Happy 75th Perth-Huron Jersey Club

What a wondrous thing it is when a local Jersey organization reaches its 75th anniversary and is still full of life and vibrancy and doing good things!

This club has held an annual harvest sale for decades, holds regular club meetings throughout the year, has hosted some excellent Provincial annual meeitngs, has been and is home to leading breeders, world famous Jersey herds and individuals who've done so much for the breed not only close to home but nationally as well.

Today, there are many young people working hard on Jersey farms in the Perth-Huron area in South-Western Ontario. Lots of great Jersey cows live in the region. Sales selectors and others seeking good Jerseys delight in touring this area. A regular stream of new faces to the breed are investing in Jersey genetics within the club's boundaries! Production leaders and show champions originate there and often spend their working careers in this fertile two county region.

Jersey Canada salutes all the members of this dynamic club on three-quarters of a century of leadership to and support for the breed. May the next 25 years leading up to your centennial be even more successful! Congratulations on reaching such an impressive milestone! You have accomplished a giant bundle of good things!
