show lineup.

Jersey producers have always generously supported programs that advance the breed, whether their focus is research or youth. Jersey producers can lend a hand to these causes with a donation to a number of programs sponsored by the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA). In this month’s Jersey Jargon, we’ll explain the options you have for contributing to Jersey-specific research or Jersey youth programs and how you can make a donation. Contributions may be made as individual gifts or as memorials. Most funds are 501 (c) (3) charitable organizations, which means donations are tax-deductible. Research Fund The AJCC Research Foundation was founded in 1967 to promote and sponsor Jersey-specific research that advances dairy technology. In the past 10 years, the Foundation has provided more than $395,000 in seed money for projects related to highpriority areas that affect the Jersey breed. Contributions from Jersey breeders have been used for projects that have greatly benefited the breed, including studies on the inheritance of the recessive traits, Limber Legs and Rectovaginal Constriction, and the development of formulas for predictive cheese yield and Production Type Index (the predecessor of Jersey Performance In-
Page 80
dex). Funds have also been used to establish the computerized mating program, JerseyMate, and are now being used to incorporate genomic evaluations into the program. In 2010, the AJCC Research Foundation and National All-Jersey Inc. committed a total of $50,250 to fund seven scientific investigations related to Jersey dairy cattle. Included in the group are projects to study the influence of subacute ruminal acidosis on milk used for cheesemaking, colostrum recommendations for Jersey calves and freezing techniques for Jersey embryos. Today’s research is an expensive undertaking and more universities are requiring their faculties to generate external sources of funding. As such, contributions to the AJCC Research Fund are as important as ever. Jersey breeders can contribute directly to the AJCC Research Fund or indirectly through purchase of items donated to the annual auction held in conjunction with the AJCA-National All-Jersey (Inc.) Annual Meetings. Jersey breeders can also contribute to the Foundation through the J. F. Cavanaugh Fund, which was established in 2010 in memory of the late James F. Cavanaugh, former executive secretary for the national Jersey organizations. The AJCC Research Foundation is recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501 (c) (3) charitable trust. Donations are tax-deductible charitable gifts. Youth Funds Jersey breeders can contribute to causes for juniors through several funds, including the AJCA Scholarship Fund, the Maurice E. Core Jersey Youth Fund, the Charlene
Nardone National Jersey Queen Fund, the Fred Stout Experience Fund and Jersey Youth Academy. In the past five years, 27 students from 16 states have earned a total of $61,100 toward their studies through scholarships managed by the AJCA. Eight scholarships are currently made available: the Cedarcrest Farms Scholarship; the Rueben Cowles Youth Award; the Paul Jackson Memorial Scholarship; the Jack C. Nisbet Scholarship; the V. L. Peterson Scholarship; the Russell-Malnati Scholarship for Advanced Studies; the William A. Russell Memorial Scholarship; and the Bob Toole Youth Award. (For more information on these scholarships, refer to any September issue of the Jersey Journal). The Maurice E. Core Jersey Youth Fund was established in 1993 to commemorate the former executive secretary’s 37 years of service to the Jersey breeds. Gifts to this fund are used toward national Jersey youth activities, primarily at The All American Jersey Show and Sale. The National Jersey Queen Fund was renamed the Charlene Nardone National Jersey Queen Fund in 2010 to recognize contributions of the late AJCA staff member to the program and the development of the National Jersey Jug Futurity. The Fred Stout Experience award is given to a high school graduate who has a strong desire to pursue a career in managing and/or marketing Registered Jersey cattle. Recipients can choose a summer marketing internship with Jersey Marketing Service (JMS) or an on-farm internship in Jersey herd management. The award is in memory of Fred J. Stout Jr., a lifelong Jersey breeder and member of the JMS staff who believed that the best learning experiences happen in the everyday world. The Jersey Youth Academy is one of the newest educational opportunities for juniors. The mission of the Jersey Youth Academy is to attract, educate and retain talented young people for careers in the Jersey business. The program was established in 2009, with the inaugural class convening in July of that year. The second, five-day Jersey Youth Academy will be held this summer at The Ohio State University. All costs for attending the program are paid for by the Academy. The 2011 National Heifer Sale will be an all-donation sale to support Jersey Youth Academy, just as the event in 2005 helped to fund the AJCC Research Foundation. All Jersey youth funds but the queen fund are 501 (c) (3) charitable organizations. For more information, contact Cherie L. Bayer, Director of Development, by phone at 614/322-4456 or by email at cbayer@ usjersey.com. JERSEY JOURNAL

kind of impact this first of its kind sale would have on the Jersey breed. The record-breaking sale was not only the archetype for the breed, but for the industry as a whole. For the first time in the dairy industry, every animal to cross the auction block had been genomically
tested, adding even more value to an already impressive lineup. The 2010 Pot O’Gold sale was yet another example of the great lengths Jersey breeders will go to be on the cutting edge of new technology. A community known for its ability to embrace change, the sale proved Jersey breeders have changed the way they think about genomics and selecting their animals. The value of this new techonolgy was noticed by the buyers and was translated into the highest grossing edition of the sale in history, bringing in $148,700 and breaking records in every sale category. With 31 lots garnering an average of $4,796.77 ($2,200 more than the previous year’s average) and six animals selling for more than $6,000, it became clear Jersey breeders were on board with the new and evolving technology. The previous record was set in 2004 when the sale grossed $89,100, for an average of $2,874.19 on 31 head. In addition to the value junior members gain from learning the importance of

In the end, this could help them recoup a portion of the purchase price from prizes earned in the production contest for animals consigned to this sale. “Consignors to the 2010 Pot O’Gold Sale took advantage of cutting edge 3K genomic testing technology to ensure that they consigned the very best their herd had to offer for this year’s offering to our junior membership,” said Dan Bauer, manager of Jersey Marketing Service. “Making use of the 3K genomic testing to select from more than 100 potential candidates, the consignors of the final 31 animals were handsomely rewarded with not only the industry’s first sale in which every consignment sold with a genomic evaluation, but also an average that shattered the previous record, and further an all-time record high seller as well.” The enthusiastic group of Jersey breeders converted their conf idence in genomic testing to dollars as they aggressively bid on the top animals of the day as 31 Jersey youth members from 13 states took home new additions for their growing herds. Heifer calves were in highest demand, with 14 lots averaging $5,228.57, followed by seven first-trimester bred heifers at $5,157.14. From the gross of this sale, 17%, or $25,279, will be set aside for the 2013 Pot O’Gold Production Contest. Prizes will be awarded to the owners of the 22 heifers that complete the highest first-lactation records as ranked by total product value. The winner will receive a check in the amount of $4,550.22, second place will

earn $2,907.09 and third place will receive $2,022.32. The heifer with the highest GJPI of the sale—Lyon Impuls Eternity—sold for the record breaking price of $10,750. This exceeded the previous high-selling individual record of $7,800 set in 2007 by Tommy Allen, Reedsburg, Wis., when he purchased Rocha Impuls Whitney. Before the use of genomic testing, “Eternity” was not on the radar of top animals, but after being tested, she jumped to the top of the list, catching the attention of many Jersey youth. Sidney J. Avila, Dalhart, Texas, won the bidding war for this coveted offering from Lyon Jerseys, Toledo, Iowa. “Eternity” is one of five animals bred by Lyon Jerseys on the Top 500 females list for GJPI. “Eternity” is a potential 10th generation Excellent or Very Good individual.

Grammer Jersey Sale Average Exceeds $1,500
In the dairy business, a packed house is a double-edged sword. The extra dollars in the milk check are great, but management can be a nightmare. It was this reality—680 head in a 500-stall barn and hundreds of cows and springers due by early spring—that prompted Bill Grammer and his family to host the Grammer Jersey Production Sale at the farm in Beloit, Ohio, on November 20, 2010. Sale Analysis
Number
Jersey breeders looking to add milk to their tanks found a lot of it at the Grammer Jerseys Production Sale. Jersey reproductive efficiency allowed the Grammers to sell off part of their herd and still maintain production.

Bill and his wife, Debra, and their sons, Billy and Ben, offered 257 head—all milking cows in their first, second or third lactation, or close-up springers—from the heart of the herd. The unseasonably cold weather didn’t stop dairy producers from attending the sale, nor did it inhibit bidding. The sale averaged a solid $1,548.74 and grossed a tremendous $398,025, with 33 Jersey breeders from nine states making purchases. The Grammers were in a position to capitalize on their equity because, first, they chose to milk Jerseys, and then made
well-planned matings, used breed-leading sires and sexed semen and carefully managed the herd. The rolling herd average for 2009 stands at 18,421 lbs. milk, 905 lbs. fat and 659 lbs. protein. The average Jersey Performance Index (JPI) is +32, with Predicted Transmitting Abilities of +261M, +9F and +7P. Of the 955 heifers in the calf pens, 390 are level P7 or higher. It was a fellow Ohio Jersey breeder, Luke Mattevi of Lisbon, who took home the high seller, Grammer Louie Spark, for $3,700. The 20-month-old daughter of BHF-SSF Parade Louie-ET, GJPI +96, is due to Sunset Canyon Maximum-ET, GJPI +129, with sexed semen in early January. Her dam, Forest Glen Hallmark Sparkle-ET, is a Very Good-87% daughter of Schultz Brook Hallmark, GJPI +50, with six lactations—three of them over 20,000 lbs. milk—and a best record of 6-8 305 3X 24,420 4.7% 1,138 3.4% 831 100DCR.
The Grammers purchased “Sparkle” from Forest Glen Jerseys, Dayton, Ore., at the National Heifer Sale in 2002. She has three Very Good maternal sisters bred by Forest Glen, all with best records in excess of 17,200 lbs. milk. “Spark’s” grandam, Osceola Pancho Sparkel A 251, Excellent-94%, produced more than 28,000 lbs. milk in her third lactation and followed it up with 29,950 lbs. milk, 1,236 lbs. fat and 993 lbs. protein in her next lactation. Her third dam has a best record of 4-0 305 17,010 4.6% 783 3.7% 629 DHIR. Her fourth dam is appraised Very Good-89% and has an m.e. average of 19,041–917–699 on two lactations. The volume buyers of the sale, William, Bradley and Everdina Pickert, Berthoud, Colo., purchased the second high seller for $2,600. The Pickerts were the final bidders on GR Grammer Jacinto Bonalee, a first-calf heifer sired by Mason Lemvig Jacinto-ET, GJPI +46. She calved the last day of September and gave 60 lbs. of milk on her November test. She appraised Very Good-83% at 2-1 a week before the sale. “Bonalee’s” is a Very Good-85% daughter of WF Brook Bomber, GJPI -10, with a two lactation m.e. average of 23,547– 1,083–801. She has one maternal sister that is appraised Excellent-90% and another that is Very Good-89%. Both have records over 27,100 lbs. milk, 1,170 lbs. fat and 890 lbs. protein. Their Very Good-81% dam is sired by Priceland Bold Daniel Beau-ET, GJPI +48. (continued to page 90)

New York Herd Dispersed
The Intervale Farm Complete Dispersal was held at the farm in Homer, N.Y., on November 15, 2010. Herd owners, Janice and Matthew Sears, put their herd of Registered Holsteins and Jerseys up for auction when the farm in the Finger Lakes region of the state was sold. The 17 Jerseys sold for an average of $1,110.59 and the 73 Holsteins brought an average of $1,508.01. The dispersal gave Jersey breeders opportunity to buy into the couple’s years of work in developing deep pedigrees and cows with show type and beautiful udders.

Young sire sampling is a vital part of Jersey breed progress. To supplement your current sampling efforts, the Jersey Journal publishes an industry-wide listing of young bulls available for sampling. Contact the marketing or sampling organization directly to learn more about a particular sampling program or to order semen from a specific bull.
Young Sire Availability Listing, January 2011
Active A.I. Bulls Ranked By GJPI, December 2010 The 132 Jersey bulls listed are coded as Active A.I. for the December 2010 USDA-AJCA Sire Summary. Bulls have a minimum 70% Reliability and are ranked by genomic Jersey Performance IndexTM (GJPI) which combines production and type trait information into a single economic index. JPI includes six factors: 42% PTA Protein, 15% PTA Fat, 15% FTI, 12% PTA PL, 10% PTA DPR, and 6% PTA SCS. Bulls marked with an asterisk (*) in the G column have genomic evaluations. The eight bulls that are not genomically tested, are listed with their traditionally calculated evaluation. These 122 bulls average +378M, +29F, +16P; for Lifetime Net Merit, Cheese Merit +$252; Net Merit +$229, and Fluid Merit NAME OF BULL

JERSEY JOURNAL
Appraisal Traits for Active A.I. Bulls Ranked By GJPI calculation and are weighted by their relative economic value in increasing net income.
Recovery were amended allowing selective recording of males whose pedigrees qualify them for registry status as PR and GR, and then for continued recording of their progeny. A male at PR level will only be recorded after parentage qualification and genomic testing and when his OA dam is genomically tested and qualified as at least 75% Jersey by approved methods. Males qualified for GR Registry status and not used for artificial insemination (A.I.) must be parentage qualified by an AJCA-approved method. For bulls used for A.I. purposes, GR registry status will be assigned only after a male is both parentage qualified and genomically tested using approved methods. For more information, contact AJCA Herd Services.
Note Regarding Registry Status Registry status codes PR and GR are an integral part of the AJCA registration name and NAAB short name (males only) for those animals recorded at the Provisional Register (PR) and Genetic Recovery (GR) levels, respectively. When animals are recorded in the AJCA Herd Register, the registry status code of HR is not included in the registration name.
