\n1976<\/strong>
\nWhen it comes to success on the show circuit it would be hard to duplicate Pinehurst Farms year of 1976. The show year was mapped out with a purpose of promotion. Seldom seen, the end resulted in the sale of just one animal paying for the entire tab of a show year. A year encompassing ten shows, several thousand miles and enough banners, trophies and wall plaques to fill an already overflowing office wall with memories that would last a lifetime for the players involved.Brilliant and calculating was the leader of an assembled group of very young, some untested, but eager caretakers for a show herd that was a blended mixture of homebred and purchased cattle. When being loaded on the semi each animal had a defined purpose from its own individual potential to a member of a group class that meant so much when promoting herd sires that would be exported for several times the dollar amount that a very large show circuit would cost. Amazing that such a plan crafted to last over five months with so many cattle and people involved came off without a hitch. Considering the youth and unique personalities of the group makes the undertaking even more remarkable.<\/strong><\/p>\n

TOTAL MILES 10,008<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some highlights:<\/em><\/strong>
\nPinehurst Debonair was as close to perfection as you could ever get. When one analyzes his picture, you must remember there was no \u201cphoto shopping\u201d so what you see is what you get, a big, straight, long calf with style to burn and an incredible wide, deep, long and open rib. Debonair was a son of the homebred Pinehurst Copyright from Thorncreek Majesty Sally who was purchased at the Arizona Holiday sale. Sally was the first cow in the barn at Pinehurst and it is from her that Debonair obtained many of his qualities. The undefeated Debonair anchored the undefeated Junior Get as well.<\/p>\n

Ecraso Fond Matt Linda EX-94, was also hard to forget. Bred in Ohio Linda was tall, dairy, abit rough with a nice udder especially when full and mean as a junk yard dog. \u201cLinda\u201d hated being milked, being clipped, being brushed, washed or being looked at. In short Linda was not a big fan of people. At the state show where it was a humid, sultry 95 degrees her escort for the day was Nelson Rehder. \u201cRehder\u201d considered one of the all time great showmen was getting towards the end of his showing career but still a tough customer on the strap. But to say the least, Linda was a handful and big enough to hurt you. The couple made use of every inch of the dance floor and more. And now some 36 years past I can still remember \u201cRehder\u2019s\u201d quote upon exiting the ring: \u201cNext time you race this horse, get a different jockey\u201d. Throughout the year \u201cLinda\u201d had several jockeys. For real excitement milking Linda on the truck was a pure delight, akin to the now popular PBR. It was probably my imagination but I am quite positive that those long white legs were equipped with eyes. For the record Linda did produce the Reserve All American Miss Linda by Copyright for Pinehurst. Miss Linda was bred at the farm but was owned in partnership with Lloyd Boyd thus no Pinehurst prefix.<\/p>\n

Jan Com Fond Matt Matilda EX-97. If you didn\u2019t like Matilda, you didn\u2019t like cows. David Bachmann Jr.\u2019s 4-H cow, Matilda was purchased as an unproved mature cow at World Dairy Expo in 1974. All white and with the most pleasant personality a cow could have, she was loved by everybody and Matilda returned the good feelings. Matilda\u2019s calving that fall just days before heading to the Eastern National would produce the All-American Pinehurst Precious. Also sired by Copyright she was nearly all white and had her momma\u2019s personality. Several times a year when checking out a sale catalog Matilda\u2019s name will appear and memories flood back about this sweet white cow.<\/p>\n

Deppings Royalty Sunset was owned in partnership with the Depping family also of Sheboygan County. Sunset was undefeated and probably holds the record for the number of times being clipped during a show season. \u201cSunset\u201d was David Brown\u2019s pride and joy and hour upon hour was spent by \u201cBrownie\u201d working her beautiful white hair. Sold before the Royal to Italy, \u201cSunset\u201d financed a good part of the 1976 show expenses.<\/p>\n

Pinehurst Winsome Echo EX-95. The Premier Breeder banner was most coveted by Pinehurst and \u201cWinsome\u201d added many points during the year. The epitome of balance and style and always a lady she stood on the end of the cow line at the shows and made a picture perfect greeting for visitors to the<\/p>\n

string.<\/p>\n

Oak Ridge Kellys Rosid EX-967E, is still considered the standard of perfection in the Ayrshire breed and some say for the ideal dairy cow, regardless of breed. In 1975 Rosid was Supreme Champion at Madison and was classified the highest of any Ayrshire cow of all time. Rosid had a distinct personality best labeled as \u201cleave me alone\u201d. One her quirks was a total distain for having her photograph made which added several white hairs to Danny Weaver\u2019s already silver top. \u201cRosid\u201d could and would pin her ears back and nothing aside from an atom bomb could cause even a split second flinch of her ears forward.<\/p>\n

The culmination of the year (although Debonair and Sunset were exhibited at the Royal) was being awarded the Premier Breeder and Exhibitor banners at the Western National show making them the first farm to win both banners at all three shows in the 10 year history of the three National show format. The photo taken after the show was also a history maker as it was the first cover picture of the Holstein World to be of people, no cattle and no scenery.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
