She Wasn’t Even Entered!
Syrianna wasn’t even entered at the Missouri State Fair this year. She took the place of the 2-yr old that
was scratched at the last minute. So.... she was pulled from the milking herd, clipped and the next day
went to the State Fair where she won the 5-Yr old Class. The true beauty of this is she last calved June 10,
2010, went dry Sept. 25, 2011 and is due the first of December. She, her daughter Toecky Derek Shannon
and Toecky Anna-Neis Sanchez went on to be Res. All-Missouri Best Three Females.
Not bad for a cow that wasn’t even supposed to go!

Peterson Enjoys Show Success
It has been an incredible year for Missouri junior Holstein member Tucker
Peterson. He has polished his showmanship skills through the year and it
has really paid off. His first win of the
year occurred at the Southern Spring
National in Stillwater, OK in April by
winning first place in his age division.
Through the summer, Tucker showed
at many local and county fairs in
southern Missouri taking home several wins. In August, Tucker competed at the Missouri State
Fair and was champion Jersey showman going on to become the
overall dairy showmanship champion. This win sent Tucker to
the National FFA Dairy Showmanship contest in Indianapolis,
IN this fall where he won second place in the national contest.
His final win of the year came in November at the NAILE in Louisville, Kentucky where he won the Junior showmanship of the
Winter National Milking Shorthorn show.
Tucker is from Mtn. Grove, MO and is a freshman at Mtn.
Grove High School. He lives on the family dairy farm and shows
several different dairy breeds. He is pictured with his heifer,
Mi-Wil Minister Dolly at the Missouri State Fair after his win.
Tucker enjoys showing and fitting his cattle and can often be
found working with the Ram-Elle Holsteins and Jerseys string
at many shows. Tucker’s showmanship skills have caught the
attention of many exhibitors as he has been asked to lead other
exhibitors cattle at national shows.
Congratulations to Jenny and Clayton Iley
on their marriage September 10, 2011 at
the Circle T Ranch in Hamilton, Texas.
Jenny’s parents are Stanley and Brenda
Haedge of Hico, TX and Dick and Donna
Elliott of Ardmore, OK. Clayton is the son of
Laura Iley and Fred Iley of Stephenville, TX.
These high school sweethearts will reside in
Stephenville, Texas.
National Director Notes...
Well here is the letter you’ve all been waiting for. If you only
knew how many backspaces and spell checking corrections it
took to get this to print you would probably demand that we go
back to letters from Kate.
What a ride so far and it has only begun.
In August new directors Mike Jones (Indiana), newly elected
vice-president Glen Brown (Utah), and myself traveled to Brattleboro for a 2 day orientation at the home office. We spent time
in all the departments and were able to meet many of the people
we only know from a voice on the phone. A few highlights of the
trip included meeting some of the ladies who have worked with
Holstein for over 50 years and seeing their commitment to our
industry through good and bad times. This truly is a business
in this area that people aspire to work for. Not only do they want
to work for the Association but when they get a job they tend to
stick around. The average term of employment with HAUSA is
over 18 years. It was good to see a very efficient business and
know that our money is not wasted.
It has been a very busy fall. The show season has just wrapped
up and congratulations to all exhibitors on a great show season.
Something new this year has been the implementation of the
National Judges Conferences. These were very well attended
with over 130 participants. Feedback from attendees was excellent. I would encourage anyone who is interested in doing judging down the road to attend one of the conferences to get your
feet wet and rub arms with some of the best in the business.
This is also a prerequisite for those who want to be considered
for the National Judges List. This list-new last year- gives state
and national shows a place to go for qualified people to place
their cattle.
As we enter the cold winter season it also is time for our upcoming state and regional meetings. These are great opportunities to meet with fellow breeders and an even better way to get
involved in our great industry.
Another thing to keep in mind is now is a good time to do
some checking on applying for some of the awards Holstein offers to both the Junior and Senior members of HAUSA. Last year
Brad Groves of Billings, Mo. was the recipient of the prestigious
Distinguished Young Holstein Breeder. Obviously there is no
guarantee that if you apply that you will win. However with the
quality of dairymen in our area your chances of being recognized
are sure a lot better if you take time to apply for some of these
honors.
As the Christmas season fast approaches it is also a good time
to reflect on the past year. It has been a year of extremes from
region to region in just our area. We all must be thankful for
our health and families and remember to pray for those less
fortunate then ourselves. The one constant in this business is
the value of the registered Holstein cow and the opportunities
provided for us by our caring for these great animals. One last
thing we cannot forget as we get ready to reign in the New Year
is the return to dominance of the Kansas State Wildcat football
program. Of course our friends in the state of Oklahoma have
had a pretty good year also but the Cats are this year’s champion of the state of Texas
Merry Christmas,

Our Cow
of the Year
at 15 years
of age
Best-Sunrise Malachi Dawn 4E-91
9-05 365 2X 27,298 4.6 1296
Lifetime: 252,565M 11,782F
Sire: Robthom Malachite-ET
Dam: Best-Sunrise Blackstar Dahia-ET
Dawn - Bruce Kuehl
At 15 years of age, Dawn seems to keep going. In July 2011, she was
raised to EX-91 and made 4E. She has produced over 11,782 pounds of
fat and over 252,565 pounds of milk and keeps producing. Dawn has 10
records over 1,000 pounds of fatt. After 1,412 days in milk on the same
lactation, we flushed her in December 2010 to Regancrest Braxton and
she produced 3 embryos. On October 4, 2011, a Braxton heifer was
born!
Dawn has seen the show string starting her career as Junior Champion at the District Show. She has also been a Dry Cow class winner
and Res. All-Missouri. From this family we have produced Excellent and
Very Good animals and also consigned several to various sales.
Dawn is truly a Missouri cow. We purchased S-of-O Matt Peter Dark from the Missouri Spring Sale as a bred heifer. Dark has
proved to be a tremendous brood cow. A flush to To-Mar Blackstar produced 5 Blackstar daughters. They all went on to be either
Very Good or Excellent, one of which was Best-Sunrise Blackstar
Dahia-ET. Another full sister to Dahia was Best-Sunrise Blackstar
Dark 4E-92 who went on to produce over 268,000 pounds of milk.
Dawn’s history is backed to Missouri dairy farmers!
We are proud to nominate Dawn as our
2011 Cow of the Year!
PAGE 10 - MSHN, December 2011
At the Texas County Farm Expo this year, Dawn helped
around 240 4th grade children learn about dairy cattle.
They were able to touch and feel a real cow and heard
about how milk goes from the farm to the store.
Merry Christmas &
Happy New Year

KABA & Cache Valley Select Sires to Merge
The boards of directors and management teams of KABA/Select
Sires and Cache Valley Select Sires, Inc. are pleased to announce
that an agreement has been signed for the two cooperatives to
merge into one new cooperative. Select Sires MidAmerica, Inc.
has been formed and will begin conducting business on January
1, 2012. The new cooperative will provide its customer-owners
from 11 states across mid-America cost savings and enhanced
services from Select Sires MidAmerica’s personnel while offering
the same high-quality products that Select Sires is well-known
for. Select Sires MidAmerica will be headquartered in Logan, UT.
Randy Hill, current manager of Cache Valley Select Sires, will
serve as the cooperative’s manager, while Paul Kunkel, current
manager of KABA/Select Sires will resume the responsibilities
of assistant manager. All key personnel will continue with their
current responsibilities, and semen, supplies and products will
continue to be distributed from the Kentucky and Utah offices.
Select Sires MidAmerica will be governed by the two combined
boards of directors.
“KABA/Select Sires and Cache Valley Select Sires have confidence that working together through this merger will enhance
services while controlling overhead costs,” stated Randy Hill.
“The merger will provide improved programs, services and genetics to our customer-owners and offer broader opportunities
to our employees.”
“Select Sires MidAmerica will now be able to offer the best of
both cooperatives to all of our members,” noted Paul Kunkel.
“We are looking forward to the benefits that we will provide to
our customer-owners in the future.”
Examining their proud pasts, KABA and Cache Valley have
deep traditions with the Select Sires cooperative. Incorporated
in 1945, Kentucky Artificial Breeding Association (now known
as KABA) joined with COBA (Central Ohio Breeding Association), NIBCO (Northern Illinois Breeding Cooperative) and SIBA
(Southern Illinois Breeding Association) to form Select Sires Inc.
in 1965. Cache Valley was founded in 1948 and joined the Select Sires cooperative in August of 1969.
