As I write this,it is officially“Spring,” but thewind chill today is12º. It is Ohio!And, in true Ohiofashion, tomor-row may be 70º;so hopefully,“Spring” is just

around the corner.As we pray for warmer weather, I

have to mention the fantastic Conven-tion Sale we had with an incrediblelineup of animals. The sale averaged$3,584. Everything went smoothly,and the folks in Western Ohio did agreat job with the entire conventionand should be commended. I thinkthat everyone who attended enjoyedthemselves.

The annual meeting was interest-ing with Trans Ova presenting infor-mation about their new satellite clinichere in Ohio. The Women’s FunAuction continues to get better everyyear and always has some heatedbidding that ultimately benefits ourJuniors.

Congratulations to our All-Ohioand Junior All-Ohio winners. Congra-tulations, too, to the Ohio-bred andOhio-exhibited All-American nomi-nees and award winners.

If you haven’t had a chance to readthe March issue of the Holstein World,I suggest that you turn to page six andread Karen Knutsen’s column. Shedeserves big kudos for her columntargeting our near-perfect product,milk. She focuses on avenues for futureopportunities in the beverage market.

If you or any Junior members youknow are interested in being moreinvolved in the association, pleasecontact the Ohio Holstein office, yourboard representative or me personally,740-207-5005. The Ohio HolsteinAssociation has something for every-one. The national convention is close-by in Indianapolis, Indiana, this year.Mark your calendar for July 7-11, 2013,for the Race to Indy. It would be a greattime to experience a national conven-tion if you have never attended before.

By the end of this week, SpringDairy Expo will be behind us. We willbe able to see some outstanding cattle,attend several sales, get reacquaintedwith old friends and meet new ones

this week. Best of luck to all exhibitorsand consignors!

I hail from northern PickawayCounty, and I am honored to serve asthe President of our state association.Previously, I served as Vice Presidentand District 5 representative to theboard and the executive committee.My wife, Judy Wolford, and I farm nearAshville where we operate Silver MistHolsteins. In January 1992, we movedto this farm from northwest PA. Thisfarm has been in Judy’s family forthree generations, and we are proud toonce again have dairy cattle graze onthe fertile ground, just as Judy’sparents and grandparents did.

Judy and I met while we were bothworking for the Holstein Association.I was working as a classifier, and shewas working as a consultant. Thesedays Judy’s off-the-farm profession isas an attorney, and her off-the-farmposition is as Pickaway CountyProsecutor. As we were both raised onRegistered Holstein farms, it wasinevitable that we, too, would ownand milk Holsteins.

But a good cow is a good cow nomatter what her color. While westarted out milking only Holsteins onour farm, we now have a mixed herd

of about 50 milking cows. Approxi-mately 75% are Holsteins, with thebalance being Ayrshires, Brown Swissand Jerseys. It is only fitting to havemultiple breeds since Judy’s grand-parents started out with a mixed herdon this farm.

Our farm has 400 acres, where wegrow corn, soybeans, wheat andalfalfa. We have two main barns: onefor our milking herd and one for ourdry cows and heifers. All animals havepasture available to them. We alsohave an old bank barn, which werecently found to be more than 150years old, that we use for hay andstraw storage.

Over the years, we have had anumber of young adults who havehelped on the farm and who haveshown our cattle as well. We hope thatwe have been a positive influence inthe lives of all of our “children,” andwe strive to continue to support eachof them in their many activities andcareers.

Kikos used the upgrade program and have been able todevelop more good cow families. They are now on theHolstein Complete program and have just started theEASY-ID program to register calves.

On the application form, Russell wrote, “Our firstexperience dealing with Registered Holsteins was back in1985, when Randall and I showed our first heifers at thecounty fair. We placed last and next-to-last. Right away werealized that we needed to start asking some questions, anda lot of them, because last and next-to-last was not wherewe wanted to be in the future.”

Russell continues, “We had a lot of help and advicefrom our neighbors and fair neighbors such as the Hippley,Casper, Moff, Whiteleather, McKarns and Blickensderferfamilies. Their patience and support will always beremembered. Around home in the spring, our neighborRod Hoopes was a great help in picking out the bestanimals to take to the shows and gave great advice onclipping and fitting.”

He then says, “As we got older, we were asked by othersto help them during the fair time. We helped Dyes, theLoras, the Shoemakers and Jim Beardsly. Their letting ushelp was a very good learning experience. It was rewardingfor us to have that responsibility at a pretty young age. MayI add that we were plenty ornery at that stage of our lives.They were fun and exciting times!”

Russell goes on to say, “There are so many others whohave helped us along the way, such as Ernie Aegerter, MikeSchmuck, Bill McKarns and the Lang family. We will alwaysbe thankful for their advice and the help they gave us.

“Most of all, we are most grateful to our parents fortheir teachings. We were taught to work hard and to beproud of our accomplishments. They gave us hugeresponsibilities with the cows and the farming at a very,very young age, while my dad was gone on most daysworking full-time in the family auction business. Wewould not be succeeding today without all our parentstaught us themselves. They let us learn on our own, andthey let us handle the decision making with the cows,”adds Russell.

Russell concludes, “The cattle industry has led us tomany great friendships, for which we are grateful. The Lordhas been gracious to us and our occupation. There is not abetter place to live and raise a family than on a farm.”

Holstein Woman of the Year 2013

Suzann SprengKathy Whiteleather Johnson, presenter

Like many Holstein women, this year’s winner has hada behind-the-scenes role in the dairy industry her entirelife. At the age of 10, her father began milking cows inHardin County after relocating his family from sunnysouthern California. She spent her entire childhood andyoung adult life helping her father, mother and brothergrow the herd until her brother could take over the familyfarm.

One year, when showing cattle at the Marion CountyFair, she had a cow get loose from her, and it was caughtby a fellow dairyman, John, who then became herhusband in 1975. As a young newlywed, she found herselfin a new milking parlor in Bucyrus, milking with herbrother-in-law Jim.

Over the years, as the two brothers developed theirgenetics and registered herd, she spent numerous hourspreparing meals for the milk testers and classifiers andcleaning to make the farm ready for the farm tours thatSelect Sires, NOBA and World Wide Sires brought to thefarm.

She also enjoyed the several Young Sires trips that shetook with many other Holstein breeders.

During all the years of showing cattle, she mostly stayedhome to cover the chores or be prepared to drive the show

crew at whatever hour was needed to get to the next show.The early show years did not include hiring fitters.Therefore, unfortunately, she was always stationed at therear end of the cows getting the tails ready. Remember —with no fitters, that was also the only part of the cow thatlooked perfectly fitted. Holding the title of Chief TailEngineer was also her job during picturing the cows.

Like all Holstein women, no matter how many hourswere spent at the farm, her family always came in to awarm, fully-cooked meal, clean home and clean whiteshow clothes.

Through the mid-80s to mid-90s, she spent her timechasing her daughter Anne through numerous Holsteinactivities. She never missed a Holstein Convention, heavilysupported the Ohio Juniors and spent a lot of time atringside in 1996 when Anne was Holstein Queen. Annewas either handing her mother a cow to show or a tiaraand sash to keep clean. She also travelled the state that yeardriving her daughter to almost all the district shows.

In more recent years, she continues to support herhusband John’s role on the Ohio State Fair Commissionand in the family grain farming operation.

Finally, even though there are no cows being milked atLongacre Farms today, this Holstein Woman of the Yearstands ready to run anytime her son-in-law Joe,calls with arequest for Buck’s Pride.

The 2013 Ohio Holstein Woman of the Year is SUZANNSPRENG.

Julie RennerBarb Lumley, presenter

Each year someone from our Ohio HolsteinAssociation is chosen for the Distinguished Service Award.This is done by asking for nominations from three pastpresidents. If there is more than one nominee, the threepresidents vote to select the recipient.

The saying goes that, if you want something done, youask a busy person. This year’s award winner is definitely abusy person.

She grew up on a dairy farm that has bred Holsteinsand has been active in the Ohio Holstein Association formany years. Their prefix and the kind of cattle they breedare well-known. JULIE RENNER is the daughter of Ted andPenny Renner, Renwind Farm, Dalton, Ohio D-7.

She has been involved in helping with barn chores asshe grew up. She has shown cattle all through her life in 4-H, at the county fair, the district shows, the Ohio State Fair,the Spring Dairy Expo and others. She has won numerousribbons and awards.

She has been very active in the Ohio HolsteinAssociation, having served on and chaired various andimportant committees. She has helped with sales includingdecorating the sale rings. She had volunteered her time andtalent by helping at the Ohio Holstein office and helpingthe Ohio Holstein Women with their projects.

A graduate of The Ohio State University, Julie lovesthose Ohio State Buckeyes and lets everyone know it.

While doing all these activities, she also keeps a full-time job off the farm.

If you had a good time at this year’s convention and theconventions in the past years, it is because of all the timeand energy she has put into making our Ohio HolsteinConventions a success.

The inspiration for this column came from the strong two-,three- and four-generation families in our association and froma column by David White, Executive Director of he OhioLivestock Coalition, in the March 2013 Ohio’s Country Journal.

He talked about the challenges of communication across fourgenerations: Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Gen X and Gen Y.

The Traditionalists were born before 1946. They tend to likepersonal contacts and conversations and print media.

It should be no surprise that the largest group in activeleadership is the Baby Boomers, born between 1946 and 1964.They are sometimes called the sandwich generation, as they maybe called upon to take responsibility for both their children andtheir parents. Many are adopting technology and using digitalmedia, and they still value personal communication.

Generation X is considered to be those individuals bornbetween 1965 and 1979. They seem comfortable with web-based information, especially email and possibly social media.

The most connected generation appears to be Generation Yborn between 1980 and 2000. They have grown up with the newcommunication technologies.

And so the challenge for Ohio Holstein is to communicatewell with each of these groups.

We have the print media, Ohio Holstein News, and hard copysale catalogs. We also have our web site, for fast and widespreadcommunication, kept up to date by webmaster Peter Spike. Mostof the cow photos now come on email, although at times wedelve into our hard copy files for photos. Even though salecatalogs are on line, we still have many requests for the printedcatalog. Most ads now come on email. Events such as theConvention, Spring Dairy Expo, Shows and Sales provide forpersonal communication and fellowship.

T hink Spring!


28 | OHIO NEWS | 3-4/2013

I’m writing this column at the same time Spring DairyExpo is in full swing. The cattle for the sales and shows lookgreat, and I expected nothing less at Columbus. With asuccessful Annual Meeting and Convention Sale on March8, a huge thanks goes to the people from western Ohio. Afew people that I would like to personally thank would beJenny, Chris, Eric, Mary Lou, Diane, Pete, and of course, theWarden (Barb) for all their efforts. I would also like tothank the consignors, the sale crew, the contenders andcertainly the buyers for your continued support to the OhioHolstein Association.

On April 20 at the Wayne County Fairgrounds inWooster, Ohio, will be the Ohio Spring Sale with 70 headof cattle, including animals with very large contracts andseveral heifers for 4-H projects, including some really fancyRed ones. Take a look at the Spring Sale ad in this issue, andmark your calendar for 11:00 a.m. on that Saturday.

The Building Committee made the decision to replacesome of the light fixtures and the bulbs at the office, andwhat a difference that has made! One particular day inMarch, we had five individuals here from Turkey, Estherand her daughter Karen, Diana working in her office, alongwith Ken Janes and myself meeting with the Turks. Onoccasion, this place can be very active, and what a beautifulbuilding the Association has to do business.

The National Holstein Association AnnualMeeting in Indianapolis this year is an easy trip for most ofthe people in Ohio, and if you’ve never attended theConvention or the Convention Sale, it’s a great event and aworthwhile trip. On that note, there has been discussion atBoard meetings of the possibility of putting a tour togetherfor our members or guests, and I would like your feedbackon organizing a bus trip to The Royal Agricultural WinterFair in Toronto, Canada, this November. The New York

General Manager’s Views — by Don Alexander

Back on the 15th of February, I had the opportunity to assistMaggie Murphy and her team in photographing No-Fla MichelinFarah-25731 EX-90, who was First Four-Year-Old and Grand andSupreme Champion of the 2013 Florida State Fair.

Farah is owned by North Florida Holsteins of Bell, Florida, andDon Bennink mentioned that she was 300 days in milk and due backin May at the time of the show. Her sire is the Accelerated bull,Wesswood-HC Michelin (Wes), the Dutch Boy son of the famous RudyMissy from Pine Tree Dairy in Rittman, Ohio. Her dam is a Good PlusBuckaneer, and her grandam is a VG Garter.

Association has done this several times, and they have hadreally good participation; getting through the Canadianborder has been trouble-free. I have had the opportunity togo to the Royal several times, and the last few years therehave been several people from Ohio who have made thetrip and watched one of the greatest cow shows in theworld. Our next board meeting will be April 26. Let me oryour director know if you’re interested, so we can startmaking plans right away.

I hope to see everyone in Wooster for the Ohio SpringSale on the April 20.

Take care, Don

REPORTS FROM COMMITTEES:

Scholarships —There were 10 applicants this year. Julie Renner emails information to anyone who might be interested in

applying with an email application going to OSU-ATI, main campus OSU and Wilmington College, as well as onthe Ohio Holstein Association website. Julie suggested the scholarship recipients could be chosen earlier than theday of the convention, if someone wanted to get them from the Holstein office and read and judge them, and therecipients could know in order to attend the convention.

There were various discussions. Laurie Menzie made a motion that Sara Twining and Becci Hartline look overthe scholarship application and revise it to include membership of the Junior Holstein Association or the OhioHolstein Association. Katie Lora seconded the motion. The motion was passed. Revision should be sent toPresident Kathy, who will get it out to those in attendance at this meeting for approval.

Two primary versions of the genomic test are currentlyavailable: the GGP-LD 9K SNP Genomic Test ($45) and thenew GGP-HD 77K SNP Genomic Test ($125). “GGP”stands for Geneseek® Genomic Profiler™, the official brandname of the test we offer, and “LD” indicates the LowDensity test, with “HD” indicating the Higher Density Test.“9K” and “77K” indicate the number of Single NucleotidePolymorphisms (SNPs) evaluated with each test —approximately 9,000 and 77,000, respectively.

Both tests now come with several other tests includedfor the base price. Bundled tests include DUMPS, BLAD,Holstein haplotypes and milk protein indicators, among

others. Additionally, tests for other genetic conditions suchas coat color, horned/polled, brachyspina and CVM can beadded on for reduced fees, with all tests being done fromjust one DNA sample. This saves time and energy in havingto submit several DNA samples with different forms toperform multiple tests on one animal, and there is also acost savings.

Finally, we want to be sure that all are aware — HolsteinCOMPLETE herds receive a five percent credit on allgenomic tests ordered.

Update on Genomic Testing BullsHolstein Association USA is accepting orders for

genomic testing kits for males, with evaluations expected tobe available starting with the April 2013 official evaluation.The Council on Dairy Cattle Breeding (CDCB) recentlyvoted to charge a service fee for all animals being genomictested, but as of the day of this writing (late February 2013)Holstein USA will not be charging any additional fees untildefined mechanisms are put into place to account andcollect such fees. Holstein USA will continue to charge thesame fees for testing any Holstein, male or female.
