Jerseys ... A Lifetime of Profit!
Tired of cows that seem to find ways to cull themselves? Jerseys have been shown in numerous reports in both Canada and the United States to have superior figures for productive life, meaning lower replacement costs for the producer, more calves born on the farm, and greater flexibility to either improve your herd through voluntary culling or to make replacement heifers available for sale in a vibrant market for Jerseys.
In the USA, AIPL has shown Jerseys to have a productive life of 1031 days, compared to an industry average of only 844 days! Similarly, CDN has shown Canadian Jerseys to have an average herd life of 3.6 lactations, 186 days higher than the industry average!
