Those Jerseys! They are everywhere!

Always nice to see the Jersey breed being recognized as a thriving part of our Canuck dairy industry! When I was at the Manitoba Dairy Conference in early December, I made a pleasing discovery! Jersey Canada Past President Janna Remond came for a visit at one point carrying an interesting T-shirt.

See accompanying photos of the front and back of this "Running Jersey"! The shirts were created by Manitoba Milk, the provincial milk marketing agency. I spoke with the friendly lady who was looking after sales in their promo item booth during the conference. She told me that some on their team felt it was time to go with some colour after creating so many black and white items!  I couldn't help but agree, of course!

Now we might like a prettier cow but we have to recognize that the shirts are for more than the fine connoisseur of cows crew! The 204 "runner number" relates to the area code for Manitoba. We love the message on the backside of the shirt, or Jersey, which reads: "Caution! Drinking Chocolate Milk Can Lead to Winning Races."

We congratulate and thank Manitoba Milk for creating an item featuring a Jersey cow on a running jersey!  The Manitoba Milk website is at www.milk.mb.ca.  Yup, those Jerseys they are popping up anywhere and everywhere, and that will continue and amplify!
