About the Cover
For the Type Issue, we feature two members of the “Tamara” family at Gaige Farms in Schoharie,
NY. On the left is Gaige Shottl Time Will Tell (VG-87), a Picston Shottle-ET daughter, and on the right is
her dam, Gaige Adv Take Your Time-ET (2E-92). Take Your Time, sired by KHW Kite Advent-Red-ET, is
an own daughter of the herd’s matriarch, Gaige Highlight Tamara (4E-97-DOM), All-American 125,000Lb. Cow in 2004 and twice Reserve All-American.
From the Editor
The New York State Fair has wrapped up for Holstein
exhibitors and now our members will be heading to National
competitions. Best of luck to all those who continue their show
season and thank you for being great representatives of the
high caliber of New York Holsteins. Outstanding quality at all
the summer shows has been a testament to the breeders and
exhibitors throughout the Empire State.
MICHAEL McCAFFREY
I hope you enjoy the feature in this month’s Type Issue, as
breeders share their thoughts and insights about type and its
importance in their breeding programs. The enviable list of high BAA herds on page 15
shows the number of super type herds we have here.
Our October issue of the News will again be distributed at World Dairy Expo, and I invite
everyone to be part of this exciting edition. The issue, our largest each year, will have all the
summer show reports and is be a great opportunity to promote your show winners. So much
time, effort, and hard work goes into showing and I applaud all who use this venue not only to
win ribbons and trophies, but also take the time to speak with the public about dairy farming,
animal care, and production agriculture. Several times I experienced exhibitors talking with
curious fairgoers about their cattle. This is a great way to educate non-farm folks and that is
so important today.
The October issue will also feature the breeders from Tri-County as well as several fall
sales. The advertised product is the one that sells the best. Let me know how I can help you
promote your cattle and breeding program.
All-New York and Junior All-New York entry forms with photos (digital or hard copy) are
due October 15. Forms are found in this issue, as well as online.
Have a safe, bountiful fall harvest.

Report
PATSY GIFFORD
September already. Summer was pretty short this
year, but crops seem good for the most part and the
seasons will move along as they always do. Fall in New
York is a beautiful time of year. I hope, after a busy
summer, your family can enjoy some fall activities
before we settle into another good old New York winter.
It was an especially busy summer at New York
Holstein. The State Picnic at Tudors’ Elm-Spring Farm,
just as I promised, was a spectacular day to remember.
Perfect weather, a spit and polished farmstead and herd,
lots of jolly people, tons of wonderful food, and lots of
signage to help visitors easily make their way around
the farm. Their innovative idea of having a Silent Cattle
Auction couldn’t have worked out better and was
the perfect way for Tudors to offer some outstanding
members of their best cow families while still enjoying
their picnic and keeping the low profile and relaxing
atmosphere they really wanted. Fund raising for our 2016
National Convention is ongoing. Tudors were gracious
enough to make space available for a Silent Auction of
donated items that raised over $1700. It was a grand
day in every way and the icing on the cake was looking
toward the parking lot and seeing Horace walking up
the road. Elm-Spring is not the easiest place to find and
he had circled a while, but Horace made the four hour
trip alone to “finally see the 100% homebred herd he’d
always heard great things about, but never seen.” Each
year, our picnic hosts do a bang up job with the picnic.
Very special thanks to Tudors for this year’s first class
continuation of this tradition.
Next year, we’ll see you in western New York at
Coyne Farms. Greg is planning to include their new
processing facility in the day’s activities. Each year is a
little different and always a pleasure. When we have an
exact date, we’ll make sure you have it so you can mark
it on your 2015 calendar.
2016 and after are open, so please consider hosting.
Tudors had lots of reservations and hesitations about
hosting, but pulled it off as pros. You can, too. And I’m
always happy to help and offer any information and
contacts from past hosts.
Making the summer busier than usual was our
Summer Blast Sale in Waterloo. We hatched the idea at
the spring board meeting and, after bouncing it around
a bit, decided that New York has the high caliber of
cattle and people to pull off a smaller, elite sale near
and at Empire Farm Days time. Jonathan Lamb was
instrumental in keeping us on track and the ball rolling.
The Seneca County Fairgrounds were wonderful to work
with. Local member Allan Merrill steered us in the right
directions for details only a local would know. When the
dust settled, 53 full lots averaged $12,575 with animals
going all over the country. Thank you to everyone who
bought, sold, and supported.
Next on the sale lineup is our annual Harvest Sale
at Cornell. It’s the long held tradition of offering top
breeding stock that become success stories for buyers.
We still have room for consignments. Please give Dave

State Fair ends the summer show season and its
activities wrap up summer events. This year’s State Fair
shows were very high quality and made it clear that
New York Holsteins will have fun this fall. The Grand
Champion, Oakfield Corners bred and owned by juniors
Whitney Kugler, Brock Liddle, and Kate Vail, is one to
watch the rest of the year and a real testament to New
York Holsteins. Congratulations to the western New
York group who had a great day and shared the Premier
Banners. Jonathan and Alicia Lamb took the Breeder
and Reyncrest the Exhibitor.
Thank you to everyone who supported this year’s
junior calf raffle. Todd Galton and Family gave us a
tremendous calf. Statewide, the juniors dug in and
sold tickets like crazy. When junior member and State
Dairy Princess Casey Porter drew the winning ticket she
picked from a 75 pound milker pail packed heaping full
of tickets. That’s a lot of little 2” x 2” squares of paper.
Huge thanks to the Galtons, all who supported with
ticket purchases, and juniors who put so much effort
into our biggest annual Junior Association fund raiser.
A healthy treasury insures that we can continue offering
the junior programs that help enrich and encourage
the next generation in our industry. And good luck to
winner, Jake Pennings.
Our final State Fair activity is our Little Britches
Showmanship after the show on Monday. A
photographer who came along and snapped lots of
pictures said, “this is the cutest thing going on anywhere
on the fairgrounds.” Calves and kids of every size and
shape from little brothers and sisters of junior showmen
to many fairgoers who come along and are thrilled to
pet and lead a calf. They can never believe how soft
they are. It’s organized by our DJMs and lot of other
juniors pitch in to help each Little Britches walk their
calf around the ring, line up, and get a rainbow ribbon
and milk chocolate candy bar. This year’s DJMs, Emma
Andrew and Shannon Fletcher, did a great job, along
with their helpers to make friends and help build a farm
to city bridge with 95 little and big kids who, as one
woman about my age gushed, “never dreamed they’d
lead a calf.” It’s a ton of fun and I’d recommend it at
your county level.
Looking ahead, I hope you’re planning to join us for
the bus trip to the Saratoga area. I guarantee it will be
an interesting good time. Questions: Ed Tyler (315-3357005). Reservations: Ed or our office.
I hope you’ve had a great summer and plan to enjoy
some or all of our fall activities.
Take care and keep in touch.

BAA: 110.5
Hi All!!
I know you have all missed me
deeply but no worries, I am back!
It is now September, which marks
the end of the summer and the
beginning of many new things. It
is the beginning of a new school
year, college or high school, and
the beginning of a new season.
As the leaves begin to change and
MIQUELA HANSELMAN
fall to the ground, farmers begin
to harvest corn and soybeans- the
finale of the crop season. So naturally, I decided I would
touch on the idea of new beginnings. Many of us, especially kids, seem to think the end of summer is sad. It’s the
end of freedom, of no school and not having to worry or
stress about much. But there is also beauty in the beginning of fall and everything it brings. It’s a new start to the
school year, an opportunity to make a change, to work on
something new that you want to become good at, whether
it be sports or school or just becoming more involved in
new activities.
As for my main topic for this article, since we are in
the middle of show season, I thought it would be interesting to touch on the art of showing. As Holstein people, I
know we all love to go watch great cow shows -whether
it be your county show, state fair, or one of the national
shows. But with watching all these great shows comes
many opinions. I have always been a person that loved
dairy judging. I judged at state fair and earned the opportunity to judge at both Harrisburg and Madison under
Coach Waterman, and I hope to be on the Cornell team
at some point. After that, I doubt I will carry on with
dairy judging. You see, when a judge gets asked to judge
a show, they get asked to be put in front of a large crowd
of people who love their cows and think that they should
win. I was walking with my brother and discussing this
when Ladd said that he would hate to judge a show because you could never make everyone happy. And I have
to say a part of me agrees with him, that I would never
want to be the person that everyone could point their finger at. But there is also a part of me that thinks I would
love it because after almost every show I watch, there is
always a decision I get upset about. But then I always
remind myself that I wasn’t the judge, and that he or she
gets to make the final decision. So to come to the point of
all my rambling, I just want to remind people to be kinder
to the judges. They may not always make the decision
you agree with, and sometimes you might blame it on
politics or not seeing the whole ring, but it is what they
see as best for that day. On another day, with another
judge, there may be a different decision that is more to
your liking but for that day, just be content and let the
judge do their job. That is what they get asked to do, so
respect them for it.
As for my wise words for the month, touching back on
fall bringing new beginnings, I challenge all of you to try
something new or different with this new school year. Stop
worrying that it is something you don’t know a lot about
or how to do, or that you aren’t used to, just go ahead and
do it! I think you will be amazed with the outcome, and
you might be pleasantly surprised with the results.

Allegany-Steuben Holstein Club News

Chemung County Club News
By Jenny Reese
Labor Day has rolled around again and so quickly,
too! For many that means schools are opening their
doors to elementary, high school, and college-aged kids.
Our kids are setting down their brushes and cow halters
to grab books and backpacks.
Most fairs have finished their week long run, with
the Great New York State Fair having just concluded.
Hopefully everyone made it out to watch one of the
dairy shows that was held in Syracuse.
Chemung County had a great showing by many its
members this year. About 140 head of cattle were exhibited at the fair. 47 junior members walked the shavings
on July 28th for showmanship. Master Showmanship
honors went to Maria Noble. On July 29th Judge Richard
Wright gave Junior Show Junior Champion honors to
Jordan Bergen with her Spring Yrlg., Hackett Lights On,
a Regancrest Dundee-ET daughter. Following in similar
style was Jordan’s Fall Calf, Lylehaven Aft Intense, a MS
Atlees Sht Aftershock-ET daughter for Reserve Junior
Champion. After an afternoon of judging milk cows,
Judge Wright’s final nod for Sr. and Grand Champion of
the Junior Show went to a fancy-uddered Sr.-2 Yr.-Old,
BHL Harkdale Alltheway-ET, a Pine Tree Sid-ET daughter owned by Jimmy and Delaney Bergen. Kirt Menzi, Jr.
exhibited the Reserve Sr. and Reserve Grand Champion
with Lantland Aspen Hemley, his EK-Oseeana AspenET 4 Yr. Old. Congratulations to these Junior member
show winners!!
Best of luck to everyone that is carrying on to Harrisburg, Louisville and/or Madison with their dairy animals. Show them how competitive New York Registered
Holsteins can be!
As many or all of you know, seven year old Reese
Burdette and her grandmother, Patricia Stiles, sustained
serious injuries in a house fire a few months ago. Patricia Stiles has made it home and is continuing to heal
and rehabilitate from there. Reese is still in the hospital
fighting her injuries. They both still need our prayers
and continued support as they continue to battle their
injuries and heal. Reese and Patricia have both come
a long way, but still have a long way to go. Anything
that you can do is greatly appreciated by their whole
family and many, many friends. Please keep them in
your thoughts and prayers as you go about your daily
routines.
Our corn crops are about ready to be harvested. Be
sure to check and replace any chain guards, PTO shields
and other safety features that will keep you, your family
and employees safe. We all need to practice farm safety
year round, but when working with your equipment remember to be extra vigilant of yourself and others working with you.
Have a safe and happy September!
Connie’s North Country Chatter
By Connie Gerow
Have you ever noticed that summer seems to be
shorter? Or maybe it’s just because the clocks are set on
“fast” time! Whew… it’s time to catch our breath!
Jeff and I were crazy-busy with getting our hay done.
Unlike many who chop-away their hay, we are at the
mercy of “mother nature” to dry our hay to make small
squares. As the old saying goes, ‘make hay when the
sun shines’ and that we did. Jeff does 99% of the mowing; we share the tedding and raking duties; and I do
99% of the baling. We have a JD348 kicker-baler and I
just love to see how many bales I can get on our steel
wagons.
Early in July, I accompanied our 4-H Dairy Judging
team to a regional competition in Jefferson County. In
addition to the experience of judging, this was an awesome opportunity for our county youth to view some
very diverse operations. Starting at Old McDonald’s
Farm in Sackets Harbor where Holsteins were judged
in the free stall. A highlight of this stop was the innovaContinued on next page
tive marketing strategy of a developed learning center,
a souvenir shop and eatery. We then traveled to Lake
Effect farm in Adams, where the 4-H’ers judged Milking
Shorthorn heifers at a relatively smaller dairy. The last
judging stop was at Hy-Light Farm in Watertown where
Jerseys and Holsteins were judged. Here the 4-H members were able to see how a stall barn was converted
into a milking parlor, holding area, and heifer facility.
Whereas, our 2014 New York State Dairy Princess
Casey Porter was among the contingent of Jefferson
County participants, I was asked by our group if we
could “please, please, please visit the Porterdale Farm.”
For me, there was not much arm twisting to happen.
Kindly, Casey escorted our group to their 1,850 milking
cow operation. As you entered the calf barn, one immediately recognized the excellent attention the calves
received in the nursery. This would be the standard of
measure for which the Porters maintain their operation.
Thank you, Casey and the Porters, for allowing us to
have an impromptu visit.
On a beautiful warm, Sunday afternoon on, July
20th, our club picnic was graciously hosted by Scott
and Judy Hamilton at their Sweet Willow homestead.
Club members were invited to bring a dish or dessert to
share. A hearty serving of pulled pork, salt potatoes, and
corn-on-the-cob was enjoyed by all. The evening entertainment was a vigorous game of lawn volleyball. Let’s
just say, there were some players who literally “rolled”

BAA: A Method
of Comparison
The average classification score of Holstein
cows varies according to age. To account for
the variation, Breed Age Average (BAA) was
developed. To compute BAA percent, the actual score is adjusted for age and stage of lactation. The adjusted score is divided by breed
average and multiplied by 100. This means
a cow with breed average score for her age
group will have a BAA of 100.
By using BAA, a breeder can compare the
scores of cows of different ages. The breeder can also compare his herd as a whole
to other herds without knowing the ages of
cows in those herds. The lowest 10 percent
of individual cow BAAs are excluded from an
official herd BAA calculation.
If the herd BAA of a particular herd has
remained constant over a period of years, it
does not mean the herd has not made improvement in type. It simply means this herd
has made improvement at essentially the
same rate as breed averages. It is possible
for a herd to have made overall improvement
in type even though the herd BAA has declined slightly.

RICHARD KEENE
Richard “Dick” Keene, award
winning dairyman and worldrenowned dairy cattle judge,
passed away peacefully at his
home in Gilbertsville, NY on
July 25, 2014. Born September 30, 1935 to the late Marjorie (Macumber) and Joseph
Keene, Dick spent a lifetime
dedicating himself as a Holstein breeder and enthusiast,
accredited dairy cattle judge
and a friend and ambassador to the dairy and agriculture industries.
After graduating from Cornell University in 1957,
Dick worked as a field man and classifier for the National Holstein Association. In 1960 he returned to the
home farm with his father Joe and eventually became
owner and operator of Keeneland Farm in Gilbertsville,
NY. He devoted nearly half a century to breeding and
developing many outstanding generations of Excellent
cows and cow families on the farm. At one point there
were five cows in the herd with the Keeneland prefix
that had tremendous longevity and each produced over
200,000 lbs. of milk. His careful selection of high typed
sires along with his meticulous management skills made
Dick one of the most prominent Holstein Breeders in
New York State. He and his family enjoyed exhibiting
cattle at the local, county and state level for many years.
The Keeneland prefix was frequently associated with
many Premier Breeder and Premier Exhibitor awards. In
1997 a devastating fire at Keeneland Farm resulted in a
herd dispersal.
After garnering top honors at the national collegiate
dairy judging contest in Waterloo, IA, Dick proceeded
to establish himself as a well-known, highly-respected
and distinguished national and international dairy cattle
judge. He was the youngest person to ever judge the
Holstein Show at the World Dairy Expo in Madison, WI
and is the only person to have judged that show five different times and the Royal Canadian Exposition twice.
Dick considered himself privileged to have judged numerous shows across the country and around the world.
His personal integrity and honesty as a cattle judge along
with his great eye for cattle earned him the distinction of
“the greatest judge to enter any show ring, whether it be
at the State, National or International level.”
Dick’s dedication, vision, exemplary leadership and
passion to the dairy industry were impeccable. He served
on the National Holstein Association Board of Directors,
as National Holstein Vice President and President. During his years as a National Director, Dick served on the
type committee where he was involved in making modifications to the true type model Holstein cow.
Dick’s professional service, guidance and leadership
outside of agriculture were impressive and significant
as well. Dick was a 50-year member of the Gilbertsville
Presbyterian Church, serving as Sunday school teacher,
elder and chairman of the board of trustees. In addition he organized an annual golf tournament as a major
fundraiser. Dick served on the Board of Directors for the
Wilber National Bank, Otsego County Cooperative Extension and Otsego County Farm Bureau; was on the
advisory committees of the Otsego County Farm Service
Agency and Cornell Ag Advisory Committee; and completed 20 years of service as a school board member. Additionally, Dick was a long time member of the O-H-M
and Chenango County Holstein Clubs and Morris Rotary
Club.
Dick and his family received the first NY State Governor’s award, recognizing farm families for their excellence and contributions to agriculture. In 1996 he received Cornell University’s Outstanding Alumni Award
for his years of service and commitment. In addition,
Dick was honored in 2007 with the National Dairy
Shrine Award for his distinguished service.
Dick had a strong passion for youth and youth activities and enjoyed helping young people reach their
goals and potential. For many years Dick served as organizational leader of the Gilbertsville 4-H Dairy Club
and coach of the Otsego County 4-H dairy judging team,
resulting in many of his 4-H members placing well at the
NY State and National 4-H dairy judging contests.
Dick was a sports enthusiast. He enjoyed playing and
watching most athletic events and was an avid golfer.
One final “talent” that Dick was widely known and admired for, as well as often viewed with equal parts awe
and skepticism, was his uncanny ability as a spot-on
“water witch” or dowser. He gladly traveled, sometimes
great distances, to find water that modern technology
often could not find.
Dick is survived by Shirley, his wife of 54 years; five
daughters- Laurie Griffen (Steve) of Schuylerville, NY,
Beth Keene of Perry, NY, Cathy Buck (Andy) of Skaneateles, NY, Carol Ainslie (Brad) of West Winfield, NY,
and Becky Ashley (Eric) of Lancaster, PA; three sisters
– Beverly Hay of Gilbertsville, Sandy Stoy (David) of
Otego, and Elizabeth Emerling (John) of Perry. Dick was
especially proud of his 13 grandchildren and enjoyed
traveling to see them in all of their numerous activities
and accomplishments – Alexandra, William, and Luke
Griffen; Carrie, Mary, Joe, and Lyda Buck; Ellie, Austin,
Aidan, and Abbie Ainslie; and Karah and Calla Ashley.
Dick was a model citizen for his local community, as
well as those surrounding him on the state and national
level. He was blessed with a dedicated and supportive
family and a circle of friends that extends far and wide.
He will be greatly missed.
A service of celebration and remembrance was
held at the First Presbyterian Church in Gilbertsville

Bellvale Holsteins Dispersal
Al & Judy Buckbee and Family of Warwick, NY
dispersed their well-known Bellvale Holsteins herd June
14, 2014 in Lancaster, PA, with 73 lots averaging $2426.
The herd boasted a BAA of 109.8 and a RHA of 23,772
3.6 864 3.0 724.
Topping the sale at $7,300 was Bellvale Dundee
Dawn (EX-90, EX-MS), a Dundee daughter backed by
four generations of VG dams sired by Roy, Lee, Iv-Ann,
& Jed. With a record of 2-09 2x 365 31,220 3.5 1087
3.4 1066, she was headed for another big record at
4-02 and milking 98 lbs. on her latest test. Todd Lohr,
Hooversville, PA, was the buyer.
At $6,200, Scarlet Summer Holsteins, Muncy, PA,
took home Carrousel Durham Alicia (2E-93), a Durham
daughter with records over 32,000m and due in late
fall to Fever. Her dam was also 2E-93, she by Leduc,
followed by Ms Kingstead Chief Adeen-ET (2E-94DOM), then C Aitkenbrae Starbuck Ada (2E-94-DOM).
Her May ’13 Fever daughter sold for $3,250 to James &
Judith Campbell, Clear Spring, MD, while her Shottle
daughter, Bellvale Shottle Ada-Tw (VG-86) went with
the high seller at $5,600.
Another EX Durham, Bellvale Durham Judy-ET (EX90, EX-MS), commanded a $5,550 bid from Chris Garris,
Sioux Center, IA. Due in late July to Fever, her dam was
a 2E-90, EX-MS Outside daughter with 37,100 3.8 1408
3.1 1158, followed by five more VG & EX dams all over
1000f.
The sale was managed by The Cattle Exchange and
held at the Destiny-Road Holsteins Barn. Many of the
cattle stayed locally in PA, while several returned to
breeders throughout New York State.

We have had a lot of positive feedback regarding
our latest colored ad! One of the veterinarians
from the local vet clinic is a subscriber to the
News. In the Summer Issue, the color Jersey
caught his eye and he took a double take, read
our ad, and was amazed. So much so, he has
been telling a lot of people about the ad and our
farm and said he continues to glance back at the ad to read it
again! A number of people have also told us that other people have asked
them if they know us. It apparently caused quite a stir! Thank you AGAIN
for putting this ad together and the wonderful job you always do!!”

Empire Summer Holstein Blast
Premier Sale averages $12,575!
A new sale and venture on
the part of the New York Holstein
Association
and
The
Cattle
Exchange, the Empire Summer
Holstein Blast Sale held August 7
at the Seneca County Fairgrounds
in Waterloo featured a fantastic
array of high profile females from
every walk in Holstein life, from
high genomics to superior type
to deep cow families and premier
Red & Whites. The 53 full lots sold
realized the enviable average of
$12,575, with cattle taken not only
to the active bidders on hand, but
to 15 states and Ontario, including
22 head that stayed with New
Yorker’s. The brainchild of the
New York Holstein Association Sale
Committee, the event is yet another
prelude to the New York’s hosting
the National Convention in June of
2016.
First in the ring and getting the
sale off to a grand start was Ronbeth
Alexander Pearl, the All-New York
Senior 2-Year-Old in 2013 and due
shortly after the sale to Reginald.
Tall, long, and impressive as she
paraded in the ring, she was backed
by two EX-6E, CAN dams both
over 1000f, with the third dam an
EX Sheik with 214,823 4.5 9641.
Spirited bidding around the ring and
on the phone ended with Katherine
& Brian Oster and Kevin & Barb
Ziemba, Canastota & Durhamville,
NY placing the final bid. Selling
partners Craig Shedd, Mike Garrow,
& Jamie Black were all on hand
to see this potential show winner
attain her latest laurel.
Topping the event at $54,000
was lot number one, Ms Alphagen
Jetlady, an angular, May ’14 calf
ranked as the highest genomic
daughter of her sire, Coyne-Farms
Jetset-ET (Facebook x Freddie),
she carried a GTPI +2525 and
+981NM with a combined fat &
protein index of +171. Her dam, a
Mogul daughter just fresh with her
first calf and looking sensational,
is out of Larcrest Crimson-ET (2E92 GMD-DOM) with 43,390 5.3
2448 3.7 1708, then five more VG
& EX dams. Consigned by Syndicate
Alphagen, Cantley PQ, she “stayed
local,” heading to Mulligan Farms,
Inc., Avon, NY, with Oakfield
Corners Dairy, Oakfield, NY, the
contender.
Select Sires, Inc., Plain City, OH,
went to $43,000 to own SeagullBay Alexa Debi-ET, another May
’14 calf with great numbers. At
+2473 GTPI and +843NM, this
very early daughter of Aurora
Dictate-ET (Mixer x Garrett) was
out of Pine-Tree Dorcy Alexa IIET (VG-88-DOM), one of CoyneFarms Dorcy-ET’s most heavily
contracted daughters and the dam
of six progeny over +2400 GTPI.
The next nine dams were all VG &
EX in the Rilara Mars Las Ravena
(EX-91 GMD-DOM) family. SeagullBay Dairy, c/o Greg Andersen,
American Falls, ID, was the seller.
Seagull-Bay reinvested $31,000 to
own Genesee La-Bron Maggie-ET,
Mulligan Farms’ consignment sired
by Ladys-Manor Graf La-Bron-ET
(Grafeeti x Super). At +2429 GTPI,
the April ’14 calf was +119 points
over Parent Average and was backed
a recently-fresh Snowman dam from
the same cow family that produced
Gen-Mark Stmatic Sanchez.
In all, 23 head brought fivefigure prices. The Cattle Exchange
served as sale co-manager with the
New York Holstein Association,
with David Rama handling the
auctioneer’s gavel and Horace
Backus on pedigrees. Taking bids
from around the crowd and busy
throughout the evening on the
phone were other sale staffers
including Rick VerBeek, Daniel
Brandt, Don Welk, Jamie Black,
Nick Raggi, Jonathan Lamb, and
Patsy Gifford. The cattle were
beautifully prepared for the event
and presented in the ring by Emma
Currie, Jason Randall, and Sarah
McGarr.

Dairy Profit Team Funding Available
NY Farm Viability Institute (NYFVI), encourages dairy farmers to
apply now for $2500 grants to form dairy profit teams.
Ron Robbins, owner of North Harbor Dairy in Sackets Harbor
and a NYFVI board member said, “Right now, with milk prices
so good, is the time to think about improvements. You want to
maximize your yields, while continuing to manage your costs. The
right team of experts, all chosen by you, can help you see where the
opportunities are. Lining up your money now, while it’s available, is
a smart move.”
Robbins goes on to say, “I understand that taking that first step
can be challenging. It’s hard to step back from daily priorities and
share with others the big picture of your operations.”
Profit teams are a well proven concept in New York. The state’s
farmers have been using this approach, sometimes called advisory
teams. Successfully for the last 10 years.
NYFVI is honored to have been entrusted with a legislative
appropriation through the NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets
to help dairy farmers who haven’t used profit teams get started.
NYFVI Managing Director David Grusenmeyer added, “I hope
more farms will enroll and utilize the funds available to them. Over
the years I’ve seen such great results from this approach. In many
cases the work from these teams has literally saved a business. The
funds are directed solely by the farmer; some teams are improving
herd health, others are focused on milk quality. Some are even
working with financial advisors to develop succession plans. It all up
to the farmer to decide.
The simple one-page application for a Dairy Profit Team grant
can be found at www.nyfvi.org.

The Issue is Type
Breeders with high BAA’s from O-H-M and Schoharie Counties share
thoughts on the importance of type in their breeding program.
The list of high BAA herds on page 15 of this issue of
the News is evidence of the number of high type herds
in New York State. A good percentage of those herds
are located within the O-H-M and Schoharie County
Holstein Clubs and so we asked breeders within those
clubs about type, its role in their herd, their breeding
goals, and the challenges of maintaining a high BAA
herd. Each of the interviewees is part of a well-run,
hands-on family farm that takes great pride in its herd
of Registered Holsteins.
Participating in our discussion are:
David Gaige of Gaige Farms, Schoharie, NY, who,
with his wife Donna, was the 2011 New York Holstein
Active Master Breeder
Jason Pullis of Roedale Farm in Richfield Springs.
Jason and his brother Luke were the 2014 New York
Outstanding Young Breeders
Doug Wolfe of Ovaltop Holsteins in Richfield Springs,
who farms with his parents, Howard and Ginny, and
brother Michael, at their Master Breeder & 25-time PBR
herd.
Jim Canary, a partner at Canary Dairy LLC in St.
Johnsville, with his parents, Jim and Nancy. Jim is also a
nutritionist and spends 10-20 percent of his time working
with clients in addition to day-to-day involvement on
the home farm.
BAA’s for each herd:
Gaige: 109.6 on 45 cows
Roedale: 108.8 on 85 cows
Ovaltop: 110.1 on 78 cows
Canary: 111.1 45 cows
Gaige: Golden Dreams, Fever, Airlift, Lavanguard,
Shakespeare, and Sid
Roedale: Absolute-Red, Aftershock, Braxton, Damion,
Gold Chip, and Sid
Canary: Atwood, Aftershock, Gold Sun, Gold Star, &
Gold Chip are seeing the most use. On the secondary list
would be Sid, Defender, and Absolute-Red & BarbwireRed for Red & Whites.
Do you have minimum criteria for picking
bulls? (for example, +2.00 PDT, +DPR,
+components, etc.)
Gaige: We like to use bulls that are over +2.50T, and in
fact, most are over 3 points. We also try to use bulls that
are over +2.50UDC. We lean very heavily on “type” in
our bull selection. We like to use bulls that are reliable
and sire clean bone in the leg since we are a pasture
herd. We also want bulls that sire really good udders.
Pullis: We have no set criteria and we are pretty open to
different bulls. We like to use bulls that have a good cow
family behind them. We are not real quick to jump on
new bulls. But we also like to use something “different.”
For example, we are using the Acme son of Decrausaz
Iron O’Kalibra (EX-96), World Champion cow from
Europe.
Wolfe: We do not have any minimum criteria. We do
like to see daughters of bulls before we use them and
still go by the “seeing is believing” method.
What bulls are you currently using:
DAVID GAIGE
Wolfe: Destin *RC, Gold Chip, Combination Contrast,
Fever, Atwood, Golden Dreams, Barbwire-Red, MaxwellRed, & Advent-Red
JASON PULLIS
Canary: We are looking for bulls that are +3.00T unless
they are out of a tremendous cow family. We do look at
components and try to use bulls that are +fat % and
+protein % since these are highly heritable. We also
look at calving ease numbers for heifers and use sexed
semen on the heifers.
DOUG WOLFE
JIM CANARY
Do you look at the cow families behind the bull?
And if so, to what extent?
Gaige: We definitely look at the cow family behind a
bull. We enjoy our cow families here and working with
cattle that breed true and consistently.
Pullis: Yes, we look at the cow families behind bulls. We
like bulls that are out of great cows and strong maternal
lines.
Wolfe: We are looking at the cow families behind bulls
more so today than we have in the past. “One size
doesn’t necessarily fit all” and for what we are doing
here, we look at the maternal side as half the equation
in a mating. Cow families will always be very important
to us.
Canary: We do look at cow families behind bulls and we
try to use bulls from the best cow families in the world.
What bulls have worked for the best in your herd?
Gaige: Goldwyn, Shottle, and Durham have been great
bulls for us and they complemented each other in terms
of the kind of daughters they sired. We really like our
Fever and Lavanguard calves and heifers. Fever daughters
are very correct and there is a consistent pattern.
Pullis: In the last 10 years, Advent has been a tremendous
bull for us. We have had five Excellent Advent daughters,
all with over 30,000 milk. They have matured well and
made a lot of milk. We are still using him a bit and have
some young, VG 2-yr-olds.
Wolfe: For us, the best bulls have been Durham, Talent,
Advent, and Gibson. They have sired cows that have
matured well through the years. Our best young cows
today are sired by Advent, Atwood, and Picolo.
Canary: Shottle left several Excellent daughters here and
we have had three Excellent Silky Gibson-ET daughters.
Other bulls that have worked well include Durham and
Allen. Currently we have EX-91 3-year-olds by Atwood
and Aftershock. Our Gold Chip daughters are sharp and
really correct with very nice udders and clean bone.
Atlantic has also left a really good group of daughters
here.
What is the biggest challenge today in finding
bulls to incorporate into your breeding program?
Gaige: Finding bulls to use on Goldwyn bloodlines has
been a challenge. Pine-Tree Sid-ET has fit well for us.
Pullis: Simply finding “the right ones” to use. There are
so many bulls out there. The challenge is to find the one
that is going to work well and still be popular in terms
of merchandizing.
Wolfe: Trying to find an “outcross” bull that has
no Goldwyn or Durham blood. Our herd has strong
influences from both of these bulls.
Canary: My biggest issue in the next generation of bulls
is to find an outcross bull so we are not inbreeding our
cattle. That is why we have used Pine-Tree Sid-ET. On
Goldwyn bloodlines with no Shottle influence, we have
used Aftershock. We have also used Wabash-Way ExplodeET (Bolton x Shottle) on those bloodlines as well.
What progress in type have you seen in your
herd over the last say, 10 years?
Gaige: In the last 10 years, we have made tremendous
progress in our herd, and as a Breed, in terms of udders.
The udders today are just so much better. I do think
that we have lost some ground in terms of frames and I
would say our feet & legs are not as good as they were
10 years ago. Those traits are important to us and we are
using bulls to help maintain those great udders, frame
size, and put really good feet & legs on daughters.
Pullis: Our cows today – and our herd in general – are
much more uniform. We do not see the big “swing” in
terms of classification scores that we once did, where
we would have cows scored over 90 points and then
have a group that was in the 70’s. We have tried to cull
from that group and also avoided breeding cows that
we did not want to raise daughters from. When we had
our milking herd dispersal back in 2003, our BAA was
around 105%. Our BAA today continues to climb and
we are now at 108.8. Our cows today are bigger and
they have much better udders. We are making strides
with feet & legs and we are working hard at maintaining
better foot health.
Wolfe: Certainly the udders on our cows have gotten
a lot better. Our cows today are also bigger and have
larger frames. We have also seen that our cows are a
lot sharper and more angular than they were years ago,
with more dairyness. On the negative side, we are also
seeing more heel warts today than in the past, which is
a big concern since our cows are pastured at night. Cows
today also have a lot cleaner bone in their leg.
Canary: When we started classifying back in the 1990’s,
our BAA was 101 and we had six VG cows. We started
breeding for type and it took us 10 years to get our first
Excellent! We had two cows score EX on the same day
– Canary Diamond Durham and Canary Atley Bunny.
In the last 10 years, we have culled tighter and worked
to keep the better, younger cows. We have culled very
closely for feet & legs and udders. This has also helped
be able to sell breeding stock every year, usually about
12 heifers. We have also been part of export orders.
We always want to sell good ones to capitalize on our
investment, but we don’t want to sell the factory as well!
Given your facilities and management, what
kind of cow are you breeding for? What does
your “ideal” cow look like and what
challenges does that bring into sire selection?
Gaige: We are breeding for a cow that will score
Excellent by the time she is 4 or 5 years old. We want
cows that are functional and will last over several
lactations. They do not have to be huge. For our tie-stall
barn and pasture setting, we like cows that are medium
stature with outstanding udders and really, really good
feet & legs. We continue to “go heavily on the type side”
in terms of sire selection because of the kind of cows we
like to work with every day.
Pullis: We are not necessarily breeding for show cows,
though we like to show on the local level. We want that
functional kind of cow that is 58-60 inches tall. That size
cow works best in our older facility. We want cows with
great udders and correct feet & legs. Certainly a cow like
Roedale S Fantasia-ET (3E-95) would be our goal!
Wolfe: Our ideal cow has show ring appeal. We like to
show (locally, state, and national levels) and we like to
sell show cattle. For us, we are striving to breed a cow
is that is big, tall, long, and has a beautiful udder and
very correct feet & legs. When we built our barn in 1991,
we incorporated big stalls as well as a few box stalls
because of the kind of cows we want to breed and work
with every day. Our tie stalls are 5 feet wide or 4 ½ feet
for younger and smaller cows. We like cows that are 63
inches tall with good frames and udders that can make
a lot of milk.
Canary: Our ideal cow has a great udder and very
correct feet & legs. She has a deep, open rib that can eat
a lot of forage and convert that dry matter into milk! We
also want cows that last a long time. We like cows that
are about 60 inches tall and have found that we can get
cows with lots of stature, but if they do not have the feet
& legs and udders they will weed themselves out.
Canary Atley Bunny (3E-93) has been a great cow for
us in terms of type, production, and longevity. She has
373,000M to date and is 14 years old. If anybody had a
herd of cows like Bunny and her family in terms of type
and production, they would really have something!
Final Thoughts:
Gaige: We look to merchandize the kind of cattle that
people want. We have always tried to incorporate the
best bulls possible into our cow family herd. If the
blood’s there, it will show up some day!
Pullis: In breeding a great herd of cows, patience is key.
Unless you are going to spend a lot of money on cows, it
takes time and it takes generations. You have to have a
plan. Luke and I took over the breeding program in high
school and we wanted to improve the type within our
herd. We started using bulls like Starbuck and his sons
and we have worked to steadily improve over time.
Wolfe: In terms increasing type in a herd, it is important
to focus on breeding for good udders and correct feet
& legs. If you feed them, they will grow! As to buying
foundation breeding stock, “buy smart.” By that I mean,
you don’t have to buy “the cow of the day” that everyone
wants on sale day. Buy the cow that will be the best cow
in the long run. Try to buy off-age, deep pedigrees when
they are offered in sales. You don’t have to spend huge
money to buy into the Breed’s best families.
Canary: If you believe in it, stick to your guns and
breed for it! Sometimes it takes a long time … good
things take a while. Striving to breed for higher type can
be frustrating and it is going to be a process. But our
experience has been that our highest scored cows are
our highest producers, so we will continue to focus on
breeding for outstanding type and feed for production.
O-H-M Club News
By Ginny Wolfe
The summer of 2014 will be well remembered by
many in the O-H-M Club area, especially because of
Mother Nature’s “Unusual Happenings.” Being a threecounty club area, we get reports of all types of weather
conditions that continually hit one area or another. In
late June the West Winfield and Jordanville areas of
southern Herkimer County were hit with a tornado
leaving behind a path of fallen trees, damaged buildings
and folks without power for several days. Most recently
here the end of August the Montgomery County area
from Ft. Plain to Sprakers was hit with extreme amounts
of rain which caused a massive mud slide closing Route
5-S and some other major roads were closed from
flooding or wash-out conditions.
The club expresses since sympathy upon the death
of two of our long-time club members. Dick Keene of
Gilbertsville passed away the end of July. He is survived
by his wife, Shirley, and their five daughters and their
families. Michael Hudyncia of Hu-Hill Farm, Ft. Plain,
passed away in August. He is survived by his two sons
including Rob and his wife Shirley who had taken over
the operation at Hu-Hill Farm.
A favorite wintertime activity for many dairy youth
groups and families is participating in the annual Hoard’s
Dairyman dairy judging contest. Having judged all 5
classes via the cover photos on the Hoard’s magazine
the Brad and Carol Ainslie family entered under the
Family Division and were honored as Honorable Mention
winners.
Following a very successful O-H-M Club Holstein
Show on July 18th all the exhibitors and members
headed home to the usual farm chores. However as
Stan Korona and his sons of Amsterdam were doing
the evening milking their barn caught fire. Luckily they
were in the barn and able to get all but 5 cows out.
They also lost 20 heifer calves in the fire that quickly
destroyed their old barn. They were able to move their
herd to a nearby vacant barn fully equipped. Plans are
to rebuild with a freestall barn.
Jason Pullis, our club’s sale chairman, reports that
plans are well under way for another successful sale to
be held at their Roedale Farm on October 18th. Anyone
wishing to make consignments should contact Jason as
soon as possible. Doug Wolfe is chairing the Semen Sale
the evening before and reports many super consignments
as well as at least one semen tank. Looking forward to
seeing everyone out for the sales.
Wishing everyone a safe and successful harvest
season.
We’ve Moved!
But our passion for great cows & strong maternal lines continues!

RULES AND CONDITIONS
ELIGIBILITY: Any registered Holstein female, 87% or higher, bred by a member of the New York Holstein-Friesian Association (senior
or junior) that was born from September 1, 2013 through August 31, 2014 is eligible for the New York Holstein Futurity Number 40. On
first nominations an animal may have papers pending, however, on second nominations, registration numbers must be available.
FEES: 1st payment of $3.00 with nomination shall be paid by November 1, 2014. 2nd payment of $8.00 with nomination shall be paid
by November 1, 2015. 3rd payment of $10.00 shall be postmarked as instructed on the third nomination letter or 30 days prior
to the showing of the Futurity class.
NOMINATIONS: Any member, resident or not, in good standing of the New York Holstein Association may nominate any number of
eligible heifers. The second and third payments shall likewise be mailed and postmarked not later than the due dates.
PURSE: The purse in this event shall consist of all monies received by the New York Holstein Futurity as nomination fees, subsequent
payments or contributions, less the actual expenses incurred in its promotion and management. All Futurity monies shall be kept in a
separate Futurity fund and used only for Futurity purposes and shall be withdrawn only under bona fide signature of the treasurer of the
New York Futurity, with the approval of the Futurity Committee. The purse in this event will be divided among the top twenty placings
under the formula listed below. If less than 20 animals are shown, all monies shall be paid by dividing proportionately between all
exhibitors in FuTuRITY #40.
1st place winner............................20%
2nd place ......................................12%
3rd place........................................09%
4th place........................................08%
5th place........................................06%
Next 5 places........................04% each
Next 5 places........................03% each
Next 5 places........................02% each
REFUNDS: When nomination fees and subsequent payments in connection with the Futurity are received, they are committed to the
purse for this event and no refunds will be made, whether or not the animal is shown or its eligibility discontinued by the owner. In the
event, however, that any condition should arise which prevents the showing of the Futurity, the right is reserved to cancel same and
refunds made to persons owning females that have been nominated, their share of all monies accrued after the deduction of actual
expenses in the promotion of this Futurity.
MAINTAINING ELIGIBILITY: Eligibility after an animal has been nominated as a calf is maintained by making subsequent payments on
the due dates as specified heretofore. This responsibility rests solely with the owner, after being notified of re-entry dates, and failure to
make the next payment cancels eligibility and all previous fees become a part of the purse.
SALE OF THE ELIGIBLE ANIMALS: When an animal that is entered in the New York Holstein Futurity is sold, the eligibility may be
maintained by the new owner, and it shall be his/her responsibility to inform the Futurity Secretary of the change in ownership. The
seller shall inform the buyer that the animal purchased is already entered in the Futurity and it will be the responsibility of the buyer to
submit subsequent fees in accordance with the rules and closing dates.
MISCELLANEOUS: The New York Holstein-Friesian Association nor New York Show Committee is in no way responsible for the
condition of the premises in which the Futurity is held and is not liable in the event of accident or loss to persons or property. All matters
pertaining to the showing of the Futurity are subject to the rules, regulations and health requirements of the show at which the Futurity is
held. Registration papers must be available upon checking into the show ring.

Dick left us after 78 years of a long and wonderful life.
He was a leader, mentor, motivator, and teacher to so many.
His enthusiasm for the Holstein cow and dairy industry were
truly infectious. Always a man of fairness, honesty, and integrity,
Dick’s family, faith, and friends were the most important of all.
He will live in our hearts forever.
