Kicking off the evening with a toast to her home club, Kaylena lifted a goblet of milk declaring, “We have a great breed of cattle and a great industry." Maryland Holstein Association President, Joseph Schwartzbeck, announced that the state Holstein convention will be held in Carroll County in February. He also reported that Maryland may host the national Holstein convention in the year 2007. Thomas Dum, Holstein consul tant for the area, said that a computer mating program is scheduled for implementation in January. “The classifier feeds the bull information into the compu ter," said Dum, “which cost less than having a consultant come to the farm." He added, “The mark et is going to be playing an ever increasing part of what the consul tant does. I hope to sell to you and foryou.“ President of the club, John Shank H, and secretary-treasurer Marlin Martin, presented awards for achievement. “Each year we seek to recognize young people who are outstanding achievers,” said Martin. “This year we have chosen Jason Hose because of his performance at Ag Expo." The plaque that Hose received was inscribed with, “Exemplifying Outstanding 4-H Character; In Memory of Kraig Martin."
