Please use Placing Class Card for the next three sections.

Phase E -- Pedigree Evaluation

Refer to Appendix C (Heifer Pedigrees) to rank the animals based on their pedigree and

indicate your ranking on the answer sheet.

#1 Lot 3 Viking Valley Goldenboy Tala

#2 Lot 4 North Star Dragon Trinket

#3 Lot 7 Sun-Made HP Jetway Vanna ET

#4 Lot 8 Sun-Made Dalley Trickle

Phase F -- Sire Evaluation

You are a Jersey dairy producer who wants cows that have good, well-attached udders, sound

feet and legs and a long productive life as these cows do best in your system. Furthermore, you

prefer cows with high production and high combined fat and protein. You may want to show

some heifers as your children are now in 4-H and FFA. You currently have a large group of

breeding age heifers that you would like to breed to the same bull with the hope of being one of

the first dairy producers to have several milking daughters on the next “hot” bull. Consequently

you want to use one of the following four sires who only have a genomic proof. Using

Appendix D which sire should be your first, second, third and fourth choice to use on these

heifers.

#1 JC #2 Marvel #3 Vernon #4 Voltage

Phase G -- Culling Class

You milk in a tie-stall barn and want to keep a milking cow in every stall and not have to shift

cows in and out to get them all milked. All dry cows are housed elsewhere. You sell high

volumes of high quality milk with emphasis on reproductive efficiency. You had a first-calf heifer

calve this morning and you want to cull one of the following four cows to make room for this

fresh heifer. Use the attached DHI-103 Cow Pages (Appendix E) to place the cows in the

order that you would cull them from your herd. The first cow you would cull should be ranked #1

and the last cow you would cull should be ranked #4.
