WOW! And we mean WOW!
During the time period from November 29 to December 7, our fearless and agile and highly capable National Extension Agent Jean-Marc Pellerin traveled to British Columbia and Manitoba and back home to Quebec. He was doing extension work as part of Jersey Canada's cooperation with regional Jersey associations. In this case Jersey West and Jersey Canada were teaming up to grow the breed in two of the four Western provinces!
In addition J-M attended the annual meeting of the Manitoba Jersey Cattle Club (see our two most recent Think Jerseys! blog postings from earlier this month!) and work with the Jersey display at the associated Manitoba Jersey Conference.
In four and half days (some of them very loooonnnggg days!) J-M accomplished the following in working with newer Jersey owners:
This is a phenomenal amount of activity for such a short and jam-packed trip! Two things are readily apparent from the trip! We have a superb National Extension Agent-but you knew that already! This "Jersey thang" is taking off like never before! We're living in the land of no limits! And we are lovin' that! Watch us grow and be a part of the momentum!

- 20 herd visits
- 6 new members signed up-taking us over 1,025 for the year!
- 4 new herd names registered-taking us over 130 for the year!
- 46 registrations!
- 63 transfers (plus 25 to 30 more that RGG and J-M collected at the Dairy Conference!)
