News streams into this office from so many sources. We love that! Recently Angela Masters, Editor of the Atlantic Holstein News and a Nova Scotia resident sent us some photos and a story about adventures that her two young sons have had with Jerseys.
Angela and her husband Brian are the justifiably proud parents of Riley and Linden. Now, Angela has a Jersey heritage in that she showed Jersey calves from the Twin Maples herd of the late Preston Murray and Belle Murray during her 4-H days.
Riley and Linden are thrilled to own their own brown cow Eloc Emblem Kookies, a July 2008 daughter of young sire Hollylane Jade's Emblem. At the tender age of 13 months, Kookies has already made two visits to the famed grounds of the "State Fair" at Middle Musquodoboit, Nova Scotia that we've been writing about lately.
She made a good start in 2008 with two leadsmen as you'll see shortly. This year older brother Riley took control and guided the heifer to a first in class placing and the Honourable Mention Junior Champion placing in the protein breeds show.
There is very little if anything that is more inspiring than to see young people expressing an interest in the breed. We have so many new and young faces showing up at Jersey events today. It is a whole new world! Enjoy the photos of Riley and his bro Linden supplied by their mother Angela!

Mother Angela says it is a case of older brother Riley saying "you push, I'll pull" to brother Linden when they unveiled Kookies in a wet ring in 2008. Yup, looks like a clear case of "push me, pull me" for Kookies to us!
"Eyes on the Judge"
"That's my girl"....Riley & Kookie growing up fast!
