The value Mark and Nicky Rueth, owners of Rosedale, place on genetic superiority and performance is a strong reason why they utilize Priority IAC, Inc. products. In fact, each Priority product is formulated featuring genetically superior, branded strains of Smart bacteria that outperform other strains to provide the perfect combination for a healthy rumen.

“We used to use other products, but didn’t see any significant results or performance. When we switched to P-One™ you could see the results right away,” shares Nicky. “We’ve had great luck with every Priority product we’ve used.”

“The cows have more consistent eating and our components are better,” notes Mark as he talks about what he sees from feeding P-One™. “We started using P-One™ and will never quit it because we see the results, which is why we stick with it. We didn’t feed P-One™ for a little while and we had some problems without it. We’ve never been off it since!”

RosaUpdate OnFrom The Executive Director

By Tom Thorbahn

Well spring is finally here—sunshine, warmer weather, birds singing and spring flowers, what a relief after a cold and snowy winter. The weather of winter did not keep Registered Holstein breeders from attending the Convention Sale in March, with a large crowd on hand we had a great sale; you can read the full report in this issue. A big thank you to Quietcove Holsteins, the Elsass family, for hosting the sale and all that went into getting ready. The Sale Committee did a great job, with super consignments. Thanks to everyone who worked so hard on making this a great sale.

At our Annual Meeting in Lima, hosted by District 12, Randall Kiko took over the Presidency from outgoing President, Dallas Rynd. Congratulations to new Vice-President, Paul Haskins, and Secretary, Susan Lora; Lisa Kerr remains as Treasurer. The Nominating Committee appreciates all those who considered running for office this year, a special thank you to those who said yes to running for office. The Association also thanks District 12 for arranging and hosting this year’s events.

One complaint the office has heard about is the slow delivery of the Ohio News by the post office. The News Committee, editor, Jackie Bickel, and myself have decided to try a different mailing rate; evidently other breed magazines are having similar problems.

Please let us know if your News continues to be later than normal.

Those of you who attended the Annual Meeting heard that the Ohio Holstein members will be hosting the National Holstein Convention in 2021. In February I received an email from Kelli Dunklee at Holstein USA about an opening to host the convention in 2021. Your state board has discussed the possibility of moving forward our year to host the convention; we had been scheduled for 2025. We have now been given the ok to move up and host the convention in 2021. At the Ohio Holstein Board Reorganizational meeting following the Annual Meeting, the board approved Julie Renner and myself as the Co-Chairpersons of the National Convention in 2021. Julie and I will be developing a

steering committee and begin site visits. We have a lot of rules from Holstein USA we must follow as we begin on this journey and make our plans. I hope each of you will consider helping out as we move forward. Also keep in mind this year’s National Convention and Meeting will be held in St. Charles, Illinois, June 23-26. If you would like information on the convention, the website is www.holsteinconvention2015.com.

Looking forward to the summer, I hope each of you will attempt to attend or exhibit at your District Show. I know how busy the summer is for dairymen, but what a better way to pass a summer day then visiting with fellow breeders about the great Holstein cow.

Thanksgiving Day......officially comes but once a year on the calendar......but I have learned that it should occur each day and it is right to acknowledge as often as one can!

We are thankful for our the health we have and our ability to enjoy our family as they move on in their lives...grandkids are especially a joy! Our friends and neighbors are another source of joy.

My Holsteins are my pride and joy! We are truly thankful for the Rausch family (Bill, Joyce, Brian and Jen) and their good employees who keep our cows and heifers doing well.

Our most recent herd-average BAA is from 6/14 and our production figures are from the October DHI report.

A Message From The

President By Randall Kiko

Hello Holstein Breeders, I hope everybody is

off to a great spring! I want to personally

thank everyone at Quietcove Farms for hosting a great convention sale in March. Also, thank you to Jeff Brown and Jeremy Elsass for all of your assistance with behind the scenes preparations. I was fortunate enough make it down to watch the Red & White show and the Holstein heifers classes at the Spring Dairy Expo. I was impressed with the depth in all the classes. Congratulations to all the breeders and exhibitors for the quality displayed. I’m looking forward to the next two years as your president of this association. Please feel free to contact me at anytime for concerns you may have. We have a great board and staff on hand. I also believe that Ohio has some of the best Holstein breeders in the country.

On another note, I like quotes. One of my favorite quotes I heard from an older gentleman years ago. “There are three types of people. One that makes things happen, one that watches things happen, and one that asks what just happened?” Which person do you want to be? Keep striving to meet your personal and family goals.

Take care and God Bless all of you! Randall Kiko

I am a planner and my husband is not. But nonetheless, I like life to happen in an orderly fashion, if I can help it. I prefer to do things myself, and I rarely ask for help. However, March 2015 reminded me that despite my neatly written to-do lists, task alerts on my phone and Excel

spreadsheets posted around the house and farm, I am not in charge. And, help is not such a bad thing, after all.

As many of you know, Donald and I were expecting our first child “together” in March. Carson Phillip Bickel was scheduled to arrive on Saturday, March 28th. This panicked my husband because March is one of our busiest months of the year. But I thought, “No problem! I’ll get the March Ohio News to the printer, knock out my duties at the Ohio Holstein Annual Meeting, travel to Mercer Co. with my daughter and her teammates for the State FFA Dairy Judging Contest, have a baby and then arrive at the Spring Dairy Expo with a perfectly-groomed string and a son to show off at ring-side.”

While I was busy making plans, life happened.

Everything went according to schedule, until Carson made his debut into the world. Upon his arrival, we had some c o m p l i c a t i o n s , which resulted in a month-long stay at Dayton Children’s Hospital in the NICU. This was not on any of my to-do lists and that was

the point where my planning on paper was wadded up and thrown out onto the burn pile.

Donald and I found ourselves spending 4-plus hours a day traveling to the hospital to see Carson. We would attempt to make the trek in-between morning and evening chores. But soon, we found ourselves dragging into the hospital late at night, after all the chores were done, because we just couldn’t get away from the farm during the day. Did I mention that Don and I took over the family farming operation in March , as well?

At first, we responded to offers of help with, “Thanks, but we’ve got it under control.” And that was so far from the truth. Soon, our responsibilities were piling up,

and for the first time, life was overwhelming.

I gravitated to my comfort zone and took the girls to Spring Expo, so I could surround myself with work and our “cow family.” It was there, not long after Carson was born, that I realized Donald and I needed help. Not just physical labor, but the emotional and moral support, as well. And it was okay to accept the help and admit that we aren’t as tough as we want everyone to think we are.

I expected my family and church to reach out to us, but what I didn’t expect was the outpouring of support and help that came from our dairy friends. Offers to milk, feed, take care of the girls, cook, clean, say a prayer...they came from all parts of our Association...from individuals I had never even met. And I was humbled. It was Spring, and I knew everyone was just as busy as we were. Their willingness to share our burdens was a sacrifice for them.

If it wasn’t for our neighbors and dairy friends, Donald and I would not have been able to take the time each day to see Carson. If we didn’t have the extra hands, our crops would have been even later getting into the ground, and we would still have cows that needed to be


“Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans.”

turned out from the cow lot. With every ton of feed that was ground, every load of manure that was spread and every acre of ground that was turned, I was thankful to be a part of the dairy community. We could leave for the hospital, every day, knowing that our r e s p o n s i b i l i t i e s were being handled by capable hands, and that gave us peace of mind. I learned to not be so controlling, and appreciate the fact that the chores may not be done at the time of day that we would have done them, but the fact that they were completed was far more important.

To say thank you seems to be so inadequate, and most of you would shrug it off as no big deal. But to Don and I, our friends and family made a huge difference during a very tough time for us. In the future, when one of our “cow family” finds themselves in need of a helping hand, we will be there. Sleeves rolled up, ready to do what we can.

God blessed me with a son who has already taught me such an important lesson in his two months of life. I’m not saying that I’ve completely jumped over the fence to live the life of chaos that my husband seems to thrive in, but I am learning that there are better, more important things I can spend my time on, rather than generating ways to stay organized.

Now that Carson is finally home, I’m approaching life as it happens. If you stop in, my lawn probably needs mowed and my garden has noticeable weeds. You’ll have to move a load of laundry off the couch to have a seat and there will be dishes in the sink. My desk is a mess because I’m a bit behind in registering calves and we aren’t eating as many meals “from scratch.” But the important things are taken care of, such as my family and the farm.

And that’s okay, because I’m learning how to keep busy living life, instead of busy planning it.

Adam Whiteleather, 2014 Junior Buckeye Breed Builder Award

by Adam Whiteleather PHOTO ON THE COVER

To my mother, Su Lin Boudler, I am known as AdamJohn. To my friends in Columbus, I am Whitey. Here at 8208Bayard Road, I am sometimes anything but my own name. Iwas born and raised at Whiteleather Hoslteins within a large,close-knit family. With two uncles, nine aunts, 23grandchildren, and 19 great-grandchildren, you can onlyimagine what the Columbiana County and District 2 showdays are like.

Some of my first farming memories are at the age of six.My grandfather, Ludwig, assigned strict duties to me ofpicking up trash and feeding baby calves. However, the onlygoal I had was to make sure that I rode with dad, GlennWhiteleather, when planting season started. Throughout myyears as a “youngster,” I have been involved with RegisteredHolsteins as a 4-H’er showing at the county fair and minimaldistrict shows. I did okay, but cows didn’t really give me that“itch” yet. At the age of 16, I was more of a tractor guy at thetime, and my only priority was planting corn, combining,raking and baling hay.

After high school, my strong interests in agriculturalindustry lead me to pursue a B.A. in Science and Agriculture,accompanied by an Associate’s degree in Construction at TheOhio State University. I had worked closely in the past withthe Soybean Research Lab as an intern, and my part-time jobwas on The Ohio State Grounds Crew Team. There I met agreat friend and future cow partner named Charlie Henry.We were responsible for prepping fields and game day setupon The OSU Buckeye football field. While performingmaintenance on irrigation lines and ground equipment,Charlie always wanted to talk about “cows.” His knowledgeof bulls and information about his own herd inspired me tolearn more about my family herd back home.

After graduation, I realized that my life didn’t have torevolve solely around harvesting. I started working with thecows on a daily basis. I began giving I.V. treatments to sickcows when needed, trimming hooves, vaccinating, breedingand helping with the pregnancy checks. Like Grandpa,mating cows is one of my favorite things to do and is thefoundation of the herd today. Lawrence and I are dedicatedto studying our cows and using the best bulls combined withhigh profile genetics to maintain that solid pedigree line. Itis self-gratifying to watch a two-year-old freshen in with agreat frame and mammary system and know that I wasresponsible for choosing the mating.

Here at Whiteleather Farms, we are currently milking 500Registered Holsteins. Our rolling herd average is 26,127 lbs.of milk, 964 lbs. of fat, and 807 lbs. of protein. We arecontinuing to grow at a rapid rate due to all of ourflushing/embryo transfer work. We enjoy working with ourherd and take pride in flushing. I am very excited to shareour growth and development of all our young ET’s. Some ofthese ET’s have seen the show ring a time or two. Due to ourgreat success in flushing by Dr. Nate Steiner, we have beenmore active in the show ring than ever before.

2015 Ohio Holstein Distinguished Service Award

The 2015 Distinguished Service Award winner is Dallas Rynd, a very worthy recipient of this honor. Dallas is the youngest of eight children raised on a Registered Holstein farm in western Pennsylvania. He was active as a youth in 4-H and FFA, receiving the state FFA degree. Following high school he joined the family partnership with his father and two brothers on the home farm. During those years Dallas was primarily in charge of the breeding and merchandising of the herd. In 1985 he became a classifier for Holstein USA in the eastern region of the country. While working for Holstein USA , he met his future wife, Judy Wolford. Upon leaving Holstein he returned to the home farm and on July 4, 1987 Dallas and Judy were married. The newly married couple decided that they wanted their own farm,

and on the last day of January 1992 moved themselves and their herd of Registered Holsteins to Judy’s parents farm in Ashville to start their own dairy farming operation and Silver-Mist Holsteins. Dallas especially enjoys showing cattle and their herd has been exhibited at local, state, and national shows. They have been very successful in the show ring, garnering many awards at their district show, and receiving numerous All-Ohio winners and several All-American nominations. He is especially proud of the many youth activities their farm has been able to participate in over last twenty plus years. They have hosted district FFA judging contests and numerous farm tours for youth from kindergarten to college students. Additionally many non-farm youth in their county have had the opportunity to work at the farm, as well as participate in 4-H and FFA with project animals from the herd.

Dallas has served in numerous offices for the District Five Holstein Club. He served several years on the Pickaway County Farm Bureau Board and has been a member of his township zoning board. He has served the Ohio Holstein Association as Vice-President and the past two years as President, leading the Ohio Association ably leading the association through a very difficult period. Dallas is a most deserving recipient of the 2015 Distinguished Service Award of the Ohio Holstein Association.

2015 Ohio Memorial Award RecipientMelissa and Bobby Hart of served as judges for the Ohio Memorial Award. As Melissa presented the award she commented that it was one of the hardest things she had committed herself to. “These two applicants were outstanding to talk to and it was an extremely difficult decision,” she stated before announcing Matt Oechsle as the winner of the 2015 Ohio Memorial Award.

Matt is the 20-year-old son of Jim and Cheri Oechsle of Van Wert, in District 12. He is a student at Clark State University in Springfield, Ohio. He currently works part time at Stan-Mar-Dale and travels between classes and during the show and sale season fitting cattle across the country. In high school he was active in FFA, choir, drama and baseball.

He began his Holstein career with the help of Jim and Jeanie Tugend of Jeromesville. Calves were chosen for projects, brought home raised and shown for two years, bred and returned either prior to calving or shortly after calving to begin with. A few of those have been kept and developed over the years and shown as

cows as well. 12 years later, with the “help of my Dad and grandpa Ken Schroer with breeding decisions and raising them….we no longer lease any and now have the means to show elite black and white and red and white Holsteins.”

Matt’s responsibilities grew over the years from helping with feeding chores to fitting, field work and breeding decisions. Matt states, “My breeding program and philosophy is simple…..nice legs, great mammary system and smooth with all the right curves. In this case I am referring to my Holsteins”

A previous winner of the Ohio Distinguished Junior Member, Matt has served in various capacities of the Ohio Junior Holstein Association. He enjoys mentoring young dairy enthusiasts with many of the families he works with while on show circuits. Matt’s plans are to obtain a business education and continue to work in the dairy industry.

Ohio Holstein Convention Sale Averages $3,273

by Barb Lumley

Travelers to the Ohio Holstein Convention Sale were grateful that the roads leading there were no longer covered with ice and snow as they has been in the weeks before. The sale was hosted by District 12 and Quietcove Holsteins and was held at their farm at Wapakoneta, Ohio on Saturday, March 13, 2015. The cattle were housed in a tent with part of it used for seating and the sale ring. By sale time it was filled with an enthusiastic crowd in spite of an accident on State Route 75 that made getting there a little more complicated. The 77 live lots averaged $3273. Six embryo lots averaged $1529. Topping the sale at $18,000 would be Pine-Tree 4233 Mogu 5488-ET, a Very Good 85 two year old with a GTPI of +2499, from the Rudy Missy family, sired by Mountfield SSI Dcy Mogul and making a nice record, she sold with contract interest. She was purchased by Jason Lehman, Jonestown, Pennsylvania, and was consigned by Matt Steiner, Marshallville, Ohio. Lot # 1 Lindlaur Gabor Annette was the first animal in the ring to start the sale. This fancy four year old show winning Willow-Marsh- CC Gabor daughter from an Excellent Advent dam was already classified Excellent 91and had recently calved. She sold for $8200 to Brian Gunkelman Perrysville, Ohio and was consigned by Matthew Steiner, Marshallville, Ohio.

Selling for $8000 was Lot # 3, S-S-I Platinm Marke 9050-ET, a bred heifer due in May with an ultrasound heifer calf by Seagull Bay Sheriff-ET. Sired by Seagull Bay Platinum-ETS from a Very Good 86 Shamrock dam, she has a GTPI of +2439. She was consigned by Select Sires Inc. Plain City, Ohio and purchased by Pete Spike, Delaware, Ohio. Ohio ladies proved that they know a good one when they see it, as Lot # 17, MS Apple MS Adra-Red, a fall calf, was purchased for $6700 by Laurie Menzie, Judy Wolford, and Lisa Kerr, McClure, Ohio.

Ohio Holstein Summer Extravaganza Sale Lot 13



Hi, everyone,what a nicesummer we havehad so far. As wefinish up third-cutting hay andkids are going backto school and theLittle League World Series, we know fallis coming.

If you didn’t make it to Iowa, youmissed a very nice convention, and Iwant to congratulate the Iowa Holstein Association for a jobwell done. The big thing to come out of Iowa was theunveiling of a new product that we have been working on forseveral years. That new program is named Enlight, and it is aunique tool that provides a convenient web-based access toyour herd’s genetic information, and it is easily accessible onyour office computer or tablet. This new program is a jointeffort between Holstein Associates USA and Zoetis. To learnmore about this new program, you can go on the Holsteinwebsite Enlight; log in to Holstein Genetic Dashboard, andlook up the summer Holstein Pulse. Lindsey Worden does avery nice job introducing this new program. I encourage youto call Glen Sageser; he can help you get enrolled today.

I want to congratulate Jeff Brown and Eric Topp for jobswell done judging at the Indiana State Fair. You both mademe proud to call you fellow Holstein members.

On a different note, I want to thank Esther for her manyyears of service to the Ohio Holstein Association. The first timeI met Esther personally was in Minnesota, when I was runningfor director. The first thing she told me was, “If you get elected,you must write an article for the Ohio News.” I will admit, Ididn’t make it easy for her. She would first e-mail me two orthree times, then she would call me once or twice, and I wouldfinally get the article to her. The other thing I have to thankEsther for is, when I wrote my first article, she said, “I want tonickname you Indiana Jones.” I tried to talk her out of that,but as you know, she is very persuasive. So thanks to Esther,now everyone says there is an Indiana Jones. Thanks! Justkidding, Esther. It was wonderful meeting you, and I thankyou for a job well done and wish you the best of luck.

Well, I have got to go. We are on our way to Indianapolisto get Jodi registered at the Indiana School for the Blind.

To The Buyers Of Our Consignments This Year T hank You

by Barb LumleyThe noisy ringing of the alarm clock awakens you at five o’clock in the morning and you reach out to silence it, wishing you could stay in your warm and comfort-able bed, but you know you don’t have a choice. As you hit the button to start the coffee pot, you are already

thinking about the chores that must be done and the decisions that must be made during this day. There will be many and they won’t all be easy ones to make. For some it will be which fields to work in, how much seed is going to be needed, can we afford all the fertiliz-er that needs applied, do we repair that piece of ma-chinery or try to pay for a new one, do we plant corn or soybeans, etc. For others it is which bull are we going to use to mate that top cow, are we going to give that two year old a second chance in spite of her record, are we going to classify the herd, which calves are we going to pick out for the shows, are we going to buy anything at the Ohio Spring Sale, and more. Every day on a farm is filled with decisions that must be made. These days I don’t have to make all those decisions. My biggest decision to start the day is what I am going to eat for breakfast. However, I find there are a multitude of “doctors” and “experts” who want to tell me how to make that decision and what I should or shouldn’t eat! I am often up late talking to someone on the phone, writing my columns, or watching late TV. Late night TV always seems to be the place to find those doctors and experts who know what is best for all of us. In the early morning hours last week it was a doctor telling me not to eat anything made from grain. According to him, “Cows eat grass and grains are the seeds of grass. Cows are different from people. They have four stom-achs, their teeth keep growing, they chew a cud, and they have a spiral colon. In humans grains raise blood sugar and fan the flames of inflammation. Grains are not essential to health. If you eliminate wheat you will lose weight and jelly beans are gluten free”. (I love

jelly beans!) Well, there goes my Shredded Wheat, Wheaties, and toast for breakfast! To become healthier I need to order his CDs and cookbooks. Another TV show tells me how bad meat is for me. I should become a “Vegan”, eating only vegetables. You are encouraged to make smoothies for breakfast using vegetables, nuts, juices, etc. I wonder if they have ever tried adding fresh green alfalfa? It is great for the cows----why not for people? But no ham, bacon, or sausage for breakfast! There are CDs and cookbooks available. We have been bombarded for years with articles in magazines, TV shows, and doctors telling us how bad dairy products are for us. “If we drink milk, it must be “watered down” to 1%, never drink whole milk. Butter is terrible for you and clogs up your arteries, so we should always use margarine”. I remember as a child when margarine became popular. It was this gooey white stuff that looked like lard and you mixed a packet of yellow dye into it. Yum!! Lo and behold, they have recently discovered that margarine is worse for you than butter and drinking whole milk is not bad for you! It seems there is always some “doctor” or “expert” to tell people what they should or shouldn’t eat and they always seem to attack the foods that are provided by farmers in this country. The best thing we can do as farmers is to provide top quality products from a clean, safe environment and encourage consumers to use common sense when feeding their families. The weather is holding up hauling manure, field work and planting, and the price of milk is unsteady. Farm-ers everywhere are stressed and trying to deal with decisions and anxiety. They need help and support as they tackle the problems. Tomorrow night I am going to watch a program where the expert is going to tell me how to escape anxiety, stop panic attacks, find my stress number, conquer control issues, and let go of my need for revenge. I will let everyone know where to order the CDs and books as soon as I find out! In the mean-time, I am meeting a cousin for breakfast and I will be ordering bacon, eggs, hash browns, toast with lots of butter, and a big glass of whole milk! It isn’t a difficult decision and I am not the least bit anxious about it!!

With more teams than in the past eight years, itwas round after round of nearly 600 toss- up andteam questions that are posed as bonuses.

As the day progressed and between rounds, every-one took time for a pizza lunch and then an ice cream barsnack provided by the American Dairy Association andOhio Dairy Producers. This year, the Juniors had theopportunity to observe the final Senior round thatdetermined the champion. Then everyone relocated andwatched the final Junior round!

Ryan Haden grew up in Elkins, West Virginia and Timonium, Maryland. He credits his grandparents with his interest in agri-culture and soil management. He has a M.S. and Ph.D. in Soil

Science from Cornell University. Ryan said he decided to come to OSU-ATI because he is excited to develop a hands-on and innovative teaching and re-search program that equips the next generation of farmers and agronomists with the skill they need to maintain the productiv-ity, profitability and sustainability of Ohio’s agricultural systems. His position is about 70

percent classroom instruction and 30 percent research. In addition to teaching Soil Management, Soil Fertility & Fer-tilizers, Forage Crops, Grains and Oilseed Crops, Ryan will be

advising students in the Agronomy, Crop management, Soil and Water Conservation, and Sustainable Agriculture majors, and co-advising the Agronomy Club. He will also be providing curriculum development leadership to ATI’s relative new Sustainable Agriculture Major. His research interests include developing soil fertility and nutrient management recommendations, agricultural strategies to protect water quality, cover crops, and the cycling of nitrogen, phosphorous and carbon in agricultural soils. Ryan said he is excited about what OSU-ATI has to offer the students. He said that he, along with the other new agronomy faculty at ATI, is working to improve the instructional content and lab ex-periences so that students will have the skills and experience to take advantage of the new technology and science based tech-nologies that are being developed for the agricultural industry.

tables, which also brought moreperspectives to The Ohio News. Ifocused on the goal of making a profiton the in-and-out of every issue. I didachieve this goal. The best part ofbeing the editor was meeting themany fine Holstein breeders in Ohio,the US and other countries along withmany others in the dairy industry. Thepeople I met were the most significantpart of my experience.

What counsel can you provide to thenext editor?

As an editor I have found thatresults don’t happen overnight, andno one can do the job of editor alone.Remember that everyone needs recog-nition and needs to feel important. Bemore concerned about the otherperson than about yourself.

I would hope that The Ohio Newswould continue to be useful andinteresting to our members and thatthe membership would take owner-ship of The Ohio News and recognizeits importance as the glue that bindsthe statewide membership together.While we meet face to face only a fewtimes a year, we can meet on the pages

of The Ohio News every issue.I encourage The Ohio News to

continue to tell the stories of ourHolstein breeder families that willemphasize our similarities andrecognize our differences. Rememberthat when each issue is published, it isOhio Holstein news, and later it willbecome Ohio Holstein history. Thispublication becomes the statearchives for Ohio Holstein industry.

My hope is that The Ohio News willcontinue to serve and celebrate themembership, and chronicle thesuccess of the Holstein breed andbreeders in Ohio so that the storieswill resonate long after publication ashonest and relevant. Changes areinevitable.

Esther, can you give us your thoughtson the “then and now” changes andprogressions you have observed?

When I started as editor, we wereusing standard typewriters, black andwhite 5x7 prints of cows, snail mailand sometimes designing the ad ongraph paper. The most advancedoffice machines were a fax and anautomatic letter folder. I believe the

Ohio Holstein Women bought one orboth of these items for the office. Nowwe work with computers, email andfull-color copy machines. It is remark-able how fast we can get email photos.It is especially helpful, now that wecannot trade photos with othermagazines. Each issue of The OhioNews now goes online, and ourwebmaster Peter Spike keeps ourwebsite updated. One big change isthat sale and show results show up online within a day, before The OhioNews can be printed and distributed.Nevertheless, I believe our membersappreciate having a magazine theycan hold in their hands and read. Iknow some of our members do nothave any email access and others donot have speedy email.

Final thoughts…I want to thank everyone who has

helped me through the years: staff,officers and board members, commit-tee chairs, advertisers, contributorsand my family. I am so proud of theway everyone is working together tocontinue the success of the OhioHolstein Association.

Lahmers Promoted by COBA/Select Sires

Chris Lahmers, Marysville, Ohio has accepted the promotion to Marketing Director-North for COBA/Select Sires.

“Leadership, genetics background and passion for COBA made Lahmers an ideal fit for the position,” according to General Manager, Duane Logan.

The transition will be seamless as Lahmers has already been leading the genetics program in the north, this position will expand his responsibilities to include overseeing all aspects of the marketing program and staff for the northern territory served by COBA/Select Sires. He will also work closely with our sales efforts in Mexico.

Previously, Lahmers had been serving as a Select Mating Service (SMS) specialist for COBA in southern

Ohio and southwestern Pennsylvania. Lahmers has been with the COBA/Select Sires organization for almost sixteen years as a dairy program specialist. One of his primary responsibilities has been to work with individual owners to help them set and meet their genetic goals through corrective matings. This experience will prove invaluable as he leads the team of three Regional Sales Managers, eight District Sales Managers and twenty-seven AI technicians. His team is responsible for getting the most highly fertile semen in the industry to our member-owner-customers in the most efficient and effective manner.

COBA/Select Sires is one of the largest member cooperative within the Select Sires Federation and Lahmers will be challenged to meet the changing needs of dairy and beef producers.

A graduate of The Ohio State University, Lahmers is an accomplished dairy cattle judge. He had a very successful collegiate judging career and continues to be sought after for national and international shows at the highest level. He is the owner of the very successful Brown Velvet Swiss herd and Lah-Dale Holsteins, with his dad and brother. He and his wife, Dr. Elizabeth Lahmers, DVM, reside in Marysville, Ohio with their three daughters.


East Clinton FFA Wins State Judging Contest

After a successful season of judging contests, the East Clinton FFA Dairy Cattle Evaluation Team was awarded the title of State Champions, winning the final FFA competition. Under the coaching of Matt Griffith (advisor) and assisted by Jackie Bickel, the team consisted of Zach Bernard, Veronica Brewer, Hanna Fosbrink and Emma Mathews. The team entered the final competition in first and maintained their lead, winning by over 100 points. They judged a total of 10 classes of cattle and completed a written hg, a pedigree, sire selection, and gave three sets of oral reasons. In addition to winning the State Contest, the group was the highest oral reason scoring team, as well. Hanna Fosbrink was 1st individual and 3rd in oral reasons, Zach Bernard placed 4th individually, Emma Mathews was 9th individual and 2nd in oral reasons, and Veronica Brewer placed 14th individually. This fall, the team will be representing Ohio at the National FFA convention held in Louisville, Kentucky.

Did You Know?PASS IT ON

To reinvent the milk experience for today's consumers and reverse the decades-long sales decline, your dairy checkoff program is partnering with seven companies that are leaders and

innovators in the milk and beverage arena. One example of this is fairlife® milk, a result of dairy checkoff's partnership with the Coca-Cola Company and Select Milk Producers. Fairlife® is ultra-filtered for 50% more protein, 30% more calcium and half the sugar - and has the potential to change the fluid milk category forever. Fairlife® is intended to compete head-to-head in grocery stores against soy, almond and other imitation beverages. In tests last year, it took sales away from those products and in fact, grew the overall dairy milk category. This is an important step forward in revitalizing the milk category by creating new relevance among new types of consumers. If successful, fairlife® may stimulate a catalytic effect among processors and beverage companies, motivating others in the industry to provide a wider array and availability of milk and milk-based products and sell more dairy over time through industry innovation and marketing investment. And that's good news for dairy! The other partners your dairy checkoff program is working with include Dairy Farmers of America (DFA); Darigold/Northwest Dairy Association; The Kroger Company; Maryland & Virginia Milk Producers Cooperative Association, Inc.; Shamrock Farms; and Southeast Milk, Inc. The investment these seven partners are making is unprecedented - 15-to-19 times the amount that dairy farmers are investing - to unlock innovation and put milk back in the center of the rapidly growing health and wellness beverage market. The national dairy checkoff's role is to provide support, insight and technical expertise to these strategic partners who are developing and testing new and innovative milk and milk-based beverages that address consumers' changing lifestyles and needs.

Tom Thorbahn, 2014Senior Buckeye Breed Builder Award

PHOTO ON THE COVER

From a young age, Tom would follow his father, LewisThorbahn, to the barn for the evening milking, and beforelong, Tom learned to feed the calves. At the age of five, Tomwas promoted to record keeping, perched on a milk can atan old desk in the milk house, recording the milk weightsfor each cow, as well as recording breeding and calvinginformation in the herd register. He soon learned to milk,and by the age of ten could milk the whole herd of 40 head,carrying the milk to the milk house. The herd was allRegistered Holsteins, and Tom did all the registrations forthe herd. In 1960 his father and Uncle Richard built a newparlor and expanded the herd to 105 head. Tom was “athome” in the barn and was usually doing the milking andchores while everyone else was in the field.

Following graduation from OSU in 1971, Tom assumedall aspects of the dairy herd: milking, breeding, nutrition andhealth care. Over the next few years, the herd went back onofficial test, and later HIR, breeding the herd to 100% AI. Bythe late 1970’s, they enrolled in the classification program.During the herd expansion, many grade cows were added tothe herd. When HFA adopted the grade ID program, anygrade cows in the herd were identified. The herd prefix was“Crimson Lane,” which comes from the old lane lined withred bricks. In the late 1960’s, when Tom’s father and uncleretired, Tom and his younger brother Lewis assumed fullmanagement of the farm and dairy. The dairy herd was soldin 2009, a year after Lewis had a disabling stroke. Today, Tom

continues to grain farm 1,000 acres.Tom and his brothers all showed dairy 4-H and FFA

projects at the Sandusky County Fair and District 9 Show. Inthe 1980’s, they also showed at the Ohio State Fair. TheThorbahn brothers are proud to have bred the Reserve JuniorAll-American Senior Heifer Calf in 1984. The herd hasalways sold a few animals, but in the 1980’s they beganhaving regular consignments in state and district sales. Oneof their consignments was high seller at the OhioConvention Classic Sale. A private sale of a Bell daughter, toJake Chardon in 1986, provided embryos that founded aprominent cow family for the Veneriette family of northernHolland. This cow family was later featured in a HolsteinInternational article. One of the greatest compliments to asuccessful breeding program is the excellent performance ofanimals that are sold into another herd.

Tom has bred or developed numerous Gold Medal Damsand Dams of Merit, and many young sires were sent to A.I.from his herd. Two of those bulls were returned to activeservice at Sire Power. One was in the top ten for milkproduction in the breed following the bull’s release. Whenthe Tom’s herd was sold in 2009, the RHA was 24,988M,858F, 780P, with a BAA of 106.5.

Tom has been extremely active in the Ohio HolsteinAssociation, serving on numerous committees and offices.He served as treasurer for the 2000 National Convention inOhio. He is a 40-plus year member of the HFA; has servedas delegate to the National Holstein Convention manytimes; served on the National Nominating Committee; andin 2003, was elected to the at-large position as NationalDirector of the HFA, where he served on the JAC, GAC and

A change in the animal identification rules for cattle exhibiting at World Dairy Expo will be put in effect for the 2015 show, being held September 29-October 3. To remain in compliance with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Animal Disease Traceability (ADT) rule, all cattle entering Alliant Energy Center grounds are required to be identified with a USDA Animal Identification Number 840 RFID or visual ear tag, or a Canadian CCIA 124 RFID tag. USDA 900, 982, and 985 tags will no longer be accepted as identification for animals born after March 11, 2015. Animals born before this date will be grandfathered in under the new rule and are eligible to enter the grounds. This is an update to the ADT rule that was put in place in 2013 to improve the traceability of U.S. livestock moving interstate. Additionally, animals entering the grounds are required to have copies of their health certificates (either ICVI or CVI) that include the 15-digit identification numbers,

found on the 840 or 124 tags. Animals will not be allowed on grounds without completed health forms. It is also recommended to include the AIN and/or CCIA numbers on your dairy cattle entry form to further expedite the check-in process. For more information regarding animal identification rules, visit the WDE website, or USDA website.

The Queen’s CornerBy Emma Mathews

Hello, Everyone!

My name is Emma Mathews and I am very proud to represent Ohio and our dairy industry as the 2015 Ohio Holstein Queen. I would like to thank everyone for the support, words of encouragement and kind thoughts.

As I am beginning my first article, I realize that I only have one year to serve as queen, and I can only imagine how time will fly. I am looking forward to attending all of the shows, sales, meetings and other events that I am invited to.

For those who I have not met, my parents are Don and Jackie Bickel, and we raise registered Holsteins and Ayrshires on our family farm in New Vienna (D15). I am finishing my Junior year at East Clinton High School and am very active

in 4-H and FFA. I enjoy showing cattle, as well as participating in soil judging, parliamentary procedure, job interview, public speaking, ag sales and of course, dairy cattle evaluation. This year, I am proud to say that our FFA Dairy judging team won the State Contest and we will be representing Ohio at the National Contest this fall. Through my involvement, I have learned that much can be accomplished through hard work and dedication.

My first experience with OHA began in the Spring of 2013, when Don bought me my first Holstein cow for the Junior shows. Whiteleather Damion 1278 (I nicknamed her Tillie) inspired my passion to become more involved in the Ohio Holstein industry. Soon after, I became a member of the Junior Association.

A lot has changed over the past two years! Tillie (who is now a EX-93) will be retiring from the show string this year, and I’m beginning to show my own B&O heifers. But I am excited that I just flushed Tillie to Mogul and am anxious to see what hits the ground next Spring.

Before I visit your District Shows, I will be traveling with the

My sister, Maggie, and I at the 2015 Spring Dairy Expo Red & White Show. My first official duty as Queen.

Ohio delegation to the National Convention. I look forward to visiting old friends, as well as making new, and seeing my fellow showmen at the Ohio State Fair.

If there is an event or activity that you would like for me to attend, feel free to contact me via email at [email protected] or call/text me at 513-535-8001.

2014 Ohio Holstein Queen Allison Mangun and I at the Ohio Holstein Annual Meeting

By Korey Oechsle, News Reporter

It’s been a few years since I last wrote one of these. Friday during State Convention, we had a successful night as the juniors spent the time together over some bowling and pizza. Saturday morning we met for our annual meeting as we discussed our food stand at the sales, National Convention, raffle tickets and this year’s Board of Directors. The Juniors will have a food stand at all the Ohio Holstein sales held in Wooster. Due to everyones schedule we know there are not a lot of juniors in attendance. However, if you are of attendance it would be greatly appreciated if you would lend a helping hand throughout the day.

Your 2015 Board of Directors are Louie Liming, Allison Mangun, Emma Mathews, Mathew and Korey Oechsle, and Keaton and Kinley Topp. Allison Mangun is this years president, Keaton Topp will serve as our Vice-President, Kinley Topp is the Treasure, with Emma Mathews as the Secretary, and me as the Reporter.

Jumping ahead a month we land at the annual Spring Dairy Expo. We would like to congratulate everyone on their success in the ring. Friday after the heifer show we had a brief junior meeting. During the meeting we discussed this years National Convention, as well as a few other things.

National Convention will be held in St. Charles, Illinois, June 23-26, and we have a good group of

Case skid steers and compact track loaders have been known for power and productivity. Now, we’ve outdone ourselves. Twelve all-new models deliver increased performance and power for every task, from lifting bales to mucking stalls. Not to mention industry-leading hinge-pin height to help with feedlot work. No matter what’s on your list of chores, the new Case Alpha Series delivers. And they do it with a larger, roomier cab—the most comfortable on the market.

Oxygen Barrier System

This easy to use patented “impermeable” plastic reduces lossof silage in bunker silos to less than 5% and virtually elimi-nates surface mold. In combination with protective tarps, thefilm is protected from bird, rodent, and UV damage.

To complete the system, Silostop sandbags are used on theoverlaps. It is not necessary to provide weight over the entiresurface so tires are effectively eliminated.
