When the alternative speaks for itselfIn the last 25 years, new technologies have changed the way we do things. For example, registering our animals or checking the milk tests on the web - both help us manage our processes better and we become more efficient.Other technologies like genomic testing and embryos, TMR, more efficient milking robots, etc., allow higher productivity gains in our dairy herds. On a stormy afternoon (proof that a storm can also be productive), I had a talk with a fellow breeder on the changes that have occurred in the last 25 years. This reflection brought us to discuss the next 25 years in managing our farms. Smart phones and other technologies that will be developed can only help us enhance profitability.Really, nobody has a crystal ball, but here are some actual problems that will grow in the next three decades that we will have to deal with as owners of dairy operations. Feed and cost of energy•Oil is currently at its lowest level in many years ($0.97 to $1.05).

Specialists say that there will be a shortage before 2050, so we can predict higher prices in the future. Our machinery relies on oil and it is a direct cost to produce hay and grain.

Environment and soils•Consumers are more and more demanding regarding what

they eat and use. Even if they are not presently aware of all the efforts that are made by the dairy industry (Canadian Quality Milk) they will demand that we be even more 'green'. The cost of climate change will also need to be included in our profitability equation as we invest in solutions to preserve and improve our land base. It certainly doesn't alleviate the expenses that are already piling up on our farms.

Cost of machinery and infrastructures•Like fuel, equipment and construction material will continue

to improve. There is a continued investment that is required to be profitable as nobody wants to let a tractor sleep in the shed 10 months a year.

Specialized resources (veterinarians)•We rarely talk about this, but presently there are limited

services in many regions of Quebec. I am located in an area where there are many dairy farms, but it is not the case for everyone. For many, this problem will become an even bigger issue.

Ultimately, there is no magic potion ... but something that is available to every dairy breeder in Canada to reduce the problems cited above is to add Jerseys to their herd:Cost of energy and feed Jerseys convert feed better with 20% less intake.Environment and soils Jerseys produce 55% less phosphorus (P2O5) compared to the larger dairy breeds (lower ecological footprint).Cost of machinery and infrastructures Jerseys require less expensive infrastructures and need less feed - thus reducing equipment and housing costs.Specialized resources (veterinarians) Jerseys are a picture of health, are fertile, and calve easy. A trio with a direct impact on veterinary costs. Collectively, we all win. Friends, do not stop talking about our Jerseys: it is the future! Mathieu Larose

Quand l’alternative parle d’elle-mêmeAu cours des 25 dernières années, les nouvelles technologies ont changé nos façons de faire. Par exemple, l’enregistrement de nos animaux ou la consulta-tion de nos rapports de contrôle laitier via les sites web améliore nos processus de gestion.L’arrivée d'autres technologies telle que le testage génomique des animaux et des embryons, la RTM, l’amélioration de la performance des robots de traite (etc.) ont permis des grands gains de productivités sur nos élevages laitiers. Lors d’un après-midi de tempête (comme quoi les tempêtes, ça peut être productif aussi) j’ai eu un échange avec un de mes voisins éleveurs sur les changements des 25 dernières années, cette réflexion nous a aussi conduits à discuter du futur des 25 prochaines années pour la gestion de nos fermes. Les téléphones intelligents et les autres technologies qui seront développées pourront nous aider à améliorer la rentabilité.En fait, personne n’a de boule de cristal, mais voici tout de même des problé-matiques actuelles qui seront croissantes dans les au cours des trois prochaines décennies, et avec lesquelles nous devrons composer en tant que propriétaire d’entreprise laitière. L’alimentation et coût de l’énergie•Le pétrole est actuellement à son plus bas depuis plusieurs années (0,97$ à 1,05$).

Les spécialistes prévoient une pénurie avant 2050 donc il y aura une hausse à prévoir avant longtemps. Nos machineries fonctionnent au pétrole : ca aura un coût direct sur le coût de production du foin et des grains.

L’environnement et les sols•Les consommateurs sont de plus en plus exigeants envers les produits qu’ils

consomment. Même si actuellement ils ne sont pas au courant de tous les efforts qui sont faits par l’industrie laitière (lait canadien de qualité), ils nous exiger-ont d’êtres encore plus «vert». Les coûts reliés aux changements climatiques devront aussi être inclus dans notre calcul de rentabilité, car cette instabilité devra être régularisée par des investissements dans les techniques de culture des sols. Bref… rien pour diminuer les charges qui sont déjà nombreuses sur nos fermes.

Le coût de la machinerie et des infrastructures•Comme le pétrole, les autres matériaux de construction n’arrêteront pas leur

progression. Les investissements doivent être rentables, personne n’a les moy-ens de faire dormir un tracteur 10 mois par année dans sa cour.

Les ressources spécialisées (vétérinaires)•C’est un cas qui est rarement soulevé, mais l’offre de service est actuellement

limitée pour plusieurs régions au Québec. J’ai la chance d’être dans une région avec beaucoup de fermes laitières, mais ce n’est pas le cas pour tous. Pour plusieurs la problématique pourrait augmenter.

Au final, il n’y a pas de remède miracle ... mais un geste qui est à la portée de tous les producteurs de lait du Canada pour contrecarrer les problématiques ci-haut est l’ajout de Jersey à son troupeau :Le coût de l’énergie et l’alimentation Meilleure transformation des aliments et 20% de moins de consommation.L’environnement et les sols Production de 55% de moins de charges phosphore (P2O5) que les races de grandes statures (faible empreinte écologique).Le coût de la machinerie et des infrastructures Infrastructure moins dispendieuse et moins besoin d’alimentation donc moins de machinerie.Les ressources spécialisées (vétérinaires) Une bonne santé, une bonne fertilité et des vêlages faciles, le trio qui a un impact direct sur les coûts vétérinaires. Collectivement nous sommes tous gagnants. Les amis, continuons de parler de notre vache Jersey : c’est l’avenir ! Mathieu Larose

ité impressionnant avec son caractère laitier extraordinaire et un système mam-maire éblouissant. Son profil linéaire con-firme ses cotes élevées pour la stature, la largeur de la poitrine et l’angularité. Tout cela est validé par ses hauts rangs dans la conformation, le système mammaire, les pieds et les membres, la force laitière et la croupe.•SHOWDOWN apporte des écarts ex-

trêmes de gras et de protéine, ayant des cotes supérieures à la moyenne pour la fertilité, la vitesse de traite, le tempéra-ment de traite et la longévité du trou-peau. Si vous êtes prêt à jouer dans les ronds d’expositions majeures, SHOW-DOWN est le taureau qui vous ouvrira la voie.•


•TOPEKA is the perfect addition to the Top 20 LPI Chart. He com-bines multiple great cow families together, which results in breeder satisfaction daughters. Daugh-ters have amazing mammary sys-tems with high rear udders and strongly attached fore udders.•TOPEKA offers positive milk

Select Sire Update Mises à jour des taureaux de Select

•SHOWDOWN is the exciting new bull offered via River Valley Farms! He brings a unique sire stack and a different cow family to the A.I. world. Backed by the two-time All-American Spice, with two generations of World Dairy Expo winners and four generations of EX dams. All of this is anchored by the 10 Star Brood Cow – Impe-rial Snow!•SHOWDOWN will add that high

style, quality with dairy character, and great udders. Looking to his linear profile confirms high scores for stature, chest width and angu-larity. All this is validated through his high ranks in conformation, mammary system, feet and legs, dairy strength and rump.•SHOWDOWN brings extreme

fat and protein deviations with above average ratings for fertil-ity, milking speed, temperament and herd life. If you are ready to head to the big ring then SHOW-DOWN is the bull that will lead the way.•

•TOPEKA est l’ajout parfait à la liste du Top 20 IPV. Il combine plusieurs grandes familles de vaches, ce qui se traduit par des filles qui satisfont les éleveurs. Ses filles ont des systèmes mammaires éton-nants avec des arrières-pis attachés haut et des attaches d’avant-pis supérieures.•TOPEKA offre des cotes positives pour

le lait (+1 228 kg) avec des composantes élevées et plus de 100 kg pour le gras et la protéine combinés. En outre, il a également des cotes supérieures pour la longévité, la persistance et la vitesse de traite rapide. En combinant ceci avec une résistance à la mammite et un score inférieur de cellules somatiques, TOPEKA engendrera des animaux profitables.•La mère de TOPEKA n’a besoin d'aucune

présentation. Il est rare que le fils d'une vache EX-95 soit disponible comme tau-reau actif IA. Topeka apporte de nom-breuses qualités dans une seule offre - performances, conformation et de grandes familles de vaches! •

Breeding Purebred Jerseys for over 27 years

Why Test?Jersey Canada’s mission is “To develop the Jersey breed in Canada by maintaining the integrity of the herdbook and providing tools to increase profitability.” Maintaining the integrity of the herdbook means ensuring that all dates, numbers, and pedigrees are correct. In some cases, this means that a DNA test is necessary, particularly when it comes to verifying the sire and dam of an animal (often referred to as “parentage testing”).Jersey Canada requires parentage tests in these situations:• Registering a bull: Jersey Canada bylaws state that every male registered

in the Canadian herdbook must have its parentage confirmed at the time of registration. The owner pays for parentage testing when registering a bull.

• Embryo donors: any Jersey cow that is flushed must have a DNA test completed before any calves resulting from embryos can be registered. The owner of the donor cow pays for the test.

• Registering an over-aged Jersey: any Jersey that is 18 months or older when they are registered must have a parentage test. The owner pays for testing over-aged animals.

• A calf born early or late: calves born more than 15 days too soon, or 15 days too late (considering the breeding date) may require a parentage test. Jersey Canada pays for the testing of calves born really early or really late.

• Random spot test: Jersey Canada randomly selects one in 300 AI or natural service calves, and 1 in 25 ET calves for a parentage test. These random tests are called “spot tests”. Jersey Canada pays for spot tests.

• Any time the owner isn’t 100% sure of the calf’s sire or dam: sometimes two cows calve at the same time, or a cow is bred to two different bulls, or a heifer is implanted with an embryo and then later rebred, or heifers are exposed to a bull before being confirmed pregnant. In these and similar situations where there is some chance that the expected mating may not be correct, Jersey Canada requires a parentage test of the calf. The owner pays for the test in this type of situation.

Collecting Hair Samples Before starting you will need:• A submission form to record animal information of samples collected• A paper envelope for each sample to be collected• Marker or pen• Scissors to cut off excess/dirty hair• A clean comb or brush• TapeProcedure1. Clean the tail switch to remove any foreign material. Comb or brush the tail to remove any dead hair. If needed, wash, clean and rinse with water. Wait for the tail to be completely dry. The sample must be free of urine or manure. Dirty samples will not be processed. Contamination will make the sample unfit for testing. 2. Select 5-10 tail hairs near the base of the tail switch and quickly pull hairs upward (against the grain of the roots). Visually inspect to ensure that hooked or bulbous roots are attached. Repeat until 20-30 hairs with roots have been pulled.3. Trim the ends opposite the roots to remove dirty, wet or excess hair (note: feces and urine in the hair can degrade the sample and make it unfit for DNA testing).4. Place the hair sample in a paper envelope. Use a separate envelope for each animals sample. 5. Clearly label the envelope with the unique identity of the animal. Record the animal information on the submission form. The animals ID on the envelope must correspond to the animals ID on the submission form.6. To collect a sample from another animal, clean hands or put on a clean pair of surgical gloves and repeat the above steps. 7. Place the envelope(s) along with the submission forms into a larger envelope and mail or express post the package to the appropriate lab.

Genetic testinG


Pourquoi tester?La mission de Jersey Canada est de « développer la race Jersey au Canada en maintenant l’intégrité du livre généalogique et en fournissant les outils nécessaires pour augmenter la rentabilité. » Pour maintenir l’intégrité du livre généalogique nous devons nous assurer que toutes les dates, tous les numéros et toutes les généalogies sont exacts. Dans certains cas, ceci signifie qu’un test d’ADN est nécessaire, particulièrement lorsque vient le temps de vérifier le père et la mère d’un animal (souvent appelé le « test de parenté »).Jersey Canada exige un test de parenté dans les cas suivants:• Enregistrement d’un taureau: Les règlements de Jersey Canada mentionnent que tout

mâle enregistré dans le livre généalogique canadien doit avoir une parenté confirmée lors de l’enregistrement. Le propriétaire paye pour ce test lors de l’enregistrement d’un taureau.

• Donneuses d’embryons: toute vache Jersey qui est récoltée doit avoir subi un test d’ADN avant que les veaux résultant d’une récolte d’embryons puissent être enregistrés. Le propriétaire de la vache donneuse paye pour ce test.

• Enregistrer des Jerseys plus âgées: toute Jersey âgée de 18 mois et plus lors de son enregistrement doit subir un test de parenté. Le propriétaire des animaux paye pour ce test.

• Un veau né avant terme ou en retard: les veaux nés 15 jours avant ou après terme (selon la date d’insémination) peuvent avoir besoin d’un test de parenté. Jersey Canada paye pour faire tester ces veaux.

• Contrôle aléatoire: Jersey Canada sélectionne de façon aléatoire un veau parmi 300 veaux issus de l’IA ou de service naturel et 1 veau sur 25 provenant de TE pour un test de parenté. Ces contrôles aléatoires sont payés par Jersey Canada.

• Lorsque le propriétaire n’est pas certain à 100 % du père ou de la mère d’un veau: parfois, deux vaches vêlent en même temps; parfois une vache est saillie avec deux différents taureaux; parfois une génisse reçoit un embryon puis est ensuite saillie de nouveau; parfois des génisses sont exposées au taureau avant que la gestion ne soit confirmée. Dans ces situations ou toute autre situation similaire où il est possible que l’accouplement prévu ne soit pas exact, Jersey Canada exigera un test de parenté pour le veau. Le propriétaire doit payer pour le test lorsque ce genre de situations se produit.

Récolte d’échantillons de poils Avant de commencer, vous aurez besoin:• Du formulaire de demande pour inscrire l’information de l’animal qui subira le test• Une enveloppe de papier pour chaque échantillon à récolter• Un stylo ou un marqueur• Des ciseaux pour couper l’excédent de poils ou les poils souillés• Un peigne ou une brosse propre• Du ruban adhésifProcédure1. Nettoyez le toupillon pour y enlever toute saleté. Peignez ou brossez la queue pour enlever les poils morts. Si nécessaire, lavez et rincez avec de l’eau. Attendez que la queue soit complètement sèche. L’échantillon ne doit contenir ni urine ni fumier. Les échantillons sales ne seront pas analysés, car la contamination pourrait fausser le résultat. 2. Enroulez environ 5 à 10 poils autour de votre doigt et tirez d’un coup sec vers le haut (contraire au grain des racines). Inspectez les poils pour vous assurer que les follicules y sont attachés. Répétez jusqu’à ce que vous obteniez environ 20 à 30 poils avec leurs racines. 3. Coupez le bout des poils au bout opposé aux racines pour enlever la saleté, les poils mouillés ou superflus (note: du fumier ou de l’urine dans les poils peuvent dégrader l’échantillon et le rendre inacceptable pour le test d’ADN).4. Placez l’échantillon de poils dans une enveloppe de papier. Utilisez une enveloppe séparée pour chaque animal testé. 5. Identifiez clairement les enveloppes avec l’identité unique de l’animal. Inscrivez l’information de l’animal sur le formulaire de soumission. L’identité de l’animal sur l’enveloppe doit correspondre à l’identité de l’animal sur le formulaire de soumission.6. Si vous devez échantillonner plus d’un animal, lavez vos mains entre chaque animal ou utilisez une parie de gants chirurgicaux propres et répétez les étapes ci-haut. 7. Placez le(s) enveloppe(s) ainsi que le(s) formulaire(s) de soumission dans une plus grande enveloppe et postez ou envoyez par messager au laboratoire approprié.

jersey ontario herd tour profilePleasant Nook Jerseys & Holsteins


Rob and Julie Eby took over the Pleasant Nook farm when Julie’s par-ents, Bill and Joan Fletcher, retired in 2009. The cows were moved from Fisherville to the new 10 acre site in Ayr, located in Southwestern On-tario. Julie is a fifth generation Jersey breeder while Rob is a fourth gen-eration Holstein breeder, who hails from the famous three time Master Breeder, Ebyholme Holsteins. Today, as Rob and Julie enter their sixth year at Pleasant Nook, they milk 30 cows from their registered herd of 120, which are 80% Jersey and 20% Holstein. Two part-time employees are also on staff.The Eby’s three daughters, six-year-old Rilee, three-year-old Presley, and two-year- old Brinkleigh, love to be in the barn and help as much as they can. But running a business and having a young family involves multi-tasking and incredible time management. “I love the fact that I can raise the girls the same way as I was, and give them life experiences that their friends may never have - I really have the best of both worlds if I can milk cows and raise a family,” says Julie. Rob’s off-farm career is Gen-eral Manager at Ayr Turf and Trac, located across the field from Pleasant Nook. This is where Rob’s side of the family operates a farm equipment dealership. “I was managing the design and build of our barn and Rob had his own expansion project at work – it was very busy year,” comments Julie, “but we are so very fortunate to be given the opportunity to take over the farm and our parents have helped us get started in every way possible.”In addition to day-to-day farming, Julie also controls the books, marketing activity and website mainte-nance. To capitalize on marketing opportunities, interact with leaders in the livestock industry, and provide opportunities for their daughters to learn how to comfortably handle cattle, the Eby’s partici-pate and have had great success in the showring. Rob clips the animals, oversees the show string and travels with the cattle. There were numerous highlights for Pleasant Nook at the 2014 Royal Jersey Show as they brought home the Premier Exhibitor Banner (show-casing only seven of their homebred girls) and placed first in the Breeders Herd class – a first for the prefix. Also notable were Pleasant Nooks production awards for both Jersey and Holstein. Pleasant Nook classifies their animals as they feel it offers credibility to promote and sell their genetics, and buyers have valuable information to make informed decisions. “We do a lot of flush-ing and export of embryos, as well as sales from our top cow families,” says Julie. The current BCA on the herd is: 256-257-262, with the Jersey’s classified as 19-EX, 10-VG, and 4-GP as 2-year-olds. Holstein classifica-tions as 2-year-olds are: 5-EX (2 @ 96, 95, 94, 90) and 2-VG. “I was born and raised with Jerseys and my father’s passion is the little brown cow, but after milking both breeds you have to really admire the Jerseys ability to calve easily, clean and breed back right away,” notes Julie, “they are terrific around the kids, take up less space and eat a lot less.” Calf management at Pleasant Nook includes a First Defense® bolus and fresh colostrum immediately after birth. Until four months of age they are fed whole milk and a calf starter. The Jerseys then move to Bill and Joan's, who house and take care of 30 heifers and dry cows. All Holstein heifers remain at the Ayr facility. Pleasant Nook went from a TMR pro-gram to a dry forage feeding mix of dry hay, balage, pasture in summer, and a pellet that is fed with their grain in the parlor twice daily at milk-ing. The Eby’s grow and crop 30 acres of hay, supplying half of the dry hay for their milk cows, as well as all of the hay for the heifers and dry cows. They purchase the rest of the forage from both of their parents.Although a second hand is always helpful, the Pleasant Nook barn was set-up to allow one person to operate and chore. It is ‘child friendly’ as there are no gutters or liquid pits. The pack barn is bedded with shav-ings and picked throughout the day. One side has eight box stalls and other is a loose housing pack. The cows are milked in a six stall step-up flat barn parlor. The new barn is attached to an old bank barn where

they raise their show heif-ers and the calving takes place. Rob and Julie use top con-formation and milk pro-duction bulls as they like the best of both worlds - type and production. Cur-rent bulls being selected are Colton, Premier, Com-erica, Tequila, Excitation, Velocity, and Hired Gun. Also used naturally are Pleasant Nook Venue and Venom. “We like to rotate back and forth going with a confirmation bull than hitting them back with some production,” notes Rob. Pleasant Nook has never played the genomics game and feel that their Jerseys breed true – and so far - basing their selections off strong maternal lines hasn't proved them wrong. “My father’s motto: where production is paramount and true type abounds - means we want it all,” says Julie, “and we are still using his phi-losophy everyday in our breeding program - that's one thing that will never

change at Pleasant Nook.” The veterinarian visits the farm every two weeks for regular herd health check-ups. All cows are artificially inseminated and pregnancies are sexed at 60 days. A feed nutritionist is consulted every other month to review the ration. All animals are vaccinated once a year and new additions entering the herd are tested for Johnes and are required to be up to date on all vaccines. From production to show results, the Pleasant Nook prefix has been blessed with a multitude of awards in-cluding Master Breeder in 1987, and four Constructive Breeder awards. Rob and Julie were also recipients of the Jersey Canada Young Achiever award in 2012. “We have been Jersey Canada members for six years and my father for 40 years,” states Julie, “and it’s a fact that our purebred registered animals are more profitable than

those not registered in the industry – and membership also allows us to save money when registering and transferring animals.” •

Julie’s Wish List:1. Make it easier for the next generation to get into farming – the cost of everything has risen, especially hydro, fuel and feed, but cattle prices are lower and the milk price stays the same.2. See bulls come from some different cow families as the selection is getting too close and the breed is becoming very popular… maybe some outcross genetics.3. Move from our current location to a farm that could accommodate 120 head - I would love to have all animals under one roof.4. Breed a Jersey or Holstein that will capture Grand Champion at a major national show.5. Add five more kilograms of quota - it's so difficult to acquire that.

La liste de souhaits de Julie:1. Faire que ce soit plus facile pour la prochaine génération de se lancer en agriculture – tous les frais ont augmenté, spécialement l’électricité, le carburant et les aliments, mais le prix des animaux sont plus bas et le prix du lait demeure le même.2. Voir des taureaux provenant de familles de vaches différentes car la sélection commence à être trop rapprochée et la race devient plus populaire . . . peut-être de la génétique extérieure.3. Déménager de notre emplacement actuel vers une ferme qui pourrait accommoder 120 bêtes – j’aimerais avoir tous les animaux sous un seul toit.4. Élever une Jersey ou une Holstein qui obtiendrait le titre de Grande Championne à une exposition nationale majeure.5. Ajouter cinq kilos de quota de plus – il est très difficile d’en acheter.

“A family to watch out for is that of Pleasant Nook Happy Birthday EX-95 2-E, who is currently on the flush program. She is the 2014 All Canadian 5-year-old. She was also the recipient of the CanWest DHI Production Award at the 2014 Royal. Not taking anything away from Pleasant Nooks famous "M" family, which is still the strength at our farm, but this family is starting to prove to be as strong.” ~ Julie Eby ~

visites de troupeaux de jersey ontarioPleasant Nook Jerseys & Holsteins

Rob et Julie Eby ont repris la ferme Pleasant Nook en 2009 lors que les parents de Julie, Bill et Joan Fletcher ont pris leur retraite. Les vaches ont été déménagées de Fisherville vers le nouveau site de 10 acres à Ayr, dans le sud-ouest ontarien. Julie est la cinquième génération d’éleveurs de Jerseys tandis que Rob est la quatrième génération d’éleveur de Holsteins et provient de Ebyholme Holsteins, trois fois récipien-daire du titre Maître Éleveur. Aujourd’hui, Rob et Julie entament leur sixième année à Pleasant Nook. Ils ont 30 vaches en lactation dans leur troupeau enregistré de 120 bêtes dont 80 % sont des Jerseys et 20 % des Holsteins. Ils ont également deux employés à temps partiel.Les trois filles des Eby, Rilee 6 ans, Presley 3 ans et Brin-kleigh 2 ans, aiment être dans l’étable et aider autant qu’elles le peuvent. Mais gérer une entreprise et avoir une jeune famille demande de faire plusieurs choses à la fois et une gestion du temps serrée. « J’aime le fait que je puisse élever mes filles de la même façon dont j’ai été élevée et leur donner une expérience de vie que leurs amis n’auront peut-être jamais. J’ai vraiment le meilleur de deux mondes si je peux traire des vaches et élever ma famille » dit Julie. Rob travaille à l’extérieur de la ferme. Il est Directeur général de Ayr Turf & Trac qui est situé de l’autre côté du champ de Pleasant Nook. C’est là que la famille de Rob gère un concessionnaire de ma-chinerie agricole. « Je gérais le design et la construction de notre étable et Rob devait s’occuper de son propre projet d’expansion au travail – ce fut une année très oc-cupée » remarque Julie. « Mais nous étions chanceux d’avoir l’opportunité de reprendre la ferme et nos parent nous ont aidé à démarrer de plusieurs façons. »En plus des tâches quotidiennes de la ferme, Julie s’occupe aussi des livres, des activités de marketing et de la mise à jour du site internet. Pour capitaliser sur les opportunités de marketing, interagir avec les leaders de l’industrie du bétail et fournir toutes les op-portunités à leurs filles d’apprendre à manipuler du bétail, les Eby participent aux expositions et connais-sent beaucoup de succès. Rob prépare les animaux, s’occupe des animaux et voyage avec eux. Il y a eu plusieurs moments forts pour Pleasant Nook lors de l’exposition Royal Jersey et ils ont ramené la Bannière de Premier Éleveur (en exposant seulement sept ani-maux qu’ils ont élevé eux-mêmes) et ont remporté la première place dans la classe Troupeau de l’Éleveur – une première pour le préfixe. Ils ont également rem-porté des prix de productions intéressants, tant pour leurs Jerseys que pour leurs Holsteins. Pleasant Nook fait classifier ses animaux car ils croient que ça donne de la crédibilité à leur troupeau pour promouvoir et vendre leur génétique tout en offrant aux acheteurs de l’information importante pour pren-dre une décision éclairée. « Nous faisons beaucoup de récoltes d’embryons et exportons des embryons. Nous vendons aussi des animaux de nos meilleures familles de vaches » dit Julie. La MCR courante du troupeau est 256-257-262 et la classification des Jerseys est de 19-EX, 10-TB et 4-BP en tant que 2 ans. La classifica-tion Holstein des 2 ans est 5-EX (2@96, 95, 94, 90) et 2-TB. « Je suis née et fut élevée avec des Jerseys et la pas-sion de mon père pour les petites vaches brunes. Mais, après avoir travaillé avec les 2 races vous devez vrai-ment admirer l’habileté des Jerseys pour le vêlage facile, se refaire et retourner en gestation immédiatement » dit Julie. « En plus, elles sont fantastiques avec les enfants,

prennent peu de place et mangent moins. » Chez Pleasant Nook, la gestion des veaux comprend un bolus First Defense® et du colostrum frais immédi-atement après la naissance. Jusqu’à l’âge de 4 mois, les veaux reçoivent du lait entier et une moulée début veau. Les Jerseys sont ensuite déménagées chez Bill & Joan, qui hébergent et en prennent soin de 30 gé-nisses et vaches taries. Toutes les génisses Holsteins demeurent à Ayr. Pleasant Nook s’est converti d’un programme de RTM à une alimentation d’ensilage de foin sec composé de foin sec, de foin humide, de pâturage l’été et d’un supplément comprimé qui est donné avec les grains dans le salon de traite deux fois par jour lors de la traite. Les Eby ont aussi 30 acres de foin, qui représente la moitié du foin requis par leurs vaches en lactation ainsi que tout le foin pour les génisses et vaches taries. Ils achètent le reste du fourrage de leurs parents respectifs.Même si l’aide d’une deuxième personne est tou-jours utile, l’étable de Pleasant Nook a été pensée pour qu’une seule personne puisse s’en occuper. Elle est aussi ‘adaptée aux enfants’ car il n’y a ni dalots ni fosses de liquides. L’étable sur litière accumulée est composée de brin de scie et est ramassée au fil de la journée. D’un côté il y a huit parcs et l’autre côté est un parc libre. Les vaches sont traites dans un salon élevé de six places. La nouvelle étable est reliée à une vieille étable où ils élèvent leurs génisses d’exposition et où sont les parcs de vêlage.Rob et Julie utilisent des taureaux de bonne confor-mation et de bonne production laitière car ils aiment avoir le meilleur des deux mondes – la conformation et la production. Les taureaux présentement utilisés sont Colton, Premier, Comerica, Tequila, Excitation, Velocity et Hired Gun. Sont aussi utilisés naturelle-ment Pleasant Nook Venue et Venom. « Nous aimons faire la rotation entre les taureaux de conformation puis ceux de production » dit Rob. Pleasant Nook n’a jamais utilisé la génomique et croient que leurs Jer-seys transmettent bien – jusqu’à présent – et leurs sélections provenant de lignées maternelles solides les a toujours bien servi. « Mon père disait : la produc-tion est primordiale et la vraie conformation. essentielle – ce qui voulait dire que nous voulions tout » dit Julie. « Nous utilisons encore sa philosophie chaque jour dans notre programme d’accouplement – c’est une chose qui ne changera jamais chez Pleasant Nook. » Le vétérinaire visite la ferme toutes les deux semaines pour une vérification de la santé du troupeau. Toutes les vaches sont inséminées artificiellement et on dé-termine le sexe des gestations à 60 jours. Un nutri-tionniste est consulté chaque deux mois pour réviser la ration. Tous les animaux sont vaccinés chaque année et tous les animaux entrant dans le troupeau sont testés pour la maladie de Johnes et doivent avoir obtenus tous leurs vaccins. De la production jusqu’aux résultats d’exposition, le préfixe Pleasant Nook a reçu une multitude de prix in-cluant Maître Éleveur en 1987 et quatre prix d’Éleveur émérite. Rob et Julie ont également reçu le prix de Jeunes Méritant Jersey Canada en 2012. « Nous som-mes membres de Jersey Canada depuis six ans et mon père depuis 40 ans » dit Julie. « C’est un fait que nos animaux pur-sang enregistrés sont plus profitables que ceux de l’industrie qui ne le sont pas – et être membre nous permet d’épargner de l’argent lorsque l’on enregis-tre ou transfère des animaux. » •

Meadow Lynn Farms is a fourth generation Jersey farm estab-lished in 1946 by Fred Judd Sr. In 1978, Fred Judd (Junior) took over the herd when he and Sharon also expanded into strawberries. In 2010, after completing his Bachelor of Science degree in Honours Agriculture at the University of Guelph, Thomas Judd returned to the family farm.Each member of the family team has their own area of expertise. Fred is responsible for cropping 500 acres and maintaining feed for the animals; Thomas manages the herd of 90 and the milking of 45 purebred registered Jerseys, and is the decision maker for breeding, flushing, embryo sales, and export; Sharon administers the books, helps out with the milking/general farm duties, and manages the seven acre strawberry patch; and Sarah (who also works off-farm) is the marketing guru, web designer and is explor-ing market gardening. Two seasonal employees also assist: Ron Judd (Fred’s Father) cuts hay, and Adam Baird is a part-time milker and summer hand.The Judd’s passion for dairy farming stems from the privilege of working with Jersey cows and having them grow and excel under their care. They also value the opportunity to work with family and appreciate their rural lifestyle. “The family attends cow shows because of tradition and to support small fairs … and partially because we want to show off our great cows and cow families,” comments Sharon, “one of our most memorable Jersey moments was winning Grand Champion and Breeders Herd at the Paris Fair with Meadow Lynn Sharon.”In addition to dairy farming Meadow Lynn grows typical cash crops and pick-your-own and ready-picked strawberries. With over 10 varieties they process the berries into syr-ups, juices, jams and jellies. “Our strawberry juice is used in Blue Elephants Strawberry Lager sold at the Simcoe brewery,” says Sharon, “and we also host a ‘walk the crop’ educational tour where the general public can learn about our strawberry crop, the management of berries, as well as sample some tasty strawberry dishes.” The Judd’s Jersey herd holds a solid overall classification average of 85.5 points with a BCA of 233-214-243. Meadow Lynn classifies for comparison with Ontario herd averages. “Although Jerseys are part of our family history,” mentions Thomas, “their easy calving and handling, high butterfat, and better feed conversion to milk produc-tion, make them the most economical cow.” All feed is produced on-farm except for supplements and pre-mixes. The Jerseys thrive on balage and corn silage, processed high moisture corn, protein supplements, and some brewers grains, via a vertical mixer.In 2013 a new barn for the milking cows was added. “The compost bedded pack system with shavings and wall board waste bedding has allowed us to keep animals with health risks more comfortable, compared to our previous tie-stall system, and we are able to improve total lactations per cow,” says Fred. Meadow Lynn claims that the bedded pack drastically reduced leg, feet, hock and teat injuries from their old tie-stall system. The milking cows have access to an exercise yard, which has improved reproductive health. Heifers are housed in a renovated bank barn and calves are in hutches. Their milking system is a ParaBone double five parlour. Meadow Lynn’s breeding philosophy has largely been influenced by Thomas, who matches individual cows to individual bulls, look-ing for that fine balance of production, type and health traits.

“Currently we do not regularly use ge-n o m i c s but we do use e m b r y o transplants, sexed and sorted semen,” states Thomas. The success of their calf management program has resulted in a low calf mor-tality rate and early calving. “Feeding the calves milk up to three months old has dropped our age of first calving by a full month,” notes Thomas, “as over feeding calves had caused a scour issue in the past.” Sand bedding for calves in the summer has greatly re-duced fly pressure. All businesses come with their own set of challenges. The Judd’s claim that their most recent challenge was building the new barn and they are currently in the process of succession planning. The declining knowledge of farming and farm practices within the general population is also a concern, as is the encroachment of the town on their farm. “Our greatest success has been watching

the next generation grow up and take over the farm,” says Fred Judd. Down the road Meadow Lynn would like to investigate robotic milking and within the dairy industry they would like to see milk produced to be consumed more locally, as well as more research on taste and affect of pasteurization and consumer accep-tance of pasteurized milk. Meadow Lynn has been a member of Jersey Canada from the very beginning. Of the pro-grams and services offered they enjoy on-line registration for calves, the maintenance of the herdbook to ensure that their cows are 100%

pure, and the annual general meeting and conference - to so-cialize and further strengthen the Jersey community. “Our Jersey Canada membership adds credibility to our herd and operation, and we have been able to sell cows and embryos both nationally, and internationally,” states Thomas. •

everyone is very important.• Succession planning is a process,

not an event. • Farmers have to start taking

responsibility for education on our own farms, this should be a priority of not only current operations, but new farmers entering the industry.

Judd Family (left to right): Susan, Sarah, Fred, Sharon & Thomas


Meadow Lynn Farms est une ferme Jersey de quatrième généra-tion établie en 1946 par Fred Judd Sr. En 1978, Fred Judd Jr. a repris le troupeau lorsque lui et Sharon ont continué l’expansion dans la culture des fraises. En 2010, après avoir complété un Baccalau-réat en Sciences avec Honneurs en Agriculture de l’Université de Guelph, Thomas Judd est revenu sur la ferme familiale.Chaque membre de cette équipe familiale a développé son champ d’expertise. Fred est responsable des 500 acres en cultures et du maintien des aliments pour les animaux; Thomas gère le troupeau de 90 bêtes et fait la traite des 45 Jerseys pur-sang en-registrées. Il est aussi responsable des accouplements, des récol-tes et ventes d’embryons, ainsi que des exportations. Sharon gère les livres, aide à la traite et aux tâches générales de la ferme tout en gérant les sept acres en cultures de fraises. Sarah, qui travaille également à l’extérieur de la ferme est l’experte en marketing, design du site internet et étudie le marché du jar-dinage. Deux employés saisonniers aident également : Ron Judd (le père de Fred) coupe le foin et Adam Baird fait la traite à temps partiel et aide au travail d’été.La passion des Judd pour les vaches laitières provient du privilège de travailler avec les vaches Jerseys et de les voir grandir et ex-celler sous leurs bons soins. Ils aiment aussi l’occasion de travailler avec la famille et ap-précient leur style de vie rural. « La famille assiste aux expositions de vaches à cause de la tradition et pour soutenir les petites expositions … et aussi un peu parce que nous voulons monter nos belles vaches et nos grandes familles de vaches » dit Sharon. « Nos moments Jerseys les plus mé-morables furent de gagner les titres de Grande Championne et Trou-peau de l’Éleveur à la foire de Paris avec Meadow Lynn Sharon. »En plus de l’entreprise laitière, Meadow Lynn cultive les grandes cultures typiques et possède une entreprise d’auto-cueillette de fraises. Avec plus de 10 variétés, ils transforment les fruits en sirops, jus, confitures et gelées. « Notre jus de fraise est utilisé dans la lager aux fraises de Blue Elephant qui est vendue à la brasserie de Simcoe » dit Sharon. « Nous tenons aussi plusieurs visites éducatives ‘marchons au champ’ où le grand public peut en apprendre plus sur les récoltes de fraise, sur la gestion des fruits tout en goûtant de suc-culents plats aux fraises. » Le troupeau Jersey des Judd soutient une moyenne de classifica-tion générale solide de 85,5 points avec une MCR de 233-214-243. Meadow Lynn se sert de la classification pour se comparer aux moyennes de troupeaux de l’Ontario. « Même si les Jerseys font partie de notre histoire familiale, leur facilité au vêlage et dans leur manipulation, leur haut taux de gras et leur meilleure conver-sion d’aliments en lait font d’elles des vaches les plus économiques » mentionne Thomas. Tous les aliments sont produits à la ferme sauf les suppléments et pré-mélanges. Les Jerseys excellent avec du foin humide, de l’ensilage de maïs, du maïs humide roulé, un supplément de protéine et des drèches de distillerie, grâce à un

mélangeur vertical.En 2013 une nouvelle étable a été ajoutée pour les vaches en lactation. « Le système de litière accumulée compostable avec des copeaux et des panneaux muraux broyés nous permet de garder les animaux à risques plus confortables comparativement à notre ancien système attaché et nous avons pu améliorer les lactations totales par vache » dit Fred. Meadow Lynn croit que la litière ac-cumulée peut drastiquement réduire les blessures aux membres, pieds, ergots et trayons comparativement au vieux système atta-ché. Les vaches en lactation ont accès à un parc d’exercice ce qui a amélioré la santé reproductive. Les génisses sont logées dans une étable rénovée et les veaux sont en huttes. Leur système de traite est un salon double cinq ParaBone.

La philosophie d’élevage de Meadow Lynn est grandement influencée par Thomas, qui jumelle les vaches individuellement aux taureaux, recherchant l’équilibre entre la production, la conformation et la santé. « Présentement, nous n’utilisons pas régulière-ment la génomique mais nous utilisons les transplantations embryonnaires, la semence sexuée et triée » dit Thomas. Le succès de leur programme de gestion des veaux a ré-sulté en un plus faible taux de mortalité et de naissances hâtives. « Donner du lait aux veaux jusqu’à ce qu’ils aient trois mois a fait chuter l’âge du premier vêlage d’un mois com-plet » note Thomas. « La suralimentation des

veaux a causé des problèmes de diarrhée dans le passé. » Une litière de sable pour les veaux pendant l’été a grandement réduit la présence de mouches.Toute entreprise a son lot de défis. Pour les Judd, le plus récent défi fut la construction de la nouvelle étable et ils sont présente-ment à planifier la succession. Le déclin de la connaissance de l’agriculture et des pratiques agricoles au sein de la population en général est aussi inquiétant, ainsi que l’étalement urbain sur leur ferme. « Notre plus grand succès fut de regarder la prochaine génération grandir et prendre les rênes de la ferme » dit Fred Judd. Dans l’avenir Meadow Lynn voudrait étudier la traite robotisée. Pour l’industrie, ils aimeraient voir le lait produit être consommé plus localement et qu’il y ait plus de recherche sur le goût et l’effet de la pasteurisation sur l’acceptation par le consommateur du lait pasteurisé. Meadow Lynn est membre de Jersey Canada depuis son tout début. Les programmes et services dont ils profitent sont l’enregistrement électronique des veaux, la tenue du livre géné-alogique pour s’assurer que leurs vaches soient pures à 100 % et l’assemblée générale annuelle et la conférence – pour socialiser et pour solidifier leurs liens à la communauté Jersey. « Notre adhésion à Jersey Canada donne de la crédibilité à notre troupeau et à notre entreprise. Elle nous a permis de vendre des vaches et des embryons au Canada et à l’étranger » dit Thomas. •

It is scary how much debt the dairy industry has taken on and

how tight farmers are cash flow wise. It will be very challenging for my generation to be

successful in the future, especially if interest rates eventually rise and operating expenses continue to

increase. It is very important that farm families focus on succession planning as soon as possible to ensure that open and strong communication exists. It is also

imperative that both generations understand that the young farmers cannot pay “full

price” for all of their parents assets. ~ Jennifer Peart ~

Maple Leaf’s Favourite Jerseys ~ Jerseys préférées de Maple Leaf

Situated on 700 acres in Haldimand County, are Maple Leaf Jerseys and Peartome Holsteins. Doug and Mary-Ann Peart and their daughters Heather and Jennifer Peart, who are fourth genera-tion dairy farmers, operate both entities in partnership. As stated in the 2014 Faces of Farming calendar by Farm and Food Care Ontario: “There was never any doubt in the minds of sisters Heather and Jennifer that they were going to be dairy farmers. They both studied agriculture at the University of Guelph and bought their first farm together seven years ago. Jennifer milks cows early in the morning before going to an off-farm job. Heather works full time with her parents on their family dairy and crop farm. When they're not busy with farm chores, Heather is an avid crafter while Jennifer enjoys judging dairy 4-H shows at local fairs.”The Jersey herd is housed at Peartome Holsteins and together, the Peartome and Maple Leaf prefix’s are milking 70 cows in a tie-stall facility: 10 Jerseys and 60 Holsteins. Hutches are used for baby calves and a free-stall coverall building accommodates the heifers and dry cows. In crop rotation they grow hay, wheat, corn, and rye, and they will be adding soybeans back into the crop rotation this upcoming year.

The Peart’s experience, progressive nature, coupled with their value for education is reflected in the number of prestigious awards they have earned. Peartome Holsteins is a three time Hol-stein Master Breeder (1990, 1998, 2011), and Maple Leaf Jerseys was awarded Con-structive Breeder in 2012.Maple Leaf Jersey’s current herd clas-sification has reached 3-EX and 12-VG. Pleasant Nook Royal Marlene EX-5* (dam

of 5-EX & 1-VG daughters) was the first Jersey they purchased

from the Pleasant Nook dispersal as an old

cow. “Her only ET daughter was Maple Leaf Mys-tery EX-91-4E-8* by J Imperial - my first registered

heifer calf, born August 2000 under

the Maple Leaf prefix and she is now dam of

3-EX and 8-VG daughters,” states Jennifer Peart, “all of

my Jerseys today trace back to Mys-tery.” It is Jennifer’s goal to breed more Excellent Jersey cows, win the Breeders Herd class at a local Jersey show, and to breed a first place milking cow at the Royal Winter Fair. •

Sur une superficie de 700 acres dans le comté de Haldimand on retrouve Maple Leaf Jerseys et Peartome Holsteins. Doug et Mary-Ann Peart, ainsi que leurs filles Heather et Jennifer Peart, sont de quatrième génération de producteurs laitiers et gèrent les deux entreprises en partenariat. Comme mentionné dans le calendrier 2014 ‘Faces of Farming’ créé par Farm and Food Care Ontario : « Il n’y a jamais eu de doutes dans l’esprit des deux sœurs, Heather et Jenni-fer, qu’elles seraient des productrices laitières. Elles ont toutes deux étudié en agricul-ture à l’Université de Guelph et ont acheté ensemble leur pre-mière ferme il y a sept ans. Jennifer fait la traite du matin avant d’aller travailler à l’extérieur. Heather tra-vaille à temps plein avec ses parents sur la ferme famil-iale laitière et de grandes cultures. Lorsqu’elles ne sont pas occupées aux tâches de la ferme, Heather est une artisane passi-onnée tandis que Jennifer s’occupe des juge-ments d’expositions laitières 4-H aux foires locales. »Le troupeau Jersey est logé chez Peartome Holstein et, en tout, les préfixes Peartome et Maple Leaf ont 70 vaches en lactation dans une étable attachée : 10 Jerseys et 60 Holsteins. Des huttes sont utilisées pour les veaux naissants et un bâtiment à recou-vrement textile contient les génisses et les vaches taries. Dans la rotation des cultures

on retrouve du foin, du blé, du maïs et du seigle; des fèves soya seront introduites dans la rotation dans l’année qui vient.L’expérience des Peart, leur nature progres-siste ainsi que leur goût pour l’éducation se reflète dans le nombre de prix prestigieux qu’ils ont reçu. Peartome Holstein a gagné trois fois la bannière de Maître Éleveur Hol-stein (1990, 1998, 2011) et Maple Leaf Jerseys a reçu le prix d’Éleveur émérite en 2012.

La classification actuelle de Maple Leaf Jersey a atteint

3-EX et12-TB. Pleas-ant Nook Royal Mar-

lene EX-5* (mère de 5 filles EX & 1 TB) fut la première Jersey achetée lors de la dispersion de Pleas-ant Nook en tant que vache mature.

« Sa seule fille TE fut Maple Leaf Mystery

EX-91-4E-8* par J Impe-rial – ma première génisse

enregistrée, née en août 2000 sous le préfixe Maple Leaf

et elle est la mère de 3 filles EX et 8 TB » dit Jennifer Peart. « Toutes les Jerseys que je possède aujourd’hui descendent de Mystery. » C’est le but de Jennifer d’élever plus de vaches Jerseys excellentes, de remporter la classe de Troupeau de l’Éleveur à la foire locale et d’élever la vache qui remportera la première place de vache en lactation à la Foire Royale d’hiver. •

C’est épeurant de voir la dette accumulée par l’industrie

laitière et combien la rotation d’argent est serrée pour les agriculteurs. Ce sera un défi pour les gens de ma génération de réussir dans

l’avenir, surtout si les taux d’intérêt augmentent et que les dépenses continuent leur hausse. C’est très

important que les familles agricoles se concentrent sur la planification de la succession aussitôt que possible pour s’assurer d’avoir une communication solide et ouverte.

Il est aussi impératif que toutes les générations comprennent que les jeunes agriculteurs ne peuvent pas payer « plein prix » pour tous

les avoirs de leurs parents. ~ Jennifer Peart ~

Rich Valley Jerseys was established in 1975, the year Chris and Val-erie Richardson were married. Chris originally grew up on a Hol-stein farm but the family later learned that his great grandfather, Christopher Richardson, had tattoo letters registered with Jersey Canada. Valerie is a third generation dairy farmer whose father was well known Jersey breeder Ken Ella. Chris and Valerie’s son Ken is a financial analyst in the corporate world, and plays an important role in financial management, consulting and planning for the fu-ture. The farm operates as a 50/50 partnership, with one part-time employee, relief milkers and custom operators who are brought in for silo filling and combining.Rich Valley is currently milking about 35 purebred registered Jer-seys. They are classified 9-ME, 6-EX, 26-VG, and 6-GP, with an av-erage score of 87.1, and are close to a lifetime classification goal. Over 27 Star Brood cows have been bred or developed within their ‘Johne’s free’ tested herd. The Richardson’s breed for type, with an emphasis on cow families with strength in udders, components and longevity. They use approximately 95% young sires in their selection and Chris does all of his own AI work. The herd is visited monthly to maintain animal health.The farm sits on 200 acres of Haldimand County clay, with 80% of the land being workable and the remainder for pasture, facilities, bush and a pond. The herd is fed a ration of corn silage, balage and dry hay, which is tested and laced with a supplement and balanced by a nutritionist. The purchase of a hay splitting knife has greatly influenced milk production enabling the feeding of balage on a daily basis, and proven by two ‘most improved’ BCA awards. With the exception of severely cold and windy days, the milk cows are fed corn silage in an outdoor exercise yard for 1 1/2 hours per day. The tie-stall dairy barn is equipped with a pipeline system. A sepa-rate calf barn is used for winter calf raising, and from April to De-cember calf hutches are used with private fenced runs. All other livestock such as open heifers, short bred, and dry cows, are housed in open-air buildings in different lots. From open calves to dry cows, the cattle have access to a ‘lick tank’ containing 42% liquid protein provided by Liquid Feeds International Ltd.. Springing dry cows are brought into the dairy barn three weeks prior to calving and are fed a special ‘springing’ ration.As soon as calves are licked dry, they are removed and fed pre-packaged colostrum and placed under the heat lamp in a hutch or calf barn depending on the season. They are fed small amounts of milk twice a day for one week, and a third feeding is added at lunch time thereafter, slowly increasing their intake. Fresh water and grain is available and encouraged within three days of birth, and at eight weeks they begin a step-down weaning program. The calves are kept in hutches as long as possible before being grouped with an even number of animals (2,4, or 6 calves depending on the pen size). This philosophy is based on wisdom shared by fellow Jersey breeder, Bill Fletcher: “everybody needs a buddy.”

Rich Valley has been a member of Jersey Can-ada s ince i n c e p t i o n of the farm. The pedigree d a t a b a s e , managed by Jersey Can-ada, is an important herd management tool that the Richardson’s access frequently. It is not the mind set of Rich Valley to ask what Jersey Canada or Jersey Ontario can do for them, instead they ask themselves what they can do to help build and promote the Jersey breed on behalf of both of these associations. Rich Valley Jerseys is a Voluntary Support Member (VSM) of Jersey Ontario where Val-erie is current President of the Association, and has followed in her father’s footsteps where Ken Ella was President in 1969. When look-ing to purchase the farm years ago, they were told by lenders to: get rid of the Jerseys, breed the Jerseys to beef, or to buy replace-ment Holstein heifers. They chose not to listen.With the importance of biosecurity, visitors are logged and Rich Valley insists on plastic boots if required. They are in the process of installing security cameras for the safety of the animals and farm. The reintroduction of ‘all Jersey products’ is something both Chris and Valerie would like to see. Future plans for the Richardson’s in-volve ‘when and how’ to disperse the Rich Valley herd, and their advice to young people starting out or taking over the family farm: “Follow your heart, trust your gut and listen carefully to the advice of others! Ask those who have experience and don’t put too much weight in a ‘how-to’ book.”Although Rich Valley is no longer actively showing, they continue to breed if they were. Rich Valley GG Selina VG-87 was shown at the 2014 Ontario Spring Discovery Show where she won Best Bred and Owned and placed second as a Senior 2-Year-Old and claimed Best Udder. Selina is a direct decendant from highly decorated Rich Val-ley Advance Sara 12L SUP EX-2E who won the 1985 Grand Cham-pion and Best Udder at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair. •

The Oprah’sDébutée avec Fircrest A R L Oma, une famille reconnue pour la force des pis, sa fille, Rock Ella S A Olive fut achetée par le père de Valerie au OIS 1973 et offerte à Chris et Valerie pour débuter leur troupeau. Rich Valley Connection Orry, Ex 91-5E est la cinquième génération d’Excellentes. Rich Valley Duaiseoir Oprah, Ex 90-2E, une fille de Rich Valley Expert Oprah Sup-Ex 90-8E, et Fircrest A R L Oma sont parentes avec Rich Valley MC Top Oprah EX-2E, qui fut aussi Réserve Tout Canadien 4 ans et s’est placée au second rang à la Royal en 1992.

Rich Valley Jerseys fut établi en 1975, année où Chris et Valerie Richardson se sont mariés. Chris a grandi sur une ferme Holstein mais, plus tard, la famille a appris que son arrière-grand-père, Chris-topher Richardson possédait des lettres de tatouage enregistrées auprès de Jersey Canada. Valerie est de troisième génération de producteurs laitiers dont le père est un éleveur de Jerseys reconnu, Ken Ella. Le fils de Chris et Valerie, Ken, est analyste financier dans le monde corporatif et il joue un rôle important dans la gestion financière, la consultation et la planification pour l’avenir. La ferme est gérée en partenariat 50/50 et a un employé à temps partiel. Des employés sont utilisés à l’occasion pour la traite et des travailleurs à forfait s’occupent de remplir les silos et des battages.Il y a présentement environ 35 Jerseys pur-sang enregistrées en lac-tation chez Rich Valley. La classification est de 9-ME, 6-EX, 26-TB et 6-BP avec un score moyen de 87,1, ce qui est près du but ultime de classification. Plus de 27 vaches souches ont été élevées ou dével-oppées au sein de leur troupeau certifié ‘sans Johne’s.’ Les Richard-son misent sur la conformation, mettant l’emphase sur les familles de vaches démontrant de la force dans les pis, des composantes et de la longévité. Ils utilisent les jeunes taureaux à environ 95 % dans leur sélection et Chris fait l’insémination lui-même. Une visite mensuelle maintient la santé du troupeau.La ferme repose sur 200 acres d’argile dans le comté de Haldiman, 80 % en cultures et le reste pour les bâtiments, le pâturage, des arbres et un étang. Le troupeau reçoit une ration d’ensilage de maïs, de foin humide et sec qui est testé et complété d’un sup-plément conseillé par un nutritionniste. L’achat d’un couteau à foin a grandement influencé la production de lait, permettant de servir des balles de foin enveloppées chaque jour. La preuve en a été faite avec deux prix pour la ‘meilleure augmentation’ de MCR. Sauf les jours de très grands froids, les vaches en lactation reçoivent de l’ensilage de maïs dans un parc d’exercice extérieur pendant 1 heure et demie quotidiennement. L’étable laitière attachée est équipée d’un système de lactoduc. Une étable séparée pour les veaux est utilisée en hiver et, d’avril à décembre, des huttes avec des parcs clôturés privés sont utili-sées. Tous les autres animaux, comme les génisses non saillies ou fraîchement saillies ainsi que les vaches taries, sont logés dans un bâtiment ouvert dans différents parcs. Des veaux sevrés aux vaches taries, les animaux ont accès à un réservoir à lécher contenant des protéines liquides 42 % fourni par Liquid Feeds International Ltd. Les vaches taries sont ramenées à l’étable laitière trois semaines avant le vêlage et reçoivent une ration spéciale.Dès que les veaux sont léchés, ils sont séparés de leur mère et on leur donne du colostrum pré-emballé. Ils sont placés sous une lampe chauffante dans une hutte ou dans l’étable à veaux, selon la saison. Ils reçoivent ensuite un peu de lait deux fois par jour pen-dant une semaine et ensuite, un troisième repas est ajouté à midi, augmentant doucement la quantité. De l’eau fraîche et du grain

sont disponibles et encouragés après les trois premiers jours suiv-ant la naissance et à huit semaines, ils commencent le programme de sevrage. Les veaux sont gardés en huttes le plus longtemps possibles avant d’être groupés en nombre pairs d’animaux (2, 4 ou 6 selon la grandeur du parc). Cette philosophie est basée sur une observation partagée par un autre éleveur de Jerseys, Bill Fletcher: « on a tous besoin d’un ami. »Rich Valley est membre de Jersey Canada depuis le tout début de la ferme. La base de données des généalogies, gérée par Jersey Canada, est un outil important de gestion de troupeau et les Rich-ardson la consulte souvent. Ce n’est pas dans la nature de Rich Val-ley de se demander ce que Jersey Canada ou Jersey Ontario peut faire pour eux mais ils se demandent ce qu’ils peuvent faire pour construire et promouvoir la race Jersey au nom de ces deux as-sociations. Rich Valley Jerseys est membre supporteur volontaire (MSV) de Jersey Ontario où Valerie est présentement Présidente de l’Association, elle qui a suivi les traces de son père, Ken Ella, qui fut président en 1969. Lorsqu’ils étudiaient l’achat de la ferme il y a plusieurs années, les prêteurs leur ont dit : débarrassez-vous des Jerseys, élevez des animaux de boucherie ou achetez des animaux de remplacement Holstein. Ils ont choisi de ne pas les écouter.Avec l’importance de la biosécurité, les visiteurs chez Rich Valley doivent s’inscrire et porter des bottes de plastique au besoin. Ils sont à installer des caméras pour la sécurité des animaux et de la ferme. Chris et Valerie aimeraient bien voir la réintroduction de ‘produits tout Jersey.’ Dans l’avenir, les Richardson planifient ‘quand et comment’ disperser le troupeau Rich Valley. Ils conseil-lent aux jeunes débutant ou reprenant la ferme familiale : « Suivez votre cœur, faites confiance à votre instinct et écoutez attentivement les conseils des autres! Demandez à ceux qui ont de l’expérience et ne croyez pas tout ce que vous verrez dans les livres. » Même si Rich Valley ne participe plus aux expositions, ils continu-ent leur élevage de la même façon. Rich Valley GG Selina TB-87 fut exposée lors de l’Exposition Ontario Spring Discovery 2014 et a remporté ‘Best Bred and Owned’ (Meilleure - Élevée par le proprié-taire) et la seconde place Senior 2 ans et Meilleur pis. Selina est une descendante directe de la maintes fois décorée Rich Valley Advance Sara 12L SUP EX-2E qui a remporté le Grand Championnat et Meil-leur Pis à la Royal Agricultural Winter Fair en 1985. •

DERNIÈRES NOUVELLES DE jerseycanada.com

Entre les éditions imprimées de l’Éleveur de Jersey canadien, nous publions de la nouvelle information sur jeseycanada.com. Nous communiquons également par courriel. Si vous ne recevez pas nos courriels et voulez toujours ‘être au courant’ inscrivez-vous à nos nouvelles électroniques en envoyant votre adresse courriel à [email protected].

Step 1: Select a professional graphic designer. You should study their logo design portfolio and view their work. Look for recurring themes in logos and make sure that each logo is unique. Some graphic designers do their busi-ness on the Internet and this al-lows you to find many resources.Step 2:The next step is to look at logo design prices, terms and condi-tions, guarantees and refund policies. In the field of graphic design, you get what you pay for, so you want to be sure that you can afford the professional graphic design logo services that you are looking for.Step 3:After deciding on a provider, go ahead and order your service or call for a quote. A simple email with your idea(s) will suffice. The graphic designer will gather as much information as they can from you and they will need to know if you have any ideas of your own. They will also need to know what your business name is, the area your business is in-volved in, and if you have any key phrases or terms that you would like incorporated.Step 4: The next step is allowing the graphic designer to do their magic. Depending on what type of package you have chosen they will come up with several designs for you to consider. You will then have a chance to make changes and provide feedback. If you don’t like any of the de-signs, they will start the process over until you are satisfied. Once you decide on a design they will make any necessary revisions based on your package/needs. It is very important to ensure that you receive the graphic design logo in a variety of formats (i.e. jpg, tiff, vector) so the logo can be used on anything from stationary and social media, to a farm sign or the side of a vehicle. Make sure these formats are included in the logo package you select.

5 principles oflogo design

1. Simple2. Memorable3. Timeless4. Versatile5. Relevant

Pictogram (= a symbol, icon or avatar)

Wordmark (= the name of your company)

Tagline (= a brief description of your farm/product, or a slogan)

The Building Blocks of a Logo Whether you are thinking of a logo for your farm sign or for various marketing initiatives, before you get started with the design/redesign you have to decide which type of logo is suitable for your farm.

Together, these 3 entities should represent a clear, recognizable synopsis of your business. With one quick glance at your logo one should be able to see what your farm does and who you are.There are different logo types depending on how the above three components are combined:1. Typographic logoThe logo consists only of a word/letters (= wordmark). No symbol/pictogram is used.

2. Figurative logoThis is a combination of a wordmark and a symbol. The symbol is a figurative representation of something (not abstract).

3. Abstract logoThe combination of a wordmark and a symbol, but this time the symbol is not a realistic but rather a visual interpretation of a subject/concept.

4. A combined logoThe combination of several of the above logotypes is applied.

Simple LogosIn a very practical sense, a complicated logo isn’t easy to reproduce. What may look great on a sheet of paper may become blurry when printed on a small business card and suddenly resembles a blotch when printed on a pen. A complicated logo is also more difficult to remember. Think of the most famous logos: the Nike swoosh, Coca-Cola’s simple red script, or McDonald’s golden M - all of these logos are simple, easy to recognize and remember.Appropriate LogosA logo should be appropriate for the company it’s representing, this doesn’t necessarily mean it should be obviously tied to it though. The ToysRUs logo, although doesn’t actually have any toys in it, is very appropriate for the company with its childlike script and bright colors. Examine your logo design to see if it’s complementary and appropriate or if it conflicts with your company image/message in any way.Memorable LogosYou want your logo to be unique yet memorable. You want people to see that logo and instantly know who you are. There is no question when you see ‘the swoosh’ that it belongs to Nike or that the ‘green mermaid’ is Starbucks. By keeping your logo simple and appropriate you move much closer to achieving one that is easy to remember.

Étape 1: Choisissez un designer graphique professionnel. Cherchez les thèmes récurrents dans les logos et assurez-vous que chaque logo est unique. Certains designers graphiques font affaire sur inter-net et ceci vous permet de trouver plusieurs ressources.Étape 2:La prochaine étape est de vérifier le prix du design, les termes et conditions, les garanties et la poli-tique de remboursement. Dans le monde du design graphique, vous obtenez ce pour quoi vous payez. Il faut donc vous assurer que vous pouvez vous permettre les services professionnels de de-sign graphique de logo que vous recherchez.Étape 3:Après avoir choisi un fournisseur, commandez le service ou deman-dez une soumission. Un simple courriel avec vos idées suffira. Le designer graphique ramassera le plus d’informations possible sur vous et demandera si vous avez déjà des idées. Il voudra aussi savoir le nom de votre entreprise, votre champ d’expertise et si vous voulez des slogans ou des mots in-tégrés à votre logo.Étape 4: La prochaine étape est de per-mettre au designer graphique de faire son travail. Selon le type d’entente que vous avez choisi, celui-ci vous présentera plusieurs dessins. Vous aurez alors la chance d’apporter des changements et de faire vos commentaires. Si vous n’aimez aucun des designs, le processus recommencera jusqu’à ce que vous soyez satisfait. Une fois le design choisi, les révisions nécessaires seront faites selon votre entente ou vos besoins. Il est très important de vous assurer que vous recevrez votre design de logo dans plusieurs formats (i.e. jpg, tiff, vector) pour que le logo puisse être utilisé sur plusieurs supports comme la papeterie et les médias sociaux, l’enseigne de la ferme ou sur le flan d’un véhicule. Assurez-vous que tous ces formats sont inclus dans votre entente initiale.

5 principes dulogo design

1. Simple2. Mémorable3. Intemporel4. Versatile5. Pertinent

Pictogramme (= un symbole, icone ou avatar)

Indice de mot (= le nom de votre compagnie)

Signature (= une brève description de votre ferme/produit ou un slogan)

Les pièces d’un logo Que vous pensiez à un logo pour l’enseigne de votre ferme ou pour toute autre initiative de marketing, avant de commencer ou de revoir le design, vous devez décider quel type de logo est approprié pour votre ferme.

Ensemble, ces trois entités devraient représenter un synopsis clair et reconnaissable de votre entreprise. Avec un seul coup d’œil à votre logo, on pourrait savoir ce que fait votre ferme et qui vous êtes. Il y a différents types de logos selon la combinaison des trois composantes ci-haut :1. Logo typographiqueCe logo ne consiste que d’un mot ou quelques lettres (= indice de mot). Aucun symbole ni pictogramme n’est utilisé.2. Logo figuratifC’et une combinaison d’un mot et d’un symbole. Le symbole est une représentationfigurative de quelque chose (pas abstrait).3. Logo abstraitLa combinaison d’un mot et d’un symbole, mais cette fois le symbole n’est pas réaliste mais plutôt une interprétation visuelle du sujet/concept. 4. Logo combinéLa combinaison de plusieurs types de logos est employée.

Logos simplesD’un côté pratique, un logo compliqué n’est pas facile à copier. Ce qui peut très bien paraître sur une feuille de papier peut devenir flou lorsqu’imprimé sur de petites cartes d’affaires et, soudainement, ça res-semble à une tache lorsqu’imprimé sur un stylo. Il peut être difficile de se souvenir d’un logo compliqué. Pensez aux logos populaires : le cro-chet de Nike, l’écriture rouge simple de Coca-Cola, le M doré de McDon-ald – tous ces logos sont simples, facile à reconnaître et à mémoriser.Logos appropriésUn logo devrait être approprié pour la compagnie qu’il représente, mais cela ne signifie pas nécessairement qu’il doit y être relié complètement. Le logo de ToysRUS, même s’il ne contient pas de jouet, est très ap-proprié pour la compagnie car il est enfantin et de couleurs voyantes. Examinez le design de votre logo pour voir s’il est complémentaire et approprié ou s’il est en conflit avec l’image et le message de votre com-pagnie.Logos mémorablesVous voulez un logo unique mais mémorable. Vous voulez que lorsque les gens voient ce logo, ils savent instantanément qui vous êtes. Il n’y a aucun doute que lorsque vous voyez ‘le crochet’ qui appartient à Nike ou la ‘sirène verte’ de Starbucks. En gardant votre logo simple et approprié, vous vous approchez d’un logo dont on se souvient facilement.

« Une marque forte atteint votre public visuellement

et émotionnellement avec la culture et les valeurs de votre compagnie. En tant

que designer, j’aime le défi de développer une image intelligente, stratégique et

mémorable pour mettre en valeur la marque d’une

compagnie par le graphisme ou une illustration. »

Voici un aperçu du profil statistique de la vie agricole au Canada.•2,7 - nombre d’heures de plus par jour qu’un jeune du milieu agricole

passe à travailler, incluant sur la ferme, en dehors de la ferme ou travail non rémunéré comparativement à un jeune de la population générale.•57 % - la proportion de tous les étudiants inscrits à un programme

agricole en 2008/2009 qui étaient des femmes.•20 % - la probabilité qu’un agriculteur possédant un diplôme universi-

taire travaille en dehors de la ferme comparativement à un agriculteur sans diplôme.•205 730 – le nombre total des fermes au Canada (2011) – une baisse de

26,5 % depuis 1991.•23 % - augmentation de la grosseur des fermes d’une moyenne de

598 acres par ferme en 1991 à 778 acres en 2011: tandis que le nombre de fermes incorporées est en hausse, la proportion des ces corpora-tions qui sont la propriété de famille est aussi en hausse.•5,4 % - l’augmentation générale du nombre de producteurs agricoles

biologiques au Canada entre 2006 et 2008.•27,5 % - la proportion des agriculteurs au Canada qui sont des femmes

(2011) - même si on rapporte que beaucoup d’autres sont essentielles à la prise de décisions et à la gestion quotidienne de la ferme.•54 - l’âge moyen des agri-

culteurs au Canada (augmenta-tion de 12 % depuis 1991) - ceci est inquiétant car seulement une ferme sur cinq rapporte avoir établi un plan de succession (2007).•4,3 & 3,1 - la taille moyenne

d’une famille agricole selon les recensements en 1971 et 2006, respectivement.•22 % - la plus grande hausse

annuelle rapportée de la val-eur du terrain agricole (2013) ~ l’investissement en capital req-uis pour l’achat d’actifs agricoles comme le terrain, la machinerie, la technologie ainsi que les dépenses d’opérations sont des barrières financières potentielles rencontrées par la prochaine génération d’exploitants de fermes familiales.•Les fermes familiales ont des avantages uniques de d’autres entre-

prises essaient souvent d’imiter. Elles ont typiquement un plus haut niveau de dévouement envers leur travail que les autres fermes à cause de l’impact direct du succès de la ferme sur leur unité familiale et il en résulte le bien-être des personnes qui ont un fort lien émotion-nel.•1/3 - l’utilisation d’employés rémunérés pour faciliter l’agriculture et

la production d’aliments. •Quelques 20 000 travailleurs saisonniers participant au Programme

des travailleurs agricoles saisonniers (PTAS) chaque année. Certaines fer-mes familiales remplissent les manques de personnel en embauchant des travailleurs saisonniers de l’étranger et, même s’ils gagnent plus d’argent et ont une meilleure sécurité d’emploi au Canada qu’ils pour-raient avoir dans leur pays d’origine, l’emplacement rural pose un défi linguistique et de mobilité significatifs qui augmente les sentiments d’isolation et de stress amplifiés par l’absence de leurs familles.

The statistical profile of farming life in Canada.•2.7 - the number of hours more per day that farm youth

spend working, including farm, off-farm, and unpaid work, than youth in the general population.•57% - the proportion of all students enrolled in agricultural

programs in 2008/2009 that were women.•20% - the greater the likelihood that a farm operator with a

university degree will work off-farm compared to a farmer without a degree.•205,730 - the total number of farms in Canada (2011) – a

26.5% drop since 1991.•23% - size increase of farms from an average of 598 acres

per farm in 1991 to 778 acres in 2011: while the number of corporate farms is on the rise, the proportion of these corpo-rations owned by families is increasing.•5.4% - the overall increase in the number of organic farm

producers in Canada between 2006-2008.•27.5% - the proportion of farm operators in Canada that are

female (2011) – although it is reported that a great many more are key decision makers and contributors on the farm.•54 - is the average age of

Canada’s farm operators (12% increase since 1991) – this has raised concerns as only one in five farming op-erations reported having a written succession plan in place (2007).•4.3 & 3.1 - the average size

of a census farm family in 1971 and 2006, respectively.•22% - the largest annual

increase of farmland value reported (2013) ~ capital in-vestments required for pur-chasing farm assets, such as land, machinery, fertilizer and farm technology along with operating expenses introduce potential financial barriers faced by the next generation of family farmers.•Family farms have unique advantages that other businesses

often seek to replicate. They typically have higher levels of commitment to their work than other farms due to the di-rect impact of a farm’s success on their family unit and the resulting well-being of people to which they have strong emotional connections.•1/3 - use hired labour to facilitate farming & food produc-

tion. •Some 20,000 migrant workers participate in the Seasonal

Agricultural Workers Program (SAWP) each year. Some family farms manage labour shortages by hiring migrant farm work-ers from abroad and although they earn more money and experience greater job security in Canada than they might have in their home countries, rural settings pose significant language and mobility barriers and feelings of isolation and stress are magnified with the absence of their families.

Family Farms in Canada Just the Facts

Fermes familiales au Canada Les faits

economic necessity is driving farm consolidation, as many

small farms don’t generate enough income to support the

families who own them and bigger farms are better able to manage risk. When farm

income isn’t enough to support a household, off-farm income

becomes more important to the well being of families.

Deep Roots: Families on the farm: a portrait of generations & migrant

workers in Canada, 2014

la nécessité économique pousse la consolidation de la ferme car

plusieurs petites fermes ne génèrent pas assez de revenus pour subvenir

à la famille qui l’appartient et de plus grosses fermes sont plus aptes

à gérer ce risque. lorsque le revenu agricole n’est pas suffisant pour

supporter la maisonnée, un revenu hors ferme devient plus important

que le bien-être des familles.Deep Roots: Familles sur la ferme: Un

The owners of the biggest outdoor farm show in Canada have announced plans to put the business model to work 15 minutes northwest of Saskatoon. Farm publishing house Glacier FarmMedia, of the Wood-stock, Ontario based Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show an-nounced its chosen site and date for the inaugural edition of what it’s dubbed 'Ag in Motion: Western Canada’s Out-door Farm Expo' (http://aginmotion.ca/). The company will host 'Ag in Motion' on a 320-acre site near Langham off Highway 16, from July 21 to 23.“The property was actually farmed last year so you can get a really good sense of what that equipment or what that vari-ety of crop can do because it’s there in the setting you’re most familiar with, versus being inside a building or on a concrete pad,” show director Rob O’Connor told the Manitoba Co-operator, “It won’t be hard to understand how that product will look in your field or on your farm.”Farmers visiting the demonstration-focused event will see over 300 exhibitors showcasing their products and services in an 'interactive' format. “It’s one thing to buy new products

for your farm after reading about them; it’s another to see them in action side-by-side,” the com-pany said.With Saskatoon’s central location, 'Ag in Motion' is situ-ated to attract farmers from across Western Canada and the northern U.S. - ultimately in numbers similar to the ever successful Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show, which drew about 42,800 people in September.Glacier, whose farm journals include the Co-operator as well as Country Guide, Grainews, the Western Producer, Canadian Cattlemen, Alberta Farmer and le Bulletin des Agriculteurs, came to the AG trade show business in 2011 when it bought Guelph-based Canada’s Outdoor Shows Ltd.For an expanded version of this posting visit: http://www.agcanada.com/daily/outdoor-farm-show-owner-sets-sights-on-saskatchewan

On December 4, 2014, the Manitoba Jersey Cattle Club (MJCC) held its 87th Annual General Meeting. MJCC’s breakfast and AGM has become a Thursday morning staple at the Manitoba Dairy Conference. Those in atten-dance started their day with a hearty breakfast and had the opportunity to catch-up with fellow Jersey enthusi-asts. MJCC was particularly privileged to be in the com-pany of both Dairy Farmers of Manitoba, Chairman David Wiens, and recent Ralph J. Barichello Award recipient, Dick Heapy. President Steven Smith chaired the annual business meeting and used his address to challenge members to continue to breed their herds to be profitable and com-petitive with other dairy breeds. Jersey Canada Past Presi-dent, Matthew Graye, shared with members information about the national Jersey scene, and extended an invita-tion to attend the upcoming National Jersey Convention in Quebec this March.

Following the election of the 2015 Board of Directors, the meeting concluded with friendly competition. The winners in the six different age categories for 2014 were owned by six different herds. As is now tradition, the two awards celebrated for Manitoba’s Top Production Herd and Top Classifying Herd for 2014 were revealed later that evening at the Manitoba Dairy Conference’s main ban-quet. To receive their awards in a crowd of 531, Graylane Holsteins and Jerseys claimed the prize for 'top classifica-tion', with Delichte Farms Ltd. receiving the trophy for 'top production'. Manitoba’s Jersey community would like to thank all Jer-sey Canada members and sponsors who participated in the 2014 National Convention in Winnipeg. It was a privi-lege to host with many great memories created. Despite the cold temperatures, the warmth of Jersey friendship made for a great event.

In August of 2006, Linda and I travelled to Italy for both a holi-day and to connect with Linda's family. We met aunts, uncles and cousins - some of whom we had never met. After returning home we started thinking of revisiting. Two years ago we discovered that the European Jersey Forum was going to be hosted by Jersey Italia - and the collection of air miles was on! Cows and Italy what could be better! The Forum was to be held in two parts: three days in the north near Cremona, and two days in the south in Bari. We planned to join the north portion since we could also visit Linda's family in the Venice region. October 22, 2014 finally arrived and we found ourselves ‘en route’ to Venice, with a drive to the host hotel at Someone on Lake Garda. That evening we met people from the U.K., Jersey Island, Switzerland, Denmark, Norway and France, as well as the host Italy. After 36 hours without sleep, we prepped ourselves for Cremona Farms the following morning. Cremona hosted a show with both Holstein and Jersey cattle as well as a large machinery exhibition. Although the Jersey component was small, the qual-ity was quite high with a daughter of Iatola being named Grand Champion. Winning the Junior Heifer class was a Topeka heifer, bred by Jersey Canada President, Mathieu Larose and owned by Paolo Borello. Three heifers from five embryos made Paolo a very happy customer. Missing the bus allowed us some time to tour Sirmione, a medieval town complete with its own castle, moat, a museum and ruins of a village built in 450 AD.The farm tours began the next morning with a visit to the Bram-billa family herd, cheese factory, and farmers market. The farm has a milking herd of 240, with 700 hectares all certified organic. The cheese was also processed on the farm. Some of the product

was then sold through their own farmers mar-ket with other invited vendors of vegetables, meats and wine. The lunchtime samples were quite delicious. The afternoon brought us to DeVizzi Jerseys and Holsteins. This young couple operates a rented facility milk-ing 200 cows in the Po Valley. Here they make a raw milk cheese that is marketed locally. This followed by more cheese and wine tasting. Day three took us to Ferrarini Farms and a Parmigiano Reggiano cheese factory in Reggio Emilia. Ferrarini’s is one of the largest AG industrial groups in Europe. Here they produce milk from ten dairies, Parmigianino cheese, cured hams, balsamic vinegar and wine, employing nearly 1000 people. We toured the Jersey facil-ity where they milk 200 cows. The herd was housed on a bedded pack system. The cheese factory was extremely interesting from the special requirements to be labeled Parmigiano Reggiano, to the copper lined vats, the salting process and the aging rooms. Again more tasting of the high quality products that they make. We left the group after this stop as they were making their way to Bari for meetings and presentations on the coagulation of Jersey milk, as well as a genomic report from Herby Lutz of Select Sires. We sincerely appreciated the overwhelming hospitality of Jersey Italia and the making of so many new friends. I believe the next forum will be part of the World Jersey Dairy Conference hosted by Germany and touring the Netherlands, Switzerland and Denmark. We are once again diligently collecting those air miles! •

En août 2006, Linda et moi sommes allés en Italie en vacances et pour visiter la famille de Linda. Nous avons rencontré oncles, tantes, cousins – certains que nous n’avions jamais rencontrés. À notre retour, nous pensions déjà y retourner. Il y a deux ans, nous avons découvert que le Forum Européen Jersey serait tenu par Jersey Italie – et nous nous sommes mis à collectionner les points de vol! Des vaches et l’Italie – quoi de mieux! Le Forum se tiendrait en deux volets : trois jours dans le nord près de Crémone et deux jours dans le sud à Bari. Nous avons planifié nous joindre à la por-tion nord car nous pourrions ainsi visiter la famille de Linda dans la région de Venise. Le 22 octobre 2014 est finalement arrivé et nous nous sommes envolés pour Venise, vers un hôtel de Sirmione sur le Lac de Garde. Ce soir là, nous avons rencontré des gens du R.-U, de l’Île Jersey, de la Suisse, du Danemark, de la Norvège et de la France ainsi que du pays hôte, l’Italie. Après 36 heures sans dormir, nous nous sommes préparés à visiter les Fermes Crémone le lendemain matin. Crémone tenait une exposition pour les animaux Holsteins et Jerseys ainsi qu’une grande exposition de machinerie. Même si le volet Jersey était restreint, la qualité y était avec une fille de Iatola recevant le titre de Grande Championne. Une génisse To-peka, élevée par le Président de Jersey Canada, Mathieu Larose et propriété de Paolo Borella a gagné la classe de Génisse Junior. Trois génisses provenant de cinq embryons ont rendu Paolo très content. Nous avons raté l’autobus ce qui nous a permis de vis-iter Sirmione, un village médiéval avec son propre château avec douves, un musée et les ruines d’un village construit en 450 AD.Les visites de fermes ont commencé le matin suivant avec le troupeau de la famille Brambilla, la fromagerie et le marché. La ferme a un troupeau laitier de 240 bêtes avec 700 hectares, cer-

tifiés biologiques. Le fromage est fabriqué à la ferme. Le produit est ensuite vendu via leur propre marché où d’autres vendeurs sont invités à vendre leurs légumes, viandes et vins. Les échantil-lons au lunch étaient délicieux. L’après-midi nous nous sommes rendus chez DeVizzi Jerseys & Holsteins. Ce jeune couple gère un emplacement loué, avec 200 vaches en lactation dans la Plaine du Pô. Là, ils fabriquent du fromage de lait cru qui est vendu locale-ment. S’en sont suivis d’autres dégustations de vins et fromages. Le troisième jour, nous nous sommes rendus aux Ferme Ferra-rini et à une fromagerie de Parmigiano Reggiano dans le Reggio d’Émilie. Ferrarini est un des plus gros groupe industriel agricole d’Europe. Ici, ils transforment le lait de dix laiteries, produisent du fromage Parmigianno, des jambons, du vinaigre balsamique et du vin. Ils emploient près de 1000 personnes. Nous avons visité une ferme Jersey où 200 vaches sont en lactation. Le troupeau est logé sur un système de litière accumulée. La fromagerie était très intéressante surtout en ce qui concerne les exigences spécia-les pour être reconnus Parmigiano Reggiano, jusqu’aux réservoirs enduits de cuivre, le processus de salage et les salles d’affinage. Encore d’autres dégustations d’aliments de haute qualité qu’ils fabriquent. Nous avons quitté le groupe après cet arrêt et ils se sont ensuite dirigés vers Bari pour des réunions et des présenta-tions sur la coagulation du lait Jersey ainsi que pour un rapport génomique présenté par Herby Lutz de Select Sires. Nous avons sincèrement apprécié l’hospitalité inégalée de Jer-sey Italie et nous nous sommes faits plusieurs nouveaux amis. Je crois que le prochain forum se tiendra en conjonction avec la Conférence mondiale laitière Jersey qui se tiendra en Allemagne et visitera les Pays-Bas, la Suisse et le Danemark. Nous avons re-commencé à ramasser soigneusement tous nos points de vol! •

Des vaches et l’Italie ...quoi de mieux!

Within the farming industry, it is hard to escape the news of a disastrous barn fire or devastating farm accident. To help you plan and protect, one of the advisors on your list should be an insurance profes-sional. Shawna Berry of Jersey Canada (JC) chatted with Dave Eccles, Registered Insurance Broker of Craig McDonald Reddon, to discuss farm manage-ment and risk. We all get busy, but it seems that this is one area that can’t be neglected. Do you feel con-fident with your insurance coverage?JC: What are the major insurance differences with various types of farms? Dave: No two farms are the same. That's why it's important to have someone like myself involved to ensure proper coverage. Insurance brokers look at the entire operation and help the insured deter-mine the value of the property and what coverage is necessary. We insure various types of farms and are not limited to farms with livestock. JC: Most of our readers operate multi-faceted farm-ing operations, what should they look for when choosing insurance needs?Dave: We like to review their total operation and then build the best package around their needs. We are always being mindful of the cost so we may offer different discounts to help, for example, a higher deductible. Our role is to inform the client of the risks that they may face. We do this by dis-cussing what coverage is available, help them de-termine what they want an insurance company to cover, and what level of risk they are comfortable carrying themselves. Higher deductibles are just one affordable way the client may assume some risk, while having coverage to safeguard their as-sets for complete losses. Also, some companies have specialized farming programs. JC: How do you know if you qualify for farm insur-ance? Dave: It depends on the amount of acreage, the number and type of animals, your machinery and facilities. JC: In your experience, what are the most common mistakes when buying coverage? Dave: i) Under valuing items (i.e. buildings, machinery);ii) Not having a full understanding of what's cov-ered and what's not;iii) Not purchasing the required coverage (i.e. busi-ness interruption);iv) Not revisiting the policy on a regular basis (i.e. “I don’t have time to meet with you – just send the policy out in the mail”);v) Not reporting changes to their broker (i.e. buy new equipment but forget to inform broker);vi) Buying insurance strictly on price without re-gards to coverage;vii) Using a broker that is not familiar with farm in-surance. JC: How could these mistakes be avoided?Dave: At least once a year sit down with a knowl-edgeable farm insurance broker. Take the time to understand your policy, and ask questions if you don’t. Your insurance broker’s job is to help you un-derstand what you are buying, so make sure that it is someone that you trust to help you make the

right decisions. It works in everyone’s favour if the client is open and honest.JC: How are farms assessed to come up with their valuation and insurance needs?Dave: We will come out to your farm and assess your assets/investments to make sure that your insurance is tailored specifically to your needs. We know that the needs of a large commercial farming operation are far different than those of a hobby farm, and that poultry farmers need different cover-age than produce or hog farmers. We like to insure the ‘replacement cost’ on buildings and equipment (if applicable). We have ‘cost calculations’ to help us out with this.JC: When should you revisit your policy? Will this cost anything to the client?Dave: At a minimum - annually. I have some farmers that want me to touch base with them monthly due to inventory changes with livestock, commodities, machinery, etc.. Don’t forget to contact your broker if you make any changes, and it never hurts to talk to your broker before you start construction on a new building or if you have expansion plans. There can be implications to your policy, so it is a good idea to involve your broker in the planning stages. At no point are there costs to review the policy.JC: What does a typical deductible look like?Dave: It varies from farm to farm and product to product. A well-established farm with little or no debt may feel comfortable with a large deductible ranging from $2,500 - $10,000. Others may have tighter cash flow and may prefer a $500 - $2,500 deductible. It also depends on the size of your op-eration. Discounts for higher deductibles usually range from 10% to 30%. Your broker can help you determine how much you can save with a higher deductible, and whether or not that makes sense for your situation.JC: What do you do if you feel a farm might be under insured?Dave: First of all I'm not the one that has to pay the premium. We document our conversations that we have with our clients and advise them of our con-cerns, but that's all we can do. At the end of the day, it is my job to make them aware of what’s available, and the appropriate value for their property, but it is still their decision.JC: How do you know you are ‘paying too much’ for your insurance?Dave: We have farms insured from as low as $900 annually, to in excess of a $100,000 annual pre-mium. Everyone thinks they pay too much, the reason being "we are selling a promise". Insurance brokers deal with multiple insurance markets, and if you think you are paying too much, ask your bro-ker to shop different markets. It is ultimately our job to make sure that you are comparing ‘apples to ap-ples’. Don’t cut your coverage or reduce your value without asking your broker’s opinion, and make sure you understand the implications. Remember, when the barn is on fire, it is too late to ask if you are covered correctly. Having proper insurance might be the difference in having to sell the farm versus rebuilding to the position you were in the day prior to the loss. •

Do you feel confident with your coverage?

About Dave:“I grew up on a farm near Holstein, Ontario in Grey County. During the 70’s and 80's my father ran a farm-ing operation of approximately 500 acres, 100 head of beef cattle, 10-15 sows (farrow to finish), and we had about 60 chickens. We would buy cattle from the West as stockers and then feed and finish them.I started in the insurance business in 1989 working as an agent for a small farm mutual in rural Ontario. Although this was a great start, I real-ized there were many facets of insur-ance - all of which they did not offer. By becoming a broker a few years later, I had access to many insur-ance companies, which in turn had a range of options for my clients. From Windsor to Ottawa, I now insure all types of agricultural operations from hobby farms to corporations - such as livestock, dairy, produce, cash crop, solar, bio-gas, contractors, and feed mills. I also insure businesses in man-ufacturing, real estate, and retail. Established in 1977, Craig McDonald Reddon Insurance Brokers Ltd. has of-fices in Hanover, Walkerton, Mildmay and Durham. They have grown from 15 employees in 1991, to a current staff of over 45 people. Farming is cer-tainly a unique business and lifestyle. I seem to have a deep understanding of farm insurance needs and enjoy building cost efficient programs.”

Au sein de l’industrie agricole, il est difficile de ne pas entendre parler d’un feu d’étable désastreux ou d’un accident de ferme dévastateur. Pour vous aider à plani-fier et à vous protéger, un des conseillers sur votre liste devrait être un professionnel de l’assurance. Shawna Berry de Jersey Canada (JC) a discuté avec Dave Eccles, Courtier d’assurance agréé chez Craig McDonald Red-don, pour discuter de gestion de ferme et gestion du risque. Nous sommes tous occupés mais il semble que c’est un sujet que l’on ne peut pas négliger. Avez-vous confiance à votre protection d’assurance?JC: Quelle est la différence principale d’assurance selon les différents types de fermes? Dave: Il n’y a pas deux fermes identiques. C’est pour-quoi il est important que quelqu’un comme moi puisse vous aider à obtenir la meilleure protection. Les court-iers d’assurance étudient toute l’entreprise pour aider les assurés à déterminer la valeur de leur propriété et quelles protections sont nécessaires. Nous assurons plusieurs types de fermes et ne sommes pas limités aux fermes avec des animaux. JC: La plupart de nos lecteurs gèrent une entreprise agricole à plusieurs facettes. Qu’est-ce qu’ils devraient rechercher lorsqu’ils choisissent une protection d’assurance?Dave: Nous aimons réviser toutes leurs opérations et bâtir le meilleur forfait selon leurs besoins. Nous som-mes toujours conscients du coût et nous pouvons donc offrir plusieurs escomptes et, par exemple, offrir une franchise plus élevée. Notre rôle est d’informer les clients des risques auxquels ils peuvent avoir à faire face. Nous y parvenons en discutant des protections disponibles, en les aidant à déterminer ce qu’ils veu-lent que leur compagnie d’assurance couvre, le risque qu’ils sont prêts à assumer confortablement. De plus hautes franchises ne sont qu’un moyen abordable qui permet aux clients d’assumer un risque tout en ayant une protection pour protéger leurs avoirs de pertes totales. Aussi, certaines compagnies ont des pro-grammes sur mesure pour le monde agricole. JC: Comment savoir si vous vous qualifiez pour de l’assurance agricole? Dave: Tout dépend du nombre d’acres, le nombre et le genre d’animaux, votre machinerie et vos installations. JC: Selon votre expérience, quelle sont les erreurs les plus fréquentes lorsqu’on parle de protection d’assurance? Dave: i) Sous évaluation (i.e. bâtiments, machinerie);ii) Ne pas comprendre complètement ce qui est cou-vert et ce qui ne l’est pas;iii) Ne pas acheter les protections requises (i.e. interruption des affaires);iv) Ne pas réviser la police régulièrement (i.e. « je n’ai pas le temps de vous rencontrer, svp envoyer la police par la poste»);v) Ne pas indiquer les changements à votre courtier (i.e. achat de nouvel équipement);vi) Acheter de l’assurance en ne se basant que sur le prix sans étudier les protections;vii) Utiliser un courtier qui n’est pas familier avec l’assurance agricole. JC: Comment éviter ces erreurs?Dave: Au moins une fois par année, asseyez-vous avec un courtier qui connaît bien l’assurance agri-cole. Prenez le temps de comprendre votre police et posez des questions si vous ne comprenez pas. C’est le travail de votre courtier d’assurance de vous aider à comprendre ce que vous achetez donc assurez-vous que c’est quelqu’un en qui vous avez confiance et qui

vous aidera à prendre les bonnes décisions. C’est avan-tageux pour tous si le client est ouvert et honnête.JC: Comment sont évaluées les fermes pour obtenir une évaluation et leurs besoins d’assurance?Dave: Nous nous déplaçons chez vous et évaluons vos actifs/investissements pour nous assurer que votre as-surance est conforme à vos besoins. Nous savons que les besoins d’une grande entreprise agricole commer-ciale sont différents de ceux d’une ferme de loisirs, que les besoins d’une ferme avicole sont différents de ceux d’une ferme de grandes cultures ou d’une ferme por-cine. Nous voulons assurer le ‘coût de remplacement’ sur les bâtiments et l’équipement (s’il y a lieu). Nous avons des grilles de calcul pour nous aider à y arriver.JC: Quand devriez-vous réviser votre police? Est-ce que ça génère un coût pour le client?Dave: Au minimum – une fois par année. Certains ag-riculteurs veulent que je les contacte chaque mois à cause du changement dans les inventaires d’animaux, d’aliments, de machinerie, etc. N’oubliez pas de con-tacter votre courtier si vous faites des changements. Il est toujours utile de parler à votre courtier avant de commencer la construction d’un nouveau bâtiment ou si vous avez des plans d’expansion. Votre police pourrait être affectée et il est donc prudent d’en par-ler à votre courtier à l’étape de la planification. Il n’y a jamais de frais pour la révision de votre police.JC: Quelle est la franchise typique?Dave: Ça varie d’une ferme à l’autre, d’un produit à l’autre. Une ferme bien établie avec peu ou pas de dettes peut être confortable avec une grande fran-chise, s’étalant de 2500 $ à 10 000 $. D’autres où le mouvement d’argent est plus restreint, pourraient préférer une franchise de 500 $ à 2500 $. Ça dépend aussi de la taille de votre entreprise. Des escomptes pour des franchises plus élevées se situent habituel-lement de 10 % à 30 %. Votre courtier peut vous aider à déterminer combien vous pourriez épargner avec le changement de franchise et si c’est une bonne option dans votre cas.JC: Que faire si vous avez l’impression que votre ferme est sous-assurée?Dave: Premièrement, je ne suis pas celui qui doit payer la prime. Nous documentons les conversations que nous avons avec les clients et leur mentionnons nos in-quiétudes – c’est tout ce que nous pouvons faire. Tout compte fait, c’est mon travail de les aviser de ce qui est disponible et ce qui est approprié pour leur propriété, mais c’est le client qui prend la décision finale.JC: Comment savez-vous si vous ‘payez trop cher’ pour votre assurance?Dave: Certaines fermes peuvent être assurées pour une prime annuelle de 900 $ tandis que d’autres ont des primes de plus de 100 000 $. Tout le monde pense qu’il paye trop cher car « nous vendons des promesses.» Les courtiers d’assurance travaillent avec plusieurs marchés d’assurances et, si vous pensez payer trop cher, demandez à votre courtier de vérifier auprès d’autres marchés. C’est ultimement notre travail de confirmer que vous comparez des ‘pommes avec des pommes.’ Ne coupez pas votre protection ou ne rédui-sez pas les valeurs sans demander l’opinion de votre courtier pour être certain que vous comprenez toutes les ramifications. Souvenez-vous: lorsque la grange brûle, il est trop tard pour demander si vous êtes cor-rectement couvert. Avoir une bonne assurance peut faire la différence entre avoir à vendre la ferme et pou-voir la reconstruire au stade où vous étiez le jour avant la catastrophe. •

Est-ce que votre investissement est protégé?

À propos de Dave:« J’ai grandi sur une ferme, près de Hol-stein ON dans le comté de Grey. Dans les années 70 et 80, mon père avait une entreprise agricole d’environ 500 acres, 100 animaux de boucherie, 10-15 tru-ies (naisseur-finisseur) et environ 50 poulets. Nous achetions des animaux de l’ouest et les engraissions jusqu’à la vente.Mon début en assurance s’est fait en 1989 comme agent pour une petite mutuelle agricole dans la campagne ontarienne. Même si c’était un bon début, j’ai réalisé qu’il y avait plus-ieurs facettes à l’assurance – ce que la mutuelle n’offrait pas. En devenant courtier quelques années plus tard, j’avais accès à plusieurs compagnies d’assurance qui, elles, offraient une panoplie d’options pour mes clients. De Windsor à Ottawa, j’assure maintenant tous genres d’entreprises agricole, des fermes de loisirs aux compagnies – des fermes d’élevage, laitières, maraîchères, de grandes cultures, solaires, biogaz, contracteurs et meuneries. J’assure aussi des entreprises manufacturières, des immeubles et des entreprises de détail. Établi en 1977, Craig McDonald Red-don Insurance Brokers Ltd. a des bu-reaux à Hanover, Walkerton, Mildmay et Durham. Ils sont passés de 15 em-ployés en 1991 à un total de plus de 45 personnes aujourd’hui. L’agriculture présente certainement des entreprises et un style de vie uniques. Il semble que je possède une grande compréhen-sion des besoins d’assurance agricole et j’aime mettre sur pieds des pro-grammes efficaces. »

On Saturday January 10th, 2015, Stormont 4-H cel-ebrated an evening of awards in Finch, Ontario. All par-ticipants who showed a Jersey in 2014 received a duffel bag screened with THINK JERSEY on the side. Thank you to Arlene Ross (prefix: Jolene), who contin-ues to inspire these 4-H Jersey youth ambassadors with another amazing gift.

hillSeTT farMS NuPTialS Joey Burnley and Tim Gough, of Hillset Farms were married in Camlachie, Ontario on September 6, 2014. Hillset's Doug and Beth Burnley, and their four children, milk approximately 40 purebred Holsteins in a tie-stall barn. Joey, who has been dairy farming since birth, has raised 1-3 Jerseys within the family's Holstein herd since 2007 (when she also became a Jersey Canada member). The Jersey herd has grown slowly due to only one heifer calf (Rhymont Legacy Violet) and eight bull calves. Rhymont has recently obtained nine Jersey embryos to add more high-functional, type cows to the mix. "My family has been impressed with the Jerseys efficiency, production and high butterfat," comments Joey, "this breed can be a strong asset to any herd."The Rhymont prefix name was inspired from a community in Kenya, Africa where Joey worked in 2010, and from the road where she grew up on. "My dream is to grow a small herd of beautiful and profitable Jerseys - that I can start my own farm with," says Joey, "I am also very interested in showing, so a big goal for me is to represent my cows and farm at the Royal one day." Joey was a very active 4-H member in the Forest Dairy Club (Lambton County), and showed at the Royal with her 4-H youth team. In addition to working the farm, Joey is a substitute teacher for the Lambton Kent District School Board, and Tim works for CN Rail. Joey enjoys the dairy community and is on the Board of Directors for the Lambton County Holstein Breeders Club. Congratulations to Joey and Tim and thank-you for sharing the beautiful photos of your special day.

New Mobile aPP aVailable froM Dhi (Media Release: January 23, 2015 ~ Guelph, ON)

CanWest DHI is pleased to announce the introduction of Mobile DHI, an app designed to provide easy access to herd and cow data at a producer’s fingertips.The app is available for Android and Apple devices, and once downloaded from the App store, producers simply have to contact CanWest DHI for enrolment and details on access-ing their herd data, including a personal identification number (PIN) which controls data access.According to Richard Cantin, Manager of Customer Service for DHI, the ease and con-venience of data access is a key benefit of Mobile DHI. “The adoption rate of smartphone technology is already quite high within dairy producers and is growing rapidly. In particular, younger producers are telling us they prefer retrieving information via their phone versus paper reports or even the internet. Mobile DHI is in response to those changing needs and prefer-ences.”The herd and cow information available through Mobile DHI is essentially the same as what is found in paper reports or electronic data files. At the herd level, producers will find their herd average milk production, components, SCC, BCA's, as well as the ability to look at previous test day averages and graphs of some of the key measures. At the cow level, much of the same production information is available for each cow as well as previous lactation totals. In addition, some cow lifetime information such as age, sire and dam is displayed, as well as basic reproduction information.Andrew Campbell of Bellson Farms, runs a dairy operation with his family and also oper-ates Fresh Air Media, a communications company involved in AG social media and tech-nology. He comments, “I’ve had an early peek at the DHI app and I was impressed. It runs smoothly and the data is presented in a clean, easy to follow format. It’s a great option for farmers looking for that type of tool.” The app can be downloaded free of charge from app stores, however a monthly fee applies for herd and cow data access. For more information, talk to your local DHI representative or contact DHI at 1-800-549-4373.CanWest DHI is a non-profit milk recording organization, providing profitable dairy man-agement solutions to dairy producers across Ontario and Western Canada.

CanWest DHI has announced the offering of the Ketosis milk test. Dairy producers and their advisors understand the importance of a successful transition period and early lacta-tion, and Ketosis continues to be a common problem on many farms. Studies have shown that both subclinical and clinical Ketosis results in lower milk production, higher risk of mastitis and metabolic diseases as well as a negative impact on reproduction - all adding up to significant costs.The new milk test from DHI provides another testing option to help monitor the level of subclinical Ketosis in the herd. “The fact that the DHI sample can now be used makes it incred-ibly convenient,” states Richard Cantin, Manager of Customer Service for DHI.The Ketoscreen test uses the regularly collected DHI samples and measures the concen-tration of beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), a ketone body, which when found in high levels is an indication of the risk for Ketosis. Results from the DHI milk test have been shown to correlate well with on farm BHB tests.As the name implies, the Ketoscreen service is meant to be a herd screening tool that provides an overview and trend of the ketosis status and risk in the herd. Dr. Todd Duffield, well known Ketosis expert from the Ontario Veterinary College comments, “The priority should be on prevention through best management of the dry and early lactation period, it is important to remember that due to the DHI testing frequency, many cows will miss being BHB tested by DHI in the ideal 5 to 15 days in milk period, therefore, the DHI Ketosis test is best suited as a herd indicator to complement routine on farm cow testing.” For more information, talk to your veterinarian, nutritionist, and local DHI representative or contact DHI at 1-800-549-4373.
