The 12 Sires You Should Consider Breeding Your Show Winning Goldwyns To

Let’s face it there are two undeniable facts in the international show ring;  One, that Goldwyn has the most show winning daughters over the past ten years,  And two, that if you have been using Goldwyn you were pretty much breeding for a unique show type animal.  But the questions becomes what do you breed you current Goldwyn’s to in order to breed the next generation of show winners.  With this challenge in mind the Bullvine took a closer look.

High Type Sires – Non Goldwyn

Finding a high type sire that does not have Goldwyn in it’s pedigree is like finding a needle dropped in the straw pack.  But here are four options to consider:

552HO02460Millennium

552HO02460
Mr Donalynn Millennium-ET   TY
McCutchen x Hero x Outside

Sire: De-Su Bkm McCutchen 1174-ET TV TL TY TD
Dam: Ronelee Hero Donalynn-ET VG-86
MGS: Siemers Toys Hero 9701-ET TR TV TL TY TD
MGD: Ronelee Outside Dabble-ET TV TL EX-91 2E GMD DOM
05-03 3x 365d 44530m 3.6 1612f 2.9 1313p
MGGS: Comestar Outside-ET TV TL EX-95
MGGD: Ronelee Rudolph Dimple EX-93 2E DOM
05-08 3x 365d 45920m 3.7 1713f 2.9 1341p

Millennium works out to be an excellent cross on Goldwyn’s.  The resulting progeny should certainly have great udders and legs. I almost worry that they will be too shallow uddered as young cows.  Millennium has the heel depth, chest width and pin width that some Goldwyn’s need. And most Goldwyn’s have the pin setting and front teat placement you need to protect Millennium on.

MGS: Scientific Destry-ET RC TV TL TY VG-88
MGD: Sunnylodge M B Leona
MGGS: Dudoc Mr Burns RC TV TL TY VG-85
MGGD: Misty Springs SS Leona

Leverage’s dam was a show winning heifer and cow for Westcoast Holsteins winning Reserve Intermediate Champion at the 2012 Red & White Show at World Dairy Expo.  And his sire Absolute has been leaving some pretty impressive daughters, so this is a cross that should work from many different angles. Leverage-Red indeed offers the chest width and pin width needed by Goldwyn’s.  I typically recommend this cross on deeper bodied Goldwyn’s as Leverage-Red is not an improver for body depth. This cross also needs to be protected on the rear teat placement.

286HO00102Avalanche*CV*RC

286HO00102
Dymentholm MR Apples Avalanche CV  RC TY
McCutchen x Regiment-RED x Durham

Sire: De-Su Bkm McCutchen 1174-ET TV TL TY TD
Dam: KHW Regment Apple C-Red-ETN CV VG-89
03-07 2x 365d 36949m 4.2 1554f 3.6 1332p
MGS: Carrousel Regiment-RED-ET TV TL
MGD: Kamps-Hollow Altitude-ET RC CV TL EX-95 2E DOM
07-00 2x 365d 39690m 4.7 1849f 3.3 1310p
MGGS: Regancrest Elton Durham-ET TR CV TL EX-90
MGGD: Clover-Mist Alisha-ET RC EX-93 3E DOM
08-07 2x 365d 36920m 4.2 1553f 3.2 1188p

Avalanche is from the VG-89 max score clone to KHW Regiment Apple EX-95 3E DOM 3* the Grand Champion R&W World Dairy Expo 2011 and certainly the most impactful red cow in the world today.  Avalanche has a +22 Conformation DGV in Canada. Avelanche on Goldwyn is an extremely impressive cross and should result in outstanding mammary systems and feet and legs.  The udder texture from this cross should be among the best there is and there should be enough chest width from McCutchen to help with what some Goldwyn’s need.  Though I would protect this cross on its body depth.

200HO10363High Octane

200HO10363
Stantons High Octane   TY
McCutchen x Observer x Shottle

Sire: De-Su Bkm McCutchen 1174-ET TV TL TY TD
Dam: MS Chassity Obs Claire-ET VG-87
01-10 3x 365d 43546m 3.7 1625f 2.9 1263p
MGS: De-Su Observer-ET TR TV TL TY TD VG-86
MGD: Regancrest S Chassity-ET TL TY EX-92 GMD DOM
03-10 2x 365d 42280m 4.3 1798f 2.5 1070p
MGGS: Picston Shottle-ET TV TL TY EX-95
MGGD: Regancrest Cinderella EX-92 GMD DOM
05-00 2x 365d 34220m 4.1 1418f 2.9 1009p

If you are looking for high genomic type and want no Goldwyn in the pedigree, you are pretty much limited to McCutchen sons.  One that also combines some production with his high type values is High Octane.  While he does have a double shot of Planet and Shottle in his pedigree, he goes back to the impressive REGANCREST CINDERELLA EX-92-2E-USA DOM GMD 6 and then the great REGANCREST-PR BARBIE-ET EX-92-7YR-USA GOM GMD 6*.  High Octane on Goldwyn is certainly a cross that should result in amazing shallow uddered young cows.  High Octane works excellent on most Goldwyn since he has the depth of heel, chest width, and pin width needed.  While Goldwyn should have the pin setting and set of rear legs needed to protect High Octane.  The one area I would be cautionary on is the body depth.

Corrective Mating

If you are looking for what sires are the best corrective mating cross on the typical Goldwyn here are four sires that should do the trick.

200HO10147Sochi

200HO10147

MGGD: Willsona Freelance Sizzle-ET VG-86
02-02 2x 335d 25490m 3.9 1003f 3.1 789p

When inbreeding works, it is called line breeding.  Such is the case from the two great show cows that are line bred to the legendary Adeen, BVK Atwood Abrianna EX-92-USA 3yr and BVK Arianna VG-89-USA 2yr. In this case, Goldwyn would appear in the pedigree three different times (Goldwyn is the GGS of Sochi, sire of Lauthority, who is the sire of Elaborate, as well as he is the MGS of Sochi’s dam, sire of Lavanguard).  But it is a cross that just works. Sochi has the dairy strength, heal depth that most Goldwyn’s need and Goldwyn has the bone quality and set of rear legs that you need to protect Sochi on.

054HO00553Rainy-RC

054HO00553

Sire: Gen-Mark Stmatic Sanchez TR TV TL TY TD

08-00 3x 365d 37970m 3.9 1484f 3.2 1226p
MGGS: Comestar Outside-ET TV TL EX-95

There is no question that Rainy’s dam, Rainyridge Talent Barbara RC EX-95 may be one of the most popular non-Goldwyn show cows from North America in recent years. Much like Westcoast Leverage mentioned above Rainy-RC certainly has a lot of Storm blood in his pedigree.  Rainy-RC should add the height at the front end, chest width, body depth and pin width that most Goldwyn’s need and Goldwyn would help the bone quality and legs that Rainy-RC needs to be protected on.

MGGD: Pine-Tree Martha Sheen-ET VG-86 DOM
01-11 3x 365d 31210m 4.2 1305f 3.1 968p

If you are looking for high, wide rear udders, a must have in the show ring today, then you best take a look at Showcase.  While his family is best known for producing commercial supers stars like Supersire, Silver and Headliner,  Showcase’s pedigree takes a little more of a show approach, being a Let It Snow from a Windbrook. Showcase will also help the chest width, body depth and pin width while Goldwyn should provide the bone quality and teat placement needed when considering Showcase.

MGD: Louiselle Allen Eve
MGGS: Canyon-Breeze Allen-ET TV VG-85-6YR-CAN

With a sire stack that just oozes strength and power, it’s no wonder that Equation can help solve the “what to breed your Goldwyn’s to” problem.  While this cross is certainly not meant to produce production award winners, it certainly should produce show winners.  Equation is the perfect solution for the chest width and body depth issues as well as pin width, it also should result in extremely angular progeny.

Show Me Winners Not Numbers

Of course, there are those tanbark enthusiasts that prefer to see success in the ring before they use a sire.  For those breeders we offer the following sires:

094HO10276Dundee

094HO10276

MGGD: Snow-N Ellas Dory GP-81
3-11 2x 305d 21230m 3.8 804f 3.2 681p

If Goldwyn from Dundee is the magic cross that produced the most winning cows at the US National Shows last year, and Atwood (a Goldwyn son on the high type MS KINGSTEAD CHIEF ADEEN VG-87-2YR-CAN EX-94-2E-USA DOM 8* family) was tied for 4th among the cow crosses, then why not go and flip the equation and use Dundee on your Goldwyns.  It shouldn’t be a surprise that this cross has worked so well over the years; Dundee brings the chest width, body depth and height at front end that is needed in the show ring, as well as outstanding rear udder height while Goldwyn provides the leg improvement, thurl placement and udder texture.

Certainly proving that he can get the job done, eight Braxton x Goldwyn heifers were winners at that US National Shows in 2014.  Building on that is the recent Autumn Opportunity winner, Trekili W A Lola Braxton, who has developed significantly since her fifth-place finish in the milking yearling class at Expo this year.  This cross should deliver the heel depth and the chest width and body depth required for show. The challenge will be getting a high enough rear udder with enough seem.

While we waited years for a Goldwyn son to take the crown from Goldwyn as Premier Sire at World Dairy Expo, in the end it was not a Goldwyn son that did it, but rather Sid.  (Read more: Why Braedale Goldwyn Wasn’t a Great Sire of Sons). While there is no question that this cross should produce outstanding udder texture, fore attachments, size and angularity, the trick to this cross is getting a decent foot angle as well as thurl placement.   With many of the best Sid x Goldwyn crosses out there, this is certainly a sire stack trend we are likely to see in the showing.

For those line breeding enthusiasts, I recommend Dempsey.  For years, breeders have speculated about using Atwood on Goldwyn. However, I say you would be better to use Dempsey.  As the great Roy Ormston has always said, line breeding works best when you know the families extremely well and use one line of the family that excels in one area on another line of the family that is weak in those areas. All the time is maintaining the strengths of the family.  For me, that would lend itself to Dempsey on Goldwyn’s ahead of Atwood.  Dempsey’s chest width, body depth and pin width are a better compliment to Goldwyn’s typical daughter than Atwood would be.

The Bullvine Bottom Line

While Goldwyn has certainly proven himself as a dominant show sire, the question now becomes, what do you breed these great Goldwyn daughters to.  These 12 sires indeed offer the greatest chance of breeding the next big time show winners.

16 Sires That Will Help Limit Inbreeding – October 2015

Genetic diversity is a critical problem in the Holstein dairy cattle breeding industry.  On the one hand, the rate of genetic gain has accelerated but also has the rate of inbreeding.  With $23 lifetime cost per percent inbreeding, it is easy to overreact and try to avoid inbreeding at all costs. The trick is not to use sires that are inferior, but rather to have a balance of genetic improvement and enough of an outcross not to accelerate the inbreeding.   These 16 sires will do just that and help control the rate of inbreeding in your herd.

Overall Improvement Sires

When it comes to the top overall sires, Robust, Man-O-Man and Shottle are very well represented.  Here are three sires that are among the top bulls, but will help limit the inbreeding in your herd.

007HO12165MONTROSS

If you are looking for a high genomic sire that offers overall improvement and is still an outcross, Montross will fit the bill.  For some, considering a Mogul son is a challenge. But you need to look deeper at Montross. his Genomic Future Inbreeding values at6.9% GFI are much lower than all the other top Balanced Sires and especially compared to the top active sire over a year of age, and active, Jedi, who is a +8.0 for GFI. Montross’s dam, UNIQUE-STYLE BOLTON MONEY EX-91 DOM, has certainly become a popular bull mother, with 15 sons at five different AI units. Montross is a high milk sire, +2412 lbs Milk, with strong protein improvement, +66 lbs protein, and is a very solid 2.47 for PTAT. There is no question that MONTROSS will offer an excellent production kick and have enough durability, health and fertility to last. At over two points for UDC and FLC, MONTROSS has strong functional type but should be protected for straightness of rear legs and overall frame and capacity traits. However, as we have seen from research in the past, you don’t need extreme frame traits to achieve extreme lifetime production. (Read more: She Ain’t Pretty – She Just Milks That Way!).  Montross is certainly going to be a very impactful sire, especially through his sons.

While most progressive breeders who are looking for an outcross genomic sire to use, would have probably already gone heavy on Mogul. However, breeders waiting to use only proven sires should indeed add Mogul to their lists now.  This Dorcy son gets a substantial contribution to his genetics from his sire.  As one of the first ART program bulls from Select Sires, it will be interesting to see how well Mogul does as a proven sire.  (Read more: Select Sires vs. Semex – A Contrast in Cooperatives).  Mogul is one of the all-around solid sires that has solid numbers in all aspects of his evaluation. Hence, his popularity as a sire of sons and bull mothers. You will need to watch the SCS score as well as the DPR when using Mogul.

For those looking to go a little further along the path, there is AltaCasual.  This polled red carrier Supersire son certainly has lots to offer. Even though you may not think of Supersire as an outcross sire, the maternal side of AltaCasual’s pedigree certainly brings the outcross.  Altacasual traces back to the great red show cow Continental Scarlet-Red (3E-95 GMD) who was Grand Champion of the ‘82 Royal.  AltaCasual has some impressive numbers.  With over +1700 of Milk, +110 lbs of combined Fat and Protein, and over a point on all composite type traits.  You will certainly need to protect him on his undesirable set, somewhat straight and toeing out slightly, to his rear legs as well as his overall body depth, but as we have learned, these traits don’t always connect to longevity. (Read more: She Ain’t Pretty – She Just Milks That Way!).

Production Improvement Sires

If you are a dairy farmer, you are in the milk business.  That business begins and ends with how much milk you produce.  Here are three sires that can certainly help you increase your overall production while limiting your inbreeding.

From the Roylane Shot Mindy 2079 family comes Jett from the ART program at Select Sires. (Read more: Should A.I. Companies Own Females?)  Jet’s dam S-S-I Suprsire Miri 8679 has already produced five sons over 2700 TPI.  It’s pretty hard to find a top production sire that does not have Supersire or Robust in the pedigree, but at least in Jett’s case, it is one generation back with the outcross overall improvement sire Montross as his sire.  At +828 NM$, +2117 PTAM, +66 lbs PTAP, Jett will certainly give a strong production increase. Combine that with over 2 points on type and solid composites and Jett will certainly be an impact sire.  As well, I wonder if he will be a sire of sons, based on the high percentage of his genomic values that come from his maternal line.  This is a trend, which impact sires of sons typically get a more significant contribution of their genetics from the paternal line than their maternal line, has indeed proven to indicate top sires of sons.

If you are looking for a proven sire that is a little different and offers a production shot, consider Facebook.  Contrary to the productivity killer Facebook.com, this sire provides significant production improvement.  With over +1200 lbs of Milk and 132 lbs of combined Fat and Protein, Facebook will give you the production punch that you need. Facebook daughters are tall and dairy with adequate strength and body depth.  He will need to be protected on pins, as his genomic test, sire stack and daughter information all confirm his high pins.

If a slight walk off of the beaten path is not enough, then let’s talk a full road trip with Apoll P.  His sire stack is not common at all, Aikman x Lawn Boy.  In most cases, you are not going to find too many top production sires with this stack.  Especially if you want to find something to mate your high production Supersires to.  Apoll P is polled and is a brother to AltaCausual, again tracing back to the great red show cow Continental Scarlet-Red (3E-95 GMD), who was Grand Champion of the ‘82 Royal.  At almost 2000 lbs of Milk and over 100 lbs of combined fat and protein, Apoll P is a non Supersire production blast.  While his daughters will not wow you with their overall frames and chest width, they will have outstanding udders and sound feet and legs.

While he is not a Greek hero, Co-Op Achilles is certainly going to be a hero to breeders looking to achieve greater longevity.  At +10.9 for a productive life, Achilles is the breed leader.  Also, you can add to that the fact that he is an outcross to virtually all of the top pedigrees.   His Achilles heel is his components.  At -.1% fat and -.04% protein, he will need to be protected there.  He does offer sound production improvement at +1274 and strong feet and legs and mammary system improvement.  For those looking to breed VG-2YR olds, you will want to protect him on his body depth and angularity.  But for those who are just wanting cattle that last a lifetime, his outstanding legs and udders will get the job done.  It is interesting to note, for those looking to breed the next great outlier sire, that Achilles is a sire that should offer the right combination to achieve this goal.

You can’t go wrong with Wright.  And you can’t go wrong using a plus proven sire with 90% reliability.  Wright is a Freddie son from a Wizard daughter of Wesswood-HC Rudy Missy herself.  His below average -0.16 PTAT might have you thinking they will not last, but daughter evaluation for a productive life of +9.1 certainly tells a different story. (Read more: She Ain’t Pretty – She Just Milks That Way!)  What he does have is decent production numbers and strong udders with high fertility – thus producing the modern dairy cow.  Areas to protect him on are his depth and angularity, as well as his overall production.

MGGD: Lund-Lane-Rh Mngr Jeni-ET GP-83

It’s hard not to get jacked on Jax.  This high ranking polled sire is also a red carrier and has phenomenal health traits and extremely low SCS.  No wonder he has a +8.2 Productive Life score.  He does this with a unique sire stack (Supersire x Colt P-Red x Lawn Boy P-Red x Manager x Finley x Aaron). JAX P was bred by Dan and Angie Reider of Monroe, Wisconsin, where they milk more than 100 Holstein, Red & Whites and Brown Swiss cows that average close to 90 pounds per day. Jax P’s dam, Jazzmin, and granddam, Jazzy, can be found in the herd today and have been productive, hard-working and trouble-free cows for the Reiders. Dangie Colt P Jazzmin Red PO calved in at one year nine months with a set of twin bull calves – one being Jax P. Although being stressed by having twins and being young at calving, she completed a record more than 20,000 pounds of milk and bred right back. Jazzmin P Red is a homozygous polled daughter of Sandy Valley Colt P Red-TW.  Expect Jax P to offer reliable production improvement to go with his excellent durability.  He also offers great health and fertility improvement (+2.5 DPR, +2.67 SCS).  Jax daughters will not be tall, and certainly not overly framey, but will be great in commercial milk production environments.

 

Health and Fertility

While there is no question that every breeder knows that more pregnancies equal more profits, many of the top TPI ranking sires have negative values for critical health and fertility traits.   In addition to Wright, mentioned above, here are three sires that can certainly help you buck that the trend of not being able to combine production, type as well as health and fertility.

From the Co-Op program at Genex, Testarossa is bred to be a little different.  And different he is.  Testarossa is a Jabir from a Day now that is an outcross.    Testarossa has an outstanding +6.2 DPR, +4.2 HCR, and a +7.7 CCR. Combine that with an SCS score of +2.67 and he is certainly a health and fertility specialist.  Testorossa does offer decent production improvement (+1249 Milk, +43 Fat +40 Protein) and sound conformation numbers and outstanding productive life (+8.3).  Expect Testarossa to sire excellent mammary system improvement and sound legs, but he will need to be protected on angularity and rump angle.

Not known for following the herd, Rosylane Holsteins has certainly looked at things a little differently.  (Read more: ROSY-LANE HOLSTEINS – “DON’T FOLLOW THE HERD!”)  A great example of that is the outcross sire AltaStewart, who is a Superstition from a Ramos dam.   He has excellent sire fertility (+5.5 DPR) and favorable calving ease (+5.6 CE).  He is also a breed outlier for Productive Life +7.9.  He will need to be protected on his overall production, as well as rump angle.

From the very popular Gen-I-Beq Goldwyn Secret *RC VG-87-CAN 2yr. 6* family, Solate is something a little different.  He is a GenerVations Latimer from the high index red cow Capnation Sosecret P Colt *RC *P GP-FR 2yr.  His sister DG Dyment Earnsecret *PP is believed to be the #1 HOMOZYGOUS POLLED heifer in Europe (12/14).  Solate is a significant health and fertility improver (+3.9 DPR and SCS of +2.71).  He is also a favorable calving ease sire +6.2 SCE and +4.3 DCE.  He will certainly need to be protected on his overall production as well as his body depth and angularity.  But for those looking for an outcross sire that gives a strong kick of health and fertility, Solate is a polled sire that will do just that.

  • OCTOBERFEST

    Mr Mogul Denver 1426-ET TY
    Mogul x Robust x Planet
    While his sire stack would say that he is not an outcross, he has a EFI (Expected Future Inbreeding) of +6.4% and a GFI (Genomic Future Inbreeding) of +6.8%.  Both very low values among the top available sires.
  • BOBBY
    097HO41367
    Pen-Col Ss Bobby-ET TY
    Supersire x Grafeeti x Super
    Yes he is a Supersire and there are a lot of Supersire sons, but his maternal line if very much an outcross.
  • HEISENBERG
    007HO12569
    Ocd Jabir Heisenberg-ET
    Jabir x Moonboy x Hero
    Certainly a sire stack you are not going to see every day, especially at the top of the TPI lists.  With a gTPI of +2657 he is certainly a sire to take note of considering he is well above he parent average and an extreme outlier.

The Bullvine Bottom Line

The trick is not to eliminate inbreeding but rather manage it and account for it when you make your breeding decisions.  These 16 sires will allow you to do just that.

You’ve got to Learn How to Pick Your Dairy Battles

As a sister, mother and grandmother, I am well-aware of the battles that can arise between siblings.  On the one hand, this frustrates me because I think it’s inherently a great thing to have a ready-made playgroup, captive audience or blood-is-thicker-than-water defender.  On the contrary, I don’t care who “started it” because I enjoy a good fight that moves things forward. Having said that, I hate arguments that are solely for the sake of a power trip by an individual or a group. To me, they are a complete waste of time! Furthermore, I don’t limit my position on proper fighting to family only.  I think a good fight is even more important in the business world.

How does the dairy industry deal with fighting?

Dairying is by its nature competitive in many ways.  We compete for genetics. We compete for sales. We compete for recognition. This can naturally expose us to many contentious issues. There is nothing wrong with that.  In fact, when two or more co-workers or competitors recognize a problem and have differing viewpoints, it sets up the potential for a solution that could end up being better for everyone. However when anyone puts their own interests above the dairy operation or the association or business they represent, fighting erupts and becomes counterproductive in every sense of the word.

How NOT to pick a GOOD fight

If we are looking for examples of how not to pick a good fight, we can all point to dairy industry operations or family farms, competitors or dairy suppliers, who are so single-mindedly focused on putting down their competition that they end up shooting themselves in the foot. When it’s all about, “Me. My job.  My people. Pay me”, it closes the door to sharing of progressive ideas that keep the industry as a whole relevant.

Agreement Masks Problems

We think we like it when everyone appears to agree. It might seem to be working when everyone is chummy all the time. After all, harmonious agreeable teamwork is a dream we would all like to live with on a daily basis.  However, there is a danger of becoming too agreeable and too loyal.  It backfires when people are content to follow even when they have concerns about the final destination. When harmony is the over-riding goal, signals of impending trouble will not be acknowledged.  Nobody wants to be the whistle-blower, drama queen or lone wolf. Everyone is afraid to point out the elephant in the room.

Beyond Contented Cows

A peaceful, harmonious milking line is the dream workplace for productive cows.  However, it can be the worst thing in the world for a progressive dairy business. While we want contented cows, complacency in other areas of our dairy business becomes one of the first indicators of trouble ahead. For example, why is it that we continually say the dairy industry is healthy when farms passing to the next generation are steadily declining? Or — Why is it so hard to find a pool of labor for agriculture? Maintaining a façade of harmony can become a mask for behind-the-scenes problems.  Essential work is overlooked because nobody wants to rock the boat.  Those who try to “fix” everything to maintain the outward look of teamwork, eventually burn out, as they become dissatisfied with the lost potential. Too much harmony doesn’t work.  Friction and in-fighting don’t work. It’s a fine line, and it’s one that is too important to be ignored.

How do you pick your battles?

There are ways to determine if you are picking the right fight.  First and foremost you must be fighting to gain value.  There are three value propositions that are worth fighting for:

  1. Saving 15% a year. This could be 15% of your resources.  It could be 15% of your time.
  2. Adding 10%. Will the change you’re fighting for allow you to charge more?
  3. Faster growth. The fight is a good one if it enables you to grow sales or market share faster than the current market.

If you answered “Yes!” to one of the above three questions, your battle passes the value test.  If all three answers are “No!” you need to reassess either your business plan or your action plan — perhaps both!

Are you ready to FIGHT for a change?

Change is a hard concept for everyone to get their heads around.  There used to be an advertisement showing a black-eyed smoker who said, “I’d rather fight than switch!” This has so many issues, but most of them are better addressed another day.  Today the key to knowing whether it’s better to fight can be solved with another 3 point checklist.

Will the change you’re fighting for

  1. Require the team, farm, board or business to work in a way that is fundamentally different than the current process?
  2. Will the change require new training, different perspectives or specialized knowledge that is not being used currently?
  3. Change always turns on communication. Will the proposed change require a different real-time information flow between various parts of the dairy operation, team or advisors than the way information is managed now?

You have picked the right fight if you answered “Yes!” at least once.  If all three questions earned a “No!” response, then you are ready for a task force, not a fight.

Turning pain into gain builds dairy strength

We all know that, if there is a fight, not everyone will win.  Winners and losers must both find the way to move on. Not all ideas are good ideas. Not all strategies work. Communicating the outcome to the ones whose position lost can be hard. How it is handled can damage relationships and affect the milking line, the board meeting or the management team. Good leaders find a way to turn disappointing news into an occasion for personal development.

Fighting the right fight is a discipline, not an event.

When one fight ends, the best leaders will be looking for the next fight. That’s not to say that the workplace should be an environment of constant turmoil. Progressive dairy managers know when to give people rest. But they continually seek ways to push people to the point where they find their energy and enthusiasm to seek the next way to move forward.

The Bullvine Bottom Line

Always remember that in order to make dairy progress, “It’s not important whether you win or lose. Its how you fight to get it right that makes all the difference!

The End of Immigrant Labor Could Mean The End of One-In-Six Dairy Farms

From farmgate to retail shelves there are numerous interconnected factors that are required to function properly together to produce the milk that eventually makes it into our homes.

Immigrant Labor could trigger a chain reaction

Like many other important steps in dairy production, labor is one piece that, if affected, has a corresponding impact on all the other pieces. There are concerns ranging from sourcing dairy labour from immigrants to documentation, to wages to political implications. A major concern relates to what would happen if immigrant labor was completely taken away. An updated survey called for by the National Milk Producers Federation and produced by Texas AgriLife Research at Texas A&M University,  predicts serious repercussions if there was to be a loss of immigrant labor on American dairy farms.

Report Findings (Year)

The report shows that of the 150,418 employees working on U.S. dairy farms in 2013, 51 percent of them, or 76,968, were immigrants.  The conclusion drawn by researchers is that losing these workers would double retail milk prices at a total cost to the U.S.  of more than $32 billion dollars. The report suggests that loss of immigrant labour would raise the price of a gallon of milk which sold for $3.37 in June to a whopping $6.40. On top of this — at the other end of the chain … it could also cause the loss of one-in-six dairy farms. (Read more: Losing Immigrant Workers on Dairy Farms Would Nearly Double Retail Milk Prices)

Rising Numbers of Immigrant Labor

Since an original survey of immigrant labor was done in 2009, there has been significant changes in the numbers of immigrants working on dairy farms.  The updated survey shows an increase of 20,000 immigrant workers (35%) in the intervening six years and 27% more of the milk supply coming from farms with immigrant labor.

Beyond the basic statistics, there is concern over documented and undocumented foreign-born workers.

Eighty percent of those who responded to the survey have concerns about immigration raids or unemployment audits due to their lack of confidence in immigrant worker’s employment documents.

Misconceptions about Immigrant Labor

Some believe that immigrants take jobs away from Americans.  According to NMPF’s board chairperson and Missouri dairy farmer Randy Mooney, this is simply not true.  He explains that the average hourly wages offered are  $11.54 and thus are well above the minimum wage of $7.25. Nevertheless even with the three plus dollar increased wage, dairy farmers have been unsuccessful in getting Americans to do these jobs.

The Domino Effect of Failure to Act On Immigration Reform

Not having a reliable, current labor force means an inability to ensure an effective future workforce. Likewise, researchers explain that milk sales also support many more jobs beyond the farm than on the farm. In Canada, the phrase “Milkle-Down Affect” (http://www.milkledowneffect.ca/ ) has been coined to raise discussion on how dairying affects not only the local community but has much wider impacts.  The immediate loss would be from the fact that there would be 76,968 fewer people working on dairy farms. A total loss of immigrant labor on dairy farms would also mean the loss of jobs outside the farm. What is often overlooked is the loss of jobs related to dairying. Those kinds of jobs add up to a loss totaling 131,240 jobs. Almost 200,000 jobs and the numbers keep mounting!

There would also be repercussions beyond the obviously reduced farm milk sales. Losses would be incurred because of the reduced purchasing power, not only of dairy farms but now from the unemployed workers. As well, the lost sales would extend beyond the farm to businesses that support dairy farms, such as feed and equipment dealer, veterinarians, and feed suppliers. . In the bigger dairy picture, there would be an estimated loss of 25% of the national dairy herd and national milk production.  More than 7,000 farms would close

Immigrant Labor is a Hot-Button Election Issue

Discerning observers of the dairy industry feel that Congress urgently needs to address this issue.  Comprehensive immigration reform is necessary for dairy operations to adequately meet their labor requirements. Jim Mulhern, who is the NMPF President and Chief Executive Officer, points out, “Farms that rely on hired foreign workers need their current labor force as well as an effective program to ensure an adequate future workforce.” He warns that the dangers don’t stop at a reduced workforce. “The lack of a reliable source of workers is causing farmers to second-guess decisions to expand,” he said. “That’s economic activity that’s lost to both rural and urban communities — all because Washington won’t act on immigration reform.”

A Catch 22 Situation

This is definitely a problem that needs to be faced with proper action.  It would be wrong, however, if the action taken had negative repercussions for every stakeholder involved.

  1. Dairy farmers need a labor pool to draw upon.
  2. Current immigrant workers rely on the income they are earning.
  3. American workers need to be encouraged to work in agriculture.
  4. Dairy consumers have the right to reasonably priced access to healthy milk products.
  5. It seems that we are coming pretty close to throwing out the baby with the bathwater. The simple solution of throwing out immigrant labor could mean the end of one-in-six dairy farms.

Solving labor problems needs a multi-pronged approach if the solution is going to be effective.

The Bullvine Bottom Line

Sometimes we become complacent in North America because we don’t appear to have the challenges that our dairy peers in the UK and Europe have (see “Cheap Milk Flooding the Grocery Aisles”).  However, while the root causes of disruption may differ, the result could be the same – an irreparably damaged dairy industry.

THE LEADERSHIP SHORT LIST: WHAT is it? Who’s On it NOW? Do we NEED It?

We all recognize leaders when they are at the head of the line … but are we astute enough to pick them out when they are among the pack. Who is on your leadership short list?

What is the Short List?

Every group, industry or sport has a short list of people who stand above the rest. Who do you instantly think of when you hear the words baseball, money or politics?  Does it work when you think of dairy industry leaders?

Imagine that you’re sitting around the table discussing an upcoming sale or show booth design. “Maybe we can get Bonnie Mohr to design it?” Or you need an upcoming ad campaign for your selling your heifers, cows or embryos.  “Maybe Michael Heath or Charlie Will could give us an endorsement…” or if you’re having a downsizing sale, “Wouldn’t it be great if Norm Nabholz was reading the pedigrees and Brian Craswell calling the auction?”  Do you see the trend here? The shortlist are those folks who are recognized as industry “household names.” They’re known for excelling in their field. When you think about today’s dairy industry, who would you put on the shortlist of people who have that kind of recognition in their area of expertise? Who are the people who have achieved excellence and are setting an active example for the rest of us? ALL the time?

Let’s Identify Short List Leadership Characteristics

What do stubborn and trustworthy have in common, if anything?  They are two characteristics that put exceptional people on the S.H.O.R.T list of dairy leaders. Let’s look at the top five characteristics: 1. Stubborn 2. Humble 3. One-of-a-Kind 4. Resilient 5. Trustworthy.

STUBBORN:

Leaders are selectively stubborn.  There’s a difference between stubbornly moving … and stubbornly stopped! Leaders are stubborn about maintaining a sustainable level of improvement.

Lots of us are good at something.  Fewer of us are the very best at anything.  Leaders stubbornly work to continually improve the level that they perform at. For the rest of us, I think it’s a crime that we all stop short.  We never test how good we could have been. We GO BUST before we allow ourselves Reach BEST.  Getting to the shortlist is like your favorite cows in the milk line … it takes persistence.  Not only do they have the genetics but they have the will.  Not only do they have the potential but they show up and produce.

Only the persistent manage to achieve and maintain leadership.  It’s a daily job that requires working in the right-place-in-the right way day after day for a very long time. It takes the stubborn will to meet and outlast the challenges — not for just one year — but for a decade or three. Those who are running from confrontation or fearfully seeking the widespread consensus will forever find themselves detouring around progress. Valued leaders accept the harder road and stubbornly work through problems to the solutions.

HUMBLE

We don’t often associate leadership with humility. Often those who tell us they are leading … are merely emphasizing the size of their egos, not the distance they can take us toward the future.  Of course, recognized leaders are especially good at something but they are also exceptionally good at seeing what is great in those around them.  They aren’t threatened by others strengths … Nor do they seek to steal other’s work and claim it as their own.  True leadership recognizes everybody’s short list of strengths.  Whether it’s bringing out the best in cows, facilities, processes, employees or organizations, real leaders do so by example and work to raise everyone up to a better standard.  They lead by example and have very little concern for the title or badge.  Too often we experience the complete lack of results produced by those who want the badge before they’ve done the work.  Instead of seeking the number one solution, they are only interested in themselves being #1.

ONE OF A KIND:

Being “the same as everyone else” is NOT a short list trait. Take the daily very good and lift it to remarkable. They stand up, and they stand out.  They encourage others not to be the same as everyone else… or even anyone else.  Be better.   Dr. Seuss is right. “Why fit in, will fall when you were born to stand out?” You can’t walk where the crowd is and make the short list.  Regardless of how you measure ‘best’, it is almost never present in the thing that is the most popular.

One of the things wrong with today’s marketplace is that there is far too much rehashing of old ideas spun as new.  Great leaders aren’t copycats.  They abhor me too!  Leaders have no patience for the status quo.  They focus their efforts on shattering the status quo.  Game changers refuse to allow their organization to adopt conventional methods and bureaucracy.  They challenge norms, break conventions.  The encourage diversity of thought.

RESILIENT

They don’t cry.  They create.  Leaders don’t complain when times are tough.  They create, improve on and innovate in order for things to get better. While they believe in and develop best practices, they don’t stop there.  They move on to next practices. Have you ever wondered how some people come up with the proverbial big idea? To put it simply, “They never settle for the way things are today!” They are not stopped by those who say, “We don’t do it that way” or “it might not work.” They aren’t just dreamers; they are doers.  Successful leaders are persistent.  They are never stopped by the setbacks.  They realize that potential is of little value if said potential fails to be realized.

TRUSTWORTHY

You can get through anything if there is trust.  However, once that is broken, it’s hard to move forward.  Leaders have to communicate.  They don’t have to be perfect.  They don’t have to have all the answers.  But they have to inspire trust in the fact that they are doing the best they can and will always tell the truth.  That means knowing the difference between right and wrong and having the character to do the right thing. Some so-called leaders who are charged with confronting problems only grow them because of their lack of accountability and questionable motives.   Sometimes real leadership means changing direction.  People follow a leader because of trust.  That’s the real meaning of charisma.

DO WE NEED LEADERSHIP NOW???

If you hang around long enough, you get the thrill of experiencing the game-changing moments in the dairy industry. Those are the ah-ha moments when the industry takes a leap forward – and moves from ordinary to exceptional. Of course, hindsight is 20/20.

In the past, we had individuals!  We have them today, but we may be too timid to recognize them.  The industry is at a crossroads.  Leaping ahead because of science.  Held back because of economics.  World issues and local issues are each having impact on the way dairying is done. Today we need groups:

  • Scientists and researchers continually breaking new ground
  • Breeders acting outside the box
  • Boards of Directors investing in innovation

Yes, we need leadership.  We know we need it.  Do we know where to find it?

SOME LEADERS past and present STARTED ON THE SH*T LIST!

Being a leader isn’t easy.  It’s hard.  Until success is realized, many will label and malign you.  Some people, despite their potential for leadership, are so afraid of ending up on this short sh*t list that they will do anything to avoid landing there.  This ultimately undermines any chance to do something good for the industry, themselves or their dairy. If you are wondering where today’s potential is …. Who can you name that is being labeled “black sheep” “troublemaker” or “pot stirrer”?  Now. Name a leader you admire and respect.  Were they appreciated in their own time? When they started out? If not, why not?

WHO IS ON THE S.H.O.R.T LIST?

Now we have five punchy adjectives that at first glance might suggest that leadership characteristics overlap. While the characteristics are shared, the areas of excellence are varied.  It takes a broad range of talents to excel in dairying, and there is a need for excellence in every one of them. We need leaders in breeding, advertising, business, sales, showing and fitting, pedigrees and any of the myriad of details that inspire our passion to improve this industry.

The Bullvine Bottom Line

Leadership starts with each recognizing and fulfilling a need.  Everyone in dairying needs to stand up for what will take us forward.  We can’t rest on what got us here.  Now we have to move in a dynamic growing direction.  Look for the leader that’s needed.  True leadership is a short list. Don’t be surprised if you find them – or yourself — standing alone. That’s where all the leaders are!!

TAKE THIS FARMER and LAUGH EVER AFTER

Today more than one of us at The Bullvine was interested in reading about “the jobs where people are most likely to marry each other.

We all liked the statement that “farmers, fishers, and lawyers are more likely to find true love among their own”. Having said that, I was a student from a construction family when I married a student from a dairying family. And two of my dairy offspring married outside the farm family. The other one married into a vegetable growing dynasty.  Nevertheless those of us who chose to “have and to hold” a farmer are always interested in having our choice validated. Will it last?  Are farmers good for the long haul?  Here’s my answer to the question, “Do you take this farmer?”

A Simple Love Story

More than a few know the story of me falling in love with my dear husband Murray at a very early age.  The legend is that at 12 I discovered he lived on the same road as I did, albeit at the other end and a whole county away. I then proceeded to chase him until he caught me.  For a while, it looked like higher education was going to win all his affections but just before he ended up with more degrees than a thermometer, I got the chance to marry my favorite farmer. That was a dream come true for Murray and Karen.

Moo-Roo and Kow-ren together forever.

Even though I knew from older and wiser family members that the “girls” in the barn would always be #1 on the list of his affections, I felt up to the task even if I did occasionally rank somewhere between number two and number forty. That positioning lasted until Murray was hired by Holstein Canada to run the Type Classification program.  At that point, the list of girls became much larger and spanned several countries. All that analysis.  The charts.  The computers. The True Type Models.  Believe me I learned never to ask, “Does this dress make me look fat?”

The only thing worse than being married to a classifier is aging alongside a former classifier.
A confirmed “boob” man, my husband, never ever looked me in the eye … but these days he’s looking so far down that people think he has fallen asleep standing up.  In fact, we both have concerns about failing and falling body parts, and it is showing up in our farm management.  When we named the last two genomic heifers “Plummet” and “Nosedive”, we recognized our growing preoccupation with gravity was affecting our marketing.

It’s A Stage We Are Going Through

What isn’t serious in our marriage is the fun ways we have found to adapt to life’s changes. After all, here was a cow loving geneticist married to a story telling carpenter`s daughter who is allergic to the hay, cows, horses and dogs.  It was soon evident that there would be many pratfalls taken during my extensive tractor and animal husbandry training.  From the calf pan to the ink pen, we both have learned to laugh at ourselves in the barn, in the house, and on the stage.  For 32 years, I wrote scripts for local musical comedy productions, and we both acted up in them. Of course back then inspiration was easy to find. It was simply a matter of taking my daily diary and setting it to original tunes such as the,”I Raise Couch Potatoes” waltz or “They Call Them Offspring because they Leak” symphony. These days I’m branching out into Seniors Stand-up Comedy and an exercise video entitled, “Stand up Vacuuming for the Dusting Impaired.”

There is once again excitement in being dairy farm comics.

We are always breaking new ground at Huntsdale, Wellspring, and the Bullvine. Just yesterday I was working on an improv piece entitled, “Looking like a Farmer!” that I thought might work for a skit in a talent show. I asked Murray for enlightenment. Do old farmers wear boxers or briefs? ” His clever reply? “Depends!” I think he is onto something there, as we both are fighting the continuous fashion feud better known as the battle between body and clothes.  Speaking personally, there was a time when a bra used to keep everything up where it was perky — now the holdups are slipping out under the wire!  Along with every other ailment, following fashion in your later years can make you sick. Murray says he’s spent more than sixty years trying to avoid furniture disease.  “You know! That’s when your chest keeps falling into your drawers!”

Even our faces betray us these days.

Have you ever had one of those busy days on the farm, when you had no choice but to sneak a little nap? Unfortunately, although you wake up refreshed, you have one of those deep lines across your face.  Inevitably, that’s exactly when the doorbell rings. It’s the veterinarian, “Are you all right Mrs. Hunt?”  he asks while staring at this new wrinkle.  Of course, I think humor will save face, so I reply, “It’s not mine. I’m wrinkle sitting for my mom.  She’s always losing things, so I offered to mind this one while she goes to Bible Study!”  This didn’t get far with the vet. I can’t imagine how it would go over with my daughter-in-law at the door.  She is a psychiatrist. (Note to self: Never answer her if she asks, “How are you today Mrs. Hunt?”)

Of course, farm wives have to live up to the fabulous cook reputation.

My recipes although not always tasty are earning a reputation for being legendary. For instance, there was the raspberry pie I made for visiting non-farming relatives. No one could get their forks to cut through the piecrust.  One gallant cousin tried so hard that his fork went right through the pie and sent the piece flying across the room. Mom’s Rocket Dessert has become a legend that is recounted at every family reunion.

So once again I’m sharing the errors of my daze.

Throughout forty plus years, I not only have stayed in love with my farmer husband but I’ve fallen in love with cows too! Because of course “Cows don’t shed like dogs and cats do…they won’t chase the cat or bark at the neighbors.  A cow will not bring you dead mice, or spend all night singing on the fence post!”  Here I am talking myself into loving cows, and we just sold the last twenty-one of them last Saturday.  Better late than never I always say!!

THE BULLVINE BOTTOM LINE – Laff Starts Here

With everyone focusing on picking the right mate and staying together longer, I think there are many years left in my adventure with animal husbandry. For the two of us, our marriage and our humor has benefitted just like our crops from being homegrown – or is that home groan?  We’re putting a “Laugh Local” sign at the end of our lane and, my answer to the question, “Do you take this farmer” is now and always will be:  “Yes. I do. Forever.”

Cheap Milk Is Flooding The Grocery Aisles

Who wins when a price war erupts between competing products?  In the case of water and milk in Europe and the UK, the 5% lower store prices for milk may be great for consumers but the 20% loss at the farm gate is terrible for farmers.

Too Much of a Good Thing

Currently, there is so much milk available in Europe that it is selling cheaper than water. Several conditions have caused this milk surplus led by anything that contributes to rising supply and falling demand.

Too Much Milk Production.

Removal of milk production quotas on EU farms marked the opening of the milk floodgates. For the first time in 30 years, farmers were able to produce as much as they wanted.  However, it contributed to oversupply.  Quotas were originally instituted to prevent overproduction of milk and butter that had happened in the eighties. Quotas set limits on production and established penalties for overproduction.  When they were lifted, it was hoped that it would allow European dairy farmers to compete for business in emerging markets, such as in Asia

Not Enough Demand.

Falling milk demand from China, the Middle East and North Africa was not anticipated and adds even further to the over-supply.

Not Enough Exports.

Forget “From Russia with Love”.  In 2014, the Russian food embargo cut butter 24% and cheese import 32% into that country. This continues to have a tremendous impact.

Too Much Price Competition in Supermarkets.

All of the above are further aggravated in the UK by supermarket price wars.

The Worst that Can Happen?  Now Milk is Cheaper than Water!

In England, a bottle of water costs roughly $1.50.  In France, mineral water costs $1.  That’s not new you say.  What is new is that, with the 20% fall in wholesale milk prices, a liter or milk might be selling for just $1.

Milk Slump Escalates Protests from Push to Shove

With the oversupply of milk depressing the sale price to milk producers, farmers are increasingly agitated with the losses they are shouldering. Milk is selling for less than what it costs to produce it In the UK protests have taken place ranging from clearing grocery shelves to throwing fruit and, in one instance, parading cows through a supermarket.  In Brussels farmers, there took matters into their frustrated hands by throwing eggs, hay and fireworks at riot police.

Calls for Relief

Along with the emotional reaction, there have been more reasoned appeals for relief. The British National Union is calling for supermarkets to increase prices to match production costs. With hopes of getting prices returned to an economically viable level, the European Milk Board is calling for the return of production quotas. President of the Milk Board, Romuald Schnaber, sums it up succinctly, “Unless production is reduced, the market will continue deteriorating at a pace.

Where are Governments in These Bad News and The Good News Scenarios?

Proactive support for the dairy industry has been called for and pledges proposed and started.  The EU is offering $555 million, and France put 600 million euros in place in July. If there is a silver lining in this dark scenario, it’s that new and old milk lovers are enjoying the cheap milk prices. Hopefully, increased consumption will continue and help to grow the market and produce more stable future prices at the dairy farm gate.

Who is telling the Whole Milk Truth?

Back in January 2015 Rob Lyons (Spiked) argued that “Milk is not cheaper than water.” The premise he supports this counter headline position with is that “From booze to petrol, water is the scaremongers’ comparison of choice.” Lyons appears to question that no milk could be cheaper than the water that is free when falling from the skies or coming out of taps.  He asks, somewhat naively, after pointing out that milk is indeed cheaper on shelves than the nearby bottled water on the same shelves “And is this having a knock-on effect on the price received by producers?” You think?

Desperate Dairies

Some dairy spokespersons claim that the slashed prices have left UK dairy farmers facing poverty and financial ruin.  None can continue selling for 10 pence less per litre of milk than it costs to produce it.  If you work it out on the basis of an average of 2,500 litres produced daily, it is easy to see how desperate the situation has become. According to the National Farmers Union, approximately 200 dairy producers have left the industry since January.

What is the Answer?

In truth, there are no easy answers that can satisfy everyone affected by the cheap prices being paid for milk.  Who has the most to win?  The producer?  The distributor?  The consumer?  As long as they all compete with each other and fail to find a workable compromise, there is a very real danger that the question of winning will become irrelevant.

The Bullvine Bottom Line

It’s not about short-term wins. From farm gate to grocery aisle, for any of the stakeholders to benefit, there has to be a viable and sustainable dairy industry.

Dairy Girls ARE Making a Difference in the Dairy Industry

dairygirllogoNetworking with the hopes of starting or expanding your career opportunities is a nerve-racking experience for anyone.  But when you’re a woman in a man’s world, the tension can ratchet up even further.

Last week I was in Madison for World Dairy Expo and attended the Dairy Girl Network Dinner which was held off site. As a member of the media (The Bullvine) and representing a publication that positions itself as a somewhat radical, I was worried that some might have a problem with my Canadian loyalties or what they might assume them to be. My worries were the only thing about the whole evening that was proven to be narrow minded. At the end of the day, this networking experience was the enthusiastic start I needed to make my trip to “Dairy in our DNA” a success from both a social and a business leads point of view.

Laura Daniels Dairy Girl Network founder and president from Heartwood Farm in Cobb, Wisconsin welcomed one hundred and eighty women and expanded on the goals of The Dairy Girl Network. She explained “Dairy Girl Network is growing rapidly and working on future opportunities for women. A mentorship program will be starting soon to bring together women on both professional and personal levels.”  Laura then worked the room and made each one feel that they could have a personal impact on the future of women in dairying.

Dairygirlnetwork1

After that very enjoyable evening of introductions, I had common ground whenever I walked up to any of the “dairy girls” manning booths in the commercial buildings or seated beside me at the showring. I was never disappointed.  Ladies’ who work in agriculture were eager to share not only how they became involved with the companies they represented, but also how deep their dairy passion ran outside of work.  Many were raised on dairy farms or had tapped into their passion through romantic or educational connections. For several showing cattle — the premier feature of World Dairy Expo – has been the starting point for both careers and family. Agricultural jobs have wide open arms to those who can bring their expertise and put it into terms that are relevant to dairy farmers and their suppliers.

“If there’s anything that Dairy Girl Network can provide, it’s the confidence that dairy and agricultural connections offer an undeniable advantage when attracting clients or providing service to the dairy industry.”

Inside the large room at the Monona Terrace in Madison it was exciting to see that, along with the well-known champions of woman in agriculture, there was a whole platoon of enthusiastic girls that were drawn together. There was no question that it was planned to have a non-threatening agenda.  No one was required to stand up and account for their right to be there. Quite the contrary.  With enthusiastic encouragement from the energetic and personable Laura Daniels, we had as much time and freedom as we could use, to meet, greet and connect with other dairy girls. It was exciting to hear the variety and passion of the stories that brought girls from all over the U.S, Canada, and Europe to spend time together at the greatest dairy cattle show in the world.  It was proven time and time again over the next three days that those few hours of glad-handing were useful in making contacts relevant to my dairy work, and I’m sure the same was true for many others. Overall we soon recognized that “Everybody knows somebody and developing a colleague relationship allows us to share our list with others.”

Dairygirlnetwork2

Not only were the doors to friendship open, but the very relaxed nature of the setting also provided an opportunity to discuss problems or issues.  Along with the delicious hors oeuvres and dinner,  I learned how other peers are dealing with gender bias, salary issues and problems getting a foot in the barn door in a predominantly man’s world.  Some had no problems at all.  Others recognized that it could take time and would be up to them to earn respect.  Others said that being a girl could be an asset but that it had to be followed up with the knowledge and action that would build and support a long-term positive business relationship.

The entire evening and the days that followed were also a great opportunity to share valuable connections in media relations and problem solving.  It was inspiring to learn of the many other “value-added” services that woman are providing in the dairy industry.

At the end of the evening, my animal nutritionist daughter, Heather Hunt, and I felt that the event had been a real energizer.  We agreed that “It’s important that we understand how different stakeholders feel about different dairy issues.  Coming together from a broad range of dairy backgrounds and companies, it’s helpful for women who have been in different situations to share insights and solutions with other dairy girls. Kudos to The Dairy Girl Network for their plans to develop mentoring.  What a great resource sharing expertise. “It builds confidence to know that we aren’t one woman trying to make a difference on farm or in the boardroom.  We aren’t just wives and daughters but leaders with gifts and skills to share.”

Dairygirlnetwork3

Laura Daniels is enthusiastically receiving feedback and working with the first Dairy Girl Network Board of Directors to empower dairy women everywhere. “It has been a momentous year for the Dairy Girl Network.  We have truly moved the group nationwide.” From my point of view, it could become international.  Dairy girls from Canada and The Netherlands were also motivated upon hearing the plans as shared by Laura. “Our mission of connecting dairywomen across the nation becomes clearer every day.  I am proud of this network we’ve developed.”

The Bullvine Bottom Line

Dairy women are making a difference, not just because they are different, but because, especially when networking together, they share and expand the same dairy passion.  “It is exciting to look forward and imagine where the Dairy Girl Network will be five years down the road.” Better make that three!!! This group is on the move.

Melbourne 2015 Royal – Working their way to the top

Two years ago Katie, 17, and Renee Anderson, 15, stood last in almost every class at the Royal Melbourne Dairy Show.

They made a decision that day to change those results, and late last month the teenagers dominated the new-look all breeds youth show under Canadian judge Brian Carscadden – taking home $4200 in prize money.

They won Champion, Reserve Champion and Honourable Mention in the senior heifer show, Supreme Champion of the show, and Champion and Reserve Champion handler.

It finished off a spring show programme that also notably included them winning Grand and Reserve Grand Champion handler at the Adelaide Royal two weeks earlier.

Their Supreme Champion heifer, Bluechip Toffees Apple-RC, headed off the winner of the junior heifer show, Quality Ridge Windbrook Bonnie-3-ET, owned by Jayke and Bec Fisher.

Judge Carscadden said Toffees Apple was “striking” with very few faults and she was “very easily” his champion. Sired by Aftershock, she was purchased at the start of this year from Bluechip Genetics and the 18-month-old Holstein heifer still boards at Bluechip. Her grand-dam is the $US1 million cow, KHW Regiment Apple EX96.

“It’s pretty overwhelming, I guess,” Katie Anderson said. “We weren’t expecting it at all. We were shocked how well we went – in everything.”

Katie and Renee’s father, Greg, said he was as happy for his daughters as “a dog with two tails”.

“They’re doing all the work themselves and they’ve taken all the information that has been shared with them, and they are working with it,” he said. “It makes them grow up quicker, but I think it’s better for them in the long run.”

Judge Carscadden had watched the two sisters throughout the day, so he knew what to expect once they hit the ring for the handlers’ competition. Brian is no stranger to leading high profile animals – he was booked three months ahead of World Dairy Expo to lead in every Holstein class for some of the biggest names in the global business.

“For me, the most important thing is: ‘who leads that animal the best they can at all times’,” Brian told the audience.

“Sometimes when I get to the senior handlers class, I ask myself: ‘If I owned a really good one and I was heading to International Dairy Week, for example, who would I choose to show that animal for me? And, there is one person out here that I would hire [his champion, Katie Anderson], because she never gives up.

“She has a big heifer. A difficult heifer. You’ll notice she came into line and she could have settled, but she kept working until she got her in the perfect position. When I came back around the end she had her heifer set up perfectly and I appreciate that effort, and I appreciate that she recognised the heifer wasn’t at her best and she got her to where she needed to be.”

YOUTH SCHOLARSHIP TO INDONESIA

For 18-year-old Keeley Warren, her first Melbourne Show has given her the chance to visit emerging dairy regions in South East Asia – courtesy of a $10,000 Dairy Youth Handlers’ Travel Scholarship. The award was announced at the end of judging and the first-year university student said she was excited and overwhelmed. She works part-time for well-known Holstein and Jersey breeders Stewart and Hayley Menzies, at Nowra, New South Wales.

MELBOURNE RE-BUILDING

The show had its detractors in the lead-up to the event, because it is a long way from the heady days when it was one of Australia’s most prestigious dairy shows.

Less than 50 dairy animals were on the ground, and there were no in-milk classes offered. There was also genuine confusion in the lead up to the event, about whether the show was for open exhibitors or for juniors. In the end, open exhibitors worked it out for themselves. Most spectators felt the show had a future with a junior focus.

Judge Carscadden agreed: “I think there’s something to build on from here and it’s up to the people if they want to make it work or not,” he said.

“It’s a really beautiful facility, even though it’s not easy to get in or out of. The quality of the show was good. They weren’t deep classes. They weren’t big classes, but the ones at the top were quite good and I was able to find the type that I like, which is nice. I hope they continue to make some good money available to these young people, because without the youth, where do we go?”
