The advantage? Higher conception rates and easier
calving for the original heifers; superior mothering
ability and rapid gains through increased milk
production for subsequent generations.
Commercial herds of the larger dairy breeds have also
discovered the advantage of using JERSEY bulls to
breed their first-calf heifers to decrease calving dif
ficulty.
If you are looking for a young bull an efficient dairy
animal a future show prospect or a superior
family cow write for the new Pennsylvania Jersey
Breeders Directory to locate JERSEY breeders in
your area.
Plan to attend the Pennsylvania Jersey Cattle Sale on
