The value a calf returns to you over her productive lifetime is perhaps the most compelling reason to consider the value of using DRAXXIN ® (tulathromycin) Injectable Solution. DRAXXIN offers superior first-treatment results against pneumonia versus Baytril ®1 or Nuflor. ®2 And it’s the only anti-infective labeled to treat all four bacteria associated with pneumonia in calves—including Mycoplasma bovis. For more information, talk to your veterinarian, Pfizer Animal Health representative or visit draxxin.com. Her lifetime potential makes a difference. Important Safety Information: Do not use in female dairy cattle 20 months of age or older. Do not use in calves to be processed for veal. A pre-slaughter withdrawal time has not been determined for pre-ruminating calves. Effects on reproductive performance, pregnancy and lactation have not been determined.

EACH year, the National <strong>Dairy</strong> Shrine bestows the honor of Pioneer to individuals who have made a lasting impact on the dairy industry. Their portraits will be permanently displayed in the National <strong>Dairy</strong> Shrine Museum in Fort Atkinson, Wis. An industry tracker A life-long dairy producer, Craig Beane was a leader in ways farmers could employ a better record- keeping system, an advocate for herd testing, and a thought leader in the credit system. Craig and his wife, Laura, farmed in Wisconsin for more than 50 years. During that time, they hosted the 1956 Wisconsin Farm Progress Days, opening their farm to about 60,000 people. This event, now called Wisconsin Farm Technology days, remains a leading three-day gathering for education on new advancements in agricultural technology. Maybe his most noted accomplishment, Beane was the founder and first president of the National <strong>Dairy</strong> Herd Improvement Association, Inc., and served on many of its committees. He also served on the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture’s Animal and Animal Products Advisory Committees. Additionally, for 26 years Craig was a monthly columnist for Wisconsin Agriculturalist magazine and also served on the Farm Journal magazine’s <strong>Dairy</strong> Extra panel. In 1971, Craig and his wife, Laura, were honored by the University of Wisconsin-Madison College of Agriculture and Life Sciences with the Outstanding Service Award. Beane passed away on December 5, 2008. Taught life-long skills David Dickson was a pioneering professor emeritus at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who used the art of dairy cattle evaluation to teach life skills to his students. Over his four decades with the university, Dickson used cattle judging as the vehicle to encourage students to make decisions and then stand behind them by presenting a logical discussion on their decisions. His ability to teach these skills was apparent in the results, as his teams won more national oral reasons titles than any other program, 18 reasons titles in 42 years at the national contest. Dickson also created videotapes and manuals detailing proper etiquette of oral reasons which have been translated into Italian and Spanish, making an impact on dairy cat- Industry Pioneers honored by National <strong>Dairy</strong> Shrine tle judging worldwide. Dickson had his own stellar background in judging dairy cattle. He became only the second person in the United States to earn high individual honors at both the National 4-H Cattle Judging Contest and the Intercollegiate <strong>Dairy</strong> Cattle Judging Contest. Dickson also judged more <strong>World</strong> <strong>Dairy</strong> <strong>Expo</strong> shows than any other judge. Beyond judging recognition, Dickson served as Department Head of <strong>Dairy</strong> Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and served on National <strong>Dairy</strong> Shrine and <strong>World</strong> <strong>Dairy</strong> <strong>Expo</strong> committees. His knack for teaching students was recognized in 1996 when Dickson was selected to receive the highly coveted Purina Mills Teaching Award in the first year he was nominated. He passed away on July 9, 2010. Developed a market Serving as a researcher in cheese technology and professor in food science for 38 years, Norman Olson was an outstanding leader with the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the dairy industry. His work had profound influences on the products currently available on grocery store shelves. He focused on work in reduced-fat cheese production, ripening of cheeses, and developing U.S. specialty cheeses. Olson’s depth of knowledge in microbiology allowed him to develop procedures that can manipulate physical properties of cheese, such as degree of melt, stretch, ability to shred or slide, and mouthfeel. He was a true pioneer in developing the specialty cheese market, most notably for Wisconsinstyle Havarti. Many more varieties have followed thanks to Olson’s initial work in this area. In addition to his research, Norm created the Walter V. Price Cheese Research Institute which later became the Wisconsin Center for <strong>Dairy</strong> Research, and has been recognized as the top dairy food research center in the country and among the top five in the world. For his work, Olson has received a variety of awards for his research, teaching, and industry training. He currently resides in Madison, Wis. A.I. entrepreneur Harold Schmidt, a California veterinarian, had great influences on dairy producers throughout the state and the country. His most notable a c c o m p l i s h - ment was in Holstein genetics through his involvement in Around the world of dairy the A.I. business. He purchased a small A.I. center and established Genetics, Inc., one of the only private A.I. breeding organizations at the time. His efforts were instrumental in accelerating acceptance of population genetics superiority. Over the years, Genetics, Inc., transitioned to Carnation Genetics then Landmark Genetics and finally to Alta Genetics. Schmidt also developed the famous Lavacre herd in the 1950s and 1960s. He was a consultant, advisor, and confidant to many Holstein breeders. His intellect and accomplishments made him an acknowledged leader of the Holstein Association of America. Schmidt served on the National Holstein Board of Directors, was a member of the Genetic Advancement Committee, and was instrumental in updating the Holstein True-Type model cow to today’s standards. He currently resides in Rosedale, Va. Forages, fiber, feeding In the field of nutritional ecology of ruminants, Peter Van Soest is considered a groundbreaking thought leader. The long-time professor of ruminant nutrition in the Department of Animal Science at Cornell University, Van Soest was responsible for inventing a new way to effectively measure feed and forage fiber levels. Van Soest is recognized worldwide for his contributions in developing a more accurate evaluation of the nutritional values of feeds and foods, specifically fiber in forages and feeds. He developed the detergent fiber analysis system that has become the worldwide standard for formulation of diets in dairy cattle and other ruminants. This formulate played an integral role in evaluations in the Nutrient Requirements of <strong>Dairy</strong> Cattle (NRC) publications in 1978 and have subsequently been adopted in feed systems around the world. Alongside this groundbreaking finding, Van Soest was active in the development of research models to better understand rumen function. As a professor, Van Soest developed a groundbreaking senior- level course for Cornell students that focused on forages, fiber, and the rumen and taught students to think outside of the box. His unconventional teaching methods and excitement for dairy cattle nutrition led many of his students to pursue careers in this same area. During his tenure, Van Soest supervised the research and education of over 50 graduate students. He currently resides in Alpine, N.Y.
