The Executive Report
Happy Spring from Snowy Northwestern PA! This morning it didn’t
feel much like spring, as I walked out the door and discovered that it
was 10 degrees!! And it is almost the end of March!! Goodness I am
ready for spring as I am sure that many of you are also. The last couple
of months have been quite busy for AMSS and myself, with announcing the 2014 All-Americans and 2014 Jr. All-Americans, membership
packets being sent and renewals coming in, to holding another successful Online Sale. In addition, we had Brian Pederson and his wife Trish
attend the International Dairy Week held in Australia in January and I
attended the USLGE conference to learn more about exporting in Missouri. While in Missouri,
I took the opportunity to visit some of our breeders – look for my report in this issue.
The coming months will be focused on various spring shows and sales and preparing for our
upcoming convention in Black River Falls, Wisconsin! It will also mark my one year anniversary working with AMSS. It seems hard to believe it has been almost 10 months! Time
has flown by.
Recently a friend of mine was having an Origami Owl jewelry book party – this is a home
sales party that was started by a 14 year old girl that allows you to make custom lockets, etc.
There is a charm in the book that caught my eye and although I did not buy it this order – the
message has stuck with me and I wanted to share it with you – “Find Joy in the Journey”. I
find it ironic because long ago my high school class motto was “Life is a Journey not a Destination.” Then I think about all the travels that I have had in my life and I have discovered that I
have been living a life full of joy especially over the last 10 months. There are definitely days
when I am trying to figure something out that I think it is a pretty hard Journey, but then I call
Dave Kendall or Casey Weiss and find out the answer and I am joyful that they are there to
lend a helping hand. So new motto – “Life is a Journey full of Joy if you don’t view it as a
Destination.”
Isn’t this really what our breed, the Milking Shorthorn is about? Our breed is one that is
ever evolving. Our breed has been on a Journey for hundreds of years tracing back to our roots
in England. People forget that without the Milking Shorthorn’s ancestors, our beautiful nation
might have failed from not having the family cow, beef and power. She was truly a remarkable
cow in the past and is one now and will take us into the future. Milking Shorthorns are a breed

President's Corner
Hello Milking Shorthorn enthusiasts!
When the thermometer hits forty degrees in West Central Ohio the season of spring begins,
which at my homestead means the children are without socks, shoes and sometimes shirts and
the sale heifers are being tied up and broke to lead in preparation for the spring sales.
Spring is always a busy time of year for us on the farm but nobody seems to mind the extra
outside work if the weather is pleasant. It is easy to push aside the inside desk work for more
enjoyable outside chores. This brings me to my point; don't miss our upcoming deadlines for
our events this summer.
We are publishing a booklet which will promote our AI sires that are available through
the bull studs or private treaty from breeders. The deadline to be included in this publication
is April 15th.
We offer many national awards that will be presented during the annual convention this
June. These include the Willard E. Gerner Meritorious Brood Cow Award, Hardy Cow Awards,
Cow of the Year, Milk Quality Award, Red, White & Roan Club, Gold Star Dam Award,
Harry Clampitt Young Breeder Award, Citizen of the Year, and the Dual Purpose Breeder of
the Year Award. All of these have a deadline of April 15th.
The National Convention registration deadline is June 1, 2015 and the National Sale entries
are due May 1, 2015.
After a long winter I am looking forward to seeing my Milking Shorthorn friends this
spring and summer!

Junia’s Journeys
DanSal Farm Milking Shorthorns
In mid-February, I was fortunate enough
to be able to attend the USLGE (United
States Livestock Genetics Export, Inc.)
annual meeting and training conference to
learn more about exporting. I spent three
days networking with other livestock exporters, in particular the key people in the
six other dairy breeds. This was held in
St. Louis, Missouri. Since I was in that part
of the country, I received the okay from
the board to do some herd visits. So after
sitting in meeting rooms in business attire,
I pulled on my jeans and put my cowboy
boots on and dressed warm to begin visiting
some farms in the great “Show Me State” of
Missouri. I drove southwest from St. Louis to the town of Graff, Missouri, to visit
the DanSal Farm owned by Dan and Sally
Burd. When I arrived, Dan met me with a
welcoming grin and asked the question that
I probably won’t ever forget – “Why is it
when someone comes from the national office whether it be a herd visit or classification – do we have such cold and horrible
weather?” He was referring to that being
the week that the temperatures were well
below normal including in St. Louis being
around zero. Being a Pennsylvania girl –
I laughed and asked Dan, “Here I thought
you were trying to make me feel at home
and trust me – I thought that it would be
warmer here!” We became quick friends
after teasing each other as I proceeded to
climb into his farm truck that truly was just
like home. We drove over to the pasture
and drove around looking at various cows
and heifers in four different pasture areas.
I was even treated to some cows getting out
through the gate that we had left open and
had to chase back in – just like home!
Dan and Sally are milking just over 80
head of Milking Shorthorns. These were
some of the first two-year-old GE Panorama
Royal Trebles and Kundes Golden Logic
Adventures that I had seen in their natural
setting. The Trebles have a district color of
slightly red-orange that makes them stand
out.
These were smaller-framed cows
and Dan stated that they are milking quite
well for him. He has also had some adult
Hard Core Othello Moonshines that I was
6
impressed with. Other bulls
Dan has been using over the
past two years include Mookin
Brunos Zeus, GE Kulp-Gen PJ
Cowboy, North Stars Presto ET
EXP, Spungold-R CD Playboy
ET and Zena Kourt Zippo. He
has used a lot of Cowboy and
the calves are on the ground
and he is looking forward to see
what they will bring to his herd.
The Burds do raise some of their own bulls
for breeding. DanSal is a commercial herd
and Dan’s breeding choices are focused on
milk production, components and in particular maintaining a low SCC. I quite enjoyed my first official farm visit with Dan
being my tour guide.
My second stop on my visits was about
20 miles away at Ernst Roth’s Lorreda
Swiss Farm in Grove Spring, Missouri.
Ernst has a herd of Brown Swiss with 20
Milking Shorthorns mixed in. When I arrived at the Roth farm, I found Ernst out
feeding calves. I love looking at young
stock and Ernst had some sweet heifers
in his pens. Currently most of his young
heifers are sired by GE Panorama Royal
Treble and Spungold R Frolic Poker-ET.
Ernst is looking to develop his cows to be
high in milk production and is extremely
concerned about what his components are.
Ernst moved to the United States from
Switzerland 14 years ago. His operation
is a commercial herd with the cattle being
on pasture with a bunk and parlor.
He
has used extensive crossbreeding, Australian Bulls, GE and herdbook Milking
Shorthorn bulls. Bulls being used on the
farm include GE Bosgowan BonJovi, Gold
Mine Frost Kourt, Blissful Teds Spurgeon
ET and GE Gold Mine RT Badger. Ernst
views his Milking Shorthorns as being a
dual purpose breed that can milk. He likes
his cows to be strong, larger-framed and
dairy. He wants them to not be frail cows
and is concerned with not enough Milking
Shorthorns staying more dual purpose. We
did talk about the Syndicate Committee and
AMSS Board looking at getting more full
herdbook sires into the stud companies.
My next stop was crossing the border out
of Missouri into Oklahoma to visit Diane
Cook at Hilltop Farms. I arrived just as Diane and her worker were finishing milking.
Diane and I jumped on a four wheeler and
went out into pasture to look at her cattle.
Hilltop has a dairy operation and a beef
operation. In recent years, Diane has sold
more of her older Milking Shorthorns for
various reasons. She still has around 20 –
25 head of Milking Shorthorns down from
her near-60 head in 2013. More of her
cows are now Brown Swiss and crossbreds.
Diane loves big-framed dairy cows that
milk. She has purchased a few cows from
the Clayside dispersal sale. She is a fan
of the Clayside Academy Rebel bull which
she had on her farm at one point. Diane
normally raises a bull for some breeding on
the farm. I enjoyed my visit with Diane and
discussing how she loves big-framed cows
that will milk. To Diane, her animals are
her life and they are family. She has several cows that are no longer producing but
are in their late teens and she tells me they
have been good to her and they deserve to
live their life out in a comfortable environment with plenty of feed. We had quite a
discussion regarding having more full herdbook bulls available for breeding and she is
concerned that our breed may be getting too
far away from our roots. Interesting to me
is that two of the three farms I had visited so
far had this thought. By now it was getting
quite dark and cold, as Diane and I stepped
Despite the cold, the Burds Shorthorns enjoy a quiet winter day outside.
The Hendricksons Milking Shorthorns
into her milk house to talk more.
Leaving Hilltop Farms in the dark, I
headed the 20 or so miles to Gravette, Arkansas, to stay overnight and visit Valley
View Farm owned by Tim Crawley. Tim
and Nicki were not home when I arrived,
but their daughters Jessica and Brittany
were and they made me feel at home after the long day.
Jessica provided me
with supper and by the time I was done
eating, Tim and Nicki arrived home from
their meeting. The next morning, Tim was
scheduled to do breeding so off we went in
the farm truck. The Crawleys have a herd
of around 225 milking head with about 130
being Milking Shorthorns and the rest Holsteins. They have a freestall barn for the
milk cows and milk in a parlor. The calves
are raised in hutches before being moved to
group hutches then pastures for the various
ages. Tim’s brother Russell is back working on the farm with Tim and in May, Tim’s
nephew will be coming back to the farm to
be the herdsman.
At the farm, I was quite impressed with
Tim’s attention to detail on his breeding
plans. He offered to let me stay in his medical/breeding room but I wanted to look at
cows, so I was with him in the free stalls.
We were able to talk about the different
cows and bulls that he has been using. Sires
in the Crawley herd include GMC Rebel
Logic ET, Kulp-Gen Jurist Ace-ET, North
Stars Presto ET EXP, GE Panorama Royal
Treble, Mysha-Wo Advent Liriano-ET and
Blissful Teds Spurgeon ET. In addition,
he has had several herd bulls that he used.
Tim is concerned with milk production
and components when picking sires. Tim
had a different view on the size of Milking
Shorthorns; he likes his cows not to be over
1,400 pounds because he believes they are
not as efficient when they are larger.
I left the Crawleys around noon and
headed north back into Missouri to Appleton City to visit Paul and Marian Wheeler
of Ridge View Acres. By the time I arrived
at the Wheelers, it had begun to snow and
sleet some. Paul and I went to look at his
30 head of Native Milking Shorthorns. He
focuses more on the cow-calf grazing herd
and is quite proud of his cows. He raises
bulls to use for breeding and currently has
Ridge View Candy Man 96-N-P and Ridge
View RD Able 1003 N-P that he has been
using. Paul and Marian were full of the
history of the breed and excited about their
cattle tracing back to the Coates herdbook.
They are also quite proud of being able to
donate beef from their cows to the local
community to support a fundraising effort.
Although their herd today is small in number, they are an outstanding group of cattle
with a solid frame and good feet and legs.
Their cows remind me of the cows that we
had on our farm when I was growing up - a
good solid cow, good udder that produces
well with a good set of feet and legs. I was
quite impressed with my first visit to a Native herd and look forward to seeing more
of this segment of our breed.
As I left the Wheelers', Marian called
ahead to my next stop since the weather
was turning quickly worse. A drive that
should have been a nice hour and half
turned into much longer as I had my first
experience with freezing rain and accumulating ice in Missouri. Being a Pennsylvania girl, storms do not concern me to drive
in, however this ice is not something I was
used to. I did arrive safely in Sedalia, Missouri, at the Nile Valley Farm operated by
Doyle and Alice Hendrickson. I think that
I might have given Doyle quite a workout
as he was pacing the floor concerned about
my safety, which I greatly appreciate.
The Hendricksons have 100 head of
grazing Milking Shorthorns. Doyle milked
his herd until the day he turned 65 when
he stopped milking and turned the herd
into a cow-calf grazing herd. Although the
herd is not Native, Doyle has the records
that trace his herd back to a grandfather
that imported the Shorthorns from England and later sold the cattle to Doyle’s
other grandfather. The second grandfather
did not view registration papers as important, therefore the Native status cannot be
traced. The Hendricksons have records on
their cattle that rival any large business. I
was very impressed with the various items
that they track on their cattle. Beyond the
normal pedigree information, each calf at
birth is weighed, measured and tagged. A
calf was born the morning that I was there
and Doyle and Alice were right in the barn
taking care of the items that needed to be
recorded. The various items recorded are
repeated throughout the life of the animal
at weaning, at yearling and mature. By recording these measurements they are able
to track the rate of gain on their cattle. In
addition, their measurements are used for
culling out the traits that they do not want
in their herd. The Nile Valley Formula for
Working Type Animals includes vigor, udder quality, body condition, good feet and
legs, calving ease and temperament (a necessity that cannot be overlooked).
Another management practice that the
Hendricksons use is testing their cattle
by Igenity, which is a DNA test that allows them to understand and manage the
potential for their animals to perform and
transmit traits of economic importance.
The profile includes: Caracass Composition, Carcass Quality, Maternal and Reproductive traits, average daily gain, feed
efficiency, docility, coat color and horned/
polled. I found the wealth of information
that the couple has amassed as impressive.
Their cattle are quite impressive and I fell
in love with a cow and her calf that I would
have been willing to bring home to Pennsylvania. They are medium-framed cows
with correct feet and legs and nice udders.
I believe that if Doyle wanted to start milking again, he would be quite profitable.
This was my last stop on my trip and I
hated to leave, but I was flying out of Kansas City, Missouri, to go back home. On
my three days of visits, I traveled 888 miles,
visiting three states and six different breeders. As you can see, the range of what the
breeders' goals are for their herds are quite
different and all equally impressive. I can
appreciate what each breeder is striving for
on their farm and in what direction they are
taking their cattle. This is another incredible thing about our breed, it definitely has
a place for everyone whether it is commercial, Native or grazing.
I want to thank all of the farms that I visited for their hospitality and to the Crawleys and Hendricksons for inviting me to
stay at their homes. I am looking forward
to the next set of farm visits that I will be
able to do.

Corrections
The Winter Journal cover listed the
wrong Grand Champion cow for the Northeast National. Innisfail ST Emily 864 EXP,
owned by the Emily Syndicate of Cornish
Flat, New Hampshire, should have been
pictured instead of the Grand Champion of
the Junior Show.
The heifer show entry form mailing address should have been the town of Juda
not Jada and the phone number should
have been 608-558-6939 and email: [email protected]
Purebred Publishing apologizes for any

2nd Annual Milking Shorthorn National Online Sale 2015
After a very successful National Online Sale, the AMSS would like to thank
all of the consignors. Without you, this sale
would have not been possible. We would
also like to thank all of the buyers, without
you this sale would not have been such a
success.
With five live lots of very high quality
cattle and outstanding pedigrees consigned,
only one of those lots sold. That was Lot #5
Twillow Zues Lilly- ET consigned by Michelle Upchurch of California. There was
a lot of fast and furious bidding on this outstanding lot as the minutes wound down;
Carrie Ritchard of Wisconsin came out on
top with a winning bid of $3550.
We offered two embryo lots with the
high seller Lot #6, GMC Rebel Logic ET
X Mysha R-H Dimples EXP ET from Mapleton Valley Farms of Wisconsin. Carrie
Ritchard was once again on top with the
winning bid of $425ea.
There were twenty-two lots of semen
available from a wide variety of bulls; including native, milk and type bulls averaging $12 a unit. The high selling semen lot
was Lot #17S Rovin Ali RRob Alrite EXPP consigned by Brian Pederson of Minne-
sota. Eddie Hatfield of Mississippi, was the
winning bidder of this lot at $33 a unit.
In conclusion we believe this sale was
a huge success; we sold 86% of the lots
consigned! As the sale continues to grow
in popularity with over fifty registered bidders and buyers from eight different states
including Wisconsin, California, Illinois,
Mississippi, Texas, Pennsylvania, Indiana,
and North Carolina going to show that the
love for the Red, White and Roan is nationwide! We are already looking forward to
an exciting 2016 National Online Sale!

that can suit many breeders’ needs today,
whether it is the show ring, the milk tank,
crossbreeding, grazing, dual purpose, cowcalf or Native. To that end, with the blessing
of the AMSS Board, I have been ramping
up the promotion of our breed as many of
you may have noticed by the promotional
advertising being done in various dairy publications. A new brochure has been created
and several promotion items are in stock. I
know that this is being effective, with groups
contacting me to request promotional items
to be sent to them to use at dairy days and at
cattle sales. I was fortunate enough to have
Shirley Wagner and her family and Suzanne
Lois set up and man a booth at the Grazing Conference in Wisconsin back in January. Our presence there was well received.
These breeders and supporters were able to
promote without me having to be there. So
a special thanks to them. Recently, a young
lady from Massachusetts requested some
copies of our recent AMSS ads with promo-
24
tional materials so that she could display the
ads to help promote the breed. This is what
we need! I can’t be everywhere, but there

In Memorium
Edwin D. Stoll
Edwin D. Stoll, 75, of Chestnut, Illinois, passed away Friday, March 6, 2015,
at his home.
Edwin was born Feb. 6, 1940, in Lincoln to Richard and Reva Schmidt Stoll.
He married Lorene Tendick on June 17,
1962, in Mt. Pulaski. She survives. He is
also survived by his son, William (Julie)
Stoll of Mt. Pulaski; two daughters, Debra
(Tim) Smith of Houston, Texas, and Janet
(James) Sampson of Pleasant Plains; sister,
Barbara (Bill) Himley; nine grandchildren:
Chelsea, Meghan and Jacob Stoll, Brendon
and Ashley Gerdes, Ryon and Cody Smith,
Britney Cowan, and Pam (Damian) Larson;
and one great-grandson, Brayton Larson.
Ed was a lifelong farmer and was active
in the community serving on various boards
including the Illinois Milking Shorthorn Society, Logan County Farm Bureau, Agland
FS Board, Beason Grade School Board and
the Chestnut Men's Club. He was an active
member of Zion Lutheran Church in Chestnut where he served as trustee for several
years. Ed was an avid bowler and bowled
for over 50 years. He loved his family and
enjoyed them being around.
Services were held March 11, 2015.

Kenneth Harold (Kenny) Korn
Kenneth Harold (Kenny) Korn, feisty
brother, favorite uncle, and caretaker of
friends and animals passed away on March
7, 2015.
Born on April 18, 1953 in Nebraska,
Kenny was raised on his parents' farm in
Nampa, Illinois, and helped build it into
Korncrest Farms praised for its registered
dairy cattle herd, high quality milk, farm
fresh eggs and prize winning animals.
He graduated from Vallivue High School
where he was active in both 4-H and Future
Farmers of America. He received his Bachelor of Science degree in 3 ½ years from
the University of Idaho and returned home
to continue to work with his animals. His
favorite time of year was spring and summer where he could incubate various fowl,
grow poppies, and enjoy family get-togethers with swimming, fireworks and the latest
adult beverage. He broke his neck in 1982
during one of his mischievous adventures
but didn't let that stop him from returning
to his work to help his dad and brother with
the farm. As Pop's health began to fail,
Kenny took on the primary responsibility
to care for his parents and helped them enjoy their last years in the way they wanted.
This was a great task for anyone who knew
Mother! As the encroachment of the city
moved in, Kenny moved to New Plymouth
where he continued his egg business delivering to several valley markets. He also
raised Beulingo cows and sheep.
Kenny supported FFA and 4H throughout his life and helped kids by producing
and selling high quality animals for show,
including Korncrest Pacesetter. He gave his
time and expertise to choose the best and
guide the next generation in animal husbandry, quality and showmanship.
Though Kenny never married or had
children of his own, he was definitely the
favorite uncle in the family. He was the instigator of mostly legal "fun" in the family,
but was also the one that each kid or sibling
went to when they needed advice and guidance.
Kenny is survived by his brothers, Jerry, Richard (Kim), Les (Carolyn), his sister, Paula (Casey) McMullen and multiple
nieces and nephews. Kenny is preceded in
death by his parents, Paul and Lois, and his
nephew, Mike.
A funeral celebration of Kenny's life
was held on Friday, March 13th. In lieu of
flowers, the family suggests memorial donations to the Vallivue or New Plymouth
FFA. Also, Kenny would have asked you to
work hard, laugh often, avoid the norm and
toast one to him!

Junior Spotlight
by Nicholas Achen
John Achen is the 14-year-old son of Craig and
Cindy Achen of Aberdeen, South Dakota. He is an
eighth grader at Groton Area High School. He is
the third youngest in the Achen Family household.
John enjoys football and dairy judging. He has a
passion for both Milking Shorthorns and Holsteins. He also loves the dairy knowledge competitions held at National Conventions.
Achen’s responsibilities on the farm include
helping his mom care for the young stock. John
also likes to help his brother Jacob with miscellaneous jobs around the Warner Dairy Farm. His
favorite thing to do, though, is to help get cattle
ready for the show.
The Milking Shorthorn cattle originated from
his mother's 4-H project. John also has to give
credit to his older brother Jacob for allowing him
to have Mitzy as his 4-H project. By having a
Milking Shorthorn as a 4-H project, it sparked his
interest in this wonderful breed.
One of John’s favorite experiences with the
Milking Shorthorn breed was walking on the wood
shavings for the first time this past fall with Cherrywood Mitzy. The most memorable time for John
with his Milking Shorthorn Mitzy was winning
Reserve Junior Champion Milking Shorthorn of
the 4-H Show.
For John the Milking Shorthorn breed is special because of the breed's temperament, their great
milk quality, and their durability. They also mean
a lot to him because his mother showed them when
she was a kid and he wants to do the same.
Achen’s future plans are to be active in FFA.
He hopes to one day have his own farm that has a
show barn full of Registered Milking Shorthorns
and Registered Holsteins. John also plans to stay
involved in the dairy industry by attending national conventions and applying for scholarships.
Hey Juniors!
There will be a Jeopardy contest at National Convention. All answers
can be found in the Journal and the 2014 Virginia 4-H Jeopardy and
Quiz bowl. Prizes will be awarded! The day is yet to be determined and
will be announced at the Convention.

Quilting with a Passion
Jaylene Garbig of Greenville, Ohio,
wears many hats – she is a grandmother, a
longtime employee of her county’s board of
education, and a quilting enthusiast. Many
National Convention goers may remember
the two beautiful quilts that were sold in the
Fun Auction last year to benefit the 2016
National Convention in Ohio. Those quilts,
adorned with famous Milking Shorthorn
heifers and cows, were Jaylene’s handiwork. This year, at the National Convention
in Wisconsin, two more quilts of Jaylene’s
will be auctioned to again benefit the National Convention in Ohio next year.
Jaylene is the proud grandmother of
Hannah, Sarah, Sam and Carrie Rhoades of
Buckeye Knoll Farm, also of Greenville,
Ohio. She also has many “grandcows” that
she enjoys playing with. She likes being
near the farm so she can visit the calves –
but, “I let the kids handle the big ones!”
Jaylene has been quilting for 15
years now, when she took a quilting class.
While in the class, she made a quilt with a
barn. However, the quilts she donated last
year were her first cow-themed quilts. Her
daughter, Leslie Rhoades, helped
her with the idea of the cow quilt
to benefit the convention. She is
very appreciative with the tightknit Milking Shorthorn community. “Last year we had a lot of
problems going to the National
Convention,” she recalls. There
were several roadblocks, including flat trailer tires and more. “All
we had to do was make one phone
call, and we had help on the way.”
The community has been equally
helpful in the design of Jaylene’s quilts.
Jaylene herself does not come from a dairy
background. Leslie met Doug Rhoades in
high school, and they began dating after
college. They now operate Buckeye Knoll
with their children. Jaylene has consulted many breeders to decide which cows
should be on the 2015 quilt. She worked
with Junia Isiminger to come up with the final theme: Grand Champions, Junior Grand
Champions and Junior Champions of National Shows and National Junior Shows
in 2014. The quilt will include Innisfail ST
Emily 864 EXP (Northeast National), Innisfail RO Lady 906 EXP (Northeast National Junior & International Junior), Kuszmar Megadeth Poppy (Eastern National),
Buckeye Knoll Phenomenal EXP (Eastern
National Junior), Redien Acres JR (Winter
National) and Halpins IH (Winter National
Junior). The quilt will also feature GMC
DL Dairybar EXP (Northeast National),
Hard Core Premium Fire Maid EXP (East-
ern National and Winter National) and
Lazy M Pirelli Got It EXP (International), a
total of 10 animals on one quilt. This year’s
quilt will be of the same pattern and colors
as last year’s. Jaylene gets her cow patches
printed locally, and they are specially done
so they won’t fade in the wash.
Jaylene’s days of cow quilting aren’t
over with this convention. She is already
planning a famous Milking Shorthorn Bulls
quilt for 2016. To be sure she chooses the
correct list of top ten bulls that have been
influential in the breed. She is asking for
help from Milking Shorthorn breeders. If
you would like to help Jaylene, please send
your top 15 list of favorite, famous and/or
influential bulls of all time to the AMSS Bull Quilt, 23515 Range Road, Union City,
PA 16438 by September 1, 2015. The top
10 bulls nominated, from you the breeders,
will be included on the quilt. Watch for
Jaylene's creations at this year's National
Convention and more to come!
Be the last to bid at this year's auction
for this great piece of Shorthorn history!

National Convention Tour Highlights!
Jerry, Shirley & Brandon Wagner and
family
Wagner Family Farm
N5228 Cloverdale Rd.
Black River Falls, WI 54615
(715) 284-2606
[email protected]
The Wagner Family Farm is a Certified
Organic grazing herd that takes pride in its
out-of-the-ordinary practices. The Wagners
consider themselves “Minnesota transplants,” having bought the farm in Black
River Falls in 1987. A few Milking Shorthorn heifers were purchased at a state sale
in the interest of finding a better-grazing
breed. The Wagners began breeding all of
their Holsteins to Milking Shorthorn bulls
about 15 years ago, and now the milking
herd consists of around 85 Milking Shorthorns and crosses. They chose to grade
their Holsteins up into Milking Shorthorns
because they “wanted a good grazing animal…with better components.” The farm
is 211 acres, with an additional 185 acres
rented, about 109 used for grazing. All animals at all stages of life are grazed at the
Wagner farm.
The Wagners like to take a low-labor
approach to farming. All calves are raised
on surrogate dams, which are out on pasture in good weather. This means growthy
calves, and the surrogate dams teach the
calves good eating habits, which is only
exponential to their growth. “The health of
the calf is amazing [on a surrogate],” notes
Shirley. The Wagners very rarely use AI,
preferring to use good-pedigreed herd bulls
purchased from either state sales or notable
herds. They have used sons of Zeus, Red
Robin and Lothario from herds such as
RoVin Acres, Landsbrook, and Mapleton
Valley.
Wagner cows primarily graze, with
TMR and hay supplements as well as a very
small amount of grain. They eat at bunks,
again to minimize labor. The cows switch
pastures twice a day. The Wagners began
grazing because they felt the farm was ideal
for such a management style. They also enjoy the reduced labor and vastly increased
health of their animals. After experiences
with several breeds, the Wagners believe
that Milking Shorthorns are the ideal grazing breed.
Jerry and Shirley and their son Brandon
are the primary employees of the farm. Jerry does the milking, Brandon is in charge
of pasturing as well as feeding, and Shirley
feeds heifers and trains them to get used
to the lifestyle of rotational grazing. Brandon’s wife Mindy and their four children
also participate in relief milking and chores
around the farm. Jerry and Shirley’s daughters Holly and Amy live close and pitch in
when they can. Jerry and Shirley and Brandon and Mindy make sure that each other
gets every other weekend off. The Wagners
also compost, and Brandon has begun an
on-farm composting business. The Wagner’s unique style of farming and grazing
earned them a feature in Country Today, a
well-known farm paper. The Wagners enjoy showing at county fairs as well as the
Minnesota State Fair. Their expert ability
in raising calves earned one of their April
2014 calves, Nymans Kiner Sylver, a 2nd
place win at the Minnesota State Fair in
2014. This special calf was sired by a Lothario son from the RoVin herd and bears
the prefix of daughter Holly.
“We want to welcome everybody to
the farm to stroll through the garden, walk
through the pastures, and enjoy lunch with
us!”
The Ruzic Family
RoVin Acres
W14584 St. Rd. 121
Hixton, WI 54635
(715) 984-2211
Vince and Rozanne Ruzic established
RoVin Acres in 1974. Their Milking Shorthorn herd began with a single cow, ClaraBell, owned by Rozanne. ClaraBell’s easy
temperament lead Vince and Rozanne to
purchase more Milking Shorthorns from
the Woodward family to develop their own
herd. Since 2008, RoVin Acres has been
managed by Vince and Rozanne’s son Pat
with his wife Carol and their children. The
family maintains a milking herd of around
40 cows, all Milking Shorthorn with the exception of two Ayrshires. Carol Ruzic describes the family roles as entirely collaborative, with “everyone help[ing] out to get
all jobs done.” The Ruzics have achieved
several honors in their 40 years of Milking
Shorthorn dairying, including RoVin Lira
Allison-EXP-P EX-91, the top-producing
Polled cow in the country in 2013, as well
as Snowhite, the only cow in the breed with
10,000F lifetime. They are also proud of
RoVin Alise Clay Ali-P, who produced
over 100 embryos in her life. Another shining example of the Ruzic’s excellent herd
is RoVin Lacy MTitan Lucy-EXP, the junior champion of the 2013 Winter National
Show. Some of the Ruzic’s current favorite
sires include Disney, Liriano, Abner and
Alrite.
“We hope to see you at the 2015 National Convention, and we welcome you to our
farm for a tour and lunch.”
Let the AMSS help market your Bull!
The AMSS Board of Directors is in the process of creating a bull book to further our breed promotion. This book will feature
all collected bulls, in some form, available to maximize the genetic diversity and potential in your herd. We are currently searching for a list of privately collected sires available for marketing. All bulls must be registered with the AMSS (GE, GR, G1, G12,
EXP or Full Herdbook), have a proper NAAB code, be DNA tested, and have available semen. The Bull Book will have a variety
of different marketing opportunities for you to promote your genetics. A form was included in the renewal membership packet to
assist you in providing us with complete information. The form is also available on our website at www.milkingshorthorn.com.
The form should be sent to AMSS, 23515 Range Road, Union City, PA 16438 by April 15, 2015. Any questions regarding the bull
book or form, please contact Jason Heeter at [email protected], phone: 814-259-3864.
We look forward to partnering with you to promote the genetics within your herd and the Milking Shorthorn breed!
