Spring Classification Tour 2020 Around The Grounds

New Fee in 2021

Jersey Australia is implementing a new fee from March 1st, 2021 for classification of unregistered cows. The new fee incorporates both the classification fee and older animals’ registration fee. The charge rates are: Fully Registerable Cow $45.00 + GST Genetic Recovery Cow $22.00 + GST Classifying unregistered cows take additional time to record on paper and administer when the cow is eventually registered. The fee is in line with the total cost payable to the member for the registration and classification if done separately. If a member chooses to not register the cow and presents her for a future class, the unregistered fee will apply again.

Autumn Class Tour

JA is now taking bookings for the Autumn class tour. Book your visit online at https://jersey.com.au/product/ autumn2021-class-booking/ or complete and return the enclosed class booking forms. Positive Selection Bull List Breeding the next generation of Australian Jerseys takes a lot of research, a set plan, some good advice, and no doubt a little of luck. After each ABV run in April, August and December, JA publishes a list of top bulls in key traits and indexes. After the Dec 2020 ABV releases, we added a new list being the Positive Selections List. The key criteria for bulls to make the list are they must be positive for Fat and Protein %, Fertility, Milk L, and Overall Type and Mammary on the ABV system JA considers these trats or index trait are some of the most significant in supporting cow longevity and farm profitability. We would like to hear your feedback on the bull lists we publish. Are they relevant or not relevant to your and your breeding objectives? Let us know by emailing jersey@jersey. com.au

Genomic Testing Program

In the Jersey Journal we announced the Genomic testing project that aims to genomic test top BPI and Classification cows who are not yet tested. Some feed back on this is why genomic test the top classification cows. There are many reasons to genomic test your animals with parentage conformation, haplotypes and genetic recessive identification and identifying the genetic potential of your future milking cows at a young age providing you the most advanced information and management data to make the appropriate management decision in your herd some of the more obvious reasons. >>>

Understanding the genetics reasons on why some cows classify high and others don’t is a future R&D project and building the genomic database on these cows is an important 1st step towards this. R&D data sets need to have sufficient data to provide reliable outcomes and with only a limited number of cows each year classifying 93 or above, building the data sets will take time.

Member Development Program

Jersey Australia reminds clubs and members that the Member Development Program is available to support club or individual efforts to encourage and attract new members.

Jersey Most Profitable Cow Project

We all love the Australian Jersey cow for many and varied reasons and one of the most important is the expected profitable values that the jersey cow brings to your business. JA has commissioned Capacity Ag to undertake an evidencebased study to investigate and identity the key advantages and contributors to farm profitability of the Australian Jersey. The project will look at several aspects including but not limited to Feed Efficiency, Milk components and market suitability, Fertility, Cow Longevity, Heat Tolerance, Health, Lifetime Production Efficiency, Heat Tolerance and Environmental Footprint. Your inputs into the project will be vital with a member survey. Members will also be sought to share their herd physical farm and business data on a confidential basis.

2021 All Australian Photo Competition

Entries are now being invited for the 2021 All Australian Photo Competition. With very few shows in 2020 and the early part of 2021, this year’s competition will not require the animals to be shown. Photos must have been taken between March 1st 2020 and Feb 28th, 2021. For competition guidelines and entry forms, go to https://jersey.com.au/all-australian-photo-competition/
