Hello Dairy Friends! I am Jenna Chapman your 2017 Iowa Holstein Princess! I was excited to be crowned the ambassador of the Holstein breed for Iowa in February of this year. Last year I also helped in representing the Holstein breed as an alternate with Sally Hamlet and Jessica Stempfle. This year I am the sole princess and am looking for-ward to serving you! By now most of you have your crops in the ground and are at least thinking about what you may want to show at the events coming up this summer! I can’t wait to help out whenever I can by handing out ribbons and talking to anyone I can about how great our dairy products are. Recently, I had the honor of being able to help out the Court-ney family by handling sales slips at their dispersal. It’s been fun getting to know the families that my parents have talked so highly of over many years. The next generation has a lot to learn from these knowledgeable dairy experts! Currently I am thee Agronomy intern at the local coopera-tive and taking a summer class at the community college while on break from Iowa State University. This summer I will be participat-ing in the Iowa Dairy Princess competition at the Iowa State Fair. I look forward to your support and great times to be had this year. Good luck and safe travels to wherever dairy may lead you! Have a great summer!Yours in dairy,Jenna Chapman

President’s Perspective As I write my first President’s message I immediately think of all the Holstein activities we have coming up during this busy time of year. The National Conven-tion will be June 27 – July 1 in Bellevue, Washington. I’d like to wish all the Iowa Juniors that will be competing in contests the best of luck. Our association is very proud of our strong Junior membership and I know we will be well represented in Washington! Our Iowa delegates who

will be representing you at the National Convention will be Sheri Regan-Danhof, Dan Moon, Kathleen Scott, and myself. If you have any comments or concerns about our national association please let any one of us know. Summertime is also show season with county fairs, district shows, state show and state fair all coming up. The State Show will be held in West Union on July 18 and 19 in conjunction with the District 1 Show and we look forward to a big turnout. The show committee has worked hard making plans to ensure a great show. We also welcome anyone to come and watch the shows and enjoy the fellowship. I hope to see everyone at the state picnic which is scheduled for August 26 at Stempfle Holsteins, Maynard and Scottmore Hol-steins, Westgate. Committee meetings and the Board meeting will be held that day as well. A strong association is developed from strong committees. This is everyone’s chance to contribute to the success of our association’s future. I look forward to serving you as President. If anyone has any ideas or concerns please contact me. The Executive Committee is currently working on ways to improve our state sale. We are plan-ning a meeting Monday night, July 17th, of state show week to dis-cuss future plans for the state sale. Everyone is welcome. Any sug-gestions can be expressed at that meeting or to any member of the Executive Committee at any time. Hope everyone enjoys their summer and please take the time to participate in all these activities. It a great chance to visit with fellow Holstein enthusiasts, be involved, get new ideas and take a little time off from the daily grind to enjoy life!

WhydidyoudecidetoattendNICC? I decided to attend NICC because of its ad-vancement in technology compared to other colleges I visited. I admired the three different types of milking styles being used which are parallel, herringbone, and robotic. I also liked the small sized classes and the courses that were available. Whathasbeenyourmostmemorablecollegeexperience?My most memo-rable college experience was winning the World Dairy Expo Judging Contest and placing 3rd overall individual. Whathasbeenyourfavoritecourse? I don’t have a specific favorite course, but I did enjoy my animal health lab and animal reproduction lab. In these courses I got to work hands on with dairy animals at the Dairy Foundation. Whatareyourfuturecareergoals? My future career goals are to work for a com-pany promoting agriculture, such as Midwest Dairy Association. I want to continue my passion with dairy in promotions and communications.

If the cow is in transfer, clarification from National must be known. 3. Iowa state health rules and regulations must be observed. Health papers and registration certifi-cates must accompany the animals, and be provided to show management for checking prior to one hour before the starting time of the show. 4.

Breeder Defined: The owner of the dam at the time of service shall be considered the breeder of the animals. Where a herd is registered in the names of different members of a family, and where the herd is one unit, and everyone is using the same prefix, all entries may be considered as exhibits of one breeder. Otherwise, when animals are bred in partnership, each unique partnership is considered a unique breeder. 6.

Districts with less than 50 head entered may combine classes 4 & 5, 6 & 7, 12 & 13, 14 & 15, and 18 & 19. 3. Classes at District Shows will be placed numeri-cally. 4.

The Iowa Holstein Show will begin at 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday, July 19 at the Fayette County Fair-grounds, West Union. The heifer classes will show first followed by the cow classes. 5. Verification of production for Class 20 is nec-essary. It is the exhibitor’s responsibility to provide a copy of form DHIA-203 to the Show Management. 6. An animal cannot be exhibited in any other State Show prior to the Iowa State Show. D. special rules Applying to the iowa Junior Holstein show: 1.

Hence, the Ju-nior Advisory committee does not approve the use of substitute showmen except in extreme cases. if a youth is injured or seriously ill at the time of the show or is involved in another activ-ity with a non-flexible schedule at which their presence is mandatory, the youth may submit an application for a substitute showman. The substi-tute showman must be a Holstein junior member and approved in advance of the show by the advi-sory committee. 9.

For the Best Udder of Show, the judge will se-lect one cow in each class, then the winner will be selected from that group. 11. Showmanship classes will be held at the completion of the show with the following order: se-niors, intermediates, then juniors. The Showmanship classes will be divided into three classes. The junior division will be for exhibitors 9-12 years of age as of January 1 of the current year. Intermediate exhibi-tors will be 13-16 years of age as of January 1 of the current year. Senior exhibitors will be 17-21 years of age as of January 1 of the current year. The award can be won by an exhibitor only once in each divi-

National Directors’ Report

Holstein USA held its March board meet-ing on March 30th and 31st in Brattleboro, VT. Prior to the board meeting, the Audit Committee met at the Hartford airport. They reviewed the audit report ending December 31, 2016. HAUSA has a very strong financial position. At the board meeting, a report from the Show Committee approved the judges list and the nationally recognized shows. The performance review of the 2016 business plan was also discussed. Activities and per-formance followed the trends that developed throughout the year. Participation in Holstein Complete is continuing to increase as more members see its benefits. The IT rebuild con-tinues to be a “work in progress”. Every effort is being made to make this update beneficial to all parties – breeders, field staff, and office staff. This is truly a team effort! The Nominating Committee nominated Boyd Schaufelberger for President. Candi-dates for Vice-President: John Bierbaum, Minnesota, Jim Burdette, Pennsylvania, and Corey Geiger, Wisconsin. Region Three nomi-nees are Gerald Smith, Illinois, and Steve Moff, Ohio. Dale Drendel, Illinois, is running for his second term as director-at-large. A By-Law amendment will be presented at the 2017 National Convention concerning ani-mals who are located in or who are imported from countries without an official herd book. For more information before the annual meeting, contact your local board member. Complete results will be given after the con-vention. Looking to the future, the board and staff continue to discuss the project, “Holstein USA,Inc. . 2030 and Beyond”. It is obvious that our national association, as indeed, the entire dairy industry, will look very different in the future. This discussion helps us think ahead with an open mind and prepare for the future. As always, your input is very welcome!Your directors, Mark, Paul, Boyd, and Dale

June 2017 Iowa Holstein Herald 15

Hall of Fame AwardTrent Henkes, Luana Trent Henkes used to get mad at his folks because they wouldn’t wake him up on Saturdays to do chores. He was very excited to fi-nally be able to join 4-H at age 10 and show his junior calf. When he was 12, his dad purchased a registered heifer. The rest is history! His junior career included winning junior and senior show-manship at the county, district, Big 4 Fair and Cattle Congress. Some champion animals were achieved along the way. Dairy judg-ing was a big part of his youth including winning the state 4-H contest in 1977. Trent went on to coach many 4-H teams. Under his guidance, there were 6 champion senior and 4 champion junior teams. This included several high individuals. Countless workouts have been hosted for 4-H, FFA and college teams-even out of state teams at Henkeseen Holsteins. Local dairy promotion at the county level has been commit-ment for over 35 years. As a member of the Dairy Promotion Com-mittee, Trent has held the office of president twice. The first time, he spearheaded a drive to build a new dairy bar at the county fair. Annually it serves about 10,000 hand dipped shakes over a 4-day period. Along with another member, he started the Kiddie Calf Show. It was important to him that it be a true showmanship class and learning experience for the over 50 children who participate each year. Henkeseen has provided Share-A-Heifers when asked. Being a dairy superintendent at the 4-H show which has had as many as 250 head is yet another testament to Trent’s commitment to local youth. Henkeseen Holsteins has regularly consigned to local, state, out-of-state and national sales. They have exhibited at county, dis-trict, state and national shows. Trent has held the offices of president, secretary and treasurer at the county Holstein level throughout the past 25 or more years. They have hosted county and state picnics and barn meetings. A special highlight was Expo week which brought many foreign visi-tors to the farm. He has also served in different capacities at the dis-trict level holding the offices of secretary and treasurer. He served on the Junior Advisory committee helping to revive junior activi-ties at the district level. Trent’s state level involvement includes 16 years on the state board and 15 years on the Executive Committee, serving on all standing committees chairing the Junior and Herald committees. He also is one of the Holstein representatives to the PDCC. In 2001 he co-chaired the Souvenir Program committee and Henkeseen was a stop on the Host Day tour. Trent served as vice chairman of the 2014 National Convention when Iowa hosted and was once again a stop on Host Day having almost 500 visitors to the farm that day. In 2015, the farm hosted a tour for the National Red and White Convention. Some of Trent’s past recognition includes Na-tional Distinguished Young Holstein Breeder, District 1 and Iowa Outstanding Young Holstein Breeder and Iowa State University Dairy Science Club Honorary Member. The Henkeseen herd has been on DHIR test for 65 years and has a rolling herd average of 24,741 pounds of milk, 911 pounds of fat and 779 pounds of protein on 68 cows. They are enrolled in Holstein Complete and classify every 7 months with the latest clas-sification in May resulting in a BAA of 110.5 with 23 EX, 28 VG and 11 GP. Trent has bred 131 EX cows of which 4 are EX-94 DOM and GMD. He has developed 21 Gold Medal Dams and 22 Dams of Merit. Henkeseen has received the PBR Herd Award for 17 years and the Progressive Genetics Herd Award for 18 years. The cornerstone of the Henkeseen herd are Henkeseen Mark

Marci and Henkeseen M Hillary - back-to-back 94 point Gold Medal Dam and Dam of Merits cows. Henkeseen M Hillary has 12 EX daughters. Over 50 bulls have been sold into AI from this family. Direct sons include Hillcrest, Emperor, Hilton, Ham-mer, Hadley and High Impact. Tracing back to Hillary include Sanchez, Emphasis and Mesland Duplex. Red was bred into the family with great success and approximately 25% of the herd is Red & White. Family is very important to Trent. The farm has always been a family operation. He met his wife, Leslie at Iowa State University where they both graduated with Dairy Science degrees. He has in-stilled his passion for dairy farming and especially Registered Hol-steins in his two children. Matt is home farming with his father and is proudly the 6th generation to farm at Henkeseen. Leah is mar-ried with two children and works for Fitzgerald Inc., a dairy equip-ment dealer. He has brought a whole new meaning to the word Papa! His grandsons adore him and can’t wait to come to the farm and help Papa drive tractor and feed calves.

Regan is a caregiver to the newborn calves on the farm in pro-viding feedings, aids in milking twice daily, and contributes to the responsibilities of managing records and registration of the dairy heard. The Iowa Junior Holstein Association has provided Regan with various opportunities as he has been active in showing in the State Junior Holstein show. In the showring he has recieved honors of Jr All Iowa and Res. Jr All Iowa. He has attended the Iowa Junior Holstein Conventions and has enjoyed visiting with friends from across the state. He attended his first National Holstein Convention at the age of six weeks, when Iowa held the 2001 National Convention in Ce-dar Rapids. In recent National conventions he has attended he has represented Iowa Juniors in dairy jeopardy, public speaking and quiz bowl. Regan is a sophomore at Western Dubuque High School where he is involved with Future Farmers of America and football. He is also active in 4-H, judging and showing dairy at the county and state fair, where he has received numerous honors in showmanship and placings. His most exciting accomplishment has been placing as high individual, and his team placed first at the North American Int’l Livestock Expo 4-H Dairy Judging Contest in Louisville, KY. In his spare time he enjoys working with his animals, and spending time with his family and friends. Benjamin Scott is the 16-year-old son of Mike and Kathleen Scott of Westgate. Their family milks 140 registered Holstein cows in a free-stall barn with two robotic milkers. Ben is responsible for maintenance and managing the barn in his parents’ absence. He also helps milk for Jake and Rachel Mills in their tie-stall barn and assists with the day-to-day chores on the farm. The Iowa Junior Holstein Association has given Ben many op-portunities for showing at District and State Junior Shows and at-tending the State and National Conventions. The highlight of his showing career was in 2015 when he exhibited the Reserve Jr. All-Iowa Jr. 3-year-old and Reserve Intermediate Champion. He has worked hard to improve his clipping skills and this past year fit all his animals for show. After starting with a calf in 4th grade, Ben has grown his dairy herd to six head.

Paul was born and raised on the family farm. Their first regis-tered Holstein was purchased as a heifer at a sale and was consigned by Mark Schlitzer in the late 1970s. One thing called for another, and since they now had a registered Holstein, they now needed a pre-fix. On his way to school one day, Paul’s son, Tom, noticed a street named Morningview, and he de-cided that should be their farm prefix. That was just the beginning of the success of Morningview. The herd has received the Progressive Genetics Herd Award for 24 years, the Progressive Breed-ers Registry Award for 20 years, and they received the National Herd of Excellence Award in 2008 and 2009. Morningview currently has a rolling herd average of 25,130 4.0% 1055 3.2% 804 on 135 registered Holsteins. The October 2016 classification resulted in 19 EX, 60 VG, 45 GP and 4 G with a BAA of 107.6. They try to use the best genomic bulls possible. They start their screening process from the TPI list putting a lot of emphasis on health traits, especially SCS. Also, they want to still try and breed a cow that has the potential to score excellent. Paul was a regular consignor to state and national sales, and the farm continues to consign to several sales each year. They have hosted three Magic of Morningview Sales that were all very successful. The last one was a tag sale in 2013 which averaged $10,696. Morningview has had several well-known cow families through the years. However, they are probably best known for Morningview Converse Judy EX-93 GMD DOM and her family. They have also had several bulls enter AI through the years, and currently King-boy at Select Sires is the most popular who traces back to their Crockett-Acres Drhm Mae-ET VG-87 GMD DOM family.

Some people probably have wondered with so many excellent animals in their herd, why didn’t they ever exhibit their Hol-steins. But if you know the Schmitt Family very well, you also know that they love their sports. Baseball season and the show sea-son hit at the same time, and baseball won out. Paul was a founding member of the Rickardsville Field and Athletic Club. Not only did Paul and Kay’s children play ball, but Paul was even their coach for baseball and basketball some years. In fact, Paul and Kay never missed any of their chil-dren’s sporting events, even if meant milk-ing cows at 2 pm and then again at 2 am the next morning just so they could attend their children games. Paul once said, “Our happiest accom-plishments have definitely been when we have made sales - whether it was a cow to a breeder, a bull into AI or an embryo that was exported - and that purchase became a success for the new owner.” Paul was a member of St. Joseph Parish in Rickardsville, Iowa. Paul struggled with coronary artery disease and a genetic heart defect for 32 years. Paul died on January 4, 2014. Paul is survived by his wife of over 50 years, Kay; four children and their spouses - Steve (JoAnn), Tom (Donna), Peggy (Tom) and Tim (Kim), and 11 grandchildren.

St. Ansgar Economic and Development Committee, and volunteer at the St. Ansgar Good Samaritan Center. The GGG Holstein herd was used for numerous college, FFA and 4-H judging team workouts. Roger and his wife Florence enjoyed golfing, having golfed in seventeen states, Scotland and England. Roger and Florence traveled to 48 states and 8 different coun-tries. Roger was a Sergeant at Fort Riley, Kansas, who trained new recruits on the artillery range for 18 months during the Korean War. David Gerard Knipper, 56, of Marion, and formerly of Dyersville, Iowa passed away Tuesday, May 9, 2017, from compli-cations of Angiosarcoma of the liver diag-nosed December 2016. A Mass of Christian Burial was held on Saturday, May 13, 2017, at St. Francis Xavier Basilica in Dyersville. When Dave was diagnosed with cancer he didn’t let that cancer rule him. He ruled it. Dave’s ‘herd was formed’ and helped him work through his bucket list, and supported him through his journey. He worked up until the day he died, letting nothing stop him. Along with this, he continued to cheer on Andrew and the Hawkeyes, and usually was the loudest fan in the stands. Euchre was his favorite card game, and he never liked to lose. Dave was very proud of the work he did to ensure the success of the dairy and beef farmers that he helped throughout the years as a salesman for Prairie State/ Select Sires. He was very proud of his four-legged wives. Dave was very active in the District 8 and the Iowa Holstein Associations serving on the state board for 12 years. Dave was someone who always put others first, willing to help out when need-ed, and was a strong religious man. He did not inherit his father’s handy man skills, and was lovingly called “The bolt breaker” by his family. He was many times seen as a human jungle gym to all of his nieces and nephews. Dave, the son of Larry and Katie (Ho-sch) Knipper, married Victoria Thiede on August 4th, 2001 in Dyersville. Survivors include his wife, son, Andrew Harrison, siblings: John (Deb) Knipper of Clear Lake, IA, Michele (David) Kucharczyk of Onalas-ka, WI, Jude (Stacy) Knipper of Elk Horn, NE, sisters in-law: Shirley (Mark) Sing-sank of Dyersville, Audrey Spangenberg of Dallas TX, and Barbara (David) Michel of Preston IA, and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his father and brother, Peter.

Midwest Holsteins, Summer 2017 - 21

Andy Dougherty, 21, is the son of Ron and Julie Dougherty of Epworth, Iowa. He has two younger sisters, Alyssa and Amanda. Andy grew up just a few miles from Farnear Holsteins which his grandparents, Joe and Virginia Simon started in 1962. Now his uncles Tom and Rick Simon and families own and operate Farnear Holsteins. Andy states that Farnear Holsteins is what “a family farm is all about.” Spending time on the 120 cow Registered Hol-stein herd with 300 replacements has taught Andy responsibility, dedication, and hard work and has made him who he is today. Andy started his involvement with the Iowa Holstein Asso-ciation when he showed a calf in the novice class at his district show. He continued showing Holsteins at the district and state level. Andy participated in various contests at the National Junior Holstein conventions. He has competed in Junior and Senior Dairy Bowl, Junior, Intermediate, and Senior Jeopardy, Digital Historian, and the State Scrapbook Contest. He was also a 2013 YDJM Final-ist. Andy has served as Treasurer, Reporter, Digital Historian, and District 8 representative of the Iowa Junior Holstein Association. This summer, Andy will represent Iowa in his last year as a Junior member in the senior jeopardy contest in Washington. Currently, Andy is a junior at Iowa State University majoring in Dairy Science. He is involved in the Iowa State Dairy Science Club. He helps with the ice cream mixing, Dairy Coalition, and Intramurals. Andy is also a member of the Agricultural Market-ing and Management Organization. This past summer, Andy had completed an internship for R-John Holsteins in California. He currently works for Farnear Holsteins during school breaks and on weekends when he is home. After graduation from Iowa State, Andy would like to pursue a career in the A.I. industry. He wants to continue building his herd of registered Holsteins and promoting the Dairy Industry. He plans to become actively involved with the Iowa Holstein Association af-ter completing his Iowa Junior Holstein membership.

Kate Stewart, 20, is the daughter of Matt and Diana Stewart from Oel-wein, Iowa. Along with her four older siblings, Jared, Lindsey, Mike, and Dan, Kate grew up on the 295-acre fifth generation family farm. Following in her brothers and sisters’ footsteps, Kate became active in the Iowa Junior Holstein Association at age 9. She participated in Junior Quiz Bowl, Junior and Intermediate Jeopardy, Folding Display Contest, Prepared Public Speaking, and Scrapbook. These events allowed Kate to explore the history of the Holstein breed, to see how far it has come, and to dream of where it will go. “My adventure began with the Holstein cow. It has taken me to my fair share of shows, inspired me to share the dairy farmer’s story as the 2015-2016 Iowa Dairy Princess, and has allowed me to help raise hundreds of dollars for the Great American Milk Drive. But my adventure didn’t end when I left for college, I’ve climbed mountains in Panama to visit dairy farms and learn the farmer’s stories, I’ve visited farms in China and learned how policies impact an industry. My love for the Holstein cow has given me a world view, broadening my vision and instilling in me a passion for help-ing people,” Kate Stewart said. “Being a member of the Iowa Junior Holstein Association has shown me that no obstacle is too great when you are surrounded by a community that is continuously working together for the better-ment of the product, animal welfare, and their neighbors. Having had the opportunity to travel and speak with farmers from across the country at National Holstein Conventions it became evident that it wasn’t just the Iowa Junior Holstein Association that had this support, it was simply how the dairy community worked.” Currently, Kate is a sophomore at Iowa State University dual majoring in Global Resource Systems and Agronomy. She is ac-tively involved in the Iowa State Blood Drive, Global Health and AIDS Coalition, and Dairy Science Club – especially volunteer-ing with Food at First, helping serve meals to those in need in the Ames community. She is also an ambassador for the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Global Resource Systems, and the Peace Corps. Kate is currently serving as the Vice President of Community Service for Kappa Delta Sorority as well as leading a small group for St. Thomas Aquinas Church. This summer, Kate will be in Uganda with the Iowa State Uni-versity – Uganda Program. Along with students and faculty, she will be developing a school garden for an elementary school in the Kamuli District, teaching curriculum in agriculture, science, and nutrition to grades 1 through 7, as well as participating in one or more bi-national team projects that support the school garden pro-gram such as irrigation, beekeeping, and agroforestry. “I am rooted in the dairy community in which I love for that is where my adventure began - with the Holstein cow, and after grad-uation I plan to use my dairy knowledge as well as my knowledge gained from my degrees to best help people in developing coun-tries increase crop and livestock yields in sustainable practices. I can only dream of where my adventure will take me next.”
