Heersche has been an extension dairy special- ist at South Dakota State University since 1975. Heersche will have primary state-wide responsibility for the dairy extension 4-H program for the Animal Sciences Department with additional work in physiology of repro- duction and dairy management. He will coach the 4-H dairy judging team.

m Kansas native, Heersche was reared on a registered Holstein dairy farm where he was active in 4-H projects. He obtained his B.S. and M.S. degrees from Kansas State University as well as his Ph.D. (1975). His doctoral disserta- tion dealt with estrous synchronization in heifers and his M.S. thesis concerned a study and classification of bovine cystic ovaries.

Heersche's work experiences include time at Carnation Milk Farms as show herd caretaker and at Pleasant Valley Holstein Farm in Harper, KS. He was also a DHI and WMT supervisor supervisor in Kansas for one year.

Heersche is a member of the American Dairy Science Association and Gamma Sigma Delta Honor Society.

William Lee Crist joined the University of Kentucky dairy extension faculty in July as associate extension professor. Crist was for-

merly an area dairy extension agent in northeastern Ohio for eight years. His duties at Kentucky will in- clude educational pro- gramming in mastitis, milking machines, and facility layouts. Crist has been active in a regional mastitis field study for the past few

years. Crist received his B.S. degree in dairy science

in 1964, his M.S. in physiology of reproduction in 1967, and his Ph.D. in physiology of re- production in 1970, all from Ohio State Uni- versity. He was a graduate research assistant at Ohio State University from 1965 to 1968, a research associate from 1968 to 1969, and an academic advisor to students from 1969 to 1970. He belongs to Gamma Sigma Delta and Phi Lambda Upsilon Honor Societies.
