COLUMBUS, Ohio The
119th Annual Meeting of The
American Jersey Cattle Club, held
June 26 in Eau Claire, Wis., saw
remarkable optimism from Jersey
breeders nationwide.
President David W. Spahr,
Findlay, Ohio, who was elected to
his second one-year term, spoke to
the assemblage from 38 states and
' three foreign countries of the excit
ing times facing Jersey breeders.
“Down on the farm, Jersey bulk
tanks are overflowing, (milk mark
eting) organizations are scram
bling to buy Jersey milk, cattle
sales are good and we now have a
lively export market,” he said.
“We have worked hard to get
where we are today,” he continued,
“but we will have to work harder in
the future. Our formula to expand
the number of Jersey cows in the
United States means more of the
same; increase production and
work to get a better price for our
milk.”

Executive Secretary Maurice E.
Core reported that 1986 saw the
largest numbers of Jerseys on offi
cial DHI test in breed history, over
145,000. “Many dairy exports feel
(ownership) transfers are the best
barometer of activity for any breed
association,” Core said, “and in
1986, we transferred 25,708
Jerseys, the largest number in two
decades.”
“Several veteran observers
believe there are two primary rea
sons for the growing interest and
demand for Jerseys,” Core went
on, “Equity (in milk pricing) in
more and more markets and
increased population of our
Jerseys.” He reported the breed
DHIR lactation averaged to be at
an all time high of 13,068 pounds
of milk and 616 pounds of
butterfat.
