It is my pleasure to introduce our updated export market catalogue for
2013. Some of you may have already purchased semen from UK-bred
Jersey bulls, from the UK Jersey Society and Cogent Breedings joint
marketing venture. We appreciate your support and trust that you are
pleased with the results, and will want to place more business with us.
For others, we look forward to attracting you to young sires bred from
dams where their herds have been blended, for at least the last fteen
years, from Jersey genetics across the world. This has given the UK an
impressive female population, combining the merits of production, type,
health and management traits.
We are delighted to be working with Jersey Island Genetics now as
well. Through this link we can make available young bulls with outcross
bloodlines. Island breeders continue to breed bulls from their traditional,
pure, genetic base, and in Bees Knees we have such a bull which is part
of the Cogent Visions young bull proving scheme.
In the UK the use of Jersey semen in cross-breeding,
especially on maiden heifers, continues to become
more prevalent. The Jersey moderates size while adding
hoof health, fertility, milk components and improved
climate tolerance where conditions require it. For
pedigree enthusiasts and commercial herd owners
alike, we seek to offer something different and
special to your breeding programme.

Jersey origins
Jersey cattle originate from Jersey Island the
largest of the Channel Islands, just 14 miles
away from the French coast.
The Jersey breed shares a common ancestry
with the Guernsey and cattle found on the
Normandy and Brittany coasts. The breed can
be tracked back to 6000BC to the Middle East
and even though it is difcult to trace, are
probably descendants from the wild species
Bos Primigenius, a wild savage beast better
known as Aurochs.
There are now 5,000 Jerseys on Jersey Island
in total with nearly 3,000 of these being adult
milking cows.
Jerseys are known to exist in the UK mainland
since 1741 and probably well before. At that
time they were known as Alderneys.
Queen Victoria came to the throne in
1837 and shortly after granted her Royal
patronage upon the Royal Jersey Agricultural
& Horticultural Society (RJA&HS). She visited
Jersey Island with Prince Albert in 1846 and
the following spring the RJA&HS founded the
Royal Jersey herd at Prince Albert Farm,
Windsor, by sending as a gift a two-year old
heifer and a yearling bull with another heifer
to Windsor Home Farm.
The Jersey Herd Book was founded in 1866
by RJA&HS, whereby virtually all Jersey Island
herds became pedigree registered.
Her Majesty the Queen became Patron of the
Jersey Cattle Society for the UK in 1954, thus
continuing the royal patronage that started
with Queen Victoria in the 1800s and today,
the Royal Jersey herd is kept in a new modern
open building facility where the cows are
milked through a robotic system.

History of the breed
English distribution
of the breed
The great distribution of the breed
in England dates back to 1811,
when Mr Michael Fowler from Little
Bushey, Hertfordshire, became a trader
of Alderney, Jersey and Guernsey
cows. Mr. Fowler had four sons, three
of whom followed him into the importing
and exporting business and the Fowler
family were responsible for trading
many thousands of Jerseys, importing into
the UK, and exporting to America, Canada,
the European continent, as well as Australia,
mostly before the age of steam.
Why Jersey milk?
Over the years farmers in the UK and Jersey Island have sought to breed healthy
cows that produce top quality milk. This has resulted in Jersey cows being renowned
for the quality of the milk they produce, which has long been recognised as being
rich and creamy in texture. Jersey milk has a Glorious Trinity of three qualities
nancial, technical, and commercial.
Financially the high compositional quality of butterfat plus protein reduces collection
and processing costs for processors. The milk protein is worth even more as it is
made up of a higher ratio of casein, particularly Kappa Casein BB, to whey.
Technically the quality of milk protein improves consumer experience of the
products, especially mouth-feel.
Commercially the doe-eyed image of the cow has a value which can be exploited
in marketing campaigns.
The milk is rich in colour which is naturally produced from carotene,
an extract from feedstuffs like grass, the cows natural food.

The qualities of UK Jerseys

Longevity and efciency
Jerseys suffer half the level of foot problems
of Holsteins and are renowned for walking a
long way to grazing where the breeds efciency
of feed conversion is demonstrated.
UK research at Reading University identied
that Jerseys have a signicantly different
eating pattern compared with Holsteins.
Jerseys like to snack, eating little and often.
The diet, too, can be lower cost as Jerseys
were found to need less crude protein in
their ration, 16.5 per cent compared with 18
per cent for Holsteins, 12 per cent starch as
against 22 per cent and 25 per cent higher
levels of digestible bre.
Jersey cows are also renowned for their
longevity, having on average ve calves.
Climate tolerance and fertility
Jerseys are capable of dealing with climatic
extremes better than other dairy breeds. Not
only do they tolerate higher temperatures,
without suffering from sunburn, the breeds
grazing persistence is more robust in
high rainfall conditions.
Fertility is especially valued by farmers and
the fecundity of heifers is such that many
are now served from as young as 12 to 13
months old. In fact, it is unusual to nd
heifers calving at more than two years and
three months old in UK herds.

UK production records
and farm management
Almost 20,000 Jersey cows are milk
recorded in the UK and on the Island.
Jersey milk yield increased 12.5% in the
decade to October 2012 to 5909kg in
305-day recorded lactations.
Weight of Fat + Protein is 544kg,
exceeded only by Holsteins and Brown
Swiss both physically much larger and
heavier breeds. British Cattle Movement
Service statistics indicate that Jersey-
cross females will soon equal the number
of pure-breds in the country.
The Future
Today there are over 650 members of the
UK Jersey Society, registering in excess of
10,000 calves each year.
It is a sign of the growing prominence of the
Jersey breed that there continues to be more
farmers wishing to move to Jersey production,
especially in the regions with favourable
milk marketing opportunities and this has
triggered an increase in stock values.
The UK Jersey Society is working hard to
expand the market for specialty Jersey
products and sales of liquid milk have grown
more quickly in the consumer market than
other fresh milk categories.
Further progress has recently been
achieved with Longley Farm and Fayreelds
both requiring all their contracted farmers
register their cattle in the Herd Book.
This decision was driven by the rms
desire to see all the advantageous
traits of the purebred Jersey cow being
maintained and a need to be able to
answer, in full, customers enquiries about
the provenance of the milk.
The Jersey is the second most popular
specialist dairy breed in the world after
the Holstein and we are working hard
to make it second to none!

The Flagship daughters have
impressed me with their udder
qualities. They are far better than
I expected and on all of the ones I
have milking this is their greatest
quality. The udders have excellent
texture with correct teat position.
The Flagship daughters we have are
producing good quality milk while
their production is average. I am
planning to show one of them and
we can already tell that these are
the sort of animals that will develop
over time to make great old cows.

Roy Boys great-grand dam is
UKs rst 100-tonne Jersey cow
Danish LG Anneka EX90 has become the rst
Jersey cow to produce 100 tonnes of milk in the
UK. In her seventh lactation, Anneka, a daughter
of Jas Bel, reached the cumulative total of
100,716kg milk at a lifetime average of 5.00
percent butterfat and 3.72 percent protein.
When Roy Wilson of Lagangreen, Co. Down,
Northern Ireland imported a batch of Danish
Jersey heifers to compliment the milk quality of
his Holstein herd, little did he know the success
and prole this venture would bring him.
One particular family from this original
importation has like cream, risen to the top!
The Annekas are now synonymous with top
ranking PLI cows on the UK listing. Several
members from this family have featured highly
in the UK Jerseys production and milk quality
competitions. Roy Wilson comments: Soon
after her seventh calving I thought, this cow
could crash the 100-tonne barrier this lactation
if I dont rush her back into calf.
When Roy was satised Anneka could
comfortably achieve the 100 tonnes, he AId
her to sexed DJ Broiler, taking only one straw
to make her pregnant. In 305 days Anneka
produced a staggering 13,216 kg at 4.49%
Fat and 3.52% Protein.
Anneka is the matriarch of the family and
has obviously passed her production
genetics to both her daughter and grand-
daughter. Daughter Lagangreen Sambo
Anneka EX90 has already clocked up 60
tonnes in four lactations and is still going
strong. Grand-daughter, Lagangreen Impuls
Anneka VG86, has just completed a second
lactation of 11,364 kg. Impuls Anneka is
the dam of Lagangreen Roy Boy, currently a
Super Sampler within the Cogent Breeding /
UK Jerseys Visions young sire programme.
The Lagangreen herd is made-up of 40
Jerseys and 250 Holsteins.

Buccaneer x Fantastic x Red Baron
Bees Knees offers Jersey
enthusiasts something very
special, being one of the best
young bulls to come from
Jersey Island in recent years.
He is of unique bloodlines
and certainly one of the
smartest bulls within his
breed. His EX91 dam, now in
her 12th lactation, has already
completed over 70 tonnes of
milk averaging 5.16%F and
3.75%P. Her average SCC over
the 12 lactations is 98.

JERSEY ISLAND GENETICS
From 1,000 registered milk producers
with an average of ve cows each in
the 1950s, Jersey Islands vibrant and
forward looking dairy industry in 2013
is a far cry from the picture postcard
perception that many still hold and
today the majority of the 5,000 head
of cattle on the island are kept on just
15 farms and with the largest herd now
milking 300 cows. All but one of the
25 milk producers belong to the farmer
owned co-operative Jersey Dairy.
The temperate climate enjoyed by the 9 x
5 mile island, which sits just 14 miles from
the French coast, allows Jersey to grow
grass with great ease and so the breed in
its island home has been fashioned towards
a grazing animal with excellent mobility,
depth, capacity and robustness. However
many of the larger herds now base diets
on a mix of ensiled grass and maize during
winter months so the cows and genetics
behind them are tested across a number of
differing management systems.

The isolation of the indigenous cattle
population is something that is strongly
guarded both by pedigree breeders and
Jerseys government alike and following many
years of animal health testing and assessment
the Island herd can boast an exceptional and
enviable health status, being free from TB,
Brucella, EBL, IBR, BVD and Leptospirosis
Hardjo. In addition to which 100% of
animals are ofcially milk recorded (98+%
independently monitored) and all rst lactation
animals are linear assessed and classied
according to the programme and scales used
by both the UK and Jersey Island populations.
The original and in many cases globally
untapped cow families found here offer an
exciting opportunity for breeders around the
world to source genetics from new bloodlines,
completely different to those offered by
semen suppliers over the past 25 years.
In 2008 the Island opened its doors to
imported genetics for the rst time since well
before the establishment of the Jersey Herd
book in 1866. Having to meet an enhanced
pedigree status, in support of the unique
position the Island holds, semen from some
of the worlds top Jersey bulls is now being
skilfully used across a majority of herds and
the blending of these two distinct genetic
bases is showing some fantastic results.
The Home of the Breed can therefore offer
you something very different; untapped cow
families with amazing depth of breeding,
unique pedigrees and now, with the advent
of importation, pedigrees combining the best
the Island has to offer blended with bulls
proven under your management system.
