He received a degree in dairy science from Penn State Universi ty in 1963. As an undergraduate, he served as president of the Dairy Science Club, and for three years played baritone hom in the Penn State Blue Band. He also was a member of the Coaly Society. He earned his master’s and doc toral degrees from University of Wisconsin and joined the faculty there in 1967. He became depart ment chair in 1990. His studies of somatic cell count and clinical mastitis led to the recent publication of national sire evaluations for somatic cell score. The scoring system is now being used nationwide. He has also made important contributions to the accuracy of Dairy Herd Improvement Associa tion production records. He deve loped test interval adjustment factors long known as Shook Factors that are used to esti mate an animal’s production in the first and last months of lactation. Shook also developed AM/PM adjustment factors which improve d the accuracy of an estimate of a cow’s 24-hour production from a single sampling at a morning or evening test. The AM/PM test program is becoming the predominant pro duction test program nationwide because it allows DHIA personnel to test more herds at less expense and more convenience for the herd owner. Shook and his wife Nancy celebrated their 25th wedding anniver sary last year and both have sung in the Madi son Symphony Chorus for 22 years, also per forming in the chorus in four productions of the Madison Opera. The couple has a 10-year-old son Kynan, and their two oldest children, Karina and Kent, are undergraduate students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
