Looking back...

Guernseys known for gentleness, quality milk

By Ruth NicolausMidwest Messenger

Because of the rich yellow color of their milk, the Guernsey breed is sometimes nicknamed the “Golden Guernsey.”

Although decreasing in numbers, the breed is known for its docility and high butterfat and protein content.

Tradition says that the breed originated on the Isle of Guernsey, in the English Channel off the coast of France. In the late 900s, Robert, Duke of Normandy, sent a group of militant monks to the island to educate the natives in farming

and to defend the island. The monks brought the best French cattle — Norman brindles, known as Alderneys, and the Froment du Leon breed of dairy cattle from Brittany. From these two breeds, the Guernsey appeared.

The Guernsey breed was fi rst recorded as a separate breed around 1700, with imports of foreign cattle into Guernsey forbidden by law in the late 18th century, to maintain the purity of the breed.

Craig and Gladie Church of Cresco in northeastern Iowa, have been in the dairy

Returning to the scene of the prime

By Jon BurlesonMidwest Messenger Reporter

When he was but a yonker, Gary Lambrecht presented cattle in the premiere stock show event in the Midwest — the prestigious Aksarben Stock Show in Omaha, Nebraska.

“It was the Super Bowl of livestock shows,” Lambrecht said. “It was one of the highlights of my life growing up.”

Since 1928, the stock show has been a signifi cant event in the area. According to the show’s organizers, hundreds of youth — ages 9 to 19 — participate in the annual Aksarben Stock Show. They come from 14 states, including Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Minnesota, Montana, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin Wyoming and Arkansas. The competitors show cattle, sheep, swine and goats.

Lambrecht said he remembers participants used to load up the livestock onto fl atbed trucks and have a parade through downtown Omaha. Caniglia’s and Mrs. C’s and other top-quality restaurants would attend and display photos of the champions they had purchased, processed and sold at their establishments.

business for years, raising Guernseys. The high butterfat and protein content of the milk makes up for the lower volume that Guernseys produce.

“Holsteins out-produce Guernseys,” Craig Church said, “But when you start to factor in the solids in the milk, they are still quite competitive. The components of their milk bring the price up enough so that Guernseys are comparable.”

Another Guernsey dairy is located in Wahoo, Nebraska, with Melisa Konecky being the third generation of her family to raise the breed. She fi gures the cows in the family’s herd average a butterfat content of 4.9%. (The Churches have a butterfat content of 5.1%).

The higher butterfat and protein makes for better butter and cheese.

“It’s thicker and creamier with not as much fl uid waste,” Konecky said.

The color, caused by beta carotene, is also distinctive. Konecky describes it as “glowy.”

The breed is more effi cient in feed conversion, too, consuming 20-30% less feed per pound of milk produced, compared to larger dairy breeds. On Konecky’s Beauty View Farm, their cows range from 1,200 to 1,400 pounds at maturity.

Guernseys are more likely to produce A2A2 milk, as well. For people who have trouble digesting dairy products but who aren’t necessarily lactose intolerant, A2A2 milk is more easily tolerated. Guernseys have the highest percentage of cows that are A2A2, Church said, with around 80% of the breed producing the more easily digested milk. (Cows can also produce milk with A1 proteins, which can be harder for some people to digest.)

Most Guernsey bulls being used for breeding are A2A2, Church said: “There are very few A1 bulls.”

Because of their chance of giving A2A2 milk, and for the richness of their milk, people who want a “house cow” often choose a Guernsey. Often those who milk a cow for their own use milk it just once a

day, which is fi ne, Church said. “There’s no right way or wrong way to

dairy,” Church said. “Everybody does it different, and cows will adjust.”

Konecky fi elds questions from people wanting to milk cows for their own use, and makes sure that they realize that dairy cows in general need company.

“I ask them, ‘do you have other animals there?’ Because they are herd animals and they don’t want to be by themselves,” she said.

Guernseys are known for their even temperament.

“They are super docile and super friendly,” Konecky said. “They’ll walk up to you and lick you and let you pet them. If they get out, they’re not going to go too far. They stay close.”

She helps area kids show Guernsey cattle at the county and state fairs.

“They are great with kids,” she said, adding that while beef cattle often requires an adult’s help, the gentle Guernsey does not. “For the most part, they are a project they can do by themselves. That’s the goal, that kids do it by themselves. It’s awesome from that perspective.”

The breed is more heat tolerant than Holsteins, she added, because of their color, which is yellow and reddish-brown with white patches.

Both Church and Konecky agree that Guernseys don’t breed back well.

“They’re just not as reproductively sound as you’d like them to be,” Konecky said.

Their reproductive tract is physiologically

deeper than other beef breeds, Church said, although he’s not sure that’s the reason they are diffi cult to breed.

Church and his wife are retiring, passing the business down to their son, Nate, and his wife, Naomi. At one time, they milked 120 cows. Now they are at 80. They also raise hay and corn.

Church is in his second term as a director for the American Guernsey Association board. In 2018, when Iowa hosted the national convention, the Church dairy was one of the tour stops. Gladie was chair of the hospitality committee. Craig is also active in the state association.

Beauty View Farms, the home of the Konecky’s Guernseys, is home to 18 cows. At one time, the herd consisted of 90 cows. She, alongside her parents, Tom Jr., and Sharon and brother, Vince, also raise row crops, alfalfa, and have a small beef cow herd. Her grandfather, Tom Sr., was very active in the national association.

Due March 1, 2021.

This year, he will return to the show which is now held in Grand Island, not as an exhibitor, but as an auctioneer in the show’s Purple Ribbon Auction.

Born in Washington County, Lambrecht is a fourth-generation farmer. Although he has been an auctioneer for 34 years, he is also a life-long farmer and still works the land his parents and grandparents farmed in Douglas County as well as his own acres in Washington County.

Lambrecht started showing hogs and cattle at Aksarben when he was 14 as part of 4-H. He showed for fi ve years. After aging out, Lambrecht volunteered with the hog show and helped them organize and produce the show. He did that for 19 years.

During that time he had graduated high school and was considering going on to college. When Lambrecht informed his father of his plans, his father said if he went away the family farm may not be there when he got back.

After a discussion, his father told him college was a long commitment, but agreed that having something to fall back on might not be a

bad idea. That got Lambrecht thinking of alternatives. He spoke with a local auctioneer who had been in the business for a long time.

“It interested me,” Lambrecht said. “I went to the Missouri Auction School in Kansas City.”

He worked with his mentor for four years, then did benefi t shows for another four years. He got noticed by Heartland Ag Auctioneers who offered him a job. Lambrecht said they specialized in grain and fertilizer dispersal.

“That job included a fair amount of traveling,”

he said. “It worked OK with my farming schedule.”

After 15 years with Heartland, the company closed. Lambrecht said this was due to the owner passing away. The owner’s wish was for the company to shutter after his death, he said. So, Lambrecht decided to start his own company — Pure Country Auctions.

He took a large portion of Heartland’s former employees with him. His wife became (and still is) the cashier for the company.

On Sept. 26, Lambrecht worked the Purple Ribbon Auction of the Aksarben Stock Show. He said there are a lot of great memories associated with the event.

“I’m tickled to death to be doing it,”

Lambrecht said.
