Jersey Groups Step Up Promotion
REYNOLDSBURG, Ohio —Delivering the message
that registered Jerseys are the most profitable choice
for today’s dairy operators will be the primary task of
a new department recently announced by Neal Smith,
executive secretary and CEO of the American Jersey
Cattle Association and National All-Jersey Inc.
“The timing is right for us to step up our promotion
of the Jersey breed and to more effectively communi
cate the efficiencies of the Jersey cow to commercial
milk producers,” Smith said, in announcing the cre
ation of the development department to be directed by
Cherie L. Bayer.
“We intend to improve general awareness of what
the Jersey cow can do for milk producers, and what
the Jersey organizations can deliver to help them
make the greatest profit in their dairy businesses,”
Smith said.
