Re: Member Cow of the Year
Kristen this week, post milking and 400 days into her 7th lactation.
About to make this contest inter-breed. This cow has been the most rewarding for me in 2008. She is a Sambo daughter and was born in 1999. Fordoun Sambo Kristen 2 dominated the local show ring for about four years (I think this photo was taken the first year she was grand at our Royal and ended up winning the gold cup as supreme dairy animal on show.) She repeated the same feat the next year, had a one year hiatus and then took the gold cup again a year later for the third time. She is the only cow every to win supreme dairy animal three times at the RAS. Unfortunately all this and other wins were between Jersey National Champs which only take place every three years. Her (new) owners let her go up to the nationals out of the manager’s insistence more than anything else. The manager couldn’t get away and his young very inexperienced assistant led her in the ring in the aged cow class. Without hesitation Gary Bowers moved her right to the front and she ended up Reserve Senior Cow on the day. Between her last gold cup win and the nationals, the farm and herd had been sold. In less than two years the herd was sold again.
I am on the local Jersey Club committee, at our last meeting in 2007 another member announced he had been tasked with dispersing the herd out of hand and they were not sure what to do with Kristen, she was old, past her prime and in his eyes anyway, essentially a cull. We remarked that there were sure to be people who would want her to flush and get a few daughters from her. He pooh-poohed the idea, so on an absolute whim I said I would take her for R15 000. He said done deal and the sale was made right there around the table with the rest of the committee looking on in mild shock and bemusement. I had got a quiet nod from two other members on the committee who I already owned Jerseys with, as one of them would have to house her etc. Her pedigree is not exceptionally deep, her production records are solid and with the exception of one bad year she had a very regular calving record, interestingly her mother was still in the herd at the time of the sale, so longevity was there. Not too tall, she developed a barrel second to none as an old cow and had an exceptional rear udder, yeah wide and ending just under the fanny. We heard afterwards that two buyers arrived on the farm and she was the first cow both of them asked after.
To cut an already long story short she was heavy in calf to Iatola and produced a heifer within six weeks of purchase. She has been flushed four times in the last year. The first results yielded two Iatola and one Action heifer and three bulls. She was then contract flushed to Iatola for an up country breeder who wanted the whole flush. Unfortunately all the eggs were second and third grade so none could be frozen. The seven eggs were put into recipients and resulted in five pregnancies! The third flush resulted in four pregnancies and a couple of eggs in the tank and we recently flushed her to Centurion and ended up with two pregnancies and 6 eggs in the tank. And just by the by on her first year on a pure TMR system and no calf inside her, she cranked out just over 10 000 kilograms in 300 days. Not bad for a ‘cull’ cow I thought.
Cedarcrest Farms the breeders of Sambo, featured him in one of their back page ads in the American Jersey Journal a few years ago when his daughters were dominating the show ring world wide and included a grazing shot of Kristen. I didn’t breed her, but do take credit for selling the original owner the Sambo semen.

Re: Member Cow of the Year
Three nice nominations so far. Nice jersey smous! As there is a wide spread of cowtalkers from commercial dairymen to breeders of All-Americans it would be nice to have some 'stay at home' cows nominated as well e.g. the profitable non-pedigree cow that has calved every year for the last eleven years or the 100 tonne producer still in the herd ... cows that don't normally get a look in relative to show cows or high profile bulll mothers, but are actually some of the most profitable in the industry.
A few 'numbers' cows would be interesting as well to give everyone a broader selection to vote on than usual....
Are both bred and owned cattle eligible to be entered? Howie32 bred and sold a heifer this year that might do OK....
perhaps a separate heifer and cow class might be an idea?

Re: Member Cow of the Year
LRG, hopefully all breeds are accepted, not excepted, otherwise it wouldn't be much of a competition....

Member Cow of the Year
well my cow hasnt been to any shows and her PI last month was 105 and the average was 91/2 lactations. She went VG85 on her 2nd calf and we will score her again next week.She was born in sept 02 and has 2 heifer calves.We flushed her to richro mark sam on her first calf .She gave 9 number 1s - the first 5 held and I have 3 heifers and 2 bulls in my pens now.She is by duncan progress and came to us in a cow we bought at a complete dispersal for top price. This cow had only ever had heifers(100% GP or better daus) and we lost her and her heifer the 2nd time she calved for us.This raider dau was VG87,then a VG 88 jethro res champ melbourne royal 94 dam of 80% GP daus,2E 1 star brood 6 lactation quiet cove elevation artist who was reserve jnr champ sydney '88 and res champ brisbane "88,a 6 lactation 3 starbrood VG85 locuslane supreme,then 83,85.
her production was 2 lact for 16563l 4.2 %bf, 3.3%p.
this is probably my favorite up and coming young cow that I think would show well if I could only get motivated and is a pleasure to milk.She comes and goes and is never any trouble.I love all her calves and am looking forward to them coming on too.Im sorry I dont have a pic for you.

I'll open up a poll next weekend. Last chance for nominations
Just to clarify are you closing the '2008 ALL COWTALK' nominations on Friday,23 january, evening? We're a bit short of labour here so I probably won't get chance to upload and post photos etc. until later in the week anyway. I am assuming the rules are the same as for the main cow of the year competition - and that we could nominate a brood cow if her progeny performed well in 2008, even if she is deceased (as with Dellia in the main competition last year)?
