July 31st activity stats for Jersey Canada's registry work processing really got our motors running! Once we did some number-crunching with the raw data and put it all in historical perspective we were flying!
After seven months of 2009 we are at our highest membership level since 1967, 42 years ago!! Can you believe it? Well, believe it! And even better is the fact that our membership count in closing in on the golden figure of 1,000!!
Pretty neat when one considers that in 1967 there would have been more than ten times the number of dairy farms in Canada that there are today!
Then, we looked at the related stats on number of new herd names registered! 81 so far in 2009 and adding 11 in the month of July alone! That puts us at 767 registered since January of 2004! Furthermore we'll likely cross over the "800 since January 2004" line before the end of 2009!
We almost fell off of our chair when we looked at the stats for number of embryos transferred this year to date! Over 440 in seven months this year compared to just over 215 in all of 2008! For those who love percentages that's an increase of 104% over all of 2008!
Can you say "On Fire'!!??
Our new Canadian Jersey Embryo Program launched in late October of 2008 in conjunction with The Semex Alliance has moved embryos to nine foreign countries along with some domestic activity and growing doemstic interest! And this in a "down time" for the global economy!
All of this makes us look forward to the remaining five months of 2009 with great anticipation!
There is no telling what the Jersey cow and her dedciated owners can make happen next!
