Breaking news from Jersey France

On Saturday just past we received a transatlantic phone call from Derrick Frigot of Jersey Island. Derrick was not home on The Island but instead in France. He and Anne Perchard and David Hambrook from Jersey were attending an historic Jersey show. According to our good friend Olivier Bulot, Manager of Jersey France, the organization were holding their first National Show in 23 years! Peter Larson, Manager of Jersey Denmark was there to serve as Judge.


And the reason for Derrick's call to us? Peter had just made a daughter of Canadian-bred sire Glenholme Counciller (Semex) Champion of the show!! Given the proximity of France and Denmark a good percentage of the cattle in France sport Danish genetics and the show featured a lot of Danish-sired cattle.


We'll have more details and photos once Derrick is home. Jersey Canada supported Jersey France by forwarding two prizes for successful exhibitors!  Bravo Jersey France and Olivier and Peter and Derrick, Annie and David!

Here is a photo of the Grand Champion cow, sired by Counciller.
