It is always nice to see our young people recognized for their hard work and dedication. I also enjoyed visiting with adults about the benefits of youth being involved on the state and local level. I hope you will enjoy their reflections as well. As we close 2010, I wish to thank everyone who has supported the News throughout the year. I am 0,&+$(/0F&$))5(< grateful to all the advertisers, those who contribute columns and club news, and all those who have helped make 2010 a good year for our magazine. We are one of the few states that still publishes monthly and it is only through the support of the breeders, AI companies, and commercial advertisers, that this is possible. Thank you for your belief in our publication and our mission. I would also enjoy visiting with local clubs interested in a special section in 2011. As we look ahead to the New Year, it is my wish that words like hope, peace, gratitude, and love are first and foremost in each of our hearts. Amidst life’s challenges – and we all have them and face them – these values help us all to focus on what really matters in life. May your holidays be blessed moments with those you love. “Gratitude … can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.” (Melody Beattie). 7KH&DOO Notice is hereby given that the 91st Annual Meeting of the members of the New York Holstein Association, Inc. will be held at the Radisson, Utica, NY, on Thursday, January 13, 2011 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. and Friday, January 14, 2011, from 1:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. for the following purposes: &RZ+HDYHQ $OO%UHHGV&RQYHQWLRQ 1.

Another year flies by with its ups and downs. Although this year has been challenging in many ways, the support, enthusiasm, and confidence in our Association by our members takes us to the New Year with optimism and hope. We work very hard to fulfill our mission statement to serve the junior and senior members for their social and economic benefit. We can plan, budget and do back flips, but without the support and participation of our membership we go nowhere. Thanks to everyone who pitched in and made 2010 a fulfilling one for New York Holstein Association. It’s been a very busy year with one event leading into the next. That’s how I like it. Looking back, there were many highlights all year long. Convention was a great, well-attended winter break. Carousel 2010 was thrilling and people everywhere tell me they can’t wait for April. The picnic at Lantland was an unforgettable Holstein day full of great food, cattle, and friends. All summer long, the shows were super and led right up to the national shows where New York cattle made a terrific showing. It was pretty thrilling to have three New York Junior Holstein members – Trevor Holdridge with the Holstein, Cy Conard with his Red and White, and Kennedy Crothers with her Jersey – all named Grand Champion of their respective junior shows at the All-American in Harrisburg. And the momentum carried right through the Royal with Cooper Galton’s spring calf topping them all at the Royal. Wow. Our bus trip to Maine was more fun and more interesting than you can imagine until you go on one. The Harvest Sale set a new all-time high with Tiger Lily’s lovely red calf at $36,500. So here it is December again and we look forward to 2011 and its adventures. You won’t want to miss convention just a few weeks away. We’ll tend to the necessary business, but the time spent with Holstein friends you might not often see is the best part. Our ET Sale is shaping up great as you can see by the ad elsewhere in this issue. We’ll offer a range of consignments from high genomics, top show prospects, red and polled, famous cow families, and lots more. With just 25% down, it’s a terrific way to tap into superior genetics with choices to pick from. The track record of the ET sale speaks for itself in that we have consignments this year that go back to purchases from previous ET sales. If you need a catalog or bid carried, just call. The Silent Auction during the senior convention is the bread and butter fund raiser for the scholarship committee. This year we are awarding $1000 scholarships to six very deserving juniors. Your support of the Silent 1<1'HFHPEHU Auction is very much appreciated whether it’s a purchase or a donated item. It wouldn’t be my December article if I didn’t promote convention as a Christmas gift. A banquet ticket(s) or overnight stay(s) are terrific gifts that you know will be used and appreciated. And there’s always the junior merchandise. A News subscription and prepaid advertising also make great gifts. I say it every year: I think any club that subsidizes their juniors’ trip to convention is making a smart investment in their youth, club and future. We work hard to keep the next generations in our industry. Junior convention rocks from the minute they step in the door. Speech, Dairy Bowl, Jeopardy, DJMs, Production Awards, Scrapbooks, Posters, Folding Displays, and the pool that just churns with all the swimmers. Just ask last year’s biggest kid, Kevin Peck. They learn, they participate, and they have a blast with their Holstein friends. I think that’s a small piece but a huge way we can keep them interested and in our circle in the years to come. This issue is our heartwarming issue because it’s dedicated to our most valuable resource, our youth. I just talked about convention, but our juniors are our shining stars all year long. Their accomplishments and enthusiasm are amazing. Wherever I go, whatever hotel we hold an event in, I get compliments about our wholesome, polite, fun-to-be-around kids. It doesn’t get much better than that. Parents, advisors, leaders, and all involved in guiding our kids to lead happy, healthy, productive lives now and in the future deserve a huge pat on the back and thanks. We’ll close the door on convention and open the door to Carousel. Many plans are already underway and I’ll be on the road making sale selections starting in late January. We plan to trim numbers somewhat this year and keep the standards top notch. Our Carousel Sale has earned high respect and recognition for the high quality of consignments and success of purchases. See me at convention or give me a call if you’re interested in consigning. I’ve had lots of calls about Carousel dates and judges. April 8-11. Same schedule as last year except no PDCA judging conference. Judges are Brian Carscadden doing Open Holsteins and Milking Shorthorns, Chris Lammers doing our New York Junior Holstein Show, Red and Whites, and Ayrshires, and Robert Jerrell doing Jerseys, Swiss and Guernseys. Packets should be in the mail about Valentine’s Day and online as well. Call with any questions. As many of you know, Jen, our office manager is on maternity leave. As I write this, we’re waiting for the arrival of the new little Miss Ginzery. We’ll keep you posted. New York Holstein closes the year healthy and strong. The hard work, leadership and support of all the membership along with our dedicated staff made that happen. Jen and Stacie in the office, Mike at the News, our board, committee chairs, and all volunteers too many to name in this one thousand word article keep our Association strong and viable. My deepest thanks and appreciation to all of you. Have a wonderful holiday season. Take care and keep in touch. A Prelude to a bright and promising future Gar-Ri Alex Prelude Our farm manager, Jordan Cook, has a good eye for good cattle, so when he spotted Prelude at the Chautauqua-Cattaraugus Holstein Club Sale this past spring, we knew she probably had some good potential. And Prelude didn’t prove us wrong. She stood top of her large and competitive intermediate heifer calf class at the Chautauqua County Holstein Show and she placed second at the Chautauqua County Open Dairy Show. She is now maturing and will be bred soon and she should be in prime show condition come spring again. This Alexander daughter is out of a VG Mr. Derry Promotion dam and her second dam is a VG Astronomical . Third dam is Speedside Jed Pia-ET, EX-94. She was bred by Kibler Dairy Farms, Warren, Ohio. Jordan is now the sole owner of this special heifer and he no doubt will have great fun with her both in the show ring and in the calving pen. Good work Jordan, and congratulations on your recent election to the Board of Directors of the Chautauqua County Holstein Club!

NYN December 2010 - 11 Hello all, and welcome to winter! Even though it is getting cold outside, I love this time of year and I am sure many of you do as well because the Christmas season is upon us and a New Year is right around the corner. With this, convention is truly almost here and I want to expand upon my November article with a few .$7,('211$1 more details for you. Hopefully all of you (and your parents) have your registration forms in as they were due on December 4th, however if you do not please send them in as soon as possible to Mollie Pulver (91 Church Street Little Falls, NY 13365). Please make your reservations with the Utica Radisson Hotel by January 3rd – NOTE, this is a change from previous years! If you have any logistical questions regarding convention, feel free to contact anyone on the executive committee. I would also like to expand on the contests occurring at convention. First off, congratulations to all of you that completed a Distinguished Junior Member book! I know it was a long, tedious process but you all should be proud that you completed it. For those of you with DJM interviews coming up, feel free to contact Abbey Andrew, Kenny Quick, Nathan Holdridge, Katie Hanehan, or me if you have any questions. We would be more than willing to help prepare you and hopefully calm your nerves if you are a little unsure of what to expect – we have been put in this interview situation before and definitely have some helpful hints to share! As a committee, we are also excited for the other contests that will be occurring at convention. We encourage you to write your speeches early so that you will have plenty of time to edit them and practice before hand, and if you are doing an extemporaneous speech practice, pick a topic out of a hat and take a shot at it! Dairy Jeopardy and Dairy Bowl are destined to be great contests, and Steven and Amy Quanz are hard at work preparing for two fun competitions. Below are some tips that Amy has sent me, and if you have any further questions feel free to contact her. I believe this is all of the convention details I have for now, but if you have any questions PLEASE contact us! We are more than willing to help answer questions, and feel as though answering questions before hand will alleviate a lot of confusion and stress during convention. Of course this is very important so that all of us can have a great time together in Utica! The entire executive committee has met regarding convention, so we are all here as a resource. With this, I hope you all have a great month and that you are enjoying the holiday season. The executive committee and I wish you a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year! 3URGXFWLRQ/HDGHUV 'DLU\%RZO+LQWV 6LUHTXHVWLRQVVSHFL¿FVLUHUDQNLQJV HWFZLOOEHWDNHQIURPWKH'HFHPEHU 6LUH6XPPDU\ 4XHVWLRQVZLOOFRPHIURP+RDUG¶V 'DLU\PDQ 4XHVWLRQVZLOOFRPHIURP+ROVWHLQ )RXQGDWLRQSDFNHWV $Q\4XHVWLRQV" &RQWDFW$P\DWDP\TXDQ]#DFSKVHGX MS TIGER-LILY TRONE 3807-ET (EX-90) 5-09 2x 305 45,320 4.8 2178 3.0 1368 5-09 2x 365 52,010 4.7 2444 3.1 1604 S: Timlynn Throne-ET 1st NY Fat Mature 2x 305 days 1st NY Fat Mature 2x 365 days John P.

President Deb Quackenbush reported that the club’s long-time members will be the guests of the club that evening and honored with their state certificates and gifts. Chairmen of the various activities will also be giving their reports to the membership. The evening will be highlighted by a special presentation to honor one of the club’s outstanding members. The fall season is always a busy time for our members not only gathering the last of the harvest on their farms but also many members also participate in the fall show season. Several junior and srenior members traveled to Harrisburg and participated in the Eastern National Holstein Show and a few others traveled on to Madison to show at the World Dairy Expo. Congratulations to all those that participated as the competition is really stiff. Brad Ainslie, chairmen of the annual club sale, reported that 105 live lots of animals sold on Saturday, October 16th. The over-all average was $1,525 with 32 milking animals; 43 bred heifers; 29 open yearlings and young calves and one young service sire crossing through the sale ring. There was also one lot of embryos sold. The sale was hosted by the Pullis family at their Roedale Farm. The weather didn’t cooperate for the final cattle preparations on Friday as a Nor’easter storm passed through the area with high winds and over an inch of heavy rain. Needless to say, the volunteers and crew were all soaked by day’s end. Despite the nasty weather, which did let up for the Friday evening Open House events, there was a good crowd on hand. Sue Mower solicited donations and planned this year’s open house to include hot pork sandwiches and salads, etc. Doug Wolfe chaired the Annual Semen Sale also held during the Open House on Friday evening. Bidding for the most part was brisk with the Braedale Goldwyn semen topping that sale at $450/unit. Club member, Wayne Conard served as auctioneer with assistance from Tom & Brenda Hosking’s young son. Announcements were read by Jason Pullis. A complete sale report will be given at the annual meeting. During the month of November club members in the Montgomery County area had their regular classification program. Classifiers working the area have found many nice young 2 year olds to score Very Good including 2 red & white Holsteins at Stoncree Farm for the Sammons family; 2 homebred young cows carrying the Hu-Hill prefix for Rob & Shirley Hudyncia; Stowell-L Buckeye Daisy scored in at VG-87 for owner/breeders Paul Larkin and Gary Stowell; Jim Hudson had a Duece daughter [son of September Storm] score VG-85; Jr. member Cy Conard had three of his project animals scored in at VG while Ridgedale Eleanor-Red scored in at VG-87 for the Ridgedale herd; and the highest scoring 2 yr. old reported by the middle of November was a Pronto daughter, Gaige Pronto Tiny-ET, owned jointly by Ridgedale & Gerald Cacciola scored VG-88 @ 2-06. The classifiers also raised nine cows to the Excellent scores with one scoring Ex-91 and all the others scoring in at 90 points. Ridgedale had 4 new Excellent cows, including one owned by Cy. John & Bruce Osborne had a home-bred 4 year old Rubens daughter score 90 points and Jodi Edsall also had a homebred Champion daughter score in at 91 points. Jr. member, Clyde Sammons had a really good day as two of his project cows were raised to Excellent including Stoncree Astronimcl Ava, a 4 year old, and Stoncree Champ Charity, a 3 year old. Congratulations to all. As the year 2010 draws to a close we wish you all a wonderful holiday season with family and friends. And we will be looking forward to seeing you all at the NYS All-Breeds convention in Utica in January. Remember many O-HM members are just a short drive away from convention.

We never dreamed, when Trevor purchased Lea in the spring of 2007, that she would bring so much joy to our lives. She has truly given us an experience that we could only have dreamed of and formed wonderful memories that will last a lifetime. We had never had the opportunity to show at Harrisburg or Madison before, so this was a very exciting and memorable experience. What a joy it was working side by side with Lenny & Owen Pieper at Harrisburg. We look forward to more fun times with the Pieper family. Madison was a whole new experience and we thank Tim Coon & his crew for their kindness and expertise. A special thanks to our family that made the trip to support us. We all really enjoyed looking at the great cows and exhibits. Thanks also to Steve Vail for all his support throughout the year. The kids have had a great 2010 with school and dairy activities. They bring us so much joy as we watch them excel in their many interests. Rick & Terri Holdridge Nathan, Nikki, and Trevor P.O.

Bice, 75, of West Edmeston, died November 14, 2010, at Otsego Manor in Cooperstown. He was born November 14, 1935, in Brookfield, the son of Melvin A. and Mabel E. (Greenman) Bice. He married Alzada Hunt on June 30, 1956. Ronald was a lifetime member of the Dairy Farmers of America, the New York Holstein Association, and the Eastern Breeders Cooperative. One of Ronald’s outstanding accomplishments was his registered Holstein, Hollow Meadows Ormsby Classic, a bull he sold to Eastern. His glory was working with his farm animals and the land. He received many awards over his 50 years as a dairy farmer, raising registered Holsteins and Brown Swiss and farming with his daughter and later, his grandsons. Ronald is survived by his loving wife, Alzada Bice; his loving daughter Diane (Brian) Long; his loving grandchildren, Michael Craig (Andrea) Long, and Matthew Craig Long; his siblings, June Morey, Nancy (Richard) Button, Roger (Thelma) Bice, and Raymond (Judy) Bice; and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents, brother-in-law, George Morey; and nephew, David Bice. Graveside services were held November 18, 2010.

Austin & Jay Backus, Butterfly Farms, Mexico, became the first cow to produce over 1300 fat on 3x milking. Her record of 7-03 3x 365 32,888 4.03% 1327 made her the new National Champion, displacing her sister, Knollwood Rag Apple Nettie with her record of 1273 fat for breeder-owner John Mayne, Fairport. Gay’s accomplishments did not stop with her great record, however. She was also declared the first cow of any breed to make over 100,000M in four consecutive lactations and she continued to reign as the New York State Milk Champion for 2-year-olds with her record of 21,365 3.5 751. In addition, she became the fourth daughter of Montvic Chieftain 7th to become a National Fat Champion and she was a half-sister to the breed’s highest testing cow with 5.76%f. When asked about this incredible cow and her accomplishments, Butterfly manager Bob Hogarth stated that “there was no secret and no tricks. Just a case of a great cow, given good feed and care, and making a sensational record.” A few interesting notes about Gay, her record, and her care include that she peaked at 114.8 lbs. and milked over 100 lbs. a day on 100 different days during her lactation. Housed in a comfortable, well-bedded box stall, she was led out for a half hour or so of fresh air and exercise and a bite of green grass each evening by herdsman Bill McReynolds. She was bred only once, fresh about eight months, and conceived at first service. Gay came to Butterfly Farms as “a rather rough, plain looking youngster” through the Knollwood Farms Semi-Dispersal for $480. “It was a family joke at Butterfly that Jay was the only one who had any 16 - NYN December 2010 confidence in her in those early days.” She sold for $2200 in the Butterfly Sale in 1947 to J. Alan Fusca, Reedhill Farm, Arcade, but returned to Butterfly when the Backus family purchased the entire Reedhill herd. 1983 (Volume 38) Millervale Ultimate Rosalynn won “The Triple Crown” by being named Grand Champion at all three National Shows in 1983. Sired by Quality Ultimate and shown under the Dreamstreet banner, Rosalynn was the winning 4-year-old and Grand Champion at the Eastern National, the Central National, and the Western National Shows. In Madison, WI, Rosalynn was also named the Supreme Champion of all breeds. Her closest competitor at the Central National was herdmate Campbell-Hollow Ultimate Kate, the 2nd place 4-year-old who went on to be named Reserve Grand Champion. Dreamstreet won the Premier Exhibitor banner at the Eastern and Western Nationals under the direction of Buddy Fleming and crew. Another Dreamstreet entry also won her class at all three National Shows, she being HowardHome Valiant Eva, the winning senior 2-year-old sired by S-W-D Valiant. Janice A. Richardson joined the News staff as assistant editor. Richardson, the daughter of Phil & Arlene Richardson of Ja-Rich Holsteins, Akron, was a Cornell University graduate and past New York Distinguished Junior Member. She was most recently assistant sales manager for GJS Coyne, Inc. in Geneseo. The Walker Family of Walker Farms, Falconer, was featured on the cover of the News and highlighted in the issue featuring an extensive Chautauqua County Special Section. Frank & Mary Walker, New York Master Breeders in 1983, in partnership with sons Mike and Bruce, were active members of Chautauqua County Breeders, a syndicate of breeders whose “stars” included Cochran Ivanhoe Fury, an Ideal Fury Reflector son of Cochran Ivanhoe Shirley (EX-94-GMD), wellknown matriarch at Poverty Hollow Farm, CT. 1992 (Volume 47) The December issue of the News marked the last to be published by Holstein World, Inc. In its 46 years to date, the magazine had changed editors 11 times (Ted Prescott, Robert Hastings, Alfred Drowne, Jim Hill, Donna Cooper, Kathy Jones, Janice Richardson, Michael McCaffrey, Gayle Benedict, and Jan Guell). Beginning in 1993, the News would be owned and published by the New York Holstein Association. The Genetic Advantage Sale averaged $4451 on 79 head at the fairgrounds in Syracuse. High seller of the day at $26,000 was Ms Landvue Star Eric-389-ET (VG86, EX-MS), a To-Mar Blackstar-ET daughter with a PTPI of +1197 and out of a VG Rotate dam. Purchased by Dan Will, Berlin, PA, she was consigned by Dennis Yousey, Cazenovia. Rodney Paulo, Hanford, CA, went to $12,400 to own Derrwyn Leader Sassy-Red-ET, an early daughter of Kinglea Leader from a VG Enhancer dam with 1237f. She was the consignment of Stonehurst Farm, Inc. and John & Vicki King. Eighty-one New York cows were declared Gold Medal Dams in 1992 and 322 qualified as Dam of Merit. The News compiled a list of seven “Premier Gold Medal Dams” who had at least five daughters qualified for type and production. Included in that elite group were: ClearEcho Elevation Beauty (VG-85), Darling-Farm Bell Ginny (VG-86), Ellbank Standout Chief Kery (2E92), Geordave Valiant Paula (VG88), Kemview Valeta-ET (VG-87), Langdonhurst Valiant Nicki (EX-95), and Valmont Valiant Jane (2E-92).

Ask any parent how many activities their children are involved in and how many demands they have upon their time and their energy, and it becomes clear that our young people have an incredible number of activities in which to participate. Be it sports, music, drama, clubs, church youth group, or scouting, today’s youth often have to master a balancing act between family life, school work, and activities. Involvement in New York Junior Holstein Association is yet another activity in which we hope our young people participate. They are the future of the New York Holstein Association and many of today’s senior leaders were active juniors as well. Ask many of the leaders in today’s State Association about their time in the Junior Holstein Association and see the smiles and hear the happy memories. But life was also simpler in days gone by, and today’s gamut of extracurricular activities is much more vast. Kids today simply have more opportunities. So why belong to New York Junior Holstein Association? Why being an involved Junior? What are the benefits, the perks, the possibilities? Especially for our younger members who may just be getting started with the local Junior Holstein club, what do they stand to gain by participating in Junior activities? What follows are the thoughts and perspectives of four adult leaders within Junior Holstein activities. Each of them was generous in their praise of the New York Junior Holstein Association and its benefits, yet each shared a unique set of reflections and thoughts about what kids gleen by being Junior members. Each of the four adults has kids who have been or are currently involved, but they also work with other kids who may or may not be from registered Holstein farms, or might not have any farm background at all. Regardless of their 1<1'HFHPEHU experience and the amount of time they have been involved, the bottom line with each of our four adult leaders was basically the same – dive in, get involved, and have fun! $P\$QGUHZV%UDXQ±7UL&RXQW\ With 12 years of active involvement and four years of “official” leadership with the Tri-County Junior Holstein Club, Amy Braun has seen many great things happen within her own three children and the others with whom she has worked. Daughter Carolyn is now a junior at Cornell University and sons Justin and Peter are in their first year at SUNY Cobleskill. All were active junior members in the Tri-County Club during their formative years and Carolyn is now involved with the New York Junior Holstein Executive Committee. Carolyn, Justin, and Peter are all active with their college dairy clubs as well. “My kids have benefited 10-fold from Tri-County and New York Junior Holstein Association,” Amy says enthusiastically. “The big thing that I see is that kids learn and their knowledge base increases. Beyond that, their confidence level also increases.” Braun is quick to point out the speech contest held each year at the Junior Convention as one way that kids are challenged to grow. “How many kids have the opportunity to stand in front of 300 people and give a speech?” Certainly the speech competition is an incredible learning experience and being able to speak in front of others is a life skill that everyone will use at some point in their life. “The speech contest also helps kids gain composure. They will have to be able to communicate for the rest of their life.” The ability to work on and receive feedback on their communication skills are added bonuses to this, with the kids involved with the speech competition having to be clear in their thoughts and they need to be able to express their ideas verbally. Another added bonus of Junior Holstein involvement is the ability to work as part of a team. “Whether it is dairy bowl, the Executive Committee, or working on the local calf sale, the kids learn to work together and form a team.” That commonality of purpose and working toward a goal is certainly something that will be used throughout adulthood. Forming good, lifelong friendships is another aspect of Junior Holstein involvement that Amy has seen in her own life as well as in her children’s. “They have a nucleus of friends. They are a wholesome bunch of kids in the Junior Holstein Association.” Braun adds that her kids have met others from all over the state, young people that they would never have met and become friends with were it not for their participation in New York Junior Holstein Association. Another added bonus for adults is the friendships they form with other parents and adult leaders. Amy shared that getting together with other adults at the Junior Holstein Convention is a great time. Adults share ideas and just have time to visit with one another as real friends. 7HUUL+ROGULGJH±'HODZDUH&RXQW\ Having been involved herself from the age of eight, Terri Holdridge knows first hand how rewarding being a New York Junior Holstein member can be. She and her husband Rick own and operate Humdinger Holsteins in Bloomville with their three children – Nathan, Nikki, and Trevor. Each of the three younger Holdridges has been involved with the Delaware County Junior Club, with Nathan having been a New York State DJM and Nikki serving on the Executive Committee as well. Terri has been a Junior Advisor for eight years and has seen first-hand how her own kids and those she works with benefit from Junior Holstein involvement. The Delaware County Junior Holstein Club is one of the state’s largest and strongest. But they are also diverse. “You have a whole different group of kids who are friends,” she says, noting that her children have friends from all over New York State, well beyond their relatively small school environment. “These kids share things in common. Their day-to-day life is the same as these other farm kids from around the state. And they are forming life-long friendships.” She emphasizes how beneficial it is for kids to be with others like themselves. Holdridge is a great proponent of the DJM program and the DJM books the youth have to submit. “It is a lot of work,” she notes, but adds that when it comes time to apply for college, “everything is right there.” Good record keeping, summarizing activities and accomplishments are all components of the DJM book, but it is a great help when it comes time to apply for scholarships and prepare for the interview process.” Involvement on the Junior level is another way for youth to gain confidence in themselves and their abilities, Terri believes. “Junior Holstein Club is a way for kids to excel in a whole different way from sports or academics. They gain confidence in themselves and that confidence might not come from the same activity – it could be from showing or an office held or dairy bowl.” All of the Holdridges have been involved in the show ring and done well in showmanship competition, in addition to Dairy Bowl, from a very young age. With two of their children involved on the Junior Association Executive Committee, Rick and Terri have seen how much these positions have done for them. “Executive Committee teaches leadership, and working with Patsy (New York Executive Manager Patsy Gifford) teaches responsibility.” The Junior Executive Committee operates by 10 standing committees as well as a president, recording secretary, financial secretary, and two Distinguished Junior Members. These positions are selected each year at the Junior Convention. For Holdridges, the pluses of being an active Junior Holstein member are many. “You hate to have your kids miss this,” says Terri, recognizing that youth today are so busy and have so many possibilities for activities. “But this is a great group of kids – they are well-mannered and well-behaved.” In addition, the skills gained through involvement with the Junior Holstein Association will serve the young people throughout their lives. “Whether they choose farming or not, they learn a lot. They learn things that will definitely help shape their future.” &DWK\*DOOH\±&KHQDQJR&RXQW\ With no agriculture classes in their local schools, Cathy Galley is a strong believer in youth being active in the Junior Holstein Association. Cathy and Dave Galley operate Silver Spoon Dairy in Garrattsville along with their family. Daughter Sonya is a past New York State DJM and is now home managing the Silver Spoon herd. Son Sean has been involved with the Junior Executive Committee and was a member of the winning Senior Dairy Bowl team in 2010. Because there is no FFA or ag. curriculum in many schools today, Cathy sees a real value in the DJM books and all the work that goes into them. “With no agriculture program in the schools, there is no emphasis on records. The DJM program helps youth to get an in-depth perspective, a business perspective on farming.” Involvement with Junior Holstein club and participating in regular meetings also helps young people learn parliamentary procedure and how to run an efficient meeting. Travel and the opportunity to do so have been an added bonus for the Galleys. Both Sonya and Sean have traveled to National Conventions. Cathy also sees that the travel can help Juniors gain an appreciation for good quality animals. “They even learn to appreciate their own animals and what they have at home,” she states. “The Junior Holstein Association is a great deal for kids!” she says. In addition to the terrific opportunities it can bring, Cathy has seen how participation in Junior activities has helped her own children clarify their career goals and determine what it is that they want to 1<1'HFHPEHU do in the future. “And the net working you establish is phenomenal!” again, through meeting people from all over the state and even the world. When asked about Dairy Bowl in particular, Cathy is quick to point out that the gain in factual knowledge is very important, but the teamwork that she has observed among her Juniors is just as inspiring. Referring to her senior team, Cathy points out that the kids learn each other’s strengths and learn to encourage each other and build each other up. She has seen first-hand how the youth capitalize on each team member’s individual strengths for the benefit of the whole team. In addition, the team learns to work together and they gain a mutual respect for one another, another life-changing skill that will no doubt serve each of them in the future. Cathy has also seen how non-farm youth benefit from involvement with Junior Holstein activities. In speaking about showing at fairs, she notes that non-farm kids get exposed to various kinds of agriculture and learn hands-on. “Regardless of if they farm or not, they will be consumers all their lives and they learn how food gets to their table.” This is certainly significant today as more and more of society is removed from agriculture. So what would she say to parents of younger kids thinking about being active in the Junior Holstein Association? “Jump in with both feet! Get involved as much as you can! And have fun!! There is a niche for everyone.” &KDUOHQH5\DQ±&RUWODQG&RXQW\ After five years of active involvement with Cortland County Holstein Juniors, it is clear how much Charlene Ryan loves what she does and believes in the opportunities it presents to today’s youth. She and her husband Steve have two children with daughter Brooke (15) being a very involved Junior member. “The kids learn more about the dairy industry and that there are different ways of doing things.” Seeing different kinds of dairy operations exposes Juniors to different housing, different management, and different breeding programs. A big part of what the Cortland County Junior Holstein Club does is education, and this past year, they invited Kathy Finnerty, Extension Associate from the Animal Health and Disease Laboratory, to talk with the Juniors about how to answer questions from the public at fairs and other places. Charlene also sees that youth who have been involved with Junior Holstein Club are better prepared for college in that they have a sound knowledge of dairy farming today. This year, the Cortland County Junior Holstein Club will be represented by 15 members plus their adult advisors. “They meet kids from around the state and they make friends from all over, not just their own town. Convention is also a good place for kids to be with others who share the same interests and qualities they do.” Each of the Cortland County Juniors must participate in at least one Junior Convention activity, be it speech, Dairy Bowl, Dairy Jeopardy, or a leadership 1<1'HFHPEHU position. The Cortland County Juniors also work very hard to raise money to help defray the cost of going to convention. “We have various fund raisers throughout the year. We have had spaghetti dinners, pancake breakfasts, and in November, we were invited by Janice Sears to run the food booth at her herd dispersal.” This kind of hard work certainly helps the Juniors to appreciate convention and being able to participate even more. They learn the value of working toward a goal. And the parents are also actively involved! Asked about how she sees the youth growing as persons through their Holstein Club involvement, Charlene notes that the confidence gained through speech contest is particularly apparent. “The kids have an ease at getting up in front of people and speaking.” This again will undoubtedly serve them in good stead for the rest of their lives. In addition, she knows how highly competitive colleges are getting and how aware schools are of youth involved with Junior Holstein Association on the state and local level. “Colleges are looking at kids and how well they have done.” She also sees that skills gained through Junior membership will benefit young people well beyond their high school years. She knows that kids have to make choices – sports, music, extracurricular activities – but is a firm believer that adults need to emphasize activities that will benefit young people the most in the future. She has seen it firsthand in Cortland County Junior Holstein members and encourages the parents of younger kids to get involved with their kids, encourage them, and watch all the great things that begin to unfold. 3RVW6FULSW Thank you to each of the four ladies who shared their perspectives and ideas. While each brought a little bit different spin to the conversation, there was definitely a common theme among them – Yes, kids are busy today and have so many opportunities, but Junior Holstein Association is one for life! Repeatedly they used the same vocabulary – enjoyment, learning, responsibility, teamwork, growth, leadership, friendship, and values – to name just a few. It’s our hope, through their words and guidance, that younger kids and their parents will see just how much can be gained through active participation in the New York Junior Holstein Association and the local Junior Holstein Clubs. Because underlying it all – it’s about the kids … and the kids having fun!

Among those presented to the crowd were offspring of many of the breed’s most elite females, and the crowd gathered for the sale eagerly took the opportunity to acquire these top genetics. The sale, managed by Jeff Butler & Ed Fellers, saw cattle widely distributed throughout the United States, but New York breeders kept nearly half the offerings for themselves. Following welcomes by sale host Brian Coyne and sale management, Richmond-FD Pompey-ET made her way to the ring for consignors Richmond Farms Dairy, North Collins, NY. The number two GTPI daughter of her sire, Massey, this heifer sold with two bull contracts and further interest in bulls and embryos. Her dam is an EX, EX-MS Ramos with records to 1489f, then next dam was a Pippin with 1406f. Spirited bidding ended with Jeff Butler, Springfield, IL, placing the final bid at $20,000. High seller on the day came in lot number two, Foxberry Stream Myra 619-ET (VG-86, 2y) with GTPI +2185, a fancy, good-uddered young Jet Stream daughter with numerous contracts to date and plentiful interest for the future. Her dam was a 2E-92 GMDDOM Outside daughter with 1887f, the next dam by Rudolph was 3E-94-DOM with two records over 1500f. Not surprisingly, the Jet Stream sported a +5.9PL and commanded the $65,000 bid of sale hosts, Coyne Farms. Jeff Butler & Morsan Farms, consigned the day’s second-high seller at $63,000, first choice Gold Chip female out of Ms Atlees Shottle Aubry-ET (VG-88, EX-MS), well-known Shottle daughter of MD-Delight Durham Atlee-ET (EX-92-DOM) with +1811 GTPI. The choice was taken by The Power Group, Overland Park, KS. Close behind at $62,000 was first choice Snowman daughter of Regancrest S Chassity-ET (EX-92-DOM), the headliner of a $1.5 million package that topped the 2009 International Intrigue Sale. Chassity, the dam of the popular Gold Chip bull, is out of Regancrest Cinderella FOXBERRY STREAM MYRA 619-ET $65,000 Top seller of the Legends of the Fall Sale pictured with sale staff and members of the Coyne Family, sale hosts and buyers. 30 - NYN December 2010 WELCOME Brian Coyne welcomes the crowd to the Legends of the Fall Sale with Sale Managers Jeff Butler and Ed Fellers looking on. (EX-92 GMD-DOM), followed by Regancrest PR Barbie (EX-92 GMD-DOM) who is writing her own chapter in the annals of Holstein history. This choice was taken by In Touch Genomics, Overland Park, KS. Still fresh in many people’s minds was Harvue Roy Frosty’s second Supreme Championship win at the International Holstein Show a couple weeks prior, so the chance at her first choice Gold Chip daughter was a hot commodity at $60,000. Frosty, owned by Mike & Julie Duckett, Jim & Nancy Junemann, & Dr. Scott Armbrust, was recently raised in score to 2E-96, is a sixth generation VG or EX, and already has two All-American wins to her credit. Extending the final nod were Frank & Diane Borba, Peter Vail, and Joe Price. Also from the Chief Adeen family was first choice Snowman daughter of Ms Atlees Goldwyn Ariel-ET (VG-89, EX-MS), the Reserve All-American Jr. 2-Yr-Old in 2009 and a full sister to the very popular Aftershock and Atwood bulls. Ariel offspring have tested as high as +2257 GTPI and this offering commanded a $58,000 bid from In Touch Genomics, while Ms Ariel Manoman AvaET, born in June, was the $26,200 selection of The Power Group. Staying in New York was the consignment of Clear Echo Farm LLC, Schuylerville, NY, another Snowman choice due in June and out of Clear-Echo 822 Ramo 1200-ET (EX-92-DOM), dam of the $91,000 top of the 2010 National Convention Sale in June. With a GTPI of +2083, the popular Ramos daughter is becoming one of the breed’s most-sought-after females and Fly Higher Holsteins, Valley Falls, NY, placed the final bid at $39,700. Other sale highlights included: Coyne-Farms Freddi Jeven-ET, an Oct. ’09 Freddie from Coyne-Farms Ramos Jelly at $33,700 and Coyne-Farms Mass Jill-ET, her maternal sister and the number one Massey in the breed at $15,200; first choice female by Bookem at $22,000 from Regancrest Brasilia-ET (VG-88, EX-MS) who sold as a package with sons and daughters in the 2009 Parade of Perfection Sale for $1.5 million. 9LVLWRUVDQGLQTXLULHVDOZD\VZHOFRPH 7RGG*DOWRQDQG)DPLO\ 1XQGD1<² 5ROO19LHZ)DUPV//& %l<s&#)u<B %7Z|,ll 52//19,(:$/(;%5,672/ 3KRWRE\&\ELO)LVKHU 7KH 5R\DO ZDV WUXO\ %ULVWRO·V ´FURZQLQJ PRPHQWµDQGLWKDVEHHQD\HDUEH\RQG RXU ZLOGHVW GUHDPV 6R PDQ\ KDYH FRQWULEXWHG WR KHU VXFFHVV 2XU VLQFHUH WKDQNVWRWKH6PLWKJDOO)DPLO\-DFN5RVV $GDP +RGJLQV DQG DOO WKH ÀWWHUV WKDW ZRUNHGZLWKXVDQGRXUVKRZVWULQJ<RX PDGHDVKRZVHDVRQWRUHPHPEHU VWVSULQJFDOIDW5R\DO:LQWHU)DLU VWDW,QWHUQDWLRQDO-XQLRU6KRZ1<6)DLU 2SHQ6KRZ1<6)DLU<RXWK6KRZ(DVWHUQ )DOO1DWLRQDO6KRZ&1<+ROVWHLQ6KRZ :1<5HJLRQDO6KRZQGDW,QWHUQDWLRQDO +ROVWHLQ6KRZ²%UHG2ZQHGE\&RRSHU NEW YORK HOLSTEIN ASSOCIATION, INC. 2011 CALF SCHOLARSHIP The purpose of the Calf Scholarship Award Program is to select a youth who is worthy of the award - a fine pedigreed calf with the potential to develop into a future brood cow.

NYN December 2010 - 35 $36,500 Top at New York Harvest Sale A huge crowd and an outstanding line up of cattle beautifully prepared, made for another successful New York Harvest Sale as 110 full lots averaged $3212 on the Cornell campus in Ithaca. October 23. Hosted by the Cornell University Dairy Science Club, an added bonus to this year’s event was a reunion of CUDS members who traveled in from far and wide to renew acquaintances and enjoy the sale. If all things can come together for a sale offering, it happened in Tiger-Lily Dtry Lona-Red-ET, a May ’10 Scientific Destry-ET daughter who combines just what the market is demanding: red, polled, high genomics, deep cow family, and the type to go with it all! Consigned by Marshman Farms, Oxford, lots of presale interest combined with the energy of the crowd as bidding quickly rose to over $30,000. In the end, it was the Liz Partners, c/o the Faus Family, Rock Stream, who prevailed in placing the $36,500 bid. At +2122, the calf is the number one red & white genomic heifer in the United States and carried A.I. interest at sale time with more coming. Her Lawnboy dam was fresh and off to a great start in her first lactation with 4.1%f, the next dam is an EX-91 September Storm on track to finish over 1900f this lactation and a fourth generation VG or EX. Great annual supporters of the Harvest Sale, Dr. Barry & Diane England, Williamsburg, PA, went to $16,500 to own Clear-Echo Ramos 1771-ET (VG-85, VG-MS) with GTPI +2012 and making a fine record at 2-00.By Ramos, she was out of a VG-87 Toystory with 1387f at 2-04, the following five dams were all over 1100f and carried the Kings-Ransom prefix, as did the cow family beyond the top-seller’s dam. Clear Echo Farm LLC, Schuylerville, was the consignor. Carlton C. Bull, West Chazy, took home two of the higher sellers, including the $11,000 Ms Welcome Super Trisha-ET, an April ’10 Super calf from a VG-86 Colby averaging nearly 120 lbs. a day in her first four months at 1-10. The consignment of William Peck and Peter Vail, Schuylerville, the next dam was a VG-88 FBI with 1261f, followed by two more VG dams both over 1200f. At $5100, Bull took Tom & Nancy Murray’s fancy Goldwyn daughter, Muranda Goldwyn Anne-ET, from the Adeen family. Her dam, Larkindale-R Shttle Anna-ET (VG-87) was backed by 4x Jr. All-American Nominee Ridgedale Ava-ET (EX-92), then 3E-92 Lee Amy, 2E-94-DOM Chief Adeen, and Starbuck Ada (2E-94-DOM). The sale was managed by managed by The Cattle Exchange and sponsored by the NYHA. Dave Rama handled the auctioneer’s gavel with Horace Backus highlighting the pedigrees. Accepting bids from all over the Livestock Pavilion were Don Welk, Patsy Gifford, Ray LeBlanc, Rick Verbeek, Tom Harkenrider, and Jason Pullis.

The herd’s accomplishments were many: 21 years a PBR herd, 56 homebred Excellents to date, a former World Champion for milk production with 453,000M lifetime and another cow at 396,000M, a homebred All-American Jr. 2-YearOld, and many, many more. Sale Manager David Rama called it “one of the greatest sets of cattle for a herd dispersal we have ever sold” and as the Rohe family gathered in the ring at the start of the auction, Rama noted that “everything that is right with this country is in this ring right now.” The crowd’s applause signified its approval and affection for the Rohes. Final numbers showed a $1771 average on 128 full lots with cattle scattered throughout New York State, Ohio, Texas, and Pennsylvania, as well as the Canadian provinces of Quebec and Ontario. Great show cattle were certainly a part of the day’s offering and Lantland Farms, Ltd., Horseheads, went to $5,600 to own Rohes Koral Best (EX-90), a tremendous daughter of Hidden-View Best who was the winning 4-year-old and Senior & Grand Champion at the 2010 OnWego Holstein Show. Big and powerful, she sold averaging nearly 120 lbs. of milk in her first 5 months this year and was due again in March to Shottle. Her dam was a VG-85 Throne daughter and third generation over 1100 fat. Another show ring favorite, Rohes Durham Electra (EX-92) was the $5100 choice of Roger Schug, Monroeville, OH. One of several outstanding Durham daughters offered in the sale, this big, massive black cow was the first-place 5-yearold at the 2010 NY Spring Junior Show for Meghan Rohe. Her dam was an EX Rudolph daughter that sold on service to Durham to Ralph 40 - NYN December 2010 Bowering, Fulton, the next two dams were VG-87 & VG-88, both over 34,000 milk. Ken Beerwort, Knowlton, Quebec, made the journey south and was a great supporter of the sale, taking home 16 head in all including the day’s third-high seller, Rohes Durham Misty Dusk-ET, another fancy Durham daughter bred to Shottle. Her dam was an EX-90 Roy with 1145 fat at 3-03, followed by the All-American Rohes Leduc Misty Sue (EX-92) with 1589 fat and two more VG dams. Ransom Rail Farm, Perry, chose her full sister, Rohes Durham Misty May, a September ’09 heifer due in November to Shampoo. Gordon Wood, Tioga, PA, took the third full sister offered at $3600, she fresh in September and off to a good start. Wood was another strong supporter of the sale, extracting 17 head in all. His top purchase was Rohes Kristin Best (EX-92), another Rohe-bred Grand Champion in 2009 sired by Hidden-View Best that completed six generations of VG & EX. Rama handled the Dave auctioneer’s gavel throughout with Horace Backus to his right on pedigrees. Accepting bids were Don Welk (who purchased 16 head throughout the day), Larry Hill, and Jason Pullis. Merry Rama and Amber Newman capably handled the clerking duties. The cattle were beautifully prepared and the local junior Holstein club kept everyone well fed throughout the sale. A partial buyers’ list follows.
