2010 Harry Clampitt Young Breeder Award recipient
KELSO, WAsh.
The 2010 Harry Clampitt Young Breeder Award was presented to Jessica Hasheider, of Plain, at the American Milking Shorthorn Society (AMSS) Convention, July 7-10, in Kelso, Wash. She is a pivotal part of her family’s dairy operation, as well as the state organization.
Hasheider has been the secretary-treasurer of the Wisconsin Milking Shorthorn Breeders Association for the past several years. She organizes the state newsletter and is instrumental in helping plan the state sale held each April. In addition, the award-winner helps to organize the hospitality dinner following the show at World Dairy Expo.
Along with her dad and brother, Jessica is part owner of their dairy operation, Little Prairie Farm, which consists of Milking Shorthorns and Holsteins. A Milking Shorthorn advocate who even got her boyfriend Ken interested in Milking Shorthorns, Hasheider consigns and purchases animals at the state sale and enjoys exhibiting them at all levels of competition. Her cow, Riverdale JR, developed into the grand champion at the 2000 Wisconsin State Fair. She also encourages juniors to get involved in showing by allowing them to exhibit Hasheider cattle at local, state and national levels, and has chaperoned at the Wisconsin Junior State Fair.
Classification, production testing, Express program and All-American Contest are just a few of the AMSS programs the Hasheiders participate in.
Hasheider’s herd began with several solid cow families and she has helped to develop and improve upon them with her own breeding. Gold Mine Miss Rose Kali EX-91 was a production and brood cow. Hasheiders Thr Kali Kepske, a Thor daughter out of Kali, is becoming a bull mother and Hasheider’s Keep the Cash (CD by Kepske) is available at Genex. She continues to develop strong cow families, trying new bulls and new crosses to further the genetic base of her herd.
