2016/2017 NY Brown Swiss Ambassador

Hello Brown Swiss Breeders and Enthusiasts! My name is Kaylah Gulley and I was lucky enough to be
named your 2016-2017 NY Brown Swiss Ambassador. I have been around dairy cattle all of my life but
I first fell in love with the Brown Swiss breed and showing as a Cloverbud 4-Her on my grandparents'
farm. After a couple years of showing their cattle my parents started Classy Creek Farm with the
purchase of Empire Denver Yasmine from Jason DeMay. Our hobby farm includes our foundation cow,
Yasmine, and several of her daughters and grand-daughters, along with some Brown Swiss from
different families. Because of my parents starting a farm of our own, I've developed a deep passion for
agriculture and the dairy industry, especially the Brown Swiss breed. Which has allowed me to be active
in many agricultural leadership organizations such as 4-H, where I lease my heifers to other 4-Hers
interested in showing Brown Swiss, FFA, where I recently retired from being the NYS FFA Treasurer, and
the Washington County Dairy Princess Program. I currently attend SUNY Cobleskill for Agricultural
Business Management and plan on transferring to Virginia Tech for a double major in Ag Business and
Dairy Science. But most important of all, I am extremely excited to represent all of you and the Big
Brown Cow as the NY Brown Swiss Ambassador!

NY Brown Swiss Association Minutes

Saturday, September 3, 2016
The meeting was called to order at 5 pm by President Todd Hyman with 30 members present at
the Syracuse fairgrounds.

Reports:
The motion was made to dispense with the minutes from the previous meeting. Motion was
seconded and carried.
Kathy DeMay reported that there was $8,927.61 as of August 31. In the youth account there is
$4,066.89. Motion was made to accept the treasurers report. Walt Jones seconded. Motion
carried.

National: There is a new Youth Coordinator and the financials are better.

We have a new Ambassador, Kaylah Gulley. We are going to pick the Ambassador at the State
Fair so they have time to be an Ambassador before the National Convention.
The youth got over $2000 from donations this year.

The Charlene Main Scholarship had 3 winners this year! Robin Smithling, Michala Kuhlman and
Kaylah Gulley.

We will be giving $50 to each youth that sends in a professional picture for the Bellringer
contest. All entries get sent to Katie Hill.

We are trying to get a list of sponsors for the National Convention. If you have any ideas please
send them to Todd Hyman.

Walt Jones moved to adjourn the meeting. Don Partridge seconded. Motion carried.

Meeting adjourned at 5:20pm.

Respectfully submitted,
Sarah Robinson
NYBSA Secretary
