It's Now October and The Royal is at Hand!

One of the absolute highlights of the Jersey Canada calendar is the National Jersey Show held at the venerable (the RAWF was "born" in 1922!!) Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto, Ontario.
As we race toward the mid-November dates for this year's rendition of "The Royal" some reminders and requests from Jersey Canada are in order.

A. If you'd like the all-time perfect Christmas or otherwise gift for the Jersey lover in your life we have the answer! Jersey Canada true type Model cows are available for delivery to the Royal upon request.
We can also deliver one or two to the All American Jersey events in Louisville, Kentucky in early November if you let us know in advance. Please contact Phyllis at 519-821-1020, ext. 21 or phyllis@jerseycanada.com for more details and to place your order!

B. Again Phyllis would love to hear from anyone who would be willing to fill a brief three hour shift in the Jersey Canada booth at the RAWF. We are very much looking for willing volunteers! The booth will be staffed from Tuesday, November 10 to Sunday, November 15 so there are many opportunities to serve the breed there! Can you help Jersey Canada out? If so contact Phyllis!

C. Deadline for the three Junior Jersey Showmanship classes is Monday, October 19. Entries will be accepted from anyone 10 to 21 years of age at the time of the RAWF. See the August/Setpember Jersey Breeder (page 42) or access the application form on-line at the Youth Page of our Jersey Canada website. We've already had international entries and Canadian entries are flowing in too! Make your entries today! Thanks to Select Sires Canada for sponsoring this great class!
