Stud Overview

My Passion for the Jersey Breed began at a young age through time spent at Wallacedale Jerseys. As time went on through my later teenage years I began to show and prepare the Wallacedale cattle at shows. I was given my first Jersey cow at about 14 years of age off the Wallace family which was an Ex Adonis cow from the Melaine cow family. From that point I began the Attaview prefix in 1999. Over the past 10 years a number of Cow familes have been added to the herd, always focusing on depth of pedigree and cows that display great width, openness throughout and quality udders that I can then breed on with and develop within the Attaview Herd.

Most significant stud achievements Being able to continue with all the cow families and improving them over the years.

Stud Overview

Youngstar was established in 1995 with my first calf being given to me from a local breeder Riverdale Jerseys, her name was Rose 84 who went on to give multiple progeny. My second most prominent cow family at the beginning and still continuing now with family members is the Iodex family. Over the years we have gone to multiple sales and brought some new families such as Inch, Vanessa, Bonita and Giggles just to name a few.
